Weill Cornell researchers uncovered how free radicals from astrocyte mitochondria can fuel dementia. Using new compounds that ...

Free radicals generated at a specific site in non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes may promote dementia, according to a ...

Their study highlights the role of support cells known as astrocytes in generating excessive mitochondrial reactive oxygen species at a specific site — mitochondrial Complex III — and suggests that ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have uncovered a new clue in understanding how dementia develops—and their discovery ...

At Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a new branch of brain science is blooming at the molecular scale—with nanoflowers. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. A study published ...

Metallic nanoflowers may be the next frontier in brain health, reducing oxidative stress, protecting mitochondria, and even extending lifespan in lab models. A new study shows they hold “incredible ...

The potential effects of astrocyte dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases are summarized in Figure 2. AD is characterized clinically by cognitive loss in two or more domains, including memory, ...

Astrocytes are star shaped cells that make up around 35% of human brain cells. They were once thought of as cells that simply supported neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). But in recent years ...

Weill Cornell scientists found that free radicals from astrocyte mitochondria fuel brain inflammation linked to dementia. New ...
