Netrin-1 attenuates brain injury after middle cerebral artery occlusion via downregulation of astrocyte activation in mice

Abstract Background Netrin-1 functions largely via combined receptors and downstream effectors. Evidence has shown that astrocytes express netrin-1 receptors, including DCC and UNC5H2. However, whether netrin-1 influences the function of astrocytes was previously unknown. Methods Lipopolysaccharide...
