Clusterin Is Required for β-Amyloid Toxicity in Human iPSC-Derived Neurons

Our understanding of the molecular processes underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is still limited, hindering the development of effective treatments and highlighting the need for human-specific models. Advances in identifying components of the amyloid cascade are progressing, including the role of the protein clusterin in mediating β-amyloid (Aβ) toxicity. Mutations in the clusterin gene (CLU), a major genetic AD risk factor, are known to have...
