Microglia Polarization From M1 to M2 in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Shenrui Guo et al.

Summary: Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is a common feature of neurodegenerative diseases, and microglia can be categorized into M1 and M2 types with opposite functions. Modulating microglia M1/M2 polarization shows promising therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative diseases.

Role of chronic neuroinflammation in neuroplasticity and cognitive function: A hypothesis

Daniela Lecca et al.

Summary: The efficacy of 3,6'-dithioPomalidomide in 5xFAD Alzheimer's disease mice was evaluated to test the hypothesis that neuroinflammation is directly involved in synaptic/neuronal loss and cognitive decline. Challenges include the difficulty of TNF-alpha-lowering compounds reaching the brain and determining a therapeutic-time window. Linkage to other theories suggests that mitigating gliosis can restore synaptic homeostasis and cognitive function.

Chronic IL-10 overproduction disrupts microglia-neuron dialogue similar to aging, resulting in impaired hippocampal neurogenesis and spatial memory

Paula Sanchez-Molina et al.

Summary: This study found that chronic overexpression of IL-10 by astrocytes can lead to a decrease in hippocampal neurogenesis and impair hippocampal-dependent spatial learning and memory processes. The changes in microglial cells are similar to those observed in normal aging.

Cellular senescence: the good, the bad and the unknown

Weijun Huang et al.

Summary: Cellular senescence plays important roles in tissue remodeling, but excessive senescence may lead to cancer and age-related diseases. It involves cell-cycle arrest and the release of inflammatory cytokines with autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine activities. Therapeutic interventions targeting cellular senescence have shown potential benefits in extending lifespan and reducing tissue injury.

Eliud Enrique Villarreal-Silva et al.

Summary: In this study, a parameter-based Search Strategy Algorithm (SSA) was developed to analyze spatial learning and memory in young and aged rats. Compared to traditional methods, SSA was able to show significant differences in the learning process and identify differences in search strategies between young and aged rats.

Joseph Gaugler et al.

Summary: This article discusses the impact of Alzheimer's disease on public health, including its incidence, prevalence, mortality and morbidity rates, healthcare costs and caregivers' burden. It also addresses the perspectives of consumers and primary care physicians on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and the need for improved awareness, diagnosis, and treatment. The article emphasizes the increasing number of individuals living with Alzheimer's and the challenges faced by caregivers and healthcare providers, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Role of Microglia in Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease

Wolfgang J. Streit et al.

Summary: Microglia in Alzheimer's disease have been traditionally viewed as potentially harmful immune cells overactivated by amyloid, but an alternative theory suggests that their dysfunction due to aging may play a critical role in neurodegeneration. This theory challenges the amyloid cascade hypothesis by incorporating aging as a key etiological factor in Alzheimer's disease.

Dystrophic microglia are associated with neurodegenerative disease and not healthy aging in the human brain

Ryan K. Shahidehpour et al.

Summary: The study found an age-associated increase in dystrophic microglia in the hippocampus and frontal cortex, but this increase was proportional to the total number of microglia, suggesting aging alone does not explain the presence of dystrophic microglia. Dystrophic microglia, rather than hypertrophic microglia, were found to be the disease-associated microglia morphology. Furthermore, changes in iron homeostasis in dystrophic microglia were identified as a potential molecular mechanism driving the degeneration of microglia in neurodegenerative disease.

Peripheral B cells repress B-cell regeneration in aging through a TNF-α/IGFBP-1/IGF-1 immune-endocrine axis

Reem Dowery et al.

Summary: The study reveals that peripheral B cells in both humans and mice use the TNF-α/IGFBP-1/IGF-1 axis to suppress B-cell lymphopoiesis, and perturbation of this circuit can restore B-cell lymphopoiesis.

Age-related differences in hypoxia-associated genes and cytokine profile in male Wistar rats

Dzhuliia Dzhalilova et al.

Summary: The study found that newborn rats have high HIF-1 alpha mRNA expression levels in the liver, accompanied by low HIF-1 protein content and high levels of PHD2. As age increases, the HIF-1 alpha protein level increases along with the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Prepubertal animals exhibit the least resistance to hypoxia, with higher HIF-1 alpha mRNA expression levels compared to adult animals.
