BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics Announces Adult Stem Cell Breakthrough for Neurodegenerative Diseases; Differentiation into GDNF-Producing Astrocytes July 18, 2005 07:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time ...

The astrocytes network is thus essential for spatial learning and memory formation, as neuroscientists now show. Skip to main content. Your source for the latest research news.

Astrocytes, brain cells previously thought to be support cells for neurons, regulate blood flow in the brain and may aid neuron signaling. The regulation of blood flow makes visualizing brain ...

Serotonin triggers changes in astrocyte gene expression patterns, turning astrocytes into a hub of olfactory sensation processing,” Sardar said. “This project has uncovered novel aspects of astrocyte ...

A strocytes quickly respond to trouble in the brain. Under normal physiological conditions, these abundant reactive glial cells rapidly adapt to environmental changes, which allows them to regulate ...

Astrocytes, otherwise known as star cells due to their shape, play various roles in the brain, and many are focused on the health and activity of their neighboring neurons.

Astrocytes have a variety of support functions in the brain: They clean up debris, provide nutrients to neurons, and help to ensure an adequate blood supply.

A lesser-known type is the astrocyte, a somewhat star-shaped cell that secretes proteins critical for proper brain development. Astrocytes “tell the neurons what to do,” says Nicola Allen, ...

What’s more, these cells are everywhere. Estimates vary, but astrocytes may constitute about 20 percent of brain cells, says Kevin Guttenplan, a coauthor of one of the new studies and ...
