“We found that the amount of oxygen in the brain determines the type of vessel response triggered by astrocyte calcium signals.”

“When oxygen levels are high, similar to when the brain is inactive, astrocyte activation induces vasoconstriction, which would decrease blood flow.”

“The vast majority of astrocyte research is done using mice and rats, and has yielded important insights into the contributions of these cells to brain function.”

“Of the 14 anaplastic oligoastrocytomas, 6 were designated astrocytoma predominant and 2 were oligodendroglioma predominant.”

“The astrocytoma was well defined and had only partially infiltrated surrounding tissue.”

“Similar results were seen when cases of astrocytoma were analyzed separately.”

“The intracranial tumors associated with neurofibromatosis include optic gliomas, other astrocytomas, neurilemomas, acoustic neuromas, neurofibromas, and meningiomas.”

“Optic gliomas, subependymal giant cell astrocytomas, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas, mixed gliomas with oligodendroglial features, and gangliogliomas were excluded.”

“Some of Burzynski's patients had suffered from astrocytomas that apparently had been cured by his unorthodox treatment.”

“As in herpes encephalitis, the inclusions in SSPE may be found in neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglia.”

“From human embryonic stem cells the company has produced the three types of brain cells, namely glia, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.”

“His work has established the inhibitory role astrocytes can play in preventing central nervous system regeneration.”
