Deskripsi
Smyth et al. use tissue microarrays from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patient brains to show that PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling components are reduced in AD. They then use primary human brain pericytes to elucidate a pathway by which PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling in brain pericytes is disrupted in AD, thus impairing the blood brain barrier.
