(Worthy News) – An experimental vaccine that could hold off Alzheimer’s disease showed promising results in animal testing, according to researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

There has been research in monkeys and rabbits as well, and the researchers hope the vaccine will progress to human trials. [ Source: USA Today (Read More…) ]
