Abstract

Blood vessels are the way for nutrients present outside the brain to gain access into the cerebral parenchyma. When neurons are diseased, for example by toxin exposure, reactive glial cells secrete local factors that induce microangiogenesis, probably as part of a spontaneous neuroprotective mechanism related to the increased metabolic demand. In Parkinson's disease (PD) and non human primate models of PD, nigral degeneration is associated with gliosis and microvascular proliferation. Interestingly, microangiogenesis also facilitates the entrance into the brain parenchyma of neurotoxins and harmful cytokine-releasing blood cells, both of which have been linked to neuronal cell death in PD. In the present review we discuss the potential implications of vascular-related phenomena with mechanisms of neuronal damage in PD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
