Astrocytes are neural cells of ectodermal, neuroepithelial origin that provide for homeostasis
and defense of the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes are highly heterogeneous in …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, are membranous particles released by
cells into the extracellular space. They are involved in cell differentiation, tissue …

Astrocytes are specialized and heterogeneous cells that contribute to central nervous
system function and homeostasis. However, the mechanisms that create and maintain …

The glial cells of the cerebellum, and particularly astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, are
characterized by a remarkable phenotypic variety, in which highly peculiar morphological …

Over the past several decades a large amount of data have established that glial cells, the
main cell population in the brain, dynamically interact with neurons and thus impact their …

Astrocytes are ideally situated to integrate glial and neuronal functions and neurovascular
coupling by way of their multiple contacts with neurons, glia and blood vessels. There is a …

Evolution of the nervous system progressed through cellular diversification and
specialization of functions. Conceptually, the nervous system is composed from electrically …

Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the central nervous system, have diverse
physiological roles in both health and disease, and exhibit phenotypic heterogeneity. In …

Astrocytes are the most numerous cell type in the brain and perform several essential
functions in supporting neuronal metabolism and actively participating in neural circuit and …

Although different regions of the brain are dedicated to specific functions, the intra-and inter-
regional heterogeneity of astrocytes and microglia in these regions has not yet been fully …
