  Preeclampsia, a cause of vascular dementia in women

  This project examines why women who experience preeclampsia during pregnancy have a higher risk of vascular dementia later in life. Tiny particles from donated placentas will be tested in cell and animal models to see how they affect brain blood vessels and the blood-brain barrier. Understanding this link could help identify new ways to prevent vascular dementia.
