Astrocytes have long been conceived as passive support player cells in the brain. But today @science.org (via 3 reports) they got a big upgrade for their active role in neuromodulation and control of brain function www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A new #ScienceAdvances study identifies a neuroimmune pathway for treating sepsis, finding that dopamine inhibits expression of a critical regulator of immunometabolism. This suggests that pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, could effectively treat lethal infections. scim.ag/4kfAfrZ

Mentre si parla tanto di #ReBRAIN #Europe, il nostro Paese con la nuova #riforma del #reclutamento facilita il #braindrain negando l'opportunità a migliaia di #giovani #ricercatori di fare ricerca in #italia . Se siete d'accordo, condividete l'articolo di #ElenaCattaneo

I did not think we would have to debate this point in 2025, but yes the study of sex in biological studies matter! bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

In a new #ScienceSignaling Review, scientists examine an emerging body of research implicating #SleepLoss as a metabolic disorder and discuss its impact on the metabolism of neurons and parallels to neurodegenerative disorders. scim.ag/4i8Ok96
