Boosting Lymphatic System Shows Promise in Preventing Dementia
Researchers have found a potential treatment for cognitive decline that involves boosting the lymphatic system to clear brain waste more efficiently than the body's natural processes, potentially preventing dementia by overcoming the blood-brain barrier.

Shingles Vaccine Linked to Lower Dementia Risk
A Welsh study published in Nature found a 3.5% lower dementia risk in individuals who received the shingles vaccine compared to those who didn't, suggesting that viral infections might play a more significant role in dementia than previously thought.
