This study shows that APOE 4/4 genotype leads to dysfunctional and inflammatory astrocytes with impaired maturation and altered glutamate/Aβ handling in hiPSC-derived cultures.

The paper identifies a spatial threshold for astrocyte calcium signal propagation in mice, which determines gliotransmitter release and synaptic modulation.

This study identifies Foxo1 as a key regulator of astrocytic calcium signaling in the hippocampus, influencing spinogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and fear memory.

This study shows that TLR4-pathway activation in astrocytes after TBI leads to synaptic loss and BBB damage, which can be mitigated by TLR4 inhibition.

This study shows that insulin receptors in astrocytes are necessary for brain uptake of circulating insulin and glucose.
