General description

Rat astrocytes (RA) are derived from rat cerebral cortex. Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the central nervous system where they perform many functions, such as providing mechanical support and nutrients to neurons and removal of wastes from neurons; providing signaling to endothelial cells; regulating neurogenesis and controlling synaptic function. As the recognition of the importance of astrocytes in nervous system is increasing, RA serve as a useful in vitro model for exploring the diversity of astrocytes functions.Characterization: Stained positive for GFAP.Rat Astrocytes (RA) and Rat Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (RBMEC), both from Cell Applications, Inc., have been used to assess neuroprotective capabilities of bioenergy stabilizers in an in vitro model of stroke (Liu, 2013) and to investigates the effects of astrocytes on brain microvascular endothelial cells in relation to iron transport pathway (McCarthy, 2014).
