Abstract excerpt
The APOE4 genotype is the strongest risk factor for the pathogenesis of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the detailed molecular mechanism of APOE4-mediated synaptic impairment remains to be determined. In this study, we generated a human astrocyte model carrying the APOE3 or APOE4 genotype using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in which isogenic APOE4 iPSCs were genome edited from healthy...
