...senile plaques modulated the activity of the astrocytes. They discovered that the astrocytes in the mouse model for Alzheimer’s fired spontaneously more often than in a normal mouse and had increased levels of resting calcium. “The astrocytes are connected over time and space and can send waves of calcium signals from one spot to the other,” said Bacskai, who added that these results were independent of neuronal activity. Kuchibhotla said the researchers think that the plaque deposition may be seen as a traumatic event that is causing these intercellular calcium waves...
...triggered backlash from professors who object to the administration’s apparent prioritization of stem cell research at the expense of their own discipline.‘NETHERLAND’Harvard’s stem cell researchers, who are dispersed across Boston, have long envisioned a unified research space in Allston, a dream that University Provost Steven E. Hyman has sought to turn into a reality. But that effort has come at a cost. Some researchers in the MCB department have come to view the Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology department (SCRB) as the administration’s favorite...
