Astrocytes, the predominant glial population in the human central nervous system, play crucial roles in neuroprotection, immunity, and homeostasis. However, when exposed to certain neuroinflammatory ...
A new breakthrough in Alzheimer disease research - visualizing reactive astrocyte-neuron interaction
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 ...
Why do some people with amyloid plaques decline, while others do not? In the May 29 Nature Medicine, researchers led by Tharick Pascoal at the University of Pittsburgh laid some of the blame on ...
A new platform for screening astrocyte reactivity helps researchers uncover potential therapeutic interventions to treat neurodegenerative conditions. Led by postdoctoral researcher Benjamin Clayton, ...
Astrocytes are specialized glial cells ubiquitously distributed throughout the spinal cord and brain. They occupy approximately 50% of the total volume of the central nervous system (CNS) and are ...
As neuronal supporters and immune surveyors, astrocytes and microglia are no mere bystanders to the neuronal mayhem that unfolds in Alzheimer’s disease. At the AD/PD meeting, held March 5-9 in Lisbon, ...
Researchers have discovered the mechanism by which a cluster of astrocytes, specialized brain cells, in the hypothalamus cause obesity in mice. Their study also identified a drug that inhibited the ...
Pretty much everything happening in the brain would fail without astrocytes. These star-shaped glial cells are known to have a critical role in synapse creation, nervous tissue repair, and the ...
