Within two to 12 weeks, the organoids were sprouting additional neurons, including ones found in very specific regions of the human cortex; glia cells including astrocytes; and neural stem cells.

Glia - making cells from people with schizophrenia also mostly failed to turned into astrocytes, which help neurons connect and determine when those connections, or synapses, fire.

Bergmann glia (green) are specialized astrocytes that support Purkinje neurons (red) and their circuits.

We now know that there are up to 1,000 different subtypes of nerve cells and supporting actors — the glia and astrocytes — within the nervous system.

The mice benefited from human stem cells called glial progenitors, immature cells poised to become astrocytes and other glia cells, the supposed support cells of the brain.

They turn into another kind of glia, called astrocytes.

Rather, Verkhratsky argues, the apparent advantages afforded by human astrocytes may be a consequence of their housekeeping abilities, underscoring the interdependence between glia and neurons.

To conduct the study, scientists took dental pulp cells from donated baby teeth of three children with diagnoses of non-syndromic autism (part of the on - going «Tooth Fairy Project») and reprogrammed the cells to become either neurons or astrocytes, a type of glia or support cell abundantly found in the brain.

Brain tumors arise in the glia, or supportive cells, of the brain and now are classified by their histology — characteristics visible via microscopy — and their cell of origin, either astrocytes or oligodendrocytes.

A new study just published in the journal Glia and available online on July 11th, details the newly discovered mechanism by which astrocytes are involved in inhibitory synapse formation and presents strong evidence that Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGF β1), a protein produced by many cell types (including astrocytes) is a key player in this process.

The brain consists of highly specialized cells such as neuron, glia, and astrocytes.

In essence, most pathological conditions in the mammalian retina lead to changes in Müller glia — often called reactive gliosis, which might be analogous to the response of astrocytes upon injury of other brain regions.

They belong to a class of cells called the glia, and they're called astrocytes because they're shaped like stars (sort of).

There are many more glial cells in the brain than neurons, and astrocytes are the most abundant of the glia, so if you take a sample of brain tissue, you're fairly sure to get some astrocytes as part of the bargain.
