New therapeutic strategy to treat Alzheimer's

(University of Barcelona) Researchers from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBNeuro) have identified a potential therapeutic strategy to treat Alzheimer's, according to a study published in Journal of Neuroscience. The study shows, in a model of the illness in mice, that astrocytes -- a type of cells in the brain -- are able to release proteins that favour survival of neurons.
