  • How the biggest Alzheimer’s risk gene disrupts the process of insulating neurons

    MIT News
    October 28, 2026
    Brain cells called oligodendrocytes wrap neurons with a sheath of insulating fat called myelin to improve electrical conduction. In people carrying the APOE4 gene variant, which increases Alzheimer's risk, the cells accumulate lipid droplets. Researchers studying why also learned a way to treat them in the lab. Here, an enlarged figure from the paper shows that untreated APOE4 oligodendrocytes (left) accumulate lipid droplets (yellow), but are rescued by Gsk3b inhibition (right).
