New Nasal Spray Appears To Reverse Brain Ageing In 'Weeks'
HuffPost UK • • health
Key Points:
- A nasal spray has been shown to reverse signs of brain ageing in mouse trials by targeting "neuroinflammaging," with effects lasting for months after just weeks of use.
- The spray delivers extracellular vesicles containing microRNAs directly to the brain, which regulate gene and signaling pathways to reduce inflammation and improve cognitive function.
- Mice treated with the spray exhibited less brain fog, improved memory and processing abilities, and reduced oxidative stress through reactivated mitochondria.
- Researchers emphasize that while the preclinical results are promising, further studies and resources are needed to develop this treatment for human use.
- The findings hold potential importance for addressing age-related brain diseases like dementia, which are significant global health concerns.
