Increased expression of astrocyte-specific autophagy genes was observed in the brain tissues of AD patients

Caption

(A) Increased expression of autophagy factors (LC3B, observed as blue dots) in astrocytes (GFAP) in the brain tissues of AD patients. (B) Increases in reactive astrocytes and autophagy gene expression in the brain tissues of AD patients. (C) Correlation between increased reactive astrocytes and autophagy gene expression was confirmed in the brain tissues of AD patients.
