While scientists still do not know what exactly causes Alzheimer’s disease, previous research shows there are a number of potential factors.

A new study explains how a research team was able to use a new nanotechnology strategy to reverse Alzheimer’s disease in mice with the condition.

The new nanotechnology helped reduce amyloid-beta in the mice’s brains by 50-60%.

Researchers continue to look for new ways of treating and possibly even reversing Alzheimer’s disease — a type of dementia affecting an estimated 55 million people worldwide as of 2020.

While scientists still do not know what exactly causes Alzheimer’s disease, previous research shows there are a number of potential factors including genetics , age , and the build-up of certain proteins in th
