Protective Functions of Reactive Astrocytes Following Central Nervous System Insult

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Astrocytes play important roles in numerous central nervous system disorders including autoimmune inflammatory, hypoxic, and degenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, ischemic stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease. Depending on the spatial and temporal

Development of a Prediction Model for Progression Risk in High‐Grade Gliomas Based on Habitat Radiomics and Pathomics

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the value of constructing models based on habitat radiomics and pathomics for predicting the risk of progression in high‐grade gliomas. Methods This study conducted a retrospective analysis of preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images and pathological sections from 72 patients diagnosed with high‐grade gliomas (52 ...

PHLPP1 regulates region-specific astroglial mitochondrial fission in response to oxidative stress in the male rat hippocampus

Scientific Reports
Astrocytes have specialized functions depending on their localization. This region-dependent heterogeneity of astrocytes shows marked difference in astroglial responses to various stimuli.

β-Amyloid peptides induce mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in astrocytes and death of neurons through activation of NADPH oxidase [PDF]

, 2004
β-Amyloid (βA) peptide is strongly implicated in the neurodegeneration underlying Alzheimer's disease, but the mechanisms of neurotoxicity remain controversial. This study establishes a central role for oxidative stress by the activation of NADPH oxidase

The similarity of astrocytes number in dentate gyrus and CA3 subfield of rats hippocampus [PDF]

, 2007
The dentate gyrus is a part of hippocampal formation that it contains granule cells, which project to the pyramidal cells and interneurons of the CA3 subfield of the hippocampus.

Astrocytes: Role and Functions in Brain Pathologies

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Astrocytes are a population of cells with distinctive morphological and functional characteristics that differ within specific areas of the brain. Postnatally, astrocyte progenitors migrate to reach their brain area and related properties.

Characterization of Clinical Phenotype to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Concentrations in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.

Quick Access to Human Astrocytic Software that Drives Neuronal Hardware

Stem Cell Reports, 2018
Astrocytes have important functions in the brain and their deregulation may cause disease. Current ways to derive astrocytes from pluripotent stem cells are labor, time, and resource intensive, but in this issue of Stem Cell Reports, Li et al.

Astrocytes rescue neuronal health after cisplatin treatment through mitochondrial transfer

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2020
Neurodegenerative disorders, including chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment, are associated with neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction. Cisplatin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic, induces neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction in vivo and in vitro ...

Regional microglia are transcriptionally distinct but similarly exacerbate neurodegeneration in a culture model of Parkinson\u27s disease. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Parkinson\u27s disease (PD) is characterized by selective degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN) while neighboring ventral tegmental area (VTA) DA neurons are relatively spared.
