Role of astrocytes connexins - pannexins in acute brain injury by Juan E. Tichauer, Maximiliano Rovegno

“…However, after acute brain injury, astrocytes can change their phenotype and modify the activity of both channels and hemichannels, which can result in the amplification of danger signals, increased mediators of inflammation, and neuronal death, contributing to the expansion of brain damage and neurological deterioration. This is known as secondary brain damage. …”
