Astrocyte nerve cell, immunofluorescence deconvolution micrograph. The GTPase protein Rac1, which regulates cellular processes including the cell cycle and motility, is green. Actin protein filaments, which make up part of the cytoskeleton, are red. The cytoskeleton maintains the cell's shape, allows some cellular mobility and is involved in intracellular transport. Astrocytes are a type of glial cell. They provide structural support and protection for neurons (nerves cells) and also supply them with nutrients and oxygen.
