Death and the Construction of an Astrocyte Network
(2019)Naturally-occurring cell death is a fundamental developmental mechanism for regulating cell numbers and sculpting developing organs. This is particularly true in the central nervous system, where large numbers of neurons ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Synaptic Assembly by Cortical Astrocytes
(2017)The brain, the source of human cognition, is composed of numerous cell types and a staggering number (over 1 quadrillion) of specialized connections called synapses. Each central nervous system (CNS) synapse is a complex ... -
Molecular mechanisms underlying retinal astrocyte death during development
(2023)Developmental cell death is essential for nervous system development, sculpting the developing tissue by controlling cell numbers. While developmental neuron death has been studied extensively, the most abundant cell type ... -
PBDE Metabolism and Effects on Thyroid Hormone Regulation in Human Astrocytes
(2014)Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants are ubiquitous contaminants in the environment due to their heavy usage in plastics, foam, and textiles to comply with flammability standards from the 1970s through the ... -
The AIM2 Inflammasome Is Activated In Astrocytes During EAE
(2021)The inflammasomes are a group of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) with unique characteristics and critical to innate immunity by translating microbial and damage signals into inflammation. While early investigation into ...
