Location, Location, Location: Transcriptional Control of Astrocyte Heterogeneity

Abstract

Huang et al. have found that deletion of astrocyte lineage-specifying transcription factor NFIA from mature astrocytes alters astrocyte morphology, molecular identity, and synaptic-support capacity in a region-specific manner. We discuss the implications of these findings in light of emerging roles for astrocytes in immune cell crosstalk.
