Astrocytic Ornithine Decarboxylase 1 in Alzheimer's Disease.

Recent research has shed light on the metabolic changes in reactive astrocytes associated with Alzheimer's disease, contributing to disease pathology. In this article, we summarize key findings related to reactive astrogliosis and how the discovery of the role of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase 1 can set us on the path to finding more effective therapeutic strategies against neurodegenerative diseases.
