The paper identifies a novel mechanism by which ependymocytes regulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow from the central nervous system to peripheral organs via the periaxonal pathway, mediated by serotonin signaling and F-actin polymerization.

This study investigates the impact of iron from metal implants on neural cells, finding that iron accumulation affects neuronal function and may increase neurodegeneration risk.

This study investigates how iron ions affect calcium signaling in astrocytes through DMT1 and TFR, revealing mechanisms of neuroprotection against iron overload.

This study shows chronic sleep deprivation reduces astrocytic 5-HT2B receptors via P2X7 receptors, leading to depressive-like behaviors through increased arachidonic acid and PGE2 release.

This study shows that fluoxetine alleviates alcohol addiction by reducing RNA editing of 5-HT2C receptors in astrocytes, thereby increasing ATP release and improving behavioral symptoms.
