Human adult astrocytes derived from brain surgical resections showed marked morphologic heterogeneity when cultured in vitro, ranging from a flat, fibroblast-like appearance to process-bearing cells with little soma cytoplasm. The majority of cells were intermediate in morphology, bearing a prominen
## Abstract Astrocytic scar formation occurs subsequent to brain and spinal cord injury and impedes repair. The exact mechanisms of scar formation have yet to be elucidated but it is known that astrocytes within the scar have a different antigenic phenotype from normal or reactive astrocytes. Astro
