Astrocyte polarization in glaucoma: a new opportunity
Neural Regeneration Research, 2022 Astrocyte polarization is a new concept which is similar to microglia polarization and in which astrocytes are classified as A1 (neurotoxic) and A2 (neuroprotective).

Rapamycin attenuates acute seizure-induced astrocyte injury in mice in vivo [PDF]
, 2017 Astrocytes have been implicated in epileptogenesis and seizure-induced brain injury. Pathological studies reveal a variety of structural abnormalities in astrocytes, such as vacuolization and astrogliosis.

The Neurotropic Parasite Toxoplasma gondii Induces Astrocyte Polarization Through NFκB Pathway
Frontiers in Medicine, 2019 Background:Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that chronically infects nearly one-third of the world's human population. In immunosuppressed individuals and fetus, infection with T.

Astrocyte development—More questions than answers
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 The past 15–20 years has seen a remarkable shift in our understanding of astrocyte contributions to central nervous system (CNS) function. Astrocytes have emerged from the shadows of neuroscience and are now recognized as key elements in a broad array of

Morphological plasticity of astroglia: Understanding synaptic microenvironment [PDF]
, 2015 Memory formation in the brain is thought to rely on the remodeling of synaptic connections which eventually results in neural network rewiring. This remodeling is likely to involve ultrathin astroglial protrusions which often occur in the immediate ...

Astrocyte as Spatiotemporal Integrating Detector of Neuronal Activity
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 The functional role of astrocyte calcium signaling in brain information processing was intensely debated in recent decades. This interest was motivated by high resolution imaging techniques showing highly developed structure of distal astrocyte processes.
