Astrocytes are necessary for blood-brain barrier maintenance in the adult mouse brain
bioRxiv, 2020 In the adult brain, multiple cell types are known to produce factors that regulate blood-brain barrier properties, including astrocytes. Yet several recent studies disputed a role for mature astrocytes at the blood-brain barrier.

Memory in astrocytes: a hypothesis [PDF]
Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling, 2006 AbstractBackgroundRecent work has indicated an increasingly complex role for astrocytes in the central nervous system. Astrocytes are now known to exchange information with neurons at synaptic junctions and to alter the information processing capabilities of the neurons.

Quick Access to Human Astrocytic Software that Drives Neuronal Hardware
Stem Cell Reports, 2018 Astrocytes have important functions in the brain and their deregulation may cause disease. Current ways to derive astrocytes from pluripotent stem cells are labor, time, and resource intensive, but in this issue of Stem Cell Reports, Li et al.
