🧠A vaccine against Alzheimer’s disease could be on the horizon after scientists carried out successful trials in animals.

Researchers were able to reverse memory loss in mice and are keen to move quickly to human trials

Thread 🧵👇
telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/11/1… Image
💉The vaccine trains the immune system to fight a type of sticky amyloid beta protein in the brain.

It accumulates in people with dementia, preventing communication between neurons
🔬Previous drugs to fight Alzheimer’s have also concentrated on reducing amyloid.

But they have shown little success in reducing symptoms, with some even triggering negative side effects Image

⭐️Adele’s One Night Only extravaganza proves she’s at the very top of the showbiz firmament.

It’s a very long way for a girl from Tottenham to have travelled.

But, with all the glitz and glamour it must be asked - has Adele been ‘ruined’ by Hollywood?
telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/… Image
⚖️Adele’s particular glamour has always stemmed from her ability to be both at once: the big-haired, high-glam diva, and the down-to-earth Londoner with the dirty mouth.

In the trailer she promised: “It will look really elegant, and then I’ll tell a load of filthy jokes”
While she delivered on the first part – wearing a lavish black gown for the concert and a sleek white suit for the interview – there was a sad lack of smut in the chat.

❌What we heard instead sounded suspiciously like La-La Land therapy talk

🧠 Prolonged isolation during lockdown had devastating effects on our brain health.

Social isolation has been robustly proven to hasten dementia and long-term cognitive decline.

Here’s how to reverse pandemic brain ageing 🧵👇
telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
❌ Loneliness ages us as badly as 15 cigarettes a day, or drinking a bottle of gin, according to a study at University of California, Berkley.

A 12-year Harvard study found that the thinking skills of those who said they're “lonely” declined 20% more than those who were not
🧬 Only 25% of our ageing, both physical, and mental, is determined by our DNA. The other 75% is lifestyle and our environment.

We have a lot of choice over the latter, enabling us to rebuild our brain resilience and mitigate the effects of lockdown 🔻

📸After Dr Alex George found fame on Love Island in 2018, strangers would stop him in the street. Yet something changed quite starkly last July, when his younger brother Llŷr took his own life.

🗣️“People talk to me a lot less,” says Dr George

Thread 🧵

telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
He noticed it almost immediately after his bereavement, which came out of the blue.

The day after Llŷr’s death, a friend took him for a walk on the beach in his native Carmarthenshire.

“It was like everyone just turned around and walked away and didn’t know what to say”
Dr George, who was appointed UK Youth Mental Health Ambassador in February, understands this impulse: the squeamishness that means we send cards when someone dies.

But he is a firm believer that talking is vitally important, no matter how difficult the subject
