Pain processing involves neurons, microglia and astrocytes. The functions of glia extend beyond basic support for neurons. Once activated, they release various classic immune factors that are also ...

In a recent study published in PNAS, Zhang showed that the transcription factor DLX2 can convert astrocytes into progenitors that produce various cell types, including neurons. 3 These findings ...

We use induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) representing neurological and psychiatric diseases. Differentiation of iPSCs into neurons, astrocytes, microglia allow us to analyze aberrant gene and ...
