Gaining clarity on these mechanisms will be critical for developing therapies based on restoring PIP2 or directly targeting Piezo1 to improve neurovascular health in dementia and related vascular disorders.

From Science Daily

This is all the more true as "we were able to show that the risk of stroke associated with high night-time temperatures increased significantly in the period 2013 to 2020 compared to the period 2006 to 2012," as Prof. Michael Ertl, head of the Stroke Unit and the neurovascular working group at Augsburg University Hospital, emphasizes.

These integrated organoids recreate many of the complex neurovascular interactions observed in the human brain, but they are not complete models of the brain.

From Science Daily

"Lack of an authentic human BBB model has been a major hurdle in studying neurological diseases," says lead corresponding author Ziyuan Guo, PhD, "Our breakthrough involves the generation of human BBB organoids from human pluripotent stem cells, mimicking human neurovascular development to produce a faithful representation of the barrier in growing, functioning brain tissue. This is an important advance because animal models we currently use in research do not accurately reflect human brain development and BBB functionality."
