Blood-Brain Barrier Successfully Repaired in Alzheimer's Models
Reported byScienceAlert ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Columbia University and other researchers have identified fibronectin, a repair protein that accumulates around brain blood vessels in Alzheimer's disease, and successfully reversed the blood-brain barrier breakdown it causes in experimental models by reducing the protein's levels.
The research is in model systems; translation to human treatment will require further clinical development.
