A single treatment of viral vector-delivered CAR-A construct in mice with existing plaque saturation cut the amount of amyloid plaques in half.

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

Researchers found that astrocytes in the amygdala actively encode, maintain, and extinguish fear memories. Altering their activity changed fear responses and neural signaling.

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

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize ...

The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs - the first proven to change the course of the disease - typically extend independent living for patients by 10 months. Called monoclonal antibodies, ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

Scientists have identified prematurely aged astrocytes in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, particularly those with the APOE4 risk gene. Their findings suggest that cellular senescence in these ...

For some time, the field of neuroscience has been predominantly "neurocentric," viewing neurons as the primary agents of information processing while ...

In a recent study published in Neuropsychopharmacology, researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) found that inflammation in a key decision-making region of the brain led to more ...
