Transplanted immature astroglia can secrete growth factors and provide extracellular substrates that are absent in the fibrotic lesion but that are required to support new neural circuit formation.
As the distance from the transplant increased, these were gradually replaced with the resident astroglia of the striatum.

As an illustration it was recently discovered that astroglia could promote oligodendrogenesis via secreted molecules (Jiang et al., 2016).

In addition, the long-term effects of ovariectomy (at 6 or 22 months after surgery) include age-dependent changes in the morphology of hippocampal astroglia and microglia, suggestive of neuroinflammation and neuroplasticity [90].
VEGF-B was not detectable in quiescent astroglia in SOD1 mice, but its expression became prominent in activated astrocytes thought to maintain survival of motor neurons after injury [31].
