Recently, I was introduced to perivascular spaces (PVS) while studying lipopolysaccharide treated models with transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

PVS fascinates and intrigue me. I know that they are normally present in post-capillary venules and that they are a biomarker for small vessel disease (SVD) they are enlarged (EPVS) and EPVS are increased in aging.

I look forward to any input and suggestions for me as I will soon begin studying very old CD-a mice brains and I am in hopes to find some new knowledge regarding EPVS with the use of TEM.

Please make suggestions and submit any papers that you feel might be important in this future study.
