Vaccines potentially double as a shield against dementia

Originally Published 6 months ago — by Financial Times

A study by Oxford University suggests that certain vaccines, particularly those containing the AS01 adjuvant like Shingrix and Arexvy, may reduce the risk of dementia by boosting the immune system and suppressing viruses, with potential implications for new prevention strategies. The research analyzed health records of 430,000 people and found a significant association between vaccination and decreased dementia diagnoses, though further studies are needed to confirm the mechanisms involved.

Nasal Tract Protection: Promising Accessory Halts Covid Infection

A study led by the University of Michigan and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has found that a nasal vaccine adjuvant, which triggers a stronger immune response, can prevent COVID-19 infection in mice. The adjuvant, combined with a nanoemulsion, enhances the antibody and memory T cell response in the upper respiratory tract, where the virus proliferates. The researchers plan to conduct further studies and explore the adjuvant's potential for a universal flu vaccine.
