New Molecular Signatures Found for Alzheimer’s Disease

Researchers identified unique molecular signatures of blood-brain barrier dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease. They discovered altered communication between brain vascular cells mediated by VEGFA and SMAD3 molecules. These findings could lead to new diagnostic biomarkers and treatment options for Alzheimer's.
