Bonn, 15th March 2010 Noradrenalin reduces inflammation in the nervous system and regulates the removal of β-Amyloid in microglial cells, this what Professor Michael Heneka and colleagues of the “Deutschen Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen” and the University of Bonn show. With this publication, the scientist show a new therapeutic approach to delay the onset of the Alzheimer`s disease. Inflammations and the aggregation of β-Amyloid are thought to be the causes of the disease. The scientists publish their results in the magazine “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences“ (online publication).
