The causes of Alzheimer’s disease have long puzzled researchers, especially when most older adults show signs of the illness ...

Seizures rapidly deplete brain energy, disrupting ATP and pushing astrocytes into overdrive, reveals a breakthrough study ...

Pain processing involves neurons, microglia and astrocytes. The functions of glia extend beyond basic support for neurons. Once activated, they release various classic immune factors that are also ...

Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells in the central nervous system that support neuronal function, maintain the blood-brain barrier, and contribute to brain repair and homeostasis.

Sarah Francesca Chianese, the 58-year-old daughter of The Sopranos star Dominic Chianese, has died after battling ...

Over the last decade, Dr. Fossati’s lab has developed robust and efficient protocols to generate human oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, microglia, neurons and complex 3D organoid cultures with the full ...

Specifically, astrocytes and microglia express IL-17RA ... Exogenous IL-17A does not significantly alter the expression of IL-17RA in glial cells, suggesting that upregulation of chemokines ...

Dr. Bushman’s primary research interests are the roles of astrocytes and other glia in the central nervous system and regeneration of the central and peripheral nervous systems following traumatic ...

Neuron 2012). Additional developmental studies in this area revealed that NFIA and Sox10 mutually antagonize each other’s function and this regulates the generation of the glial sub-lineages, with ...
