星形胶质细胞生物学功能研究进展

Progress in the biological function of astrocytes

星形胶质细胞是中枢神经系统内数目最多的一类细胞,被认为在神经元的整个发育过程中起重要作用。本文主要就星形胶质细胞321的生物学功能及其与神经元的关系作一简要回顾。

Astrocytes, with the largest number of cells in the central nervous system, are seen as active in playing an important role in the neuron development, In the present paper the authors have reviewed the biological function of astrocytes as well as the relationship between astrocytes and neurons.
