Neuronal APOE4 alone is sufficient to drive tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model
2025-11-29
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD), exacerbates tau tangles, amyloid plaques, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation—the pathological hallmarks of AD. While astrocytes are the primary producers of APOE in the CNS, neurons increase APOE expression under stress and aging. Prior work established that neuronal APOE4 is essential for AD pathogenesis, b...
