The brain is supplied by an elaborate vascular network that originates extracranially and
reaches deep into the brain. The concept of the neurovascular unit provides a useful …

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) plays a vital role in maintaining the specialized
microenvironment of the neural tissue. It separates the peripheral circulatory system from the …

The vast majority of the brain's vascular length is composed of capillaries, where our
understanding of blood flow control remains incomplete. This review synthesizes current …

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system (CNS) from harmful blood-
borne factors. Although BBB dysfunction is a hallmark of several neurological disorders …

The majority of the brain's vasculature is composed of intricate capillary networks lined by
capillary pericytes. However, it remains unclear whether capillary pericytes influence blood …

Pericytes are known as the mural cells in small-caliber vessels that interact closely with the
endothelium. Pericytes play a key role in vasculature formation and homeostasis, and when …

In India, increasing lifespan and decreasing fertility rates have resulted in a growing number
of older persons. By 2050, people over 60 years of age are predicted to constitute 19.1% of …

This article focuses on clinical applications of arterial spin labeling (ASL) and is part of a
wider effort from the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) …

Rationale: Pericytes are capillary mural cells playing a role in stabilizing newly formed blood
vessels during development and tissue repair. Loss of pericytes has been described in …

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most prevalent form of early-onset dementia,
affecting predominantly frontal and temporal cerebral lobes. Heterozygous mutations in the …
