I read this paper with keen interest yesterday, but also found myself uneasy with the recombinant ApoE cell treatments as noted by Sam Gandy. Following my reading of his comments today, I took another look at that paper with a different view, asking if these points diminished my initial enthusiasm. I arrived at the conclusion that even if all of the recombinant ApoE treatment studies were removed from the paper as potentially artifactual, the conclusions of the authors still stand on the basis of the differential co-expression analyses and the experiments with the human induced neuronal cultures.
