  2. Gliosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliosis

    Micrograph showing gliosis in the cerebellum. Reactive astrocytes on the left display severe proliferation and domain overlap. Reactive astrogliosis is the most common form of gliosis and involves the proliferation of astrocytes, a type of glial cell responsible for maintaining extracellular ion and neurotransmitter concentrations, modulating synapse function, and forming the blood–brain ...

  3. Glial scar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glial_scar

    A glial scar formation is a reactive cellular process involving astrogliosis that occurs after injury to the central nervous system.As with scarring in other organs and tissues, the glial scar is the body's mechanism to protect and begin the healing process in the nervous system.

  4. Radial glial cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_glial_cell

    Micrograph showing Bergmann gliosis. H&E stain.. Bergmann glia (also known as radial epithelial cells, Golgi epithelial cells, or radial astrocytes) are unipolar astrocytes derived from radial glia that are intimately associated with Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. [10]

  5. Rosenthal fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenthal_fiber

    Rosenthal fibers. H&E staining showing these elongated eosinophilic structures in a case of pilocytic astrocytoma.Magnification 400x. A Rosenthal fiber is a thick, elongated, worm-like or "corkscrew" eosinophilic (pink) bundle that is found on staining of brain tissue in the presence of long-standing gliosis, occasional tumors, and some metabolic disorders.

  6. Glia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glia

    Glial cells known as astrocytes enlarge and proliferate to form a scar and produce inhibitory molecules that inhibit regrowth of a damaged or severed axon. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), glial cells known as Schwann cells (or also as neuri-lemmocytes) promote repair. After axonal injury, Schwann cells regress to an earlier ...

  7. Gliogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliogenesis

    Gliogenesis results in the formation of non-neuronal glia populations from neuronal cells. In this capacity, glial cells provide multiple functions to both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

  9. Astrogliosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrogliosis

    Reactive astrogliosis is a spectrum of changes in astrocytes that occur in response to all forms of CNS injury and disease. Changes due to reactive astrogliosis vary with the severity of the CNS insult along a graduated continuum of progressive alterations in molecular expression, progressive cellular hypertrophy, proliferation and scar formation.
