Ep19: From Alzheimer’s to ALS: The Latest in Brain Immunology with John Lukens, PhD
In this episode of Curing with Sound, John Lukens, PhD, a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Virginia, shares his groundbreaking research on the connection between the immune system and the brain in combating neurological disorders. He discusses the role of focused ultrasound in enhancing immunotherapy and opening new treatment possibilities for conditions like Alzheimer's, ALS, and brain tumors.
Dr. Lukens explains how recent discoveries about the brain's lymphatic system are reshaping our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. He also details how focused ultrasound is being used to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier, allowing therapies to reach targeted areas more effectively. The conversation sheds light on how these approaches are pushing the boundaries of treatment possibilities for both neurodegenerative and cancer-related brain conditions.
