Why is clinical evidence insufficient to establish LRP1's contribution to AD development?

OPEN

Despite 25 years of research and promising preclinical results, clinical studies haven't provided sufficient evidence for LRP1's role in AD. This translation gap limits therapeutic development targeting LRP1. Gap type: open_question Source paper: Role of LRP1 in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease: evidence from clinical and preclinical studies. (2017, J Lipid Res, PMID:28381441)
