Product Overview
Description
Human Brain Astrocytes are specialized glial cells isolated from human brain tissue. These vital cells perform a range of essential functions, including the support and nourishment of neurons, the maintenance of the blood-brain barrier, and the regulation of neurotransmitter levels. Astrocytes help to maintain a stable and healthy microenvironment within the brain, which is critical for proper neuronal function. Due to their significant roles, astrocytes are extensively utilized in research fields such as neuroscience, where they contribute to our understanding of neurotoxicity, neuroinflammation, and various neurodegenerative diseases. Their study provides valuable insights into how brain health is maintained and what occurs during pathological conditions.
