Reduced step length is a hallmark of gait disturbance in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Although treadmill training effective for improving length, the associated neural mechanisms have not been fully investigated. Moreover, exploring baseline neurophysiological predictors improvement after could facilitate personalized rehabilitation PD.

Vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia, specifically cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), are the second most common cause of dementia. Currently, there no specific pharmacological treatments for CSVD, use conventional antidementia drugs is not recommended. Exercise has potential prevent mitigate CSVD-related brain damage improve function. Mechanistic pathways underlying neurocognitive benefits exercise include control vascular risk factors, improving endothelial function, upregulating exerkines. Notably, therapeutic efficacy may vary by type (ie, aerobic versus resistance training) biological sex; thus, studies designed examine these moderating factors within a CSVD context needed. Furthermore, future research should prioritize training interventions, given their tremendous potential. Addressing knowledge gaps will help us refine recommendations maximize impact in prevention mitigation CSVD.

Skeletal muscle has recently arisen as a regulator of central nervous system (CNS) function and aging, secreting bioactive molecules known myokines with metabolism-modifying functions in targeted tissues, including the CNS. Here, we report generation transgenic mouse enhanced skeletal lysosomal mitochondrial via overexpression transcription factor E-B (TFEB). We discovered that resulting geroprotective effects reduce neuroinflammation accumulation tau-associated pathological hallmarks model tauopathy. Muscle-specific TFEB significantly ameliorates proteotoxicity, reduces neuroinflammation, promotes transcriptional remodeling aged CNS, preserving cognition memory mice.

Ovarian cancer continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in women, with immune regulation playing critical role its progression treatment response. This review explores the interplay between sex hormones, particularly estrogen progesterone, ovarian cancer. We delve into mechanisms by which these hormones influence cell function, modulate checkpoints, alter tumor microenvironment. Key pathways involving progesterone receptors are examined, highlighting their impact on growth evasion. The also discusses therapeutic implications interactions, including potential for combining hormone-based therapies checkpoint inhibitors. Personalized medicine approaches, leveraging biomarkers predicting response, considered essential optimizing patient outcomes. Finally, we address current research gaps future directions, emphasizing need advanced technologies novel strategies improve through better understanding hormone-immune interactions.

Physical exercise can lower lung cancer incidence. However, its effect on progression is less understood. Studies exercising mice have shown decreased ectopic growth through the secretion of interleukin-6 from muscles and recruitment natural killer (NK) cells to tumors. We asked if suppresses in an orthotopic model also. Single-housed C57Bl/6 male cages with running wheels were tail vein-injected LLC1.1 cells, tumor nodules analyzed. Exercise did not affect cancer. Therefore, we also tested a subcutaneous LLC1 B16F10 melanoma model. Except for one case excessive exercise, was influenced. Moderately increase IL-6 or recruit NK tumor. Our data suggest that dose may dictate how efficiently immune system stimulated controls progression.
