Association of Perivascular Localization of Aquaporin-4 With Cognition and Alzheimer Disease in Aging Brains

Abstract

In this study, altered AQP4 expression was associated with aging brains. Loss of perivascular AQP4 localization may be a factor that renders the aging brain vulnerable to the misaggregation of proteins, such as amyloid-β, in neurodegenerative conditions such as AD.
