Abstract excerpt
The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein (apo)E associates with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) as well as an earlier age of onset. However, the exact mechanisms by which apoE4 confers such susceptibility is currently unknown. We used a human apoE targeted replacement (hE-TR) mouse model to investigate the allele-specific response to entorhinal cortex lesion (ECL). We observed a marked...
