Chemogenetic manipulation of astrocyte activity at the synapse— a gateway to manage brain disease
Astrocytes are the major glial cell type in the central nervous system (CNS). Initially regarded as supportive cells, it is now recognized that this highly heterogeneous cell population is an indispensable modulator of brain development and function. Astrocytes secrete neuroactive molecules that reg...
