• Impact of microbiota on central nervous system and neurological diseases: the gut-brain axis (2019, background): “Excessive activation of astrocytes is emerging as a vital mechanism underlying the production of neural cytotoxic or immune inflammatory substances, leading to CNS dysfunction and neurological disorders [85, 86].”
• Physiology of Astroglia. (2018, neutral): “Finally, through mounting reactive response, astrocytes (together with microglia) represent the main defensive system of the CNS (we shall not discuss astrogliopathology in the present paper, instead recommending recent comprehensive reviews (257, 258, 1329, 1352, 1353, 1637, 1638, 1815, 1818).”
