Abstract excerpt
The most significant genetic risk factor for developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the ε4 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE4). APOE genotype and biological sex are key modulators of microglial and astroglial function, which exert multiple effects on AD pathogenesis. Here, we show astroglial interactions with amyloid plaques in the EFAD transgenic mouse model of AD. Using confocal microscopy, we...
