d through the blood brain barrier is a new medical discovery. Some tests have already been conducted to examine if the male cells are deleterious or beneficial. Amazingly what they have found is male microchimerisms in the female brain might cause increased immunity to Alzheimer's disease!This is a fascinating medical discovery. Although the research is new and needs more work, it encourages future study and experimentation in microchimerism cells. It would be awesome if one day these cells could be used to create vaccines or drugs to cure diseases such as Alzheimer's.
After reading the original article in addition to this post, I am still somewhat confused as to what crossing the "blood brain barrier" means; however, I think this is a very interesting subject because I never knew it was possible to contain 2 separate DNA's after a pregnancy (I have heard of cases where twin embryos would conjoin during growth and the resulting fetus would have the DNA of each embryo). I think it would be very intriguing to follow any studies that might arise from this to see if any new discoveries will prevail from it.
