18 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The ApoE (apolipoprotein) allele epsilon 4 is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease, cardiovascular disorders, and stroke, indicating that it significantly impacts cerebral and vascular systems. However, very little is known about how APOE genotype affects brain endothelial cells, which form a network of tight junctions to regulate communication between the brain and circulating blood...
