Astrocytes react to various neurodegenerative insults rapidly and undergo changes known as gliosis or astrogliosis. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), a wall of reactive astrocytes surrounds senile plaques of β-amyloid (Aβ) and might play an important ro

Astrocytes are one of the predominant glial cell types in the adult central nervous system functioning as both supportive and metabolic cells for the brain. Our objective in this experiment is to study the direct effects of hydrogen peroxide induced

The study compared the difference between the H2O2 treatment on astrocytic cultures from a rapidly aging strain of mouse (SAMP8) and its sister control (R1). A mild but statistically significant difference was observed in the numbers of dead cell bet

Ginkgo biloba extract 761 appears to display neuroprotective effect in many nervous diseases and aging. Deterioration of mental functions during aging is always accompanied by loss of neurons, presumably through apoptosis. Here, we studied the effect

Background Monozygotic twin pairs who are genetically identical would be potentially useful in gene expression study for specific traits as cases and controls, because there would be much less gene expression variation within pairs compared to two un
