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).

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

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 ...

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, ...

"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...
