31. OEG and astrocytes interact with each other to form a new glia limitans. 32. Astrocytes are glial cells that are the most abundant cells in the brain.33. Once activated, astrocytes may release various growth factors and undergo morphological changes. 34. Also, there is a comparable number of macroglial cells, mostly astrocytes . 35. An additional layer of cells called astrocytes surrounds the capillaries, reinforcing the barrier. 36. It was his interest in finding their source that led him to the astrocytes . 37. Astrocytomas are brain tumors that develop from astrocytes . 38. Some fibrous astrocytes are generated by radial glia. 39. The glial component of ganglioglioma includes fibrillary astrocytes with varying degrees of cellular atypia. 40. Unlike astrocytes and microglia, oligodendrocytes undergo a much more limited reaction to injury.
