Study: Vaccine Slows Alzheimer's Decline
5 hours ago   
By MALCOLM RITTER, AP Science Writer

- An experimental vaccine for Alzheimer's disease slowed memory decline 
somewhat even though the research was stopped before the full treatment 
could be administered, a study suggests.[cont.]

This seems like good news. More work needs to be done of course. I 
wonder if they find that removal of the plaque does not restore total 
function than would replacement cells via stem cell therapy fill the gap?
