Can immune cell ‘couriers’ deliver Alzheimer’s therapy?
Can immune cell ‘couriers’ deliver Alzheimer’s therapy? Researchers at University of California, Irvine have created “living cellular couriers” called microglia that can deliver disease-fighting proteins to specific areas of the brain, potentially improving treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders. The microglia cells were engineered using CRISPR gene editing to secrete an enzyme that […]

Bird brain discovery could lead to earlier Alzheimer’s diagnoses
Bird brain discovery could lead to earlier Alzheimer’s diagnoses Researchers studying the brains of songbirds have found that aging alters the gene expressions that control the birds’ song. The finding could lead to earlier diagnoses and better treatments for human neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, which are known to hinder vocal […]
