Impaired astrocytic synaptic function by peripheral cholesterol metabolite 27-hydroxycholesterol

Astrocytes represent the most abundant cell type in the brain, where they play critical roles in synaptic transmission, cognition, and behavior. Recent discoveries show astrocytes are involved in synaptic dysfunction during Alzheimer’s disease (AD). AD patients have imbalanced cholesterol metabolism...
