Efficient gene delivery and selective transduction of astrocytes in the mammalian brain using viral vectors
Astrocytes are now considered as key players in brain information processing because of their newly discovered roles in synapse formation and plasticity, energy metabolism and blood flow regulation. However, our understanding of astrocyte function is still fragmented compared to other brain cell typ...
