A new study from scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging has revealed a surprising player in the battle ...

"Changes in astrocyte metabolism can severely affect how neurons communicate, influencing cognition and other functions," Logan said. The researchers' goal is to identify specific markers within ...

Research uncovered how glycogen metabolism in neurons impacts neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Disruption in this ...

A drug that restores brain metabolism in mouse models of Alzheimer's also improved cognitive function. ... ANDREASSON: The astrocytes are kind of put to sleep, but you got to wake them up, ...

PET imaging of reactive astrocyte-neuron interaction reveals new insights into Alzheimer's disease pathology, offering a potential breakthrough in diagnosis and treatment Recently, a team of South ...

B rain support cells called astrocytes have long been found around glioblastomas, leading scientists to think that the cells rally to help fight the tumors, but recent studies have found that the ...

"Most people focus on neurons, but there are actually more astrocytes in the brain than neurons. Once the metabolism of astrocytes becomes perturbed, then the astrocyte definitely will not be able ...

Dysregulated central-energy metabolism is a hallmark of brain aging. Supplying enough energy for neurotransmission relies on the neuron-astrocyte metabolic network.

These astrocytes demonstrated increased expression of genes associated with glucose metabolism and stress responses but not senescent markers. They also identified a population of astrocytes that were ...

A new study has shed light on how physical activity helps rewire and protect the brain from Alzheimer's disease on a cellular ...

Adenosine activates astrocyte glucose metabolism and supply of energy to neurons to ensure that synaptic function (neurotransmitters passing communication signals between cells) continues apace ...

Serotonin triggers changes in astrocyte gene expression patterns, turning astrocytes into a hub of olfactory sensation processing,” Sardar said. “This project has uncovered novel aspects of astrocyte ...
