Inflammation changes the activity of many immune cells in the brain; however, astrocytes, which are typically known to be neuron support cells, respond just as fast. Astrocytes are known to produce anti-inflammatory molecules to prevent hyper-inflammation and cell damage. Understanding how astrocytes respond to inflammation is crucial to maintaining a healthy brain. In this image you will see DNA (DAPI, blue), Astrocytes (GFAP, green), and cell activation marker (cFOS, red).
