This study examines aging-related changes in glutamate transporter expression and function in astrocytes from different regions of the rat spinal cord, finding reduced transporter expression and impaired glutamate uptake in the ventral horns.

This study identifies increased chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) in the hippocampus and amygdala as a cause of infection-induced epilepsy, showing their role in neuronal hyperexcitability and potential as a therapeutic target.

The paper shows pericytes communicate with endothelial cells during vasculogenesis via Cx43 gap junctions, using mouse embryonic stem cells and live imaging.
