Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia, with aging as its primary risk factor. Among experimental models of sporadic AD, intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of streptozotocin (STZ) in rodents is widely used. We hypothesized that STZ accelerates the process of cellular senescence, which in astrocytes can be assessed using classic markers, including p16, β-galactosidase, Lamin B1,...
