Ideally, PlGF could be used to screen younger populations for whom currently available treatments and lifestyle modifications may prevent or reverse the deleterious effects of vascular injury ...

The researchers studied possible associations involving several factors: plasma levels of PlGF, a highly sensitive research MRI measure of fluid accumulation in the brain called white matter free ...

Higher levels of this protein -- placental growth factor (PlGF) – could be a warning sign for a possible decline in brain function, researchers reported Dec. 18 in the journal Alzheimer’s ...

"PlGF could be used as a cost-effective screening tool for identifying patients at risk for vascular brain injury before the insidious onset of cognitive decline," lead researcher Dr. Kyle Kern, a ...
