| General description: | Lot specific orders are not able to be placed through the web. Contact your local sales rep for more details. 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.Characterizatio |
