The pivotal role of astrocytes in an in vitro stroke model of the blood-brain barrier.

abstract：:Recent research into axon-glial interactions in the nervous system has made a compelling case that glial cells have a relevant role in the metabolic support of axons, and that, in the case of myelinating cells, this role is independent of myelination itself. In this mini-review article, we summarize some of those obse...
