APOE expression and secretion are modulated by mitochondrial dysfunction

This study presents compelling evidence that ApoE is upregulated in various models of mitochondrial respiratory chain dysfunction. The work is of fundamental interest for those studying neurodegeneration and the role of ApoE in Alzheimer's disease; future work will be needed to reveal the molecular basis of this dramatic phenotype.
