Glial fibrillary acidic protein in cryogenic lesions of the rat brain.

TLDR
The early reaction of theAstrocytes suggests that disassembly of glial filaments or new GFA synthesis may contribute to astrocytic changes.

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein: GFAP-Thirty-One Years (1969–2000)

TL;DR: While the structural function of GFAP has become more acceptable, the use ofGFAP antibodies and promoters continue to be valuable in studying CNS injury, disease, and development.
Journal ArticleDOI

GFAP and Astrogliosis

TL;DR: This chapter summaries the various experimental models and diseases that exhibit astrogliosis and increase in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and recent in vitro studies to inhibit GFAP synthesis are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative aspects of reactive gliosis: A review

TL;DR: There are different biological mechanisms for induction and maintenance of reactive gliosis, which, depending on the kind of tissue damage, result in different expressions of the gliotic response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astroglia in CNS injury

TL;DR: Both in vivo and in vitro studies on neuron‐glia interactions in different brain regions suggest that glia express region‐specific properties, including ion channels, neurotransmitter uptake and receptor systems, and cell surface adhesion systems.
Journal Article

Glial reactivity, an early feature of diabetic retinopathy.

TL;DR: The leakage of the blood-retinal barrier before glial reactivity suggests that glia are early targets of vascular hyperpermeability and may contribute decisively to the onset and development of neuropathy in the diabetic retina.

The astroglial response to stabbing. immunofluorescence studies with antibodies to astrocyte-specific protein (gfa) in mammalian and submammalian vertebrates

TL;DR: The astroglial response t o stabbing is studied with antibodies to astrocyte‐specific protein (GFA) in mammalian and sub‐mammalian vertebrates to study the response to stabbing.

Contribution of immunohistochemistry to diagnostic problems of human cerebral tumors.

TL;DR: It is believed that immunohistochemical determination of the GFA protein will soon be regarded as an essential tool for the more precise identification of diagnostically difficult brain tumors.
