Apolipoprotein E Promotes β-Amyloid Trafficking and Degradation by Modulating Microglial Cholesterol Levels

Background: Intracellular Aβ degradation is enhanced in the presence of apoE. Results: Lowering cellular cholesterol levels facilitates intracellular trafficking of Aβ to lysosomes and enhances its degradation. Conversely, increasing cholesterol levels retards the delivery and inhibits degradatio…
