How can gene therapy help treat Alzheimer's?
Gene therapy offers promising potential in treating Alzheimer's disease by targeting the underlying genetic causes of the condition. By delivering therapeutic genes to specific brain regions, gene therapy can restore normal cellular function and reduce the buildup of toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer's. This approach has the potential to slow or even halt disease progression, offering hope for those affected by this devastating neurodegenerative disorder. Additionally, gene therapy may also be used to improve cognitive function and memory in individuals with Alzheimer's, providing a potential avenue for symptom management and improved quality of life.
