Neurotoxic reactive astrocytes are induced by activated microglia
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
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 …

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

Astrocytes mediate synapse elimination through MEGF10 and MERTK pathways
To achieve its precise neural connectivity, the developing mammalian nervous system
undergoes extensive activity-dependent synapse remodelling. Recently, microglial cells have …
