Once neuron sidekicks, astrocytes now seen as the real brain bosses
For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Why do some people remain healthy through childhood yet become more vulnerable to brain disorders such as dementia later in life? A KAIST-led team has uncovered a key part of the answer: a ...
In a recent review published in Experimental & Molecular Medicine, researchers reviewed existing data on the neurodegenerative effects of astrocyte-derived lipocalin-2 (LCN-2). Study: Lipocalin-2: a ...
Researchers report that neuronal activity is necessary and sufficient for astrocytes to develop their complex shape, and interrupting this developmental process results in disrupted brain function.
