Parts of a cell budding off and living on their own? Sounds like a horror movie — but it’s actually a newly described feature of astrocytes. And these ‘zombosomes’ may contribute to the spread of Parkinson’s pathology. Worth a read! 🧠🧟

🔬🧠 Fascinating new research: in Alzheimer’s disease, microglia accumulate cancer-associated mutations and start cloning themselves — fueling inflammation and dysfunction. The unexpected overlap between cancer biology and neurodegeneration could open new treatment doors. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

We knew astrocytes use gap junctions for their homeostatic roles — but this new Nature paper shows they go much further, forming plastic 3D networks that connect specific brain regions across the brain. Astrocytes never cease to surprise me🧠 doi.org/10.1038/s415... #Neuroscience #Glia #Astrocytes

Astrocytes connect specific brain regions through plastic networks - Nature

Communication between distant brain regions is mediated by plastic networks of gap junction-coupled astrocytes.

🧠 New in Brain: GABA-A gain-of-function mutations cause epilepsy by over-inhibiting interneurons — collapsing feed-forward inhibition and unleashing excitatory neurons. More inhibition ≠ less seizures.

New #Alzheimers paper: microglial autophagy isn’t just housekeeping — it lets microglia engage amyloid plaques and prevents senescence. 🧠📄 Block autophagy → less plaque engagement, more senescence, worse pathology. Clear senescent microglia → pathology improves.

So you want to be a scientist? Advice to the young from pioneering astrophysicist Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, who discovered that stars were made primarily of hydrogen, illuminating for the first time the chemical composition of the cosmos. 🧪

Quote by Cecilia: Do not undertake a scientific career in quest of fame or money. There are easier and better ways to reach them. Undertake it only if nothing else will satisfy you; for nothing else is probably what you will receive. Your reward will be the widening of the horizon as you climb. And if you achieve that reward you will ask no other.
