Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have unraveled the processes that give astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the brain, their special bushy shape, which is fundamental for brain ...
New neuroscience research identifies Glutamine Synthetase as the key enzyme driving postnatal brain maturation and neuronal connectivity via the mTOR pathway.
Researchers have applied object recognition technology to track changes in brain cell structure and provide new insights into how the brain responds to heroin use, withdrawal and relapse. Object ...
A project led by Johns Hopkins University has successfully imaged astrocytes, the brain's most abundant cells, in their natural state. The star-shaped astrocytes are known to be responsible for ...
A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a ...
Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.
Scientists have developed a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease by turning ordinary brain cells into powerful plaque-clearing machines. Instead of requiring frequent antibody ...
