Abstract excerpt
APOE4 is the greatest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), particularly associated with increased levels of amyloid-β (Aβ) and amyloid deposition. However, it remains unclear whether APOE4 is associated with greater tau phosphorylation and neurofibrillary tangle formation, a hallmark of AD leading to structural disruption of the neuronal cytoskeleton. The current study used 3 and 7 month old EFAD...
