Dr. Lynch's postdoctoral research focused on age-related vascular changes in the brain (blood-brain barrier) which makes the brain more vulnerable to further insult e.g. head injury, neurodegenerative diseases. More recently her interests have been on strategies to optimise health into older age, such as engagement in physical activity using technology incorporating behavioural change principles, which has been shown to ameliorate cardio-metabolic factors known to increase the risk for chronic diseases.

• Title

  The impact of age and neuroinflammation on the blood-brain barrier and neurovascular unit
  Summary

  Our findings provide evidence of a structurally and functionally disrupted blood-brain barrier (BBB) with age. IL-1beta signalling mediates the tight junction protein disruption, as evidenced by the increased tight junction expression in aged IL-1R1-/- mice. This may be partially facilitated by its action on matrix metalloproteinases and via signalling through the ERK-MAPK pathway. Such age-related BBB disruption may facilitate the entry of potential neurotoxins into the brain, probably exacerbating neuronal damage with increasing age.
