| 41. | Gliotransmission can also occur between two types of glial cells : astrocytes and microglia.
|
| 42. | Astrocyte dysfunction can contribute to multiple neurological disorders.
|
| 43. | This discovery showed that astrocytes likely play an important role in learning and memory.
|
| 44. | Such discoveries have made astrocytes an important area of research within the field of neuroscience.
|
| 45. | After the injury, astrocytes can shrink, causing parts of the brain to atrophy.
|
| 46. | Abnormally shaped astrocytes with fibrile infections are very prevalent throughout the capillaries in the brain.
|
| 47. | Additionally, CD47 blocking antibodies inhibit proliferation of unstimulated astrocytoma cells but not normal astrocytes.
|
| 48. | In addition, It can also promote glutamate release and block its reuptake by astrocytes.
|
| 49. | In severely degenerated areas there are many large, reactive astrocytes filled with glial fibrils.
|
| 50. | In contrast there were no apparent effects on the production of new astrocytes or oligodendrocytes.
