Elusive roles for reactive astrocytes in neurodegenerative diseases
Astrocytes play crucial roles in the brain and are involved in the neuroinflammatory response. They become reactive in response to virtually all pathological situations in the brain such as axotomy, ischemia, infection, and neurodegenerative diseases (ND). Astrocyte reactivity was originally characterized by morphological changes (hypertrophy, remodeling of processes) and the overexpression of ...
متن کاملP 155: The Roles of Microglia in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Microglia is a type of glial cell located throughout the central nervous system (CNS), which is sensitive to CNS injury and disease. Responsibility of microglia as the resident macrophage cells for injuries suggests that these cells have the potential to act as diagnostic markers of disease beginning or progression. Function of Microglia is strongly synchronized by the microenvironment of brain...
متن کاملReactive astrocytes and astrocyte intermedite filament (nanofilament) system in neurodegenerative diseases
Astrocytes have multiple functions in the central nervous system (CNS), e.g control of the formation, function and removal of neuronal synapses, control of blood flow, and they play a role in brain responses to neurotrauma and stroke. In CNS injury, stroke, or in neurodegenerative diseases, astrocytes upregulate the expression of intermediate filament (nanofilament) proteins glial fibrillary ac...

متن کاملAstrocytes in neurodegenerative diseases (I): function and molecular description.
INTRODUCTION Astrocytes have been considered mere supporting cells in the CNS. However, we now know that astrocytes are actively involved in many of the functions of the CNS and may play an important role in neurodegenerative diseases. DEVELOPMENT This article reviews the roles astrocytes play in CNS development and plasticity; control of synaptic transmission; regulation of blood flow, energ...
