A Receptor-Like Function of Sema4B in Injury Induced Astrogliosis

[odedb]

Astrocyte activation (reactive gliosis) accompanies most central nervous system pathologies (CNS), including brain injury conditions. During astrocyte activation, the expression of many genes is modified, thus changing the cells’ protein expression profile and behavior. A well-known feature of the process is the increased production of intermediate filament proteins.
