Astrocyte heterogeneity has been well explored, but our understanding of white matter (WM) astrocytes and their distinctions from grey matter (GM) astrocytes remains limited. Here, we compared astrocytes from cortical GM and WM/corpus callosum (WM/CC) using single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and spatial transcriptomics of the murine forebrain. The comparison revealed similarities, but also significant differences between WM and GM astrocytes, including cytoskeletal and metabolic hallmarks ...

Astrocyte heterogeneity has been extensively studied, but our understanding of white matter (WM) astrocytes and their distinctions from grey matter (GM) astrocytes remains limited. We directly compared astrocytes from cortical GM, WM, and the subependymal zone using scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics of murine forebrain sections. The comparison revealed significant differences between WM and GM astrocytes, including cytoskeletal and metabolic hallmarks specific to WM astrocytes. Furthermore, ...
