Mechanistic description

The same signal may be beneficial early and damaging late. Testing endothelial transcytosis with pericyte-protective dosing should reveal a disease-stage interaction and define when intervention is protective versus counterproductive.

Mechanism / pathway

  1. endothelial transcytosis
  2. endothelial transcytosis
  3. neurodegeneration
