A regulatory protein in astrocytes may explain how certain memories persist over time for learning and cognitive function.
Summary: Astrocytes, star-shaped non-neuronal cells, serve as active gatekeepers of long-term memory stability. By ...
In a recent review published in Experimental & Molecular Medicine, researchers reviewed existing data on the neurodegenerative effects of astrocyte-derived lipocalin-2 (LCN-2). Study: Lipocalin-2: a ...
Once overlooked, astrocytes are increasingly recognized as star players in Alzheimer’s disease, with recent studies blaming them for feeding into a neurotoxic stew that kills neurons. In the September ...
Researchers working with Alzheimer’s disease mouse models have shown that manipulating a single factor in brain cells called ...
Move over, amyloid, reactive astrocytes and activated microglia may be the main drivers of the Alzheimer’s disease pathological cascade. In the November 6 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Pedro ...
