PET imaging of reactive astrocyte-neuron interaction reveals new insights into Alzheimer's disease pathology, offering a potential breakthrough in diagnosis and treatment Recently, a team of South ...

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 ...

Picture a star-shaped cell in the brain, stretching its spindly arms out to cradle the neurons around it. That's an astrocyte ...

As neuronal supporters and immune surveyors, astrocytes and microglia are no mere bystanders to the neuronal mayhem that unfolds in Alzheimer’s disease. At the AD/PD meeting, held March 5-9 in Lisbon, ...

When the brain is injured in some way, a wide range of biochemical changes are triggered that can affect crucial brain cells known as astrocytes. They are a type of glial cell, and brain injuries ...

Much of the brain is made up of a constellation of star-shaped cells called astrocytes, which play vital roles in immunity, neuron maintenance and many other functions. In Alzheimer’s disease, some ...

The potential effects of astrocyte dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases are summarized in Figure 2. AD is characterized clinically by cognitive loss in two or more domains, including memory, ...

The selective MAOB inhibitor KDS2010 significantly improved functional recovery in a spinal cord injury animal model. Treated animals showed marked restoration of behavioral scores and locomotor ...

Recently, a team of South Korean scientists led by Director C. Justin LEE of the Center for Cognition and Sociality within the Institute for Basic Science made a new discovery that can revolutionize ...
