An Alzheimer’s Vaccine: Not far From Becoming Reality

The prevalence of Alzheimer’s is 50% to 75%, mainly affecting people aged ≥ 65 years.

The answer is that Alzheimer’s targets the brain cells at an early age and produces signs or symptoms after many years.

These brain cells are involved in many important bodily functions such as thinking, learning, remembering, sleeping, hearing, smelling, etc.

This results in destroying the chain executing other related tasks.

So, that treatment is still required, which can treat the disease in better ways or prevent it from developing or even delay its onset.

This vaccine was initially tested on small animals, i.e., baboons and macaques, and then on adult macaques, which helped to evaluate that this vaccine boosts the immune system of the animals and produces proteins which prevent the harmful toxic effects of beta-amyloid protein deposits and also remove these deposits from the brain cells.
