iPSC-derived blood-brain barrier modeling reveals APOE isoform-dependent interactions with amyloid beta
11 Oct 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Three common isoforms of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene - APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4 - hold varying significance in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk. The APOE4 allele is the strongest known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and its expression has been shown to correlate with increased central nervous system (CNS) amyloid deposition and accelerated neurodegeneration. Conversely,...
