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 spinal cord cells may hold the key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease
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 engineered a nanowire platform that mimics brain tissue to study astrocytes, the star-shaped cells critical for brain health, for the first time in their natural state. Astrocytes are ...
Recent work has revealed some of the many crucial functions of astrocytes, brain cells that were once thought to play primarily supportive roles for neurons. Astrocytes do handle debris around neurons ...
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 ...
