Targeting the noradrenergic‐metabolic axis: A new strategy for sugar‐induced depression subtypes

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Lifestyle is closely related to major depressive disorder (MDD). Given the growing focus on the impact of diet on mental health, this study examined how dietary habits affect the pathophysiology of MDD. Experimental Approach Health check‐up data were analysed. Mice received sucrose under chronic unpredictable mild stress

Immediate cortical glial alterations following spinal cord injury: Evidence from a novel in vitro model

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers immediate and widespread pathophysiological changes not only at the site of impact but also beyond it, including alterations in remote cortical regions. Here, we report early astrocytic changes in the cerebral cortex following SCI at birth, identified using two specific glial markers in an innovative in vitro ...

Development of Retinal Astroglia

Annual Review of Vision Science
Müller cells and retinal nerve fiber layer astrocytes are the major astroglia of the mammalian retina. They have numerous important functions in adulthood for maintaining neuronal homeostasis as well as in developing retina, where they facilitate key events in the assembly of the retinal tissue.

Astrocytes as central integrators of neural circuit function: Mechanisms and dysregulation in neuropsychiatric disorders

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
1. Astrocytes are central integrators of neural circuit function through tripartite synapse modulation and neurovascular coupling. 2. Dysregulation of glutamate/GABA homeostasis and neuroinflammation represents shared mechanisms across diverse neuropsychiatric disorders. 3.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Astroglia in dementia and Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

Cell Death & Differentiation, 2008
Astrocytes, the most numerous cells in the brain, weave the canvas of the grey matter and act as the main element of the homoeostatic system of the brain. They shape the microarchitecture of the brain, form neuronal-glial-vascular units, regulate the blood-brain barrier, control microenvironment of the central nervous system and defend nervous system ...

Nationwide Survey of Atopic Myelitis and Plexin D1‐Immunoglobulin G‐Related Pain

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 593-606, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To elucidate the features of plexin D1‐immunoglobulin (Ig)G‐associated neuropathic pain and its relationship to atopic myelitis (AM) in a nationwide Japanese survey. Methods A preliminary survey questionnaire was sent to 1574 selected departments (neurology and pediatrics/pediatric neurology) to explore the numbers of AM and plexin ...

R-Spondin 1 Suppresses Inflammatory Cytokine Production in Human Cortical Astrocytes

Neuroglia
Background/Objectives: Wnt signaling pathways are essential in various biological processes, including embryonic development and tissue homeostasis, and are implicated in many diseases. The R-Spondin (RSpo) family, particularly RSpo1, plays a significant

Reduced density of glutamine synthetase immunoreactive astrocytes in different cortical areas in major depression but not in bipolar I disorder

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
There is increasing evidence for disturbances within the glutamate system in patients with affective disorders, which involve disruptions of the glutamate-glutamine- cycle.

AQP-4 and its role in maintaining the hydric balance in the brain [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Neurology, 2017
Aquaporins are a vast family of channel proteins whose main role is the bidirectional transport, depending on the osmotic gradient, of water across the lipid membranes, which have low permeability for this solvent. The aquaporins are also involved in the
