Description

Rat Cortical Astrocytes are primary glial cells isolated from the cerebral cortex of neonatal rats and cryopreserved after initial culture to preserve native characteristics. These star-shaped cells display typical astrocytic morphology with branched processes and express glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a definitive astrocyte marker. Functionally, they support neuronal viability by regulating extracellular ion homeostasis, clearing neurotransmitters and metabolic waste, and modulating synapse formation and plasticity. Widely used in neurobiology, rat cortical astrocytes serve as key models to study CNS development, neuroinflammation, and injury responses. They contribute to neuronal survival, regeneration, and synaptic remodeling after brain trauma. These cells are essential for investigating glial-neuronal crosstalk and mechanisms of brain repair. To preserve viability, repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided.

Application

  • Rat cortical astrocytes are widely used in vitro to investigate the diverse functions of astrocytes in the nervous system. They support studies in neurogenesis, neurotransmitter activity, gene expression, signaling pathways, electrophysiology, neurotoxicity, and drug screening. These cells are also used to evaluate the neuroprotective potential of bioenergetic stabilizers in stroke models and to explore the role of astrocytes in regulating brain microvascular endothelial cells, particularly in the context of iron transport.
