Tissue and cellular rigidity and mechanosensitive signaling activation in Alexander disease

Alexander disease is a rare neurodegeneration caused by mutations in a glial gene GFAP. Here, Wang and colleagues show in animal models of Alexander disease that GFAP mutant brain and cells have greater tissue and cellular stiffness and greater activation of mechanosensitive signaling cascade.
