Abstract:Pathological interactions between beta-amyloid (Aβ) and tau drive the synapse loss that underlies neural circuit disruption and cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Reactive astrocytes, displaying altered functions, are also a prominent feature of AD brain. This large and heterogeneous population of cells are increasingly recognised as contributing to early phases of disease. However, the contribution of astrocytes to Aβ-tau interactions in AD is not well understood. Here we stimulated mouse and huma… Show more
