Researchers engineer CAR-astrocytes to target and remove amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s, showing a 50% reduction in brain waste with a single injection.

A new study reveals that astrocytes, once dismissed as mere support cells, play a central role in fear memory.

WashU Medicine researchers designed a cellular immunotherapy that turns astrocytes (green), a type of cell in the brain, into super cleaners that sweep away Alzheimer’s-related proteins. With this new ...

The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs — the first proven to change the course of the disease — typically extend independent living for ...

Even in mice with existing amyloid plaques, one injection of the gene therapy was associated with a roughly 50 percent ...

Scientists at MIMETAS have published a new study describing a scalable, self-assembling human blood-brain barrier (BBB) model that combines physiological relevance with high-throughput capability. The ...

New research reveals that psilocybin and MDMA promote long-term PTSD recovery by physically remodeling myelin insulation in ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not only characterized by strongly encoded traumatic memories, but also by disrupted coordination across brain networks. New research shows that treatment with ...

Together, these findings indicate that astrocytes undergo profound sex- and region-specific adaptations to chronic ethanol, implicating extracellular matrix and glycosaminoglycan remodeling as key ...

New study reveals that 'SuperAgers' have brains that produce twice the number of young neurons, showing the brain's capacity to regenerate and resist cognitive decline.

Researchers found that psilocybin and MDMA may alleviate PTSD symptoms by promoting myelin remodeling in the brain. In rat models, psychedelic treatment triggered oligodendrocyte-driven myelin repair ...
