<p>A new study by researchers at the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research (ACAR) has uncovered a promising approach for reducing brain inflammation.Ìý</p> <p>Glial cells, which support and protect neurons, can become overactive during injury and brain inflammation. This overactivity may contribute to chronic neurodegeneration and worsen brain disorders. Understanding how this process, called reactive gliosis, is controlled could help scientists better understand brain diseases and improve treatments.ÌýÌý</p>

Autistic individuals face similar goals and challenges transitioning to adulthood as others. However, they often need extra help and resources to make this phase go smoothly.
