Chronic cortisol differentially impacts stem cell-derived astrocytes from major depressive disorder patients

Abstract Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric disorder, and exposure to stress is a robust risk factor for MDD. Clinical data and rodent models have indicated the negative impact of chronic exposure to stress-induced hormones like cortisol on brain volume, memory, and cell meta...
