Hippocampal Astrocyte Morphology Follows an Unexpected Trajectory With Age in a Transgenic Rodent Model of Tauopathy

Glia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individual protoplasmic astrocytes have very complex and diverse spongiform shapes. The morphological diversity of astrocytes is determined by the structural and functional interactions of the astrocyte with its microenvironment. When faced with pathological conditions, astrocytes reorganize their morphology.
