Abstract
Clusterin (CLU) is a recognized genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. In this issue of Neuron, Lish et al.1 found that lower CLU levels in astrocytes, caused by the CLU risk allele, heightened inflammation and reduced synaptic functions, potentially increasing risk for cognitive decline.
