  1. To capture this local heterogeneity, the authors developed a #multiphoton #FLIM approach with the Na⁺ indicator ING-2 and #astrocyte labeling, enabling quantitative Na⁺ measurements in individual #astrocytes and their processes. This is important because astrocytic Na⁺ is not just a bulk somatic variable. It varies locally across branches and subdomains, where K⁺ uptake and #glutamate-linked Na⁺ influx are regulated.

  6. 🧠🎨 New paper by Meyer et al: #astrocytic #sodium #homeostasis is not uniform. Using multiphoton #FLIM in #mouse #brain slices and #invivo, they show strong #cellular and #subcellular heterogeneity in astrocytic Na⁺ levels.

    Processes contain more Na⁺ than somata, Na⁺ varies between #astrocyte branches, and distinct Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase subunit patterns help tune local K⁺ uptake and #glutamate-linked Na⁺ influx.

  11. 🧠 New paper by Cooper et al., who introduce a method to trace #astrocyte #gapjunction networks in vivo and show that astrocytes form selective, plastic networks linking specific #brain regions rather than one diffuse brain-wide syncytium. These networks can span long distances, differ from known #neuronal projections, and reorganize after sensory deprivation:

  29. Alzheimer’s Drug Lecanemab Shields Brain from Free-Roaming Amyloid Fibrils

    Amyloid beta protein forms small aggregates that disrupt brain function in Alzheimer’s disease.
    Lecanemab, a recently FDA-approved Alzheimer’s treatment, can neutralize these disruptive aggregates, hinting at its potential to slow down the disease’s cognitive decline.

  30. A new study has revealed that astrocytes, a type of brain cell, can turn into neurons and restore memory in mice with Alzheimer’s disease. Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells that support and protect neurons. The study found that activating a gene called Ascl1 in astrocytes can reprogram them into functional neurons and reverse cognitive decline. The study offers a potential new strategy for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
