Can Nanotechnology Help in Preventing Alzheimer's?
Preventive strategies using nanotechnology are still in the early stages but hold significant promise. For example, nanovaccines that target amyloid-beta or tau proteins are being explored. These vaccines could potentially prevent the formation of these toxic proteins, thereby stopping the disease before it starts. Additionally, nanoparticles could be used to deliver antioxidants or anti-inflammatory agents directly to the brain, reducing the risk factors associated with Alzheimer's.
