Reactive astrocyte nomenclature, definitions, and future directions

Carole Escartin, +88 more
- 15 Feb 2021 - 
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.

Normal aging induces A1-like astrocyte reactivity

TL;DR: The aging-induced up-regulation of reactive astrocytes genes was significantly reduced in mice lacking the microglial-secreted cytokines known to induce A1 reactiveAstrocyte formation, indicating that microglia promote astroCyte activation in aging.

Cell Biology of Astrocyte-Synapse Interactions

TL;DR: This review summarizes some of the seminal findings that yield important insight into the cellular and molecular basis of astrocyte-neuron communication and poses some pressing questions that need to be addressed to advance mechanistic understanding of the role ofAstrocytes in regulating synaptic development.

Supporting Online Material for Astrocytes Potentiate Transmitter Release at Single Hippocampal Synapses

TL;DR: Results indicate that astrocytes are actively involved in the transfer and storage of synaptic information and mGluR-mediated but N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor–independent plasticity is observed.

Generation of circadian rhythms in the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

TL;DR: The molecular, cellular and circuit mechanisms underlying time-keeping in the SCN are examined, which act as the principal pacemaker for circadian rhythms, which are powerful regulators of physiology and behaviour in mammals.

HTSeq—a Python framework to work with high-throughput sequencing data

TL;DR: This work presents HTSeq, a Python library to facilitate the rapid development of custom scripts for high-throughput sequencing data analysis, and presents htseq-count, a tool developed with HTSequ that preprocesses RNA-Seq data for differential expression analysis by counting the overlap of reads with genes.

voom: precision weights unlock linear model analysis tools for RNA-seq read counts

TL;DR: New normal linear modeling strategies are presented for analyzing read counts from RNA-seq experiments, and the voom method estimates the mean-variance relationship of the log-counts, generates a precision weight for each observation and enters these into the limma empirical Bayes analysis pipeline.
