Biologists substantially degraded Alzheimer’s plaques in mice brains and human brain tissue by sending a fused protein across the blood-brain barrier.
Getting drugs across the blood-brain barrier is normally really hard. And curing Alzheimer’s is a huge plank in any platform for curing aging in general. So I hope this is one of the rare studies that eventually hops the gap from mice models to effective human treatment.
