Endothelial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease: Is endothelial inflammation an overlooked druggable target? (2024)
Journal Article
Ritson, M., Wheeler-Jones, C. P., & Stolp, H. B. (2024). Endothelial dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease: Is endothelial inflammation an overlooked druggable target?. Journal of Neuroimmunology, 391, 578363. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneuroim.2024.578363

Neurological diseases with a neurodegenerative component have been associated with alterations in the cerebrovasculature. At the anatomical level, these are centred around changes in cerebral blood flow and vessel organisation. At the molecular level...
