Regional and temporal progression of reactive astrocytosis in the brain of the myelin mutant taiep rat

Abstract

Reactive astrocytosis in taiep rats was shown by glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunoreactivity measured by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and indirect immunofluorescence. Increased GFAP immunoreactivity was first observed in the brainstem of 15-day-old taiep rats and was widespread throughout all brain regions at 6 months of age. Characteristically, astrocytes were hypertrophic and displayed strong GFAP fluorescence. The pattern of these reactive cells may correlate with the process of dysmyelination in the taiep rat.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
