Astrogliosis
In addition to their many functions in the healthy central nervous system (CNS), astrocytes respond to CNS damage and disease through a process called astrogliosis. For many dec...
Reactive astrocyte nomenclature, definitions, and future directions
Reactive astrocytes are astrocytes undergoing morphological, molecular, and functional remodeling in response to injury, disease, or infection of the CNS. Although this remodeli...
Astrocytes: biology and pathology
Astrocytes are specialized glial cells that outnumber neurons by over fivefold. They contiguously tile the entire central nervous system (CNS) and exert many essential complex f...
Generation of Neurons and Astrocytes from Isolated Cells of the Adult Mammalian Central Nervous System
Neurogenesis in the mammalian central nervous system is believed to end in the period just after birth; in the mouse striatum no new neurons are produced after the first few day...
STAT3 is a Critical Regulator of Astrogliosis and Scar Formation after Spinal Cord Injury
Signaling mechanisms that regulate astrocyte reactivity and scar formation after spinal cord injury (SCI) are not well defined. We used the Cre recombinase (Cre)- loxP system un...
