Astrocyte-expressed STAT3 regulates glutamate homeostasis and binge ethanol drinking in mice

2026-08-17

Abstract excerpt

Astrocytes play an important role in neuronal health. A critical function of astrocytes is to clear excess extracellular glutamate and prevent excitotoxicity. STAT3 is a transcription factor that promotes astrocyte development and astrocyte reactivity in neurodegenerative diseases and following central nervous system injury. To determine the innate molecular and behavioral functions of adult astrocyte-expressed ST...
