Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, yet the mechanisms linking APOE to amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology remain incompletely understood. Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiome may modulate neurodegeneration; however, its role as a mediator in the APOE-Aβ relationship remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate whether specific microbial taxa...
