Researchers from the Polish Wroclaw University of Technology, along with other members of the Chalmers University of Technology believe that using lasers can cure different brain disorders without having to affect all the sensitive tissues that surround it.

The researchers believe that by using multi-photon lasers they can treat the amyloid proteins in the brain. By using this new technique, it can lessen the risk of patients being exposed to poison and other toxic elements that come with treatment processes that use a wide variety of chemicals.

According to Piotr Hanczyc from the Chalmers University, the said therapy can also potentially cure other familiar ailments like the Mad Cow Disease and Parkinson's. Hanczyc added that no one has considered the laser therapy to treat such ailments in the past, Scicast.com reports. If the discovery pushes through and becomes a success, can be considered as one of the most amazing breakthroughs in the field of medicine.

ScienceDaily stated that with the use of multi photon lasers, the need for surgery can be reduced; especially in terms of eradicating the mentioned aggregates.

Lasers have always played a major role in a wide range of industries.
