          How Brain Signals Shape Its Protective Waste Disposal Network

          The brain’s meningeal lymphatic system plays a key role in clearing waste and transporting immune cells, but until now, how it develops was unclear. Using zebrafish and advanced imaging, researchers revealed that neural activity regulates this system by influencing specialized glial cells that release Vegfc, a key growth factor.

          Glial Cells Play Key Role in Alzheimer’s Development

          New research reveals that glial cells, specifically oligodendrocytes, produce amyloid beta, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease, challenging the long-held belief that neurons are the sole contributors. This discovery opens new possibilities for therapies aimed at preventing plaque formation in the brain. Targeting both neurons and glial cells could slow the disease’s progression by inhibiting amyloid beta production before plaques form.

          Glial Cells Reprogrammed to Neurons for Brain Repair

          Researchers have discovered how glial cells can be reprogrammed into neurons through epigenetic modifications, offering hope for treating neurological disorders. This reprogramming involves complex molecular mechanisms, including the transcription factor Neurogenin2 and the newly identified protein YingYang1, which opens chromatin for reprogramming. The study reveals how coordinated epigenome changes drive this process, potentially leading to new therapies for brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases.
