Activating the astrocyte ensemble specifically stimulates synaptic activity or communication in the corresponding neuron ...

Astrocytes develop through the same pathway as neurons, beginning first as a neuronal stem cell until a molecular switch flips and turns the cell's fate from neuron to astrocyte. To create a brain ...

The fundamental astrocyte-neuron computer model for self-repair proposed in this project was proven in an earlier EPSRC eFutures funded project (EFXD12011) where it was demonstrated that the ...

Rabah et al. discover an astrocyte-to-neuron hydrogen peroxide signalling cascade, which is crucial for long-term memory formation in Drosophila. This signalling is found to be inhibited by ...

University of Oklahoma's Dr. Sreemathi Logan leads a study on dementia, backed by a $2.2 million grant, focusing on aging, ...

Sphere of Influence. In iAssembloids, microglia (red) form projections (white arrows), while astrocytes (green) assume star shapes typically found in the brain. [Courtesy of Kampmann et al., 2025.] ...

Neuron, Cell Press’s prestigious neuroscience ... aging processes like white matter deterioration and how aged astrocytes impact brain function. “While the causes of disease are multifactorial ...

“Ben put a lot of effort into developing the cell culture protocols so that the starting astrocytes were physiological or otherwise normal,” said Tesar. “Understanding that if we could mimic at least ...

We are broadly interested in the question of how interactions between cells within the brain (particularly between astrocytes and neurons) influence physiology and behavior. Astrocytes are the major ...
