Hi there.
Recently a Scottish newspaper (The Herald) ran an article about recent research into a vaccine for AD. A man called Dr Frank LaFerla from UCI Institute for Ageing and Dementia has had an article published in the journal Neuron. I know there is a fact sheet about vaccines and I understand the difficulties surrounding this area and am aware of the false hope syndrome but I was interested as this sounded new. It seems they are looking at something which would have to be used when the disease is in the very early stages. Has anyone else heard of this? I did call up the journal article but the medical language was beyond my understanding!
