4-year PhD Studentship: How does pro-angiogenic signalling contribute to the vascular dysfunction observed in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, and can this be prevented using existing therapeutics?

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Vascular dysfunction is now considered an early event in Alzheimer’s disease development (AD)(1,2). Blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakiness is detectable early in pre-clinical AD, which allows an influx of circulating toxins, impairs clearance of β-amyloid (Aβ) and reduces cerebral blood flow(3).
