Functional diversity of astrocytes in neural circuit regulation

TLDR
An overview of the regional heterogeneity of neuron–astrocyte interactions indicates novel ways in which they could regulate normal neurological function and shows how they might become dysregulated in disease.
Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that astrocytes may be as diverse in their physiological and functional characteristics as neurons. Ben Haim and Rowitch describe astrocyte heterogeneity, consider the mechanisms by which such diversity may arise and discuss the consequences of its disruption in disease.

Brn2 Alone Is Sufficient to Convert Astrocytes into Neural Progenitors and Neurons.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Brn2 alone is sufficient to convert astrocytes into neural progenitors and neurons, and the conversion is associated with cell microenvironments.

Genomic Analysis of Reactive Astrogliosis

TL;DR: The findings provide transcriptome databases for two subtypes of reactive astrocytes that will be highly useful in generating new and testable hypotheses of their function, as well as for providing new markers to detect different types of reactiveAstrocyte reactive gliosis in human neurological diseases.

Astroglia induce neurogenesis from adult neural stem cells

TL;DR: These findings reinforce the emerging view that astrocytes have an active regulatory role—rather than merely supportive roles traditionally assigned to them—in the mature central nervous system.
