Sex-Dependent Modulation of Emotional and Cognitive Processes by Prefrontal CB1 Receptors

This study investigates how CB1 receptor deletion in prefrontal GABAergic neurons affects emotional and cognitive processes differently in male and female mice.

Astrocytic morphology in the Medial Habenula: sex differences and modulatory factors

This study examines sex-dependent astrocytic morphology in the medial habenula and its modulation by metabolic and inflammatory factors.

Astrocyte CB1 receptors drive blood-brain barrier disruption in CNS inflammatory disease

This study shows that astrocyte CB1R signaling promotes inflammation in MS by disrupting the blood-brain barrier and reducing BBB function.

NEUROGLIAL CB1 RECEPTORS CONTROL NAVIGATION STRATEGIES

This study shows that CB1 receptors in neurons and astrocytes differentially affect spatial navigation and memory in male and female mice.

Functional differentiation of Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells into neuron-like cells exhibiting electrophysiological activity

This study shows that human dental pulp stem cells can be differentiated into neuron-like cells with electrophysiological activity, highlighting the importance of serum-free culture protocols.

Autoimmune inflammation triggers aberrant astrocytic calcium signaling to impair synaptic plasticity

This study identifies aberrant astrocytic calcium signaling in MS models as a contributor to synaptic plasticity impairment and gray matter pathology.

SPATIAL ORGANIZATION OF NEURON-ASTROCYTE INTERACTIONS IN THE SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX

The paper reveals column- and layer-specific astrocyte-mediated non-synaptic communication between cortical neurons through CB1R activation and ATP/adenosine release.
