Researcher: Alzheimer’s vaccine could cut dementia in half, human trials may be next
November 24, 2018 /
An experimental vaccine that could hold off Alzheimer’s disease is showing results in animal testing, according to researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
Testing in mice has shown that the vaccine safely prevents the buildup of substances in the brain associated with the fatal disease, the team reported this week in the journal Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy.
Following previous research in monkeys and rabbits, the researchers now hope that the vaccine will progress to human trials.
