TL;DR
GFAP is an efficient biomarker in CSF, plasma, and saliva, which is associated with amyloid pathology, cognitive impairment, and AD, and can be used to extract significant information about AD mechanisms and find opportunities to identify diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.
Advanced fluid biomarkers, such as seed amplification assays (SAA), alongside multidimensional neuroimaging techniques (PET, SPECT, MRI), are proving crucial for detecting these early microglial and pathological changes to guide personalized, disease-modifying therapies of PD.

The upregulation of the intermediate filament glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by reactive astrocytes has been traditionally assigned structural functions such as the shaping of astrocyte morphology and the formation of the glial scar. However, in vitro studies have also implicated GFAP in chaperone-mediate...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressively debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ), tau pathology, synaptopathy, and neuron loss. Recent studies suggest that Neuroinflammation is a critical part of the disease process rather than an accompanying feature of the menti...

Alzheimer’s disease is defined by amyloid-β deposition and tau pathology, yet comparable pathological burdens do not necessarily correspond to similar cognitive trajectories, regional patterns of injury, or treatment responses. This discordance suggests that the cellular and tissue microenvironment may materially shape...
