cellular
• increase in apoptotic cells specifically in the cerebellum at P7 but not in the adult cerebellum
• cultured astrocytes show impaired engulfment of UV-irradiated apoptotic MEFs, with an approximate 60% reduction in engulfment compared to wild-type astrocytes indicating impaired phagocytosis of apoptotic cells
