Purple plushy astrocyte. Obviously.

The boyfriend works on glioblastoma. Which is a cancer that happens to astrocytes, so he says. giantmicrobes.com has neurons, but not astrocytes, so I made a plush astrocyte. With a wire skeleton so that all its tentacles are posable, because who wants a non-posable astrocyte, really?

It’s purple because all the pictures of glioblastoma are purple.

Look, cute little tail!

Um... right. :o)

I suppose we find out if it's cancerous by coming back tomorrow and seeing if there's two of them...?

[hatam_soferet]

Ooh, you're a funny one...

Every home should have one.

Has UD seen it yet?

[hatam_soferet]

Yes. And he's going around showing it to all his friends, which is exceedingly gratifying.

Astrocyte!!

I am OBSESSED with psychology and neuroscience, I plan on getting a tattoo of an astrocyte, and I came across this while looking for cool pictures!! I got some of the plushie neurons for christmas and this is SO COOL. I wish I had one it's so cute! Good job! I thought maybe the Giant Microbes made more, but you made this yourself that is awesome! Love it!!

Really glad you liked it! I would have bought one through Giant Microbes if they'd had, but they didn't, so this was my solution. :)
