NIH-funded study suggests brain blood vessel cells may be therapeutic targets for Alzheimer’s disease.   study in mice shows how a breakdown of the brain’s blood vessels may amplify or cause problems associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The results published in Nature Communications suggest that blood vessel cells called pericytes may provide novel targets for treatments and diagnoses.
