  • To highlight the role of co-culture models in CNS research.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of studies on NMs and astrocytes.
  • Analysis of in vitro and in vivo experimental data.
  • Emphasis on co-culture models for studying NM-CNS cell interactions.

Main Results:

  • NMs can induce functional alterations and pathological changes in astrocytes.
  • Mechanisms of NM-astrocyte interactions are complex and varied.
  • Co-culture models are essential for accurate assessment of NM effects in the CNS.

Conclusions:

  • NMs hold promise for treating astrocyte-related diseases.
  • Further research is needed to overcome challenges in NM application within the CNS.
  • Understanding NM-astrocyte interactions is key for advancing nanomedicine in neuroscience.
