NEWSWEEK – Nasal sprays could revolutionize Alzheimer’s treatment by swiftly delivering brain-boosting medicine and improving cognitive function, a new study shows.
This research is the latest in recent years to show showing promising results that support nasal therapy as a potential treatment for degenerative brain conditions.
Researchers at the Mitchell Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases, University of Texas, tested a spray containing tiny lipophilic micelles (oil/fat particles that can carry substances through water) on aging mice, administering the treatment through their noses.
These findings could guide the development of more effective treatments for Alzheimer’s and related diseases.
With the global number of sufferers projected to exceed 78 million by 2030, breakthroughs like this are crucial.
Nasal sprays are a promising new treatment for Alzheimer’s because they deliver medicine directly to the brain quickly and effectively.
The intranasal solution was found to improve their cognitive function. This was achieved through the development of a confirmation-specific antibody (TTCM2)—a type which recognizes and binds to a protein only when that protein is in a specific shape or form …
