| Description | Human astrocytes (HA) are derived from the human cerebral cortex. Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the central nervous system, where they perform many functions, such as providing mechanical support and nutrition to neurons and removing waste from neurons. Provide signals to endothelial Human astrocytes (HA) are derived from the human cerebral cortex. Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the central nervous system, where they perform many functions, such as providing mechanical support and nutrition to neurons and removing waste from neurons. Provide signals to endothelial cells; regulate neurogenesis and control synaptic function. With the increasing understanding of the importance of astrocytes in the nervous system, HA has become a useful in vitro model for exploring the functional diversity of astrocytes....

They wre originally isolated from the faeces of breast-fed infants, members of the genus Bifidobacterium are commonly found in the GI tract of mammals. In Bifidobacterium are Gram-positive, heterofermentative, anaerobic bacteria with a distinctive bifid; i.e. Y shape after which they are named. They wre originally isolated from the faeces of breast-fed infants, members of the genus Bifidobacterium are commonly found in the GI tract of mammals. In humans, Bifidobacterium resides within the GI tract, from birth to old age. Disturbances in the microbiota are linked to an ever-growing number of immune-linked disease states including IBD, atopic allergy, arthritis, and obesity. Therefore, there is a significant interest in treating these diseases through microbial or "probiotic" supplementation of patients, including Bifidobacterium. Data from mouse models and clinical trials indicate that Bifidobacterium may have beneficial effects for treating and preventing immune-linked diseases, including gut-associated and systemic conditions. Bifidobacterium have been commercially exploited as probiotic agents due to their associated health benefits and GRAS....
