A first-of-its-kind study led by the University of California, Irvine has revealed a new culprit in the formation of brain hemorrhages that does not involve injury to the blood vessels, as previously believed. Researchers discovered that interactions between aged red blood cells and brain capillaries can lead to cerebral microbleeds, offering deeper insights into how they occur and identifying potential new therapeutic targets for treatment and prevention.<\/p>\n

The findings, published online<\/a> in the Journal of Neuroinflammation<\/i>, describe how the team was able to watch the process by which red blood cells<\/a> stall in the brain capillaries and then observe how the hemorrhage happens. Cerebral microbleeds are associated with a variety of conditions that occur at higher rates in older adults, including hypertension, Alzheimer\u2019s disease and ischemic stroke.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have previously explored this issue in cell culture systems<\/a>, but our current study is significant in expanding our understanding of the mechanism by which cerebral microbleeds develop,\u201d said co-corresponding author Dr. Mark Fisher, professor of neurology in UCI\u2019s School of Medicine. \u201cOur findings may have profound clinical implications, as we identified a link between red blood cell damage and cerebral hemorrhages that occurs at the capillary level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
