Beta-Amyloid Peptide in Tears: An Early Diagnostic Marker of Alzheimer's Disease Correlated with Choroidal Thickness

Magda Gharbiya et al.

Summary: We conducted a study to evaluate the diagnostic role of AD biomarkers in tears and their association with retinal and choroidal microstructures. We found that tear A beta 1-42 levels had a high sensitivity and specificity in detecting MCI and AD patients. Additionally, A beta 1-42 levels were correlated with psychometric scores and choroidal thickness. Testing A beta 1-42 levels in tears could be a minimally invasive and cost-saving method for early detection and diagnosis of AD.

Role of Tau in Various Tauopathies, Treatment Approaches, and Emerging Role of Nanotechnology in Neurodegenerative Disorders

Preetpal Kaur et al.

Summary: Several protein kinases and phosphatases regulate tau protein phosphorylation, and an imbalance in their activity leads to tau hyper-phosphorylation. Aberrant tau phosphorylation causes it to dissociate from microtubules and form neurofibrillary tangles, contributing to neurodegenerative disorders. Restorative approaches targeting hyperphosphorylated tau protein are being explored, and drug delivery systems based on nanocarriers provide a potential solution for the limited transport of drugs to the central nervous system. This review discusses tau protein, regulation of its phosphorylation, drugs in use or under clinical trials, and treatment strategies for tauopathies based on the role of tau hyperphosphorylation in disease pathogenesis.

Nanomedicine-based immunotherapy for Alzheimer?s disease

Mehboob Hoque et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta (A beta) plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau protein neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Current AD treatments have limited success and focus on improving cognitive and behavioral symptoms. Developing novel treatment approaches to control/inhibit AD progression, especially in the elderly, is crucial. Immunotherapy, which boosts the patient's immune system, shows promise as a safe treatment option. However, delivering therapeutics to the brain poses a challenge due to the minimal immune surveillance in the brain. The review discusses the use of different nano-formulations to enhance AD immunotherapy.

Role of monomeric amyloid-β in cognitive performance in Alzheimer's disease: Insights from clinical trials with secretase inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies

Bruno P. Imbimbo et al.

Summary: According to the beta-amyloid (A beta) hypothesis, brain A beta accumulation is the primary cause of cognitive deficit and dementia in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While many anti-A beta drugs have failed in clinical trials, recent studies have shown encouraging results for antibodies that clear amyloid plaques. These findings suggest that decreased levels of soluble monomeric A beta may be the main driver of AD, rather than the aggregated forms.
