This antibody and the engineered amyloid beta vaccine, called TAPAS, were then tested in two different mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.

Based on imaging techniques similar to those used to diagnose Alzheimer’s in humans, researchers found that both the antibody and the vaccine helped to restore neuron function.

They also helped to increase glucose metabolism in the brain, restore memory loss, and while they were not directly targeted, they even reduced amyloid beta plaque formation, according to the study.

New study suggests Alzheimer’s could be vaccinated against

If successful, the treatment could ‘transform the lives of many patients’
