Research on the Rat Astrocytes is essential to the study of stroke, brain injury,Alexander disease, cerebellar degeneration, multiple system atrophy (MSA-C), glioblastoma invasion, and autoimmune cerebellar ataxia. The brain is the main component of the central nervous system (CNS) and is located within the cranial cavity. It consists of several major parts: the cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, and brainstem. The brain is responsible for processing information, regulating bodily functions, and enabling cognition, emotions, and behavior. Together with the spinal cord, the brain forms the central nervous system. The Rat Astrocytes are to be used with Rat Astrocytes Medium (Cat. No. ACM0369). This product is intended for laboratory in vitro use only. It is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical applications.
