Why is it important to know the proportion of microglia in astroglial cultures and to keep this proportion as low as possible? First, because astrocytes and microglia are very different types of ...

Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells in the central nervous system that support neuronal function, maintain the blood-brain barrier, and contribute to brain repair and homeostasis.

Glial cells come in many forms, but three major types are currently recognized: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia. The first are primarily involved in creating the blood-brain barrier and ...

A potential cause-and-effect relationship implicating astrocytes in the neurotoxicity observed in HD was noted following the observation in a neuron–glial co-culture that wild-type glial cells ...

Astrocytes are the largest and most prevalent type of glial cell in the central nervous system. Astrocytes contribute to formation of the blood–brain barrier, participate in the maintenance of ...

Cecile Richards, a prominent advocate for women's rights and other progressive causes and former President of Planned ...

as well as in “glial” cells called astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, which can support neural signaling by controlling neurotransmitter levels and electrically insulating nerve fibers.

astrocytes, microglia, neurons and complex 3D organoid cultures with the full compendium of glia and neuronal cells. Investigating the crosstalk between neurons and glia has allowed Dr. Fossati’s lab ...

Moving towards function, our recent endeavors focused on decoding the cellular and functional diversity of astrocytes in the adult brain. In both cases, we made fundamental observations about the ...

Glial cells, such as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, displayed reduced expression of support-related genes. In contrast, the expression of immune-related genes was higher in microglia ...

Previous research by the Ahrens Lab found the giving up action is associated with a type of glial cell called radial astrocytes. Whole-brain imaging revealed that ketamine increased the amount of ...
