Summary

Story summary

A non-invasive ultrasound technique increased survival after hemorrhagic stroke by about 30 percentage points in a mouse study by clearing dead blood cells from the brain.
Treated mice showed better movement and grip strength than controls, indicating less brain damage.
The method enhances lymphatic drainage and may help treat Alzheimer's disease, with a human trial expected to begin next year.
Further research is needed to confirm safety and efficacy in humans.
