i-mTLR4-ko markedly reduced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress and attenuated white matter degradation following DEP and CCH exposures. This suggests a potential role for targeting TLR4 signaling in individuals with vascular cognitive impairment, particularly those exposed to substantial ambient air pollution.
