He used RNA-Seq to capture gene expression patterns, then compared them with bulk tissue RNA-Seq to identify which transcripts were specific to astrocytes. Of 4,314 transcripts enriched in astrocytes, ...

Astrocyte networks in the mouse brain control spatial learning and memory Date: March 8, 2022 Source: University of Zurich Summary: Astrocytes form large networks of interconnected cells in the ...

A brimming inbox on Monday morning sets your head spinning. You take a moment to breathe and your mind clears enough to survey the emails one by one.

"It is known that astrocytes are a heterogeneous cell type in their molecular and gene expression signatures, morphology and origin," Marta Navarrete, senior author of the paper, told Medical Xpress.

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 ...

Many brain studies have focused on the effects social deprivation has on neurons, but little is known about the consequences for the most abundant brain cell, the astrocyte. Researchers at Baylor ...
