UNDATED-(77WABC)- Memory loss has been reversed in mice by injecting them with brain fluid from younger rodents – raising hope for future dementia treatments.
The Daily Mail reporting that researchers took cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) – a fluid that bathes the brain tissue and spinal cord of all vertebrates – from young adult mice (10 weeks old).
They then infused CSF – which contains several protein growth factors that aid normal brain development – into the brains of old mice (18 months old).
Worldwide, around 55 million people have dementia conditions, including but not limited to Alzheimer’s disease.
