Abstract excerpt
The APOE4 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (sAD), yet its cell-autonomous effects remain poorly understood. While young, asymptomatic APOE4 carriers exhibit abnormal brain metabolism, the mechanistic link between mitochondrial dysfunction and lysosomal-autophagic failure remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of primary human fibroblasts...
