Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and severe complication of diabetes mellitus, the etiology which remains insufficiently understood, particularly regarding involvement extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this study, nanoflow cytometry to detect EVs in DFU skin tissues used found significant increase Translocase Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20)+ mitochondrial-derived (MDVs). The role MDVs yet be reported. Using single-cell datasets, it discovered that may regulated by Sorting Nexin 9 (SNX9). vitro experiments revealed secreted fibroblasts cultured high glucose medium exhibited similar composition protein enrichment results those tissues, suggesting their potential as an ideal surrogate. These promoted apoptosis intracellular oxidative stress, disrupted mitochondrial structure, reduced aerobic metabolism target cells. vivo also showed MDV drops hindered wound healing diabetic mice; however, effect rescued SNX9 inhibitors, restoring dynamics balance. Under conditions, significantly upregulated stress levels induced dysfunction. This study proposes targeting therapeutic strategy for DFU.

Abstract Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, severely debilitating and rapidly progressing disorder affecting motor neurons in the brain, brainstem, spinal cord. Unfortunately, there are few effective treatments, thus remains critical need to find novel interventions that can mitigate against its effects. Whilst aetiology of ALS unclear, ageing major risk factor. Ageing slowly progressive process marked by functional decline an organism over lifespan. However, it unclear how promotes ALS. At molecular cellular level specific hallmarks characteristic normal ageing. These highly inter-related overlap significantly with each other. Moreover, whilst process, striking similarities at between these factors neurodegeneration Nine were originally proposed: genomic instability, loss telomeres, senescence, epigenetic modifications, dysregulated nutrient sensing, proteostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, stem cell exhaustion, altered inter-cellular communication. recently (2023) expanded include dysregulation autophagy, inflammation dysbiosis. Hence, given latest updates hallmarks, their close association disease processes ALS, new examination relationship pathophysiology warranted. In this review, we describe possible mechanisms which impacts on neurodegenerative implicated therapeutic may arise from this.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of motor neurons (MNs). Genetic mutations in Optineurin (OPTN) and Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD1) have been identified as causal factors for ALS. OPTN immunopositive inclusions confirmed cases ALS with SOD1 mutations. However, role gene caused ambiguous.

Mitochondria play a central role in essential cellular processes, including energy metabolism, biosynthesis of metabolic substances, calcium ion storage, and regulation cell death. Maintaining mitochondrial quality control is critical for preserving health ensuring function. Given their high demands, neurons depend on effective to sustain functionality. Neuronal senescence, characterized by progressive decline structural integrity function, hallmark neurodegenerative diseases. In senescent neurons, abnormal morphology, functional impairments, increased reactive oxygen species production disrupted mechanisms are frequently observed. Understanding the pathological changes neuronal structure, exploring intricate relationship between health, leveraging interventions provide promising foundation addressing age-related This review highlights key control, biogenesis, dynamics, ubiquitin-proteasome system, autophagy pathways, mitochondria-derived vesicles, inter-organelle communication, while discussing roles senescence potential therapeutic strategies.

Neural excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) imbalance plays a pivotal role in the aging process. However, despite its significant impact, of E/I motor dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases has not received sufficient attention. This review explores mechanisms underlying through lens balance, emphasizing genetic molecular factors that contribute to this (such as SCN2A, CACNA1C, GABRB3, GRIN2A, SYT, BDNF…). Key regulatory genes, including REST, vps-34, STXBP1, are examined for their roles modulating synaptic activity neuronal function during aging. With insights drawn from ALS, we discuss how disruptions balance pathophysiology age-related dysfunction. The genes discussed above exhibit certain association with neuron (like ALS), relationship had been previously recognized. Innovative therapies, such gene editing technology optogenetic manipulation, emerging promising tools restoring offering hope ameliorating deficits potential these technologies intervene aging-related diseases, challenges direct application human conditions.

ABSTRACT Objective This longitudinal study investigated pathological brain aging in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by evaluating disparities between chronological age and deep learning‐derived structure (BSA) exploring associations with cognitive functional decline. Methods Ten limb‐onset ALS patients (seven males) 10 demographically matched healthy controls (HCs) underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) assessments at baseline follow‐up. The BSA was estimated using the validated volBrain platform. Cognitive domains (language, verbal fluency, executive function, memory, visuospatial skills) global cognition (Persian adaptive Edinburgh Behavioral Screen [ECAS] total score) were assessed along status (ALSFRS‐R). Results exhibited significant BSA‐chronological (Δ = +7.31 years, p 0.009) follow‐up +8.39 0.003), accelerated progression over time ( 0.004). HCs showed no such 0.931).
