Astrocyte endfeet enwrap the entire vascular tree within the central nervous system, where
they perform important functions in regulating the blood-brain barrier (BBB), cerebral blood …

Astrocytes are neural cells of ectodermal, neuroepithelial origin that provide for homeostasis
and defense of the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes are highly heterogeneous in …

Astrocytes are critical for maintaining the homeostasis of the CNS. Increasing evidence
suggests that a number of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, including chronic …

Astrocytes are a large and diverse population of morphologically complex cells that exist
throughout nervous systems of multiple species. Progress over the last two decades has …

Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the mammalian brain, are critical regulators of
brain development and physiology through dynamic and often bidirectional interactions with …

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder afflicting~ 65 million people worldwide. It is caused by
aberrant synchronized firing of populations of neurons primarily due to imbalance between …

Enhanced bursting activity of neurons in the lateral habenula (LHb) is essential in driving
depression-like behaviours, but the cause of this increase has been unknown. Here, using a …

Astrocytes play both physiological and pathological roles in maintaining central nervous
system (CNS) function. Here, we review the varied functions of astrocytes and how these …

Investigating human oligodendrogenesis and the interaction of oligodendrocytes with
neurons and astrocytes would accelerate our understanding of the mechanisms underlying …

Excitotoxicity is a phenomenon that describes the toxic actions of excitatory
neurotransmitters, primarily glutamate, where the exacerbated or prolonged activation of …
