Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the brain and, until recently, were thought to merely provide scaffolding for neurons. Now, however, researchers believe astrocytes actually play critical roles in regulating neuronal function. Allen studies how astrocytes control the formation and function of neuronal connections, and aims to use this knowledge to develop ways to repair damaged connections to improve cognition and memory. Allen is also investigating whether these properties of astrocytes may regulate the brain\u2019s ability to learn new tasks.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIdentifying the factors that astrocytes release in the brain is the first step to unraveling astrocytes\u2019 potential therapeutic ability. Allen uses biochemical and molecular techniques to identify astrocyte factors, as well as to analyze the neuronal receptors and signaling pathways that these factors regulate. These findings will help researchers understand how astrocytes control neuronal development and function, and provide new insight into diseases like autism, epilepsy and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPew biomedical scholars gain entry into a robust community of researchers, including Pew\u2019s Latin American fellows and Pew-Stewart Scholars for Cancer Research. All gather yearly to share their findings and spur new lines of inquiry that lead to partnerships and collaborations that can extend for years.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u5173\u4e8e\u7d22\u5c14\u514b\u751f\u7269\u7814\u7a76\u6240\uff1a<\/strong><br \/>\n\u7d22\u5c14\u514b\u751f\u7269\u7814\u7a76\u6240\u662f\u4e16\u754c\u9876\u5c16\u7684\u57fa\u7840\u7814\u7a76\u673a\u6784\u4e4b\u4e00\uff0c\u5176\u56fd\u9645\u77e5\u540d\u7684\u6559\u804c\u4eba\u5458\u5728\u4e00\u4e2a\u72ec\u7279\u3001\u534f\u4f5c\u548c\u5bcc\u6709\u521b\u9020\u6027\u7684\u73af\u5883\u4e2d\uff0c\u6df1\u5165\u63a2\u7a76\u751f\u547d\u79d1\u5b66\u7684\u57fa\u672c\u95ee\u9898\u3002\u7d22\u5c14\u514b\u79d1\u5b66\u5bb6\u4eec\u81f4\u529b\u4e8e\u53d1\u73b0\u548c\u6307\u5bfc\u672a\u6765\u51e0\u4ee3\u7814\u7a76\u4eba\u5458\uff0c\u901a\u8fc7\u7814\u7a76\u795e\u7ecf\u79d1\u5b66\u3001\u9057\u4f20\u5b66\u3001\u7ec6\u80de\u548c\u690d\u7269\u751f\u7269\u5b66\u4ee5\u53ca\u76f8\u5173\u5b66\u79d1\uff0c\u5728\u764c\u75c7\u3001\u8870\u8001\u3001\u963f\u5c14\u8328\u6d77\u9ed8\u6c0f\u75c7\u3001\u7cd6\u5c3f\u75c5\u548c\u4f20\u67d3\u75c5\u7684\u8ba4\u8bc6\u65b9\u9762\u505a\u51fa\u4e86\u5f00\u521b\u6027\u7684\u8d21\u732e\u3002.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u6559\u804c\u5458\u5de5\u7684\u6210\u5c31\u83b7\u5f97\u4e86\u65e0\u6570\u8363\u8a89\uff0c\u5305\u62ec\u8bfa\u8d1d\u5c14\u5956\u548c\u7f8e\u56fd\u56fd\u5bb6\u79d1\u5b66\u9662\u9662\u58eb\u8d44\u683c\u3002\u8be5\u7814\u7a76\u6240\u7531\u810a\u9ad3\u7070\u8d28\u708e\u75ab\u82d7\u5148\u9a71 Jonas Salk \u533b\u751f\u4e8e 1960 \u5e74\u521b\u7acb\uff0c\u662f\u4e00\u5bb6\u72ec\u7acb\u7684\u975e\u8425\u5229\u7ec4\u7ec7\u548c\u5efa\u7b51\u5730\u6807\u3002.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>About Pew Charitable Trusts:<\/strong><br \/>\n\"(\u300a\u4e16\u754c\u4eba\u6743\u5ba3\u8a00\u300b) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewtrusts.org\/en\" target=\"_blank\">Pew Charitable Trusts<\/a> is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today\u2019s most challenging problems.
