Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder and the most common cause of dementia. Genetic analyses identified apolipoprotein E (APOE) as the strongest genetic risk for late-onset AD. Studies have shown that ApoE modulates AD pathogenesis in part by influencing amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition. However, ApoE also appears to regulate elements of AD via regulation of innate immune response, especially...
