RealFeedApp Scientists find new way to treat Alzheimer's disease
A new study reveals that the blood-brain barrier actively transports 92 specific proteins from the blood to the brain, acting as an intelligent supply line. This discovery could aid in developing treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
- Field
- the brain and neuroscience
- What they did
- Researchers discovered that the blood-brain barrier actively selects and delivers 92 specific proteins from the blood into the brain, rather than just acting as a physical shield.
- Why it matters
- This finding could help scientists develop new treatments for Alzheimer's disease by revealing the barrier's role as an intelligent supply line for brain health.
