Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Arteriolosclerotic cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is a leading cause of stroke and dementia, yet no disease-modifying therapies exist. Anti-inflammatory strategies targeting IL-6 (interleukin-6) signaling have shown efficacy in preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but their potential in arteriolosclerotic cSVD remains unexplored. We investigated whether genetically downregulated...
