Cerebrovascular endothelial cell (EC) subtypes characterized by blood-brain barrier (BBB) properties or fenestrated pores are essential components of brain-blood interfaces, supporting brain function and homeostasis. To date, the origins and developmental mechanisms underlying this heterogeneous EC network remain largely unclear. Using single-cell-resolution lineage tracing in zebrafish, we discover a multipotent vascular niche at embryonic capillary borders that generates ECs with BBB or fenestrated molecular identity.

Bruch´s membrane (BM) is firmly connected posteriorly to the optic nerve head through the peripapillary choroidal border tissue, and anteriorly through the longitudinal ciliary muscle to the scleral spur. We assessed, whether a difference in the contractile state of the ciliary muscle influences the position of the posterior BM by lifting the posterior BM pole, i.e.

Brain macrophages in vascular health and dysfunction.

Trends Immunol

January 2025

Institute of Experimental Immunology, University of Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland. Electronic address:

Diverse macrophage populations inhabit the rodent and human central nervous system (CNS), including microglia in the parenchyma and border-associated macrophages (BAMs) in the meninges, choroid plexus, and perivascular spaces. These innate immune phagocytes are essential in brain development and maintaining homeostasis, but they also play diverse roles in neurological diseases. In this review, we highlight the emerging roles of CNS macrophages in regulating vascular function in health and disease.

Choroidal Hyperreflective Foci as Biomarkers of Severity in Stargardt Disease.

Retina

December 2024

Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical implications of choroidal hyperreflective foci (HF) as biomarkers of disease severity in Stargardt disease (STGD).

Methods: 129 eyes from 66 patients with STGD were included. The primary outcome was the correlation between the number of foveal choroidal HF and indicators of disease severity.
