New “nature neuroscience” article from Tim O’Shea et al.

Central nervous system (CNS) lesions become surrounded by neuroprotective borders of newly proliferated reactive astrocytes; however, fundamental features of these cells are poorly understood. Here we show that following spinal cord injury or stroke, 90% and 10% of border-forming astrocytes derive, respectively, from proliferating local astrocytes and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in adult mice of both […]

Hadi Nia and Tim O’Shea Published in PNAS Nexus April Issue

This April, Center faculty members Hadi Nia and Tim O’Shea published “Alteration of mechanical stresses in the murine brain by age and hemorrhagic stroke” in the PNAS Nexus journal. Their research works towards a better understanding of residual mechanical stresses in the brain. Also known as solid stresses, mechanical stresses develop when brain tissues grow […]
