Abstract
Astroglial changes are common neuropathological features associated with acute and chronic disorders of the brain. They are widely recognized as early cellular responses following insults to the nervous system even before loss of synapses and neurons is detected (1). An astroglial marker detectable in CSF and serum would be useful for diagnosing or monitoring diseases associated with astroglial changes.
