Dementia patients' memories could be restored with injection that suppresses specific enzymes, study on mice suggests
The findings from the study could potentially help to counter memory loss which is a significant marker of the disease
Mice who had dementia had their memories restored after receiving an injection which managed to suppress specific enzymes, revealed a new study. Researchers have shared that the results could have groundbreaking implications for human beings.
According to researchers, the findings potentially make it possible to counter memory loss, which is a significant marker of the illness at a much later stage.
After they injected the rodents with dementia, the University of Buffalo scientists observed a "dramatic" shift in the rodents' recognition memory, spatial memory, and working memory. These findings were published in the journal 'Brain', as reported by Daily Mail.
