Blocking immune cells' path into the brain limits neurodegeneration

New antibody treatment blocks immune response to prevent Alzheimer's damage

There is no treatment available today to stop the death of brain cells in neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, in which twisted clumps of a protein called tau accumulate in the brain.

Blocking Immune Cells Protects Memory and Brain Tissue in Alzheimer’s

Blocking CXCR3 on immune T cells preserved 40% more memory tissue in Alzheimer’s mice without needing to cross the blood-brain barrier.
