Astrocytes, the star-shaped brain cells, are known chemosensitive cells in the respiratory system. A new study shows that trafficking of TRPA1 channels in and out of the cell membrane in brainstem astrocytes contributes to their role as central respiratory oxygen sensors.
星形脑细胞星形胶质细胞是呼吸系统中已知的化学敏感性细胞。一项新的研究表明,脑桥星形胶质细胞中 TRPA1 通道在细胞膜内外的运输有助于它们作为中枢呼吸氧气传感器的作用。
