Adults with Down syndrome have a genetic form of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and evidence cerebrovascular across the AD continuum, despite few systemic vascular risk factors. The onset progression in is highly age-dependent, but it unknown at what age emerges factors influence its severity. In Biomarker Consortium-Down Syndrome study (ABC-DS; n = 242; 25-72), we estimated inflection point which MRI-based white matter hyperintensities (WMH), enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS), microbleeds, infarcts emerge relation to demographic data, factors, amyloid tau, diagnosis. Enlarged PVS appear develop early 30s, while WMH, amyloid, tau mid late 30s. Age-residualized WMH were higher women, individuals dementia, lower body mass index. Participants hypertension APOE-ε4 had age-residualized respectively. Lifespan trajectories demonstrate dramatic profile adults that appears evolve developmentally parallel pathophysiology approximately two decades prior dementia symptoms.

Antibodies that can selectively remove rogue proteins in the brain are an obvious choice to treat neurodegenerative disorders (NDs), but after decades of efforts, only two antibodies Alzheimer’s disease approved, dozens testing phase, and one was withdrawn, other halted, likely due efficacy issues. However, these outcomes should have been evident since cannot enter sufficiently blood–brain barrier (BBB) protectant. all products be rejuvenated by binding them with transferrin, preferably as smaller fragments. This model tested quickly at a low cost applied bapineuzumab, solanezumab, crenezumab, gantenerumab, aducanumab, lecanemab, donanemab, cinpanemab, their paper demonstrates conjugating transferrin does not alter such amyloid-β (Aβ) α-synuclein. We also present selection conjugate designs will allow cleavage upon entering prevent exocytosis while keeping fragments connected enable optimal proteins. The identified readily returned patients lowest regulatory delays. These engineered manufactured recombinant engineering, mRNA technology, more affordable solution meet dire need effectively.

ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative that affects ∼50 million people globally. The accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, predominant pathological feature AD, plays crucial role in AD pathogenesis. In this respect, Aβ has been regarded as highly promising therapeutic target for treatment. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are novel class metallodrugs being developed modulators aggregation, owing to their negative charge, polarity, and three-dimensional structure. Unlike traditional discrete inorganic complexes, POMs contain tens hundreds metal atoms, showcasing remarkable tunability diversity nuclearities, sizes, shapes. easily adjustable structurally variable nature allows favorable interactions with Aβ. This mini-review presents balanced overview recent progress using mitigate amyloidosis. Clear correlations between anti-amyloid activities structural features also elaborated detail. Finally, we discuss the current challenges future prospects combating AD.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. According to Braak hypothesis, spreads along specific neuroanatomical pathways. Studies indicate that fibrillar alpha-synuclein (F-αSyn) can propagate from cell-to-cell by following intercellular connections, leading selective death of certain cell groups like substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons and advancing pathology. Internalized F-αSyn be eliminated lysosomes, proteasomes, or chaperones before it replicates inside cell. Research has shown somehow escape endosomes, proteasomes replicate itself. However, impact on intracellular levels during initial hours their internalization remains unknown. The present study investigates effect chaperone within first 6 12 h after internalization. Our findings showed h, Hsc70 Hsp90 were increased, while leads a decrease suppression numerous levels. Exploring pathological effects PD cells will contribute identifying more targets for therapeutic interventions.
