Dr Clíona Farrell - A vascular element of Alzheimer’s: Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

  • Résumé

  • Dr Clíona Farrell, narrating her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

    Explore the lesser-known yet vital aspect of Alzheimer's disease in our latest blog from Clíona. This post gets into the complex world of amyloid-β deposition within the brain's blood vessels. Clíona is embarking on a new postdoc project focused on this area, and in this article she shares insights into how Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA) not only coexists with Alzheimer’s but also significantly impacts disease pathology and patient outcomes. Discover the implications of recent anti-amyloid therapies and why understanding CAA is crucial for future Alzheimer's treatments.
