Stanford scientists discover immune cells that explode like microscopic bombs
Stanford researchers discovered immune cells in flatworms that explode within minutes, killing nearby bacteria and foreign cells before vanishing completely. Their unusually fast and localized attack could offer clues for developing targeted treatments against infections and cancer.
Cancer-fighting chewing gum cuts HPV levels by up to 93%
A specially engineered chewing gum reduced HPV by up to 93% and nearly eliminated two bacteria linked to head and neck cancer. The treatment preserved beneficial mouth bacteria, raising hopes for a safer and more affordable therapy.
When lactate speaks: Rewiring astrocyte-neuron metabolism in Alzheimer's disease
Metabolic dysfunction is a defining but poorly understood feature of Alzheimer's disease. Du et al. show that a brain-penetrant GLP-1 receptor agonist rewires astrocyte-neuron metabolic coupling through lactate-driven histone lactylation, linking astrocytic glycolysis to neuronal lipid homeostasis and positioning metabolite signaling as a therapeutic axis in neurodegeneration.
How do energy metabolism disorders and neuroinflammation collectively contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease (AD), as the leading cause of dementia, poses an increasingly severe socioeconomic burden in the context of global ageing. Traditionally defined by amyloid-β and tau pathology, it's increasingly recognized as a systems disorder in which impaired glucose metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation interact across neural cell types and disease stages. However, the interaction among these three mechanisms, their role in promoting the classical pathology of AD,...
An updated patent review of mGlu5 negative allosteric modulators (2018 - present)
Metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGlu5) is an important regulator of excitatory neurotransmission and remains a therapeutic target for neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders, including substance use disorders, depression, Fragile X syndrome, Parkinson's disease-related dyskinesia, and other movement disorders. However, the clinical development of mGlu5 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) has been limited by translational challenges, inconsistent efficacy, and safety concerns,...
Vestibular nucleus stimulation for ameliorating locomotor dynamics in a Parkinsonian mouse model
Postural and locomotor dysfunction represent axial symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), which remain poorly treated by medication and deep brain stimulation. Whilst non-invasive neuromodulation of the vestibular system via the vestibular nucleus complex (VNC) offers a novel therapeutic avenue, the underlying circuits are still poorly characterized. Here we show that the mouse VNC feeds extensive Vglut2-defined projections into striato-thalamo-subthalamic and caudal medulla motor hubs and...
