Scientists reverse Alzheimer’s in mice using nanoparticles

Left-hand image:  Light sheet fluorescence microscope images of mouse brain 12h after NOT being treated with nanoparticles. The brains were analyzed to see the amount of Aβ plaques accumulation. Red: Aβ plaques. Green: vessels from the blood brain barrier. Right-hand image: Light sheet fluorescence microscope image of mouse brain 12h after being treated with nanoparticles.

A research team co-led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and West China Hospital Sichuan University (WCHSU), working with partners in the UK, has demonstrated a nanotechnology strategy that reverses Alzheimer’s disease in mice.

Unlike traditional nanomedici...
