There are currently no specific strategies for the treatment or prevention of vascular dementia. White matter lesions, a common pathology in cerebral small vessel disease, are a major cause of vascular dementia. We investigated whether apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) might be a key molecule in cerebral hypoperfusion, associated with blood-brain barrier breakdown and white matter lesions.
