This review describes investigations of specific topics that lie within the general subject HSV1’s role in AD/dementia, published last couple years. They include studies on following: relationship HSV1 to AD using neural stem cells; apparent protective effects treatment infection or VZV with antivirals prior onset dementia; putative involvement AD/dementia; possible human herpes virus 6 (HHV6) AD; seemingly reduced risk dementia after vaccination diverse types vaccine, and association shown some vaccine frequency reactivation; anti-HSV serum antibodies supporting linkage brain APOE-ε4 carriers, between APOE cognition, AD/dementia. The conclusions are there is now overwhelming evidence for role—probably causal—in AD, when it present further should be made prevention disease by vaccination, prolonged antiviral before onset.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is marked by impaired cognitive functions, particularly in learning and memory, owing to complex diverse mechanisms. Methionine restriction (MR) has been found exert a mitigating effect on brain oxidative stress improve AD. However, the bidirectional crosstalk between gut through which MR enhances memory AD, as well effects of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from mice AD mice, remains underexplored. In this study, APP/PS1 double transgenic were used an FMT experiment was conducted. 16S rRNA gene sequencing, targeted metabolomics, microbial metabolite short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) feces samples analyzed. The results showed that reversed reduction SCFAs induced further activated free acid receptors, FFAR2 FFAR3, transport protein MCT1, thereby signaling mitigate inflammation enhance capabilities. Furthermore, methionine-restricted diet mouse donors receiving ameliorated ability SCFAs. This study offers novel non-pharmaceutical intervention strategies for prevention.

The development of new therapeutic approaches to diseases relies on the identification key molecular targets involved in amplifying disease processes. One such molecule is thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), also designated thioredoxin-binding protein-2 (TBP-2), a member α-arrestin family proteins and central regulator glucose lipid metabolism, diabetes-associated vascular endothelial dysfunction inflammation. TXNIP sequesters reduced thioredoxin (TRX), inhibiting its function, resulting increased oxidative stress. Many different cellular stress factors regulate expression, including high glucose, endoplasmic reticulum stress, free radicals, hypoxia, nitric oxide, insulin, adenosine-containing molecules. directly inflammatory activation through interaction with nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome complex. Neurodegenerative as Alzheimer’s have significant pathologies associated inflammation, dysfunctions. In addition, dysfunctions metabolism been brain diseases, role for neurodegeneration has actively investigated. this review, we will focus current state understanding possible normal pathological functions nervous system from studies vitro neural cells brains humans experimental animals reference other studies. As can be expressed by neurons, microglia, astrocytes, cells, complex pattern regulation function suggested. We examine data suggesting target neurodegenerative where further research needed.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a deadly pandemic with surging mortality rates and no cure. COVID-19 is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) range of clinical symptoms, including cough, fever, chills, headache, shortness breath, difficulty breathing, muscle pain, loss smell or taste. Aged individuals compromised immunity are highly susceptible to likelihood increases age presence comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Emerging evidence suggests that highjacks mitochondria immune cells, replicates within mitochondrial structures, impairs dynamics leading cell death. Mitochondria powerhouses largely involved in maintaining immunity, homeostasis, survival/death. Increasing from infected cells vulnerable, vulnerability age. purpose our article summarize role various age-related diabetes, obesity, neurological diseases increasing amongst elderly COVID-19. Our also highlights interaction between cells. We highlight current treatments, lifestyles, safety measures can help protect against Further research urgently needed understand molecular mechanisms progression patients.
