BACKGROUND: Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) frequently present with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), characterized by the accumulation of beta-amyloid (Aβ) within the cerebral blood vessels, leading to cerebrovascular dysfunction. Pericytes, which wrap around vascular capillaries, are crucial for regulating cerebral blood flow, angiogenesis, and vessel stability. Despite the known impact of vascular...
