Grammar
"of which" or " which its"? in this clause
Hi, I read this sentence in an article but I don't know if it is grammatically correct. Specifically, I have doubts about the clause between the dashes.
"Neuroscientists have long held that glial cells in the brain, of which astrocytes are one type, support neurons by protecting them from invaders."
Wouldn't it be better this way? :
Neuroscientists have long held that glial cells in the brain, which its astrocytes are one type, support neurons by protecting them from invaders.
Thanks

No, the first one is correct. It's saying that astrocytes are one type of glial cell. Your version isn't a structurally correct sentence.
