Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · history · refresh · how to use this template) I feel there are not enough references on this page. Some quite ground breaking ideas have been reported yet no references. Also, does anyone know anything about astrocytic granules? Thank you to whoever deleted the odd ranting at the end of the description page! ~Heather —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.83.103.53 (talk) 05:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC) |

- > Dear Dennis, the wikipedia is a not for profit project aiming at creating a free encyclopedia for all. A new article regarding astrocyte ceel got recently created. You could have a look at it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrocyte. I was looking for picture as an illustration and found your extraordinary one. So, I ask permission for a non-profit use of for example http://www.astrographics.com/GalleryPrints/Display/GP2016.jpg. Obviously the picture would be published with the full copyright notice, full credit to you, and your explicit written permission should you agree. To get a better feeling of permission asked you could see example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Boilerplate_request_for_permission. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you for time and consideration. ___ ____.

[edit] Discrepancy
A fundamental difference with neurons is their ability to duplicate through mitosis.
Is contradicted by the glial cell article. I'll remove unless someone confirms either way, then you can just plop it back in or put in that it they not undergo mitosis. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 03:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] References
I think this article is severely lacking citation, there's no way this would be backed up in an academic context —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidok1 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image
The astrocyte/neuron picture in the link looks great, but its not very informative. The example of GFAP stained (green) cultured astrocytes on the article is more representitive of these cells, but ideally a golgi stained image, or an in situ (in tissue) two-photon image would be best as this shows the actual 3D morphology of these cells. (unsigned comment, 12/4/2006)
- Agreed. The problem is that right now we don't have any such image freely available (see Wikipedia:Image use policy for context.) However, if you have the ability to make such an image, or the rights to one that exists, and you were willing to donate it, that would be greatly appreciated. --Arcadian 23:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- In addition to the in vivo image a high resolution image would be nice; Mark Ellisman has some amazing images of the morphology of single astrocytes. Some picturs are here
http://www.jneurosci.org/cgi/content/full/22/1/183 This is free public access, can these images be added? Also search for "maryann martone astrocyte" in Google Image search. I think this group also has EM tomographic astrocyte reconstructions -- a good rendering of that would add a lot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.48.49 (talk) 04:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Neurogenesis?
What about the recent evidence that astrocytes play a role in post-natal neurogenesis? (example: Shetty et al., 2005 out of Duke U.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.82.80.22 (talk) 15:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
