New Astrocyte Target for Alzheimer’s Therapy

Researchers have identified a novel therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease by focusing on astrocytes, non-neuronal brain cells involved in waste removal. They found that astrocytic autophagy clears amyloid-beta (Aβ) oligomers, toxic proteins in Alzheimer’s patients, and helps restore cognitive functions.

Common muscle relaxant given via nose shows potential to treat Alzheimer’s

Dantrolene, a common muscle relaxant, shows promise in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Mice administered the drug intranasally had higher concentrations of the medicine in their brains, and for longer periods, than those who received it orally. The drug has been shown to help inhibit or slow the progression of several neurodegenerative diseases.
