Star-shaped cells make a molecule that can ‘rewire’ the brains of mice with Down syndrome – understanding how could lead to new treatments
Astrocytes (red) are vital to forming neural connections. Jeffrey C. Smith Lab, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke/NIH Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in Down syndrome, according to new research my colleagues and I published in the […]
