Alzheimer's disease untangled

TL;DR: The development of models of AD using the APP mutations offers the possibility of identifying drug targets and developing more effective treatments than are presently available, and the precise effects of these amino acid substitutions are not understood.
Posted ContentDOI

Integration of Alzheimer's disease genetics and myeloid genomics reveals novel disease risk mechanisms

TL;DR: It is shown that AD risk alleles are specifically enriched in active enhancers of monocytes, macrophages and microglia, suggesting dysfunction of the myeloid endolysosomal system in the etiology of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI
