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...
Genomic Analysis of Reactive Astrogliosis
Reactive astrogliosis is characterized by a profound change in astrocyte phenotype in response to all CNS injuries and diseases. To better understand the reactive astrocyte stat...
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...
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...
