Abstract
BBB dysfunction during aging is characterized by an increase in its permeability and phenotypic alterations of brain endothelial cells (BECs) including dysregulation of tight junction's expression. Here we have investigated the role of BEC senescence in the dysfunction of the BBB. Our results suggest that the transition from young to aged BBB is mediated, at least in part by BEC senescence.
期刊介绍:
Aging Cell, an Open Access journal, delves into fundamental aspects of aging biology. It comprehensively explores geroscience, emphasizing research on the mechanisms underlying the aging process and the connections between aging and age-related diseases.
