indicates that mutant huntingtin is also present in the nuclei of astrocytes, a phenomenon that becomes more robust with age and corresponds with a downregulation of glutamate transporters in ...

Astrocytes from both groups had deficits in glutamate signaling. The cool part is what happened next: When they exposed astrocytes to clozapine, glutamate signaling normalized—but only in the ...

Astrocytes connect and support communication ... NO synthesis is self-sustaining, supported by the NO-glutamate loop, but ...

This review considers the role that optic nerve head astrocytes might play in the initiation of axon damage, based on the hypothesis that these cells are sensitive to mechanical or ischaemic ...

In a recent study published in PNAS, Zhang showed that the transcription factor DLX2 can convert astrocytes into progenitors that produce various cell types, including neurons. 3 These findings ...

Astrocytes are the major glial cell in the central nervous ... The movie shows arteriole dilation evoked by a brief pressure injection (picospritzer) of glutamate into the cortex. Red blood cells ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) The study identifies distinct subtypes of white matter astrocytes, including a unique type with regenerative potential. Using advanced sequencing techniques ...

Astrocytes are the largest and most prevalent type of glial cell in the central nervous system. Astrocytes contribute to formation of the blood–brain barrier, participate in the maintenance of ...
