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 ...

Astrocytes connect and support communication ... NO synthesis is self-sustaining, supported by the NO-glutamate loop, but blocking molecular steps for NO-synthesis or those that trigger glutamate ...

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 ...
