主 题：dysfunction drugs eventually
摘 要：Maintaining normal learning and memory functions requires a high degree of coordination between neural and vascular cells.Basic and clinical studies have shown that brain microvasculature dysfunction activates inflammatory cells in the brain,leading to progressive neuronal loss and eventually dementia.This review focuses on recent studies aimed at identifying the molecular events that link cerebral microvascular dysfunction to neurodegeneration,including oxidative/nitrosative stress,cellular metabolic dysfunction,inflammatory signalling and abnormal synaptic plasticity.A better understanding of the coupling between vasculature and brain neurons and how this coupling is disrupted under pathological conditions is of great significance in identifying new diagnostic and treatment targets for dementia for which no new drugs have been approved since 2003.
