Stroke affects hundreds of thousands of people each year and leads to neuronal damage and often long term disabilities. This study served as an exploratory study investigating astrocyte to neuron ...

Major depressive disorder affects hundreds of millions worldwide, but a key to understanding its origins may lie in the brain ...

Astrocyte has begun dosing athletes in its Phase 2 STARFAST trial, a first-of-its-kind study taking place in Adelaide, Australia, with players from the Adelaide Football League. Male and female ...

Astrocytes are key glial cells in the brain that form specialized contacts with the vascular system. Together, these interactions constitute the gliovascular unit (GVU), which is an interface between ...

We used single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) films to modulate the morpho-functional and proliferative characteristics of astrocytes. When plated on the CNT films of various thicknesses, astrocytes ...

Furthermore, they discovered a critical mechanism involving activated microglia and astrocytes that resulted in sustained neuroinflammation in MDD. The first step of the mechanism was the release ...

Movement Mobilizes Microglia, Astrocytes to Protect Against Alzheimer’s in snRNA-seq Mice Study June 13, 2025 Credit: Alllex ...

Within astrocytes, a significant role for neuroligin 2 in determining excitatory synapse formation and astrocyte morphology was shown in 2017. However, there has been no assessment of what happens to ...

With compelling evidence, including rigorous validation of neuroligin deletion efficiency in astrocytes and independent confirmation using human neuron-mouse glia co-cultures, the authors report that ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research.

It is now known that astrocytes modulate the activity at the tripartite synapses where indirect signaling via the retrograde messengers, endocannabinoids, leads to a localized self-repairing ...

Brazilian researchers have found that the brain protein hevin can reverse cognitive decline in mice, offering a new avenue for Alzheimer’s research that bypasses the long-targeted beta-amyloid plaques ...
