Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a polygenic disorder with a prolonged prodromal phase, complicating early diagnosis. Recent research indicates that increased astrocyte reactivity is associated with a higher risk of pathogenic tau accumulation, particularly in amyloid-positive individuals. However, few clinical tools are available to predict which individuals are likely to exhibit elevated astrocyte activation and,...
