Astrocytes interact intimately with degenerating motor neurons in mouse amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

abstract：:In order to improve understanding of remodeling events in the glaucomatous optic nerve head, the migration of optic nerve head astrocytes was studied in vitro. Since elevated intraocular pressure is an important stress factor identified in glaucomatous eyes, optic nerve head astrocytes were incubated under physical st...
