The central nervous system (CNS) is a complex network where precise cellular interactions are vital for maintaining brain health. Among its star players are astrocytes—glial cells that have emerged as pivotal regulators of CNS inflammation. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for addressing a variety of neurological diseases, and the upcoming webinar, “Regulation of CNS Inflammation by Astrocytes,” is worth attending to deepen your knowledge.
Date and Time: October 30, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM ET
