Researchers headed by a team at the Institute for Basic Science’s Center for Cognition and Sociality in South Korea reported on a discovery that they claim could revolutionize the diagnosis and ...

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 ...

Astrocytes are critical for neurons and engage in a specific reactive response in Huntington’s disease. Astrocyte reactivity is being revealed as a heterogeneous and functionally powerful component of ...

Astrocytes are integral constituents of the central nervous system, serving roles that extend far beyond mere structural support. These specialised glial cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, ...

In a recent review published in Experimental & Molecular Medicine, researchers reviewed existing data on the neurodegenerative effects of astrocyte-derived lipocalin-2 (LCN-2). Study: Lipocalin-2: a ...

New research published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity provides evidence that alcohol use disorder triggers a distinct type of immune response in the brain. The findings suggest that excessive ...

The adage of astrocytes as doting neuronal nursemaids has been supplanted by the view that astrocytes play a muscular part in the function of the brain. Provoke them, and astrocytes can shift from ...

A groundbreaking study at Tel Aviv University effectively eradicated glioblastoma, a highly lethal type of brain cancer. The researchers achieved the outcome using a method they developed based on ...

DAM, HAM, WAM, LDAM, MGnD, ARM, A1/A2—got them all straight? The list of names for microglial and astrocyte profiles is growing, because these glial cells change in diverse ways in response to brain ...
