Chloride Channels in Astrocytes: Structure, Roles in Brain Homeostasis and Implications in Disease
Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the CNS (central nervous system). They exert multiple functions during development and in the adult CNS that are essential for brain homeostasis. Both cation and anion channel activities have been identified in astrocytes and it is believed that they pla...
