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
- endothelial transcytosis
- endothelial transcytosis
- neurodegeneration
