Astrocytic apoE4 and tau: Deadly combination for neurons

New data from Wang and colleagues1 suggest that astrocyte-derived apoE4 drives tau-mediated neurodegeneration. This research highlights how a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is a major determinant of neurodegeneration in tau-expressing neurons by regulating non-cell-autonomous pathways....
