Older adults who received at least one flu vaccination were 40% less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease over the course of a four year follow up than their peers who did not receive a vaccine.
Using computational methods, researchers created artificial proteins that triggered immune responses and produced infection specific antibodies. The findings indicate it will be possible to design vaccines that contain artificial antibodies, expediting the process of vaccine development.
Researchers report a clinical trial of a personalized vaccine that targets glioblastoma brain cancer has successfully improved survival rates for patients.
From anti-vaccine rhetoric to the over-prescription of antibiotics, researchers suggest we should try to work together to improve public health, rather than socially shun those who ignore scientific evidence.
Combining a tetanus vaccine with a virus particle may prove effective as a protection against Alzheimer's. The vaccine could also be used to treat allergies and psoriasis, researchers report.
90 minutes of mild-to-moderate intensity exercise directly following a vaccine for the flu or COVID may help provide an extra immune boost.
A new treatment developed to help clear tau tangles in Alzheimer's disease is entering into early stage clinical trials.
A new study identifies a protein that may help make vaccines more effective and provide protection from diseases such as cancer.
According to a PLOS ONE study, political bias isn't all that helps shape how we perceive truth and news, trusting intuitions also plays a part.
Despite the fact papers continue to expose the misinformation linking vaccinations to autism, many people still believe there is a correlation between the two. Researchers found many people get misinformed advice from online resources with negative stances on vaccinations. While using search engines to find negative vaccine advice is common, researchers believe monitoring search results could be useful in identifying people and countries at greatest risk of vaccine misinformation.
Researchers report a new DNA vaccine prompts an immune response to proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease.
A new study reveals people who strongly believe in conspiracy theories are more likely to hold anti-vaccine attitudes.
