Blood-Brain Barrier Successfully Repaired in Alzheimer's Models
Oxygen and nutrients may enter. Toxins, germs, and other substances traveling through the blood are turned away.
AI Summary
Researchers reported that they have successfully repaired a leaky blood‑brain barrier in experimental models of Alzheimer’s disease. The barrier normally blocks toxins, germs and other harmful substances in the bloodstream while allowing oxygen and nutrients to pass. In Alzheimer’s, this protective seal can become compromised, allowing unwanted material to enter the brain. The study demonstrates that restoring the barrier’s integrity is possible in the disease models.
