Astrocytes are key homeostatic regulators in the central nervous system and play important
roles in physiology. After brain damage caused by eg, status epilepticus, traumatic brain …

Astrocytes outnumber neurons in the human brain, and they play a key role in numerous
functions within the central nervous system (CNS), including glutamate, ion (ie, Ca2+, K+) …

Research on glial cells over the past 30 years has confirmed the critical role of astrocytes in
pathophysiological brain states. However, most of our knowledge about astrocyte …

Astroglia represent a class of heterogeneous, in form and function, cells known as
astrocytes, which provide for homoeostasis and defence of the central nervous system …

Within the potassium ion channel family, calcium activated potassium (KCa) channels are
unique in their ability to couple intracellular Ca2+ signals to membrane potential variations …

Exome and targeted sequencing have revolutionized clinical diagnosis. This has been
particularly striking in epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders, for which new genes or …

Astrocytes are the key component of the central nervous system (CNS), serving as pivotal
regulators of neuronal synapse formation and maturation through their ability to dynamically …

The understanding of the physiology of astrocytes and their role in brain function progresses
continuously. Primary astrocyte culture is an alternative method to study these cells in an …

Astrogliopathy refers to alterations of astrocytes occurring in diseases of the nervous system,
and it implies the involvement of astrocytes as key elements in the pathogenesis and …

Astrocytes are key homeostatic and defensive cells of the central nervous system (CNS).
