    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular metabolism 2018-02-02 Biomarkers

    Regulation of astrocytic mitochondrial function and redox status by IGF-1 is essential to maintain astrocytic function and coordinate hippocampal-dependent spatial learning.

  2. Astrocytes from old Alzheimer's disease mice are impaired in Aβ uptake and in neuroprotection

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2016-08-17 Biomarkers

    In Alzheimer's disease (AD), astrocytes undergo morphological changes ranging from atrophy to hypertrophy, but the effect of such changes at the functional level is still largely unknown.
