Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Dopaminergic degeneration is a central feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but glial dysfunction may accelerate or trigger neuronal death. In fact, astrocytes play a key role in maintenance of the blood-brain barrier and detoxification. 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA) is used to induce PD in rodent models due to its specific toxicity to dopaminergic neurons, but its effect on astrocytes has...
