We are excited to share a new preprint from the Kizil Lab titled "APOE‑ε4‑induced Fibronectin at the blood‑brain barrier is a conserved pathological mediator of disrupted astrocyte–endothelia interaction in Alzheimer’s disease." In this study, we uncover a previously unknown mechanism by which the APOE‑ε4 allele—one of the strongest genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease—disrupts brain …

We are glad to share our first bioRxiv preprint in 2024. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss, and genetic variations in humans are key to understanding it. Our study focused on the ABCA7 gene, which is linked to Alzheimer's risk. We used CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to create zebrafish with a genetic …
