Novel delivery system transports antibodies across the blood-brain barrier in Alzheimer’s mouse model

Sometimes the best things in life come by chance, when we happen to be in the right place at the right time. Now, researchers from Japan have found a way to ensure that new medications are delivered to the right place in the body and at the right timepoint in disease progression, so that they have the best effect.

Transporting Antibodies Across the Blood–Brain Barrier to Treat Alzheimer’s Disease

Researchers have developed a new method that uses antibody fragments encapsulated in nanomicelles which can cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce levels of amyloid-beta in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer's disease.
