Nearly a million UK lives devastated by dementia, with no current NHS treatments to halt its progression. But research is our path forward. #ForACure #Dementia #Research #BrainHealth

Is targeting amyloid enough to halt Alzheimer's? Recent anti-amyloid drugs show promise but only slow decline by ~30%. Emerging research suggests lysosomal dysfunction may be an earlier target. "The disease starts inside the cell, rather than outside."  zurl.co/M7TSx

New study: 40% of participants declined to learn their Alzheimer's risk despite initially wanting to know. Without effective preventative treatments, is knowing your risk helpful or harmful? zurl.co/pjGk6 #DementiaResearch

1 in 3 people with dementia in the UK have no diagnosis, yet 91% say diagnosis brings benefits. This #DementiaActionWeek, our Great Minds register is helping research for earlier detection. #DPUK zurl.co/M1qbr

Could dementia be diagnosed through a simple blood test? Prof Vanessa Raymont from University of Oxford is co-leading the READ-OUT study, which is assessing blood tests to detect different types of dementia. Find out more: news.joindementiaresearch.nihr.ac.uk/improving-earl… #DementiaActionWeek

Communication changes are key early indicators of dementia. #DPUK supports research into these language symptoms, helping develop better assessment tools. Recognising these signs early can lead to timely diagnosis and support. #DementiaActionWeek #KnowTheSigns

Re-purposing existing drugs could offer faster treatments for dementia. With 1 in 3 undiagnosed in the UK, we need solutions ready when people seek help. #DPUK
