Memory Preserver: Researchers Develop Vaccine That Could Protect Against Alzheimer’s
Researchers have engineered a vaccine using virus-like particles that target Tau tangles in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Following the administration of the vaccine, the mice developed antibodies that cleared tau proteins, with the response lasting for a month. The mice also showed improvements in memory based tests and had less brain shrinkage than their peers who did not receive the vaccine. This suggests the vaccine prevented apoptosis. Researchers hope to move the vaccine to human clinical trials in the future.... Read More...
A Pathway to a Vaccine and Drugs for Late Onset Alzheimer’s
Researchers have successfully neutralized a genetic risk factor found in up to 80% of Alzheimer's patients. The ability to neutralize ApoE4 could help in the development of a vaccine, as well as other therapeutics, for late onset Alzheimer's.... Read More...
DNA Vaccine Reduces Both Toxic Proteins Linked to Alzheimer’s
A new DNA vaccine tested in mice significantly reduces tau and amyloid beta, two proteins implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The findings, researchers say, may pave the way for clinical trials in humans with the neurodegenerative disease.... Read More...
