Astrocytes in the cerebellum trigger a shift in GABA signaling during late adolescence, enabling adult-level motor coordination.

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

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

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, they ...

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

A new kind of cellular immunotherapy shows promise in preventing Alzheimer's-associated plaques from forming in the brain – ...

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 ...
