Presence of TJ protein, claudin-5, on EVs has been previously described in mice during neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model1,2. Further studies are required to see whether TJ presence on EVs would correlate with dementia progression.” The omitted references are provided below. References 1. Andrews, A. M., Lutton, E.
