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

The cells amplify oxytocin—and may be responsible for sex differences in social behavior, two preprints find.

Italian Glia Network (IGN) was founded in 2023 by a group of passionate scientists dedicated to glia research. IGN has the MISSION of creating a community of scientists interested in glial biology. IG...

"I know that I am making the right decision because whenever I think about changing my gender role, I am flooded with feelings of relief."

“My ideas matter more than how I sound,” this postdoc writes

Hasel et al. show that molecularly and morphologically specialized astrocytes make up the brain and spinal cord surface, thereby creating the glia limitans superficialis. These astrocytes selectively ...

Recent studies suggest that biomolecular condensates — membrane-less assemblies of proteins and nucleic acids — are involved in regulating gene expression to ensure proper immune cell development. Thi...

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology - This Roadmap article discusses recent advances in the production and use of brain organoids to understand brain development and associated disorders. The...

Lipids are crucial in mediating microglial metabolism and function. The microglial lipidome is vast and complex, with over 10,000 lipid species. We discuss key lipid classes and their roles in m...
