An inert and unreactive gas may not seem like an obvious candidate for treating Alzheimer's disease, yet a new study in mice ...

Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells in ... "With our colleagues at AbbVie Inc, we also studied progression of microglia, endothelial, and neuronal cells in AD," added Das.

Using a single-cell sequencing technique, Brazilian researchers have created the first cell atlas of focal cortical dysplasia ...

Sphere of Influence. In iAssembloids, microglia (red) form projections (white arrows), while astrocytes (green) assume star shapes typically found in the brain. [Courtesy of Kampmann et al., 2025.] ...

Brain support cells called astrocytes have long been found around glioblastomas, leading scientists to think that the cells rally to help fight the tumors, but recent studies have found that the cells ...

In a recent study published in PNAS, Zhang showed that the transcription factor DLX2 can convert astrocytes into progenitors that produce various cell types, including neurons. 3 These findings ...

Differentiation of iPSCs into neurons, astrocytes, microglia allow us to analyze aberrant gene and protein expression, function and metabolism in developing and maturing human brain before the disease ...
