Cellular senescence in neurodegenerative diseases: a bibliometric analysis and mechanistic synthesis linking translational pathways to therapeutic implications

2 weeks 1 day ago
CONCLUSION: Cellular senescence research in NDs (notably AD, PD) shows broad promise from mechanisms to therapy. Future priorities include elucidating tau dysregulation's core role in senescence, developing specific biomarkers and targeted interventions. Senescent microglia are new therapeutic targets. Multi-target senomorphics modulating SASP offer new mechanisms for delaying ND progression. Understanding senescence mechanisms and precise interventions may provide novel ND therapies.

Metabolomic biomarkers enhance 10-year mortality risk calibration and clinical utility in older heart failure patients: A UK Biobank study

2 weeks 1 day ago
CONCLUSION: Integrating metabolic biomarkers with standard clinical characteristics significantly improves model calibration and clinical net benefit for predicting 10-year mortality in older adults with heart failure. This approach highlights underlying mechanisms, such as mitochondrial energy dysfunction and chronic systemic inflammation, providing a practical tool for personalized care planning and targeted interventions.

Astrocytic AEBP1-NPAS3-LIPA pathway coordinates cholesterol homeostasis to regulate Alzheimer's pathology

2 weeks 1 day ago
Astrocytes regulate brain cholesterol homeostasis, but the astrocyte-specific mechanisms disrupted in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are poorly understood. By integrating human bulk transcriptomes with single-nucleus RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), we identified adipocyte enhancer-binding protein 1 (AEBP1) as an astrocyte-enriched factor upregulated in AD. In postmortem human tissue and 5×FAD mice, astrocytic AEBP1 levels rise with age and disease progression. Astrocyte-specific AEBP1 knockdown ameliorates,...

Endogenous ATP-powered nanomotors directing neural stem cell differentiation for Parkinson's disease treatment

2 weeks 1 day ago
Transplantation-free neuron regeneration remains attractive yet unsolved for reversing Parkinson's disease (PD). Here, we present enzyme-driven mesoporous gold nanomotors (Apyrase@Au) that leverage endogenous biochemical energy for spatiotemporally controlled promotion of neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation, without exogenous stem cell transplantation. By catalyzing endogenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis, Apyrase@Au nanomotors simultaneously generate directional propulsion and...

Tau catalyzes amyloid-β aggregation and toxicity in a polymorph-dependent manner

2 weeks 1 day ago
Interactions between amyloidogenic proteins are emerging as critical drivers of neurodegenerative diseases. Among others, in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and severe forms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), codeposition of tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) leads to worsening of clinical outcomes and disease progression. Despite the importance of such heterotypic interactions, the underlying molecular mechanisms have proven challenging to be established. Here, we investigated the direct interaction...
