Beta-amyloid plaques are known to cause Alzheimer's disease. The finding suggests new ways to treat neurodegenerative illnesses including Alzheimer's disease. Light-induced treatments using organic photosensitisers have advantages to managing the treatment in time and area.
In the case of cancer treatments, doctors use photodynamic therapies where a patient is injected with an organic photosensitiser, and a light is shed on the patient's lesion. However, such therapies had never been employed to treat neurodegenerative diseases.
