Astrocytes are integral constituents of the central nervous system, serving roles that extend far beyond mere structural support. These specialised glial cells are crucial for maintaining homeostasis, ...

Increased expression of the Ang‐II (Angiotensin II) precursor AGT in aged astrocytes lead to increased Ang‐II signaling from aged astrocytes to endothelium, thus increasingblood–brain barrier (BBB) ...

The connection between perturbations in BBB barrier function and damage to the astrocyte network and its functions arises from BBB damage, leading to the extravasation of albumin. In the physiological ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...
