Apolipoprotein E4 Alters Astrocyte Fatty Acid Metabolism and Lipid Droplet Formation
Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as energy rich reservoirs and have been associated with apolipoprotein E (<i>APOE</i>) and neurodegeneration. The E4 allele of <i>APOE</i> (E4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for the development of late onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD)...
