The shingles vaccine reduced the probability of new dementia diagnoses by around one-fifth over seven years, according to a large-scale study of a population in Wales, UK, reported in Nature in April.

This finding suggests that the vaccine could be a cost-effective strategy for preventing or delaying dementia. However, further research is needed to determine whether the observed effects are truly causal and to understand how protection is conferred.

Remember this research paper?

A study published in August in Nature shows that the earliest known ankylosaurs had uniquely elaborate body armour, including a spiky ornament on their tail. These extreme armour features are unlike those of any other vertebrate, including other ankylosaurs later in their evolutionary history.

A study in Scientific Reports shows that the label-learner dogs’ ability might be based on measurable individual differences in three cognitive areas: their interest in new objects, their targeted interest in objects, and their inhibitory skills.
