Neurotoxic reactive astrocytes are induced by activated microglia

SA Liddelow, KA Guttenplan, LE Clarke, FC Bennett… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Reactive astrocytes are strongly induced by central nervous system (CNS) injury and disease,
but their role is poorly understood. Here we show that a subtype of reactive astrocytes, …

Evolutionary and biomedical insights from the rhesus macaque genome

…, MA Marra, M Rocchi, JE Schein, R Baertsch, L Clarke… - science, 2007 - science.org
The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) is an abundant primate species that diverged from
the ancestors of Homo sapiens about 25 million years ago. Because they are genetically and …

[HTML][HTML] An integrated map of structural variation in 2,504 human genomes

…, T Bae, E Cerveira, P Chines, Z Chong, L Clarke… - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
Structural variants are implicated in numerous diseases and make up the majority of varying
nucleotides among human genomes. Here we describe an integrated set of eight structural …

[PDF][PDF] Purification and characterization of progenitor and mature human astrocytes reveals transcriptional and functional differences with mouse

Y Zhang, SA Sloan, LE Clarke, C Caneda, CA Plaza… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
The functional and molecular similarities and distinctions between human and murine astrocytes
are poorly understood. Here, we report the development of an immunopanning method …

Functional cortical neurons and astrocytes from human pluripotent stem cells in 3D culture

AM Paşca, SA Sloan, LE Clarke, Y Tian… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
The human cerebral cortex develops through an elaborate succession of cellular events that,
when disrupted, can lead to neuropsychiatric disease. The ability to reprogram somatic …

Artificial molecular rotors

GS Kottas, LI Clarke, D Horinek, J Michl - Chemical Reviews, 2005 - ACS Publications
To many, periodic mechanical conformational motion of molecules is mesmerizing to a
degree that is difficult to explain rationally: It is almost as hard to stop watching an image of …

Astrocytes mediate synapse elimination through MEGF10 and MERTK pathways

WS Chung, LE Clarke, GX Wang, BK Stafford, A Sher… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
To achieve its precise neural connectivity, the developing mammalian nervous system
undergoes extensive activity-dependent synapse remodelling. Recently, microglial cells have …

Normal aging induces A1-like astrocyte reactivity

LE Clarke, SA Liddelow… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
The decline of cognitive function occurs with aging, but the mechanisms responsible are
unknown. Astrocytes instruct the formation, maturation, and elimination of synapses, and …

Emerging roles of astrocytes in neural circuit development

LE Clarke, BA Barres - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2013 - nature.com
Astrocytes are now emerging as key participants in many aspects of brain development,
function and disease. In particular, new evidence shows that astrocytes powerfully control the …
