Elevated levels of lipoprotein (a) is a genetic disease that causes cardiovascular disease. Steven Nissen, M.D., addresses why it’s important to find treatments for this genetic risk factor.
A study published in npj Dementia looks at apolipoprotein E genetic variants of Alzheimer’s disease. Prof Anneke Lucassen, Professor of Genomic Medicine, Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of ...
A new biophysical study why apoE and other apolipoproteins co-deposit with amyloids and provides a structural basis for understanding how apolipoproteins modulate amyloid growth and proliferation in ...
Philadelpia, January 26, 2022 – Researchers exploring dementia-related proteins in the brain identified Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) as a key misfolded protein. About 25% of individuals, and 50% of ...
In a recent study in Nature Neuroscience, researchers investigated whether the R136S genetic mutation protected against apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4)-induced late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). Study: ...
