1. These glia include the oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and astrocytes . 2. Reactive astrocytes respond according to different signals and impact neuronal function. 3. GS, in the brain, is found primarily in astrocytes . 4. Another perspective is that astrocyte swelling is due to glutamine accumulation. 5. Astrocytes have also been implicated in multiple sclerosis ( MS ).6. Whatever the problem is, it produces apoptosis of neurons respecting astrocytes 7. The astrocytes express glutamate transporters to remove glutamate from the synapse. 8. The mechanism of ATP release from astrocytes is not well understood. 9. Communication between astrocytes and neurons is very important in neuronal function. 10. Astrocytes form an outer limiting membrane to interact with the pia.
