Since there is not even an abstract you'll have to ask your doctor if anything here will prevent your likely dementia.

Molecular map of the human blood–brain barrier reveals links to Alzheimer’s disease

A method for isolating and analysing the elusive cells of the blood–brain barrier is used to map the expression of genes in the blood vessels of the human brain. Unravelling the molecular basis of this vasculature expands our understanding of overall brain health, disease and treatment.
