astrocytes
Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the brain, playing a crucial role in regulating extracellular ions and neurotransmitter levels, modulating synaptic activity, maintaining glutamate homeostasis, and preserving the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. Upon stimulation such as trauma or infection, astrocytes are rapidly activated, forming reactive astrocytes characterized by proliferation, hypertrophy, and high expression of intermediate filament proteins (including glial fibrillary acidic protein, vimentin, and nestin). Studies have shown that reactive astrocytes possess both neurotoxic and neurotrophic effects. Shenzhen Cell Valley provides a full-process service from neural stem cell differentiation to Astrocytes, purification, quality control, and release. Our products are highly pure, quality-controlled, and safe. We collaborate with research institutes, medical institutions, and enterprises to provide solutions for preclinical research and innovative breakthroughs in Astrocytes.
