astrocytes

[Cell] Using stringent lineage tracing in the mouse brain, investigators showed that the presumed astrocyte-converted neurons were actually endogenous neurons.

[Nature Reviews Cancer] The authors discuss the immune modulatory functions of microglia, monocyte-derived macrophages and astrocytes in brain metastases and glioma.

[International Journal of Developmental Biology] Scientists investigated the neuronal reprogramming capacity of CEND1 and/or Neurogenin-2 (NEUROG2) upon their overexpression on primary human adult cortical astrocytes.

[Fluids and Barriers of the CNS] Investigators applied a novel bioengineering approach to generate human blood-brain barrier organoids by the self-assembly of astrocytes, pericytes and brain endothelial cells with unprecedented throughput and reproducibility using micro patterned hydrogels.

[Scientific Reports] Scientists quantified several major chemical products, such as pyruvate, formate, and acetate, in plasma-activated L-sodium lactate solution by nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.

[Molecular Medicine Reports] Researchers aimed to identify differentially expressed circular RNAs in glioblastoma. Reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression levels of circFLNA.
