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

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, ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes—star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons—play a previously underappreciated role in the maturation of coordinated movement. A ...

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 ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes-star-shaped support cells traditionally viewed as passive partners of neurons-play a previously underappreciated ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte, and for a long time, scientists thought its job was caretaking the brain, ...

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

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