Researchers slow neurodegeneration in mice by barring T cells from the brain
A new study in mice led by Washington University in St. Louis researchers suggests that stopping certain immune cells from entering the brain could limit neurodegeneration.
Researchers have made progress in slowing neurodegeneration in mice by preventing T cells from entering the brain. According to a report in STAT News, scientists have found a way to bar these immune cells from reaching the brain, potentially mitigating the effects of neurodegenerative diseases. The research, conducted on mice, suggests that this approach could lead to new therapeutic strategies for conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
