Cognitive impairment among older adults in India: understanding the role of substance use and lifestyle factors

1 month 4 weeks ago
CONCLUSIONS: Substance use and other lifestyle factors are significantly associated with cognitive impairment among the older adults in India. Therefore, encouraging older adults who use tobacco or alcohol to assess their cognitive function at an earlier stage that could prevent or mitigate cognitive impairment, thereby enhancing their quality of life. This contribute to achieve of Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 3 that guaranteeing good health and wellbeing for all.

A nanoMIP sensor for real-time in vivo monitoring of levodopa pharmacokinetics in precision Parkinson's therapy

1 month 4 weeks ago
Real-time in vivo monitoring of levodopa pharmacokinetics is essential to address its narrow therapeutic window in Parkinson's disease (PD) therapy. However, current methods require excessive sample volumes, suffer low sampling frequencies, and fail to capture complete pharmacokinetic profiles. Here, we present an in vivo monitoring system for real-time tracking of levodopa levels in interstitial fluid (ISF) using a spindle-shaped carbon nanotube (CNT) fiber electrochemical sensor functionalized...

Molecular mechanism of PINK1 regulation by the Hsp90 machinery

1 month 4 weeks ago
Hundreds of human kinases, including PINK1-a protein kinase associated with familial Parkinson's disease-are regulated by Hsp90 and its cochaperones. While previous studies have elucidated the mechanism of kinase loading into the Hsp90 machinery, the subsequent regulation of kinases by Hsp90 and its cochaperones remains poorly understood. In this study, using complexes obtained through PINK1 pulldown, we determine the cryo-EM structures of the human Hsp90-Cdc37-PINK1 complex at 2.84 Å,...
