Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament (IF) III protein uniquely found
in astrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS), non-myelinating Schwann cells in the …

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the main intermediate filament protein in mature
astrocytes, but also an important component of the cytoskeleton in astrocytes during …

It is now well established that the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the principal 8–9 nm
intermediate filament in mature astrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS). Over a …

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the main astrocytic intermediate filament (IF). GFAP
splice isoforms show differential expression patterns in the human brain. GFAPδ is …

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyloid plaques are surrounded by reactive astrocytes with an
increased expression of intermediate filaments including glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) …

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 …

Bone marrow stromal stem cells (MSCs) normally differentiate into mesenchymal derivatives
but recently have also been converted into neurons, classical ectodermal cells. To begin …

1The past decade has witnessed a burst of speculation and data about how astrocyte
dysfunction contributes to the phenotypes of the well known neurodegenerative diseases …

Enteric glial cells (EGC s) are in many respects similar to astrocytes of the central nervous
system and express similar proteins including glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Changes …

Here we review how GFAP mutations cause Alexander disease. The current data suggest
that a combination of events cause the disease. These include:(i) the accumulation of GFAP …
