Astrogliosis is a hallmark of central nervous system (CNS) neuroinflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Astrocytes can play

astrogliosis might facilitate the development of therapeutic targets. While astrocytes do not express voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) Nav1.5 in

nonpathological human brain, they exhibit robust upregulation of Navi .5 within acute and chronic MS lesions
