Astroglial cells represent a main element in the maintenance of homeostasis and providing
defense to the brain. Consequently, their dysfunction underlies many, if not all, neurological …

Astroglia are the homoeostatic cells of the central nervous system that control a normal
function of synaptically connected neuronal networks and contribute to brain defense …

The neurone-centred view of the past disregarded or downplayed the role of astroglia as a
primary component in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. As this concept is …

Astrocytes, which populate the grey and white mater of the brain and the spinal cord are
highly heterogeneous in their morphology and function. These cells are primarily …

The common denominator of neurodegenerative diseases, which mainly affect humans, is
the progressive death of neural cells resulting in neurological and cognitive deficits …

Alzheimer's disease is the main cause of dementia in the elderly and begins with a subtle
decline in episodic memory followed by a more general decline in overall cognitive abilities …

Astroglia encompass a subset of versatile glial cells that fulfill a major homeostatic role in the
mammalian brain. Since any brain disease results from failure in brain homeostasis …

Astroglia are a broad class of neural parenchymal cells primarily dedicated to homoeostasis
and defence of the central nervous system (CNS). Astroglia contribute to the …

Astroglial cells are involved in most if not in all pathologies of the brain. These cells can
change the morpho-functional properties in response to pathology or innate changes of …

Complex roles for astrocytes in health and disease continue to emerge, highlighting this
class of cells as integral to function and dysfunction of the nervous system. In particular …
