Brain cells regulate cholesterol to control neuron signaling
Research led by Vitaly A. Klyachko at Washington University School of Medicine reveals that astrocytes, a type of brain cell, control cholesterol levels to regulate how neurons communicate. This finding, published in the Journal of Cell Biology, sheds light on a new mechanism for neuronal signaling and could have implications for understanding neurological disorders.
