Abstract excerpt
The apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon 4 allele is a major risk factor for late-onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is associated with a poor outcome after brain injury. Each apoE isoform is suggested to have differential effects on neuronal repair mechanisms within the CNS. In the present study, APOE genotype influence on the immediate response to injury and subsequent repair process was...
