Blocking immune cells' entry into brain slows 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 limits neurodegeneration. The findings suggest that keeping certain immune cells out of brain tissue could slow or reduce nerve cell damage, offering a possible new direction for treating neurodegenerative diseases. The study is drawing attention for pointing to a specific mechanism that could be targeted by future therapies.
Why now: A newly published medical finding suggests a potential therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases.
