Astrocyte-like CEPsh glia responds to the stressful environments

Kavli Affiliate: Noelle Letoile | Authors: Evangeline Chien, Angel Jacob Garcia, RASHMI CHANDRA and Noelle L’Etoile | Summary: Abstract While astrocytes are known to be important for development and nourishment of the nervous system, the field is just beginning to explore how astrocytes respond to environmental stimuli. Using Caenorhabditis elegans and their astrocyte-equivalent, CEPsh, we […]

Transient, developmental exposure to patient-derived anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies causes long-term axonal and behavioral defects

Kavli Affiliate: Samuel Pleasure | Authors: Jing Zhou, Ariele Greenfield, Rita Loudermilk, Christopher Bartley, Baouyen Tran, Chao Zhao, Hong Wang, Michael Wilson and Samuel Pleasure | Summary: Abstract NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis (NMDAR-AE) is characterized by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-resident anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies that cause behavioral and neurologic deficits. Although many symptoms are responsive to immunotherapy, […]
