Fantastic new work led by @milenevandal.bsky.social showing that loss of brain endothelial CD2AP in mice alters memory and cerebrovascular function. Interestingly, mutations in CD2AP are known to predispose to Alzheimer’s disease! #cerebrovascular
Loss of endothelial CD2AP causes sex-dependent cerebrovascular dysfunction
Vandal et al. performed a biological sex-based study on the role of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) genetic factor CD2AP in brain blood vessels. Using mouse models and human AD samples, they identified a...
