Astrocytes are a type of glial cell that tile the CNS. They interact with multiple cell types, including neurons, glial cells and blood vessels, and are involved or implicated in brain disorders. Progress has been made in understanding astrocytes, but the field lacks detailed information concerning...
Astrocytes are an abundant type of glia and play an essential role in brain homeostasis by supporting neuronal functions. Therefore, one of the major goals of the present study was to identify ways to reduce the impact of proteotoxicity in astrocytes. In Aim 1, we examined natural adaptations ...
Astrocytes are the most common type of cell in the brain and play an important role in the function of neurons - nerve cells. New research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, shows that they are also directly involved in the regulation of signalling between neurons. "Our results contrib...
Glia outnumber neurons in the human brain by a factor of 10 to one, and astrocytes are the most abundant type of glial cell. Tina Hesman Saey, Science News Astrocytes come in two main forms: fibrous astrocytes are found in the white matter and protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter...
bA3/A1-crystallin is expressed by astrocytes.22 We have also provided novel evidence, based on our studies using Nuc1 rat, that this protein has a pivotal role in the migration, proliferation and patterning of retinal astrocytes.22,23 Astrocytes are one of the two glial cell types found in...
What are astrocytes? Astrocytes are large, star-shaped neural cells found in the brain. Astrocytes are the most common cells in the central nervous system and comprise several sub-types based on location within the CNS. They perform a variety of functions including neurotran...

Astrocytes, a sub-population of glial cells with a distinctive star-like shape, are known to play a vital role in numerous neuronal functions, including synaptic support, the regulation of energy metabolism, and the control of blood flow in the brain. While many studies have investigated their ...
Astrocytes are the most abundant subtype of glial cells populating the brain and spinal cord [1]. Microscopically, they show a typical star-shaped morphology with few major processes extending from the soma, which further ramify into numerous fine branches and leaflets at more distal locations [2...
Ultimately, the clinical outcomes of people with metastatic cancer greatly rely on the interactions of the metastatic tumor cells and the cells in the surrounding microenvironment of an organ.6,7Astrocytes, a subtype of glial cells, are the most abundant cell type in the brain microenvironment. In...
