BREAKTHROUGH IN ALZHEIMER’S TREATMENT: NEW DRUG DEVELOPED BY RESEARCHERS IN EL PASO
A team of researchers in El Paso, USA, has made a groundbreaking discovery in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. According to a recent article in “Environmental Research”, the team, led by Jyotish Kumar, has successfully developed a drug using an active ingredient from carbon quantum dots based on caffeic acid.
One of the major challenges in Alzheimer’s research has been the ability to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier, but the caffeic acid in the newly developed drug has proven to be effective in doing just that. This breakthrough means that the drug is able to protect nerve cells from cell stress caused by proteins and free radicals, offering new hope in the treatment of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
The significance of this discovery has also been recognized on a global scale, with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry being awarded to Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus, and Alexi Ekimov in October 2023 for their research into the discovery and synthesis of quantum dots. Quantum dots have a wide range of applications, particularly in semiconductor technology, screens, photovoltaic systems, and quantum computers, making them an invaluable tool in various domains.
The development of this new drug marks a major advancement in the field of Alzheimer’s research and has the potential to significantly impact the lives of millions of people affected by neurodegenerative diseases. The researchers in El Paso have opened up new possibilities in the treatment of these debilitating conditions, offering hope for a brighter future.]
