🧠Injecting SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD into the brains of mice caused depressive behavior by lowering astrocyte Cx43 and disrupting gap-junction communication.
Treating the mice with Celecoxib or restoring Cx43 levels reversed these effects. buff.ly/Q2RHx3h

Amygdala astrocyte primary cilium mechanisms contribute to stress behaviours - Nature
Amygdala astrocyte primary cilia are disrupted during stress, and their restoration leads to improvements in stress-related behaviour in mice.

Astrocyte specification in the mouse septum is shaped by both developmental origin and local signals - Nature Neuroscience
The relative contribution of intrinsic and extrinsic factors to astrocyte heterogeneity is unknown. Using heterotropic transplantation of septal astrocytes with distinct lineage origins, we show that ...
