Plasticity of astrocytes.

Glia - 1 Jun 1994

Shao Y, McCarthy K D

Abstract excerpt

It is becoming apparent that astrocytes carry out a large number of different functions in brain and are able to modify their characteristics throughout life, that is they exhibit a high degree of plasticity in their phenotype. For example, the morphology of astrocytes changes markedly during neuronal migration, maturation, and degeneration. It is conceivable that these cells must constantly adjust their...
