Abstract:The role of non-neuronal cells has been relatively overlooked in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) neuropathogenesis compared to neuronal cells since the first characterization of the disease. Genome wide-association studies (GWAS) performed in the last few decades have greatly contributed to highlighting the critical impact of non-neuronal cells in AD by uncovering major genetic risk factors that are found largely in these cell types. The recent development of single cell or single nucleus technologies has revolutioni… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
