Our new preprint with @ciernialab.bsky.social we investigated transcriptional profiles of microglia (❤️the name) from hAPOEe4/3 female/male mice in HPC &CTX. We saw loads of sex x genotype interactions in both regions Cell cycling, ER stress, lipid metabolism ++ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Sex and APOE Genotype Differentially Shape Microglial Transcriptomic Profiles Across the Hippocampus and Cortex
Female sex and the APOEε4 allele are top risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Microglia play a role in the pathogenesis of AD, yet how sex and APOE genotype affect microglia remain poorly unders...
