Non-invasive MRI of blood-cerebrospinal fluid-barrier function in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease: a potential biomarker of early pathology by Charith Perera, Renata Cruz, Noam Shemesh, Tânia Carvalho, David L. Thomas, Jack Wells, Andrada Ianuș

“…However, the dynamics of this process remain unknown, mainly due to the paucity of in-vivo methods for assessing CP function. Methods We harness recent developments in Arterial Spin Labelling MRI to measure water delivery across the BCSFB as a proxy for CP function, as well as cerebral blood flow (CBF), at different stages of AD in the widely used triple transgenic mouse model (3xTg), with ages between 8 and 32 weeks. …”
