A promising breakthrough from is bringing new momentum to the fight against Alzheimer’s.

Researchers have developed an innovative nasal spray designed to target harmful tau protein buildup, a key driver of cognitive decline. By delivering therapeutic antibodies directly to the brain, this non-invasive approach may help improve cognitive function while overcoming traditional treatment barriers.

While still in early stages, the findings signal meaningful progress toward more effective treatments.

"Breakthroughs will come from understanding the root causes of dementia.” — Dr. Huda Y. Zoghbi

Across Texas, scientists are working to translate discovery into treatment. With support from DPRIT, researchers are exploring ways to reduce harmful tau proteins, a key factor in many forms of dementia, and accelerate therapies from the lab to patients.

When state investment meets world-class research, the path toward prevention and treatment becomes stronger. This is what progress looks like, and why continued support for neurological research matters now more than ever.

Photos can be a powerful tool for connection in dementia care 📸. Looking through familiar images often encourages reminiscence, reduces anxiety, and creates moments of comfort even when words are hard to find.

A simple photo book, organized around meaningful life moments and familiar faces, can help spark conversation and provide reassurance 📽️🩵. The focus is not on remembering perfectly, but on sharing time and connection in a way that feels safe.

Learn more about how photos can support reminiscence and well-being by visiting https://www.txalz.org/blog/powerofphotos/.

Dementia can look different from person to person, and understanding those differences can help families feel more prepared and more supported as questions arise.

In a recent blog post from Alzheimer’s Texas, Decoding Dementia: Understanding Alzheimer’s, Vascular, and Lewy Body Dementia, we take a closer look at what sets these conditions apart. 🧩 The article explains how each type develops, what early signs families may notice, and why factors like social connection and early detection play such an important role in long-term wellbeing.

To learn more about these conditions and how they may impact daily life, we invite you to read the full article on the Alzheimer’s Texas website at www.txalz.org/blog. 📘🔎

Gatherings, decorations, and changes in routine can sometimes feel overwhelming for someone living with Alzheimer’s. A little preparation can help create a smoother experience for you and your loved one. 🎄✨

Try choosing familiar spaces, keeping schedules as steady as possible, and adjusting gatherings to shorter or quieter formats. Simple steps like labeling rooms, reducing noise, or offering a calm space to pause can help maintain comfort throughout the day.

Alzheimer’s Texas and the DKR Fund encourage caregivers to approach this season with flexibility and to make choices that support both your loved one and yourself.

As families gather this season, it is natural to notice changes in memory, communication, or daily routines and wonder what is part of typical aging and what may point to something more.

A recent blog, Spotting the Difference: Typical Aging or Alzheimer’s?, takes a deeper look at these early signs and offers guidance from Helpline Specialist Austin McKee, LMSW. Understanding these distinctions can help families feel more prepared, more supported, and more confident in knowing when to seek additional help. 🧠
