The role of astrocytes in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains poorly understood. We assessed the consequences of ablating astrocytic proliferation in 9 months old double transgenic APP23/GFAP-TK mice. Treatment of these mice with the antiviral agent ganciclovir conditionally ablates proliferating reactive astrocytes.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alexander W J Renziehausen"

  • - Alexander W J Renziehausen's research primarily focuses on the role of astrocytes in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease, particularly their impact on disease progression.
  • - In a significant study published in May 2020, he investigated the effects of ablating reactive astrocytes in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, revealing critical insights into their contribution to disease exacerbation.
  • - The findings suggest that the removal of reactive astrocytes may worsen disease outcomes, indicating their complex role in neurodegenerative processes and potentially guiding future therapeutic strategies.
