Cerebrovascular and blood–brain barrier impairments in Huntington's disease: potential implications for its pathophysiology
Objective Although the underlying cause of Huntington's disease (HD) is well established,
the actual pathophysiological processes involved remain to be fully elucidated. In other …

Human apolipoprotein e ε4 expression impairs cerebral vascularization and blood—brain barrier function in mice
Human apolipoprotein E (APOE) exists in three isoforms ε2, ε3, and ε4, of which APOE4 is
the main genetic risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As cerebrovascular defects are …

Altered cerebral vascular volumes and solute transport at the blood–brain barriers of two transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease
We evaluated the integrity and function of the blood–brain barrier in 3xTg-AD mice aged 3–18
months and in APP/PS1 mice aged 8-months to determine the impacts of changes in …

Age-dependent regulation of the blood-brain barrier influx/efflux equilibrium of amyloid-β peptide in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (3xTg-AD)
The involvement of transporters located at the blood-brain barrier (BBB) has been suggested
in the control of cerebral Aβ levels, and thereby in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, little …
