Researchers Fix Genetic Risk Factor of Alzheimer's in Human Brain Cells

Using human brain cells, scientists at the Gladstone Institutes discovered the cause of--and a potential solution for--the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, a gene called apoE4.

The research is in Nature Medicine. (full access paywall)

Study shows why people with the ApoE4 gene are more susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease. Thoughts health innovators? For decades, scientists have known that people with two copies of a gene called apolipoprotein E4, or ApoE4, are much more likely to have Alzheimer's disease at age 65 than the rest of the population.

Study shows how Alzheimer's risk gene disrupts memory replay. Thoughts health innovators?

It is known that one of the earliest sites of Alzheimer’s disease pathology is the hippocampus, a brain structure critical for the learning and memory processes that falter early in Alzheimer’s disease.  The apoE4 gene creates a protein of the same name that markedly increases a person’s risk for Alzheimer’s disease and occurs in 65%-80% of people with Alzheimer’s disease.  ApoE4 protein is the…

Study identifies gene variants which protect older adults from neurodegeneration.

Study identifies gene variants which protect older adults from neurodegeneration. Thoughts health innovators?

The standard model of natural selection predicts that once the age of reproduction ends, individuals die. That’s because selection early in life strongly favors variants that benefit reproductive success, even at the cost of negative consequences late in life, one major reason humans age. This is indeed the case in almost all vertebrates. Humans are an exception to this rule, living decades…
