Diversity of Reactive Astrogliosis in CNS Pathology: Heterogeneity or Plasticity?

Astrocytes are essential for the development and homeostatic maintenance of the central nervous system (CNS). They are also critical players in the CNS injury response during which they undergo a process referred to as "reactive astrogliosis." Diversity in ...

A secreted factor NimrodB4 promotes the elimination of apoptotic corpses by phagocytes in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Samuel Rommelaere, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Bianca Marie Petrignani, Florent François Masson

Programmed cell death plays a fundamental role in development and tissue homeostasis. Professional and non-professional phagocytes achieve the proper recognition, uptake, and degradation of apoptotic cells, a process called efferocytosis. Failure in effero ...

Long term effects of peripubertal stress on excitatory and inhibitory circuits in the prefrontal cortex of male and female mice

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

The impact of stressful events is especially important during early life, because certain cortical regions, especially the prefrontal cortex (PFC), are still developing. Consequently, aversive experiences that occur during the peripubertal period can cause ...

Target cell-type specificity of a cortico-amygdala long range synaptic connection

Ayah Khubieh

An important function of the brain is to analyze sensory information, and to modulate animal behaviour according to previous experience. During processes of emotional learning, sensory percepts with a reinforcing quality, also called unconditioned stimuli ...

The angiopoietin-Tie2 pathway regulates Purkinje cell dendritic morphogenesis in a cell-autonomous manner

Michele De Palma

Neuro-vascular communication is essential to synchronize central nervous system development. Here, we identify angiopoietin/Tie2 as a neuro-vascular signaling axis involved in regulating dendritic morphogenesis of Purkinje cells (PCs). We show that in the ...

Dysfunction of homeostatic control of dopamine by astrocytes in the developing prefrontal cortex leads to cognitive impairments

Nicole Déglon, Graham Knott, Corrado Cali, Tamara Zehnder, Andrea Chicca, Luca Pucci

Astrocytes orchestrate neural development by powerfully coordinating synapse formation and function and, as such, may be critically involved in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental abnormalities and cognitive deficits commonly observed in psychiatric dis ...

A community-based transcriptomics classification and nomenclature of neocortical cell types

Jean Rossier, Parviz Ghaderi

To understand the function of cortical circuits, it is necessary to catalog their cellular diversity. Past attempts to do so using anatomical, physiological or molecular features of cortical cells have not resulted in a unified taxonomy of neuronal or glia ...

Optical phase contrast imaging of human retinal cells by changing the tissue refractive index

Christophe Moser, Mathieu Künzi, Timothé Laforest, Laura Emmanuelle Kowalczuk

Purpose : Based on oblique partially coherent illumination of transparent samples, we developed a simple custom Optical Phase Imaging (OPI) microscope providing a label-free, semi-quantitative phase contrast imaging. The aim of this study was to explore th ...

Lactate enhancing compounds and uses thereof

Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Pierre Magistretti, Charles Léonard Finsterwald

Abstract of the invention: The present invention relates to new agents useful for stimulating release of lactate by astrocytes. The invention further relates to methods of preparation, formulations and therapeutic uses of those agents, notably for the prev ...

Excitatory/inhibitory neuronal metabolic balance in mouse hippocampus upon infusion of [U-C-13(6)]glucose

Bernard Lanz, Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Carole Poitry-Yamate, Guillaume Donati, Antoine Timothée Cherix, Blanca Lizarbe Serra

Hippocampus plays a critical role in linking brain energetics and behavior typically associated to stress exposure. In this study, we aimed to simultaneously assess excitatory and inhibitory neuronal metabolism in mouse hippocampus in vivo by applying (18) ...

Impairment of Glycolysis-Derived L-Serine Production in Astrocytes Contributes to Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease

Graham Knott

Alteration of brain aerobic glycolysis is often observed early in the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whether and how such metabolic dysregulation contributes to both synaptic plasticity and behavioral deficits in AD is not known. Here, we show that th ...
