Abstract excerpt
The recent generation of induced neurons by direct lineage conversion holds promise for in vitro modelling of sporadic Alzheimer's disease. Here, we report the generation of induced neuron-based model of sporadic Alzheimer's disease in mice and humans, and used this system to explore the pathogenic mechanisms resulting from the sporadic Alzheimer's disease risk factor apolipoprotein E (APOE) ɛ3/4 allele. We show...
