An efficient platform for astrocyte differentiation from human induced pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
Summary: Growing evidence implicates the importance of glia, particularly astrocytes, in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Here, we describe a rapid and robust method for the differentiation of highly pure populations of replicative astrocytes from ...

Novel cell separation method for molecular analysis of neuron-astrocyte cocultures
Over the last decade, the importance of astrocyte-neuron communication in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity has become increasingly clear. Since neuron-astrocyte interactions represent highly dynamic and reciprocal processes, we hypothesized ...

Ammonia toxicity: from head to toe? [PDF]
Ammonia is diffused and transported across all plasma membranes. This entails that hyperammonemia leads to an increase in ammonia in all organs and tissues.

CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β expression is increased in the brain during HIV-1-infection and contributes to regulation of astrocyte tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) associated with infection and activation of mononuclear phagocytes (MP) in the brain, occur late in disease. Infected/activated MP initiate neuroinflammation activating glial

Effects of 660-nm LED photobiomodulation on drebrin expression pattern and astrocyte migration
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a therapeutic tool that uses red or near-infrared light in medical applications. It’s applications in both central (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) are widely studied.

Specific Preferences in Lineage Choice and Phenotypic Plasticity of Glioma Stem Cells Under BMP4 and Noggin Influence [PDF]
Although BMP4-induced differentiation of glioma stem cells (GSCs) is well recognized, details of the cellular responses triggered by this morphogen are still poorly defined.

Biological and prognostic insights into the prostaglandin D2 signaling axis in lung adenocarcinoma
BackgroundTumor metabolism reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, but metabolite-mediated intercellular communication remains poorly understood. To address this gap, we estimated and explored communication events exploring based on single‐cell RNA data ...

Non-aggregated Aβ25-35 Upregulates Primary Astrocyte Proliferation In Vitro
Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a peptide cleaved from amyloid precursor protein that contributes to the formation of senile plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The relationship between Aβ and astrocyte proliferation in AD remains controversial.

Self-determination theory applied to Dark Souls: fostering motivation in video game communities
Background: Video games have emerged as a significant field of study in psychology, particularly in understanding human motivation. Self-Determination Theory (SDT) posits that human motivation is driven by three basic psychological needs: autonomy ...
