Astrocytes play crucial roles in regulating brain circuit formation and physiology. Recent
technological advances have revealed unprecedented levels of astrocyte diversity …

Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cell type in the central nervous system and are
essential to the development, plasticity, and maintenance of neural circuits. Astrocytes are …

The cognitive abilities of humans are distinctive among primates, but their molecular and
cellular substrates are poorly understood. We used comparative single-nucleus …

Astrocytes play an integral role in the development, maturation, and refinement of neuronal
circuits. Astrocytes secrete proteins and lipids that instruct the formation of new synapses …

Astrocytes are increasingly gaining attention as a major player in regulating brain functions.
Not only are astrocytes important for their supporting roles in maintaining optimal neuronal …

A tripartite synapse comprises a neuronal presynaptic axon and a postsynaptic dendrite,
which are closely ensheathed by a perisynaptic astrocyte process. Through their structural …

Bidirectional communication between astrocytes and neurons is essential for proper brain
development. Astrocytes, a major glial cell type, are morphologically complex cells that …

Non-invasive brain stimulation therapy for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has shown
beneficial effects. Recently, we and others demonstrated that visual sensory stimulation …

Alexander disease (AxD) is an intractable neurodegenerative disorder caused by GFAP
mutations. It is a primary astrocyte disease with a pathological hallmark of Rosenthal fibres …

Astrocytes have countless links with neurons. Previously, astrocytes were only considered a
scaffold of neurons; in fact, astrocytes perform a variety of functions, including providing …
