NEP1-40 Regulates the Development of Hippocampal Neural Stem Cells in Schizophrenic Mice
Researchers demonstrate that NEP1-40 promotes hippocampal #NeuralStemCell differentiation into #neurons and reduces #astrocyte proliferation and #neuronalapoptosis, leading to improved #cognitive and behavioral symptoms in #schizophrenia mouse models.

We show that cocaine activates the JAK-STAT3 pathway in astrocytes, and that reducing this reactivity mitigates cocaine-induced hyperlocomotion.
