Alzheimer's risk gene APOE4 may have a reversible weakness

The Alzheimer's risk gene APOE4 may actively damage brain blood vessels and sabotage the cellular systems that remove harmful proteins. Researchers were able to reverse some of these effects in experiments, revealing promising new targets for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases; the work remains at the experimental stage.
