The paper identifies sex-specific regulatory dynamics in adolescent brain development that may contribute to depression vulnerability through hormone-sensitive gene expression and chromatin accessibility patterns.

This study shows optogenetic stimulation of nigral astrocytes reduces motor deficits and dopamine neuron loss in a 6-OHDA model of Parkinson's disease.

This study identifies Hmgb1 in astrocytes as critical for postnatal astrocyte morphogenesis and cerebrovascular maturation, affecting endothelial ultrastructure and neurovascular coupling in adult mice.

The paper identifies two distinct astroglial phenotypes across mouse cortical development and reveals significant sex differences in developmental gene expression patterns.
