- Scientists reverse Alzheimer’s in mice with breakthrough nanotechnology
Scientists have developed a nanotechnology treatment that reversed Alzheimer's symptoms in mice by restoring the brain's natural cleanup system and clearing toxic amyloid proteins. The treatment helped repair the blood-brain barrier, which protects and regulates the brain's environment. Elderly mice treated with the therapy behaved like healthy younger mice after treatment.
- This simple amino acid supplement greatly reduces Alzheimer’s damage
A new study suggests that arginine, an inexpensive amino acid, can help fight Alzheimer's disease by reducing toxic amyloid proteins in the brain and improving behavior. Researchers found this effect in animal models where oral arginine lowered harmful protein deposits and reduced brain inflammation. The discovery offers a potential simple compound to combat Alzheimer's.
