GFAP at 50

ASN Neuro, 2020
Fifty years have passed since the discovery of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by Lawrence Eng and colleagues. Now recognized as a member of the intermediate filament family of proteins, it has become a subject for study in fields as diverse as ...

Glial reaction in the hippocampus after global cardiogenic ischemia [PDF]

, 2001
Many experimental surgerical procedures have been perfomed in the analyse of the phenomenon of brain trophism and plasticity, however undesirable intercorrence can occour leading to specific changes in the results that should be taken into attention.

Activation of Egr-1 expression in astrocytes by HIV-1 Tat: new insights into astrocyte-mediated Tat neurotoxicity [PDF]

, 2011
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Tat plays an important role in HIV-associated neuropathogenesis; the underlying mechanisms are still evolving. We have recently shown that HIV-1 Tat induces expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),

GFAP variant p. Tyr366Cys demonstrated widespread brain cavitation in neonatal Alexander disease.

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Alexander disease is a rare form of leukodystrophy caused by heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Brain cavitation in the white matter, predominantly distributed in the frontal periventricular area, has been

Nociceptive neuropeptide increases and periorbital allodynia in a model of traumatic brain injury. [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVE: This study tests the hypothesis that injury to the somatosensory cortex is associated with periorbital allodynia and increases in nociceptive neuropeptides in the brainstem in a mouse model of controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury.

Distribution of glial fibrillary acidic protein in different parts of the rat brain under cadmium exposure [PDF]

The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2015
The chronic effects of low doses of cadmium on the distribution of soluble and filament forms of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and their polypeptide fragments in different parts of the rat brain were investigated.

Müller glia activation in response to inherited retinal degeneration is highly varied and disease-specific [PDF]

, 2015
Despite different aetiologies, most inherited retinal disorders culminate in photoreceptor loss, which induces concomitant changes in the neural retina, one of the most striking being reactive gliosis by Müller cells.
