Model of astrocyte ensheathment.
A: Schematic of astrocyte (purple) ensheathment of a synapse (blue). The astrocyte is protruding into the synaptic cleft by amount ϕ. B: Time course of receptor activation in a diffusion with recharging traps simulation for different depths of astrocyte ...

By 2050, the aging population is predicted to expand by over 100%. Considering this rapid growth, and the additional strain it will place on healthcare resources because of age-related impairments, it is vital that researchers gain a deeper understanding of the cellular interactions that occur with normal aging.

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).

Ompa Is the Critical Component for Escherichia Coli Invasion-Induced Astrocyte Activation
Escherichia coli is the major Gram-negative bacterial pathogen in neonatal meningitis. Outer membrane protein A ( OmpA) is a conserved major protein in the E. coli outer membrane and is involved in several host- cell interactions.

Methamphetamine (METH) is a widely abused and highly addictive psychoactive stimulant that can induce neuronal apoptosis. Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) is a member of the lipocalin family, and its upregulation is involved in cell death in the adult brain.

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.

The mammalian nervous system is impacted by aging. Aging alters brain architecture, is associated with molecular damage, and can manifest with cognitive and motor deficits that diminish the quality of life. Astrocytes are glial cells of the CNS that regulate the development, function, and repair of neural circuits during development and adulthood ...

Mechanosensory Signaling in Astrocytes [PDF]
Mechanosensitivity is a well-known feature of astrocytes, however, its underlying mechanisms and functional significance remain unclear. There is evidence that astrocytes are acutely sensitive to decreases in cerebral perfusion pressure and may function as intracranial baroreceptors, tuned to monitor brain blood flow.
