Human Apolipoprotein E Isoform‐Specific Differences in Neuronal Sprouting in Organotypic Hippocampal Culture
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
The apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon4 allele is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease. A role for ApoE is implicated in regeneration of synaptic circuitry after neural injury. In the in vitro mouse organotypic hippocampal slice culture system, we previously showed that cultures derived from ApoE-knockout mice are defective in mossy fiber sprouting into the dentate...
