On the reactive states of astrocytes in prion diseases

Pages 87-93 | Received 30 Mar 2021, Accepted 12 May 2021, Published online: 31 May 2021

Figures & data

Figure 1. The diagram illustrating that in neurodegenerative diseases, instead of polarization according to the bidirectional A1-A2 or neurotoxic-neuroprotective model, reactive astrocytes adopt multiple, disease-specific states dictated in part by a nature of an insult. Within individual diseases, reactive states might vary across brain regions at any given time point of the disease (represented by dark and light grey arrows)
