Blood brain barrier modulation using stressed autologous blood cells

摘要

A method of alleviation, prophylaxis against or preconditioning to hinder the on-set and progression of a neuro-degenerative disorder, such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease or senile dementia, comprises treating a patient suffering from or at risk to contract such a disorder and having impaired endothelial function at the blood vessels, with autologous stressed blood cells, to improve the performance of endothelial function at the blood brain barrier towards restoration of normal endothelial function.
