Proteostasis and lysosomal repair deficits in transdifferentiated neurons of Alzheimer's disease
Ageing is the most prominent risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the cellular mechanisms linking neuronal proteostasis decline to the characteristic aberrant protein deposits in the brains of patients with AD remain elusive. Here we develop transdifferentiated neurons (tNeurons) from human dermal fibroblasts as a neuronal model that retains ageing hallmarks and exhibits AD-linked vulnerabilities. Remarkably, AD tNeurons accumulate proteotoxic deposits, including phospho-tau and...

Optimization of adeno-associated viral (AAV) gene therapies vectors for balancing efficacy, longevity and safety for clinical application
Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are an ideal platform for gene therapy due to their ability to deliver therapeutic cargos safely and effectively across various target organs. Their low immunogenicity contributes to long-lasting therapeutic effects. However, recent insights highlight the significance of CpG content within AAV vectors, where unmethylated CpG dinucleotides can trigger a TLR9-mediated immune response, leading to the rapid elimination of transduced cells. Clinical evidence...
Osteoporosis risk and its association with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among the elderly: a 16-year nationwide cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: The risk of osteoporosis is independently associated with the prediction of mortality. The OSTA may serve as a suitable predictor for mortality related to osteoporosis among the Asian population.
Impact of physical activity on the depression and self-care ability among Chinese older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: propensity score matching analysis
CONCLUSION: Moderate and light physical activity in older adults alleviates depression and improves instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), and light physical activity improves the level of activities of daily living (ADLs).
