Astrocytes improve tactile categorization by modulating sensory processing in neurons.

Correlation between sarcopenia and changes in oligodendrocyte lineage cells in the brains of Alzheimer's disease model mice

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by cognitive dysfunction. The discovery and identification of non-cognitive symptoms in the preclinical stage hold promise for early diagnosis and ...

Heterogeneous Cytoskeletal Force Distribution Delineates the Onset Ca2+ Influx Under Fluid Shear Stress in Astrocytes

Mechanical perturbations increase intracellular Ca2+ in cells, but the coupling of mechanical forces to the Ca2+ influx is not well understood. We used a microfluidic chamber driven with a high-speed pressure servo to generate defined fluid...

Non-invasive large-scale imaging of concurrent neuronal, astrocytic, and hemodynamic activity with hybrid multiplexed fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging (HyFMRI)

Abstract A critical gap currently exists in systematic understanding and experimental validation of the role of astrocytes in neurovascular coupling and their functional links with other brain cells. Despite a broad selection of functional ...

The Role of Mast Cells and Their Potential as a Therapeutic Target For Neuroinflammation

Sarah Adriana Scuderi,1 Rossella Basilotta,2 Laura Cucinotta,2 Alessio Ardizzone,3 Emanuela Esposito21Genetics and Pharmacogenetics Unit, ‘Gaetano Martino’ University Hospital, Messina, Italy; 2Department of Chemical, Biological, Pharmaceut...

The optimized PBAE-loaded pro-neurogenic IFs nanoparticles reprogram astrocytes within the glial scar into diverse neuronal subtypes.

Cyclic multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemistry and machine learning reveal distinct states of astrocytes and microglia in normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract Background Astrocytes and microglia react to Aβ plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and neurodegeneration in the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brain. Single-nuclei and single-cell RNA-seq have revealed multiple states or subpopulations of...
