Astrocytes contribute to brain inflammation in neurological disorders but the molecular mechanisms controlling astrocyte reactivity and their relationship to neuroinflammatory endpoints are complex and poorly understood.

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

The role of reactive astrocitose in the chronological evolution of traumatic brain injury [PDF]
Introduction and objectives. This study aims to investigate whether the cerebral modifications of posttraumatic reactive astrocitose can be considered an objective criterion for determining the age of traumatic cranio-cerebral lesions.

Astrocyte development—More questions than answers
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

Leucine Zipper-Bearing Kinase Is a Critical Regulator of Astrocyte Reactivity in the Adult Mammalian CNS. [PDF]
Reactive astrocytes influence post-injury recovery, repair, and pathogenesis of the mammalian CNS. Much of the regulation of astrocyte reactivity, however, remains to be understood.

Astrocyte as Spatiotemporal Integrating Detector of Neuronal Activity
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.

Disentangling astroglial physiology with a realistic cell model in silico [PDF]
Electrically non-excitable astroglia take up neurotransmitters, buffer extracellular K+ and generate Ca2+ signals that release molecular regulators of neural circuitry.

Normal aging induces A1-like astrocyte reactivity
Significance In aging, the brain becomes vulnerable to injury and cognitive function declines, but the mechanisms responsible are unknown. Astrocytes, the most abundant class of glial cells, are vital for the proper function of the central nervous system,

Elevated intracellular cAMP exacerbates vulnerability to oxidative stress in optic nerve head astrocytes. [PDF]
Glaucoma is characterized by a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, but the underlying biological basis for the accompanying neurodegeneration is not known.
