A new important finding in a study led by the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom — uncovered how a disease that affects the brain’s small blood vessels contributes to dementia and stroke. The authors identified a mechanism through which blood vessel changes from CSVD (cerebral small vessel disease) harm the myelin covering of nerve fibers that carry signals between brain cells.

Dr. Sara Imarisio, head of research at Alzheimer’s Research UK — says that the findings point to "a promising direction for research into treatments that could limit the damaging effects of blood vessel changes and help [to] keep nerve cells functioning for longer."
