Central nervous system astrocytes have an intricate, highly branched morphology. Proper development of perisynaptic astrocyte processes is necessary for tripartite synapse formation and function. However, cellular pathways orchestrating this development are largely unknown. Neuroligins (NLs) 1-3 regulate astrocyte morphogenesis via transcellular adhesions with neuronal neurexins. Here, we found an astrocytic NL2-based mechanism governing morphogenesis. Through structure and function studies, we ...[more]
