  "summary": "Bacterial meningitis can cause severe brain damage even when patients receive antibiotic treatment promptly. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have developed tiny biological vesicles that, in animal studies, were able to capture bacterial toxins, protect neurons, reduce inflammation and delay disease progression. The findings are published in the journal Journal of Extracellular Vesicles.",
