Hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) was linked to dementia long ago, but subsequently, Alzheimer’s plaques and tangles have received more attention. A new proteome-wide association study unveils molecular links between intracranial atherosclerosis and dementia, independent of other pathologies, providing new evidence for one of the oldest suspected causes of dementia.

回顾动脉粥样硬化和痴呆症。

动脉硬化（动脉粥样硬化）很早以前就与痴呆有关，但是随后，阿尔茨海默氏症的斑块和缠结受到了更多关注。一项新的蛋白质组范围关联研究揭示了颅内动脉粥样硬化与痴呆之间的分子联系，而与其他病理学无关，这为疑似痴呆最古老的原因之一提供了新证据。
