Vaccine for Alzheimer’s disease

'Dr Okura and colleagues' results offer a promising step forward in the search for a workable vaccine for Alzheimer's disease. The results look very interesting as they have succeeded in producing a safe DNA vaccine that when tested on mice reduced the signs of Alzheimer's disease.

These results mean that this vaccine may be able to be tested on humans in the future. The findings support the idea that a vaccine is our best hope for fighting this devastating disease for which there is currently no cure.'
