Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is the most prevalent cause of dementia, with no effective treatment thus far. It clear that tau protein hyperphosphorylation major pathogenic process, leading to neurodegeneration upon AD. has been previously shown phosphorylation at Thr231 crucial importance in tauopathy process. was reported pT231-tau cis conformation early driver pathogenicity mouse models. In this study, we identified gauche P-tau pathology (a novel conformer) human postmortem brain tissue and as well induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived neurons from AD patients neurotoxic conformer. We observed levels dramatically increase under aging stress which disrupts microtubule network, propagates other neurons, ultimately leads apoptosis death.

Our study aimed to explore the impact and mechanism of Euonymus alatus leaf extract on age-dependent oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, progressive memory impairments in aged mice. Twenty-four-month-old mice received EA-L3 (300 mg/kg/day) or reference drug, donepezil (DPZ, 5 mg/kg/day), for 6 weeks, learning functions were detected using Passive Avoidance Test (PAT). As expected, cognitive function deficits compared with young mice, these significantly mitigated by dietary treatments EA-L3. In parallel, it upregulated brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) subsequently activated extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK)/cAMP response element-binding (CREB) signaling mouse hippocampus scopolamine-induced B35 SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. showed strong anti-inflammatory effects decreased NF-κBp65, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-α), increased interleukin (IL)-10, doublecortin (DCX) protein expression Similar results also confirmed LPS-induced BV-2 microglia cells upon treatment extract. addition, notably dose-dependently ROS BV2 after exposure LPS.

Abstract Aging is an intricate process involving interactions among multiple factors, which one of the main risks for chronic diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). As a member cysteine protease, cathepsin S (CTSS) has been implicated in inflammation across various diseases. Here, we investigated role neuronal CTSS aging and AD started by examining expression hippocampus neurons mice identified significant increase, was negatively correlated with recognition abilities. Concurrently, observed elevation concentration serum elderly people. Transcriptome fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) results revealed that overexpression aggravated brain inflammatory milieu microglia activation to M1 pro‐inflammatory phenotype, chemokine C‐X3‐C‐motif ligand 1 (CX3CL1)—chemokine receptor (CX3CR1) axis janus kinase 2 (JAK2)—signal transducer activator transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway. CX3CL1 secreted acts on CX3CR1 microglia, our first time neuron neuron–microglia “crosstalk.” Besides, elevated regions patients, hippocampus. Utilizing selective inhibitor, LY3000328, rescued AD‐related pathological features APP/PS1 mice. We further noticed increased B (CTSB) activity, but decreased L (CTSL) activity microglia. Overall, provide evidence can be used as biomarker plays regulatory roles through modulating neuroinflammation process.

Cognitive aging, characterized by the gradual decline in cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving, significantly impacts daily life. This is often accelerated neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) Parkinson’s (PD). AD marked accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques tau tangles, whereas PD involves degeneration dopaminergic neurons. Both conditions lead to severe impairment, greatly diminishing quality life for affected individuals. Recent advancements regenerative medicine have highlighted mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) their derived exosomes promising therapeutic options. MSCs possess regenerative, neuroprotective, immunomodulatory properties, which can promote neurogenesis, reduce inflammation, support neuronal health. Exosomes, nanosized vesicles from MSCs, provide an efficient means delivering bioactive molecules across blood–brain barrier, targeting underlying pathologies PD. While these therapies hold great promise, challenges variability MSC sources, optimal dosing, effective delivery methods need be addressed clinical application. The development robust protocols, along with rigorous trials, crucial validating safety efficacy exosome therapies. Future research should focus on overcoming barriers, optimizing treatment strategies, exploring integration lifestyle interventions. By addressing challenges, MSC- exosome-based could offer transformative solutions improving outcomes enhancing individuals aging diseases.

Despite extensive research on neuroimaging correlates of human brain aging, there is little mechanistic insight into how they are linked to loss function. Previous studies the role cerebral blood flow (CBF) in supporting function have focused delivery nutrients, namely oxygen and glucose. However, CBF required also clear byproducts energy metabolism, CO2 protons. With goal determining whether age-associated reduction regional may lead abnormal partial pressure carbon dioxide (pCO2) pH levels that sufficient alter activity cognitive function, we applied a recently introduced homeostatic modeling nutrients waste products PET data acquired young older adults (Goyal et al.
