Radial glia at the neurovascular interface during cortical development [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Radial glia are a specialized population of neural progenitor cells that persist throughout embryogenesis and into adulthood. Throughout this period, radial glia reside in a highly dynamic microenvironment that influences various biological decisions ...

Meningeal lymphatic drainage promotes T cell responses against Toxoplasma gondii but is dispensable for parasite control in the brain

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels that drain the CNS has prompted new insights into how immune responses develop in the brain. In this study, we examined how T cell responses against CNS-derived antigen develop in the context of infection.

Early Age- and Sex-Dependent Regulation of Astrocyte-Mediated Glutamatergic Synapse Elimination in the Rat Prefrontal Cortex: Establishing an Organotypic Brain Slice Culture Investigating Tool

open access: yesCells, 2023
Clinical and pre-clinical studies of neuropsychiatric (NP) disorders show altered astrocyte properties and synaptic networks. These are refined during early postnatal developmental (PND) stages.

An open-source tool for automated analysis of breathing behaviors in common marmosets and rodents

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The respiratory system maintains homeostatic levels of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the body through rapid and efficient regulation of breathing frequency and depth (tidal volume).

Evidence for oligodendrocyte progenitor cell heterogeneity in the adult mouse brain

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) account for approximately 5% of the adult brain and have been historically studied for their role in myelination.

Astrocyte plasticity in mice ensures continued endfoot coverage of cerebral blood vessels following injury and declines with age

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Disruption of the blood brain barrier can occur in several diseases. Here the authors show that targeted ablation of astrocytes results in a plasticity mechanism in nearby cells to maintain cerebrovascular coverage, but that this mechanism is impaired in

Clever glia [PDF]

open access: yesStem Cell Research & Therapy, 2013
Twenty years ago glial cells were shown to contribute to neuronal information processing, instead of merely supporting neuronal function, thus challenging the century old neuron doctrine. Due to the lack of appropriate experimental models, however, determining the role of glia in higher brain function and disease has been hampered.

Aquaporins and Glia [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Neuropharmacology, 2010
Glial cells coordinate the differentiation, metabolism, and excitability of neurons; they modulate synaptic transmission and integrate signals emanating from neurons and other glial cells. Several evidences underlying the relation between these pathways and the regulatory mechanisms of ion concentration, supporting the role of Aquaporins (AQPs) in ...

Peripheral glia diversity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, 2021
AbstractRecent years have seen an evolving appreciation for the role of glial cells in the nervous system. As we move away from the typical neurocentric view of neuroscience, the complexity and variability of central nervous system glia is emerging, far beyond the three main subtypes: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia.

Meningeal lymphatic dysfunction exacerbates traumatic brain injury pathogenesis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious and poorly understood medical condition. Here, the authors show that TBI induces long-lasting deficits in brain lymphatic drainage.
