How Botox Toxin Enters Brain Cells

Researchers from the University of Queensland have determined how this toxin enters brain cells. And hopefully it could make it significantly safer to use. The researchers found that there's three receptors that the botox toxin needs to unlock to get into brain cells or neurons. Think of it a bit like three goons. This triple receptor combo is required. When the toxin was bound to just one alone, it wasn't able to sneak in. Which if you think about it, makes sense. If you kill one goon, there's still two goons on the door, you know? Basic goon math.
