Abstract

The role of non-neuronal cells in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression has not been fully elucidated. Using single-nucleus RNA-seq, we identified a population of disease associated astrocytes (DAAs) in an AD mouse model. The DAA population appeared at early disease stages and increased in abundance with age. We discovered that similar astrocytes appeared in aged wild-type mice and in aging human brains, suggesting their linkage to genetic and age-related factors.
