Mouse Study Suggests Xenon Gas May Treat Alzheimer's Disease, Reduces Inflammation
Jan 15, 2025, 07:42 PM
A recent mouse study has explored the potential use of xenon gas as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. The research indicates that inhaling xenon may modulate brain microglia and reduce inflammation, presenting a novel approach to combating the disease. The authors of the study, published in the journal 'Science', describe this method as an 'out of the box approach' that could offer a 'ray of hope' if validated through clinical trials. Additionally, another study highlighted the benefits of aerobic exercise in reducing brain inflammaging, particularly in the hippocampus, suggesting that lifestyle interventions may also play a role in Alzheimer's management.
