Alzheimer's disease, xenon gas and Anesthesia

This Anesthesia Gas Could Be the Next Big Alzheimer’s Treatment
The next Alzheimer’s treatment could come from an unexpected place. In new research released this week, scientists have found evidence in mice that xenon gas might be able to help treat the neurodegenerative condition.
Gas used for anesthesia shows promise in Alzheimer's treatment: Study
A study has found a novel treatment approach against Alzheimer's disease. While the usual methods for treatment include focussing on amyloid plaque and tau tangles (targeting the protein called tau in the brain),
A Breath Away From a Cure: How Xenon Gas Could Transform Alzheimer’s Treatment
A breakthrough study highlights Xenon gas as a potential game-changer in treating Alzheimer’s disease, demonstrating its ability to mitigate brain damage and improve cognitive functions in mouse models.
Could inhaling xenon gas help treat Alzheimer’s? A new mouse study suggests it might
The gas xenon, like the other noble, or inert, gases, is known for doing very little. The class of elements, because of its molecular structure, don’t typically interact with many chemicals.
Mountain climbing and treating Alzheimer's: Could xenon gas have potential?
In a trial featuring a mouse model of Alzheimer's, scientists found that inhaling a mixture containing xenon gas helped reduce levels of brain atrophy and neuroinflammation.
‘Novel approach’ to treating Alzheimer’s disease discovered — it’s a gas
Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia — it causes memory loss, confusion, thinking problems and behavioral changes.
Xenon Gas May Protect Against Alzheimer’s Disease in Animal Models
Researchers from Mass General Brigham and Washington University have found that Xenon gas inhalation reduces neuroinflammation, brain atrophy and amyloid and tau pathologies in Alzheimer’s mouse models.
Xenon gas could protect against Alzheimer's disease: Mouse study
Most treatments being pursued today to protect against Alzheimer's disease focus on amyloid plaques and tau tangles that accumulate in the brain, but new research points to a novel -- and noble -- approach: using Xenon gas.
