APOE genotype–specific astrocyte biology has emerged as a central driver of Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegenerative risk. Recent studies demonstrate that the APOE4/4 genotype profoundly reshapes astrocyte function across multiple pathways, including lipid metabolism, neuroinflammatory signaling, and

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects almost 44 million people worldwide. The disease typically begins with memory difficulties followed by trouble thinking, reasoning and processing emotions. The cause of AD is not well understood, but there appear to be two forms: 90% of patients have a late-onset sporadic
