Inhibition of platelet activation alleviates diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction via attenuating blood-brain barrier injury by Fuxing Xu, Juan Hu, Xuying Li, Lan Yang, Shiqiu Jiang, Tao Jiang, Bo Cheng, Hailiang Du, Ruiduo Wang, Yingying Deng, Wei Gao, Yansong Li, Yaomin Zhu

“…Since platelets play an important role in regulating endothelial cell barrier function and over 95 % of the circulating soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) is derived from activated platelets, we speculated that the release of CD40L from activated platelets induced by diabetes was the key mechanism that aggravated BBB injury and leaded to DACD. …”
