Reactive astrocytes are astrocytes undergoing morphological, molecular, and functional
remodeling in response to injury, disease, or infection of the CNS. Although this remodeling …

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 …

Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system (CNS), performing
complex functions in health and disease. It is now clear that multiple astrocyte subsets or …

The idea of central nervous system as one-man band favoring neurons is long gone. Now
we all are aware that neurons and neuroglia are team players and constant communication …

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 …

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the hallmark intermediate filament (IF; also known as
nanofilament) protein in astrocytes, a main type of glial cells in the central nervous system …

Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that provide
nutrients, recycle neurotransmitters, as well as fulfill a wide range of other homeostasis …

Astrocyte activation and reactive gliosis accompany most of the pathologies in the brain,
spinal cord, and retina. Reactive gliosis has been described as constitutive, graded, multi …

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) readily infects a variety
of cell types impacting the function of vital organ systems, with particularly severe impact on …

Astrocytes maintain the homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS) by eg recycling of
neurotransmitters and providing nutrients to neurons. Astrocytes function also as key …
