This NIH-funded research project aims to explore the role of microglial lipoprotein lipase in Alzheimer's disease, hypothesizing that increasing LPL activity can reduce amyloid-beta plaque formation and slow disease progression.
Description
Research project investigating lipoprotein lipase (LPL) as a therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease, focusing on microglial LPL's role in clearing amyloid-beta and lipoproteins to protect against disease progression.
