🧠 Scientists reverse Alzheimer’s symptoms using nanoparticles that clear brain plaque and restore memory

In an astonishing breakthrough, researchers from Spain and China have developed nanoparticles that not only remove toxic Alzheimer’s plaques from the brain — but also repair the brain’s natural defense system.

The study, published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, showed that just three injections of these “supramolecular drugs” cleared up to 60 % of amyloid-beta buildup in only one hour in mice. Even more remarkably, within six months, animals suffering from severe memory loss began behaving normally again — effectively reversing half a year of cognitive decline.

What makes this discovery stand out is its focus on the blood–brain barrier (BBB) — the brain’s gatekeeper that becomes leaky and dysfunctional in Alzheimer’s. Instead of just dissolving plaque, the nanoparticles reactivate a key waste-clearing protein called LRP1, restoring the brain’s ability to flush out harmful material naturally. This dual action improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps the brain reboot its self-healing processes.

Though still in early-stage animal testing, this research offers a bold new direction: tackling neurodegenerative diseases by repairing the body’s cleanup system — not just treating the symptoms. If these results translate to humans, they could mark a turning point in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

Tangerine essential oil is extracted by cold pressing the peels of Citrus x tangerina, a variety of mandarin orange. It offers numerous health benefits:

- Mood Enhancement & Stress Relief
Tangerine is well known for its calming and uplifting properties.

- Antioxidant Properties
Rich in limonene, terpinene, myrcene, and other bioactive compounds, tangerine helps neutralize free radicals and support cellular health.

- Digestive Support
Traditionally used to promote healthy digestion, positively influence the gut microbiota, and reduce inflammation.
Helps calm involuntary muscle contractions, which can be useful for digestive cramps.

- Skin Health
Helps improve skin appearance by supporting cell regeneration.
May assist with acne.

- Support for Respiratory System
Tangerine oil can help calm respiratory discomfort and promote easier breathing.
Its bright citrusy aroma may help clear nasal passages and reduce congestion when inhaled or used in steam therapy.

- Immune System Support
Through its antioxidant and antimicrobial actions, tangerine helps strengthen the immune response.

- Anti-cancer Properties
Research suggests that tangerine may show promise as an anti-cancer agent by inhibiting cancer cell growth and enhancing chemotherapy effects.

In partnership with Nutraceuticals Research Institute (formerly Franklin Health): A double blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized (1:1) parallel clinical trial conducted among otherwise healthy male and female children who were experiencing respiratory symptoms. The study compared inhalation of an essential oil blend from an inhaler stick containing eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, and tangerine essential oils to an identical, inert placebo.
