The Alzheimer risk factor CD2AP causes dysfunction of the brain vascular network
FY 2022-23
Summary
My project uncovers new roles for CD2AP in the endothelium that forms the brain vessels. We show that CD2AP is important for blood flow regulation, vasomotion and vascular reponse to toxic insults such as amyloid beta. The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories 2023 meeting: Brain Barriers regroups the best researchers in the field of brain endothelial function. The project and the conference are focussed on brain vessels. Therefore both my project and the meeting align with the mandate' of the Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (ICRH).
