Astrocytic Neuroligins Control Astrocyte Morphogenesis and Synaptogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2017
Astrocytes are complex glial cells with numerous fine cellular processes that infiltrate the neuropil and interact with synapses. The mechanisms that control the establishment of astrocyte morphology are unknown, and it is unclear whether impairing ...

Exocytosis in Astrocytes [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Until recently, astrocytes were thought to be a part of a simple “brain glue” providing only a supporting role for neurons. However, the discoveries of the last two decades have proven astrocytes to be dynamic partners participating in brain metabolism and actively influencing communication between neurons.

Astrocytes in Tauopathies [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the progressive accumulation across the brain of hyperphosphorylated aggregates of the microtubule-associated protein tau that vary in isoform composition, structural conformation and localization.

Molecular basis of astrocyte diversity and morphology across the CNS in health and disease

open access: yesScience, 2022
Astrocytes, a type of glia, are abundant and morphologically complex cells. Here, we report astrocyte molecular profiles, diversity, and morphology across the mouse central nervous system (CNS).

Astrocytes in schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesBrain and Neuroscience Advances, 2021
Schizophrenia is a severe and clinically heterogenous mental disorder affecting approximately 1% of the population worldwide. Despite tremendous achievements in the field of schizophrenia research, its precise aetiology remains elusive. Besides dysfunctional neuronal signalling, the pathophysiology of schizophrenia appears to involve molecular and ...

Astrocytes and Epilepsy [PDF]

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics, 2010
Astrocytes form a significant constituent of seizure foci in the human brain. For a long time it was believed that astrocytes play a significant role in the causation of seizures. With the increase in our understanding of the unique biology of these cells, their precise role in seizure foci is receiving renewed attention.

Astrocytes and Aging [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018
By 2050, the aging population is predicted to expand by over 100%. Considering this rapid growth, and the additional strain it will place on healthcare resources because of age-related impairments, it is vital that researchers gain a deeper understanding of the cellular interactions that occur with normal aging.

The Synucleins and the Astrocyte

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Synucleins consist of three proteins exclusively expressed in vertebrates. α-Synuclein (αS) has been identified as the main proteinaceous aggregate in Lewy bodies, a pathological hallmark of many neurodegenerative diseases. Less is understood about β-synuclein (βS) and γ-synuclein (γS), although it is known βS can interact with αS in vivo to inhibit ...

Astrocyte Endfeet in Brain Function and Pathology: Open Questions.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Neuroscience, 2022
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 flow, nutrient uptake, and waste clearance.
