Abstract excerpt
APOE is the largest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD) with E4 conferring an increased risk for AD compared to E3. The ApoE protein can impact diverse pathways in the brain including neuroinflammation but the precise impact of ApoE isoforms on inflammation remains unknown. As microglia are a primary source of neuroinflammation, this study determined whether ApoE isoforms have an impact on...
