Sex-Specific Properties of Astrocytes: From Development to Evolutionary Insights
Exploring sex-specific differences in astrocytes has emerged as a vital area of neurobiological research. This research sheds light on how astrocytes in females and males differ in their contribution to neuronal functionality, overall brain health, and various neurological disorders. These cells play a critical role in sustaining homeostasis, providing metabolic support, facilitating neurotransmitter recycling and responding to injuries to the central nervous system. Their physiology exhibits significant variability, which is influenced by factors such as sex, developmental stage, species differences and environmental conditions. This review provides an integrated overview of these factors, addressing key themes including developmental dynamics, aging, signalling mechanisms, glial interactions, responses to pathological states and cross-species comparisons.
期刊介绍:
Neurochemical Research is devoted to the rapid publication of studies that use neurochemical methodology in research on nervous system structure and function. The journal publishes original reports of experimental and clinical research results, perceptive reviews of significant problem areas in the neurosciences, brief comments of a methodological or interpretive nature, and research summaries conducted by leading scientists whose works are not readily available in English.
