Journal ArticleDOI
Tripartite synapses : Glia, the unacknowledged partner
TL;DR: It is suggested that perisynaptic Schwann cells and synaptically associated astrocytes should be viewed as integral modulatory elements of tripartite synapses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutamate-mediated astrocyte-neuron signalling.
Vladimir Parpura,Trent A. Basarsky,Fang Liu,Ksenija Jeftinija,Srdija Jeftinija,Philip G. Haydon +5 more
TL;DR: Astrocytes regulate neuronal calcium levels through the calcium-dependent release of glutamate, and an NMDA (N-methyl-d-aspartate) receptor-mediated increase in neuronal calcium is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out the shortcomings of binary divisions of reactive astrocytes into good-vs-bad, neurotoxic vs-neuroprotective or A1-vs.A2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemically Functionalized Carbon Nanotubes as Substrates for Neuronal Growth.
TL;DR: By manipulating the charge carried by functionalized carbon nanotubes the authors are able to control the outgrowth and branching pattern of neuronal processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is argued that targeting astrocytes may represent an effective therapeutic strategy for Alexander disease, neurotrauma, stroke, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease as well as other neurodegenerative diseases.
