Cell-autonomous effects of APOE4 in restricting microglial response in brain homeostasis and Alzheimer’s disease
Microglial involvement in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology has emerged as a risk-determining pathogenic event. While apolipoprotein E (APOE) is known to modify AD risk, it remains unclear how microglial apoE im...

Suppression of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Is Associated with Downregulation of Wnt1, PORCN, and Rspo2 in Alzheimer’s Disease
Wnt and R-spondin (Rspo) proteins are two major types of endogenous Wnt/β-catenin signaling agonists. While Wnt/β-catenin signaling is greatly diminished in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), it remains to be elucidate...

Peripheral apoE4 enhances Alzheimer’s pathology and impairs cognition by compromising cerebrovascular function
The ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene, a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, is abundantly expressed in both the brain and periphery. Here, we present evidence that peripheral apoE isoforms, ...

Open AccessExtensive transcriptomic study emphasizes importance of vesicular transport in C9orf72 expansion carriers
The majority of the clinico-pathological variability observed in patients harboring a repeat expansion in the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex subunit (C9orf72) remains unexplained. This expansion, which represents the most...

Open AccessTMEM106B haplotypes have distinct gene expression patterns in aged brain
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) inherited as one of two common haplotypes at the transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) locus are associated with the risk of multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including f...
