Microarray analyses reveal regional astrocyte heterogeneity with implications for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)‐regulated glial proliferation
3 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies have suggested that astrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) exhibit molecular and functional heterogeneity. In this regard, astroglia from different CNS locations express distinct immune system, and neurotransmitter proteins, have varying levels of gap junction coupling and respond differently to injury. However, the relevance of these differences to human disease is unclear. As brain...
