A research team has identified subtypes of astrocytes in the white matter of the mouse brain, one of which possesses an ...

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 ...

The researchers also found that some of these special, proliferative astrocytes were able to move from white matter to gray ...

“It always seemed like the brain is defending itself and it’s fighting the tumor, but now we know the astrocytes aren’t actually helping.” The researchers first implanted mouse glioblastoma cells in ...

When faced with chronic stress, why do some people develop anxiety and depressive symptoms while others show resilience? A protein that acts as a cannabinoid receptor and is present in the structure ...

"The fact that we could alter mouse behavior by selectively manipulating an astrocyte ensemble poses an intriguing question: are astrocytes a substrate for memory? We plan to further investigate ...

Erythropoietin-producing hepatoma (Eph) receptors, including EphA4, are expressed on the cell surface and involved in brain development, which involves extensive pruning of synapses. A variant in ...

Mice resilient to stress had more CB1 receptors in the BBB than mice with depressive-like behavior or mice not exposed to stress.
