Unlocking the Secrets of Neuronal ApoE4 in Alzheimer’s Disease

Imagine a bustling city with different neighborhoods, each playing a specific role. In our bodies, there’s a gene called Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) that acts like a neighborhood, with three types of residents – ApoE2, ApoE3, and ApoE4. Unfortunately, ApoE4 has been identified as the troublemaker in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This mischievous resident can cause havoc […]
