Alzheimer’s is a devastating, incurable disease that affects an estimated 5.4 million American adults. But, a new study from Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia in partnership with a research team at the Institute of Molecular Medicine, and University of California, Irvine, reports that a vaccine could become available in as little as 5 years.
What we know about Alzheimer’s is that that two proteins in the brain, amyloid-beta (a-beta) and tau, play an important role; when they die they can build up into plaques and block connections between brain nerve cells (autopsies always show these plaques present in the brains of deceased Alzheimer’s patients). The vaccine would deal with the issue of protein buildup...
...Currently, researchers just want to make sure the vaccine is strong enough to be given to humans because they are fairly certain it works. Once that isn’t an issue they plan to give the vaccine as a preventative - around the age of 50.
I hate Alzheimer’s as much as the next guy, but why aren’t mainstream scientists studying how the plaque gets there and what we can do to stop its buildup, as opposed to just developing ANOTHER vaccine. Oh wait, never mind, I already know the answer to that.
