SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY PSYCHOLOGY FEEDTITLE: A major Alzheimer’s risk gene may shrink brain cells years before symptoms
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260821012234.htm
Researchers have uncovered a possible reason why the Alzheimer’s risk gene APOE4 can disrupt the brain long before memory problems begin. In mice, APOE4 increased a protein called Nell2, shrinking neurons and making memory circuits unusually active. That early hyperactivity predicted worse memory later in life. Reducing Nell2 in adult mice reversed the abnormal changes, raising hopes for a new way to intervene before Alzheimer’s progresses.

A HS student emailed me out of the blue to do an interview as part of her capstone project on #Alzheimer's. I spoke w/her about #brain science & #caregiving. She's 18, her family has the #APOE4 gene - a risk factor for the disease - & she will study neuroscience to find a cure for Alzheimer's. She's smart, determined, & I had chills listening to her story and her passion. The senseless, fascistic #NIH cuts are imperiling the potential, the future of people like her, & our own.

A long-awaited AlzForum's take on the news that ApoE4 homozygotism means in fact an AD pathology (though not necessarily dementia before death), https://www.alzforum.org/news/research-news/do-two-apoe4-alleles-always-mean-alzheimers
The comments-section gives a glimpse of some of the trenchlines regarding the treatment of dementia, but I guess the prevention-camp has only just been strirred up from their Sleeping Beauty's slumber.
I, as an example, still have only a 1 % measured risk of acquiring AD, according to some widely used screens, and no "preventable risk factors" except maybe age. Too bad, my genetic inheritance seems to have been enough to skew the Amyloid-Beta balance early on. Luckily, I was recruited to the aducanumab-study for four years (a precursor of lecanemab with more severe side-effects), and probably got some more years to be able to think things like these.

#Alzheimer-Forschung und die Entdeckung der Bedeutung des #APOE4 Gens: >>[...]die Ergebnisse würden die Art und Weise ändern, wie Forscher über Alzheimer denken und wie sie die Krankheit erforschen. Sie verankerten APOE4 »als kausalen Faktor von Alzheimer, und nicht nur als Risikofaktor.« Es sei dringend notwendig, ein Medikament zu entwickeln, das speziell darauf abziele.
Alfredo Ramírez, Leiter der Sektion Molecular Neuropsychiatry an der Uniklinik Köln, überzeugen die Ergebnisse: »Es gibt nicht mehr viel zu tun, um APOE4 als monogene Form der Alzheimer-Krankheit zu betrachten.« Als monogen werden Erkrankungen bezeichnet, die durch eine Mutation in einem einzelnen Gen ausgelöst werden, bekannt sind sie auch als Ein-Gen-Krankheiten. Es müsse aber unter anderem noch korrekt bestimmt werden, wie hoch für Menschen mit zwei APOE4-Genen die Wahrscheinlichkeit tatsächlich sei, an Alzheimer zu erkranken.<< https://www.msn.com/de-de/gesundheit/other/alzheimer-menschen-mit-dieser-mutation-bekommen-die-krankheit-fast-immer/ar-BB1lXwle?ocid=Bing -
