Hu et al report that amyhloid-beta activates cultured astrocytes and conclude that "A-beta plays a role in the reactive astrocytosis of AD and that the inflammatory response induced upon glial activation is a critical component of the neurodegenerative process." The findings do not shed light on causal mechanisms but rather describe the role of glia as reactors to the neurodegenerative process.
