astroglial cell cultures during differentiation: effect of glutamate," Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, vol.
Rather, they wanted to learn why receptors that respond to both THC and signals naturally produced in the brain are found on
astroglial cells.
Astroglial cells (also known as astrocytes) have been viewed as cells that support, protect and feed neurons for the last 100 to 150 years, Marsicano explained.

Other authors evaluated
astroglial cells [13, 71, 113].
Fibroblast and
astroglial cells also have been transdifferentiated into neurons for CNS repair [15, 16].

The findings by scientists from UC Davis School of Medicine and Shriners Hospitals for Children --Northern California focused on support cells in the brain called
astroglial cells.
The GFAP immunohistochemistry revealed that the increasing number and density of
astroglial cells are dose-dependently related to 6-OHDA.
In the presence of hericenones C, D, and E at 33 [micro]g/mL, mouse
astroglial cells secreted 10.8 [+ or -] 0.8, 23.5 [+ or -] 1.0, 13.9 [+ or -] 2.1, and 45.1 [+ or -] 1.1 pg/mL of NGF into the culture medium, respectively [45].
