Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is characterized by the presence of β-Amyloid (Aβ) plaques, tau tangles, inflammation, and loss of cognitive function. Genetic variation in a cholesterol transport protein, apolipoprotein E (apoE), is the most common genetic marker for sporadic AD. In vitro evidence suggests apoE links to Aβ production through nanoscale lipid compartments (also called lipid rafts), but...
