Scientists at Queensland Brain Institute find noninvasive technique slows progression of Alzheimer's disease in mice
Australian researchers say they have made a promising step in the future treatment of Alzheimer's disease after discovering ultrasound can effectively and safely deliver drugs to the damaged brain.
Scientists at the Queensland Brain Institute found the noninvasive technique successfully penetrated the blood-brain barrier to deliver a therapeutic antibody to the brain. This then slowed the progression of Alzheimer's disease in mice, according to a study published in the journal Brain.
