The functioning of the central nervous system (CNS) has been attributed to the neurons, but it is known that the astrocytes perform numerous activities which ensure that the neurons function and survive. The retina is a portion of the CNS that is composed of a large number of neurons and ...
Astrocytes are the most numerous cell types within the central nervous system, and many efforts have been put into determining the exact role of astrocytes in neuroprotection and repair after ischemic stroke. Although numerous studies have been done in recent years, there is still no thorough unders...
Astrocytes have an advantage in number in the central nervous system as a kind of macroglia cell,which spread widely in the gray matter and white matter of center nerve.and the research of astrocyte have being attached importance.Espelially in the past twenty years,scholar's research in astroc...
Additionally, our understanding of well-established populations of cells, including OLs and astrocytes, is beginning to change with the discovery that within these broad classes of glia, several subpopulations exist that may be functionally divergent (Kim et al., 2008; Kucenas et al., 2008a,b,...
Disruption of β-amyloid (Aβ) homeostasis is the initial culprit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. Astrocytes respond to emerging Aβ plaques by altering their phenotype and function, yet molecular mechanisms governing astrocytic response and their precise role in countering Aβ deposition ...

Astrocytes and Neural Circuits Documented over 150 years ago [1], astrocytes are part of the larger population of central nervous system (CNS) cells called glia, which includes oligodendrocytes, microglia, and other specialized cells [2]. Although neural circuits are often thought of as comprising...
Pretty much everything happening in the brain would fail without astrocytes. These star-shaped glial cells are known to have a critical role in synapse creation, nervous tissue repair, and the formation of the blood-brain barrier. But while we have decad

Astrocytes become reactive following various brain insults; however, the functions of reactive astrocytes are poorly understood. Here, we show that reactive astrocytes function as phagocytes after transient ischemic injury and appear in a limited spatiot
