A new nanotechnology treatment reversed Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice by restoring the brain’s natural cleanup system. The specially engineered nanoparticles helped clear toxic amyloid proteins from the brain and repair the blood-brain barrier, which normally protects and regulates the brain’s environment. In one striking experiment, elderly mice treated with the therapy later behaved like healthy younger mice.
If catched early enough, that could save some memories before they’re destroyed
And as the long term effects, at least in mice, look promising, I’m kinda hopeful
Was absolutely awful watching my grandmother decline - and because of that, my mother is horrifically afraid of getting dementia
I hope this can translate from mice to humans fast and we can get something similar.
Restoring destroyed neurons will probably never be possible…
But at least we can stop the decline and new memories can be stored again, and with that a kinda normal life
Sorry to hear about your grandmother, but all NIH research on this was halted in 2025 and that was 80% of worldwide efforts.
Governments do not care, anywhere.
Ah, well … Shit
