Astrocyte Products

Astrocytes are the most abundant, numerous, and diverse type of glial cells in the central nervous system. They have a number of essential functions, e.g. physical and metabolic support for the normal functioning of neurons and other neuronal cells. An increasing number of studies have shown that astrocytes play a key role in regulating the formation of myelin sheath, which is the process of wrapping axons in myelin sheath, thereby increasing the transmission speed of electrical pulses. In addition, astrocytes coordinate neuronal development by secreting synapse-forming molecules and trimming excess synapses. Astrocyte dysfunction is considered one of the pathological causes of many diseases including trauma, stroke and multiple sclerosis.
They also play a role in:
- Electrical pulses and synaptic transmission regulation
- Metabolic support
- Transmitter absorption and release
- Glycogen, blood flow and ion concentration regulation
- Ion concentration adjustment
- Nutritional support for neurons
- Metabolites and waste removal
- Blood-brain barrier maintenance
- Damage repair of the central nervous system
- Physical support for brain development
- Synapse structure and function
- Formation of colloidal restriction membrane
