Dr. Teter's research focuses on the role of apolipoproteins, particularly Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4), in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. His work investigates how ApoE4 affects neuronal aging, synaptic plasticity, and microRNA regulation in both brain and plasma environments. Key areas include genetic polymorphism influences on cognition and neuroprotective mechanisms in AD models.
Scientific trends from his publications highlight the gain-of-deleterious function in ApoE4 regarding neuronal sprouting defects and neuroplasticity impairments. His studies emphasize genetic pathways, biomarker discovery, and translational research for AD prevention and treatment.
