β-Amyloid Plaque Reduction in the Hippocampus After Focused Ultrasound-Induced Blood–Brain Barrier Opening in Alzheimer’s Disease
A collaborative research group from West Virginia University, Vanderbilt University, and Weill Cornell Medical College measured the beta-amyloid plaque changes in six patients with Alzheimer’s disease who underwent multiple sessions of focused ultrasound—based blood brain barrier (BBB) opening.
NEO.LIFE recently published an article about the Focused Ultrasound Foundation and its founder Neal F. Kassell, MD.
The article notes: "It's hard to talk about promoting focused ultrasound without talking about the Foundation—and impossible to do so without focusing on Kassell, who has emerged over the last dozen years as something of an evangelist-in-chief for the technology. To listen to him talk is to hear hope vocalized—hope for the thousands and thousands of people whose lives, he says, will be saved by focused ultrasound in what he calls a coming 'revolution in therapy.'"
