Solve: Astrocyte reactivity subtypes in neurodegeneration

Astrocytes adopt A1 (neurotoxic) and A2 (neuroprotective) phenotypes, but recent single-cell data reveals far greater heterogeneity. Mapping reactive subtypes to disease stages and therapeutic targets is needed. Linked to 9 hypotheses and 9 targets.
