“It always seemed like the brain is defending itself and it’s fighting the tumor, but now we know the astrocytes aren’t actually helping.” The researchers first implanted mouse glioblastoma cells in ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. Led by postdoctoral researcher Benjamin Clayton, Tesar’s team built and validated their new discovery platform with sequencing and cellular technologies, examining ...

Their cross-species examination of primate and rodent spinal cords revealed new insights into the behaviors of ependymal and astrocyte cells following SCI, highlighting their dynamic roles in ...

Intriguingly, we also found that the integration of transplanted astrocytes into the recipient is affected by the age of the mouse, which reflects the maturity of the cellular environment the ...

By delivering these autophagy-associated genes specifically into astrocytes in AD mouse models, the researchers observed the recovery of damaged neurons. This study demonstrated that astrocytic ...

A new study found that stimulating CB2, a receptor involved in immune cell function, improved cognitive performance in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse models. Researchers showed that activating CB2 ...
