Astrocytes in the prefrontal cortex are closely linked to depression, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, the authors show that reduction of astrocytic pleiotrophin in the ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, unveiled the existence of astrocytic ensembles, specialized astrocyte subsets ... role of this unique class of glial cells in motivation and ...

Reactive astrogliosis, in which astrocytes exhibit altered morphology and an upregulation of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), characterizes many neurological diseases, including epilepsy.

The research focused on reactive astrogliosis, a process involving changes in brain cells called astrocytes. These changes are believed to play a significant role in the progression of Parkinson's ...
