    Glossary Astrocytes

    star-shaped brain cells supporting neurons and maintaining the blood-brain barrier

    Astrocytes, also known as astroglial cells, are star-shaped glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. They play a crucial role in supporting neurons, maintaining the blood-brain barrier, regulating blood flow, and repairing the brain and spinal cord following traumatic injuries.
