Abstract

Neuner et al. describe the generation and validation of the AD-BXDs, the first reproducible set of AD mouse models incorporating genetic diversity. These models recapitulate aspects of human AD and provide a new resource to identify genes and pathways associated with risk and resilience to AD.
