Protein derived from corn boosts memory in mice with Alzheimer’s
Among the many ways scientists hope to be able to tackle Alzheimer’s is by preventing it from taking hold in the first place, or at least averting its worst effects. This idea of a vaccine for Alzheimer’s is gaining traction as scientists continue to devise new ways of clearing the brain of toxic proteins hypothesized to be key drivers of the condition. A newly published study has hinted at further possibilities in this area, with a protein derived from corn used to induce an immune response and improve memory in mice with the disease.
