The interaction between microglia and astrocytes significantly influences neuroinflammation.
Microglia/astrocytes, part of the neurovascular unit (NVU), are activated by various brain …

Research on glial cells over the past 30 years has confirmed the critical role of astrocytes in
pathophysiological brain states. However, most of our knowledge about astrocyte …

Understanding the role of astrocytes in the central nervous system has changed dramatically
over the last decade. The accumulating findings indicate that glial cells are involved not only …

Throughout the nervous system, ion gradients drive fundamental processes. Yet, the roles of
interstitial ions in brain functioning is largely forgotten. Emerging literature is now revitalizing …

Glial cells exploit calcium (Ca 2+) signals to perceive the information about the activity of the
nervous tissue and the tissue environment to translate this information into an array of …

Astroglia or astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the brain, are interposed between
neuronal synapses and microvasculature in the brain gray matter. They play a pivotal role in …

Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system (CNS). Once
considered to be of fairly homogeneous phenotype throughout the brain and spinal cord …

Calorie-restricted (CR) diet has multiple beneficial effects on brain function. Here we report
morphological and functional changes in hippocampal astrocytes in 3-months-old mice …

Astrocytes are intimately involved in the response to neurodegenerative stress and have
become an attractive target for the development of neuroprotective therapies. However …

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia. With no reliable
treatment that delays or reverses the progress of AD, effective medical drugs, and …
