Brain Discovery Could Block Aging’s Terrible Toll on the Mindby Neuroscience News
Obstructing lymphatic vessels (in green) in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease significantly increased the accumulation of harmful plaques in the brain. “What was really interesting is that with the worsening pathology, it actually looks very similar to what we see in human samples in terms of all this aggregation of amyloid protein,” said researcher Jonathan Kipnis, PhD.NeuroscienceNews.com image is credited to Courtesy Kipnis lab.

Researchers say improving the function of lymphatic vessels can dramatically enhance memory and learning ability in aging mice.
