A fall on the head, a blow to the skull, or a road traffic accident—the causes of traumatic brain injury are diverse, but the ...

Increased expression of the Ang‐II (Angiotensin II) precursor AGT in aged astrocytes lead to increased Ang‐II signaling from aged astrocytes to endothelium, thus increasingblood–brain barrier (BBB) ...

The connection between perturbations in BBB barrier function and damage to the astrocyte network and its functions arises from BBB damage, leading to the extravasation of albumin. In the physiological ...

NF-κB activation in astrocytes impairs wound healing after traumatic brain injury in male mice. Nature Communications 17, 2323 (2026).

Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the ...

The blood-brain barrier protects the central nervous system by tightly regulating what crosses between the two compartments. Neurons are vulnerable if the barrier suffers damage or weakens with age, ...
