Astrocytes release small molecules to protect neurons from oxidative stress

The aim of the present experiments is to explore the mechanisms by which astrocytes may protect neurons from oxidative stress with a focus on small molecules. A non-contact astrocyte-neuron co-culturing method was first developed. It was observed that neuronal survival was promoted substantially whe...
