Alzheimer’s pathology is characterized by plaques, tangles and neuroinflammation.
Aged 3xTg-AD mice recapitulate these AD characteristics.
Aged 3xTg-AD mice and human AD tissue exhibit reactive astrocytes in hippocampal gray and white matter.
3xTg-AD hippocampi exhibit increased plasma membrane Kir6.2, but not Kir6.1.
Increased Kir6.2 localizes to reactive astrocytes in 3xTg mice and human AD tissue.
