Claim 1field summarysupports2019Source 1DOI PubMed

Recent availability of RNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, morphological reconstruction, and imaging data has challenged the view that astrocytes are a homogeneous population across the CNS.

Claim 2field summarysupports2019Source 1DOI PubMed

The reviewed studies suggest that astrocytes are a diverse population with brain area-specific and disease-specific properties and functions.

Claim 3knowledge gapsupports2019Source 1DOI PubMed

Knowledge gaps remain before astrocyte diversity can be fully exploited as a physiologically relevant biological phenomenon in the CNS.
