Abstract
Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the central nervous system, play vital roles in maintaining neuronal function. A new study using focused ion-beam scanning electron microscopy reveals the architecture of astrocytes at the nanoscale and provides new insights on how astrocytes perform their diverse activities.
