AGING Is targeting brain inflammation the key to beating Alzheimer's disease?
The past decade of Alzheimer's disease research has been fraught with disappointment.

Years of focus on one hallmark of the disease ultimately resulted in no progress toward treatment or prevention.

But next week, when top scientists gather in Los Angeles at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, an annual meeting, many will present research on a different target: inflammation.

"The big breakthrough is that neuroinflammation is the target. It's killing the bulk of the nerve cells that leads to dementia," said Rudolph Tanzi, a professor of neurology at Harvard University and the director of neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital.

“NurOwn® has the potential to stabilize or improve function by reducing brain inflammation, protecting the brain against ongoing damage, and activating brain repair through the delivery of repair molecules, also known as NTFs,” Kern told NeurologyLive. “This unique approach has the potential to address an important unmet need in progressive MS, for which there are few treatment options.”
