Isoform-Specific Effects of Apolipoprotein E on Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Apoptosis in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC)-Derived Cortical Neurons
Hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)-induced neuronal apoptosis is critical to the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. The neuroprotective effects of apolipoprotein (ApoE) isoforms against apoptosis and the underlying m...
