APOE from patient-derived astrocytic extracellular vesicles alleviates neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder in a mouse model

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Analyzing cells from patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, researchers show transfers of patient-derived extracellular vesicles rich in the apolipoprotein APOE alleviate neuroinflammation and slow astrocyte loss in a mouse model of this severe autoimmune disease.
