We examine cells within the neurovascular unit in the context of central nervous system diseases. Through translational research, we explore how neurovascular cells’ responsiveness and adaptability and the blood-brain barrier’s permeability influence neuroinflammation, exacerbating changes in neuronal function over time. Our approach integrates in vivo and in vitro laboratory studies with clinical investigations to understand the underlying mechanisms and assess peripheral blood biomarkers associated with dysfunction in the neurovascular unit.
