Researchers at Nottingham Trent University are exploring a potential cure for Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s through a novel approach using specialized microbubbles and ultrasound. This method aims to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing medications to reach the brain. Funded by £1 million from the Eranda Rothschild Foundation, the study also examines light particles to enhance natural healing. Currently, over 944,000 people in the UK have dementia, projected to exceed one million by 2030.
