The roles of astrocytic phagocytosis in maintaining homeostasis of brains
In the central nervous system, microglia are regarded as the main cells responsible for phagocytosis, contributing to neural circuit refinement and homeostasis through synapse elimination. However, recent findings have shown that astrocytes also actively participate in synapse homeostasis through ph...
