Olig2-Lineage Astrocytes: A Distinct Subtype of Astrocytes That Differs from GFAP Astrocytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2018 Astrocytes are the most abundant glia cell type in the central nervous system (CNS), and are known to constitute heterogeneous populations that differ in their morphology, gene expression and function.

Copper Metabolism of Astrocytes [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2013 This short review will summarize the current knowledge on the uptake, storage and export of copper ions by astrocytes and will address the potential roles of astrocytes in copper homeostasis in the normal and diseased brain.

Metabolic Heterogeneity of Cerebral Cortical and Cerebellar Astrocytes
Life, 2023 Astrocytes play critical roles in regulating neuronal synaptogenesis, maintaining blood–brain barrier integrity, and recycling neurotransmitters. Increasing numbers of studies have suggested astrocyte heterogeneity in morphology, gene profile, and ...

Exocytosis in Astrocytes [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2021 Until recently, astrocytes were thought to be a part of a simple “brain glue” providing only a supporting role for neurons. However, the discoveries of the last two decades have proven astrocytes to be dynamic partners participating in brain metabolism and actively influencing communication between neurons.

Astrocytes in Tauopathies [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2020 Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the progressive accumulation across the brain of hyperphosphorylated aggregates of the microtubule-associated protein tau that vary in isoform composition, structural conformation and localization.

Neurotherapeutics, 2010 Astrocytes form a significant constituent of seizure foci in the human brain. For a long time it was believed that astrocytes play a significant role in the causation of seizures. With the increase in our understanding of the unique biology of these cells, their precise role in seizure foci is receiving renewed attention.

Astrocytic neuroligins control astrocyte morphogenesis and synaptogenesis [PDF]
Nature, 2017 Astrocytes are complex glial cells with numerous fine cellular processes that infiltrate the neuropil and interact with synapses. The mechanisms that control the establishment of astrocyte morphology are unknown, and it is unclear whether impairing astrocytic infiltration of the neuropil alters synaptic connectivity.
