Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by dopaminergic neuron degeneration and α-synuclein (aSyn) accumulation. Environmental factors play a significant role in PD progression, highlighting the potential of non-pharmacological interventions. This study investigates the therapeutic effects of intermittent fasting (IF) in an rAAV-aSyn mouse model of PD. IF, initiated four weeks post-induction of aSyn pathology, improved motor function and reduced dopaminergic neuron...

To address the challenges of an ageing population, it is important to promote health by identifying factors for healthy ageing. The aim of this study was to investigate the bidirectional association between physical activity (PA) and sleep in healthy Japanese super-seniors over the age of 80. For approximately 1 year, 124 participants wore wearable devices and answered daily lifestyle questionnaires. PA was defined as daily step count and minutes in light activity. Sleep was measured using 24-h...

Pneumococcal vaccination is crucial in preventing Streptococcus pneumoniae infections in older adults. However, vaccine responses often diminish with age. This study investigates serotype-specific IgM and IgG responses in relation to opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) following thirteen-valent pneumococcal conjugate (PCV13) vaccination in younger (26-49 y; n = 44), middle-aged (50-64 y; n = 71), and older adults (65-98 y; n = 141). Both OPA and IgM responses declined with age, while IgG responses...

Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide expressed in the nervous system and also in various peripheral tissues, including the musculoskeletal system. PACAP has an important function in the regulation of chondrogenesis and plays a protective role in cartilage oxidative and mechanical stress. PACAP knockout (KO) mice show early signs of aging and osteoarthritis in knee joint articular cartilage. Its specific, most potent receptor is the PAC1 receptor, the...

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, are often associated with mutations in stress granule proteins. Aberrant stress granule condensate formation is associated with disease, making it a potential target for pharmacological intervention. Here, we identified lipoamide, a small molecule that specifically prevents cytoplasmic condensation of stress granule proteins. Thermal proteome profiling showed that lipoamide stabilizes intrinsically disordered domain-containing...
