U.S., July 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07682155) titled 'Study of the Brain's Natural Cleaning System in Potential Organ Donors.' on June 18.
Brief Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a condition that affects the brain and is associated with the build-up of waste substances that can damage brain cells. Scientists have recently discovered a natural drainage and cleaning system around the brain, called the meningeal lymphatic system, which may help remove these waste products.
Researchers believe that this brain drainage system is connected to lymph nodes located in the neck. However, this connection has not yet been clearly demonstrated in humans because it is difficult to study.
