Astrocytes and resilience

Caption

Expression of the gene GPCPD1 in astrocyte cells is associated with cognitive resilience in people with Alzheimer’s pathology. Here white arrows indicate instances of GPCPD1 expression (blue) in astrocyte cells (denoted by AQP4 staining in magenta). There is much more expression in tissue from the cognitively resilient person (right).
