Astrocytes are essential for maintaining neuronal health and regulating the brain's inflammatory environment. In this study, we developed an adeno-associated viral vector (AAV9) designed to selectively overexpress glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in astrocytes, using the astrocyte-specific GFAP promoter and TdTomato for transduction tracking. This approach yielded targeted GDNF e
