Figure 1. Development of the Astrocyte Lineage.

Figure 1

Schematic synopsis of the cellular and molecular processes that oversee the specification and differentiation of the astrocyte lineage. Unlike neuronal- or oligodendrocyte- lineage development, the intermediate stages of astrocyte lineage development remain poorly defined, due in part, to the lack of reliable markers and clearly defined functionalendpoints.
