The role of reactive astrocytes in perinatal white matter injury (WMI) is unclear. In a mouse model of WMI, we provide evidence that impairing the formation of a C3-expressing neuroinflammatory reactive astrocyte sub-state rescues myelination and behavioral deficits. We further demonstrate the presence of C3-expressing reactive astrocytes in human WMI. Our data point to these cells as putative drivers of myelination failure in WMI and a potentially promising therapeutic target.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
