Astrocyte endfeet enwrap the entire vascular tree within the central nervous system, where
they perform important functions in regulating the blood-brain barrier (BBB), cerebral blood …

Neuronal networks are capable of undergoing rapid structural and functional changes called
plasticity, which are essential for shaping circuit function during nervous system …

The functional and molecular similarities and distinctions between human and murine
astrocytes are poorly understood. Here, we report the development of an immunopanning …

Astrocytes are no longer seen as a homogenous population of cells. In fact, recent studies
indicate that astrocytes are morphologically and functionally diverse and play critical roles in …

Astrocytes play a crucial role in regulating sleep–wake behavior, and adenosine signaling is
generally thought to be involved. Here we show multiple lines of evidence supporting that …

Astrocytes have many roles within the brain parenchyma, and a subpopulation restricted to
germinal niches functions as neural stem cells (NSCs) that produce various types of …

Astrocytes are the predominant cell type in the brain and perform key functions vital to CNS
physiology, including blood brain barrier formation and maintenance, synaptogenesis …

The central nervous system (CNS) is vascularized by a dense capillary network that is
critical to deliver oxygen and nutrients, and remove carbon dioxide and waste products, from …

Astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the central nervous system, promote synapse
formation and help to refine neural connectivity. Although they are allocated to spatially …

Neurovascular coupling is a crucial mechanism that matches the high energy demand of the
brain with a supply of energy substrates from the blood. Signaling within the neurovascular …
