The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.

However, it has so far not been known how local changes in ion concentration affect individual neurons and glial cells. Previous attempts to change the extracellular milieu have primarily involved ...

Zhang studies astrocytes because they are the most common glial cell in the brain and because they are neurons’ next of kin. “During development, neural stem cells generate neurons first and later go ...
