Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have unraveled the processes that give astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell in the brain, their special bushy shape, which is fundamental for brain ...

Researchers say study findings may lead to a more promising future for cell therapy targeting stroke and other neurological disorders.

Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

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.
