1275-nm Photobiomodulation Alleviates Brain Drainage Impairment as a Promising Therapeutic Strategy for Aging-Related Neurological Decline
Aging imposes a significant socioeconomic and healthcare burden worldwide, while effective therapy is still lacking. Impaired brain drainage and excessive accumulation of metabolites and toxins such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are characteristics of aging that contribute to the development of neurological disorders. Recent discoveries have highlighted the role of meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) in the clearance of toxic metabolites, cells, tumors, and viruses from the brain,...
The autophagy-recessive tissue hormone DBI/ACBP (diazepam binding inhibitor, acyl-CoA binding protein) contributes to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of disability in the elderly, characterized by the progressive destruction of cartilage, synovial inflammation, and subchondral bone remodeling. While mechanical stress, metabolic derangements, and systemic inflammation are recognized contributors, accumulating evidence underscores the pivotal role of impaired macroautophagy/autophagy in disease pathogenesis. Autophagy declines with age, depriving chondrocytes and...
