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 discovery that could revolutionize ...

A research team has uncovered a new mechanism involving astrocytes for treating Alzheimer's disease (AD) and proposed a novel therapeutic target. AD, a representative form of senile dementia, occurs ...

The adage of astrocytes as doting neuronal nursemaids has been supplanted by the view that astrocytes play a muscular part in the function of the brain. Provoke them, and astrocytes can shift from ...

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 ...

“A big challenge in the field was that anytime you put astrocytes in culture, they were already changing their state,” said neuroscientist Paul Tesar, who studies glial cell function at Case Western ...

A groundbreaking study at Tel Aviv University effectively eradicated glioblastoma, a highly lethal type of brain cancer. The researchers achieved the outcome using a method they developed based on ...

A fundamental goal in neuroscience is to understand how neural circuits are formed, maintained, and reorganized during development and throughout the life of the organism. Our lab is interested in the ...

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 ...
