Insulin signaling in microglia: A metabolic switch controlling neuroinflammation and amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease

2 months 4 weeks ago
Insulin resistance is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Chen et al.¹ show that microglial insulin signaling is essential for metabolic homeostasis and immune regulation, while insulin resistance impairs Aβ clearance and promotes neuroinflammation in AD. Their findings reframe AD pathogenesis through a cell-type-specific lens.

Lithium deficiency and the onset of Alzheimer's disease

2 months 4 weeks ago
The earliest molecular changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are poorly understood^(1-5). Here we show that endogenous lithium (Li) is dynamically regulated in the brain and contributes to cognitive preservation during ageing. Of the metals we analysed, Li was the only one that was significantly reduced in the brain in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to AD. Li bioavailability was further reduced in AD by amyloid sequestration. We explored the role of endogenous Li in...

Cellular senescence in skeletal diseases: A bibliometric analysis from 2007 to 2024

2 months 4 weeks ago
CONCLUSION: Research in this field has garnered substantial attention in recent years. This bibliometric analysis not only underscores the correlation between cellular senescence and skeletal diseases, but also highlights that targeting cellular senescence and the SASP may offer potential therapeutic strategies. These findings can inform future research directions and the development of targeted interventions for age-related skeletal conditions.
