Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...
Researchers at the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a two-step mechanism by which the brain regulates blood volume—a breakthrough ...
Scientists have uncovered the first evidence that astrocyte receptors can trigger opposite effects on cognitive function in male and female preclinical models. The findings point to astrocytes, brain ...
A project led by Johns Hopkins University has successfully imaged astrocytes, the brain's most abundant cells, in their natural state. The star-shaped astrocytes are known to be responsible for ...
