Both DR and AD are characterized by a number of pathological mechanisms that coalesce around the neurovascular unit, including neuroinflammation and degeneration, vascular degeneration, and glial activation. Chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance also play a significant role, leading to activation of pathological mechanisms such as increased oxidative stress and the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Understanding these common pathways and the degree to which they occur simultaneously in the brain and retina during diabetes will provide avenues to identify T2D patients at risk of cognitive decline.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Alzheimer’s disease}, keywords = {Cognitive decline}, keywords = {Diabetes}, keywords = {Neurovascular unit}, title = {Common pathways in dementia and diabetic retinopathy: understanding the mechanisms of diabetes-related cognitive decline}, doi = {10.1016/j.tem.2021.10.008}, author = {Little, Karis and Llorián-Salvador, María and Scullion, Sarah and Hernández, Cristina and Simó-Servat, Olga and Marco Delgado, Ángel José del and Bosma, Esmeralda and Vargas Soria, María and Carranza Naval, María José and Van Bergen, Tine and Galbiati, Silvia and Viganò, Ilaria and Musi, Clara Alice and Schlingemann, Reiner and Feyen, Jean and Borsello, Tiziana and Zerbini, Gianpaolo and Klaassen, Ingeborg and García Alloza, Mónica and Simó, Rafael and Stitt, Alan W.}, }
