Most treatments being pursued today to protect against Alzheimer's disease focus on amyloid plaques and tau tangles that accumulate in the brain, but new research points to a novel -- and noble -- approach: using Xenon gas. The study found that Xenon gas inhalation suppressed neuroinflammation, reduced brain atrophy, and increased protective neuronal states in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. A phase 1 clinical trial of the treatment in heal…

‘Novel approach’ to treating Alzheimer’s disease discovered — it’s a gas

Daniel Hogan

A breakthrough study highlights Xenon gas as a potential game-changer in treating Alzheimer’s disease, demonstrating its ability to mitigate brain damage and improve cognitive functions in mouse models. A forthcoming clinical trial aims to test its efficacy in humans. Most current treatments for Alzheimer’s disease focus on addressing amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the [...]

Could inhaling xenon gas help treat Alzheimer’s? A new mouse study suggests it might

To assess the effect of xenon (Xe) on microglia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology, the authors designed a custom Xe inhalation chamber and treated several mouse models of AD with Xe gas. [Science Translational Medicine] Abstract

Inhaled Xenon Modulates Microglia and Ameliorates Disease in Mouse Models of Amyloidosis and Tauopathy

Inhaling the inert gas xenon could protect against neurodegeneration and offset some of the key features of Alzheimer’s disease, preclinical studies suggest. The findings in mice reveal a novel therapeutic application for this noble gas, which has been used as an anesthetic in humans since the mid-20th century and as a neuroprotectant for treating brain injuries. The results have led to a phase I clinical trial in healthy human volunteers, set t…
