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 ...

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.] ...

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

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

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 ...

according to new research that reveals more about how these neuron support cells work. Previous research has shown that astrocytes go into power-cleaning mode when they encounter amyloid beta ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. Led by postdoctoral researcher Benjamin Clayton, Tesar’s team built and validated their new discovery platform with sequencing and cellular technologies, examining ...

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 ...
