Diseñan una novedosa técnica centrada en restaurar la salud vascular con inyecciones de nanopartículas. «En una hora se han empezado a ver resultados».
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.
A new study reveals innovative nanotechnology that restored the function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to reverse Alzheimer’s in mice.
Injection of nanoparticles “reminds” blood-brain barrier to work properly, allowing brain cells to communicate again
The event, jointly organised by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Institut Químic de Sarrià (IQS), brought together leading scientists from around the world to discuss the latest advances in blood-brain barrier (BBB) research, from its fundamental biology to its role in disease and therapeutic strategies.
