This quantitative difference reflects that most transmitter uptake, especially that of glutamate, occurs in astrocytes and that on average two thirds of astrocytically accumulated neuronal ...

This review considers the role that optic nerve head astrocytes might play in the initiation of axon damage, based on the hypothesis that these cells are sensitive to mechanical or ischaemic ...

Some examples of mouse models in which astrocyte protein function is altered are detailed in Table 1. In addition to cellular hypertrophy and upregulation of specific genes associated with ...

Astrocytes from both groups had deficits in glutamate signaling. The cool part is what happened next: When they exposed astrocytes to clozapine, glutamate signaling normalized—but only in the ...

Neuropathological studies have demonstrated an increased reactivity of astrocytes and oligodendroglial cells, which reflects a process of neuroinflammation and which critically regulate processes of ...

He is currently working with the Medical Technology Research Center, Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah, Iran. His current research interests include astrocyte–neuron interaction, ...
