New studies show that astrocytes, long thought to be support cells in the brain, are crucial intermediaries for relaying messages to neurons.

“During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity,” Herbert and Lovegrove said in a study recently published in Science.
