Neuroscientists can now make precise genetic tweaks to the neurons that are most affected by brain diseases such as Parkinson ...

Columbia scientists have found that boosting the performance of a self-cleansing system in the brain helps flush amyloid and tau toxins from the brains of mice and improves the animals' cognition.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Astrocytes, previously considered mainly supportive, may significantly enhance the brain's memory storage by mediating complex interactions among neurons ...

This study, carried out on animal models with the disease, describes for the first time the decisive role of the RTP801 protein in cells known as astrocytes during the progression of this ...

The brain also contains billions of astrocytes - star-shaped cells with many long extensions that allow them to interact with millions of neurons. Although they have long been thought to be mainly ...

Q: How would you summarize your study for a lay audience? Our study investigated the role of astrocytes, an abundant cell type in the brain, in regulating an immune response against glioblastoma ...

We will begin by highlighting a subset of the many cellular functions of astrocytes, focusing specifically on those functions that have the most relevance to neurodegeneration (Figure 1).

The Cicero location will be a takeout-and-delivery only restaurant that will feature chicken and other items, including fish, shrimp, pulled pork, ribs and versions of (garbage) plates.
