GENE THERAPY -- A NOVEL TREATMENT FORALZHEIMER'S

摘要

In a preliminary clinical trial, researchers have found tentative evidence that transplanting genetically modified skin cells into the brain might slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The small study of eight patients has shown that the innovative technique is safe to use and may reduce the mental decline that characterizes the degenerative disease. The findings were reported at the American Academy of Neurology meeting in San Francisco.
