Lower LDL Cholesterol Significantly Reduces Dementia Risk: Large-Scale Study
A study of almost 109,000 people found that lower LDL cholesterol levels were associated with a 26% lower risk of dementia and a 28% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease; statin use further reduced the risk.

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.

Ancient Sahara DNA Reveals Isolated Population
Complete DNA from two 7,000-year-old female skeletons unearthed in a Libyan cave reveals a previously unknown population that lived in isolation for millennia in the Sahara, despite evidence suggesting some cultural exchange with other groups.

Insect Decline: Data Gap Hinders Accurate Assessment
A new study reveals that while some insect populations, such as bees and butterflies, are declining, it's too early to declare an insect apocalypse due to a significant lack of data on most species, particularly in Asia, Africa and South America.

Insect Decline: A Critical Knowledge Gap Hinders Conservation Efforts
A new study reveals that while 20% of the 12,100 assessed insect species are threatened, less than 1% of all insect species have been evaluated, leaving a vast knowledge gap regarding the true scale of insect decline and necessitating a new, comprehensive assessment framework.

Windscale Fire: A Covered-Up Nuclear Disaster
The 1957 Windscale fire, Britain's worst nuclear disaster, caused by safety failures, released radioactive materials across northern England and beyond, leading to a government cover-up and an estimated 32 deaths and 260 cancer cases.

Air Pollution Accelerates Aging, Increases Atherosclerosis Risk: Study
A University of Athens study, presented at the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting, found air pollution shortens telomeres, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of atherosclerosis in 400 participants; researchers suggest cleaner transportation and urban environments as solutions.
