I read the same article yesterday and put a bookmark on it. If it significantly reduces neuro-inflammation, it sounds positive. Xenon is an asphyxiant, which means that it can reduce the amount of oxygen in the body when breathed in higher amounts. I would have to wonder if taking even small amounts of the gas over a long period of time would have serious side effects. Their proposed clinical trial should give them insight into this.

Thanks for sharing. This seems like a totally "out of the box" one, going after it in an entirely different approach from recent new treatments. Looking forward to hearing about phase 1.

yep, here’s another article: https://www.statnews.com/2025/01/15/alzheimers-research-new-study-xenon-gas-boost-brain-immune-cells-science-translational-medicine/

Xenon is already used as an anesthetic and for brain repair after loss of oxygen.
