Protocol to assess the effects of dysfunctional human vascular smooth muscle cells on other brain cells using in vitro models of Alzheimer’s disease

Summary: Here, we present a protocol to culture primary human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) under Alzheimer's disease (AD)-like conditions, including steps for morphological characterization with microscopy. We then describe functional assays, including wound healing, transwell, cocultur...
