  1. Reconstruction of the human blood-brain barrier in vitro reveals a pathogenic mechanism of APOE4 in pericytes

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Nature medicine 2020-06-08 Genetics

    In Alzheimer's disease, amyloid deposits along the brain vasculature lead to a condition known as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), which impairs blood-brain barrier (BBB) function and accelerates cognitive degeneration.

  2. Blood-brain barrier-associated pericytes internalize and clear aggregated amyloid-β42 by LRP1-dependent apolipoprotein E isoform-specific mechanism

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Molecular neurodegeneration 2018-10-19 Genetics

    Our data suggest that BBB-associated pericytes clear Aβ aggregates via an LRP1/apoE isoform-specific mechanism.
