Nanocapsules in Gene Editing Therapy for Alzheimer’s

Changing the brain- nanocapsule therapy edits the Alzheimer’s gene
“Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (WI, USA) have developed a nanocapsule therapy that can bypass the protective BBB membrane and provide a brain-wide, gene-editing therapy that could be beneficial for Alzheimer’s patients one day. . . . . This nanocapsule gene therapy, which is non-invasive and repeatable, allows for the intravenous administration of treatments to the brain. The alternative to bypassing the BBB is injecting treatment directly into the brain; however, this is an invasive procedure that only offers treatment to a small portion of surrounding tissue.” MORE
