Astrocytes amplify neurovascular coupling to sustained activation of neocortex in awake mice

Ádám Institóris, Milène Vandal, Govind Peringod, Christy Catalano, Cam Ha T. Tran, Xinzhu Yu, Frank Visser, Cheryl Breiteneder, Leonardo A. Molina, Baljit S. Khakh, Minh Dang Nguyen, Roger J. Thompson, Grant Robert Gordon

The paper shows that astrocyte Ca2+ signaling amplifies sustained functional hyperemia in awake mice, but not brief responses, through distinct mechanisms.

The Alzheimer risk factor CD2AP causes dysfunction of the brain vascular network

Milène Vandal, Ádám Institóris, Ben Korin, Colin Gunn, Suzie Lee, Ji Yeon Lee, Philippe Bourassa, Ramesh C. Mishra, Govind Peringod, Yulan Jiang, Sotaro Hirai, Camille Belzil, Louise Réveret, Cyntia Tremblay, Mada Hashem, , Minh Dang Nguyen

This study shows that CD2AP loss in brain endothelial cells impairs vascular function and memory in AD models, suggesting therapeutic targeting of CD2AP pathways.
