Summary
We are greatly honored to welcome Professor David Attwell FRS, the Jodrell Professor of Physiology at University College London, and Dr. Harvey Davis, Sir Henry Wellcome Research Fellow, for the webinar titled "Control of Blood Flow at the Capillary Level in Alzheimer's Disease and Diabetes." They discussed neurovascular dysfunction and the role of pericytes in regulating blood flow at the capillary level. (Please note that this segment of Dr. Harvey Davis's presentation has been omitted from this replay as the data has not yet been published.)
What you’ll learn:
- Imaging blood flow in peripheral nerve
- Blood flow control at the capillary level by pericytes
- Pathways regulating capillary pericyte tone physiologically
- How to prevent the fall of cerebral blood flow in Alzheimer’s disease
