Summary: Astrocytes, critical brain cells, are often lost in neurodegenerative diseases, but recent research highlights the promise of astrocyte transplantation to restore brain function. These ...

Astrocytes are the largest and most prevalent type of glial cell in the central nervous system. Astrocytes contribute to formation of the blood–brain barrier, participate in the maintenance of ...

The first test to see if astrocytes were involved in recall was to artificially activate them when the mice were in a box that they were not conditioned to fear. It turned out artificial ...

If the same mice were placed in a different situation, they would not freeze because it’s not the original context in which they were conditioned to feel fear. “Working with these mice and with our ...

Manipulating astrocytes’ acidity in mice influences memory retention, with acidification impairing and alkalinization preserving long-term memories, offering insights into memory treatment approaches.

This important study demonstrated that ablation of astrocytes in the lumbar spinal cord not only reduced neuropathic pain but also caused microglia activation. The findings presented add considerable ...

The best medium format cameras boast two things that no other digital camera offers: the physically biggest image sensors, for unparalleled image quality, and native 100MP resolution for unmatched ...
