A breakthrough in nanotechnology has shown potential to reverse Alzheimer’s disease in mice by repairing the brain’s protective barrier rather than targeting neurons directly.

Scientists reverse Alzheimer’s in mice using nanoparticles

An international team co-led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the West China Hospital Sichuan University (WCHSU) was able to reverse Alzheimer’s in mice after only 3 injections with nanoparticles.    The innovative approach to treating the disease focuses on restoring the normal function of the vasculature, rather than acting on neurons or other brain cells, as has usually been done until now. This achievement, published in the Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy Journal, is a promising step towards an effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.
