Although the pathological changes in blood vessels in SVD have been described for decades, the precise molecular defects are unclear. CADASIL is the most common inherited form of SVD and is caused by mutations in NOTCH3. We investigate the pathogenesis of CADASIL as a potential window into uncovering targetable mechanisms of vascular degeneration of the brain. M... |
