... MMP10 could be released by endothelial cells derived from the BBB, regulating the activation of brain-derived growth factors, enzyme degradation, and extracellular matrix remodeling, all of which are essential for the integrity of the BBB, neural network repair, and tissue formation [42,43]. It has been reported that in AD, Aβ disrupts the integrity of the BBB by activating MMP10, and the overexpression of MMPs degrades tight junction proteins, damages endothelial cells, leading to excessive opening of the BBB, thereby exacerbating neuroin ammation and neurotoxicity [44]. This leads to an increase in the number of aged astrocytes, causing synaptic dysfunction, neuronal damage, and ultimately neuronal death [45,46]. ...
