DOI: 10.1002/glia.24011
Abstract: Nicotine is a highly addictive compound present in tobacco, which causes the release of dopamine in different regions of the brain. Recent studies have shown that astrocytes express nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) and mediate calcium… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/mds.29269
Abstract: The accumulation of α‐synuclein (α‐syn) fibrils in intraneuronal inclusions called Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites is a pathological signature of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although several aspects linked to α‐syn–dependent pathology (concerning its spreading, aggregation, and… read more here.
