1. A synthetic apolipoprotein E(ApoE)-mimicking peptide comprising a receptor binding domain of ApoE and a lipid-associating peptide, wherein the synthetic ApoE-mimicking peptide comprises a fatty acid moiety, a ω-amino fatty acid moiety, or an acetylated ω-amino fatty acid moiety, wherein the lipid-associating peptide comprises a class A amphipathic helical domain, wherein the fatty acid moiety is a saturated fatty acid moiety, wherein the receptor binding domain of ApoE is on the N-terminus of the synthetic ApoE-mimicking peptide, and wherein the saturated fatty acid moiety [ , ω-amino fatty acid moiety, or acetylated ω-amino fatty acid moiety ] is at the N-terminus of the receptor binding domain of ApoE.
