Xenon is one of the six noble gases. Its name derives from the Greek word for “strange”. In medicine, it has been used as an ...

Researchers uncover promising evidence that xenon gas, commonly used in anesthesia, may help reduce brain deterioration and ...

Climbers are searching for ways to climb the highest mountains in the world in shorter time periods, including the use of controversial substances.

Able to cross the blood-brain barrier, Xenon gas seemed to perk the mice right up, which began to become particularly active ...

A groundbreaking study by researchers from Mass General Brigham and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has ...

Joint first authors Wesley Brandao and Zhuoran Yin at BWH and Nimansha Jain at WashU put 3-month-old APP/PS1 mice into a chamber suffused with 30 percent xenon gas for 40 minutes (image below). Oxygen ...

The gas xenon, like the other noble, or inert, gases, is known for doing very little. The class of elements, because of its molecular structure, don’t typically interact with many chemicals.

The study found that Xenon gas inhalation suppressed neuroinflammation, reduced brain atrophy, and increased protective neuronal states in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. A phase 1 clinical ...

Xenon gas inhalation shows potential in treating Alzheimer's disease by reducing neuroinflammation, brain atrophy, and enhancing protective neuronal states in mouse models.

An inert and unreactive gas may not seem like an obvious candidate for treating Alzheimer's disease, yet a new study in mice suggests that xenon might just be the breakthrough we need. The new ...
