Higher CSF sTREM2 attenuates ApoE4-related risk for cognitive decline and neurodegeneration
Molecular NeurodegenerationAbstractBackground: The Apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (i.e. ApoE4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). TREM2 (i.e. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2) is a...
