Mouse Hippocampal Astrocytes are primary cells supporting neurobiology studies on brain signaling, synaptic plasticity, and central nervous system health.
Mouse Hippocampal Astrocytes are primary cells isolated from the hippocampus of neonatal C57BL/6 mice. Astrocytes play essential roles in supporting neuronal function, maintaining the blood-brain barrier, and regulating neurotransmitter homeostasis. Morphologically, they exhibit astrocytic characteristics with typical star-shaped appearance and express astrocyte-specific markers such as GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein), S100β, and ALDH1L1. Mouse hippocampal astrocytes are involved in neuroinflammatory responses, synaptic modulation, and are implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury. They also exhibit calcium signaling properties and secrete cytokines and neurotrophic factors in response to injury or stress. This model provides a valuable in vitro tool to investigate glia-neuron interactions, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation.

Mouse hippocampal astrocytes offer vital insights into region-specific functions, molecular regulation, and physiological properties. Studying these cells reveals mechanisms governing astrocyte fate and their evolutionary impact on cognition. Additionally, astrocytes’ roles in neural signaling and cognitive integration are crucial for understanding brain function. While much knowledge derives from in vitro studies, astrocyte cultures remain essential for exploring their diverse contributions to neural physiology.
