Abstract:Objective
Recent evidence supports a link between increased TDP‐43 burden and the presence of an APOE4 gene allele in Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, it is difficult to conclude the direct effect of APOE on TDP‐43 pathology due to the presence of mixed AD pathologies. The goal of this study is to address how APOE isoforms impact TDP‐43 pathology and related neurodegeneration in the absence of typical AD pathologies.
Methods
We overexpressed human TDP‐43 via viral transduction in humanized APOE2, APOE3, APOE… 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.
