An inert and unreactive gas may not seem like an obvious candidate for treating Alzheimer's disease, yet a new study in mice suggests that xenon might just be the breakthrough we need. The new study ...

Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. The gas xenon, like the other noble, or inert, gases, is known for ...

Most treatments being pursued today to protect against Alzheimer's disease focus on amyloid plaques and tau tangles that accumulate in the brain, but new research from Mass General Brigham and ...

Xenon gas might one day be used as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, according to researchers from Mass General Brigham and Washington University. Don’t let its alien-sounding name frighten you.

New research from Mass General Brigham and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found Xenon gas inhalation reduced neurodegeneration and boosted protection in preclinical models of ...

Inhaling xenon gas reduced neuroinflammation and brain atrophy while increasing protective neuronal states in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, found a new study. The findings were published in ...

The next Alzheimer’s treatment could come from an unexpected place. In new research released this week, scientists have found evidence in mice that xenon gas might be able to help treat the ...

Researchers continue to search for effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, which affects increasing numbers of people every year. Most Alzheimer's medications ...

Experts are hopeful that inhaling xenon gas could be a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease, as clinical trials are set to begin. Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating illness that affects not ...

Most treatments being pursued today to protect against Alzheimer's disease focus on amyloid plaques and tau tangles that accumulate in the brain, but new research from Mass General Brigham and ...

The gas xenon, like the other noble, or inert, gases, is known for doing very little. The class of elements, because of its molecular structure, don’t typically interact with many chemicals. But a new ...
