Astrocyte–blood–brain barrier crosstalk in cerebral small vessel disease: linking barrier dysfunction to neurovascular failure

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a heterogeneous group of disorders involving the cerebral microvasculature and is a major cause of stroke and vascular cognitive impairment. The role of blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction in CSVD is now recognized as a key pathological process; however, conventional vascular r...
