A VACCINE against Alzheimer’s disease is one step closer thanks to research from Oxford University.
Scientists work have shown how combining the tetanus vaccine with a viral particle that normally affects cucumbers can be used to treat psoriasis and allergies, and may even protect against the degenerative illness.
The vaccine was shown to raise antibody levels thought to be beneficial in preventing Alzheimer’s disease.
These vaccines can be preventative but also therapeutic, meaning they can also cure a disease like psoriasis.
