Fibronectin mediates APOE4-driven blood–brain barrier dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
Blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is an early feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and is particularly pronounced in individuals carrying the APOE ε4 allele, but the mechanisms linking APOE ε4 to BBB failure remain unclear. Here we show that astrocyte-derived fibronectin (FN1) is a key mediator of apolipoprotein E4...
