2018-01-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The accumulation of amyloid protein Aβ in senile plaques is a key driver and hallmark of Alzheimer disease (AD), a major cause of death and dementia in the elderly. The strongest genetic risk factor in sporadic AD is the ε4 allele of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE4), which potentiates pre-symptomatic endosomal dysfunction and defective clearance of Aβ, although how these two pathways are linked has been...
