Quantitative characterization of astrocytes and microglia in control (CTRL) vs. Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. Box and whisker plots depict the distribution (box: median and interquartile range [IQR]; whiskers: 1.5 × IQR) of mean gray intensity (MGI) z-scores for (a) each astrocytic marker and (b) each microglial marker across the CTRL and AD groups. Statistical comparisons between diagnostic groups are available in Table S3: Additional file 1
