Human apoE3 but not apoE4 rescues impaired astrocyte activation in apoE null mice
The allele E4 of apolipoprotein E (apoE) is an important risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and the chronic brain inflammation which is associated with AD is more pronounced in subjects who carry this allele. In the present study, we employed mice transgenic for the human apoE isoforms apoE3 o...
