Brown, A.M. et al. Astrocyte glycogen metabolism is required for neural activity during aglycemia or intense stimulation in mouse white matter. J. Neurosci. Res. 79, 74–80 (2005).

Gaikwad agreed that other factors such as pathological tau, oxidative stress, and aging may be influencing astrocytes in AD brain. He suggested testing whether the changes in astrocyte urea metabolism ...

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

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, ...

Comparing reactive astrocyte RNA-Seq datasets from Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and Parkinson’s brain revealed a ...

These results suggest that acetate, previously considered an astrocyte-specific energy source, can facilitate reactive astrogliosis and contribute to the suppression of neuronal metabolism.

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 ...

The astrocyte–neuron lactate-shuttle hypothesis states that lactate, once released into the extracellular space by astrocytes, can be up-taken and metabolized by neurons. This review focuses on this ...

Recent study results reveal the importance of the role of astrocytes in the brain due to the exchange between astrocytes and neurons that is disturbed during Huntington disease, a fatal ...

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 ...
