Vasodilator dysfunction and oligodendrocyte dysmaturation in aging white matter

Abstract

Selectively impaired vasodilator function of WM penetrating arterioles in mVBI occurs in association with aberrant differentiation of OPCs in WMI, which supports that myelination disturbances in VCID are related to disrupted maturation of myelinating oligodendrocytes. Ann Neurol 2018;83:142-152.
