Scientists at Zhejiang University in China used menstrual blood stem cells to treat Alzheimer's.

These cells can transform into neurons and glial cells, which become damaged and die when the disease takes hold.

A recent study found that MenSCs cleared deposits of protein between neurons and improved memory in mice with the disease.

They also evaluated changes in the mice's memory function and spatial learning abilities.
