Microglia modulate Aβ-dependent astrocyte reactivity in Alzheimer’s disease - Nature Neuroscience Microglia influence amyloid-β effects on astrocyte reactivity in the living brain of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. This phenomenon further contributes to cognitive impairment via tau phosphorylation and aggregation.

Noting that the kinase RIPK3 plays a proinflammatory role in neurons during flavivirus infection, Lindman et al. used mouse models to investigate its role in astrocytes, which help to maintain the blood-brain barrier (BBB). During flavivirus infection of mice, RIPK3 stimulated the expression of Serpina3N in astrocytes, which limited immune cell recruitment into the CNS by promoting BBB integrity, thus increasing survival. Together, these findings suggest that astrocytic RIPK3 promotes host protection during CNS viral infections. —John F. Foley

🧠 Astrocytes protect the brain during viral infection! Lindman et al. (2025) show #astrocyte RIPK3 triggers serpins that preserve the blood-brain barrier & limit immune cell influx. RIPK3 deletion → lower survival, same viral load. 📖 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scisignal.adq6422

Inhibiting the JAK-STAT3 pathway in nucleus accumbens astrocytes alleviates cocaine-induced motor hyperactivity Cocaine use disorder is a significant global health issue, and despite its widespread impact, effective treatments are lacking. While research has lar…

Excited to share that our study has been accepted in Progress in Neurobiology!🎉
We show that cocaine activates the JAK-STAT3 pathway in astrocytes, and that reducing this reactivity mitigates cocaine-induced hyperlocomotion.
