Even in mice with existing amyloid plaques, one injection of the gene therapy was associated with a roughly 50 percent ...

Researchers engineer CAR-astrocytes to target and remove amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s, showing a 50% reduction in brain waste with a single injection.

The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs—the first proven to change the course of the disease—typically extend ...

A new study reveals that astrocytes, once dismissed as mere support cells, play a central role in fear memory.

Genetically altered astrocytes that express chimeric antigen receptors offer a promising immunotherapy system capable of clearing accumulations of ...

When we learn a new motor skill—whether mastering a piano passage or refining balance while walking—the brain must reorganize ...

Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

Scientists have identified prematurely aged astrocytes in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, particularly those with the APOE4 risk gene. Their findings suggest that cellular senescence in these ...

Researchers found that astrocytes in the amygdala actively encode, maintain, and extinguish fear memories. Altering their activity changed fear responses and neural signaling.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine reveal that astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the brain, play a direct role in the regulation of neuronal circuits involved in learning and memory. The ...
