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 ...

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.

Neuron-Astrocyte Associative Memory [PDF]
Astrocytes, the most abundant type of glial cell, play a fundamental role in memory. Despite most hippocampal synapses being contacted by an astrocyte, there are no current theories that explain how neurons, synapses, and astrocytes might collectively contribute to memory function.

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.

A Neural-Astrocytic Network Architecture: Astrocytic calcium waves modulate synchronous neuronal activity [PDF]
Understanding the role of astrocytes in brain computation is a nascent challenge, promising immense rewards, in terms of new neurobiological knowledge that can be translated into artificial intelligence. In our ongoing effort to identify principles endow-ing the astrocyte with unique functions in brain computation, and translate them into neural ...

Ambient but not local lactate underlies neuronal tolerance to prolonged glucose deprivation [PDF]
Neurons require a nearly constant supply of ATP. Glucose is the predominant source of brain ATP, but the direct effects of prolonged glucose deprivation on neuronal viability and function remain unclear.

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 ...
