Unscrambling the cellular and molecular threads of Neuroplasticity: Insights into Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis

1 year 8 months ago
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is predominantly the most recurring and devastating neurological condition among the elderly population, characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau proteins, and is accompanied by progressive decline of learning and memory. Due to its complex and multifactorial etiology, a wide variety of therapeutic interventions have been developed. Despite constant advancements in the field, effective treatments that ameliorate the severity of...

Drug repurposing for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders

1 year 8 months ago
Repurposed drugs provide a rich source of potential therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders (NDD). Repurposed drugs have information from non-clinical studies, phase 1 dosing, and safety and tolerability data collected with the original indication. Computational approaches, "omic" studies, drug databases, and electronic medical records help identify candidate therapies. Generic repurposed agents lack intellectual property protection and are rarely advanced to...

Adenosine metabolism and receptors in aging of the skin, musculoskeletal, immune and cardiovascular systems

1 year 8 months ago
Aging populations worldwide face an increasing burden of age-related chronic conditions, necessitating a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Purine metabolism has emerged as a crucial player in the pathophysiology of aging, affecting various tissues and organs. Dysregulation of purine metabolism, particularly alterations in extracellular adenosine levels and adenosine receptor signaling, contributes to age-related musculoskeletal problems, cardiovascular diseases, inflammation,...

RNA neoantigen vaccines prime long-lived CD8<sup>+</sup> T cells in pancreatic cancer

1 year 8 months ago
A fundamental challenge for cancer vaccines is to generate long-lived functional T cells that are specific for tumour antigens. Here we find that mRNA-lipoplex vaccines against somatic mutation-derived neoantigens may solve this challenge in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a lethal cancer with few mutations. At an extended 3.2-year median follow-up from a phase 1 trial of surgery, atezolizumab (PD-L1 inhibitory antibody), autogene cevumeran¹ (individualized neoantigen vaccine with...
