A ROSALIND® Case Study: The role of Glial Cells in CNS inflammation
View On Demand
Join us for an overview of the ROSALIND® cloud platform for nCounter® data analysis as well as a showcase of a study by Philip Hasel et al. from NYU Langone Health about the role of glial cells, specifically astrocytes, in CNS inflammation. Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the brain and play pivotal roles in brain homeostasis. In both acute and chronic disease, however, they can undergo a transition into one of several ‘reactive’ states. In this study, the researchers profiled the temporal transcriptomic response in mouse brain tissue exposed to the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to uncover drastic temporal changes in gene expression during neuroinflammation.
