Gene expression, proteome and calcium signaling alterations in immortalized hippocampal astrocytes from an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model

Abstract excerpt

Evidence is rapidly growing regarding a role of astroglial cells in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and the hippocampus is one of the important brain regions affected in AD. While primary astroglial cultures, both from wild-type mice and from rodent models of AD, have been useful for studying astrocyte-specific alterations, the limited cell number and short primary culture lifetime have limited the...
