P4‐314: Reduced cerebrovascular tight junction integrity in Alzheimer's disease is directly linked to hypervascularity and angiogenesis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A strong link between brain vascularity and Alzheimer's disease (AD) exits due to evidence of reduced blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity preceding other AD neuropatholgies. Current dogma holds that BBB leakiness in AD is likely due to vascular deterioration and apoptosis. We propose an alternative hypothesis: angiogenesis and hypervascularization underlie increased vascular permeability in AD. Cerebrovascular integrity was characterized in Tg2576 AD model mice by examining the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins (occludin and ZO-1) in conjunction with markers of apoptosis and angiogenesis. In aged AD mice, a significant increase in the incidence of disrupted TJs was directly linked to an increased microvascular density but not apoptosis, which strongly supports hypervascularity as a basis for BBB dysfunction. Our results demonstrate that AD related BBB disruption is due to neoangiogenesis, resulting in the redistribution of TJs that maintain the barrier thus providing a new paradigm for connecting vascular remodelling with AD.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
