Improved stem cell-derived pancreatic islet (SC-islet) differentiation protocols robustly generate insulin-secreting β cells from patient induced pluripotent (iPSCs). These advances are enabling in vitro disease modeling studies and the development of an autologous diabetes cell replacement therapy. SC-islet technology elucidates key features human pancreas progression through generation progenitors, endocrine derived diabetic nondiabetic iPSCs. Combining with gene editing next-generation sequencing reveals impact diabetes-causing mutations phenotypes on multiple types. In addition, supply SC-islets, containing other types, is unlimited, presenting opportunity for personalized medicine overcoming several disadvantages posed by donor islets.

Mitophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process involving the autophagic targeting and clearance of mitochondria destined for removal. Recent insights into complex nature overlapping pathways regulating mitophagy illustrate mitophagy's essential role in maintaining health mitochondrial network. In this review, we highlight recent studies that have changed way understood, from initiation through lysosomal degradation. We outline numerous mitophagic receptors triggers, with a focus on basal physiologically relevant cues, offering insight why they lead to also explore how maintains homeostasis at organ system levels loss may play diverse group diseases, including cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodegenerative diseases.

Human Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brains and transgenic AD mouse models manifest hyperexcitability. This aberrant electrical activity is caused by synaptic dysfunction that represents the major pathophysiological correlate of cognitive decline. However, underlying mechanism for this excessive excitability remains incompletely understood. To investigate basis hyperactivity, we performed electrophysiological immunofluorescence studies on hiPSC-derived cerebrocortical neuronal cultures cerebral organoids bearing AD-related mutations in presenilin-1 or amyloid precursor protein vs. isogenic gene corrected controls. In neurons/organoids, found increased excitatory bursting activity, which could be explained part a decrease neurite length. neurons also displayed sodium current density decreased inhibitory activity.

Mass spectrometry-based proteomics empowers deep profiling of proteome and protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here we review the advances limitations historic recent AD proteomic research. Complementary to genetic mapping, studies not only validate canonical amyloid tau pathways, but also uncover novel components broad networks, such as RNA splicing, development, immunity, membrane transport, lipid metabolism, synaptic function, mitochondrial activity. Meta-analysis seven datasets reveals 2,698 differentially expressed (DE) proteins landscape brain (n = 12,017 proteins/genes), covering 35 reported genes risk loci. The DE contain cellular markers enriched neurons, microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, epithelial cells, supporting involvement diverse cell types pathology. We discuss hypothesized protective or detrimental roles selected proteins, emphasizing top "amyloidome" (all biomolecules plaques) progression. Comprehensive PTM analysis represents another layer molecular events AD. In particular, PTMs are correlated with stages indicate heterogeneity individual patients. Moreover, unprecedented coverage biofluids, cerebrospinal fluid serum, procures putative biomarkers through meta-analysis.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative with no cure. Huge efforts have been made to develop anti-AD drugs in the past decades. However, all drug development programs for disease-modifying therapies failed. Possible reasons high failure rate include incomplete understanding of complex pathophysiology AD, especially sporadic AD (sAD), and species difference between humans animal models used preclinical studies. In this study, sAD modeled using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived 3D brain organoids. Because blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage well-known risk factor organoids are exposed serum mimic exposure consequence BBB breakdown patient brains. The serum-exposed able recapitulate AD-like pathologies, including increased amyloid beta (Aβ) aggregates phosphorylated microtubule-associated tau protein (p-Tau) level, synaptic loss, impaired neural network. Serum increases Aβ p-Tau levels through inducing beta-secretase 1 (BACE) glycogen synthase kinase-3 alpha / (GSK3α/β) levels, respectively. addition, single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals that reduced function both neurons astrocytes immune response astrocytes. organoid-based model established study can provide powerful platform mechanistic therapeutic future.
