Thrilled to share our new paper in @CellCellPress:
“Microglia–astrocyte crosstalk regulates synapse remodeling via Wnt signaling”
This work demonstrates the necessity of glia–glia communication and cooperation.

Grateful to see our Cell paper highlighted in a new Targetome commentary by Zhao, Agarwal & Bai on microglia→astrocyte Wnt signaling and glial coordination in synaptic pruning.

A study by Dorothy P. Schafer, PhD, and Travis E. Faust, PhD, published in @CellCellPress explains how different cell types in the brain communicate in response to changes in sensory input to the connections between neurons: https://t.co/4eysDrOFXm @SchaferLabUMass@TravisFaust2
@achtera@CellCellPress Thanks for sharing your interest in astrocytes — there’s definitely exciting research happening! I recently gave a public seminar on this topic that starts broad and explains how glia shape brain health: https://t.co/D5ankXJJsX
🔮 Open questions ahead:
What happens when astrocytes change how much they touch synapses in development, sleep, aging, or disease?
Does reduced astrocyte contact generally make synapses easier for microglia to remove?
How do microglia remove less-contacted synapses?
