They had used a red laser that was used previously to deliver directly into the cell of anti-cancer drugs.
Scientists from the University of Ulm in Germany, decided to try out this method in the fight against beta-amyloid deposits in the brains of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
These deposits are formed of abnormally folded peptides that interfere with the process of "dialogue" between the synapses of the brain.
These "noise" and provoke memory loss and other symptoms. The researchers developed a method based on the interaction of laser red light and green tea extract.
EGCG (green tea extract), activated with red laser light, able to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and cause inhibition of beta-amyloid operation and effects of the beam reduces the deposition of plaques by 20%.
A technique developed by scientists has led to a decrease in the number of cells of beta-amyloid in the sixty percent.
