Researchers engineer CAR-astrocytes to target and remove amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s, showing a 50% reduction in brain ...
A single treatment of viral vector-delivered CAR-A construct in mice with existing plaque saturation cut the amount of amyloid plaques in half.
A new kind of cellular immunotherapy shows promise in preventing Alzheimer's-associated plaques from forming in the brain – ...
Researchers engineered astrocytes with chimeric antigen receptors to remove amyloid beta plaques linked to Alzheimer’s. In mouse studies, a single injection prevented plaque formation when given early ...
Researchers report that neuronal activity is necessary and sufficient for astrocytes to develop their complex shape, and interrupting this developmental process results in disrupted brain function.
