Abstract

Conflicting clinical studies have reported that statins both reduce and accelerate cognitive impairments in Alzheimer's disease. In this issue, Van der Kant et al. (2019) use iPSC-derived neurons to thoroughly dissect the link between cholesterol synthesis, phospho-Tau, and amyloid-β, revealing new therapeutic opportunities in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Inc.
