A new study has revealed that astrocytes, a type of brain cell, can turn into neurons and restore memory in mice with Alzheimer’s disease. Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells that support and protect neurons. The study found that activating a gene called Ascl1 in astrocytes can reprogram them into functional neurons and reverse cognitive decline. The study offers a potential new strategy for treating Alzheimer’s disease.

Imaging Study Implicates Reactive Astrocyte-Neuron Interaction in Alzheimer’s Cognitive Decline

PET imaging with 11C-acetate and 18F-FDG was used to visualize the reactive astrocyte-induced acetate hypermetabolism and associated neuronal glucose hypometabolism in brains with neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s Disease.
