Researchers have discovered a new way to remove the chemical that causes Alzheimer’s from the brain. Dr. James Keaney of Trinity College in Dublin has successfully made the blood vessels in the brains of mice more leaky, thus letting out the neurotoxic amyloid-beta. They have also confirmed that our own brains employ a similar mechanism in regions where amyloid-beta is abundant. This discovery may be the first step in a new line of treatment for this tragic disease. Read more at NOVA Next.
