TEHRAN, November 22 -A new DNA vaccine suppresses the buildup of two types of toxin proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease, a study finds.
A new University of Texas Southwestern study published in Alzheimer's Research and Therapy shows that a vaccine with DNA coding injected into lab mice reduced buildup of beta-amyloid by 40 percent and tau by 50 percent. Alzheimer's contains both of those proteins.
