Age-related vascular cognitive impairment: role of endothelial senescence
Description: NARRATIVE The human brain is supplied by 600 km of vessels where each neuron has its supplying microvessel. Aging impairs functionally and structurally the cerebromicrovasculature and thus induces consequential neuronal dysfunction and cognitive impairment. Endothelial senescence, as a damage response in aging, might contribute to impaired cerebral microvascular function and structure and by selective elimination of senescent cells offers new targets for prevention and treatment of age-related cognitive impairment.
