TL;DR: It is shown that SVZ astrocytes act as neural stem cells in both the normal and regenerating brain and give rise to cells that grow into multipotent neurospheres in vitro.

TL;DR: Deyelinated plaques in multiple sclerosis consists mostly of scar-type astrocytes and naked axons, but astroCytes inhibit the migration of both oligodendrocyte precursors and Schwann cells which must restrict their access to demyelinated axons.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Persistent ED1 up-regulation and neuronal loss was not observed in microelectrode stab controls indicating that the phenotype did not result from the initial mechanical trauma of electrode implantation, but was associated with the foreign body response.

  • ...The fact that astrocytes swell and divide after penetrating CNS trauma (Cavanagh, 1970; Mathewson and Berry, 1985) coupled with the finding that the areas of astrogliosis hinder diffusion in the brain (Roitbak and Sykova, 1999) supports a model for astrocyte-mediated erosion of recording capability with this class of devices....

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: This work has used Cre-lox fate mapping in transgenic mice to show that PDGFRA/NG2-expressing glia, a distributed population of stem/progenitor cells in the adult CNS, produce the remyelinating oligodendrocytes and almost all of the Schwann cells in chemically induced demyelinated lesions.

  • ...However, given that parenchymal astrocytes can divide in response to injury, it seems probable that many of the newly generated astrocytes (identified by expression of AQP4) are derived from local, proliferating astrocytes rather than from cells in the EZ, at a distance from the lesion (Buffo et al., 2008; Cavanagh, 1970; Chen et al., 2008)....

TL;DR: There are different biological mechanisms for induction and maintenance of reactive gliosis, which, depending on the kind of tissue damage, result in different expressions of the gliotic response.
Abstract: Recent studies of gliosis in a variety of animal models are reviewed. The models include brain injury, neurotoxic damage, genetic diseases and inflammatory demyelination. These studies show that reactive gliosis is not a stereotypic response, but varies widely in duration, degree of hyperplasia, and time course of expression of GFAP immunostaining, content and mRNA. We conclude that there are different biological mechanisms for induction and maintenance of reactive gliosis, which, depending on the kind of tissue damage, result in different expressions of the gliotic response.
