These include astrocytes which have cellular processes coming off their cell body, giving them a star-shaped appearance.

神经胶质细胞包括星胶质细胞，它们的胞体发出许多长而分支的突起，使其呈现星。

Among the fibers is the structural protein glial fibrillary acidic protein that is typically found in astrocytes.

这些纤维中有结构状蛋白——胶质纤维酸性蛋白，这些蛋白通常存在于星细胞中。

It actually stems from these specific cells in your brain called astrocytes.

它实际上源于大脑中称为星胶质细胞的特定细胞。

They are typically named by the cell type involved, so for example an astrocytoma is a tumor formed by mutated astrocytes.

脑肿瘤通常以变异细胞的类型，如，星细胞瘤是由变异的星胶质细胞成。

Neurons aren't the only cells affected in Alzheimer's disease; astrocytes and microglia also play a role.

神经元并不是阿尔茨海默病中唯一受影响的细胞。星胶质细胞和小胶质细胞也发挥作用。

Astrocytes are found throughout the brain and spinal cord, and their main roles include maintaining the blood-brain barrier, providing nourishment to neurons, and recycling neurotransmitters.

星细胞遍布大脑和脊髓，它们的主要作用是维持血脑屏障，并为神经细胞提供营养以及回收神经递质。

Ammonia appears to mainly target astrocytes, a type of glial cell in the brain, and although the mechanisms aren't fully understood, ammonia seems to cause astrocyte swelling and oxidative damage.

氨主要出现在星胶质细胞中，它是脑内的一种神经胶质细胞，虽然具体的机制我们仍然不清楚，不过氨似乎能导致星胶质细胞肿大和氧化损伤。

Because astrocytes are found through the brain and spinal cord, astrocytomas can form throughout those locations, but juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas are mostly infratentorial tumors in the cerebellum or near the brainstem.

因为星细胞遍布大脑和脊髓，星细胞瘤也可以遍布在这些部位，但青少年毛细胞星细胞瘤大多数是位于小脑内或脑干旁的脑幕下肿瘤。
