Molecular Mechanisms of Neuroinflammation in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease Progression

Felicia Liana Andronie-Cioara et al.

Summary: Aging is a major risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, which is associated with chronic inflammation in both the peripheral and central nervous system. The accumulation of amyloid beta significantly enhances neuroinflammation and accelerates the progression of the disease through various pathways. Targeting neuroinflammation could be a promising therapeutic strategy, although further research is needed to determine the optimal timing.

Proapoptotic Effect of Icariin on Human Ovarian Cancer Cells via the NF-κB/PI3K-AKT Signaling Pathway: A Network Pharmacology-Directed Experimental Investigation

Jingjing Gao et al.

Summary: The study identified the pharmacodynamic targets and key mechanisms of icariin in treating ovarian cancer using network pharmacology tools and bioinformatics databases. It was found that icariin acts on ovarian cancer through various kinases, targeting important genes such as TNF, MMP9, and STAT3. Additionally, icariin was observed to promote apoptosis in SKOV3 cells by influencing the NF-kappa B and PI3K-AKT pathways, ultimately inhibiting tumor growth.

Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics in microbiome investigations

Anelize Bauermeister et al.

Summary: Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics is a key technology for detecting and identifying small molecules produced by the human microbiota and understanding their functional role. Microbiotas play a malleable part in ecosystems, affecting not only their specific niche but also distant environments. Data analysis, especially in the context of microbiome analysis, remains a challenge, with emphasis placed on integrative approaches and the integration of microbiome sequencing data.

Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis Induced by Decreasing Endogenous Melatonin Mediates the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease and Obesity

Boqi Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the systemic changes and pathogenic risks in an endogenous melatonin reduction (EMR) mouse model and identifies a new relationship between melatonin, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and gut microbiota. The findings suggest that EMR causes systemic changes mediated by gut microbiota dysbiosis, which may be a pathogenic factor for AD and obesity. The study also highlights the potential of targeting the gut microbiota for the prevention and treatment of AD and obesity.

Neurodegenerative Disorders: Spotlight on Sphingolipids

Frida Mandik et al.

Summary: Neurodegenerative diseases are incurable disorders of the nervous system characterized by progressive loss of brain areas and neuronal subtypes, often associated with symptoms linked to affected brain regions. Common features include protein deposition and mitochondrial damage affecting energy production and mitophagy. Research in the past decade has highlighted the role of lipids, particularly sphingolipids, in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.
