Brain Cells Called Astrocytes Undergo Reorganization And May Engulf Attacking T Cells
Published August 20, 2008, 7:16 pm, Science Daily
When virally infected cells in the brain called astrocytes come in contact with antiviral T cells of the immune system, they undergo a unique series of changes that dramatically reorganize their shape and function, according to researchers. Intriguingly, the new data indicate that astrocytes may defend themselves from attacking T cells by engulfing (gobbling up) the aggressors.
