Line Mathilde Brostrup Hansen talks about effects of age and sex on stroke outcomes in a mouse model (slight change from poster). After ischemia-reperfusion, older mice did worse - and sex needs to be taken into account. #CTH2024

Hot Topic Poster presentation by Jacqueline Condrau on endothelial injury: microglia enwrap the injured capillary but this is not necessary for capillary repair. Neither were pericytes and astrocytes🤯. Answer? Neighbouring endothelial cell extensions.

Great talk by Yamei Tang on radiation-induced brain injury. Pericytes are extremely sensitive to radiation: Reduced pericyte coverage, signs of mural cell damage. Thalidomide treatment salvaged pericytes, capillaries, BBB integrity, neuronal function in mice🤩
Enormous translational potential!

Franca Schmid presents amazing model findings that increase our understanding of the importance of collaterals and of what happens after pericyte loss and capillary occlusions.
Take home from modeling talks: we need more detailed images of microvascular trees - especially in deep cortex layers.
