The foot processes of these cells against bloodvessels comprise the blood-brain barrier.
A controversial hypothesis suggests that these cells take part in a "shuttle" in which they feed another kind of cell withlactate produced through glucose metabolism. Even though they're not located in or around the kidney, these cells stronglyexpress aquaporin-4. Pilocytic, Âbrillary, and anaplastic are respectively the WHO Grade I, II, and III types of cancers originatingfrom these cells. One subtype of these cells is generally not present in adulthood, apart from cells named for Bergmann.When blood flow rises, a calcium wave propagates through these gap junction-connected cells. Immature cells of this kindsecrete TSP 1 and 2 to promote the development of new synapses. There are Âfibrous, protoplasmic, and radial varieties of thesecells, whose reactive types proliferate to form scars after neurons are damaged. The foot processes of these cells against bloodvessels comprise the blood-brain barrier. For 10 points, name these glial cells in the central nervous system, so-named becausethey are shaped like stars.
