Enzyme-Constrained Metabolic Modeling of the Tripartite Synapse Links Astrocyte-Neuron Lactate Shuttle to Lipid Trafficking and Redox Homeostasis

Samuel Hayford Ayensu, Dan Hideki Horimoto, Carlos C. Flores…·Wheaton L. Schroeder

This paper develops an enzyme-constrained metabolic model of the tripartite synapse to show that lactate shuttling between astrocytes and neurons arises from protein limitations and that FABP7 is critical for lipid-redox homeostasis.

The astrocyte Fabp7 gene regulates diurnal seizure threshold and activity-dependent gene expression in mice

Micah Lefton, Carlos C. Flores, Yuji Owada…·Jason R. Gerstner

This study shows that Fabp7 in astrocytes affects seizure thresholds and gene expression in mice, with effects dependent on time-of-day.
