    Introduction: The apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) is an established central player in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), with distinct apoE isoforms exerting diverse effects. apoE influences not only amyloid-beta and tau pathologies but also lipid and energy metabolism, neuroinflammation, cerebral vascular health, and sex-dependent disease manifestations. Furthermore, ancestral background may significantly impact the link between APOE and AD, underscoring the need for more inclusive research. Methods: In 2023, the Alzheimer's Association convened multidisciplinary researchers at the "AAIC Advancements: APOE" conference to discuss various topics, including apoE isoforms and their roles in AD pathogenesis, progress in apoE-targeted therapeutic strategies, updates on disease models and interventions that modulate apoE expression and function. Results: This manuscript presents highlights from the conference and provides an overview of opportunities for further research in the field. Discussion: Understanding apoE's multifaceted roles in AD pathogenesis will help develop targeted interventions for AD and advance the field of AD precision medicine. Highlights: APOE is a central player in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. APOE exerts a numerous effects throughout the brain on amyloid-beta, tau, and other pathways. The AAIC Advancements: APOE conference encouraged discussions and collaborations on understanding the role of APOE.

    Harnessing diversity to study Alzheimer's disease: A new iPSC resource from the NIH CARD and ADNI
    (Elsevier, 2024) Screven, Laurel A.; Pantazis, Caroline B.; Andersh, Katherine M.; Hong, Samantha; Vitale, Dan; Lara, Erika; Ku, Ray Yueh; Heutink, Peter; Meyer, Jason; Faber, Kelley; Nho, Kwangsik; Saykin, Andrew J.; Foroud, Tatiana M.; Nalls, Mike A.; Blauwendraat, Cornelis; Singleton, Andrew; Narayan, Priyanka S.; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine
    The iDA Project (iPSCs to Study Diversity in Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's Disease-related Dementias) is generating 200 induced pluripotent stem cell lines from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative participants. These lines are sex balanced, include common APOE genotypes, span disease stages, and are ancestrally diverse. Cell lines and characterization data will be shared openly.
