**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-retinal barrier (BRB) share fundamental structural and functional similarities, particularly in their reliance on pericyte-endothelial cell interactions to maintain vascular integrity. This hypothesis centers on the critical role of pericyte dysfunction as a convergent mechanism underlying neurodegenerative diseases, with particular focus on the platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRB) and angiopoietin-1 ...
