Astrocytes display diverse molecular and functional features in the brain, but the developmental origins of this heterogeneity are not well understood. Here, the authors show that two separate progeni...

A new study has pinpointed cells in the brains of mice that have the unique ability to proliferate and may help to repair damaged tissue. Scientists now need to determine if similar cells exist in hum...

White matter (WM) astrocytes differ significantly from gray matter astrocytes, with WM astrocytes in the forebrain exhibiting unique proliferation capacity, which is absent in cerebellar WM, suggestin...
