Astrocytes are non-neuronal cells that regulate synapses, neuronal circuits, and behavior.
Astrocytes ensheath neuronal synapses to form the tripartite synapse where astrocytes …

Myelin is essential for rapid nerve signaling and is increasingly found to play important roles
in learning and in diverse diseases of the CNS. Morphological parameters of myelin such as …

Astrocytes are present throughout the brain and intimately interact with neurons and blood
vessels. Three decades of research have shown that astrocytes reciprocally communicate …

Studies over the past two decades have demonstrated that astrocytes are tightly associated
with neurons and play pivotal roles in neural circuit development, operation, and adaptation …

Better management of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) requires a
clearer understanding of tumor biology and disease risk. Bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) have …

Second messengers, including cAMP, cGMP and Ca2+ are often placed in an integrating
position to combine the extracellular cues that orient growing axons in the developing brain …

Directed cell migration requires sustained cell polarisation. In migrating cortical
interneurons, nuclear movements are directed towards the centrosome that organises the …

The molecular mechanisms of neural circuit formation have been of interest to Santiago
Ramón y Cajal and thousands of neuroscientists sharing his passion for neural circuits ever …

Starvation causes the accumulation of lipid droplets in the liver, a somewhat counterintuitive
phenomenon that is nevertheless conserved from flies to humans. Much like fatty liver …

Abstract Genetically encoded Ca2+ indicators (GECIs) are versatile for live imaging of
cellular activities. Besides the brightness and dynamic range of signal change of GECIs …
