One of the most tragic things that could happen to someone is to slowly lose their memories, which is what happens to people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
Having your cognitive function, sense of self, awareness of your surroundings, and the ability to recall important events or memories in your life can be agonizing. It is disheartening.
So many scientists have been searching for a possible treatment or cure to no avail. But this mother-daughter pair may have just done it.
One very encouraging development has come out of the work done by Dr. Chang Yi Wang, PhD. Wang is a prolific bio-inventor; one of her biggest successes is developing a foot-and-mouth vaccine for pigs that has been administered more than three billion times.
In January, United Neuroscience, a biotech company founded by Yi, her daughter Mei Mei Hu, and son-in-law, Louis Reese, announced the first results from a phase IIa clinical trial on UB-311, an Alzheimer’s vaccine.
