Bezzi et al., "Astrocytes contain a vesicular compartment that is competent for regulated exocytosis of glutamate," Nat Neurosci, 7:613-20, 2004. (Cited in 86 papers) The finding: The discovery of a ...

The slice was fixed and immuno-stained with an anti-GFAP antibody (grey). Astrocyte activity and metabolism is heavily integrated with neuronal activity. While classically, we think of astrocytes as ...

This review considers the role that optic nerve head astrocytes might play in the initiation of axon damage, based on the hypothesis that these cells are sensitive to mechanical or ischaemic ...

Monocytes then travel to the liver and along the way become macrophages – also immune cells. The presence of glutamate reprogrammes the metabolism of macrophages, and these consequently begin to ...
