Blocking immune cells' entry into brain limits neurodegeneration
Original: Blocking immune cells’ path into brain limits neurodegeneration
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine report that blocking the route immune cells use to enter the brain can limit neurodegeneration. The findings suggest a potential therapeutic strategy for diseases like Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative conditions, by preventing inflammatory immune cells from crossing into brain tissue and damaging neurons.
Why now: New research from WashU Medicine points to a promising approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
