In this interview, we speak to Dr. Ethan Winkler and Dr. Tomasz Nowakowski about their latest research which illustrated the interplay between vascular and immune cells that contributes to brain hemorrhage.
In work that will enhance the study of such disparate diseases as stroke and dementia, researchers at UC San Francisco have catalogued all the cells that form the blood vessels of the human brain, along with their locations and the genes transcribed in each.
Scientists and physicians around the world are working to produce cell-level atlases of bodily organs.A new study in the journal Science extends that effort to a largely overlooked aspect of the brain: the blood vessels that move oxygen and nutrients and remove toxins and waste products.
