Did you know astrocytes like these are related to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease? Understanding more about them could help scientists prevent or manage neurogenerative diseases. That’s why we support researchers like Anu Suomalainen and Pekka Katajisto who are studying how astrocytes and cells in the gut have shared characteristics despite working in different contexts. Their project will not only deepen our understanding of cell metabolism but also develop new tools to monitor and perhaps improve the health of these cells. 📸 Sofiia Olander #CellBiology #FrontierScience #Neuroscience #SingleCell #Alzheimers
