The central nervous system (CNS) is a complex network where precise cellular interactions are crucial to maintaining brain health. Among the key players in this intricate system are astrocytes—glial cells that have emerged as vital regulators of CNS inflammation. Understanding the roles astrocytes play in these processes is essential for addressing various neurological diseases. Don't miss the opportunity to deepen your knowledge by attending the upcoming webinar, "Regulation of CNS Inflammation by Astrocytes."
Date and Time: October 30, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET
Astrocytes are far more than passive support cells; they are dynamic entities that play dual roles during neuroinflammatory processes. On one hand, they can amplify inflammation by releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and reactive oxygen species in response to injury or disease. On the other hand, they act protectively by secreting anti-inflammatory factors and maintaining the blood-brain barrier. This delicate balance between promoting and resolving inflammation makes astrocytes a promising target for therapies aimed at treating neuroinflammatory disorders.
The webinar's featured speaker, Dr. Francisco J. Quintana, a leading expert in neuroimmunology, will explore the complex functions of astrocytes. Dr. Quintana is a Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School's Brigham and Women's Hospital and an Associate Member at The Broad Institute. With numerous awards and over 200 peer-reviewed publications, his groundbreaking research focuses on the pathways that govern inflammation and neurodegeneration.
What You Will Learn:
Introduction to Astrocytes: Gain an understanding of astrocyte biology and their key roles in CNS functions.
Astrocyte Functions in Homeostasis: Explore how astrocytes maintain neuronal health and support normal brain function.
Astrocyte Responses in Disease: Learn how astrocytes contribute to neuroinflammatory conditions and their role in disease progression.
Novel Methods to Study Astrocytes: Discover innovative approaches used to investigate astrocyte activity and regulation.
Cell-Cell Interactions: Examine how astrocytes interact with other CNS cells to influence inflammation and overall CNS health.
Long-term Epigenetic Control: Understand how astrocytes are epigenetically regulated and what this means for therapeutic strategies.
