Brian Bateman, one of the nation’s foremost experts on obstetric anesthesia, has been appointed chair of Stanford University School of Medicine's Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine. Bateman will assume the post on October 15.
Yet another role for the amazing astrocyte. In this study, they found that astrocytes detect changes in cerebral blood pressure and mount a response via gliotransmitter signaling.

Mitochondria in the brain show cell-specific protein makeups and because of these protein differences, astrocytes are more efficient at metabolizing lipids than neurons.
