  1. Astrocytic autophagy plasticity modulates Aβ clearance and cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2024-07-23 Biomarkers

    Our data indicates that Aβ-induced astrocytic autophagic plasticity is an important cellular event to modulate Aβ clearance and maintain cognitive function in AD mice.

  2. Astrocytic adenosine A2A receptors control the amyloid-β peptide-induced decrease of glutamate uptake

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2012-01-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive cognitive impairment tightly correlated with the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides (mainly Aβ(1-42)).

  3. Lamina-specific arrangement of astrocytic gliosis and senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease visual cortex

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Brain research 1988-11-01 Biomarkers

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) visual cortex (area 17) was investigated using stains for plaques and tangles (Bielschowsky, thioflavine S) and gliosis (GFAP immunoperoxidase).
