GFAP upregulation by astrocytes attenuates tau neurofibrillary tangle pathology in a mouse model of tauopathy

Abstract Background The upregulation of the intermediate filament glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by reactive astrocytes has been traditionally assigned structural functions such as the shaping of astrocyte morphology and the formation of the glial scar. However, in vitro...
