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 ...

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...
Astrocytes, as vital cells in the central nervous system, are crucial for brain health and function. Recent research shows that they influence higher cognitive functions and behaviors by regulating ...

Astrocytes are no wallflowers. 3 new studies show they’re the real ‘puppet masters of brain’
New Delhi: For a long time, astrocytes, the star-shaped cells in the nervous system, were considered the “wallflowers” of neuroscience, with their role relegated to only supporting and protecting ...
A mature cell of one type can be turned into a mature cell of another type without the cell having to pass through an earlier stage of development. This is called direct reprogramming, a reliable but ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our ...
