Role of reactive astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn under chronic itch conditions
Astrocytes are the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS), including the spinal cord. Neuronal damage induces astrocytes to become reactive and contribute to various CNS pathologies. Recent studies have demonstrated that astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn (SDH) become reacti...
