Production and propagation of neutrinos in hot and dense matter plays an important role in core-collapse supernova and thermal evolution of neutron stars. In this article we review the micro-physics that influences weak interaction rates in dense matter. We show that these rates depend sensitively on the strong and electro-magnetic correlations between baryons. The current status of many body calculations of the medium response functions that are relevant for neutrino processes is discussed. Several physics issues have been identified but reliable quantitative predictions are still lacking - we present an overview of these open issues. Neutrino rates are also shown to be sensitive to the phase structure of matter at extreme density. We present a brief discussion of how these differences may affect core collapse supernova and the early evolution of a neutron star.
