We will begin by highlighting a subset of the many cellular functions of astrocytes, focusing specifically on those functions that have the most relevance to neurodegeneration (Figure 1). Other ...

A key mechanism which detects when the brain needs an additional energy boost to support its activity has been identified in a study in mice and cells led by UCL scientists. The scientists say their ...

Fatty diets and obesity affect the structure and function of astrocytes 1, the star-shaped brain cells located in the striatum, a brain region involved in the perception of pleasure generated by food ...

Scientists are experimenting with a novel approach to treating Alzheimer's disease in mice. They're using a drug that helps the brain make energy. NPR's Jon Hamilton says in a mouse, at least, the ...

Glucose metabolism is understood to be disrupted in aging brains, particularly in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Researchers have identified an enzyme that regulates ...
