Do astrocytes provide the defence for the CNS?
Astrocytes play a crucial role in the defense of the central nervous system (CNS) by providing structural support, maintaining the blood-brain barrier, promoting neuronal repair, and modulating immune responses. They also help regulate the extracellular environment by clearing neurotransmitters and metabolic waste products. Overall, astrocytes contribute to the defense and maintenance of the CNS through their diverse functions.
