Astrocytes: The Unsung Architects of Synaptic Integration and Their Role in Brain Health and Disease

Biomolecules
Astrocytes, long viewed as passive support cells, are now recognized as dynamic regulators of synaptic function. This mini review summarizes recent findings revealing that astrocyte leaflets, thin peripheral processes of astrocyte, form gap junction ...

Bubble Formation Control: Fabrication of Centimeter‐Sized Tissue‐Like Constructs by Catalase‐Coated Oxygen‐Releasing Hydrogel

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Oxygen‐releasing hydrogels are widely used to support cell survival in 3D cultures and to promote wound healing. However, incorporating catalase to convert H2O2 into O2 often generates additional oxygen bubbles, leading to material instability which rarely addressed.

Developing a Functional Polyelectrolyte Hybrid Layer Scaffold Coating and Evaluation of Its Performance for Interaction With Neural Cells

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Polyelectrolyte scaffold coatings modified with Cu and Fe3O4 nanoparticles regulate neural stem cell behavior in vitro. Increased Fe3O4 content enhances mitochondrial activity and neuronal differentiation, whereas higher Cu levels reduce cell viability.

Astrocytes as central integrators of neural circuit function: Mechanisms and dysregulation in neuropsychiatric disorders

Clinical and Translational Discovery
Background Astrocytes, far beyond passive support cells, are critical regulators in brain homeostasis, intricately regulating synaptic plasticity, neurovascular integrity, metabolic support, and neuroimmune communication.

Temporal and Cell‐Specific Regulation of Synaptic Homeostasis by the Chromatin Remodeler Chd1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chd1, the Drosophila homologue of mammalian CHD2 ‐ a gene linked to autism, epilepsy, and intellectual disability, is required for synaptic homeostatic plasticity. Chd1 in glia is necessary for the rapid induction of synaptic homeostasis, whereas Chd1 in motoneurons, muscle, and glia is critical for long‐term maintenance.

Sox9 regulation of hexokinase 1 controls neuroinflammatory astrocyte subtypes in a rat model of neuropathic pain

Nature Communications
Neuropathic pain, caused by nerve damage, lacks effective treatments. Astrocytes drive chronic neuroinflammation in the dorsal horn, but directly targeting them is challenging due to their heterogeneity and beneficial roles. The regulation of deleterious

The Uppsala APP Mutation Promotes Wild‐Type Amyloid‐β Aggregation and Deposition In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigated in vivo cross‐seeding of amyloid‐β (Aβ) isoforms in transgenic mice co‐expressing wild‐typeAβ and the Uppsala‐mutant Aβ variant (AβUpp), lacking six central residues. Weleveraged MALDI‐MS imaging and hyperspectral microscopy to follow spatio‐temporalAβ deposition.

Astrocyte diversity and subtypes: aligning transcriptomics with multimodal perspectives

EMBO Reports
Astrocytes are considered a diverse cell population, carrying out many functions essential for supporting neuronal activity. The surge of sc/snRNA-sequencing data greatly expands our understanding of heterogeneous astrocyte gene expression, but also ...

Targeting the PDK1/c‐Myc/SOX10 Signaling in Oligodendrocytes Alleviates Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reveals that oligodendrocyte homeostasis, mediated by PDK1, is a critical determinant of neuropathic pain (NPP) pathogenesis. Disruption of PDK1 in oligodendrocytes impairs SOX10‐dependent myelination programs through c‐Myc accumulation, leading to disrupted myelination and the pathophysiology of NPP.

Enhanced Glycolysis‐Driven Histone H3K18 Lactylation Regulates Epileptogenesis by Modulating the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase COP1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neuronal PKM2‐driven glycolysis generates excess lactate that triggers histone H3K18 lactylation (H3K18la), establishing a pathogenic metabolic‐epigenetic axis in epilepsy. Elevated H3K18la enriches the Cop1 promoter, transcriptionally upregulating the E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1, which subsequently drives proteasomal degradation of GABAARβ2 and impairs ...
