Astrocytes are star-shaped glial cells in the central nervous system that support neuronal function, maintain the blood-brain ...

“The astrocyte response to AD neuropathology is complex and nonlinear, both along spatial and temporal axes,” Das told Alzforum. She hopes the dataset, which is freely available online, will be a ...

They also found unique subclusters of astrocytes that appear to vary over time, highlighting the complexity of astrocytic responses in AD.

However, astrocytes are difficult to study. Parts of them are so thin that they are not visible under an ordinary microscope.
