Pneumonia-Induced Endothelial Amyloids Reduce Dendritic Spine Density in Brain Neurons

Researchers used electrophysiological studies in brain slices and structural analysis of post-mortem tissues obtained from animals exposed to endothelium-derived amyloids. The amyloids were administered via three different routes, by intracerebroventricular, intratracheal, and intraperitoneal injections.
