How To Use astrocyte In A Sentence
- Astrocytes, previously thought to be unimportant in neuronal transmission, have recently been implicated in long-term modulation of neuronal synapses. Health News from Medical News Today
- The astrocytes will stain with glial fibrillary acid protein, the oligodendroglia - like cells with S100 but not with glial fibrillary acid protein, and the neurons with synaptophysin and/or neurofilament.
- From human embryonic stem cells the company has produced the three types of brain cells, namely glia (glue cells), astrocytes (star cells) and oligodendrocytes (few branches cells).
- His work has established the inhibitory role astrocytes can play in preventing central nervous system regeneration.
- The chemical message is passing from one astrocyte to the next. Einstein's Brain Unlocks Some Mysteries Of The Mind
- Three cell types are found: astrocytes with their two varieties, protoplasmic and fibrous; oligodendroglia; and microglia.
- There are also supporting tissues in the nervous system, known collectively as glia; for example, Schwann cells surround the axons of peripheral neurons, and oligodendrocytes and astrocytes ensheath the axons of central neurons.
- Broadly expressed cell markers, such as the neuronal nuclei antigen NeuN, the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) and the fractalkine receptor CX3CR1 (which identify neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia, respectively), are commonly used in immunohistochemical analysis of brain development or disease. PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- Accordingly, in pre-empting neuronal glucose utiliztion by the neuron, ketone bodies may compromise neuronal energetic efficiency and, together with both endogenously generated and diffusible ROS exported by the fatty acid-oxidizing astrocyte, promote cell injury. Metabolism and ketosis | The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D.
- They observed both neurons and astrocytes, the two types of cells into which the brain stem cells mature.
