Varicose-projection astrocytes: a reactive phenotype associated with neuropathology Glial cells are fundamental for the pathophysiology of all neurological disorders. Astrocytes, the primary homeostatic cells of the central nervous system (CNS), exhibit species-specific characteristi...

🚨The first #preprint of the #FalconeLab is OUT!🥹🚨

We found that varicose-projection astrocytes are not a physiological type of #astrocytes but they are rather associated with neuropathology.

Astrocyte heterogeneity reveals region-specific astrogenesis in the white matter - Nature Neuroscience White matter (WM) astrocytes differ significantly from gray matter astrocytes, with WM astrocytes in the forebrain exhibiting unique proliferation capacity, which is absent in cerebellar WM, suggestin...

🚀 Think all white matter (WM) astrocytes are the same? Think again! 🌟 Our latest research reveals striking regional differences that challenge existing views on astrocyte diversity and function. 🧠

Incomplete remyelination via therapeutically enhanced oligodendrogenesis is sufficient to recover visual cortical function - Nature Communications Remyelination can restore neural function. Here, the authors characterize the drivers and limits of endogenous remyelination and explore a therapy that rescued remyelination deficits and accelerated n...
