The Octopus Analogy: A New Model for Memory Lead researcher Leo Kozachkov compares astrocytes to an octopus: the cell body is the “head,” and its many processes independently sense and affect ...

Glial cells play an important role in supporting the body's central and peripheral nervous systems. Several types, each with different functions, of glial cells exist. Learn more here.

Astrocyte has begun dosing athletes in its Phase 2 STARFAST trial, a first-of-its-kind study taking place in Adelaide, Australia, with players from the Adelaide Football League. Male and female ...

A new machine learning model shows that star-shaped brain cells may be responsible for the brain's memory capacity, and someday, it could inspire advances in AI and Alzheimer's research.

Within astrocytes, a significant role for neuroligin 2 in determining excitatory synapse formation and astrocyte morphology was shown in 2017. However, there has been no assessment of what happens to ...

The development of the GVU is a complex process involving multiple steps and intricate interactions among astrocytes, neural cells, and vascular components. In this review, we aim to summarize the ...
