P2X7 receptor-mediated astrocytic atrophy in the hippocampus of mice after status epilepticus

This study investigates the role of P2X7 receptors in astrocytic atrophy following status epilepticus in mice, showing that P2X7R antagonism prevents astrocyte damage.

Astrocyte ezrin defines resilience to stress-induced depressive behaviours in mice

This study shows that increasing ezrin in astrocytes makes mice more resilient to stress-induced depressive behaviors, while decreasing it increases susceptibility.

Electroacupuncture prevents astrocyte atrophy to alleviate depression

This study shows electroacupuncture prevents astrocyte atrophy in mice with depression-like behaviors, suggesting astrocytes as a target for treatment.
