Neutrophil stalling does not mediate the increase in tau phosphorylation and the cognitive impairment associated with high salt diet

This study shows that capillary neutrophil stalling contributes to reduced cerebral blood flow in high salt diet but not to tau phosphorylation or cognitive impairment.

Hypertension-Induced Neurovascular and Cognitive Dysfunction at Single-Cell Resolution

This study uses scRNA-seq in a mouse hypertension model to identify early molecular changes in brain cells linked to neurovascular dysfunction and cognitive impairment.

Meningeal IL-17 producing T cells mediate cognitive impairment in salt-sensitive hypertension

This study identifies meningeal IL-17-producing T cells as a key driver of cognitive impairment in hypertension, showing their role in activating brain macrophages and suggesting therapeutic targets.

Endogenous protection from ischemic brain injury by preconditioned monocytes

This paper identifies a neuroprotective subpopulation of monocytes induced by lipopolysaccharide preconditioning that reduces brain injury after stroke in mice.
