Scientists reverse Alzheimer’s in mice with groundbreaking nanotech

Researchers used supramolecular nanoparticles to repair the brain’s vascular system and reverse Alzheimer’s in mice. Instead of carrying drugs, the nanoparticles themselves triggered natural clearance of amyloid-β proteins. This restored blood-brain barrier function and reversed memory loss. The results point to a revolutionary new path for treating neurodegenerative diseases.

    Meanwhile, OP posted an article at the same time saying that amyloid proteins don’t actually seem to be related to Alzheimer’s: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251111005944.htm

      That article reports that a drug targeted at clearing amyloid proteins didn’t suffice to restore the brain’s waste-clearing functionality; this article reports that a drug targeted at repairing the blood-brain barrier does restore waste-clearing functionality (including amyloid proteins). So they’re not completely contradictory.
