Biomolecules Webinar | Vascular Effects on Neuronal Degeneration and Cognitive Impairment, 24 June 2025
A message from the Webinar Chair:
Neurodegeneration inevitably leads to cognitive impairment, significantly altering the quality of life of those affected. Neuroinflammatory diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and stroke, are associated with memory loss caused by neuronal function impairment. During the past decade, greater attention has been paid to the vascular effects involved in cognitive decline. The topic of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia has been identified as one of the NIH’s research priorities.
Many of these neuroinflammatory responses are associated with changes in the systemic circulation and brain vasculature. Various mechanisms, stemming from the vasculature, involved in neurodegeneration and cognitive decline, have been identified and validated. However, many more questions still remain to be answered. The main reason for this is the functional complexity of the neuro-vascular unit and the number of cells that can affect vasculo-neuronal interactions during various neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.
