Geetika’s paper on “Cognitive decline, Aβ pathology, and blood-brain barrier function in aged 5xFAD mice” accepted by FBCNS

Alzheimer’s disease patients develop blood-brain barrier dysfunction to varying degrees. How aging impacts Aβ pathology, blood-brain barrier function, and cognitive decline remains largely unknown. In this study, we used 5xFAD mice to investigate changes in Aβ levels, barrier function, and cognitive decline over time. Congratulations on your first author publication, Geetika!
