Imaging calcium microdomains within entire astrocyte territories and endfeet with GCaMPs expressed using adeno-associated viruses. [PDF]
Intracellular Ca(2+) transients are considered a primary signal by which astrocytes interact with neurons and blood vessels. With existing commonly used methods, Ca(2+) has been studied only within astrocyte somata and thick branches, leaving the distal ...

Inhibition of cAMP/PKA Pathway Protects Optic Nerve Head Astrocytes against Oxidative Stress by Akt/Bax Phosphorylation-Mediated Mfn1/2 Oligomerization. [PDF]
Glaucoma is characterized by a progressive optic nerve degeneration and retinal ganglion cell loss, but the underlying biological basis for the accompanying neurodegeneration is not known.

Astrocyte aquaporin mediates a tonic water efflux maintaining brain homeostasis
Brain water homeostasis not only provides a physical protection, but also determines the diffusion of chemical molecules key for information processing and metabolic stability. As a major type of glia in brain parenchyma, astrocytes are the dominant cell

Firing rate model for brain rhythms controlled by astrocytes [PDF]
We propose a new mean-field model of brain rhythms governed by astrocytes. This theoretical framework describes how astrocytes can regulate neuronal activity and contribute to the generation of brain rhythms. The model describes at the population level the interactions between two large groups of excitatory and inhibitory neurons.
