NEUROD1 Instructs Neuronal Conversion in Non-Reactive Astrocytes
Currently, all methods for converting non-neuronal cells into neurons involve injury to the brain; however, whether neuronal transdifferentiation can occur long after the period of insult remains largely unknown. Here, we use the transcription factor NEUROD1, previously shown to convert reactive glial cells to neurons in the cortex, to determine whether astrocyte-to-neuron transdifferentiation ...
متن کاملDiversity in Reactive Astrocytes
Normal astrocytes in the adult undergo hypertrophy and proliferation and transform into reactive astrocytes following many types of central nervous system (CNS) injury (1–5). This process is termed astrogliosis and may result in the formation of a glial scar. Morphological studies on astrogliosis by neuroanatomists and pathologists at the beginning of this century focused on the most florid exa...
متن کاملNeuroD1 induces terminal neuronal differentiation in olfactory neurogenesis.
After their generation and specification in periventricular regions, neuronal precursors maintain an immature and migratory state until their arrival in the respective target structures. Only here are terminal differentiation and synaptic integration induced. Although the molecular control of neuronal specification has started to be elucidated, little is known about the factors that control the...
متن کاملReactive Astrocytes in Brain Metastasis
Brain metastasis, the secondary growth of malignant cells within the central nervous system (CNS), exceeds the incidence of primary brain tumors (i.e., gliomas) by tenfold and are seemingly on the rise owing to the emergence of novel targeted therapies that are more effective in controlling extracranial disease relatively to intracranial lesions. Despite the fact that metastasis to the brain po...
متن کاملAstrocytes orchestrate neuronal synchrony
Astrocytes orchestrate neuronal synchrony stroctyes are known to modulate synaptic communication between neurons. Now, colleagues report that astrocytes can elicit slow inward currents outside of synapses and thus activate synchronous responses in multiple neurons. During periods of intense neural activity, calcium oscillations are triggered in astrocytes, inducing the cells to release glutamat...
