.The new function and affect of astrocytes have been found and proved gradually.This thesis,reviews the normal biological function and the recent progress of astrocytes' biological function and discusses the relation between astrocyte and some neural systematic diseases as well as the changes of ...
The main elements of the central nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord. It contains millions of neurons and glial : astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia. The main role of the CNS is to process information, analyze signals, and activate effector organs. The role of the glial...
approach, we demonstrate thatfgfr3andfgfr4are required for vertebrate astrocyte morphogenesis. This work provides the first visualization of astrocyte morphogenesis from stem cell to post-mitotic astrocyte in vivo, identifies a role for Fgf receptors in vertebrate astrocytes and establishes zebrafish as ...
Molecular perturbation of cholesterol biosynthesis and efflux in astrocytes caused similarly altered astrocyte–neuron cross talk, whereas enhancement of glial SREBP2 and ABCA1 function reversed the aspects of neuronal dysfunction in HD. These findings indicate that astrocyte-mediated cholesterol homeostasis ...
Studies have demonstrated that exercise benefits executive function. However, it remains unclear which type of exercise is optimal for preserving executive function among young adults and the cerebral blood flow (CBF) mechanisms that underlie exercise-in
An in vitro study of the effects of lovastatin on human fetal brain cells. We used various cultures of embryonic brain cells and a line of immortal astrocytes as in vitro model systems to study the direct effects of the hypolipide... OV Pavlov,B Yuv,B Yuv,... - 《Neurotoxicology & Ter...
Immune function of astrocytes (p 180-190) The ability of astrocytes to produce a wide array of chemokines and cytokines is discussed, with an emphasis on the immunological properties of these mediators. The significance of astrocytic antigen presentation and chemokine/cytokine ... Yuanshu,Dong,Etty...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions are characterized by the presence of activated astrocytes, which are thought to actively take part in propagating lesion progression by secreting pro-inflammatory mediators. Conversely, reactive astrocytes may exert disease-dampening effects through the...
(b-b”’) Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a protein expressed by inner retinal astrocytes and activated Müller glia, is expressed by the glial cells of the host retina (red). Gliosis in the degenerate retina may occur to protect the retina from further damage, and a horizontal ...
