Nose Spray Therapy Targets Brain Cells in Alzheimer’s Mice

Imagine tiny delivery trucks zipping through the city streets, quickly finding their targets and delivering important cargo. That’s what it’s like when intranasally administered extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (hiPSC-NSCs) are used to treat Alzheimer’s disease in mice. In this study, researchers found that these EVs, which contain […]

A Key Protein’s Impact on Cognitive Impairment in Brain Disease

In the world of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), researchers are exploring the relationship between cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), the level of serum High Mobility Group Protein B1 (HMGB1), and cognitive impairment. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other techniques, scientists have observed that higher levels of HMGB1 are associated with more severe CMBs and greater […]

Electrical ‘Zap’ to Brain Limits Damage From Stroke

Imagine your brain has a hidden firewall that protects it from the destructive power of a stroke. Well, a recent study suggests that we might be able to unleash this natural defense mechanism through a noninvasive electrical treatment. By sending a gentle zap to the brain, researchers found that blood flow to the affected areas […]
