Response of Astrocyte Subpopulations Following Spinal Cord Injury

Cells, 2022
There is growing appreciation for astrocyte heterogeneity both across and within central nervous system (CNS) regions, as well as between intact and diseased states. Recent work identified multiple astrocyte subpopulations in mature brain. Interestingly,

Gene Enrichment Analysis of Astrocyte Subtypes in Psychiatric Disorders and Psychotropic Medication Datasets

Cells, 2022
Astrocytes have many important functions in the brain, but their roles in psychiatric disorders and their responses to psychotropic medications are still being elucidated.

The gut microbiome regulates astrocyte reaction to Aβ amyloidosis through microglial dependent and independent mechanisms

Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2023
Background Previous studies show that antibiotic-mediated (abx) alteration of the gut microbiome (GMB) results in a reduction of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and proinflammatory microglial phenotype in male APPPS1-21 mice.

Astrocyte Endfeet in Brain Function and Pathology: Open Questions.

Annual 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.

Adenosine-independent regulation of the sleep–wake cycle by astrocyte activity

Cell Discovery, 2023
Astrocytes play a crucial role in regulating sleep–wake behavior, and adenosine signaling is generally thought to be involved. Here we show multiple lines of evidence supporting that modulation of the sleep–wake behavior by astrocyte Ca2+ activity could ...

Disruption of the astrocyte–neuron interaction is responsible for the impairments in learning and memory in 5XFAD mice: an Alzheimer’s disease animal model

Molecular Brain, 2021
The morphological dynamics of astrocytes are altered in the hippocampus during memory induction. Astrocyte–neuron interactions on synapses are called tripartite synapses. These control the synaptic function in the central nervous system.

Dynamic Transitions in Neuronal Network Firing Sustained by Abnormal Astrocyte Feedback

Neural Plasticity, 2020
Astrocytes play a crucial role in neuronal firing activity. Their abnormal state may lead to the pathological transition of neuronal firing patterns and even induce seizures.

Glutamate mediated astrocytic filtering of neuronal activity. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2014
Neuron-astrocyte communication is an important regulatory mechanism in various brain functions but its complexity and role are yet to be fully understood.

NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD–mediated pyroptosis exerts a crucial role in astrocyte pathological injury in mouse model of depression

JCI Insight, 2021
Emerging evidence suggests that astrocyte loss is one of the most important pathological features in the hippocampus of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and depressive mice.
