Downregulation of STAT3 transcription factor reverses synaptotoxic phenotype of reactive astrocytes associated with prion diseases
Abstract In neurodegenerative diseases, including prion diseases, astrocytes adopt reactive phenotypes that persist throughout disease progression. While astrocyte reactivity may initially serve as a protective response to prion infection, it transitions into a neurotoxic phenotype that disrupts hom...
