Do not alter a single character, do not paraphrase.\n\nUse these scales to evaluate HOW WELL THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THE SPECIFIC CLAIM EVALUATED ABOVE:\n- Alignment Score (1-7): How well does the EVALUATED CLAIM factually align with the provided RAG evidence set? [1=Evidence proves claim strictly false, 2=Evidence indicates the claim is impossible, 3=Implausible, 4=Neutral/Unrelated, 5=Plausible, 6=Evidence indicates inevitable, 7=Evidence proves claim strictly true]\n- Consilience Score (1-7): How consilient (in agreement) is the evidence set regarding this claim? [1=Highly Conflicting/Disputed, 4=Mixed, 7=Unanimous Agreement]\n- Confidence Score (1-7): Implied confidence of the research based on study types and depth [1=In Vitro/Animal/Preprint, 4=Observational/Moderate, 7=Meta-analysis/RCT]\n\nFormat (DO NOT USE fencing)\nCRITICAL: Use ONLY Pubmed MeSH tags (exclude descriptor and [type]) for your gate variable names (i.e.,.the \"gates\") so they will be standardized globally.

The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway. The nanoparticles then escaped lysosomes, releasing siRNA into the cytoplasm, leading to gene downregulation and therapeutic benefits. Our results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain. Treatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, S-GEVs@siRNA nanoparticles rapidly reached the olfactory bulb through TAAR-mediated endocytosis, entered hippocampal neurons, downregulated Alox12B expression, exerted neuroprotective effects, and alleviated RBI-induced cognitive dysfunction. The designed nasal-to-brain delivery system holds great promise for treating various CNS diseases."

The designed nasal-to-brain delivery system holds great promise for treating various CNS diseases."

Despite advances in understanding genetic and molecular contributors, effective disease-modifying therapies for sporadic ALS are of limited utility. The identification of the accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in 97% of total ALS cases represents a critical pathogenic hallmark. This review examines key biological mechanisms underlying TDP-43 pathology, emerging therapeutic strategies, and evolving approaches to clinical trial design and biomarker development. TDP-43 loss of nuclear function, leading to widespread RNA missplicing, and inclusion of cryptic exons, represents an early and critical event in ALS pathogenesis causing downstream dysregulation of key neuronal genes such as STMN2 and UNC13A contributing to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction. Therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways are currently under investigation. Additional approaches aim to ameliorate TDP-43 gain-of-function through cytoplasmic TDP-43 aggregation or modulating processes such as stress responses and RNA metabolism, although clinical translation has been challenging. Advances in biomarkers, including neurofilament light chain and cryptic exon-derived peptides, provide tools for developing efficient clinical trials. However, heterogeneity in disease progression and limitations of available clinical endpoints complicate trial design. Integration of biological insights with biomarker-driven patient stratification and optimized trial methodologies is essential to improve clinical trial outcomes. Emerging biomarkers may enable earlier diagnosis, monitoring of therapeutic response, and personalized treatment approaches. Continued alignment of biological discovery with innovative clinical trial design holds promise for advancing effective therapies and transforming the future of ALS."

Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI."

Intranasal drug delivery offers a promising, noninvasive route to bypass the BBB and directly target the brain through olfactory and trigeminal pathways. This review explores the pharmacology of antiretroviral drugs, the challenges they face in CNS delivery, and the advantages of intranasal administration for treating NeuroAIDS. We examine physicochemical properties influencing BBB penetration and the mechanisms of nose-to-brain transport, along with their benefits and challenges. The review further evaluates the use of polymeric and lipid-based nanocarrier systems that improve drug stability, nasal residence time, and neuronal transport. Key anatomical considerations for targeting the olfactory region and design parameters for specialized intranasal delivery devices are also discussed. Despite anatomical and physiological challenges, advancements in nanotechnology and device engineering are enhancing CNS drug delivery efficiency. Combining antiretroviral-loaded nanocarriers with targeted nasal delivery devices represents a compelling strategy to improve therapeutic outcomes for HAND. This integrative approach holds significant potential to overcome CNS viral reservoirs, reduce neurocognitive impairment, and advance the eradication of NeuroAIDS. Many people with HIV continue to experience memory and thinking problems, known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), even when taking modern treatments. This happens because many antiretroviral drugs cannot cross the blood \u2013 brain barrier and HIV is able to hide in the brain. Delivering drugs through the nose is a promising way to bypass this barrier and send medicine directly to the brain through natural nerve pathways. This review looks at how the properties of antiretroviral drugs affect brain delivery, the mechanisms by which drugs can move from the nose to the brain, and the advantages and challenges of this route. It also examines the use of nanocarriers, such as lipid- and polymer-based systems, which can improve drug stability, keep drugs in the nasal cavity longer, and enhance their transport to brain cells. The review then discusses anatomical features important for targeting the olfactory region and highlights device designs that improve nasal delivery. Although challenges remain, recent progress in nanotechnology and device engineering shows strong potential to increase the effectiveness of brain drug delivery. Combining advanced nanocarriers with specialized nasal devices may improve treatment for HAND by better reaching hidden HIV in the brain and reducing long-term cognitive problems."

Growing evidence suggests that AD may also be considered a metabolic disorder closely associated with insulin resistance (IR). Impaired insulin signaling disrupts the PI3K/Akt and GSK3-\u03b2 pathways, resulting in synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and aberrant protein phosphorylation. Moreover, IR contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). These metabolic alterations, together with impaired energy homeostasis, dysregulate intracellular signaling cascades and exacerbate amyloid and tau pathology. This narrative review examines the mechanistic interplay among insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in AD, with particular emphasis on the shared cellular pathways that underlie disease progression. In addition, it summarizes emerging therapeutic strategies targeting insulin signaling, including pharmacological insulin-sensitizing agents, incretin-based therapies, lifestyle interventions, and bioactive natural compounds. The review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy. Despite substantial progress, the precise mechanisms linking insulin resistance to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Further mechanistic and translational studies are urgently required to elucidate these interactions and advance the development of effective therapeutic interventions."

The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway. The nanoparticles then escaped lysosomes, releasing siRNA into the cytoplasm, leading to gene downregulation and therapeutic benefits. Our results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain. Treatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, S-GEVs@siRNA nanoparticles rapidly reached the olfactory bulb through TAAR-mediated endocytosis, entered hippocampal neurons, downregulated Alox12B expression, exerted neuroprotective effects, and alleviated RBI-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Despite decades of research, effective treatments that halt or reverse these conditions remain elusive. Aging is the most significant risk factor in the development of these diseases, intertwining with molecular processes like DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and protein aggregation.

Increasing attention has been devoted to its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by \u03b2-amyloid and phosphorylated tau accumulation, synaptic dysfunction, and progressive neuronal loss. In this narrative review, we examine potential mechanisms through which spermidine may influence AD pathophysiology and summarize available preclinical and clinical evidence. Preclinical studies indicate that spermidine induces autophagy, a key cellular clearance pathway responsible for removing damaged organelles and aggregated proteins. Because impaired neuronal autophagy contributes to the accumulation of \u03b2-amyloid and tau in AD, increasing intracellular spermidine levels may enhance the degradation of these toxic species. In addition, spermidine exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, attenuates microglial activation, and supports mitochondrial function. In animal models of AD and brain aging, spermidine administration has been associated with improvements in cognitive performance and synaptic function. However, human clinical evidence remains limited and largely inconclusive. Observational studies suggest associations between higher dietary spermidine intake and better cognitive outcomes, but do not establish causality. Randomized clinical trials to date are few, include small and heterogeneous populations, and have not demonstrated consistent effects on primary cognitive endpoints. Overall, spermidine represents a biologically plausible modulator of pathways relevant to neurodegeneration, but translation of preclinical findings into clinical benefit remains uncertain. Current evidence is insufficient to support its use as a therapeutic or preventive intervention in AD, and further well-designed clinical studies are required to clarify its efficacy and mechanisms of action. Alzheimer\u2019s disease is one of the most common causes of memory loss in older adults. Researchers are searching for ways to protect brain cells and slow the biological processes that lead to this disease. One molecule that has recently attracted attention is spermidine, a natural compound found in all living cells and in many foods, including whole grains, legumes, mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Spermidine plays several roles in the body. One of its most important effects is activation of autophagy, a natural cellular process that removes damaged proteins and other cellular waste. This process is relevant to Alzheimer\u2019s disease because the condition is associated with the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain. Experimental studies also suggest that spermidine may influence inflammation in the brain, support mitochondrial function (the energy system of cells), and help maintain communication between nerve cells. In this review, we summarized evidence from laboratory experiments, animal studies, and available human research. In animal models of brain aging and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, spermidine consistently shows neuroprotective effects and can improve memory performance. Human evidence is more limited. Observational studies suggest that higher dietary spermidine intake may be associated with better cognitive performance, while clinical trials investigating supplementation have produced mixed results. Spermidine is naturally present in many foods and is increasingly studied in the context of aging and brain health. Overall, current evidence suggests that spermidine may play a role in brain aging. Larger and well-designed clinical studies are needed to clarify its potential relevance for Alzheimer\u2019s disease."

However, approximately half of the FTD patients are sporadic without a clear genetic background. To compare characteristics of microglia from different FTD subtypes, we generated induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia (iMG) from sporadic and C9-HRE-carrying behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD) patients and healthy controls. C9-HRE iMG displayed C9-HRE-associated RNA foci and dipeptide repeat proteins. All bvFTD iMG had fewer LAMP2-A-positive vesicles compared to control iMG. Additionally, C9-HRE iMG showed significantly increased LC3BII/I conversion after bafilomycin A1 treatment and altered phagocytic activity. The gene expression profile of C9-HRE iMG only modestly differed from the control iMG, but was greatly different from the sporadic bvFTD patient iMG.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could ameliorate this adverse effect, but their application is limited by high variations of conventional tissue-derived MSCs and many practical challenges of cell therapies. This study investigated the potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from standardized MSCs derived from iPS cells (iMSCs) in ameliorating radiation-caused dry mouth. In a mouse model, locally injected young but not aging iMSC-EVs after radiation preserved saliva secretion and acinar structures. Mechanistically, young iMSC-EVs reversed the acute inhibition of physiological inflammation and chronic increase of pathogenic inflammation in radiated salivary glands, which is related to the preservation of tissue-resident macrophages and polarization of infiltrated macrophages. At both acute and chronic phase after radiation, iMSC-EVs enhanced mitochondria-related cell metabolism pathways such as Oxidative Phosphorylation that modulate cell survival and macrophage polarization. OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination are much richer in effective young iMSC-EVs compared with inert aging EVs. Moreover, young iMSC-EV treatment increased hypusinated eIF5A in radiated salivary glands, especially in macrophages. These findings together indicated that iMSC-EVs are a promising cell-free product to restore salivary gland function impaired by radiation, which is mediated by maintaining immune balance and mitochondria-related cell metabolism at both acute and chronic phases."

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a central mechanism associated with cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease. The objectives of this study were to characterize the influence of AKI on brain alteration and BBB permeability in a preclinical model. We performed a mouse model of unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury without or with AKI (obtained by removing the contralateral kidney before ischemia). All animals were 7-week-old male C57Bl/6J mice, randomly assigned to groups: AKI, kidney ischemia-reperfusion alone, or control. We assessed neurologic impairment using the modified neurologic severity score and motricity evaluations, quantified BBB disruption by cerebral extravasation of Evans blue and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging with Gallium-68 diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (68Ga-DTPA), and performed immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy on brain sections. In mice with AKI, we found neurologic impairment, decreased spontaneous motricity, and cerebral extravasation of Evans blue, which were not observed in mice with renal ischemia-reperfusion without nephrectomy. Cerebral 68Ga-DTPA PET/CT imaging with imaging confirmed the BBB disruption. In addition, we observed more extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelial cells by electron microscopy in AKI mice compared with controls.

This review highlights recent advances in exosome biology, cargo-sorting mechanisms, and engineering strategies designed to enhance therapeutic delivery and targeting within the central nervous system. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of engineered exosomes in neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, spinal cord injury, neuropathic pain, and neuroinflammatory disorders. In addition, we discuss how exosomes compare with conventional delivery platforms and critically examine the major barriers limiting their clinical translation, including heterogeneity, scalability, reproducibility, purity, and regulatory standardization. By integrating mechanistic insights with translational perspectives, this review provides a framework for the rational design and future clinical implementation of exosome-based nanomedicines for neurological disorders. Relevant literature was identified through searches of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Publications available from database inception through [Month Year] were screened using combinations of keywords including \"exosomes,\" \"extracellular vesicles,\" \"neurological disorders,\" \"brain-targeted delivery,\" \"exosome engineering,\" \"drug delivery,\" and \"clinical trials.\" Additional relevant articles were identified through manual searches of reference lists from selected studies and recent reviews. Exosomes are tiny natural particles released by cells that act as messengers, carrying proteins and genetic material between cells. Scientists are increasingly studying these particles because they may help deliver medicines to the brain and spinal cord, where many treatments struggle to reach due to protective barriers. This review explains how exosomes are formed, how they can be modified to carry drugs or therapeutic molecules, and how they may help treat diseases affecting the nervous system, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and certain neuropsychiatric disorders.We also discuss the advantages of exosomes compared with conventional drug delivery systems and summarize recent advances in engineering strategies that improve their targeting abilities. Although laboratory studies have produced encouraging results, many challenges remain before exosome-based therapies can become routine treatments. These include difficulties related to large-scale production, quality control, safety, and ensuring that exosomes reach the desired tissues without causing unwanted effects.In addition, this review highlights current clinical studies and discusses the steps needed to translate these discoveries into real-world therapies. Overall, exosomes represent an exciting and rapidly evolving area of research that may contribute to the development of safer and more effective treatments for neurological disorders in the future."

However, the molecular composition and biological interpretation of bacterial EV proteomes are heavily influenced by the isolation methods. In this study, we systematically compared ultracentrifugation (UC) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for isolating EVs from Lactobacillus reuteri, assessing their impact on EV yield, purity, and proteomic profiles. Although UC yielded significantly more EVs than SEC, it also resulted in lower purity, as evidenced by higher protein contamination and a decreased particle-to-protein ratio. In contrast, SEC improved EV purity by approximately 6.45-fold, effectively removing non-vesicular proteins. Our quantitative proteomics analysis identified 670 in UC-EVs and 858 in SEC-EVs.-- UC-EVs were primarily enriched with cytosolic metabolic enzymes, ribosomal proteins, and components associated with macromolecular complexes, indicating cosedimentation artifacts during UC. Conversely, SEC-EVs exhibited selective enrichment of membrane-associated and cell-wall-modifying proteins, reflecting their origin from envelope remodeling processes. Notably, SEC-EVs contained several proteins, including NLP/P60, peptidoglycan hydrolases, and lipoproteins linked to anti-inflammatory activities. Overall, our findings illustrate that EV proteomes are highly dependent on the isolation method and highlight SEC as a superior approach for enhancing proteomic specificity and biological interpretability in bacterial EV research."

Among targeting strategies, the rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) peptide is the most commonly used modification on the EV surface to enable efficient systemic delivery of EVs. Although RVG is widely believed to facilitate blood-brain barrier (BBB) through receptor interactions, the underlying mechanism remains indirect and equivocal. Similarly, cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) modifications have been used to enhance BBB transport of various vehicles, such as CPP.16, which improves the brain delivery efficiency of adeno-associated virus 9 capsids. However, whether CPP.16 retains its delivery efficacy when applied to EVs remains unclear, raising concerns about carrier-specific limitations. In this study, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the transcytosis and delivery efficiency of RVG- and CPP.16-modified small EVs (sEVs) loaded with siRNAs. Using an in vitro BBB model, we found that these modifications do not alter the internalization of siRNAs by endothelial cells. Instead, these modifications appear to divert sEVs and siRNAs into transcytotic pathways, enabling their release into abluminal cells and subsequent target gene silencing. Moreover, RVG-sEVs primarily interact with the receptor and are internalized via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, leading to more efficient BBB penetration compared with CPP.16-sEVs. Consistently, in vivo studies demonstrate that RVG-sEVs deliver siRNAs more efficiently to both neurons and astrocytes compared with unmodified or CPP.16-sEVs. Our findings support the clinical potential of BBB-targeting peptides and provide critical insights for the rational selection of guiding peptides in central nervous system drug delivery."

Therapeutic strategies capable of restoring mitochondrial homeostasis in human RGCs remain limited. We established a human retinal ganglion-like cell (RGLC) model of mitochondrial injury and evaluated neuroprotective efficacy of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from either undifferentiated BRN3B-H9 cells or differentiated lineage-tailored RGLCs. RGLC-derived sEVs (RGLC-sEVs) conferred robust neuroprotection, significantly enhancing neuronal survival, preserving neurite architecture, and mitigating mitochondrial stress following injury. These effects were reproducible in mixed retinal cultures and in an ocular hypertension mouse model of glaucoma, with neuroprotective benefits observed throughout the retinal landscape. Mechanistically, untargeted metabolomic profiling revealed extensive metabolic reprogramming involving oxidative phosphorylation, amino acid utilization, lipid metabolism, and redox regulatory pathways. In vitro tracking studies confirmed efficient uptake of sEVs by injured RGLCs, confirming effective vesicular cargo delivery under conditions that promote neuroprotection and metabolic recovery. Functional bioenergetic analysis further validated restoration of mitochondrial-glycolytic coupling and improved cellular energetic resilience. Collectively, our findings establish lineage-tailored RGLC-sEVs as a potent, cell-specific therapeutic candidate capable of reprogramming metabolic networks and restoring bioenergetic homeostasis in glaucomatous neurodegeneration, highlighting their translational potential for neuroprotective intervention in optic neuropathies."

Engineered exosomes-nanoscale extracellular vesicles of natural origin-have emerged as a promising platform for innovative AD therapy due to their excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and intrinsic ability to cross the BBB. This review provides a systematic overview of the synthetic and structural biological characteristics of exosomes, with a focus on their functionalisation through physical, chemical and genetic modifications. These approaches enable the targeted loading of therapeutic cargo and the conjugation of brain-targeting peptides, thereby facilitating precise delivery to specific brain regions and offering a multi-target therapeutic strategy for AD. We further examine the potential of engineered exosomes in modulating core AD pathological pathways, including amyloid-beta deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction, and highlight their utility as an integrated delivery system for the co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents to achieve synergistic therapeutic effects. Finally, key challenges in clinical translation are addressed, such as scalable production, standardised drug loading protocols and comprehensive assessment of safety and immunogenicity. Unlike previous reviews that primarily focus on general engineering techniques, this article emphasises a rational design strategy tailored for multi-target synergistic therapy and presents a comprehensive roadmap from basic research to clinical application, thereby providing both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the development of next-generation AD treatments.

However, there are currently no effective drug options for the clinical treatment of ALF. Herein, inspired by the new concept of a full-API nanodrug (FAND), we have rationally developed a quadruplex bioactive FAND (termed FANDHP@FuEVs) composed entirely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This FANDHP@FuEVs is constructed from fusion extracellular vesicles (FuEVs), which hybridize M2 macrophage-derived EVs (M2-EVs) with mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) and is subsequently engineered with two clinically therapeutic biomacromolecules: hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and polyene phosphatidylcholine (PPC). Notably, FANDHP@FuEVs efficiently targets the damaged liver, benefiting from the dual inherent inflammation-tropism of the FuEVs. Moreover, FANDHP@FuEVs harnesses quadruplex biological activities by leveraging four natural bioactive components-M2-EVs, MSC-EVs, HGF, and PPC-to deliver pleiotropic therapies, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative, and macrophage repolarization effects. These therapies are effective in treating ALF induced by both acetaminophen and hepatectomy, demonstrating significant clinical relevance based on data from patients with liver disease.

However, their clinical translation is constrained by high molecular weight, poor solubility, low oral bioavailability, inefficient membrane permeability, nonspecific biodistribution, off-target degradation, and the concentration-dependent 'hook effect.'

These regulatory functions occur through various mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications, transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional processes, and RNA-protein interactions, as well as novel mechanisms such as liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), peptide coding, and exosome-mediated intercellular communication.\u00a0Current evidence supports the potential of lncRNAs as minimally invasive liquid biopsy biomarkers, detectable in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and extracellular vesicles. Additionally, lncRNAs may serve as therapeutic targets through antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), gene editing, and engineered delivery platforms. Overall, lncRNAs have emerged as central molecular regulators and promising candidates for translation in NDDs. Nonetheless, challenges related to specificity, validation, delivery across the blood-brain barrier, and clinical standardization must be addressed before their routine application in precision neurology."

Therapeutic reprogramming of microglial activation from a pro-inflammatory (M1-like) to a reparative (M2-like) phenotype represents a promising strategy; however, the lack of cell-specific targeting within an injured brain has limited clinical translation. Here, we developed a targeted gene-editing nanotherapy to modulate post-traumatic innate immune responses. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating CRISPR-Cas12a components were engineered to target mitogen-activated protein kinase-9 (MAPK9), a key regulator of pro-inflammatory signaling, and were conjugated with an Iba-1 antibody (Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs) to enable selective targeting of microglia. In vitro, MAPK9 editing in primary macrophages inhibited M1 polarization and promoted an M2-like phenotype, leading to reduced production of proinflammatory cytokines. In a TBI mouse model, intranasal administration of Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs achieved efficient delivery to the injured brain, with selective localization in Iba-1+ microglia. MAPK9 CRISPR targeting significantly attenuated microglial activation, reduced central and peripheral inflammatory responses, and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Importantly, this approach demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with no detectable toxicity across major organs. Collectively, these findings establish a non-viral, intranasal CRISPR-based strategy for cell-specific modulation of neuroinflammation following TBI. Targeted genome editing of MAPK9 effectively reprograms microglial activation and attenuates acute inflammatory responses, highlighting its potential as a promising and translationally relevant therapeutic platform for TBI and related neuroinflammatory disorders."

Autophagy is essential for endothelial homeostasis, yet its role in aldosterone-mediated vascular dysfunction remains unclear. We tested whether aldosterone impairs autophagic flux and whether restoring autophagy via Beclin1 (BCN1) activation protects vascular and cardiac function. Endothelial and vascular responses to aldosterone were assessed in wild-type mice, BCN1 gain-of-function mice (Becn1), and mice treated with spermidine or a BCN1-activating TB-peptide. Vascular function, nitric oxide (NO)/reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, autophagy markers, endothelial migration, and cardiac fibrosis were evaluated using wire myography, fluorescence assays, Western blotting, confocal microscopy, migration assays, and histology. Aldosterone impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation, decreased NO, increased ROS, and disrupted autophagic flux in an MR-dependent manner, indicated by LC3 accumulation and reduced p62 and BCN1 expression. Spermidine restored endothelial function and normalized NO and ROS levels. BCN1 gain-of-function mice were protected from aldosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction and exhibited reduced coronary and myocardial fibrosis. TB-peptide activation of BCN1 enhanced autophagic flux, improved vascular function, decreased cardiac fibrosis, and rescued endothelial migration impaired by aldosterone. Aldosterone induces endothelial dysfunction by suppressing autophagic flux through MR activation. Genetic or pharmacologic enhancement of BCN1-dependent autophagy restores endothelial homeostasis and prevents vascular and cardiac injury, identifying autophagy activation as a promising therapeutic approach for cardiovascular diseases associated with mineralocorticoid excess."

Recent evidence highlights macrophage metabolic reprogramming as a critical driver of immune responses, yet macrophages operate within a broader immunometabolic network involving dendritic cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes that collectively shape sepsis outcomes. The coordination of these metabolic changes across multicellular interactions and their contribution to organ-specific vulnerability remain poorly understood. Here we present a holistic framework linking macrophage metabolism to multicellular communication and organ vulnerability. We discuss how glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and fatty acid oxidation alter macrophage states via epigenetic and signaling mechanisms, producing metabolites that connect metabolism to inflammation. These signals reshape cellular networks through cytokines, extracellular vesicles, and damage-associated molecule patterns (DAMPs), differentially impacting organs with diverse metabolic demands, including the heart, lung, liver, kidney, brain, and intestine, resulting in distinct injury patterns. Our framework enhances understanding of sepsis-induced organ heterogeneity and advocates for stage-specific, organ-targeted therapies that consider integrated multicellular immunometabolic contributions."

It offers several advantages, such as rapid absorption, bypassing first-pass metabolism, direct nose-to-brain transport and localized effects. These benefits make it a promising approach for drug delivery in Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of intranasal delivery for Parkinson's disease treatment. Several studies on intranasal apomorphine reported rapid clinical response, improved UPDRS motor scores, tapping scores, and median Webster's scores, suggesting its effectiveness as a rescue therapy during \"off\" states. Intranasal recombinant erythropoietin was well tolerated and showed cognitive benefits. intranasal glutathione was safe and showed better bioavailability. Intranasal insulin improved cognitive performance without hypoglycemia, indicating a localized effect. Intranasal cholecystokinin and ipratropium bromide did not show significant benefits. Intranasal desmopressin is a safe and effective medication for nocturnal polyuria in Parkinson disease. Intranasal transplantation of neural stem cells is safe and is associated with functional improvement. Finally, Rivastigmine nasal spray offered better bioavailability and fewer side effects compared with conventional forms. The most common adverse effect was mild transient nasal or throat irritation. This review highlights the potential applications, efficacy, and side effects of various intranasal medications for Parkinson's disease and proposes using new interventions for future studies. The general benefits of nasal administration for Parkinson's disease treatment include localized effects, fewer side effects, faster onset of action, improved bioavailability, and enhanced therapeutic effectiveness."

Although current treatments modestly slow the disease progression, effective disease-modifying and curative therapies remain an urgent unmet need. SOD1 mutations are one of the major genetic causes of familial ALS. The p.Leu127Ser (L126S) and p.Gly94Ser (G93S) variants are clinically relevant pathogenic variants for which appropriate animal models are needed for preclinical evaluation of gene-editing therapies. However, most existing SOD1 models rely on high copy overexpression of mutant SOD1. Therefore, animal models carrying a single copy mutant human SOD1 allele are required for evaluating the in vivo efficacy of genome editing therapies. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair to generate a knock-in mouse line at the Gt(ROSA)26Sor (Rosa26) locus carrying a single-copy, 11-kb human SOD1 genomic fragment, including all exons and introns, with the L126S mutation. The Rosa26-hSOD1L126S mice did not develop ALS-like phenotypes during the limited observation period. However, they faithfully retained a single-copy mutant human SOD1 genomic allele, providing a valuable preclinical platform for evaluating genome-editing therapies. We also generated Rosa26-hSOD1G93S mice carrying the SOD1 G93S mutation with comparable efficiency. Together, these mutant human SOD1 knock-in mouse lines provide a versatile and clinically relevant platform for the preclinical evaluation of genome-editing therapies targeting heterozygous SOD1 mutations."

Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI."

Many components of MSC-derived EVs, including cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and miRNAs have been implicated in their anti-inflammatory effects. However, a major gap in our knowledge of using MSC as a therapeutic intervention for people with CF (pwCF) is whether the CF airway environment compromises miRNA cargo in hBM-MSC-derived EVs. To assess this, hBM-MSCs were exposed to cell culture media (control) or to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from pwCF or healthy controls (HC) and compositional analysis of EV miRNA content was conducted. Thirteen miRNAs (each \u22651% of the total miRNA content) were identified that collectively account for \u223c70% of the miRNA content of EVs. These miRNAs were remarkably stable across treatments. To infer potential therapeutic effects, we identified predicted gene targets of these miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis. Gene pathway analysis revealed that many of the 13 miRNAs are predicted to inhibit TLR signaling, NF-\u03baB activation, TGF-\u03b2-mediated fibrosis, and cytokine production. These results indicate that miRNAs secreted by hBM-MSCs in EVs may contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in experimental models and that exposure to CF BALF does not significantly diminish the abundance of the 13 miRNAs."

Classical signalling via membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) is often associated with homeostatic and reparative functions, whereas trans-signalling, mediated by soluble IL-6R, expands IL-6 responsiveness to gp130-expressing cells and may promote chronic inflammation. Emerging evidence implicates dysregulated IL-6 trans-signalling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Here, we review mechanisms linking IL-6 trans-signalling to immune, glial, neuronal, and vascular dysfunction in neurodegeneration. We highlight key knowledge gaps and discuss whether selective targeting of trans-signalling can limit inflammatory pathology while preserving beneficial classical IL-6 functions."

Current systemic therapies, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors, offer benefits but have limited efficacy and may cause adverse effects; thus, highlighting the need for targeted delivery across the BBB. This review introduces extracellular vesicles (EVs) as an appropriate pharmaceutical engineering platform to address such challenges. While traditional treatments have inherent disadvantages, engineered EVs offer efficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, targeted delivery, and multi-therapeutic payload capacity for migraine-associated neural circuits. We introduce a framework for pathophysiology-informed technology by first discussing the role of native EVs in promoting the migraine cascade to identify specific sites of therapeutic intervention. In this review, the focus is on pharmaceutical nanotechnology, starting with the strategic selection of producer cells, including \"Hijack & Modify\" vs De Novo Design, and continuing through sequential nano-engineering of EVs by surface functionalization and utilization of hybrid vesicles for targeting the BBB and trigeminovascular systems to state-of-the-art smart-release systems. We continue with the critical analytical and manufacturing sciences needed to translate such engineered EVs from bench to bedside, addressing important translational challenges through scalable Good manufacturing practices (GMP) production, supported potency assays, and comprehensive quality assurance processes. These include potency tests, GMP production, and robust quality control that may be expanded. Finally, we combine all of these into a single translational pathway that examines the regulatory issues, the patent landscape, and the future of personalized EV therapeutics.

Recently, therapeutic development in the dementia field has accelerated, with the introduction of monoclonal antibody therapeutics such as Lecanemab and Donanemab. However, AD and FTD patients are still either diagnosed too late to benefit from available therapies or are misdiagnosed due to the clinical overlap between dementia subgroups making therapeutic intervention challenging. This highlights a real need to improve early diagnostic tools of neurodegenerative disease (ND) biomarkers. A potential source of such biomarkers come from small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), groups of cell-derived, lipid-bound assemblies with the capability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and known to carry pathogenic proteins associated with AD and FTD. A known cargo of sEVs is microRNA (miRNA), regulatory molecules that post-transcriptionally silence gene expression including transcripts of autophagic systems, processes which dysfunction in dementia-causing diseases leading to toxic aggregate build-up, causing neurodegeneration. The targeting of functional machineries in macroautophagy (MA) and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) by different miRNA may vary between AD and FTD mutations, leading to potential biomarkers of disease being highlighted. Through isolating sEVs from the frontal cortex of post-mortem brain tissue of AD, FTD-MAPT, FTD-C9orf72, FTD-GRN and no-disease control patients (Manchester Brain Bank), miRNA cargoes were analysed and compared using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Seven autophagy-associated miRNA candidates (MA: miR-124-3p, miR-30a-5p, miR-128-3p; and CMA: miR-224-5p, miR-373-5p, miR-106a-3p and miR-26b-5p) were tested to identify dementia sub-group variations, used alongside small RNA-sequencing to explore broader miRNA variation within sEV populations. Of the miRNA tested miR-224-5p (P = 1.76 \u00d7 10-5) and miR-106a-3p (P = 0.033) showed significant group differences, and further significant pairwise comparison differences [miR-224-5p: AD fold change (FC) = 4.29, MAPT FC = 7.62; miR-106a-5p: AD FC = 5.59] when compared with no disease controls and other dementia subgroups, potentially showing initial diagnostic and differentiating potential. Small RNA-sequencing results revealed 8 AD, 2 FTD-GRN, 52 FTD-MAPT and 12 FTD-C9orf72 differentially expressed sEV-miRNAs when compared with no disease controls. Further direct comparisons between AD versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, and even FTD mutation versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, identified additional miRNA with differentiating capabilities. These findings demonstrate sEV-derived miRNA signatures vary across dementia sub-types and suggest potential roles of sEV cargoes in both disease diagnostics and identifying drivers of ND, such as autophagic impairments and signalling pathways."

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive motor neurons (MN) degenerative disease with few approved drugs. Previously, supplementation with exogenous recombinant phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (Pgk1) was found to improve MN growth through its interaction with receptor Eno2. To bypass the high complexity and cost of full-length Pgk1 production, a short segment within Pgk1 (M08) was predicted as the key motif interacting with Eno2, and a zebrafish phenotypic screening platform was established to find the most neurotrophic compound(s) among M08 and its mutants. We first found that M08-injected zebrafish embryos significantly increased branched caudal primary MNs (CaPMNs). However, compared to M08 (59.20 \u00b1 1.80%), M039, among 17 mutants further screened, showed even more improvement of branched CaPMNs, up to 74.54 \u00b1 3.73%. Next, when we administered the M039 peptide to C9ORF72-knockdown ALS-like zebrafish embryos, it improved axonal growth and swimming ability. Then, we employed a cellular model as a secondary screen, and M039 exhibited improved neurite outgrowth of MN (NOMN) and reduced p-Cofilin in NSC34 neural cells grown in ALS-like condition. Therefore, by using a zebrafish MN phenotype as a primary screening platform, we identified a mutated short peptide M039 having the most pronounced positive effect on improving neurite growth among all 17 mutants in comparison to parental M08, demonstrating the feasibility of zebrafish screening as a cost-effective strategy for finding promising neuroprotective short peptides that serve as neurotherapeutic potentials."

Targeting sigma-1 receptor (S1R) could meet this objective, as this chaperone protein modulates many cell survival mechanisms. So far, the impact of S1R activation in ALS has been studied using specific agonists and mostly on the SOD1 mutation that represents only 2% of patients. In the present study, the impact of two different S1R activators, the reference agonist PRE-084 and the positive modulator OZP002, was compared on two key ALS genes: TDP43 and C9orf72. The dissociation of S1R from Binding immunoglobulin Protein (BiP) was determined using ELISA. OZP002 toxicity was compared to PRE-084 on zebrafish larvae with increasing concentrations. The efficacy of OZP002 and PRE-084 was evaluated on the locomotor escape response of zebrafish expressing mutant TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. Their effects on NRF2 target gene expression were studied by qPCR. The beneficial effect was further examined on the locomotor performances of TDP43A315T mice using rotarod and beam walking tests. We also performed analysis on motor neuron loss and glial reactivity. OZP002 is a positive modulator of S1R, that increases the dissociation of the S1R-BiP complex induced by orthosteric agonists. S1R activation by both OZP002 and PRE-084 restored the locomotor response of ALS zebrafish expressing either TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. The neuroprotection was due at least in part to the NRF2 cascade stimulation but not with a direct interaction. More importantly, OZP002 and PRE-084 prevented locomotor defects and degeneration of spinal motor neurons in TDP43A315T transgenic mice. Astroglial and microglial reactivities were also reduced by both activators. We here emphasize the therapeutic value of S1R activation in mitigating ALS pathology. Additionally, we show that the positive modulators pave the way for the development of new S1R-activating compounds for ALS treatment."

The polyamine spermidine was suggested to exert neuroprotective effects, but its concentration-dependent impact on longevity, neuronal integrity, and behavior remains still not well studied. Here, we investigated the effects of spermidine on lifespan, behavioral responses, brain tissue, target gene expression, and antioxidant status in Drosophila melanogaster model of age-dependent neurodegeneration. Wild-type flies and swiss cheese (sws1) mutants were exposed to 0.5, 1, and 5\u2009mM spermidine from early adulthood. Lifespan analysis revealed that high-dose spermidine (5\u2009mM) reduced survival in both wild-type and sws1 mutants, whereas lower doses (0.5 and 1\u2009mM) significantly improved survival in mutants without affecting wild-type flies. Behavioral assays revealed that sws1 flies exhibited reduced climbing ability compared to controls, which was further decreased at 5\u2009mM. Lower concentrations did not significantly affect locomotor performance. Taste preference for trehalose, impaired in untreated sws1 mutants, was partially restored by spermidine at all tested concentrations. Histological analysis of 10-13-day-old mutants showed a concentration-dependent reduction in degeneration zones within the lamina and medulla at 0.5 and 1\u2009mM, whereas 5\u2009mM had no effect. Biochemical assays indicated mild pro-oxidant effects at 5\u2009mM, reflected by increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, while 0.5\u2009mM enhanced antioxidant defenses, including catalase activity and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC).

Herein, we developed gallium-quercetin nanoparticles (GQNPs) as an intranasally deliverable nanoplatform for multi-target ferroptosis inhibition. In vitro, GQNPs suppressed ferroptosis by coordinating iron regulation and antioxidation. Ga3 + interfered with transferrin-mediated iron uptake to restrict iron influx, while quercetin reduced oxidative stress and supported iron homeostasis, thereby decreasing ROS accumulation and improving mitochondrial function. In vivo, intranasal delivery of GQNPs effectively bypassed the blood-brain barrier to recover motor coordination and cognitive function in PD mice. By integrating iron regulation, antioxidant activity, and mitochondrial protection within a single nanoplatform, this work highlights gallium-based coordination nanoparticles as a promising therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-associated neurodegenerative diseases."

Many components of MSC-derived EVs, including cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and miRNAs have been implicated in their anti-inflammatory effects. However, a major gap in our knowledge of using MSC as a therapeutic intervention for people with CF (pwCF) is whether the CF airway environment compromises miRNA cargo in hBM-MSC-derived EVs. To assess this, hBM-MSCs were exposed to cell culture media (control) or to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from pwCF or healthy controls (HC) and compositional analysis of EV miRNA content was conducted. Thirteen miRNAs (each \u22651% of the total miRNA content) were identified that collectively account for \u223c70% of the miRNA content of EVs. These miRNAs were remarkably stable across treatments. To infer potential therapeutic effects, we identified predicted gene targets of these miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis. Gene pathway analysis revealed that many of the 13 miRNAs are predicted to inhibit TLR signaling, NF-\u03baB activation, TGF-\u03b2-mediated fibrosis, and cytokine production. These results indicate that miRNAs secreted by hBM-MSCs in EVs may contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in experimental models and that exposure to CF BALF does not significantly diminish the abundance of the 13 miRNAs."

Growing evidence suggests that AD may also be considered a metabolic disorder closely associated with insulin resistance (IR). Impaired insulin signaling disrupts the PI3K/Akt and GSK3-\u03b2 pathways, resulting in synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and aberrant protein phosphorylation. Moreover, IR contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). These metabolic alterations, together with impaired energy homeostasis, dysregulate intracellular signaling cascades and exacerbate amyloid and tau pathology. This narrative review examines the mechanistic interplay among insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in AD, with particular emphasis on the shared cellular pathways that underlie disease progression. In addition, it summarizes emerging therapeutic strategies targeting insulin signaling, including pharmacological insulin-sensitizing agents, incretin-based therapies, lifestyle interventions, and bioactive natural compounds. The review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy.

Among transcripts found in mature axons, the most enriched biological process is protein translation, and localization of translation machinery was confirmed using multiplexed single-molecule spatial transcriptomics combined with immunofluorescence. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated mutations in the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS), which suppress local translation, disrupt the compartment-specific RNA signatures, including components of the translation machinery. In particular, eukaryotic initiation factor 5a (Eif5a), a translation factor involved in elongation and termination, is found to be locally impaired in mutant FUS axons with reduced levels of its active hypusinated form. Axon-specific treatment with polyamine spermidine restores Eif5a hypusination and ameliorates mutant FUS-dependent neuronal defects, including suppression of local protein synthesis. Finally, in vivo spermidine treatment reduces ALS-related toxicity in mutant FUS and TDP-43 Drosophila models, which may have implications for therapy development."

Despite advances in understanding genetic and molecular contributors, effective disease-modifying therapies for sporadic ALS are of limited utility. The identification of the accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in 97% of total ALS cases represents a critical pathogenic hallmark. This review examines key biological mechanisms underlying TDP-43 pathology, emerging therapeutic strategies, and evolving approaches to clinical trial design and biomarker development. TDP-43 loss of nuclear function, leading to widespread RNA missplicing, and inclusion of cryptic exons, represents an early and critical event in ALS pathogenesis causing downstream dysregulation of key neuronal genes such as STMN2 and UNC13A contributing to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction. Therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways are currently under investigation. Additional approaches aim to ameliorate TDP-43 gain-of-function through cytoplasmic TDP-43 aggregation or modulating processes such as stress responses and RNA metabolism, although clinical translation has been challenging. Advances in biomarkers, including neurofilament light chain and cryptic exon-derived peptides, provide tools for developing efficient clinical trials. However, heterogeneity in disease progression and limitations of available clinical endpoints complicate trial design. Integration of biological insights with biomarker-driven patient stratification and optimized trial methodologies is essential to improve clinical trial outcomes. Emerging biomarkers may enable earlier diagnosis, monitoring of therapeutic response, and personalized treatment approaches. Continued alignment of biological discovery with innovative clinical trial design holds promise for advancing effective therapies and transforming the future of ALS."

Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI."

Intranasal drug delivery offers a promising, noninvasive route to bypass the BBB and directly target the brain through olfactory and trigeminal pathways. This review explores the pharmacology of antiretroviral drugs, the challenges they face in CNS delivery, and the advantages of intranasal administration for treating NeuroAIDS. We examine physicochemical properties influencing BBB penetration and the mechanisms of nose-to-brain transport, along with their benefits and challenges. The review further evaluates the use of polymeric and lipid-based nanocarrier systems that improve drug stability, nasal residence time, and neuronal transport. Key anatomical considerations for targeting the olfactory region and design parameters for specialized intranasal delivery devices are also discussed. Despite anatomical and physiological challenges, advancements in nanotechnology and device engineering are enhancing CNS drug delivery efficiency. Combining antiretroviral-loaded nanocarriers with targeted nasal delivery devices represents a compelling strategy to improve therapeutic outcomes for HAND. This integrative approach holds significant potential to overcome CNS viral reservoirs, reduce neurocognitive impairment, and advance the eradication of NeuroAIDS. Many people with HIV continue to experience memory and thinking problems, known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), even when taking modern treatments. This happens because many antiretroviral drugs cannot cross the blood \u2013 brain barrier and HIV is able to hide in the brain. Delivering drugs through the nose is a promising way to bypass this barrier and send medicine directly to the brain through natural nerve pathways. This review looks at how the properties of antiretroviral drugs affect brain delivery, the mechanisms by which drugs can move from the nose to the brain, and the advantages and challenges of this route. It also examines the use of nanocarriers, such as lipid- and polymer-based systems, which can improve drug stability, keep drugs in the nasal cavity longer, and enhance their transport to brain cells. The review then discusses anatomical features important for targeting the olfactory region and highlights device designs that improve nasal delivery. Although challenges remain, recent progress in nanotechnology and device engineering shows strong potential to increase the effectiveness of brain drug delivery. Combining advanced nanocarriers with specialized nasal devices may improve treatment for HAND by better reaching hidden HIV in the brain and reducing long-term cognitive problems."

Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI."

Here we applied spatial transcriptomics to adult mouse motor nerve axons and cell bodies to enable subcellular mapping. Among transcripts found in mature axons, the most enriched biological process is protein translation, and localization of translation machinery was confirmed using multiplexed single-molecule spatial transcriptomics combined with immunofluorescence. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated mutations in the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS), which suppress local translation, disrupt the compartment-specific RNA signatures, including components of the translation machinery. In particular, eukaryotic initiation factor 5a (Eif5a), a translation factor involved in elongation and termination, is found to be locally impaired in mutant FUS axons with reduced levels of its active hypusinated form. Axon-specific treatment with polyamine spermidine restores Eif5a hypusination and ameliorates mutant FUS-dependent neuronal defects, including suppression of local protein synthesis. Finally, in vivo spermidine treatment reduces ALS-related toxicity in mutant FUS and TDP-43 Drosophila models, which may have implications for therapy development."

Despite decades of research, effective treatments that halt or reverse these conditions remain elusive. Aging is the most significant risk factor in the development of these diseases, intertwining with molecular processes like DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and protein aggregation. Recent advances in gene-editing technologies, particularly CRISPR-Cas9, are beginning to shift the therapeutic landscape. This revolutionary tool allows for precise correction of genetic mutations associated with neurodegeneration, offering the potential for disease modification rather than symptom management alone. In this review, we explore how CRISPR-Cas9 is being leveraged to target key genes implicated in various neurodegenerative conditions and how it may overcome barriers posed by aging biology. We also examine the delivery systems and safety challenges that must be addressed before clinical application. With continued progress, CRISPR-Cas9 could mark a turning point in our ability to treat or even prevent age-related neurological decline."

Current treatments are only symptomatic and do not address the underlying pathogenic genetic mechanisms. The development of the CRISPR/Cas genome editing technologies, has increased possibilities for targeted repair of pathological mutations. CRISPR/Cas9, Cas12, and Cas13 systems enable targeted editing and transcriptome modulation in various preclinical models. CRISPR/Cas9 disruption of mutant APP, Tau, and LRRK2 genes, reducing toxic protein aggregration in AD models has restored normal genetic function. While correction of CAG nucleotide repeats in HD, and reduction of alpha-synuclein expression in PD. RNA targeting systems like Cas13 offers additional therapeutics potential by selectively degrading disease assciated transcript without altering genomic DNA. Advancements in engineered Cas variants with enhanced specificity, such as SpCas9-HF1, base editors and prime editors, with innovative delivery strategies including adeno-associated virus (AAVs) and nanoparticle-based systems, have improved genome editing. However, challenges remain, including off-target effects, mosaicism, and delivery across the BBB, and long-term safety. Ethical consideration focuses on somatic versus germline editing, equitable access, and regulatory oversight. While somatic editing shows acceptance in treating neurological disorders. Germline interventions face strict regulations due to potential multigeneration impacts. Collectively, these technologies are the vanguard of precision molecular medicine, advancing from symptom management towards potentially curative gene therapies for neurological disorders."

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could ameliorate this adverse effect, but their application is limited by high variations of conventional tissue-derived MSCs and many practical challenges of cell therapies. This study investigated the potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from standardized MSCs derived from iPS cells (iMSCs) in ameliorating radiation-caused dry mouth. In a mouse model, locally injected young but not aging iMSC-EVs after radiation preserved saliva secretion and acinar structures. Mechanistically, young iMSC-EVs reversed the acute inhibition of physiological inflammation and chronic increase of pathogenic inflammation in radiated salivary glands, which is related to the preservation of tissue-resident macrophages and polarization of infiltrated macrophages. At both acute and chronic phase after radiation, iMSC-EVs enhanced mitochondria-related cell metabolism pathways such as Oxidative Phosphorylation that modulate cell survival and macrophage polarization. OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination are much richer in effective young iMSC-EVs compared with inert aging EVs. Moreover, young iMSC-EV treatment increased hypusinated eIF5A in radiated salivary glands, especially in macrophages. These findings together indicated that iMSC-EVs are a promising cell-free product to restore salivary gland function impaired by radiation, which is mediated by maintaining immune balance and mitochondria-related cell metabolism at both acute and chronic phases."

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a central mechanism associated with cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease. The objectives of this study were to characterize the influence of AKI on brain alteration and BBB permeability in a preclinical model. We performed a mouse model of unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury without or with AKI (obtained by removing the contralateral kidney before ischemia). All animals were 7-week-old male C57Bl/6J mice, randomly assigned to groups: AKI, kidney ischemia-reperfusion alone, or control. We assessed neurologic impairment using the modified neurologic severity score and motricity evaluations, quantified BBB disruption by cerebral extravasation of Evans blue and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging with Gallium-68 diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (68Ga-DTPA), and performed immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy on brain sections. In mice with AKI, we found neurologic impairment, decreased spontaneous motricity, and cerebral extravasation of Evans blue, which were not observed in mice with renal ischemia-reperfusion without nephrectomy. Cerebral 68Ga-DTPA PET/CT imaging with imaging confirmed the BBB disruption. In addition, we observed more extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelial cells by electron microscopy in AKI mice compared with controls. AKI-induced neurologic complications are associated with an early increase in BBB permeability and transcytosis of extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelium."

However, the molecular composition and biological interpretation of bacterial EV proteomes are heavily influenced by the isolation methods. In this study, we systematically compared ultracentrifugation (UC) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for isolating EVs from Lactobacillus reuteri, assessing their impact on EV yield, purity, and proteomic profiles. Although UC yielded significantly more EVs than SEC, it also resulted in lower purity, as evidenced by higher protein contamination and a decreased particle-to-protein ratio. In contrast, SEC improved EV purity by approximately 6.45-fold, effectively removing non-vesicular proteins. Our quantitative proteomics analysis identified 670 in UC-EVs and 858 in SEC-EVs.-- UC-EVs were primarily enriched with cytosolic metabolic enzymes, ribosomal proteins, and components associated with macromolecular complexes, indicating cosedimentation artifacts during UC. Conversely, SEC-EVs exhibited selective enrichment of membrane-associated and cell-wall-modifying proteins, reflecting their origin from envelope remodeling processes. Notably, SEC-EVs contained several proteins, including NLP/P60, peptidoglycan hydrolases, and lipoproteins linked to anti-inflammatory activities. Overall, our findings illustrate that EV proteomes are highly dependent on the isolation method and highlight SEC as a superior approach for enhancing proteomic specificity and biological interpretability in bacterial EV research."

Among targeting strategies, the rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) peptide is the most commonly used modification on the EV surface to enable efficient systemic delivery of EVs. Although RVG is widely believed to facilitate blood-brain barrier (BBB) through receptor interactions, the underlying mechanism remains indirect and equivocal. Similarly, cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) modifications have been used to enhance BBB transport of various vehicles, such as CPP.16, which improves the brain delivery efficiency of adeno-associated virus 9 capsids. However, whether CPP.16 retains its delivery efficacy when applied to EVs remains unclear, raising concerns about carrier-specific limitations. In this study, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the transcytosis and delivery efficiency of RVG- and CPP.16-modified small EVs (sEVs) loaded with siRNAs. Using an in vitro BBB model, we found that these modifications do not alter the internalization of siRNAs by endothelial cells. Instead, these modifications appear to divert sEVs and siRNAs into transcytotic pathways, enabling their release into abluminal cells and subsequent target gene silencing. Moreover, RVG-sEVs primarily interact with the receptor and are internalized via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, leading to more efficient BBB penetration compared with CPP.16-sEVs. Consistently, in vivo studies demonstrate that RVG-sEVs deliver siRNAs more efficiently to both neurons and astrocytes compared with unmodified or CPP.16-sEVs. Our findings support the clinical potential of BBB-targeting peptides and provide critical insights for the rational selection of guiding peptides in central nervous system drug delivery."

Engineered exosomes-nanoscale extracellular vesicles of natural origin-have emerged as a promising platform for innovative AD therapy due to their excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and intrinsic ability to cross the BBB. This review provides a systematic overview of the synthetic and structural biological characteristics of exosomes, with a focus on their functionalisation through physical, chemical and genetic modifications. These approaches enable the targeted loading of therapeutic cargo and the conjugation of brain-targeting peptides, thereby facilitating precise delivery to specific brain regions and offering a multi-target therapeutic strategy for AD. We further examine the potential of engineered exosomes in modulating core AD pathological pathways, including amyloid-beta deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction, and highlight their utility as an integrated delivery system for the co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents to achieve synergistic therapeutic effects. Finally, key challenges in clinical translation are addressed, such as scalable production, standardised drug loading protocols and comprehensive assessment of safety and immunogenicity. Unlike previous reviews that primarily focus on general engineering techniques, this article emphasises a rational design strategy tailored for multi-target synergistic therapy and presents a comprehensive roadmap from basic research to clinical application, thereby providing both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the development of next-generation AD treatments.

However, there are currently no effective drug options for the clinical treatment of ALF. Herein, inspired by the new concept of a full-API nanodrug (FAND), we have rationally developed a quadruplex bioactive FAND (termed FANDHP@FuEVs) composed entirely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This FANDHP@FuEVs is constructed from fusion extracellular vesicles (FuEVs), which hybridize M2 macrophage-derived EVs (M2-EVs) with mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) and is subsequently engineered with two clinically therapeutic biomacromolecules: hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and polyene phosphatidylcholine (PPC). Notably, FANDHP@FuEVs efficiently targets the damaged liver, benefiting from the dual inherent inflammation-tropism of the FuEVs. Moreover, FANDHP@FuEVs harnesses quadruplex biological activities by leveraging four natural bioactive components-M2-EVs, MSC-EVs, HGF, and PPC-to deliver pleiotropic therapies, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative, and macrophage repolarization effects. These therapies are effective in treating ALF induced by both acetaminophen and hepatectomy, demonstrating significant clinical relevance based on data from patients with liver disease.

However, its therapeutic potential remains constrained by the nasal cavity's complex anatomy, the restricted surface area and permeability of the olfactory epithelium, and short drug residence times. Recent advances in nanotechnology and synthetic biology have enabled the development of autonomous and programmable delivery systems that can target the olfactory epithelium, enhance brain entry and sustain therapeutic release. This review highlights current strategies for engineering intranasal drug delivery vectors that can replicate or extend cellular functions to enable autonomous nose-to-brain drug delivery. These vectors include: synthetic nanoparticles that mimic essential cellular activities and allow for modular surface modification; extracellular vesicles that naturally carry therapeutic cargo and exhibit parent-cell-derived tropism; and living therapeutics, such as engineered microbes, viruses or stem cells, that respond dynamically to host environments and can be genetically programmed for precise payload production. Emphasis is placed on the modular design of functional components, host-responsive interactions tailored to anatomical and physiological cues, and the integration of programmable functions that collectively drive delivery autonomy and therapeutic efficacy. Together, these advances position intranasal delivery as a versatile platform for treating neurological disorders, offering a foundation for future translational development."

Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in neurodevelopment, neuronal homeostasis, and disease progression; however, their involvement in shared pathogenic pathways and clinical applications remains inadequately defined. This review consolidates recent experimental, transcriptomic, bioinformatic, and emerging clinical findings regarding the role of lncRNAs in NDDs. We examine how lncRNAs modulate common disease mechanisms, including protein misfolding and aggregation, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, ferroptosis, synaptic failure, and aging-related neurodegenerative processes. These regulatory functions occur through various mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications, transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional processes, and RNA-protein interactions, as well as novel mechanisms such as liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), peptide coding, and exosome-mediated intercellular communication.\u00a0Current evidence supports the potential of lncRNAs as minimally invasive liquid biopsy biomarkers, detectable in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and extracellular vesicles. Additionally, lncRNAs may serve as therapeutic targets through antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), gene editing, and engineered delivery platforms. Overall, lncRNAs have emerged as central molecular regulators and promising candidates for translation in NDDs. Nonetheless, challenges related to specificity, validation, delivery across the blood-brain barrier, and clinical standardization must be addressed before their routine application in precision neurology."

Therapeutic reprogramming of microglial activation from a pro-inflammatory (M1-like) to a reparative (M2-like) phenotype represents a promising strategy; however, the lack of cell-specific targeting within an injured brain has limited clinical translation. Here, we developed a targeted gene-editing nanotherapy to modulate post-traumatic innate immune responses. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating CRISPR-Cas12a components were engineered to target mitogen-activated protein kinase-9 (MAPK9), a key regulator of pro-inflammatory signaling, and were conjugated with an Iba-1 antibody (Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs) to enable selective targeting of microglia. In vitro, MAPK9 editing in primary macrophages inhibited M1 polarization and promoted an M2-like phenotype, leading to reduced production of proinflammatory cytokines. In a TBI mouse model, intranasal administration of Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs achieved efficient delivery to the injured brain, with selective localization in Iba-1+ microglia. MAPK9 CRISPR targeting significantly attenuated microglial activation, reduced central and peripheral inflammatory responses, and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Importantly, this approach demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with no detectable toxicity across major organs. Collectively, these findings establish a non-viral, intranasal CRISPR-based strategy for cell-specific modulation of neuroinflammation following TBI. Targeted genome editing of MAPK9 effectively reprograms microglial activation and attenuates acute inflammatory responses, highlighting its potential as a promising and translationally relevant therapeutic platform for TBI and related neuroinflammatory disorders."

Autophagy is essential for endothelial homeostasis, yet its role in aldosterone-mediated vascular dysfunction remains unclear. We tested whether aldosterone impairs autophagic flux and whether restoring autophagy via Beclin1 (BCN1) activation protects vascular and cardiac function. Endothelial and vascular responses to aldosterone were assessed in wild-type mice, BCN1 gain-of-function mice (Becn1), and mice treated with spermidine or a BCN1-activating TB-peptide. Vascular function, nitric oxide (NO)/reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, autophagy markers, endothelial migration, and cardiac fibrosis were evaluated using wire myography, fluorescence assays, Western blotting, confocal microscopy, migration assays, and histology. Aldosterone impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation, decreased NO, increased ROS, and disrupted autophagic flux in an MR-dependent manner, indicated by LC3 accumulation and reduced p62 and BCN1 expression. Spermidine restored endothelial function and normalized NO and ROS levels. BCN1 gain-of-function mice were protected from aldosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction and exhibited reduced coronary and myocardial fibrosis. TB-peptide activation of BCN1 enhanced autophagic flux, improved vascular function, decreased cardiac fibrosis, and rescued endothelial migration impaired by aldosterone. Aldosterone induces endothelial dysfunction by suppressing autophagic flux through MR activation. Genetic or pharmacologic enhancement of BCN1-dependent autophagy restores endothelial homeostasis and prevents vascular and cardiac injury, identifying autophagy activation as a promising therapeutic approach for cardiovascular diseases associated with mineralocorticoid excess."

The coordination of these metabolic changes across multicellular interactions and their contribution to organ-specific vulnerability remain poorly understood. Here we present a holistic framework linking macrophage metabolism to multicellular communication and organ vulnerability. We discuss how glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and fatty acid oxidation alter macrophage states via epigenetic and signaling mechanisms, producing metabolites that connect metabolism to inflammation. These signals reshape cellular networks through cytokines, extracellular vesicles, and damage-associated molecule patterns (DAMPs), differentially impacting organs with diverse metabolic demands, including the heart, lung, liver, kidney, brain, and intestine, resulting in distinct injury patterns. Our framework enhances understanding of sepsis-induced organ heterogeneity and advocates for stage-specific, organ-targeted therapies that consider integrated multicellular immunometabolic contributions."

It offers several advantages, such as rapid absorption, bypassing first-pass metabolism, direct nose-to-brain transport and localized effects. These benefits make it a promising approach for drug delivery in Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of intranasal delivery for Parkinson's disease treatment. Several studies on intranasal apomorphine reported rapid clinical response, improved UPDRS motor scores, tapping scores, and median Webster's scores, suggesting its effectiveness as a rescue therapy during \"off\" states. Intranasal recombinant erythropoietin was well tolerated and showed cognitive benefits. intranasal glutathione was safe and showed better bioavailability. Intranasal insulin improved cognitive performance without hypoglycemia, indicating a localized effect. Intranasal cholecystokinin and ipratropium bromide did not show significant benefits. Intranasal desmopressin is a safe and effective medication for nocturnal polyuria in Parkinson disease. Intranasal transplantation of neural stem cells is safe and is associated with functional improvement. Finally, Rivastigmine nasal spray offered better bioavailability and fewer side effects compared with conventional forms. The most common adverse effect was mild transient nasal or throat irritation. This review highlights the potential applications, efficacy, and side effects of various intranasal medications for Parkinson's disease and proposes using new interventions for future studies. The general benefits of nasal administration for Parkinson's disease treatment include localized effects, fewer side effects, faster onset of action, improved bioavailability, and enhanced therapeutic effectiveness."

Although current treatments modestly slow the disease progression, effective disease-modifying and curative therapies remain an urgent unmet need. SOD1 mutations are one of the major genetic causes of familial ALS. The p.Leu127Ser (L126S) and p.Gly94Ser (G93S) variants are clinically relevant pathogenic variants for which appropriate animal models are needed for preclinical evaluation of gene-editing therapies. However, most existing SOD1 models rely on high copy overexpression of mutant SOD1. Therefore, animal models carrying a single copy mutant human SOD1 allele are required for evaluating the in vivo efficacy of genome editing therapies. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair to generate a knock-in mouse line at the Gt(ROSA)26Sor (Rosa26) locus carrying a single-copy, 11-kb human SOD1 genomic fragment, including all exons and introns, with the L126S mutation. The Rosa26-hSOD1L126S mice did not develop ALS-like phenotypes during the limited observation period. However, they faithfully retained a single-copy mutant human SOD1 genomic allele, providing a valuable preclinical platform for evaluating genome-editing therapies. We also generated Rosa26-hSOD1G93S mice carrying the SOD1 G93S mutation with comparable efficiency. Together, these mutant human SOD1 knock-in mouse lines provide a versatile and clinically relevant platform for the preclinical evaluation of genome-editing therapies targeting heterozygous SOD1 mutations."

Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI."

Many components of MSC-derived EVs, including cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and miRNAs have been implicated in their anti-inflammatory effects. However, a major gap in our knowledge of using MSC as a therapeutic intervention for people with CF (pwCF) is whether the CF airway environment compromises miRNA cargo in hBM-MSC-derived EVs. To assess this, hBM-MSCs were exposed to cell culture media (control) or to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from pwCF or healthy controls (HC) and compositional analysis of EV miRNA content was conducted. Thirteen miRNAs (each \u22651% of the total miRNA content) were identified that collectively account for \u223c70% of the miRNA content of EVs. These miRNAs were remarkably stable across treatments. To infer potential therapeutic effects, we identified predicted gene targets of these miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis. Gene pathway analysis revealed that many of the 13 miRNAs are predicted to inhibit TLR signaling, NF-\u03baB activation, TGF-\u03b2-mediated fibrosis, and cytokine production. These results indicate that miRNAs secreted by hBM-MSCs in EVs may contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in experimental models and that exposure to CF BALF does not significantly diminish the abundance of the 13 miRNAs."

This review introduces extracellular vesicles (EVs) as an appropriate pharmaceutical engineering platform to address such challenges. While traditional treatments have inherent disadvantages, engineered EVs offer efficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, targeted delivery, and multi-therapeutic payload capacity for migraine-associated neural circuits. We introduce a framework for pathophysiology-informed technology by first discussing the role of native EVs in promoting the migraine cascade to identify specific sites of therapeutic intervention.

We continue with the critical analytical and manufacturing sciences needed to translate such engineered EVs from bench to bedside, addressing important translational challenges through scalable Good manufacturing practices (GMP) production, supported potency assays, and comprehensive quality assurance processes. These include potency tests, GMP production, and robust quality control that may be expanded. Finally, we combine all of these into a single translational pathway that examines the regulatory issues, the patent landscape, and the future of personalized EV therapeutics.

Currently, no treatment is available to halt or reverse the progression of the disease. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, accumulation of unfolded proteins and inflammation are interconnected key actors involved in ALS. A potent therapeutic strategy would be to find molecules that break this vicious circle leading to neuronal dysfunction and death. Targeting sigma-1 receptor (S1R) could meet this objective, as this chaperone protein modulates many cell survival mechanisms. So far, the impact of S1R activation in ALS has been studied using specific agonists and mostly on the SOD1 mutation that represents only 2% of patients. In the present study, the impact of two different S1R activators, the reference agonist PRE-084 and the positive modulator OZP002, was compared on two key ALS genes: TDP43 and C9orf72. The dissociation of S1R from Binding immunoglobulin Protein (BiP) was determined using ELISA. OZP002 toxicity was compared to PRE-084 on zebrafish larvae with increasing concentrations. The efficacy of OZP002 and PRE-084 was evaluated on the locomotor escape response of zebrafish expressing mutant TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. Their effects on NRF2 target gene expression were studied by qPCR. The beneficial effect was further examined on the locomotor performances of TDP43A315T mice using rotarod and beam walking tests. We also performed analysis on motor neuron loss and glial reactivity. OZP002 is a positive modulator of S1R, that increases the dissociation of the S1R-BiP complex induced by orthosteric agonists. S1R activation by both OZP002 and PRE-084 restored the locomotor response of ALS zebrafish expressing either TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. The neuroprotection was due at least in part to the NRF2 cascade stimulation but not with a direct interaction. More importantly, OZP002 and PRE-084 prevented locomotor defects and degeneration of spinal motor neurons in TDP43A315T transgenic mice. Astroglial and microglial reactivities were also reduced by both activators. We here emphasize the therapeutic value of S1R activation in mitigating ALS pathology. Additionally, we show that the positive modulators pave the way for the development of new S1R-activating compounds for ALS treatment."

Wild-type flies and swiss cheese (sws1) mutants were exposed to 0.5, 1, and 5\u2009mM spermidine from early adulthood. Lifespan analysis revealed that high-dose spermidine (5\u2009mM) reduced survival in both wild-type and sws1 mutants, whereas lower doses (0.5 and 1\u2009mM) significantly improved survival in mutants without affecting wild-type flies. Behavioral assays revealed that sws1 flies exhibited reduced climbing ability compared to controls, which was further decreased at 5\u2009mM. Lower concentrations did not significantly affect locomotor performance. Taste preference for trehalose, impaired in untreated sws1 mutants, was partially restored by spermidine at all tested concentrations. Histological analysis of 10-13-day-old mutants showed a concentration-dependent reduction in degeneration zones within the lamina and medulla at 0.5 and 1\u2009mM, whereas 5\u2009mM had no effect. Biochemical assays indicated mild pro-oxidant effects at 5\u2009mM, reflected by increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, while 0.5\u2009mM enhanced antioxidant defenses, including catalase activity and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). Our results suggest that spermidine at low doses has the potential to be a general-purpose neuroprotector."

Herein, we developed gallium-quercetin nanoparticles (GQNPs) as an intranasally deliverable nanoplatform for multi-target ferroptosis inhibition. In vitro, GQNPs suppressed ferroptosis by coordinating iron regulation and antioxidation. Ga3 + interfered with transferrin-mediated iron uptake to restrict iron influx, while quercetin reduced oxidative stress and supported iron homeostasis, thereby decreasing ROS accumulation and improving mitochondrial function. In vivo, intranasal delivery of GQNPs effectively bypassed the blood-brain barrier to recover motor coordination and cognitive function in PD mice. By integrating iron regulation, antioxidant activity, and mitochondrial protection within a single nanoplatform, this work highlights gallium-based coordination nanoparticles as a promising therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-associated neurodegenerative diseases."

Many components of MSC-derived EVs, including cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and miRNAs have been implicated in their anti-inflammatory effects. However, a major gap in our knowledge of using MSC as a therapeutic intervention for people with CF (pwCF) is whether the CF airway environment compromises miRNA cargo in hBM-MSC-derived EVs. To assess this, hBM-MSCs were exposed to cell culture media (control) or to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from pwCF or healthy controls (HC) and compositional analysis of EV miRNA content was conducted. Thirteen miRNAs (each \u22651% of the total miRNA content) were identified that collectively account for \u223c70% of the miRNA content of EVs. These miRNAs were remarkably stable across treatments. To infer potential therapeutic effects, we identified predicted gene targets of these miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis. Gene pathway analysis revealed that many of the 13 miRNAs are predicted to inhibit TLR signaling, NF-\u03baB activation, TGF-\u03b2-mediated fibrosis, and cytokine production. These results indicate that miRNAs secreted by hBM-MSCs in EVs may contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in experimental models and that exposure to CF BALF does not significantly diminish the abundance of the 13 miRNAs."

Growing evidence suggests that AD may also be considered a metabolic disorder closely associated with insulin resistance (IR). Impaired insulin signaling disrupts the PI3K/Akt and GSK3-\u03b2 pathways, resulting in synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and aberrant protein phosphorylation. Moreover, IR contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). These metabolic alterations, together with impaired energy homeostasis, dysregulate intracellular signaling cascades and exacerbate amyloid and tau pathology. This narrative review examines the mechanistic interplay among insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in AD, with particular emphasis on the shared cellular pathways that underlie disease progression. In addition, it summarizes emerging therapeutic strategies targeting insulin signaling, including pharmacological insulin-sensitizing agents, incretin-based therapies, lifestyle interventions, and bioactive natural compounds. The review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy. Despite substantial progress, the precise mechanisms linking insulin resistance to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Further mechanistic and translational studies are urgently required to elucidate these interactions and advance the development of effective therapeutic interventions."

            "finalResponse": "Yes. The synthesis is 100% veridical with the provided validated quotes and adheres to the evidentiary constraints. My evaluation of the AI's performance is as follows:\n\n1. Identification of Delivery Mechanism: The synthesis accurately claims S-GEVs cross the blood-brain barrier via olfactory routes using spermidine as a targeting ligand [ID: 41177462]. This is supported by the context which notes that these nanoparticles are absorbed by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) expressing TAAR5 [ID: 41177462].\n\n2. Therapeutic Mechanism of Spermidine: The synthesis correctly attributes the restoration of STMN2 expression and support for local protein synthesis to spermidine-mediated eIF5A hypusination [ID: 41430470]. This aligns with evidence that axonal spermidine treatment suppresses FUS-dependent defects [ID: 41430470].\n\n3. Modulation of Inflammation: The claim regarding the attenuation of neuroinflammation is supported by literature describing spermidine's role in reducing HMGB1 release and modulating microglial activation [ID: 41961384], as well as its capacity to suppress the NLRP3 inflammasome when using reassembled ginger EVs [ID: 42548959].\n\n4. CRISPR/Gene Editing Integration: The synthesis links gene-editing components to the delivery platform, which is verified by general literature provided on the potential of CRISPR for neurodegenerative disorders [ID: 41109516, ID: 41180498] and the specific use of engineered EVs for siRNA and gene-editing delivery [ID: 41177462, ID: 42079190].\n\n5.

This strategy integrates targeted delivery, gene-editing capability, and metabolic support to modulate neuroinflammation and protein synthesis.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe therapeutic management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains constrained by the systemic delivery of therapeutics and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Emerging evidence highlights that \"Intranasal drug delivery offers a promising, noninvasive route to bypass the BBB and directly target the brain through olfactory and trigeminal pathways.\" The utilization of naturally derived nanocarriers, specifically \"spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles\" can leverage \"the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy.\" \n\nIn the context of ALS, specifically C9orf72-related pathology, there is a \"downstream dysregulation of key neuronal genes such as STMN2 and UNC13A contributing to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction.\" Furthermore, \"Local protein synthesis is vital for neuronal function, but its dysregulation in neurodegenerative diseases remains poorly defined.\" Crucially, \"Axon-specific treatment with polyamine spermidine restores Eif5a hypusination and ameliorates mutant FUS-dependent neuronal defects, including suppression of local protein synthesis.\" By combining the \"non-viral, intranasal CRISPR-based strategy for cell-specific modulation of neuroinflammation\" with the \"OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination,\" it is mechanistically plausible that engineered S-GEVs can bridge the gap between gene-editing requirements and metabolic support for motor neurons.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Spermidine serves a dual role as both a targeting ligand for TAAR-mediated olfactory delivery and a bioactive modulator of eIF5A hypusination in axons.\n*   Ginger-derived EVs can be thermally reassembled or surface-modified to enhance their structural stability and endosomal escape properties.\n*   C9orf72 mutations involve RAN translation of dipeptide repeats, which creates a proteotoxic environment that can be mitigated by modulating MARK2-eIF2\u03b1 signaling.\n*   The olfactory-to-hippocampal route is not limited to cortex-based disorders but can facilitate distribution to deeper neuroanatomical targets involved in ALS.\n*   Therapeutic efficacy in ALS models has been shown to rely on the \"OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination\" which are significantly more abundant in young stem-cell derived EVs.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Intranasal Delivery of Gallium-Quercetin Nanoparticles for Multi-Target Ferroptosis Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease.. Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany). ID: 42565534.\n\n\n--- VALIDATED QUOTES ---\nTo improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA.\nThese nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy.\nOur results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain.\nAxon-specific treatment with polyamine spermidine restores Eif5a hypusination and ameliorates mutant FUS-dependent neuronal defects, including suppression of local protein synthesis.\nTDP-43 loss of nuclear function, leading to widespread RNA missplicing, and inclusion of cryptic exons, represents an early and critical event in ALS pathogenesis causing downstream dysregulation of key neuronal genes such as STMN2 and UNC13A contributing to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction.\nSpermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation.\nIntranasal drug delivery offers a promising, noninvasive route to bypass the BBB and directly target the brain through olfactory and trigeminal pathways.\nThe review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy.\nTreatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo.\nAdditionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner.\nLocal protein synthesis is vital for neuronal function, but its dysregulation in neurodegenerative diseases remains poorly defined.\nThis revolutionary tool allows for precise correction of genetic mutations associated with neurodegeneration, offering the potential for disease modification rather than symptom management alone.\nThe development of the CRISPR/Cas genome editing technologies, has increased possibilities for targeted repair of pathological mutations.\nC9-HRE iMG displayed C9-HRE-associated RNA foci and dipeptide repeat proteins.\n[This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2025.1681891.]\nOur data show alterations in phagocytic and autophagosomal/lysosomal pathways and gene expression profiles between C9-HRE and sporadic bvFTD iMG for the first time.\nOXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination are much richer in effective young iMSC-EVs compared with inert aging EVs.\nAKI-induced neurologic complications are associated with an early increase in BBB permeability and transcytosis of extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelium.\nSEC-EVs exhibited selective enrichment of membrane-associated and cell-wall-modifying proteins, reflecting their origin from envelope remodeling processes.\nConsistently, in vivo studies demonstrate that RVG-sEVs deliver siRNAs more efficiently to both neurons and astrocytes compared with unmodified or CPP.16-sEVs.\nHere, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs).\nBeyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform.\nEngineered exosomes are designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and provide stimuli-responsive release of therapeutic agents, enabling simultaneous clearance of amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and inhibition of neuroinflammation.\nOverall, the utilization of naturally derived or clinically approved APIs to construct full-bioactive nanodrugs creates opportunities for clinical translation as a safe, versatile, and multifaceted treatment for ALF.\nLoss of MARK2 significantly suppresses RAN translation in reporter cells, patient-derived neurons, and a mouse model and confers neuroprotection under proteotoxic conditions.\nRecent advances in nanotechnology and synthetic biology have enabled the development of autonomous and programmable delivery systems that can target the olfactory epithelium, enhance brain entry and sustain therapeutic release.\nAdditionally, lncRNAs may serve as therapeutic targets through antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), gene editing, and engineered delivery platforms.\nTargeted genome editing of MAPK9 effectively reprograms microglial activation and attenuates acute inflammatory responses, highlighting its potential as a promising and translationally relevant therapeutic platform for TBI and related neuroinflammatory disorders.\nSpermidine restored endothelial function and normalized NO and ROS levels.\nWe discuss how glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and fatty acid oxidation alter macrophage states via epigenetic and signaling mechanisms, producing metabolites that connect metabolism to inflammation.\nThe general benefits of nasal administration for Parkinson's disease treatment include localized effects, fewer side effects, faster onset of action, improved bioavailability, and enhanced therapeutic effectiveness.\nTogether, these mutant human SOD1 knock-in mouse lines provide a versatile and clinically relevant platform for the preclinical evaluation of genome-editing therapies targeting heterozygous SOD1 mutations.\nThese results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI.\nGene pathway analysis revealed that many of the 13 miRNAs are predicted to inhibit TLR signaling, NF-\u03baB activation, TGF-\u03b2-mediated fibrosis, and cytokine production.\nEmerging evidence implicates dysregulated IL-6 trans-signalling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis.\nWhile traditional treatments have inherent disadvantages, engineered EVs offer efficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, targeted delivery, and multi-therapeutic payload capacity for migraine-associated neural circuits.\nIn recent years, intranasal (IN) drug delivery has emerged as a promising strategy to bypass the BBB, providing a direct nose-to-brain delivery route via olfactory and trigeminal pathways while minimizing systemic exposure.\nIN administration delivers medications directly to the brain through both the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, with the olfactory pathway representing the primary route for nose-to-brain transport.\nMore importantly, OZP002 and PRE-084 prevented locomotor defects and degeneration of spinal motor neurons in TDP43A315T transgenic mice.\nOur results suggest that spermidine at low doses has the potential to be a general-purpose neuroprotector.\nHerein, we developed gallium-quercetin nanoparticles (GQNPs) as an intranasally deliverable nanoplatform for multi-target ferroptosis inhibition.\nGene pathway

The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway. The nanoparticles then escaped lysosomes, releasing siRNA into the cytoplasm, leading to gene downregulation and therapeutic benefits. Our results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain. Treatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, S-GEVs@siRNA nanoparticles rapidly reached the olfactory bulb through TAAR-mediated endocytosis, entered hippocampal neurons, downregulated Alox12B expression, exerted neuroprotective effects, and alleviated RBI-induced cognitive dysfunction. The designed nasal-to-brain delivery system holds great promise for treating various CNS diseases."

The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway.

Among transcripts found in mature axons, the most enriched biological process is protein translation, and localization of translation machinery was confirmed using multiplexed single-molecule spatial transcriptomics combined with immunofluorescence. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated mutations in the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS), which suppress local translation, disrupt the compartment-specific RNA signatures, including components of the translation machinery. In particular, eukaryotic initiation factor 5a (Eif5a), a translation factor involved in elongation and termination, is found to be locally impaired in mutant FUS axons with reduced levels of its active hypusinated form. Axon-specific treatment with polyamine spermidine restores Eif5a hypusination and ameliorates mutant FUS-dependent neuronal defects, including suppression of local protein synthesis.

Despite advances in understanding genetic and molecular contributors, effective disease-modifying therapies for sporadic ALS are of limited utility. The identification of the accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in 97% of total ALS cases represents a critical pathogenic hallmark. This review examines key biological mechanisms underlying TDP-43 pathology, emerging therapeutic strategies, and evolving approaches to clinical trial design and biomarker development. TDP-43 loss of nuclear function, leading to widespread RNA missplicing, and inclusion of cryptic exons, represents an early and critical event in ALS pathogenesis causing downstream dysregulation of key neuronal genes such as STMN2 and UNC13A contributing to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction. Therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways are currently under investigation. Additional approaches aim to ameliorate TDP-43 gain-of-function through cytoplasmic TDP-43 aggregation or modulating processes such as stress responses and RNA metabolism, although clinical translation has been challenging. Advances in biomarkers, including neurofilament light chain and cryptic exon-derived peptides, provide tools for developing efficient clinical trials. However, heterogeneity in disease progression and limitations of available clinical endpoints complicate trial design. Integration of biological insights with biomarker-driven patient stratification and optimized trial methodologies is essential to improve clinical trial outcomes. Emerging biomarkers may enable earlier diagnosis, monitoring of therapeutic response, and personalized treatment approaches. Continued alignment of biological discovery with innovative clinical trial design holds promise for advancing effective therapies and transforming the future of ALS."

Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI."

Intranasal drug delivery offers a promising, noninvasive route to bypass the BBB and directly target the brain through olfactory and trigeminal pathways. This review explores the pharmacology of antiretroviral drugs, the challenges they face in CNS delivery, and the advantages of intranasal administration for treating NeuroAIDS. We examine physicochemical properties influencing BBB penetration and the mechanisms of nose-to-brain transport, along with their benefits and challenges. The review further evaluates the use of polymeric and lipid-based nanocarrier systems that improve drug stability, nasal residence time, and neuronal transport. Key anatomical considerations for targeting the olfactory region and design parameters for specialized intranasal delivery devices are also discussed. Despite anatomical and physiological challenges, advancements in nanotechnology and device engineering are enhancing CNS drug delivery efficiency. Combining antiretroviral-loaded nanocarriers with targeted nasal delivery devices represents a compelling strategy to improve therapeutic outcomes for HAND. This integrative approach holds significant potential to overcome CNS viral reservoirs, reduce neurocognitive impairment, and advance the eradication of NeuroAIDS. Many people with HIV continue to experience memory and thinking problems, known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), even when taking modern treatments. This happens because many antiretroviral drugs cannot cross the blood \u2013 brain barrier and HIV is able to hide in the brain. Delivering drugs through the nose is a promising way to bypass this barrier and send medicine directly to the brain through natural nerve pathways. This review looks at how the properties of antiretroviral drugs affect brain delivery, the mechanisms by which drugs can move from the nose to the brain, and the advantages and challenges of this route. It also examines the use of nanocarriers, such as lipid- and polymer-based systems, which can improve drug stability, keep drugs in the nasal cavity longer, and enhance their transport to brain cells. The review then discusses anatomical features important for targeting the olfactory region and highlights device designs that improve nasal delivery. Although challenges remain, recent progress in nanotechnology and device engineering shows strong potential to increase the effectiveness of brain drug delivery. Combining advanced nanocarriers with specialized nasal devices may improve treatment for HAND by better reaching hidden HIV in the brain and reducing long-term cognitive problems."

Growing evidence suggests that AD may also be considered a metabolic disorder closely associated with insulin resistance (IR). Impaired insulin signaling disrupts the PI3K/Akt and GSK3-\u03b2 pathways, resulting in synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and aberrant protein phosphorylation. Moreover, IR contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). These metabolic alterations, together with impaired energy homeostasis, dysregulate intracellular signaling cascades and exacerbate amyloid and tau pathology. This narrative review examines the mechanistic interplay among insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in AD, with particular emphasis on the shared cellular pathways that underlie disease progression. In addition, it summarizes emerging therapeutic strategies targeting insulin signaling, including pharmacological insulin-sensitizing agents, incretin-based therapies, lifestyle interventions, and bioactive natural compounds. The review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy. Despite substantial progress, the precise mechanisms linking insulin resistance to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Further mechanistic and translational studies are urgently required to elucidate these interactions and advance the development of effective therapeutic interventions."

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could ameliorate this adverse effect, but their application is limited by high variations of conventional tissue-derived MSCs and many practical challenges of cell therapies. This study investigated the potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from standardized MSCs derived from iPS cells (iMSCs) in ameliorating radiation-caused dry mouth. In a mouse model, locally injected young but not aging iMSC-EVs after radiation preserved saliva secretion and acinar structures. Mechanistically, young iMSC-EVs reversed the acute inhibition of physiological inflammation and chronic increase of pathogenic inflammation in radiated salivary glands, which is related to the preservation of tissue-resident macrophages and polarization of infiltrated macrophages. At both acute and chronic phase after radiation, iMSC-EVs enhanced mitochondria-related cell metabolism pathways such as Oxidative Phosphorylation that modulate cell survival and macrophage polarization. OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination are much richer in effective young iMSC-EVs compared with inert aging EVs. Moreover, young iMSC-EV treatment increased hypusinated eIF5A in radiated salivary glands, especially in macrophages. These findings together indicated that iMSC-EVs are a promising cell-free product to restore salivary gland function impaired by radiation, which is mediated by maintaining immune balance and mitochondria-related cell metabolism at both acute and chronic phases."

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a central mechanism associated with cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease. The objectives of this study were to characterize the influence of AKI on brain alteration and BBB permeability in a preclinical model. We performed a mouse model of unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury without or with AKI (obtained by removing the contralateral kidney before ischemia). All animals were 7-week-old male C57Bl/6J mice, randomly assigned to groups: AKI, kidney ischemia-reperfusion alone, or control. We assessed neurologic impairment using the modified neurologic severity score and motricity evaluations, quantified BBB disruption by cerebral extravasation of Evans blue and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging with Gallium-68 diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (68Ga-DTPA), and performed immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy on brain sections. In mice with AKI, we found neurologic impairment, decreased spontaneous motricity, and cerebral extravasation of Evans blue, which were not observed in mice with renal ischemia-reperfusion without nephrectomy. Cerebral 68Ga-DTPA PET/CT imaging with imaging confirmed the BBB disruption. In addition, we observed more extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelial cells by electron microscopy in AKI mice compared with controls.

However, the molecular composition and biological interpretation of bacterial EV proteomes are heavily influenced by the isolation methods. In this study, we systematically compared ultracentrifugation (UC) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for isolating EVs from Lactobacillus reuteri, assessing their impact on EV yield, purity, and proteomic profiles. Although UC yielded significantly more EVs than SEC, it also resulted in lower purity, as evidenced by higher protein contamination and a decreased particle-to-protein ratio. In contrast, SEC improved EV purity by approximately 6.45-fold, effectively removing non-vesicular proteins. Our quantitative proteomics analysis identified 670 in UC-EVs and 858 in SEC-EVs.-- UC-EVs were primarily enriched with cytosolic metabolic enzymes, ribosomal proteins, and components associated with macromolecular complexes, indicating cosedimentation artifacts during UC. Conversely, SEC-EVs exhibited selective enrichment of membrane-associated and cell-wall-modifying proteins, reflecting their origin from envelope remodeling processes. Notably, SEC-EVs contained several proteins, including NLP/P60, peptidoglycan hydrolases, and lipoproteins linked to anti-inflammatory activities. Overall, our findings illustrate that EV proteomes are highly dependent on the isolation method and highlight SEC as a superior approach for enhancing proteomic specificity and biological interpretability in bacterial EV research."

Among targeting strategies, the rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) peptide is the most commonly used modification on the EV surface to enable efficient systemic delivery of EVs. Although RVG is widely believed to facilitate blood-brain barrier (BBB) through receptor interactions, the underlying mechanism remains indirect and equivocal. Similarly, cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) modifications have been used to enhance BBB transport of various vehicles, such as CPP.16, which improves the brain delivery efficiency of adeno-associated virus 9 capsids. However, whether CPP.16 retains its delivery efficacy when applied to EVs remains unclear, raising concerns about carrier-specific limitations. In this study, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the transcytosis and delivery efficiency of RVG- and CPP.16-modified small EVs (sEVs) loaded with siRNAs. Using an in vitro BBB model, we found that these modifications do not alter the internalization of siRNAs by endothelial cells. Instead, these modifications appear to divert sEVs and siRNAs into transcytotic pathways, enabling their release into abluminal cells and subsequent target gene silencing. Moreover, RVG-sEVs primarily interact with the receptor and are internalized via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, leading to more efficient BBB penetration compared with CPP.16-sEVs. Consistently, in vivo studies demonstrate that RVG-sEVs deliver siRNAs more efficiently to both neurons and astrocytes compared with unmodified or CPP.16-sEVs. Our findings support the clinical potential of BBB-targeting peptides and provide critical insights for the rational selection of guiding peptides in central nervous system drug delivery."

Engineered exosomes-nanoscale extracellular vesicles of natural origin-have emerged as a promising platform for innovative AD therapy due to their excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and intrinsic ability to cross the BBB. This review provides a systematic overview of the synthetic and structural biological characteristics of exosomes, with a focus on their functionalisation through physical, chemical and genetic modifications. These approaches enable the targeted loading of therapeutic cargo and the conjugation of brain-targeting peptides, thereby facilitating precise delivery to specific brain regions and offering a multi-target therapeutic strategy for AD. We further examine the potential of engineered exosomes in modulating core AD pathological pathways, including amyloid-beta deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction, and highlight their utility as an integrated delivery system for the co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents to achieve synergistic therapeutic effects. Finally, key challenges in clinical translation are addressed, such as scalable production, standardised drug loading protocols and comprehensive assessment of safety and immunogenicity. Unlike previous reviews that primarily focus on general engineering techniques, this article emphasises a rational design strategy tailored for multi-target synergistic therapy and presents a comprehensive roadmap from basic research to clinical application, thereby providing both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the development of next-generation AD treatments.

However, there are currently no effective drug options for the clinical treatment of ALF. Herein, inspired by the new concept of a full-API nanodrug (FAND), we have rationally developed a quadruplex bioactive FAND (termed FANDHP@FuEVs) composed entirely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This FANDHP@FuEVs is constructed from fusion extracellular vesicles (FuEVs), which hybridize M2 macrophage-derived EVs (M2-EVs) with mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) and is subsequently engineered with two clinically therapeutic biomacromolecules: hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and polyene phosphatidylcholine (PPC). Notably, FANDHP@FuEVs efficiently targets the damaged liver, benefiting from the dual inherent inflammation-tropism of the FuEVs. Moreover, FANDHP@FuEVs harnesses quadruplex biological activities by leveraging four natural bioactive components-M2-EVs, MSC-EVs, HGF, and PPC-to deliver pleiotropic therapies, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative, and macrophage repolarization effects. These therapies are effective in treating ALF induced by both acetaminophen and hepatectomy, demonstrating significant clinical relevance based on data from patients with liver disease.

Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in neurodevelopment, neuronal homeostasis, and disease progression; however, their involvement in shared pathogenic pathways and clinical applications remains inadequately defined. This review consolidates recent experimental, transcriptomic, bioinformatic, and emerging clinical findings regarding the role of lncRNAs in NDDs. We examine how lncRNAs modulate common disease mechanisms, including protein misfolding and aggregation, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, ferroptosis, synaptic failure, and aging-related neurodegenerative processes. These regulatory functions occur through various mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications, transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional processes, and RNA-protein interactions, as well as novel mechanisms such as liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), peptide coding, and exosome-mediated intercellular communication.\u00a0Current evidence supports the potential of lncRNAs as minimally invasive liquid biopsy biomarkers, detectable in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and extracellular vesicles.

Therapeutic reprogramming of microglial activation from a pro-inflammatory (M1-like) to a reparative (M2-like) phenotype represents a promising strategy; however, the lack of cell-specific targeting within an injured brain has limited clinical translation. Here, we developed a targeted gene-editing nanotherapy to modulate post-traumatic innate immune responses. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating CRISPR-Cas12a components were engineered to target mitogen-activated protein kinase-9 (MAPK9), a key regulator of pro-inflammatory signaling, and were conjugated with an Iba-1 antibody (Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs) to enable selective targeting of microglia. In vitro, MAPK9 editing in primary macrophages inhibited M1 polarization and promoted an M2-like phenotype, leading to reduced production of proinflammatory cytokines. In a TBI mouse model, intranasal administration of Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs achieved efficient delivery to the injured brain, with selective localization in Iba-1+ microglia. MAPK9 CRISPR targeting significantly attenuated microglial activation, reduced central and peripheral inflammatory responses, and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Importantly, this approach demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with no detectable toxicity across major organs. Collectively, these findings establish a non-viral, intranasal CRISPR-based strategy for cell-specific modulation of neuroinflammation following TBI. Targeted genome editing of MAPK9 effectively reprograms microglial activation and attenuates acute inflammatory responses, highlighting its potential as a promising and translationally relevant therapeutic platform for TBI and related neuroinflammatory disorders."

Autophagy is essential for endothelial homeostasis, yet its role in aldosterone-mediated vascular dysfunction remains unclear. We tested whether aldosterone impairs autophagic flux and whether restoring autophagy via Beclin1 (BCN1) activation protects vascular and cardiac function. Endothelial and vascular responses to aldosterone were assessed in wild-type mice, BCN1 gain-of-function mice (Becn1), and mice treated with spermidine or a BCN1-activating TB-peptide. Vascular function, nitric oxide (NO)/reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, autophagy markers, endothelial migration, and cardiac fibrosis were evaluated using wire myography, fluorescence assays, Western blotting, confocal microscopy, migration assays, and histology. Aldosterone impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation, decreased NO, increased ROS, and disrupted autophagic flux in an MR-dependent manner, indicated by LC3 accumulation and reduced p62 and BCN1 expression. Spermidine restored endothelial function and normalized NO and ROS levels. BCN1 gain-of-function mice were protected from aldosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction and exhibited reduced coronary and myocardial fibrosis. TB-peptide activation of BCN1 enhanced autophagic flux, improved vascular function, decreased cardiac fibrosis, and rescued endothelial migration impaired by aldosterone. Aldosterone induces endothelial dysfunction by suppressing autophagic flux through MR activation. Genetic or pharmacologic enhancement of BCN1-dependent autophagy restores endothelial homeostasis and prevents vascular and cardiac injury, identifying autophagy activation as a promising therapeutic approach for cardiovascular diseases associated with mineralocorticoid excess."

Recent evidence highlights macrophage metabolic reprogramming as a critical driver of immune responses, yet macrophages operate within a broader immunometabolic network involving dendritic cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes that collectively shape sepsis outcomes. The coordination of these metabolic changes across multicellular interactions and their contribution to organ-specific vulnerability remain poorly understood. Here we present a holistic framework linking macrophage metabolism to multicellular communication and organ vulnerability. We discuss how glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and fatty acid oxidation alter macrophage states via epigenetic and signaling mechanisms, producing metabolites that connect metabolism to inflammation. These signals reshape cellular networks through cytokines, extracellular vesicles, and damage-associated molecule patterns (DAMPs), differentially impacting organs with diverse metabolic demands, including the heart, lung, liver, kidney, brain, and intestine, resulting in distinct injury patterns. Our framework enhances understanding of sepsis-induced organ heterogeneity and advocates for stage-specific, organ-targeted therapies that consider integrated multicellular immunometabolic contributions."

It offers several advantages, such as rapid absorption, bypassing first-pass metabolism, direct nose-to-brain transport and localized effects. These benefits make it a promising approach for drug delivery in Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of intranasal delivery for Parkinson's disease treatment. Several studies on intranasal apomorphine reported rapid clinical response, improved UPDRS motor scores, tapping scores, and median Webster's scores, suggesting its effectiveness as a rescue therapy during \"off\" states. Intranasal recombinant erythropoietin was well tolerated and showed cognitive benefits. intranasal glutathione was safe and showed better bioavailability. Intranasal insulin improved cognitive performance without hypoglycemia, indicating a localized effect. Intranasal cholecystokinin and ipratropium bromide did not show significant benefits. Intranasal desmopressin is a safe and effective medication for nocturnal polyuria in Parkinson disease. Intranasal transplantation of neural stem cells is safe and is associated with functional improvement. Finally, Rivastigmine nasal spray offered better bioavailability and fewer side effects compared with conventional forms. The most common adverse effect was mild transient nasal or throat irritation. This review highlights the potential applications, efficacy, and side effects of various intranasal medications for Parkinson's disease and proposes using new interventions for future studies. The general benefits of nasal administration for Parkinson's disease treatment include localized effects, fewer side effects, faster onset of action, improved bioavailability, and enhanced therapeutic effectiveness."

Although current treatments modestly slow the disease progression, effective disease-modifying and curative therapies remain an urgent unmet need. SOD1 mutations are one of the major genetic causes of familial ALS. The p.Leu127Ser (L126S) and p.Gly94Ser (G93S) variants are clinically relevant pathogenic variants for which appropriate animal models are needed for preclinical evaluation of gene-editing therapies. However, most existing SOD1 models rely on high copy overexpression of mutant SOD1. Therefore, animal models carrying a single copy mutant human SOD1 allele are required for evaluating the in vivo efficacy of genome editing therapies. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair to generate a knock-in mouse line at the Gt(ROSA)26Sor (Rosa26) locus carrying a single-copy, 11-kb human SOD1 genomic fragment, including all exons and introns, with the L126S mutation. The Rosa26-hSOD1L126S mice did not develop ALS-like phenotypes during the limited observation period. However, they faithfully retained a single-copy mutant human SOD1 genomic allele, providing a valuable preclinical platform for evaluating genome-editing therapies. We also generated Rosa26-hSOD1G93S mice carrying the SOD1 G93S mutation with comparable efficiency. Together, these mutant human SOD1 knock-in mouse lines provide a versatile and clinically relevant platform for the preclinical evaluation of genome-editing therapies targeting heterozygous SOD1 mutations."

Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI."

Many components of MSC-derived EVs, including cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and miRNAs have been implicated in their anti-inflammatory effects. However, a major gap in our knowledge of using MSC as a therapeutic intervention for people with CF (pwCF) is whether the CF airway environment compromises miRNA cargo in hBM-MSC-derived EVs. To assess this, hBM-MSCs were exposed to cell culture media (control) or to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from pwCF or healthy controls (HC) and compositional analysis of EV miRNA content was conducted. Thirteen miRNAs (each \u22651% of the total miRNA content) were identified that collectively account for \u223c70% of the miRNA content of EVs. These miRNAs were remarkably stable across treatments. To infer potential therapeutic effects, we identified predicted gene targets of these miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis.

Current systemic therapies, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors, offer benefits but have limited efficacy and may cause adverse effects; thus, highlighting the need for targeted delivery across the BBB. This review introduces extracellular vesicles (EVs) as an appropriate pharmaceutical engineering platform to address such challenges. While traditional treatments have inherent disadvantages, engineered EVs offer efficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, targeted delivery, and multi-therapeutic payload capacity for migraine-associated neural circuits. We introduce a framework for pathophysiology-informed technology by first discussing the role of native EVs in promoting the migraine cascade to identify specific sites of therapeutic intervention. In this review, the focus is on pharmaceutical nanotechnology, starting with the strategic selection of producer cells, including \"Hijack & Modify\" vs De Novo Design, and continuing through sequential nano-engineering of EVs by surface functionalization and utilization of hybrid vesicles for targeting the BBB and trigeminovascular systems to state-of-the-art smart-release systems. We continue with the critical analytical and manufacturing sciences needed to translate such engineered EVs from bench to bedside, addressing important translational challenges through scalable Good manufacturing practices (GMP) production, supported potency assays, and comprehensive quality assurance processes. These include potency tests, GMP production, and robust quality control that may be expanded. Finally, we combine all of these into a single translational pathway that examines the regulatory issues, the patent landscape, and the future of personalized EV therapeutics. The current review provides an exhaustive framework for developing EV-based treatments by combining cutting-edge pharmaceutical nanotechnology with deep biological insights to make migraine treatment more reliable."

Currently, no treatment is available to halt or reverse the progression of the disease. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, accumulation of unfolded proteins and inflammation are interconnected key actors involved in ALS. A potent therapeutic strategy would be to find molecules that break this vicious circle leading to neuronal dysfunction and death. Targeting sigma-1 receptor (S1R) could meet this objective, as this chaperone protein modulates many cell survival mechanisms. So far, the impact of S1R activation in ALS has been studied using specific agonists and mostly on the SOD1 mutation that represents only 2% of patients. In the present study, the impact of two different S1R activators, the reference agonist PRE-084 and the positive modulator OZP002, was compared on two key ALS genes: TDP43 and C9orf72. The dissociation of S1R from Binding immunoglobulin Protein (BiP) was determined using ELISA. OZP002 toxicity was compared to PRE-084 on zebrafish larvae with increasing concentrations. The efficacy of OZP002 and PRE-084 was evaluated on the locomotor escape response of zebrafish expressing mutant TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. Their effects on NRF2 target gene expression were studied by qPCR. The beneficial effect was further examined on the locomotor performances of TDP43A315T mice using rotarod and beam walking tests. We also performed analysis on motor neuron loss and glial reactivity. OZP002 is a positive modulator of S1R, that increases the dissociation of the S1R-BiP complex induced by orthosteric agonists. S1R activation by both OZP002 and PRE-084 restored the locomotor response of ALS zebrafish expressing either TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. The neuroprotection was due at least in part to the NRF2 cascade stimulation but not with a direct interaction. More importantly, OZP002 and PRE-084 prevented locomotor defects and degeneration of spinal motor neurons in TDP43A315T transgenic mice. Astroglial and microglial reactivities were also reduced by both activators. We here emphasize the therapeutic value of S1R activation in mitigating ALS pathology. Additionally, we show that the positive modulators pave the way for the development of new S1R-activating compounds for ALS treatment."

Here, we investigated the effects of spermidine on lifespan, behavioral responses, brain tissue, target gene expression, and antioxidant status in Drosophila melanogaster model of age-dependent neurodegeneration. Wild-type flies and swiss cheese (sws1) mutants were exposed to 0.5, 1, and 5\u2009mM spermidine from early adulthood. Lifespan analysis revealed that high-dose spermidine (5\u2009mM) reduced survival in both wild-type and sws1 mutants, whereas lower doses (0.5 and 1\u2009mM) significantly improved survival in mutants without affecting wild-type flies. Behavioral assays revealed that sws1 flies exhibited reduced climbing ability compared to controls, which was further decreased at 5\u2009mM. Lower concentrations did not significantly affect locomotor performance. Taste preference for trehalose, impaired in untreated sws1 mutants, was partially restored by spermidine at all tested concentrations.

Herein, we developed gallium-quercetin nanoparticles (GQNPs) as an intranasally deliverable nanoplatform for multi-target ferroptosis inhibition. In vitro, GQNPs suppressed ferroptosis by coordinating iron regulation and antioxidation. Ga3 + interfered with transferrin-mediated iron uptake to restrict iron influx, while quercetin reduced oxidative stress and supported iron homeostasis, thereby decreasing ROS accumulation and improving mitochondrial function. In vivo, intranasal delivery of GQNPs effectively bypassed the blood-brain barrier to recover motor coordination and cognitive function in PD mice. By integrating iron regulation, antioxidant activity, and mitochondrial protection within a single nanoplatform, this work highlights gallium-based coordination nanoparticles as a promising therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-associated neurodegenerative diseases."

Many components of MSC-derived EVs, including cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and miRNAs have been implicated in their anti-inflammatory effects. However, a major gap in our knowledge of using MSC as a therapeutic intervention for people with CF (pwCF) is whether the CF airway environment compromises miRNA cargo in hBM-MSC-derived EVs. To assess this, hBM-MSCs were exposed to cell culture media (control) or to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from pwCF or healthy controls (HC) and compositional analysis of EV miRNA content was conducted. Thirteen miRNAs (each \u22651% of the total miRNA content) were identified that collectively account for \u223c70% of the miRNA content of EVs. These miRNAs were remarkably stable across treatments. To infer potential therapeutic effects, we identified predicted gene targets of these miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis. Gene pathway analysis revealed that many of the 13 miRNAs are predicted to inhibit TLR signaling, NF-\u03baB activation, TGF-\u03b2-mediated fibrosis, and cytokine production. These results indicate that miRNAs secreted by hBM-MSCs in EVs may contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in experimental models and that exposure to CF BALF does not significantly diminish the abundance of the 13 miRNAs."

Growing evidence suggests that AD may also be considered a metabolic disorder closely associated with insulin resistance (IR). Impaired insulin signaling disrupts the PI3K/Akt and GSK3-\u03b2 pathways, resulting in synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and aberrant protein phosphorylation. Moreover, IR contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). These metabolic alterations, together with impaired energy homeostasis, dysregulate intracellular signaling cascades and exacerbate amyloid and tau pathology. This narrative review examines the mechanistic interplay among insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in AD, with particular emphasis on the shared cellular pathways that underlie disease progression. In addition, it summarizes emerging therapeutic strategies targeting insulin signaling, including pharmacological insulin-sensitizing agents, incretin-based therapies, lifestyle interventions, and bioactive natural compounds. The review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy. Despite substantial progress, the precise mechanisms linking insulin resistance to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Further mechanistic and translational studies are urgently required to elucidate these interactions and advance the development of effective therapeutic interventions."

This strategy integrates targeted delivery, gene-editing capability, and metabolic support to modulate neuroinflammation and protein synthesis.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe therapeutic management of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains constrained by the systemic delivery of therapeutics and the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Emerging evidence highlights that \"Intranasal drug delivery offers a promising, noninvasive route to bypass the BBB and directly target the brain through olfactory and trigeminal pathways.\" The utilization of naturally derived nanocarriers, specifically \"spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles\" can leverage \"the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy.\" \n\nIn the context of ALS, specifically C9orf72-related pathology, there is a \"downstream dysregulation of key neuronal genes such as STMN2 and UNC13A contributing to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction.\" Furthermore, \"Local protein synthesis is vital for neuronal function, but its dysregulation in neurodegenerative diseases remains poorly defined.\" Crucially, \"Axon-specific treatment with polyamine spermidine restores Eif5a hypusination and ameliorates mutant FUS-dependent neuronal defects, including suppression of local protein synthesis.\" By combining the \"non-viral, intranasal CRISPR-based strategy for cell-specific modulation of neuroinflammation\" with the \"OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination,\" it is mechanistically plausible that engineered S-GEVs can bridge the gap between gene-editing requirements and metabolic support for motor neurons.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Spermidine serves a dual role as both a targeting ligand for TAAR-mediated olfactory delivery and a bioactive modulator of eIF5A hypusination in axons.\n*   Ginger-derived EVs can be thermally reassembled or surface-modified to enhance their structural stability and endosomal escape properties.\n*   C9orf72 mutations involve RAN translation of dipeptide repeats, which creates a proteotoxic environment that can be mitigated by modulating MARK2-eIF2\u03b1 signaling.\n*   The olfactory-to-hippocampal route is not limited to cortex-based disorders but can facilitate distribution to deeper neuroanatomical targets involved in ALS.\n*   Therapeutic efficacy in ALS models has been shown to rely on the \"OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination\" which are significantly more abundant in young stem-cell derived EVs.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Emerging evidence highlights physical activity as a potent modulator of this bidirectional communication system, with muscle-derived signals particularly myokines, metabolites, and extracellular vesicles playing a central role. This narrative review synthesizes current knowledge on how exercise-induced molecular mediators influence gut microbiota composition, intestinal barrier integrity, immune signaling, and neuroinflammatory pathways. Findings were integrated across the disciplines of neuroscience, microbiology, and exercise physiology to evaluate mechanistic links between muscle-secreted factors and gut-mediated responses. Mechanistic links exist between muscle-secreted factors such as irisin, cathepsin B, BDNF-inducing pathways, and lactate with microbial metabolites including short-chain fatty acids. These interacting pathways demonstrate a combined impact on neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity, and the modulation of disease progression in neurodegenerative conditions. Physical activity represents a promising non-pharmacological strategy for modulating the gut-brain axis in neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding the interplay between muscle-derived signals and gut-mediated pathways may open new avenues for targeted interventions aimed at slowing or preventing neurodegenerative decline.\n\nID: 42575454\nTitle: Differential consequences of traumatic brain injury in male rat hippocampus hemispheres and the beneficial effect of neuropeptide Y.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a complex cascade of secondary injury mechanisms, including neurovascular dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and glial activation, which progressively contribute to long-term neurological deficits. Although the primary mechanical insult is typically unilateral, secondary pathological processes can extend beyond the impact site. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of these bilateral alterations remains poorly understood. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous neuromodulator with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising candidate for limiting secondary brain injury. Here, we characterized the bilateral hippocampal response to experimental TBI and evaluated whether early intranasal NPY administration post-TBI attenuates neurovascular and neuroinflammatory alterations while improving behavioral outcomes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a closed-head weight-drop model of TBI and treated intranasally with NPY (100\u202f\u03bcg/animal) or vehicle 30\u202fmin after injury. Molecular, histological, and behavioral analyses were performed 48\u202fh and 7\u202fdays post-injury. We concluded that TBI induced distinct spatiotemporal pathological responses in the hippocampi. The ipsilateral hippocampus exhibited early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and astrocytic alterations, whereas the contralateral hippocampus developed a more pronounced and sustained inflammatory response characterized by microglial activation and increased expression of inflammatory and endothelial activation markers. Early intranasal NPY administration attenuated these bilateral pathological alterations by preserving BBB integrity, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, and normalizing glial morphology. These neurobiological effects were accompanied by improvements in spatial working memory and anxiety-related behaviors. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that unilateral TBI induces distinct bilateral secondary injury responses within the hippocampus and identify early intranasal NPY administration as a promising strategy. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and establish the long-term therapeutic potential of NPY.\n\nID: 42570971\nTitle: Brain-targeted intranasal aripiprazole via modified chitosan nanoparticles: controlled release, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics.\nAbstract: Schizophrenia remains one of the most disabling mental disorders, and effective therapy is still limited by the difficulty of delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier. Aripiprazole (Ari), a first-line atypical antipsychotic, exhibits restricted clinical performance due to poor solubility, extensive hepatic metabolism, and limited brain exposure. Herein, a novel intranasal nanocarrier system was developed to enable direct and sustained delivery of Ari to the brain. Chitosan nanoparticles (Cs-NPs) surface-modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were prepared by the ionic gelation method and optimized using a Box-Behnken design to evaluate the effects of SDS concentration, pH, and chitosan-to-tripolyphosphate ratio on particle size, zeta potential, and drug entrapment. The optimized formulation showed a mean particle size of ~\u2009200\u00a0nm, a positive surface charge, and an entrapment efficiency of 76.98\u2009\u00b1\u20097.6%. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed spherical morphology, while the in vitro release profile exhibited an initial burst followed by a sustained phase, indicating controlled-release behavior. Pharmacokinetic evaluation using LC-MS/MS revealed significantly enhanced Ari bioavailability and brain uptake following intranasal administration of the optimized Cs-NPs compared with oral, intravenous, and intranasal solutions. Pharmacodynamic testing in a ketamine-induced psychosis rat model (open-field and forced-swim tests) demonstrated improved antipsychotic efficacy. Neurochemical analysis showed restoration of dopamine and \u03b3-aminobutyric acid levels, while histopathological findings confirmed structural improvement in hippocampal and cortical regions. Collectively, these results highlight the potential of modified Cs-NPs as a controlled-release, nose-to-brain delivery platform that enhances the therapeutic performance of Ari for the management of schizophrenia.\n\nID: 42552042\nTitle: Brain energy crisis in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease: Nanotechnology as a therapeutic strategy.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are increasingly recognized as disorders marked not only by protein aggregation but by a sustained failure of brain energy metabolism. Years before overt cognitive or motor symptoms emerge, neurons begin to experience impaired glucose utilization, mitochondrial dysfunction, and declining ATP production. Because the brain is highly energy-dependent, even subtle metabolic disturbances can disrupt synaptic function, impair neuronal signaling, and trigger oxidative stress. As mitochondrial efficiency declines, reactive oxygen species accumulate, inflammatory pathways become chronically activated, and damaged cellular components are insufficiently cleared, creating a vicious cycle that accelerates neurodegeneration. Conventional metabolic therapies, including antioxidants and mitochondrial cofactors, have produced limited clinical success, largely due to poor penetration across the blood-brain barrier and lack of specificity for vulnerable neuronal populations and intracellular targets such as mitochondria. Nanotechnology introduces a more precise therapeutic strategy by enabling targeted delivery of metabolic modulators directly to the brain. Engineered nanocarriers can be designed to cross biological barriers, enhance drug stability, and release therapeutic agents in a controlled or stimuli-responsive manner within diseased regions. Advanced systems including polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based carriers, intranasal nano formulations, biomimetic vesicles, and catalytic nanozymes offer the ability to simultaneously modulate oxidative stress, restore mitochondrial function, and regulate neuroinflammation. By integrating delivery precision with metabolic intervention, neuro-nanomedicine shifts the therapeutic focus from symptomatic management toward addressing the underlying bioenergetic crisis. Although challenges remain in safety validation, scalability, and clinical translation, targeted nanotherapeutic strategies hold significant promise for transforming the treatment landscape of these debilitating neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nID: 42552041\nTitle: Intestinal microbiota in neurodegeneration and ageing: Mechanisms, pathways, and therapeutic interventions.\nAbstract: The human gut microbiota represents a complex ecosystem of trillions of microorganisms with profound implications for neurological health. Emerging evidence demonstrates that dysbiosis, an imbalance in microbial composition and function, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and age-related cognitive decline. This chapter summarizes current knowledge of the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) and elucidates how intestinal microbes and their metabolites communicate with the central nervous system via neural, immune, endocrine, and metabolic pathways. We examine the mechanistic links between gut dysbiosis and specific neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease (HD), and Multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, we explore age-related changes in the microbiota and their contributions to neuroinflammation, immunosenescence, and cognitive decline. Finally, we evaluate therapeutic interventions targeting the microbiota, including probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and dietary modulation as promising strategies to prevent and ameliorate neurodegenerative pathology. The chapter provides a comprehensive summary of how microbiota-targeted approaches may delay ageing and neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42552039\nTitle: Molecular insights of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 signalling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington's disease.\nAbstract: Progressive neuronal loss is a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases like Huntingtons disease (HD) and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) which are caused by convergent mechanisms such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, impaired autophagy and dysregulated cell death pathways. Both conditions share significant disruptions in metabolic and inflammatory signalling despite having different genetic origins and clinical manifestations; underscoring the necessity of pathway-oriented treatment approaches. In the central nervous system, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 (PPAR-\u03b3), a ligand-activated nuclear receptor has become an important regulator of inflammation, redox homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular stress responses. After giving a thorough overview of PPAR-\u03b3 structure activation and transcriptional regulation and the PGC-1\u03b1-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis axis, this chapter delves deeply into its interactions with major signalling pathways such as NF-\u03baB, Wnt/\u03b2-catenin Nrf2/ARE and the autophagy-apoptosis networks. With a focus on experimental data showing PPAR-\u03b3 signaling's neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and metabolic regulatory roles the pathophysiology of ALS and HD is critically investigated. Lastly the need for improved biomarkers, tailored multi-target strategies and selective modulators is highlighted in the discussion of current therapeutic limitations and translational difficulties.\n\nID: 42567782\nTitle: Interleukin-6 trans-signalling as a selectively targetable driver of neurodegeneration.\nAbstract: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exerts protective and pathogenic effects in the central nervous system through distinct receptor-signalling modes. Classical signalling via membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) is often associated with homeostatic and reparative functions, whereas trans-signalling, mediated by soluble IL-6R, expands IL-6 responsiveness to gp130-expressing cells and may promote chronic inflammation. Emerging evidence implicates dysregulated IL-6 trans-signalling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Here, we review mechanisms linking IL-6 trans-signalling to immune, glial, neuronal, and vascular dysfunction in neurodegeneration. We highlight key knowledge gaps and discuss whether selective targeting of trans-signalling can limit inflammatory pathology while preserving beneficial classical IL-6 functions.\n\nID: 42565534\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Gallium-Quercetin Nanoparticles for Multi-Target Ferroptosis Inhibition in Parkinson's Disease.\nAbstract: Ferroptosis contributes to Parkinson's disease (PD) through interconnected processes including iron dysregulation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction, yet current therapies targeting single pathways remain insufficient. Herein, we developed gallium-quercetin nanoparticles (GQNPs) as an intranasally deliverable nanoplatform for multi-target ferroptosis inhibition. In vitro, GQNPs suppressed ferroptosis by coordinating iron regulation and antioxidation. Ga3 + interfered with transferrin-mediated iron uptake to restrict iron influx, while quercetin reduced oxidative stress and supported iron homeostasis, thereby decreasing ROS accumulation and improving mitochondrial function. In vivo, intranasal delivery of GQNPs effectively bypassed the blood-brain barrier to recover motor coordination and cognitive function in PD mice. By integrating iron regulation, antioxidant activity, and mitochondrial protection within a single nanoplatform, this work highlights gallium-based coordination nanoparticles as a promising therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-associated neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 42561977\nTitle: ALSUntangled #84 - ivermectin.\nAbstract: ALSUntangled reviews alternative and off-label treatments for people living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PALS). In this review, we explore the possibility of using ivermectin to slow ALS progression. Ivermectin's ability to modulate neuroinflammation and excitotoxicity give it plausible mechanisms for treating ALS, though it does not get into the brain very well. One preclinical study demonstrated that ivermectin lengthened lifespan within a mouse model of mSOD1 genetic ALS. This finding has not been replicated. The 2 PALS we found who had data comparing ALSFRS-R progression on and off ivermectin appeared to have no benefit from it. We found no trials of ivermectin in PALS. Ivermectin is low cost and generally well tolerated with most adverse effects being mild and transient, but serious side effects can rarely occur, and it has not been carefully studied in PALS. We cannot at present endorse ivermectin as an ALS treatment.\n\nID: 42561643\nTitle: Isolation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells expressing soluble forms of GAS1 and PTEN for experimental cell therapy for glioblastoma.\nAbstract: Glioblastoma is the most frequent primary brain tumor, and its current treatment mainly prolongs survival, highlighting the need for more effective second-line therapies to improve patient prognosis. Stem cells represent a promising platform for developing cell-based therapies due to their biological characteristics, which enable the delivery of antitumoral agents. Still, there are some limitations, such as invasive delivery methods to overcome the blood-brain barrier, and the need for repeated administration, among others. Here, we propose a cellular therapy based on a stable adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell line (Ad-MSC) genetically engineered to express the therapeutic genes tGAS1 and PTEN-L, tumor suppressors that interfere with signaling pathways associated with glioblastoma growth and survival, under tetracycline regulation. The therapeutic strategy was evaluated in both in vitro and in vivo glioblastoma models, with engineered Ad-MSCs administered intranasally in vivo to target glioblastoma tumors. The therapeutic system showed tropism toward intracranially implanted tumors, inducible expression and release of tGAS1 and PTEN-L, and a significant reduction in tumor volume (p < 0.0001). Thus, our data indicates that intranasal administration of Ad-MSC expressing inducible tGAS1 and PTEN-L, represents a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of therapies for glioblastoma.\n\nID: 42557952\nTitle: In-Vitro Evaluation of HIV/SARS-CoV-2 Co-Infection Mediated Proteomic Changes in Astrocytes and Pericytes Reveals Altered Signaling Pathways Associated With Neurodegenerative Disorders.\nAbstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors frequently experience a wide range of symptoms known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) or long COVID. Importantly, complications arising from microvascular dysfunction, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and chronic neuroinflammation have been implicated in driving PASC within the central nervous system (CNS), known as neuro-PASC. Notably, people with HIV (PWH), who suffer from chronic neuroinflammation, BBB impairment, and glial cell dysfunction, collectively known as neuro-HIV, are generally at higher risk of neuro-PASC. The overlap between neuro-PASC and neuro-HIV raises concerns that HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infection may exacerbate neurological dysfunctions among PWH. In this study, using an in-vitro cell culture model, we examine the effects of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 mono- and co-infection in microglia, astrocytes, and pericytes. Our results demonstrated that majority of brain cell types support SARS-CoV-2 replication, in the presence and absence of HIV infection. Furthermore, in both mono- and co-infected cells, there were varying degree of up- and downregulation of SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry factors, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, NRP1, and TRIM28, and inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2. Moreover, conditioned media collected from HIV, SARS-CoV-2, and HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infected astrocytes and pericytes were shown to be neurotoxic. Additionally, proteomic analysis has revealed a unique set of proteins significantly up/down regulated in HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infected astrocytes and pericytes. The gene set enrichment analysis of these proteins indicates dysregulation of lipid, energy, and immune metabolism pathways linked to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These in-vitro findings indicate that astrocytes and pericytes from HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infection exhibit altered protein expression profiles, implicating dysregulated signaling pathways associated with neurodegenerative dysfunction.\n\nID: 42553297\nTitle: Targeting mitochondria for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.\nAbstract: Mitochondria are central regulators of cellular metabolism, redox balance, calcium signaling, and cell survival, making them essential for neuronal function. Because neurons rely heavily on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to meet their high energetic demands, mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged as a key pathogenic driver in major neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Defects in mitochondrial bioenergetics, excessive reactive oxygen species production, impaired mitochondrial dynamics, disrupted mitophagy, and dysregulated calcium handling collectively contribute to neuronal damage, synaptic dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. These insights have prompted growing interest in therapeutic strategies that directly target mitochondria to restore organelle homeostasis. Recent advances in chemical biology and nanomedicine have enabled the development of mitochondria-targeted ligands, peptide-based targeting systems, and carrier or nanotechnology-enabled delivery platforms designed to overcome biological barriers and selectively deliver therapeutic cargos to mitochondria within the central nervous system. In this Review, we summarize mitochondrial pathological mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases and discuss emerging mitochondria-targeted therapeutic strategies, highlighting delivery technologies, therapeutic modalities, and translational challenges. Although most strategies remain at the preclinical or proof-of-principle stage, these advances are beginning to shape a conceptual framework for precision mitochondrial medicine, with the longer-term goal of developing disease-modifying interventions for neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nID: 42543397\nTitle: Autonomous intranasal delivery systems for central nervous system therapeutics.\nAbstract: Intranasal delivery provides a rapid, non-invasive route to the central nervous system, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and first-pass metabolism. However, its therapeutic potential remains constrained by the nasal cavity's complex anatomy, the restricted surface area and permeability of the olfactory epithelium, and short drug residence times. Recent advances in nanotechnology and synthetic biology have enabled the development of autonomous and programmable delivery systems that can target the olfactory epithelium, enhance brain entry and sustain therapeutic release. This review highlights current strategies for engineering intranasal drug delivery vectors that can replicate or extend cellular functions to enable autonomous nose-to-brain drug delivery. These vectors include: synthetic nanoparticles that mimic essential cellular activities and allow for modular surface modification; extracellular vesicles that naturally carry therapeutic cargo and exhibit parent-cell-derived tropism; and living therapeutics, such as engineered microbes, viruses or stem cells, that respond dynamically to host environments and can be genetically programmed for precise payload production. Emphasis is placed on the modular design of functional components, host-responsive interactions tailored to anatomical and physiological cues, and the integration of programmable functions that collectively drive delivery autonomy and therapeutic efficacy. Together, these advances position intranasal delivery as a versatile platform for treating neurological disorders, offering a foundation for future translational development.\n\nID: 42543118\nTitle: Lineage-calibrated peripheral monocyte-derived myeloid states in neurodegenerative disease: Recruitment, lesion decoding, and state persistence.\nAbstract: Peripheral monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages are increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative disease, yet interpretation remains limited by phenotypic convergence with resident microglia, inconsistent lineage attribution, and strong dependence on experimental model and disease stage. We present a structured, lineage-calibrated framework that separates three linked processes: a recruitment gate controlling access to CNS borders and lesions; a lesion-decoding hub through which aggregate, lipid, cytokine, complement, antigenic, hypoxic, and danger-associated inputs are interpreted; and a state-persistence layer in which metabolic and epigenetic reinforcement stabilizes inflammatory, repair-supportive, or hybrid repair-restrictive programs. To make the framework operational, we first provide a cross-disease synthesis and then map representative models of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis to their specific recruitment routes, lesion cues, lineage confidence, and functional outcomes. We also distinguish what single-cell or spatial data can infer from what only origin-resolving approaches can establish, and propose practical terminology for studies that cannot perform fate mapping or parabiosis. A worked therapeutic example illustrates why the same recruitment pathway may be harmful during lesion expansion but useful during debris clearance and recovery. The central question is therefore not whether monocytes are present, but which model, compartment, time point, evidentiary tier, and stabilized state justify a disease-modifying claim. This framework links mechanistic evidence to biomarkers, patient stratification, and stage-aware intervention while reducing over-attribution of peripheral origin.\n\nID: 42542073\nTitle: Gut microbiota and brain health: Disease-specific pathways and emerging therapeutic strategies.\nAbstract: The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) has emerged as a dynamic, bidirectional communication system linking the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system (CNS) through neural, immune, endocrine, and metabolic mechanisms. Increasing evidence indicates that alterations in gut microbial communities are associated with a wide range of neurological disorders; however, the strength of this association varies across diseases, and many mechanistic observations still rely predominantly on experimental models rather than human studies. This review provides an overview of current evidence regarding the role of the gut microbiota in maintaining CNS homeostasis, with particular emphasis on intestinal barrier function, immune modulation, vagal and enteric communication, and the generation of biologically active microbial metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and neurotransmitter-related compounds. Studies in both clinical and experimental settings have reported disease-specific microbial signatures in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorders, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In parallel, microbiota-directed interventions-including probiotics, prebiotics, dietary approaches, fecal microbiota transplantation, and strategies targeting microbial metabolites-have produced encouraging findings in preclinical studies and early-stage clinical investigations. Nevertheless, considerable heterogeneity in study populations, experimental methodologies, and therapeutic protocols continues to limit the translation of these findings into routine clinical practice. Collectively, current evidence supports the MGBA as a valuable framework for understanding neurological diseases while underscoring the need for rigorously designed longitudinal studies and well-controlled clinical trials to define its therapeutic relevance better.\n\nID: 42541645\nTitle: Targeting Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Microglia: A New Frontier for Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pose an urgent global health challenge. Growing evidence establishes microglia-driven neuroinflammation as a key driver of disease onset and progression, with mitochondrial dysfunction emerging as an early trigger of microglial activation. This review comprehensively summarizes current progress on how mitochondrial alterations regulate microglial activation across AD, PD, and ALS. We identify conserved mechanisms including metabolic reprogramming, impaired mitophagy, and inflammatory signaling, though A\u03b2, \u03b1-synuclein, and TDP-43 engage these pathways through disease-specific molecular routes. Therapeutic strategies targeting microglial mitochondria, including cGAS-STING and NLRP3 inhibitors, TREM2 agonists, and mitochondrial transplantation, remain largely preclinical. Emerging targets such as OLFML3 and GPNMB require functional validation in microglia. Collectively, this review underscores that preserving microglial mitochondrial health represents a promising therapeutic frontier and identifies key priorities for translating these strategies toward clinical application.\n\nID: 42541426\nTitle: Neuroprotective Potential of Spermidine in Drosophila sws Neurodegenerative Model.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by progressive neuronal loss and functional decline, yet effective interventions remain limited. The polyamine spermidine was suggested to exert neuroprotective effects, but its concentration-dependent impact on longevity, neuronal integrity, and behavior remains still not well studied. Here, we investigated the effects of spermidine on lifespan, behavioral responses, brain tissue, target gene expression, and antioxidant status in Drosophila melanogaster model of age-dependent neurodegeneration. Wild-type flies and swiss cheese (sws1) mutants were exposed to 0.5, 1, and 5\u2009mM spermidine from early adulthood. Lifespan analysis revealed that high-dose spermidine (5\u2009mM) reduced survival in both wild-type and sws1 mutants, whereas lower doses (0.5 and 1\u2009mM) significantly improved survival in mutants without affecting wild-type flies. Behavioral assays revealed that sws1 flies exhibited reduced climbing ability compared to controls, which was further decreased at 5\u2009mM. Lower concentrations did not significantly affect locomotor performance. Taste preference for trehalose, impaired in untreated sws1 mutants, was partially restored by spermidine at all tested concentrations. Histological analysis of 10-13-day-old mutants showed a concentration-dependent reduction in degeneration zones within the lamina and medulla at 0.5 and 1\u2009mM, whereas 5\u2009mM had no effect. Biochemical assays indicated mild pro-oxidant effects at 5\u2009mM, reflected by increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, while 0.5\u2009mM enhanced antioxidant defenses, including catalase activity and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). Our results suggest that spermidine at low doses has the potential to be a general-purpose neuroprotector.\n\nID: 42538987\nTitle: GENETIC AND PHARMACOLOGIC ACTIVATION OF BECLIN1 PREVENTS ALDOSTERONE-INDUCED CARDIOVASCULAR DAMAGE.\nAbstract: Aldosterone promotes endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular injury through mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) activation. Autophagy is essential for endothelial homeostasis, yet its role in aldosterone-mediated vascular dysfunction remains unclear. We tested whether aldosterone impairs autophagic flux and whether restoring autophagy via Beclin1 (BCN1) activation protects vascular and cardiac function. Endothelial and vascular responses to aldosterone were assessed in wild-type mice, BCN1 gain-of-function mice (Becn1), and mice treated with spermidine or a BCN1-activating TB-peptide. Vascular function, nitric oxide (NO)/reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, autophagy markers, endothelial migration, and cardiac fibrosis were evaluated using wire myography, fluorescence assays, Western blotting, confocal microscopy, migration assays, and histology. Aldosterone impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation, decreased NO, increased ROS, and disrupted autophagic flux in an MR-dependent manner, indicated by LC3 accumulation and reduced p62 and BCN1 expression. Spermidine restored endothelial function and normalized NO and ROS levels. BCN1 gain-of-function mice were protected from aldosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction and exhibited reduced coronary and myocardial fibrosis. TB-peptide activation of BCN1 enhanced autophagic flux, improved vascular function, decreased cardiac fibrosis, and rescued endothelial migration impaired by aldosterone. Aldosterone induces endothelial dysfunction by suppressing autophagic flux through MR activation. Genetic or pharmacologic enhancement of BCN1-dependent autophagy restores endothelial homeostasis and prevents vascular and cardiac injury, identifying autophagy activation as a promising therapeutic approach for cardiovascular diseases associated with mineralocorticoid excess.\n\nID: 42576814\nTitle: Exosome-based nanomedicine for neurological disorders: mechanisms, engineering, and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This review highlights recent advances in exosome biology, cargo-sorting mechanisms, and engineering strategies designed to enhance therapeutic delivery and targeting within the central nervous system. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of engineered exosomes in neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, spinal cord injury, neuropathic pain, and neuroinflammatory disorders. In addition, we discuss how exosomes compare with conventional delivery platforms and critically examine the major barriers limiting their clinical translation, including heterogeneity, scalability, reproducibility, purity, and regulatory standardization. By integrating mechanistic insights with translational perspectives, this review provides a framework for the rational design and future clinical implementation of exosome-based nanomedicines for neurological disorders. Relevant literature was identified through searches of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Publications available from database inception through [Month Year] were screened using combinations of keywords including \"exosomes,\" \"extracellular vesicles,\" \"neurological disorders,\" \"brain-targeted delivery,\" \"exosome engineering,\" \"drug delivery,\" and \"clinical trials.\" Additional relevant articles were identified through manual searches of reference lists from selected studies and recent reviews. Exosomes are tiny natural particles released by cells that act as messengers, carrying proteins and genetic material between cells. Scientists are increasingly studying these particles because they may help deliver medicines to the brain and spinal cord, where many treatments struggle to reach due to protective barriers. This review explains how exosomes are formed, how they can be modified to carry drugs or therapeutic molecules, and how they may help treat diseases affecting the nervous system, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and certain neuropsychiatric disorders.We also discuss the advantages of exosomes compared with conventional drug delivery systems and summarize recent advances in engineering strategies that improve their targeting abilities. Although laboratory studies have produced encouraging results, many challenges remain before exosome-based therapies can become routine treatments. These include difficulties related to large-scale production, quality control, safety, and ensuring that exosomes reach the desired tissues without causing unwanted effects.In addition, this review highlights current clinical studies and discusses the steps needed to translate these discoveries into real-world therapies. Overall, exosomes represent an exciting and rapidly evolving area of research that may contribute to the development of safer and more effective treatments for neurological disorders in the future.\n\nID: 42576582\nTitle: Dysfunctional Crosstalk in Ischemic Stroke: Exploring Network Failure and Emerging Communication Pathways.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke damages complex, interconnected communication networks in addition to causing the destructive collapse of cells. All elements of the neurovascular unit (NVU), including the often disregarded glycocalyx and invading peripheral immune cells, interact dynamically and frequently contradict one another in their pathophysiological processes, which extend beyond neurons. This paper reviews developments in intercellular communication pathways that regulate brain injury and repair after cerebral ischemia. The intricate signaling networks among neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes, and lymphocytes were comprehensively analyzed. This review goes beyond conventional viewpoints to highlight major findings, ongoing debates, and critical research gaps associated with each interaction. This study investigated the dual nature of glial responses by analyzing diverse activation states of glial cells, the mechanisms underlying blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, including glycocalyx degradation, and the complex immunoregulatory roles of lymphocyte subsets, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), regulatory B cells (Bregs), and \u03b3\u03b4 T cells. In addition to classical soluble factor signaling, emerging communication mechanisms, including extracellular vesicles (EVs), tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), and migrasomes, were investigated, and these mechanisms may be involved in ischemic pathophysiology. Contradictory data and mechanistic evidence were assessed for every communication pathway; knowledge gaps were identified, and specific experiments were proposed to resolve these uncertainties. Finally, these observations were integrated into a discussion of advanced therapeutic approaches based on network modulation. This review offers a potential framework for discovering new system-based treatment targets targeted at rewiring harmful crosstalk and fostering strong neurological recovery by characterizing ischemic stroke as a progressive failure of intercellular communication.\n\nID: 42572437\nTitle: Extracellular Vesicles in Reproductive Physiology and Pathology.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-bound nanostructures that play important roles in reproduction as universal mediators of bidirectional cell-to-cell communication. EVs transfer diverse cargoes between reproductive cells, influencing fundamental reproductive processes such as gametogenesis and pregnancy. In the male reproductive tract, specialized EVs such as epididymosomes and prostasomes regulate sperm activation, motility, and capacitation, exerting some of these effects within the female reproductive tract as well. In the female reproductive tract, EVs found in follicular fluid, oviduct, and uterus aid in oocyte maturation, fertilization, and the vital embryo development and embryo-maternal crosstalk necessary for successful implantation, including after in vitro fertilization. With advancing gestation, EVs continue to play crucial roles in mediating communication between maternal, placental and fetal compartments with the ultimate aim of promoting immunotolerance and development of the allogeneic fetus. Focusing on the human reproductive system, development of obstetric conditions such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes is marked by a significant increase in EV release and systemic impacts, including endothelial dysregulation, perturbation of metabolic homeostasis and disruption to the blood-brain barrier. Disruption of EV-mediated signaling is linked to reproductive pathologies, but detailed etiologies are not yet defined. Importantly, EVs offer an exciting avenue for both biomarker discovery and therapeutic applications. Our advancing understanding of how EVs deliver their molecular cargo and influence gene expression in recipient cells holds promise for manipulating these processes and improving the diagnosis and treatment of infertility and pregnancy complications.\n\nID: 42561868\nTitle: Extracellular vesicles: Navigating new frontiers in glioblastoma therapy.\nAbstract: The profound challenge in treating glioblastoma (GBM) stems from a confluence of obstacles. The formidable blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits drug access, while the tumor's inherent inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity, profound immunosuppression, invasive growth, and frequent recurrence all contribute to dismal prognoses and severely hamper therapeutic efficacy. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), naturally occurring nano-sized messengers between cells, offer a novel therapeutic avenue by addressing these key obstacles. Their inherent ability to cross the BBB, deliver diverse cargo, and modulate the immune system positions them as promising vehicles for targeted drug delivery, immunotherapy, and even cancer vaccination. This review explores the therapeutic potential of various EV subtypes, including those derived from dendritic cells, T cells, brain endothelial cells, and mesenchymal stem cells, emphasizing their unique properties and preclinical successes in GBM models. We discuss current engineering strategies to enhance EV targeting, delivery, and therapeutic efficacy, alongside the emerging potential of EV-based cancer vaccines for GBM. Finally, we address the challenges and future directions of EV-based therapies for GBM, including standardized isolation and characterization protocols, scalable production, and rigorous safety assessments. Despite these challenges, the burgeoning field of EV research holds immense promise for transforming GBM treatment paradigms and improving patient outcomes.\n\nID: 42561498\nTitle: Dual roles of oral and gut bacterial extracellular vesicles in central nervous system diseases: Pathogenic drivers and therapeutic vectors.\nAbstract: A growing body of evidence indicates that the oral and gut microbiota are closely linked to central nervous system (CNS) diseases, and their bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) play a significant role in disease pathogenesis. BEVs can cross the blood-brain barrier, deliver bioactive cargo to host cells, and participate in disease processes. Notably, BEVs exhibit a functional dichotomy in which pathogen-derived BEVs promote neuropathology while probiotic-derived and engineered BEVs exert protective effects. In this review, we systematically examine this dual role of oral- and gut-derived BEVs in CNS diseases, covering their pathogenic mechanisms, protective and therapeutic effects, and emerging applications as diagnostic biomarkers. We also highlight key challenges limiting clinical translation and outline future directions for the field.\n\nID: 42560137\nTitle: Acute Kidney Injury Induces Neurological Impairment Through Early Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption and Endothelial Transcytosis in Mice.\nAbstract: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with central neurologic complications, notably in critical care, the mechanisms of which are poorly understood. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a central mechanism associated with cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease. The objectives of this study were to characterize the influence of AKI on brain alteration and BBB permeability in a preclinical model. We performed a mouse model of unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury without or with AKI (obtained by removing the contralateral kidney before ischemia). All animals were 7-week-old male C57Bl/6J mice, randomly assigned to groups: AKI, kidney ischemia-reperfusion alone, or control. We assessed neurologic impairment using the modified neurologic severity score and motricity evaluations, quantified BBB disruption by cerebral extravasation of Evans blue and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging with Gallium-68 diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (68Ga-DTPA), and performed immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy on brain sections. In mice with AKI, we found neurologic impairment, decreased spontaneous motricity, and cerebral extravasation of Evans blue, which were not observed in mice with renal ischemia-reperfusion without nephrectomy. Cerebral 68Ga-DTPA PET/CT imaging with imaging confirmed the BBB disruption. In addition, we observed more extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelial cells by electron microscopy in AKI mice compared with controls. AKI-induced neurologic complications are associated with an early increase in BBB permeability and transcytosis of extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelium.\n\nID: 42558585\nTitle: Bacteria-related signals in brain metastases: evidence boundaries, tumor-microenvironment remodeling, and translational prospects.\nAbstract: Brain metastases (BrM) develop within a highly specialized central nervous system niche shaped by the blood-brain barrier/blood-tumor barrier, brain-resident stromal cells, myeloid populations, and distinct metabolic constraints. Emerging studies suggest that bacteria-related signals can be detected in primary and metastatic brain tumors; however, their biological meaning remains incompletely defined. In particular, low-biomass brain tissues are highly vulnerable to reagent contamination, environmental carry-over, batch effects, and bioinformatic misclassification, making it essential to distinguish molecular bacterial traces from viable intratumoral bacteria or a bona fide tumor microbiome. In this review, we propose a graded conceptual framework that separates bacterial signals/elements, intratumoral bacteria, and intratumoral microbiota/microbiome according to evidentiary strength. We summarize current evidence for the spatial and cellular localization of bacteria-related signals in BrM and discuss potential source models, including primary-tumor carry-over, hematogenous dissemination, gut microbiota-derived metabolites, oral microbial input, and bacterial extracellular vesicles. We further examine how these signals may interact with the BrM tumor microenvironment by influencing tumor-cell stress adaptation, myeloid inflammatory niches, antigen-presentation pathways, vascular-barrier remodeling, and metabolic reprogramming. Particular attention is given to the emerging gut-brain-metastasis axis and to cancer-type-specific contexts in breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma brain metastases. From a translational perspective, bacteria-related signals in BrM may eventually contribute to biomarker development, patient stratification, and therapeutic modulation of the microbe-host axis. Nevertheless, current evidence remains insufficient to conclude that BrM broadly harbor stable, active, and clinically actionable microbial communities. Future progress will require multi-source matched cohorts, longitudinal sampling, stringent low-biomass contamination control, absolute quantification, spatial validation, functional models, and explicit separation of microbial presence, viability, and causality. A rigorous evidence-based approach will be essential for moving this field from intriguing associations toward biologically interpretable and clinically meaningful applications.\n\nID: 42554595\nTitle: Redirecting Monocyte Differentiation With Engineered Extracellular Vesicles for Glioma Immunotherapy.\nAbstract: During glioma progression, monocytes abundantly infiltrate but primarily differentiate into immunosuppressive macrophages to promote tumor growth. Redirecting monocyte differentiation offers a compelling yet underexplored therapeutic opportunity. In this work, we found M1-polarized macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (M1-EVs) efficiently induced monocytes to differentiate into anti-tumor macrophages via tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-\u03b1)-mediated signaling. Despite promising, the therapeutic efficacy of M1-EVs was constrained by insufficient glioma accumulation and CD47-mediated phagocytic inhibition. To address this challenge, we further engineered M1-EVs with dual-targeting specificity by genetically incorporating a tumor-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against IL13R\u03b12 or EGFRvIII together with CD47-blocking SIRP\u03b1 variants. The resulting dual-targeting EVs (M1-CS-EVs) exhibited enhanced blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration and glioma accumulation while locally disrupting CD47-SIRP\u03b1 interactions. In three orthotopic glioma models, M1-CS-EVs elicited a potent anti-tumor immune response and enhanced tumor phagocytosis, significantly suppressing tumor growth while prolonging animal survival. Our findings establish a platform technology for directing monocyte differentiation toward anti-tumor phenotypes, offering a broadly applicable strategy for glioma treatment.\n\nID: 42553702\nTitle: Distinct brain extracellular vesicle microRNA profiles differ in frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Dementia is a syndrome caused by various diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with an estimated global prevalence of 60 million individuals. Recently, therapeutic development in the dementia field has accelerated, with the introduction of monoclonal antibody therapeutics such as Lecanemab and Donanemab. However, AD and FTD patients are still either diagnosed too late to benefit from available therapies or are misdiagnosed due to the clinical overlap between dementia subgroups making therapeutic intervention challenging. This highlights a real need to improve early diagnostic tools of neurodegenerative disease (ND) biomarkers. A potential source of such biomarkers come from small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), groups of cell-derived, lipid-bound assemblies with the capability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and known to carry pathogenic proteins associated with AD and FTD. A known cargo of sEVs is microRNA (miRNA), regulatory molecules that post-transcriptionally silence gene expression including transcripts of autophagic systems, processes which dysfunction in dementia-causing diseases leading to toxic aggregate build-up, causing neurodegeneration. The targeting of functional machineries in macroautophagy (MA) and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) by different miRNA may vary between AD and FTD mutations, leading to potential biomarkers of disease being highlighted. Through isolating sEVs from the frontal cortex of post-mortem brain tissue of AD, FTD-MAPT, FTD-C9orf72, FTD-GRN and no-disease control patients (Manchester Brain Bank), miRNA cargoes were analysed and compared using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Seven autophagy-associated miRNA candidates (MA: miR-124-3p, miR-30a-5p, miR-128-3p; and CMA: miR-224-5p, miR-373-5p, miR-106a-3p and miR-26b-5p) were tested to identify dementia sub-group variations, used alongside small RNA-sequencing to explore broader miRNA variation within sEV populations. Of the miRNA tested miR-224-5p (P = 1.76 \u00d7 10-5) and miR-106a-3p (P = 0.033) showed significant group differences, and further significant pairwise comparison differences [miR-224-5p: AD fold change (FC) = 4.29, MAPT FC = 7.62; miR-106a-5p: AD FC = 5.59] when compared with no disease controls and other dementia subgroups, potentially showing initial diagnostic and differentiating potential. Small RNA-sequencing results revealed 8 AD, 2 FTD-GRN, 52 FTD-MAPT and 12 FTD-C9orf72 differentially expressed sEV-miRNAs when compared with no disease controls. Further direct comparisons between AD versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, and even FTD mutation versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, identified additional miRNA with differentiating capabilities. These findings demonstrate sEV-derived miRNA signatures vary across dementia sub-types and suggest potential roles of sEV cargoes in both disease diagnostics and identifying drivers of ND, such as autophagic impairments and signalling pathways.\n\nID: 42545034\nTitle: Engineered Extracellular Vesicles As a New Delivery Platform for Migraine.\nAbstract: Migraine represents a complex neurovascular disorder that is challenging to treat due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and complex pathophysiology involving the trigeminovascular system, neuroinflammation, and cortical spreading depression. Current systemic therapies, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors, offer benefits but have limited efficacy and may cause adverse effects; thus, highlighting the need for targeted delivery across the BBB. This review introduces extracellular vesicles (EVs) as an appropriate pharmaceutical engineering platform to address such challenges. While traditional treatments have inherent disadvantages, engineered EVs offer efficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, targeted delivery, and multi-therapeutic payload capacity for migraine-associated neural circuits. We introduce a framework for pathophysiology-informed technology by first discussing the role of native EVs in promoting the migraine cascade to identify specific sites of therapeutic intervention. In this review, the focus is on pharmaceutical nanotechnology, starting with the strategic selection of producer cells, including \"Hijack & Modify\" vs De Novo Design, and continuing through sequential nano-engineering of EVs by surface functionalization and utilization of hybrid vesicles for targeting the BBB and trigeminovascular systems to state-of-the-art smart-release systems. We continue with the critical analytical and manufacturing sciences needed to translate such engineered EVs from bench to bedside, addressing important translational challenges through scalable Good manufacturing practices (GMP) production, supported potency assays, and comprehensive quality assurance processes. These include potency tests, GMP production, and robust quality control that may be expanded. Finally, we combine all of these into a single translational pathway that examines the regulatory issues, the patent landscape, and the future of personalized EV therapeutics. The current review provides an exhaustive framework for developing EV-based treatments by combining cutting-edge pharmaceutical nanotechnology with deep biological insights to make migraine treatment more reliable.\n\nID: 42541567\nTitle: Targeting TDP-43 in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor neuron degeneration leading to early mortality. Despite advances in understanding genetic and molecular contributors, effective disease-modifying therapies for sporadic ALS are of limited utility. The identification of the accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in 97% of total ALS cases represents a critical pathogenic hallmark. This review examines key biological mechanisms underlying TDP-43 pathology, emerging therapeutic strategies, and evolving approaches to clinical trial design and biomarker development. TDP-43 loss of nuclear function, leading to widespread RNA missplicing, and inclusion of cryptic exons, represents an early and critical event in ALS pathogenesis causing downstream dysregulation of key neuronal genes such as STMN2 and UNC13A contributing to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction. Therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways are currently under investigation. Additional approaches aim to ameliorate TDP-43 gain-of-function through cytoplasmic TDP-43 aggregation or modulating processes such as stress responses and RNA metabolism, although clinical translation has been challenging. Advances in biomarkers, including neurofilament light chain and cryptic exon-derived peptides, provide tools for developing efficient clinical trials. However, heterogeneity in disease progression and limitations of available clinical endpoints complicate trial design. Integration of biological insights with biomarker-driven patient stratification and optimized trial methodologies is essential to improve clinical trial outcomes. Emerging biomarkers may enable earlier diagnosis, monitoring of therapeutic response, and personalized treatment approaches. Continued alignment of biological discovery with innovative clinical trial design holds promise for advancing effective therapies and transforming the future of ALS.\n\nID: 42537824\nTitle: Chitosan-based hydrogel for intranasal drug delivery; current advances in the brain diseases treatment.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases represent a growing health concern that is projected to become more prevalent and affect more people in the upcoming decades. One of the most complicated components of recent neurodegenerative disease therapies is the penetration and delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system (CNS), which are hindered via the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In response, innovative treatment approaches leveraging noninvasive techniques including nanosized drug delivery systems and intranasal (IN) administration with higher treatment efficacy and patient satisfaction are developing as potential options. IN administration delivers medications directly to the brain through both the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, with the olfactory pathway representing the primary route for nose-to-brain transport. Among various IN platforms, chitosan (CS)-based hydrogels have attracted considerable attention because of their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, mucoadhesive properties, and ability to enhance drug permeation by prolonging nasal residence time and transiently modulating epithelial tight junctions. This review critically summarizes recent advances in CS-based hydrogels for IN drug delivery for the treatment of brain diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), depressive manifestations, ischemia,brain tumors,epilepsy, seizures, and schizophrenia. In addition, the review discusses the relationships between hydrogel design and therapeutic performance, highlights current translational challenges, and outlines future perspectives for the clinical development of CS-based IN hydrogel systems.\n\nID: 42530044\nTitle: Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Delivery of VEGF and NGF Protects Dopaminergic Neurons in 6-OHDA-Induced Parkinson's Disease Models.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by motor dysfunction. No definitive methods exist to repair damaged neurons. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) are two neuroprotective agents that work synergistically. However, these large molecular proteins have difficulty crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer superior targeting and low immunogenicity, making them excellent carriers. In this study we examined the protective effects of VEGF and NGF in a cell model and evaluated the therapeutic potential of VEGF-NGF contained within EVs in PD rats. EVs were isolated using sequential differential centrifugation and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and western blotting (WB). VEGF and NGF were loaded into the EVs using a saponin-assisted method to create VEGF@EVs, NGF@EVs, and VEGF/NGF@EVs. The viability of 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride (6-OHDA)-induced SH-SY5Y cells was measured using the cell counting kit-8 assay before and after treatment with VEGF and NGF. Autophagy levels were assessed using WB, and the role of autophagy was further explored using the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine. Unilateral PD rat models were established via stereotactic injection of 6-OHDA into male Sprague-Dawley rats. Behavioral changes were monitored before and after treatment. Neuronal recovery, neurotransmitter levels, and autophagy levels in the rat brains were evaluated using immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and WB. VEGF/NGF@EVs significantly enhanced the viability of 6-OHDA-induced SH-SY5Y cells. A complete autophagic process was identified as essential for this protective effect. The intranasal administration of VEGF/NGF@EVs improved motor behavior in PD rats, with performance better than that of single growth factor treatments. The number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons, TH protein expression, and dopamine content were significantly increased. In addition, the level of autophagy in the rat substantia nigra was elevated. VEGF/NGF@EVs exert protective effects in both in vitro and in vivo 6-OHDA-induced PD models by promoting autophagy, demonstrating greater efficacy than either growth factor alone. By transplanting VEGF/NGF@EVs into PD rats, we showed that these vesicles can effectively cross the BBB and deliver targeted therapy to the central nervous system. This study highlights the significant potential of EV-mediated protein transplantation strategies for treating neurological disorders.\n\nID: 42528048\nTitle: Exosome-Mediated Delivery of PROTACs for Targeted Protein Degradation in Cancer, Neurodegenerative, Infectious, and Inflammatory Diseases.\nAbstract: Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules that hijack the ubiquitin-proteasome system to drive catalytic, sub-stoichiometric degradation of disease-associated proteins, offering a mechanistic advantage over occupancy-driven inhibitors and access to 'undruggable' targets. However, their clinical translation is constrained by high molecular weight, poor solubility, low oral bioavailability, inefficient membrane permeability, nonspecific biodistribution, off-target degradation, and the concentration-dependent 'hook effect.' Exosomes, nanoscale extracellular vesicles with innate biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, prolonged circulation, and the ability to cross barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, offer a biologically integrated platform to overcome these limitations. This review traces the evolution of PROTAC technology, delineates the challenges of conventional delivery, and evaluates the rationale for exosomal encapsulation, including cargo protection, intracellular trafficking, endosomal escape, and release kinetics. We examine natural and engineered exosomes spanning source selection, active loading strategies, and surface functionalization for tissue-specific homing and synthesize therapeutic applications across viral infections, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory diseases. Proof-of-concept studies, such as camel milk-derived exosomes delivering the BRD4-targeting PROTAC ARV-825, demonstrate enhanced permeability, lower IC50 values, and improved oral bioavailability. Finally, we discuss key hurdles to clinical translation: scalable production, purification, and standardization, and outline future directions for exosome-mediated targeted protein degradation.\n\nID: 42524014\nTitle: Clinical Studies Using Intranasal Therapies for Parkinson's Disease: A Review.\nAbstract: Intranasal delivery is a method of administering medications through the nasal cavity. It offers several advantages, such as rapid absorption, bypassing first-pass metabolism, direct nose-to-brain transport and localized effects. These benefits make it a promising approach for drug delivery in Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of intranasal delivery for Parkinson's disease treatment. Several studies on intranasal apomorphine reported rapid clinical response, improved UPDRS motor scores, tapping scores, and median Webster's scores, suggesting its effectiveness as a rescue therapy during \"off\" states. Intranasal recombinant erythropoietin was well tolerated and showed cognitive benefits. intranasal glutathione was safe and showed better bioavailability. Intranasal insulin improved cognitive performance without hypoglycemia, indicating a localized effect. Intranasal cholecystokinin and ipratropium bromide did not show significant benefits. Intranasal desmopressin is a safe and effective medication for nocturnal polyuria in Parkinson disease. Intranasal transplantation of neural stem cells is safe and is associated with functional improvement. Finally, Rivastigmine nasal spray offered better bioavailability and fewer side effects compared with conventional forms. The most common adverse effect was mild transient nasal or throat irritation. This review highlights the potential applications, efficacy, and side effects of various intranasal medications for Parkinson's disease and proposes using new interventions for future studies. The general benefits of nasal administration for Parkinson's disease treatment include localized effects, fewer side effects, faster onset of action, improved bioavailability, and enhanced therapeutic effectiveness.\n\nID: 42522310\nTitle: Therapeutic Exosomes: From Molecular Biology to Clinical Translation.\nAbstract: Exosomes, extracellular vesicles of 30-150 nm generated via fusion of multivesicular bodies with the plasma membrane, have evolved from poorly characterized cellular byproducts into a promising platform for translational medicine. Their intrinsic biological properties, including low immunogenicity, biocompatibility, capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier, and natural tissue tropism, confer fundamental advantages over synthetic nanocarriers. This review systematically covers biogenesis (ESCRT-dependent and ceramide-mediated pathways), molecular cargo composition, cellular sources and GMP-- compliant manufacturing, pharmacokinetics and biodistribution, clinical experience across major disease areas, engineering strategies for cargo loading and surface modification, and the current regulatory landscape. Exosome biogenesis is orchestrated by ESCRT-0-III complexes and the neutral sphingomyelinase pathway, yielding vesicles enriched in tetraspanins (CD63, CD9, CD81), heat-shock proteins, and functional nucleic acids including miRNA and circRNA. Mesenchymal stromal cell-derived exosomes dominate clinical pipelines, with scalable 3D hollow-fiber bioreactor production enabling GMP-grade manufacturing. Circulating half-lives vary markedly by source: most cell line-derived exosomes are cleared within 2-30 minutes, whereas platelet-derived EVs persist in circulation for 5.3-5.8 hours. These values are substantially prolonged by CD47-mediated phagocytosis evasion and PEGylation. Engineering approaches, LAMP-2B-mediated genetic display of targeting ligands, click chemistry conjugation, and hybrid Exosome-Liposome Nanoparticles (HELN)markedly enhance tissue selectivity and therapeutic potency. Completed Phase I-IIb trials in oncology and pulmonology demonstrate favourable safety profiles without severe systemic adverse events. As of 2025-2026, no extracellular vesicle therapeutic has received regulatory approval by the FDA, EMA, or equivalent agencies. Engineered exosomes combine multicomponent cargo, context-dependent uptake, and tissue tropism in a single platform. Validated potency assays, batch consistency, and regulatory harmonisation remain the principal unresolved barriers to clinical approval. Convergence of AI-driven manufacturing optimisation, multimodal engineering platforms, and international regulatory harmonisation defines the translational roadmap for exosome-based medicines over the coming decade.\n\nID: 42517645\nTitle: Mitigating Cancer Therapy-Related Cognitive Impairment by Targeted Activation of Undruggable Phosphatase.\nAbstract: Cancer therapy-related cognitive impairment (CTRCI) is a debilitating neurotoxic condition adversely impacting cancer patients during and post-cancer treatments. The cancer treatments linked to CTRCI include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Despite CTRCI severely affecting the psychological and social, cognitive functions, and the overall quality of life of cancer survivors, no effective medications are available currently. Our prior studies have indicated hippocampal tyrosine phosphatase protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type O (PTPRO) as a putative target for CTRCI. However, phosphatase is historically considered undruggable, and delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is challenging. Here, we developed a novel delivery system using neuron-targeted extracellular vesicles (EVs) engineered with a neuron-specific peptide rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) to transport a small activating RNA (saRNA) targeting Ptpro (RVG-EVs-saPtpro). We evaluated the stability, dynamic distribution, cytotoxicity, and brain specificity of RVG-EVs-saPtpro in cellular and animal models. A single intravenous injection of RVG-EVs-saPtpro resulted in sustained elevation of PTPRO in the brain for at least 28 days in CTRCI mice. More importantly, RVG-EVs-saPtpro significantly alleviated CTRCI symptoms by enhancing neuronal survival, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. These findings highlight the potential of RVG-EVs-saPtpro system for targeted treatment of CTRCI.\n\nID: 42514227\nTitle: Dynamic Tuning of MSC-Based Scaffolds for Neurological Protection After Brain or CNS Injury.\nAbstract: Neurological disorders, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury, constitute one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide for which current treatment options focus on resolving neuroinflammation rather than on tissue and neuronal regeneration. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could be a potential therapeutic option due to their immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and paracrine secretion of extracellular vesicles and trophic factors which modulate microglial activation, preserve blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and neuroplasticity, but with limitations due by poor survival, retention, and phenotypic instability following direct transplantation. The purpose of this narrative review is to present mechanotransduction signaling pathways (integrin-FAK, PI3K/Akt, Rho/ROCK, and YAP/TAZ) through which MSC-based biomaterial scaffolds, especialy hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels, make the transition from reparative to regenerative medicine in central nervous system (CNS) injury. Even if most of the evidence from preclinical studies suggests that dynamically tunable MSC-scaffold systems represent promising platforms for neural tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, further translational studies and well-designed clinical investigations are required to establish their therapeutic efficacy and clinical applicability.\n\nID: 42509439\nTitle: Cell Therapy as Metabolic Rescue after Ischemic Stroke: Rewiring Bioenergetics, Redox Homeostasis, and Neurovascular Repair.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke represents a dynamic metabolic disorder of the neurovascular unit (NVU) rather than a static vascular occlusion followed by neuronal demise. Immediate oxygen and glucose deprivation rapidly deplete ATP, disrupt the transmembrane ionic gradients, increase glutamate excitotoxicity, and overload mitochondrial with calcium. These events alter glycolytic, lipid, amino acid, and redox pathways. During the subacute and chronic phases, astrocytes, microglia, macrophages, endothelial cells, pericytes, oligodendrocytes, and surviving neurons continue to remodel substrate utilization. These phase-specific metabolic programs either accelerate infarct expansion and blood-brain barrier disruption or facilitate angiogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and tissue repair. Consequently, cell-based therapeutic paradigms have shifted from direct neuronal replacement toward metabolic rescue. Transplanted cells and cell-free derivatives deliver trophic factors, extracellular vesicles, microRNAs, antioxidant signals, mitochondrial cues, and immunoregulatory factors. These signals enhance mitochondrial fitness, restore redox homeostasis, attenuate pro-inflammatory glycolysis, and stabilize endothelial-pericyte coupling to stabilize a permissive neurorehabilitation microenvironment. This review synthesizes post-stroke metabolic landscapes and evaluates how mesenchymal stromal, neural stem/progenitor, endothelial progenitor, cord blood-derived, and mononuclear cells, and extracellular vesicles, may be incorporated into a phase-specific translational framework supported by target-engagement biomarkers and standardized potency assays.\n\nID: 42507332\nTitle: Disease mechanisms and translational barriers guide nanocarrier design for nose to brain delivery in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with limited disease-modifying treatment options, partly because many therapeutic agents show insufficient brain exposure and dose-limiting systemic adverse effects after conventional administration. Nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery has emerged as a non-invasive strategy to transport therapeutics to the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, thereby partially bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Recent advances in nanomedicine and biomaterial engineering have further improved this approach by enhancing drug stability, nasal residence, mucosal transport, and brain-targeting efficiency. This review examines nanocarrier-enabled N2B delivery strategies for AD from a mechanism-guided perspective, highlighting how AD-related pathological processes shape the selection of therapeutic cargos and formulation designs. We discuss recent progress in the intranasal delivery of repurposed small molecules, natural products, insulin-related agents, peptides and proteins, extracellular vesicles, antibodies, and nucleic acid-based therapeutics. We further summarize major nanocarrier and formulation platforms, including lipid-based systems, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, extracellular vesicles, in situ gels, and device-assisted delivery technologies. Particular attention is given to the design parameters that influence N2B performance, including particle size distribution/PDI, surface charge, mucus interaction, cargo protection, targeting modification, biodistribution, and deposition reproducibility. Finally, we critically evaluate the translational challenges that continue to limit clinical application, including species differences in nasal anatomy, dose-volume restrictions, device-dependent variability, limited human pharmacokinetic evidence, manufacturing complexity, long-term safety, and regulatory requirements. By integrating disease mechanisms, nanocarrier design, and translational considerations, this review provides a structured perspective for developing more rational and clinically feasible N2B nanodelivery systems for AD.\n\nID: 42506061\nTitle: Protein-First, but Not Protein-Only: Rethinking Neurodegenerative Diseases Through Transgenic Mouse Models.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases represent a major and growing global health burden. Although these disorders are often clinically defined by symptoms and affected brain regions, many are mechanistically linked to abnormal protein accumulation, misfolding, impaired proteostasis, RNA dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. In this Perspective article, I discuss major neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, Huntington's disease, prion diseases, spinocerebellar ataxias, and spinal muscular atrophy, through the lens of disease-associated proteins and experimental modeling. I argue that a protein-centered framework provides a useful approach for understanding disease mechanisms and selecting transgenic mouse models, while recognizing that aging, cellular context, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, vascular dysfunction, and other disease modifiers also shape neurodegeneration. Transgenic and genetically engineered mouse models have been essential for dissecting the pathogenic roles of amyloid-\u03b2, tau, \u03b1-synuclein, TDP-43, SOD1, FUS, C9ORF72-associated dipeptide repeat proteins, mutant huntingtin, prion protein, ataxins, and SMN deficiency. However, these models have important limitations, including artificial overexpression, familial mutation bias, species differences, and incomplete representation of aging-related sporadic diseases. Rather than seeking a single \"best\" model, a more productive strategy is to adopt model portfolios tailored to specific biological questions and to integrate mouse studies with human cellular models, postmortem tissue, omics approaches, and biomarker-based validation. Such an approach may improve mechanistic insight, strengthen translational relevance, and enhance the predictive value of preclinical neurodegenerative disease research.\n\nID: 42503395\nTitle: Engineered extracellular vesicles derived from sweet potato loaded with siPOLD1 for targeted therapy of glioma.\nAbstract: Glioma is the most common malignant tumor of the central nervous system, with high malignancy and poor prognosis, necessitating the development of novel targeted therapies. DNA polymerase delta catalytic subunit 1 (POLD1) is implicated in multiple cancers, but its role in glioma remains unclear. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have emerged as biocompatible, targetable nanocarriers with promising applications in cancer therapy. This study aims to elucidate the oncogenic function of POLD1 in glioma and develop a PDEVs -based delivery system for targeted therapy, with the goal of improving the current therapeutic landscape for glioma. POLD1 expression and prognostic significance were analyzed using clinical samples and databases. In vitro, CCK-8, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays evaluated the impact of POLD1 knockdown on glioma cell proliferation, invasion, migration, cell cycle, and apoptosis. In vivo tumorigenesis and survival were assessed in mouse models. Sweet potato-derived nano-vesicles (SPDELNVs) were isolated and characterized. An engineered A2-SPDELNVs-siPOLD1 system was developed via surface modification and siRNA loading, and its targeting efficiency and therapeutic efficacy were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. POLD1 was upregulated in glioma tissues and correlated with poor prognosis. Its knockdown suppressed proliferation, invasion, and migration, induced cell cycle arrest, and promoted apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, POLD1 targeting inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival. SPDELNVs showed intrinsic anti-glioma activity and efficient cellular uptake. The engineered A2-SPDELNVs-siPOLD1 effectively delivered siRNA, silenced POLD1, and significantly inhibited tumor progression both in vitro and in vivo, with enhanced survival. Our findings uncover the oncogenic role of POLD1 in glioma and validate it as a promising therapeutic target. Furthermore, we establish a novel, plant-based A2-SPDELNVs-siPOLD1 delivery platform with effective BBB penetration and tumor targeting, offering a promising strategy for the treatment of glioma.\n\nID: 42502486\nTitle: Stimuli-Responsive Biomimetic Nanomedicines for Targeted Therapy in Ischemic Stroke: Design Principles, Preclinical Evidence and Translational Challenges.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke (IS) is a complex cerebrovascular disease with multifactorial etiology and pathological mechanisms, characterized by high morbidity, disability, and mortality rates. Although mechanical thrombectomy, intravenous thrombolysis, and neuroprotective interventions have improved acute management, effective brain-targeted delivery remains limited by the blood-brain barrier, short therapeutic windows, heterogeneous ischemic lesions, and secondary injury after reperfusion. Biomimetic nanomedicines have emerged as promising platforms for IS therapy because they can inherit biological functions from cell membranes, extracellular vesicles, or endogenous ligands, thereby improving biocompatibility, immune evasion, circulation stability, and lesion targeting. However, their clinical translation is still constrained by biosafety and immunogenicity concerns, uncertain pharmacokinetics and reproducible large-scale manufacturing, quality control, and regulatory requirements. Moreover, the balance between drug-loading capacity and target release efficiency remains a key challenge. Excessive cargo loading may compromise nanocarrier stability, whereas insufficient loading may fail to achieve therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, rational nanocarrier design for IS should coordinate brain accumulation, stable systemic circulation, lesion-selective activation, efficient loading, and controllable release. In this review, we discuss how stimuli-responsive biomimetic nanomedicines exploit pathological cues such as reactive oxygen species, acidosis, enzymes, inflammatory mediators, or external stimuli for spatiotemporally controlled therapy and combined therapy. This review critically summarizes IS pathophysiology, major biomimetic nanocarrier types, and the design principles and response mechanisms of stimuli-responsive biomimetic systems. Finally, current limitations and future directions are discussed, with emphasis on biosafety evaluation, standardized characterization, scalable manufacturing, clinically relevant models, and rational integration of precision-responsive designs to accelerate translation.\n\nID: 42572287\nTitle: Generation of mutant human SOD1 knock-in mouse lines at the Rosa26 locus as a platform for developing genome-editing therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in progressive paralysis and death within a few years of symptom onset. Although current treatments modestly slow the disease progression, effective disease-modifying and curative therapies remain an urgent unmet need. SOD1 mutations are one of the major genetic causes of familial ALS. The p.Leu127Ser (L126S) and p.Gly94Ser (G93S) variants are clinically relevant pathogenic variants for which appropriate animal models are needed for preclinical evaluation of gene-editing therapies. However, most existing SOD1 models rely on high copy overexpression of mutant SOD1. Therefore, animal models carrying a single copy mutant human SOD1 allele are required for evaluating the in vivo efficacy of genome editing therapies. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair to generate a knock-in mouse line at the Gt(ROSA)26Sor (Rosa26) locus carrying a single-copy, 11-kb human SOD1 genomic fragment, including all exons and introns, with the L126S mutation. The Rosa26-hSOD1L126S mice did not develop ALS-like phenotypes during the limited observation period. However, they faithfully retained a single-copy mutant human SOD1 genomic allele, providing a valuable preclinical platform for evaluating genome-editing therapies. We also generated Rosa26-hSOD1G93S mice carrying the SOD1 G93S mutation with comparable efficiency. Together, these mutant human SOD1 knock-in mouse lines provide a versatile and clinically relevant platform for the preclinical evaluation of genome-editing therapies targeting heterozygous SOD1 mutations.\n\nID: 42455475\nTitle: Exosome Biology at the Interface of Neurodegeneration and Therapeutic Innovation.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, are defined by progressive neuronal loss, protein misfolding, and chronic neuroinflammation, yet effective disease-modifying therapies remain absent. Exosomes have emerged as key mediators of central nervous system communication and are increasingly central to the biology of neurodegeneration. These nanoscale vesicles transport proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids across cellular and anatomical barriers, influencing synaptic function, immune signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Under pathological conditions, exosomes facilitate the spread of misfolded proteins such as amyloid-\u03b2, p-tau, \u03b1-synuclein, and TDP-43, thereby accelerating network-level degeneration. At the same time, their cargo exhibits disease-specific molecular signatures detectable in peripheral biofluids, supporting their development as minimally invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and longitudinal monitoring. Advances in exosome engineering further underscore their potential as therapeutic delivery vehicles capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and targeting pathogenic pathways with RNA-based therapeutics, proteins, or gene-editing systems. Together, these findings position exosomes as pivotal contributors to both the mechanistic progression and translational targeting of neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 42358231\nTitle: Spermidine in Alzheimer's Disease: Evidence from Animal Models and Human Studies.\nAbstract: Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine involved in multiple cellular processes, including growth regulation, protein translation, and autophagy. Increasing attention has been devoted to its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by \u03b2-amyloid and phosphorylated tau accumulation, synaptic dysfunction, and progressive neuronal loss. In this narrative review, we examine potential mechanisms through which spermidine may influence AD pathophysiology and summarize available preclinical and clinical evidence. Preclinical studies indicate that spermidine induces autophagy, a key cellular clearance pathway responsible for removing damaged organelles and aggregated proteins. Because impaired neuronal autophagy contributes to the accumulation of \u03b2-amyloid and tau in AD, increasing intracellular spermidine levels may enhance the degradation of these toxic species. In addition, spermidine exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, attenuates microglial activation, and supports mitochondrial function. In animal models of AD and brain aging, spermidine administration has been associated with improvements in cognitive performance and synaptic function. However, human clinical evidence remains limited and largely inconclusive. Observational studies suggest associations between higher dietary spermidine intake and better cognitive outcomes, but do not establish causality. Randomized clinical trials to date are few, include small and heterogeneous populations, and have not demonstrated consistent effects on primary cognitive endpoints. Overall, spermidine represents a biologically plausible modulator of pathways relevant to neurodegeneration, but translation of preclinical findings into clinical benefit remains uncertain. Current evidence is insufficient to support its use as a therapeutic or preventive intervention in AD, and further well-designed clinical studies are required to clarify its efficacy and mechanisms of action. Alzheimer\u2019s disease is one of the most common causes of memory loss in older adults. Researchers are searching for ways to protect brain cells and slow the biological processes that lead to this disease. One molecule that has recently attracted attention is spermidine, a natural compound found in all living cells and in many foods, including whole grains, legumes, mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Spermidine plays several roles in the body. One of its most important effects is activation of autophagy, a natural cellular process that removes damaged proteins and other cellular waste. This process is relevant to Alzheimer\u2019s disease because the condition is associated with the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain. Experimental studies also suggest that spermidine may influence inflammation in the brain, support mitochondrial function (the energy system of cells), and help maintain communication between nerve cells. In this review, we summarized evidence from laboratory experiments, animal studies, and available human research. In animal models of brain aging and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, spermidine consistently shows neuroprotective effects and can improve memory performance. Human evidence is more limited. Observational studies suggest that higher dietary spermidine intake may be associated with better cognitive performance, while clinical trials investigating supplementation have produced mixed results. Spermidine is naturally present in many foods and is increasingly studied in the context of aging and brain health. Overall, current evidence suggests that spermidine may play a role in brain aging. Larger and well-designed clinical studies are needed to clarify its potential relevance for Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\n\nID: 42313307\nTitle: Microglia-driven neuroinflammatory signaling in neurodegeneration: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation has been identified as a major component to the pathogenesis and progression of many neurodegenerative illnesses, going beyond its traditional role as a protective immune response within central nervous system (CNS). There is growing evidence that persistent activation of peripheral immune pathways, microglia and astrocytes causes progressive neurodegeneration, synaptic loss and progressive neurodegeneration. This review examines the mechanisms of microglia- driven neuroinflammatory signaling and its involvement in major neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington's disease. Key neuroinflammatory mechanisms covered in depth including microglial activation, astrocyte reactivity, peripheral immune cell infiltration, cytokine dysregulation, and blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption. This review also emphasizes the role of neuroinflammation in acute neurological symptoms and mental and cognitive impairments. Glial activation markers, inflammatory cytokines, BBB proteins and kynurenine pathway metabolites are emerging as promising biomarkers for disease diagnosis and monitoring. Additionally, the potential of new mathematical and systems level computational models to describe intricate neuroimmune interactions and forecast the course of disease and treatment results is investigated. Current and emerging therapies targeting neuroinflammation include anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drugs, lifestyle interventions, stem cell approaches, gene-editing technologies and nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. Despite significant progress, translating preclinical findings into effective clinical therapies remains challenging. Future developments in integrative neuroimmune modeling, biomarker-guided therapies and precision medicine may make it possible to create individualized treatments plans targeted at reducing neuroinflammation and enhancing the course of neurodegenerative illnesses.\n\nID: 42264187\nTitle: Nanodelivery strategies for caloric restriction mimetics in age-associated neurodegeneration.\nAbstract: Brain aging is associated mainly with a decline in cognitive function and is a major risk factor for various neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs). Major hallmarks of aging include oxidative stress, chronic neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired proteostasis. Although caloric restriction (CR) has consistently demonstrated neuroprotective effects, its long-term effects in humans remain challenging. Consequently, CRMs such as metformin, spermidine, and curcumin have been widely used because of their ability to recapitulate key molecular effects of CR. Despite their therapeutic effects, the clinical translation of CRMs is significantly limited by their poor bioavailability, rapid metabolism, low aqueous solubility, and inefficient penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). A nanoparticle-based drug delivery system provides a promising approach to address these limitations. Polymeric, liposomal, and lipid-based nanocarriers can be engineered to increase BBB transport via receptor-mediated transcytosis and to enable targeted and sustained drug release. Encapsulation of CRMs within nanoparticles has improved their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles by increasing their stability and bioavailability and reducing systemic degradation. However, targeted delivery of CRMs has been shown to modulate aging-associated pathways, which are necessary for the maintenance of neuronal integrity and synaptic function. This review highlights the potential of CRM-loaded nanocarriers as emerging therapeutic systems to delay brain aging and age-associated disorders. Furthermore, the current challenges and future perspectives on optimizing brain-targeted delivery to enable successful clinical translation in age-related NDDs are discussed.\n\nID: 42193936\nTitle: Emerging Therapeutic Strategies for Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Comprehensive Review of Recent Advances and Future Directions.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig's disease), represent a growing global health burden characterized by progressive neuronal loss and functional decline. Despite decades of intensive research, effective disease-modifying therapies remain limited, underscoring the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. This review highlights recent advances in the understanding of disease etiology and emerging treatment approaches, with a particular focus on modalities with translational potential. We discussed novel disease-modifying interventions, including gene and cell therapies, RNA-targeting strategies, and immunotherapies aimed at clearing misfolded proteins such as amyloid-\u03b2, tau, and \u03b1-synuclein. In parallel, we examined the evolving recognition of neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction as actionable therapeutic targets, alongside progress in precision medicine and biomarker-guided approaches that enable early diagnosis and individualized treatment. Additionally, we summarized developments in repurposed pharmacological agents, neuroprotective compounds, and lifestyle interventions, emphasizing the importance of integrative, multimodal strategies. Across AD, PD, and ALS, convergent molecular mechanisms, including protein misfolding, oxidative stress, and disrupted proteostasis, present opportunities for cross-disease therapeutic targeting. Finally, we addressed key challenges and future directions, including translating preclinical efficacy into clinical success, optimizing CNS-targeted delivery systems, and navigating ethical considerations surrounding gene editing and stem cell therapies.\n\nID: 42185562\nTitle: Quality by design based development and optimization of a thermoreversible in situ intranasal gel of zavegepant for nose to brain delivery in migraine therapy.\nAbstract: This study aims to develop and optimize a thermoreversible in-situ nasal gel of Zavegepant for effective and rapid treatment of acute migraine, enhancing brain targeting and bioavailability while overcoming limitations of oral formulations. A 32 full factorial design was employed to evaluate the effects of Pluronic F-127 (X\u2081) and xanthan gum (X\u2082) on gelation temperature (Y\u2081) and mucoadhesive strength (Y\u2082). Nine formulations (VF1-VF9) were developed and evaluated for physicochemical properties, gelation behavior, mucoadhesion, in-vitro drug release, ex vivo permeation, and in vivo anti-migraine efficacy using a nitroglycerin-induced migraine model in rats. Optimized batch VF2 containing 20% Pluronic F-127 and 0.2% xanthan gum showed a gelation temperature of 34.94\u00a0\u00b0C and mucoadhesive strength of 5812.2 dyne/cm2 with minimal prediction error (<\u20095%). VF2 exhibited sustained ex vivo drug release (83.67% at 8\u00a0h) and steady-state flux of 522.94\u00a0\u03bcg/cm2/h. In vivo studies demonstrated significant improvement in locomotor activity, photophobia, and mechanical allodynia, with biochemical normalization of CGRP (41.16\u00a0pg/mg), MDA, NO, GSH, and SOD levels, comparable to sumatriptan. Stability over 3\u00a0months confirmed formulation robustness. The optimized thermosensitive nasal gel (VF2) of Zavegepant presents a promising, non-invasive strategy for acute migraine therapy with sustained drug release, enhanced mucosal retention, and putative CNS delivery via olfactory and trigeminal pathway. Its clinical potential lies in offering fast, localized treatment with fewer systemic side effects and improved patient compliance.\n\nID: 42163657\nTitle: Mitochondrial Function in Neurons and Glia in Health and Its Alteration in Parkinson's Disease: A Review.\nAbstract: Mitochondria play an important role in maintaining redox balance, energy, calcium, and the viability of neurons. The mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the primary sources of glial activation and dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson's disease (PD). The key biochemical elements of the pathogenesis of PD include impaired oxidative phosphorylation, elevated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and impaired mitophagy. This review is a synthesis and stringent evaluation of recent experimental, clinical and genetic studies relating mitochondrial dysfunction and Parkinson's disease (PD). We examined information on bioenergetics, mitochondrial dynamics, calcium homeostasis, and interactions between neurons and glia. The molecular and therapeutic importance of therapies, such as mitophagy modulators, bioenergetic enhancers, and mitochondrial antioxidants, was investigated. The absence of Complex I, excess ROS, mitochondrial DNA damage, and nonfunctioning fusionfission cycles leads to neurodegeneration. The glial metabolic abnormalities worsen the oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, weakening the support of the neurons. The effects of impaired mitophagy are the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria, and the effects of calcium overload disrupt energy metabolism. Neuroprotective effects of such substances as spermidine, urolithin A, resveratrol, \u03b1lipoic acid, MitoQ, SkQ1, or CoQ10 have been shown using preclinical research. Sacrifices such as exercising and proper dieting enable the mitochondria to perform better and become stronger. Mitochondrial dysfunction enhances the progression of PD through oxidative stress, bioenergetic breakdown, and inflammatory signalling. Attention to these related systems is an entire way to alter the direction of a disease. PD can be treated using an increase in mitochondrial quality control, redox regulation, and metabolic efficiency. Continued studies in the framework of precision medicine are required to validate the safety and effectiveness of mitochondrial-targeted medications.\n\nID: 42149299\nTitle: Human iPSC\u2011based translational and reverse translational research for neurodegenerative diseases: emphasis on ALS and key advances.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and Huntington's disease (HD) cause progressive loss of specific neuronal populations and currently lack curative therapies. Animal models and immortalized cell lines incompletely recapitulate human pathology and genetic heterogeneity, limiting drug discovery. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a patient\u2011specific platform for disease modelling, drug screening and studying individual responses. Translational research (TR) uses iPSC models to identify candidate therapies that are subsequently tested in clinical trials, while reverse translational research (rTR) feeds clinical observations back to the bench by analyzing iPSCs derived from trial participants and integrating molecular data with patient phenotypes. This review summarizes recent advances in iPSC\u2011based TR and rTR for ALS and extends the discussion to other neurodegenerative diseases. Key clinical trials launched from iPSC screens-ropinirole, retigabine and bosutinib-are reviewed alongside emerging rTR efforts that use patient\u2011derived iPSCs to identify biomarkers and therapeutic mechanisms. We also survey iPSC models for AD, PD and HD, highlighting applications of three\u2011dimensional (3D) brain organoids and gene\u2011editing technologies. Finally, we discuss future directions for precision medicine, multimodal integration and technological challenges, with particular attention to how imaging biomarkers may complement iPSC-based TR/rTR frameworks in neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 42074537\nTitle: Gene Targeted Therapies for Neurodegenerative Disorders: Strategies and Implications in ALS and SMA.\nAbstract: Advances in technology have provided a better understanding of the genetic basis of neurodegenerative disorders and their underlying molecular pathophysiology. However, treating these disorders with conventional strategies is a major challenge. The approval of gene targeted therapy for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) has laid the foundation for developing highly personalized therapies for other neurodegenerative disorders. As intensive research and efforts to advance gene targeted therapies continue, this review provides an overview of viral and non-viral vectors and delivery methods, as well as treatment strategies, including gene addition, replacement, editing, silencing, and splice modulation. Gene targeted approaches and clinical trials for SMA and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have demonstrated success, and additional studies are in progress. The design of efficient clinical trials which facilitate successful translation into clinical practice is of critical importance. Key considerations include the selection of appropriate disease models, understanding the natural history of the disease, and establishing well-defined outcome measures to assess prognosis of the disease and therapeutic efficacy. Finally, the precision of CRISPR-based gene editing offers the potential for one-time corrective therapies for monogenic disorders like SMA and SOD1-ALS.\n\nID: 41961384\nTitle: Spermidine Attenuates Neuroimmune Dysfunction in Gulf War Illness via Modulation of the Gut- Brain Axis.\nAbstract: Gulf War illness (GWI) affects nearly one-third of US veterans deployed during the 1990-1991 Gulf War (GW) and is characterized by chronic fatigue, neuroinflammation, and gut dysbiosis. Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI.\n\nID: 41919473\nTitle: Long non-coding RNAs in neurodegenerative diseases - Molecular mechanisms, liquid biopsy biomarkers, and therapeutic targets: A review.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington's disease (HD), are age-related disorders characterized by progressive neuronal loss, cognitive decline, and limited options for disease-modifying treatments. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in neurodevelopment, neuronal homeostasis, and disease progression; however, their involvement in shared pathogenic pathways and clinical applications remains inadequately defined. This review consolidates recent experimental, transcriptomic, bioinformatic, and emerging clinical findings regarding the role of lncRNAs in NDDs. We examine how lncRNAs modulate common disease mechanisms, including protein misfolding and aggregation, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, ferroptosis, synaptic failure, and aging-related neurodegenerative processes. These regulatory functions occur through various mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications, transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional processes, and RNA-protein interactions, as well as novel mechanisms such as liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), peptide coding, and exosome-mediated intercellular communication.\u00a0Current evidence supports the potential of lncRNAs as minimally invasive liquid biopsy biomarkers, detectable in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and extracellular vesicles. Additionally, lncRNAs may serve as therapeutic targets through antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), gene editing, and engineered delivery platforms. Overall, lncRNAs have emerged as central molecular regulators and promising candidates for translation in NDDs. Nonetheless, challenges related to specificity, validation, delivery across the blood-brain barrier, and clinical standardization must be addressed before their routine application in precision neurology.\n\nID: 41916942\nTitle: Drug repurposing in the management of major depressive disorder: a perspective.\nAbstract: We review the literature regarding repurposed medications for major depressive disorder (MDD). Preclinical and clinical research on repurposed medications for MDD was reviewed, including agents that modulate the dopaminergic, glutamatergic, and GABAergic systems; enhance neurotrophic signalling; and reduce neuroinflammation, as well as nutraceuticals. Telmisartan, statins, celecoxib, valproic acid, pregabalin, metformin, pioglitazone, ketamine, dextromethorphan-bupropion, aripiprazole, and modafinil show effectiveness in the treatment of MDD, as do nutritional supplements such as vitamin D, zinc, selenium, and spermidine. Mechanisms include neurotransmission modulation, neuroplasticity promotion, and neuroinflammatory cascade suppression. However, the current evidence is limited by a lack of large-scale randomised controlled trials and insufficient mechanistic characterisation. Drug repurposing leverages proven safety profiles while reducing development costs and time. Nonetheless, clinical studies are needed to confirm effectiveness, elucidate mechanisms, and specify their incorporation into clinical practice.\n\nID: 41729212\nTitle: Intranasal Chitosan Nanoparticles for Direct Nose-to-Brain Delivery of Cariprazine: A Noninvasive Strategy for Targeted CNS Therapy.\nAbstract: Cariprazine is a hydrophobic antipsychotic with poor oral bioavailability and limited blood-brain barrier penetration, restricting its therapeutic potential for CNS disorders. Chitosan-based nanoparticles (CZNPs) were designed for intranasal nose to brain delivery. Key formulation variables were screened using a two level fractional factorial design (FFD) and optimized via a Box Behnken design (BBD). Nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation and characterized for particle size, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency. In vitro release, ex vivo nasal permeation (sheep mucosa), in vivo pharmacokinetics (rats), and nasal histopathology were evaluated. Optimized CZNPs exhibited a particle size of 164.8 nm, zeta potential of +45.3 mV, and 67.6 \u00b1 0.08% encapsulation efficiency. They showed biphasic sustained release over 24 h and significantly enhanced nasal permeation versus a drug suspension. In vivo, intranasal CZNPs achieved 6.2-fold higher brain targeting efficiency, 91% direct transport percentage, and a brain to plasma AUC ratio of 0.67. Early brain Cmax (106 /mL at 2 h) indicated olfactory/trigeminal transport. Relative plasma bioavailability was 91%, with no nasal epithelial or ciliary damage observed. CZNPs exhibited effective brain targeting, controlled release, and mucosal safety, highlighting their potential as a noninvasive intranasal system for CNS delivery of cariprazine in neuropsychiatric disorders.\n\nID: 41721117\nTitle: Probiotic and microbial modulation of polyamine production: an emerging avenue for neuroprotection in neurodegenerative disorders.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative disorders are an Critical worldwide issue, characterized by progressive neuronal loss and cognitive decline with limited effective therapies. A central problem in these conditions is chronic neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted cellular homeostasis. Polyamines, such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine-small molecules-play vital roles in maintaining neuronal function, regulating autophagy, and protecting against cellular stress. Notably, spermidine-induced autophagy has emerged as a key mechanism linking polyamine metabolism to neuronal longevity and cognitive resilience. Recent studies highlight that probiotics and specific gut microbes can effectively modulate host polyamine production through the gut-brain axis, influencing neural health. This microbial modulation has been shown to restore polyamine balance, enhance antioxidant defenses, and reduce neuroinflammatory responses. Targeting microbiota-driven polyamine synthesis is emerging as a promising, non-invasive approach for neuroprotection. This review consolidates the current understanding of polyamine biology and microbial influences, highlighting their therapeutic potential. Exploring these interactions offers new avenues for innovation in combatting neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nID: 41651252\nTitle: Novel extracellular vesicle release pathway facilitated by toxic superoxide dismutase 1 oligomers.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that results in paralysis and death within three to five years. Mutations in over forty different proteins have been linked to ALS, raising debate over whether ALS is a single disease or multiple disorders with similar symptoms. Mutations in Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are found in only 2-3% of ALS cases, yet misfolded SOD1 appears in both sporadic (sALS) and familial (fALS) patients. Furthermore, mutations in TDP-43 or FUS increase levels of misfolded SOD1 on extracellular vesicles (EVs). Small EVs isolated from ALS patient samples have been shown to cause death of wild-type motor neurons and myotubes, supporting the theory that EVs play a role in spreading disease. We hypothesize that the previously identified toxic trimeric SOD1 spreads via EVs in ALS and influences the distribution of other ALS-related proteins, suggesting a common mechanism. To test this, we isolate EVs from motor neuron-like cells expressing mutations that stabilize trimers. We then perform a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a CD9 capture antibody to measure whether misfolded SOD1 and 17 other ALS-related proteins increase or decrease on EVs with trimer stabilization. We identify which EV release pathway is affected by trimeric SOD1 using endocytosis and exocytosis inhibitors and analyze altered protein interaction pathways through co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry proteomics. Our results show that VAPB, VCP, and Stathmin-2 increase on EVs when trimers are stabilized. The common pathway linking these ALS-associated proteins and SOD1 appears to involve multiple mechanisms, including the Caveolae endocytosis pathway, pointing to a novel hybrid EV release pathway in ALS. Overall, our findings show that trimeric SOD1 influences EV cargo and spread in ALS.\n\nID: 41518071\nTitle: Strategies to improve nasal administration of antiretroviral therapeutics for the treatment of NeuroAIDS.\nAbstract: HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) persist in a significant proportion of HIV patients, despite combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), due to limited drug penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the establishment of viral reservoirs within the central nervous system (CNS). Intranasal drug delivery offers a promising, noninvasive route to bypass the BBB and directly target the brain through olfactory and trigeminal pathways. This review explores the pharmacology of antiretroviral drugs, the challenges they face in CNS delivery, and the advantages of intranasal administration for treating NeuroAIDS. We examine physicochemical properties influencing BBB penetration and the mechanisms of nose-to-brain transport, along with their benefits and challenges. The review further evaluates the use of polymeric and lipid-based nanocarrier systems that improve drug stability, nasal residence time, and neuronal transport. Key anatomical considerations for targeting the olfactory region and design parameters for specialized intranasal delivery devices are also discussed. Despite anatomical and physiological challenges, advancements in nanotechnology and device engineering are enhancing CNS drug delivery efficiency. Combining antiretroviral-loaded nanocarriers with targeted nasal delivery devices represents a compelling strategy to improve therapeutic outcomes for HAND. This integrative approach holds significant potential to overcome CNS viral reservoirs, reduce neurocognitive impairment, and advance the eradication of NeuroAIDS. Many people with HIV continue to experience memory and thinking problems, known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), even when taking modern treatments. This happens because many antiretroviral drugs cannot cross the blood \u2013 brain barrier and HIV is able to hide in the brain. Delivering drugs through the nose is a promising way to bypass this barrier and send medicine directly to the brain through natural nerve pathways. This review looks at how the properties of antiretroviral drugs affect brain delivery, the mechanisms by which drugs can move from the nose to the brain, and the advantages and challenges of this route. It also examines the use of nanocarriers, such as lipid- and polymer-based systems, which can improve drug stability, keep drugs in the nasal cavity longer, and enhance their transport to brain cells. The review then discusses anatomical features important for targeting the olfactory region and highlights device designs that improve nasal delivery. Although challenges remain, recent progress in nanotechnology and device engineering shows strong potential to increase the effectiveness of brain drug delivery. Combining advanced nanocarriers with specialized nasal devices may improve treatment for HAND by better reaching hidden HIV in the brain and reducing long-term cognitive problems.\n\nID: 41487496\nTitle: Intranasal delivery of iron chelators and management of central nervous system disease.\nAbstract: Brain iron dyshomeostasis plays a critical role in the pathology of multiple central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Iron chelators such as deferoxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (DFP) have demonstrated therapeutic potential in mitigating disease progression in these conditions. However, systemic administration is hindered by poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, dose-limiting toxicity, and poor patient compliance due to frequent dosing regimens. In recent years, intranasal (IN) drug delivery has emerged as a promising strategy to bypass the BBB, providing a direct nose-to-brain delivery route via olfactory and trigeminal pathways while minimizing systemic exposure. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the current status of iron chelation therapy for CNS disorders with a focus on pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and translational potential of IN administration. While IN DFO has been extensively studied in preclinical models of Alzheimer's disease and stroke, recent developments have expanded the scope to other chelators such as DFP. We compare traditional systemic routes, including oral and intravenous, with intranasal administration, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations for CNS delivery. With ongoing advances in formulation and delivery technologies, IN iron chelators provide a promising alternative for the treatment of CNS disorders characterized by impaired iron homeostasis in the brain.\n\nID: 41467438\nTitle: Organoids: Key advances, optimization, and technological iterations in their application to neurodegenerative diseases.\nAbstract: Organoid technology, as an innovative approach, has shown great potential in disease modeling, target screening, and the development of treatment strategies. However, traditional organoids still have three major limitations in research: the absence of specific cell types, the lack of blood-brain barrier structure, and insufficient reproducibility of experimental results. In recent years, researchers have gradually overcome these limitations by introducing innovative techniques such as advanced culture methods, microfluidic systems, bioprinting, organoid transplantation, and assembloid construction. This progress has facilitated the widespread application of organoids in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. This paper aims to systematically review the technological innovations of organoids in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. By summarizing classical organoid construction strategies and their limitations, it emphasizes the value of organoids in comprehensive applications within neurodegenerative disease research. In this review, we focus on five specific neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia. Research in these diseases demonstrates that organoids improve experimental accessibility and reduce development cycles in disease modeling, target discovery, and therapeutic strategy formation. Using customized equipment and gene editing techniques, these organoids can be tailored to specific needs, providing pathophysiologically relevant disease models and enhancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. Although organoid technology has demonstrated significant advantages in disease research, its potential for treating neurodegenerative diseases has not yet been fully explored, which may become an important direction for future research.\n\nID: 41368443\nTitle: Correction: CRISPR-Cas9: bridging the gap between aging mechanisms and therapeutic advances in neurodegenerative disorders.\nAbstract: [This corrects the article DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2025.1681891.].\n\nID: 41263806\nTitle: [Genetic and Molecular Pathomechanisms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Therapeutic Perspectives \u2013 Current State of Knowledge].\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease leading to progressive degeneration of motor neurons, muscle weakness and respiratory failure. Despite intensive research, the pathomechanisms of ALS have not been fully elucidated. This article presents the current state of knowledge on the genetic and molecular mechanisms of this disease, with a focus on mutations in the SOD1, C9ORF72, TARDBP, FUS, TBK1 genes, as well as recent discoveries in this area. Key pathogenetic processes are discussed, including disruption of RNA homeostasis, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and protein aggregation. In addition, current therapeutic strategies are reviewed, including both registered drugs, such as riluzole and edaravone, and modern approaches, such as gene therapy, antisense oligonucleotides, immunotherapy and gene editing technologies, including CRISPR/Cas9. Special attention was given to clinical trials and their potential impact on future treatment options for ALS.

The features of the disease, from molecular to functional levels, can be recapitulated by neural organoids derived from patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These features are not fully reproduced by other culture systems or in vivo models. Neural organoids have been applied to model dementia including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia, and they have recapitulated aspects of their complex pathophysiology, including neuronal network dysfunction and accumulation of pathogenic proteins. Although research using neural organoids still\u00a0faces challenges such as heterogeneity and the absence of non-neural lineage cells, these limitations are\u00a0being\u00a0progressively\u00a0addressed. Recent\u00a0advances,\u00a0including\u00a0the\u00a0integration\u00a0of gene-editing technologies and the co-assembly of organoids with specific cell types, have demonstrated the remarkable potential\u00a0of\u00a0this approach. This article reviews current research on iPSC-derived neural organoids for dementia, discussing both the technical hurdles and the potential for translational applications.\n\nID: 41180498\nTitle: CRISPR-Cas9: bridging the gap between aging mechanisms and therapeutic advances in neurodegenerative disorders.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, ALS, and spinocerebellar ataxia are becoming more prevalent as populations age, posing major global health challenges. Despite decades of research, effective treatments that halt or reverse these conditions remain elusive. Aging is the most significant risk factor in the development of these diseases, intertwining with molecular processes like DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and protein aggregation. Recent advances in gene-editing technologies, particularly CRISPR-Cas9, are beginning to shift the therapeutic landscape. This revolutionary tool allows for precise correction of genetic mutations associated with neurodegeneration, offering the potential for disease modification rather than symptom management alone. In this review, we explore how CRISPR-Cas9 is being leveraged to target key genes implicated in various neurodegenerative conditions and how it may overcome barriers posed by aging biology. We also examine the delivery systems and safety challenges that must be addressed before clinical application. With continued progress, CRISPR-Cas9 could mark a turning point in our ability to treat or even prevent age-related neurological decline.\n\nID: 41177462\nTitle: Nasal-to-brain siRNA delivery based on trace amine associated receptor for improving cognitive function.\nAbstract: Gene-based therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders face substantial challenges in overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to effectively target brain tissues. The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway. The nanoparticles then escaped lysosomes, releasing siRNA into the cytoplasm, leading to gene downregulation and therapeutic benefits. Our results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain. Treatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, S-GEVs@siRNA nanoparticles rapidly reached the olfactory bulb through TAAR-mediated endocytosis, entered hippocampal neurons, downregulated Alox12B expression, exerted neuroprotective effects, and alleviated RBI-induced cognitive dysfunction. The designed nasal-to-brain delivery system holds great promise for treating various CNS diseases.\n\nID: 41148458\nTitle: Molecular crosstalk between miRNAs and lncRNAs in neurodegenerative disease pathways.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), are characterized by progressive neuronal degeneration and dysfunction. Of recent interest, a series of studies have been targeting the role of non-coding RNAs, particularly miRNAs and lncRNAs, in regulating gene expression and influencing cellular pathways that may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of these diseases. miRNAs regulate many biological processes by degrading or repressing the translation of target mRNAs, whereas lncRNAs act as scaffolds, sponges, and guides to control gene expression and cellular activities. Both miRNAs and lncRNAs participate in neurodegenerative mechanisms such as protein aggregation, inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. While targeting miRNAs and lncRNAs holds promise for potential therapeutic benefits, problems persist with their efficient delivery, specificity, and off-target effects. New techniques like viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles, and CRISPR-based gene editing will further enhance the development of therapies based on miRNA and lncRNA. Moreover, their interaction with regulatory networks may present new avenues toward understanding disease mechanisms and guiding therapeutic design. This review covers the role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in neurodegenerative disorders, their therapeutic potential, challenges, and future directions in ncRNA-based treatment approaches.\n\nID: 41109516\nTitle: CRISPR/cas genome editing for neurodegenerative diseases: Mechanisms, therapeutic advances, and clinical prospects.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Spinocerebral Ataxia (SCA), and Huntington's disease (HD) are major global health challenges. Current treatments are only symptomatic and do not address the underlying pathogenic genetic mechanisms. The development of the CRISPR/Cas genome editing technologies, has increased possibilities for targeted repair of pathological mutations. CRISPR/Cas9, Cas12, and Cas13 systems enable targeted editing and transcriptome modulation in various preclinical models. CRISPR/Cas9 disruption of mutant APP, Tau, and LRRK2 genes, reducing toxic protein aggregration in AD models has restored normal genetic function. While correction of CAG nucleotide repeats in HD, and reduction of alpha-synuclein expression in PD. RNA targeting systems like Cas13 offers additional therapeutics potential by selectively degrading disease assciated transcript without altering genomic DNA. Advancements in engineered Cas variants with enhanced specificity, such as SpCas9-HF1, base editors and prime editors, with innovative delivery strategies including adeno-associated virus (AAVs) and nanoparticle-based systems, have improved genome editing. However, challenges remain, including off-target effects, mosaicism, and delivery across the BBB, and long-term safety. Ethical consideration focuses on somatic versus germline editing, equitable access, and regulatory oversight. While somatic editing shows acceptance in treating neurological disorders. Germline interventions face strict regulations due to potential multigeneration impacts. Collectively, these technologies are the vanguard of precision molecular medicine, advancing from symptom management towards potentially curative gene therapies for neurological disorders.\n\nID: 41074090\nTitle: Resveratrol alleviates IBD-associated neuropsychiatric comorbidities via microbiota-dependent arginine metabolism reprogramming and microglial M2 polarization through gut-brain axis.\nAbstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is intricately linked to neuropsychiatric comorbidities through gut-brain axis dysregulation. This study demonstrates that resveratrol (RSV), a natural polyphenol, alleviates DSS-induced colitis-associated anxiety and depression by reprogramming the microbiota\u2500metabolite-barrier network. RSV (100 mg/kg/day) ameliorated DSS-associated anxiety-like behaviors in open field tests (peripheral zone time \u219312.6%, P< 0.0001) and depression-like phenotypes (TST immobility \u219331.0%, P = 0.0004). It restored colonic barrier integrity via ZO-1 mRNA upregulation (\u219180.4%, P < 0.0001) and PAS score recovery (\u219129.6%, P < 0.0001), while reducing systemic inflammation (serum LPS \u219331.9%, TNF-\u03b1 \u219329.9%; P < 0.0001) vs. DSS. Crucially, RSV attenuated neuroinflammation by enhancing brain ZO-1 protein expression (\u2191146.1%, P = 0.0016), suppressing TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB signaling (TLR4 mRNA \u219368.8%, MyD88 protein \u219348.8%; P < 0.05), and promoting M2 microglial polarization (CD206 protein \u2191171.9%, P = 0.0003) vs. DSS. Multi-omics integration revealed RSV\u2019s dual regulatory mechanism: \u2460 Suppression of the pro-inflammatory Turicibacter4-guanidinobutanoic acid axis (\u219342% and \u219337%, respectively; P < 0.01), disrupting LPS\u2500TLR4\u2500MyD88 cascades; \u2461 Enrichment of barrier-protective Muribaculum (\u2191419%) and Dubosiella (\u2191208%), driving polyamine synthesis (spermidine \u219192%, spermine \u219138%) vs. DSS to reinforce gut-brain barriers. Spearman correlations confirmed Turicibacter-4-guanidinobutanoic acid-LPS-MyD88 interactions(r = 0.658-0.865) and Dubosiella-spermine-ZO-1 associations (r = 0.539-0.725). Conclusions: These findings establish RSV as a microbiota-metabolite modulator that redirects arginine metabolism from a pro-inflammatory bypass to polyamine-mediated barrier repair, offering novel therapeutic strategies for IBD-related neuropsychiatric complications. The integrated \"microbe-metabolite-neuroimmune\" axis provides mechanistic insights into gut-brain crosstalk, emphasizing dual-barrier restoration as a critical intervention node.\n\nID: 41030957\nTitle: Generation of C9orf72 repeat knock-in iPSC lines for modelling ALS and FTD.\nAbstract: Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models are powerful tools for neurodegenerative disease modelling, as they allow mechanistic studies in a human genetic environment and they can be differentiated into a range of neuronal and non-neuronal cells. However, these models come with inherent challenges due to line-to-line and clonal variability. To combat this issue, the iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI) has generated an iPSC repository using a single clonal reference line, KOLF2.1J, into which disease-causing mutations and revertants are introduced via gene editing. Here we describe the generation and validation of lines carrying the most common causative mutation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene, for the iNDI collection of neurodegenerative iPSC models. We demonstrate that these C9orf72 knock-in lines differentiate efficiently into neurons and display characteristic C9orf72-associated pathologies, including reduced C9orf72 levels and the presence of dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) and RNA foci, which increase in abundance over time in culture. These pathologies are not present in revertant cells lacking the repeat expansion. These repeat expansion and revertant cell lines are now available to academic and for-profit institutions through the JAX iPS cell repository and will help to facilitate and standardise iPSC-based ALS/FTD research.\n\nID: 42576095\nTitle: Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells and Their Derived Extracellular Vesicles: a Promising Therapeutic Strategy for Autoimmune Hepatitis.\nAbstract: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an idiopathic autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic liver inflammation that, if untreated, can lead to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, hepatic failure, and death. Current treatment options for this potentially life-threatening disorder include either high-dose immunosuppressants or liver transplantation (for late-stage patients). However, these options are risky and can lead to long-term complications. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel treatment strategies for AIH. Therapeutic approaches based on mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a viable treatment option for AIH because of their potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. This review outlines the recent developments in the use of these therapies for the treatment of AIH. The use of EVs as vehicles for the delivery of therapeutic drugs or miRNAs is also discussed. In addition, we discuss the various efforts that have been made to improve the efficacy of such therapies, including their genetic modification and combination with anti-inflammatory drugs. Finally, we proposed several directions for future research aimed at developing MSCs and MSC-derived EVs for clinical applications.\n\nID: 42574960\nTitle: An immunomodulatory hydrogel encapsulating dental follicle stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles promotes neutrophil clearance and periodontal bone regeneration.\nAbstract: Periodontitis, characterized by progressive alveolar bone resorption and periodontal defect formation, remains a major clinical challenge driven by bacterial infection and a dysregulated inflammatory immune microenvironment. Neutrophils, as the predominant innate immune cells, accumulate at infected sites to eliminate microbes but concurrently suppress osteoblast function, thereby impairing bone formation and accelerating alveolar bone loss. Lipopolysaccharide-preconditioned dental follicle stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (L-DFSC-sEV) exhibit potent immunomodulatory activity, facilitating the clearance of proinflammatory neutrophils and attenuating neutrophil hyperactivation, and reshaping the periodontal immunoregulatory microenvironment. However, the therapeutic efficacy of sEV is often hindered by the hostile infectious and inflammatory environment, as well as the lack of an appropriate delivery system tailored to periodontal conditions. To overcome these limitations, we developed a multifunctional, dynamically cross-linked hydrogel comprising gelatin, oxidized chondroitin sulfate, and epigallocatechin gallate at physiological pH, which encapsulates L-DFSC-sEV (L-DFSC-sEV@GCSE). This hydrogel exhibits excellent tissue adhesion, self-healing capability, antibacterial activity, and immunoregulatory properties, thereby creating a favorable microenvironment for sustained sEV release. In a rat periodontal defect model, L-DFSC-sEV@GCSE markedly enhanced sEV retention and delivery, effectively controlled infection and inflammation, modulated the osteoimmune microenvironment, and significantly promoted periodontal tissue regeneration.\n\nID: 42571984\nTitle: Camouflage Protein-Engineered Extracellular Vesicles Alleviate TMJ-OA by Hijacking Caspase-1 to Suppress Pyroptosis.\nAbstract: Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is highly prevalent with an insidious onset. Severe inflammation and significant degenerative changes are often associated with the condition, and current clinical treatments remain inadequate. In this study, we focus on pyroptosis and engineered the camouflage protein (GSDMD-C) attached to the membrane surface of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs)-sEV-p. sEV-p has two key effects: firstly, the inherent immunomodulatory and nutritional support properties of sEVs promote the recovery of cellular function under pathological conditions; secondly, camouflage protein bind to the activated caspase-1, reducing the cleavage of endogenous GSDMD. The therapeutic effects of sEV-p were evaluated through in vitro experiments and treatment of TMJ-OA models in mice and Bama pigs. We further elucidated the mechanisms by single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Results show that sEV-p alleviates the abnormal activation of inflammatory factors induced by pyroptosis, accompanied by a reduction in the proportion of inflammatory cells and a mitigation of acute inflammatory responses.\n\nID: 42570773\nTitle: A conceptual framework linking platelet activation, adaptive FGF21-GDF15 signaling, and islet vascular dysfunction in progressive \u03b2-cell failure of type 2 diabetes.\nAbstract: Platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction, and stress-responsive endocrine signaling have emerged as important components of the complex biological processes underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), extending beyond the classical concepts of glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity. This review proposes a hypothesis-generating conceptual framework in which platelet activation, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) represent partly independent yet biologically interconnected stress-response pathways that may converge within the pancreatic islet microenvironment during disease progression. Activated platelets contribute to vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction through soluble mediators and extracellular vesicles, whereas FGF21 and GDF15 are induced by oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and activation of integrated cellular stress responses as adaptive endocrine signals that promote mitochondrial homeostasis, endothelial integrity, and cellular resilience. Under persistent metabolic stress, sustained vascular injury, impaired adaptive signaling, and progressive endothelial dysfunction may collectively reduce the capacity of these protective mechanisms to preserve \u03b2-cell function. Rather than representing a proven transition point, the pancreatic islet microenvironment is proposed as a biologically plausible convergence site where vascular injury, adaptive endocrine responses, and intrinsic \u03b2-cell stress may interact. Although direct mechanistic evidence linking these pathways remains limited, this conceptual framework integrates current experimental and clinical evidence, identifies important mechanistic knowledge gaps, and provides a foundation for future mechanistic studies, integrated biomarker development, disease stratification, and precision medicine strategies in T2DM.\n\nID: 42567397\nTitle: Cellular senescence in posterior segment neovascular diseases: A proposed feed-forward amplification model.\nAbstract: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) continue to be significant contributors to permanent visual impairment. Although anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy has substantially improved disease management, recurrent neovascularization, persistent leakage, incomplete treatment response, subretinal fibrosis in nAMD, and fibrovascular membrane formation or tractional complications in PDR indicate that disease progression involves mechanisms beyond VEGF signaling alone. Cellular senescence-a stress-induced condition marked by persistent cell-cycle arrest, altered stress responses, and context-dependent senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) activity-has been identified as a potential pathogenic amplifier in posterior-segment neovascular diseases. Chronic oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, hypoxia, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation in the retina and choroid may induce senescence-associated or senescence-like remodeling in retinal pigment epithelial cells, M\u00fcller glia, endothelial cells, and pericytes. Nonetheless, conclusive evidence of bona fide cellular senescence in human ocular tissues remains scarce and varies markedly across cell types and disease contexts. This review integrates direct experimental evidence, marker-based observations, and inferred mechanistic insights to delineate a proposed, evidence-based senescence-associated feed-forward amplification model. In this model, chronic pathological stress may initiate or reinforce senescence-related programs, whereas SASP factors, extracellular vesicles, and immune microenvironment remodeling may further amplify angiogenic, inflammatory, vascular, and fibrotic dysfunction. Importantly, this model should be interpreted as a hypothesis-generating, non-exclusive framework rather than a fully established causal pathway. We also compare disease-specific features of nAMD and PDR, discuss methodological challenges in defining retinal senescence, and evaluate the translational potential and safety concerns of senolytics and SASP-modulating strategies as adjuncts to anti-VEGF therapy. Rather than presenting cellular senescence as a fully established causal driver, this review frames senescence-associated remodeling as a context-dependent, evidence-stratified amplifying component within this proposed feed-forward framework.\n\nID: 42566559\nTitle: Global trends in endothelial cell senescence research in cardiovascular diseases: A multi-tool bibliometric analysis (2001-2024).\nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, and endothelial cell senescence (EC senescence) is increasingly recognized as a key driver of vascular dysfunction and age-related cardiovascular pathology. Although recent studies have clarified the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential of EC senescence in CVDs, a dedicated bibliometric analysis of this field is still lacking. This study aimed to map the global research landscape, identify major contributors and influential sources, and reveal evolving hotspots and emerging frontiers from 2001 to 2024. Publications on EC senescence in CVDs were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) using a topic-based search strategy. Bibliometric analyses and visualizations were performed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R package Bibliometrix. A total of 1679 papers were analyzed, with China and the United States collectively accounting for nearly half of the global output. Zoltan Ungvari was the most prolific author and one of the most influential co-cited researchers in this field. The journals publishing the largest number of articles in this field were the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Aging Cell, and PLOS ONE. The 5 most productive institutions were Sun Yat-sen University, the University of Oklahoma, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Semmelweis University, and Southern Medical University. High-frequency keywords identified \"oxidative stress\" and \"inflammation\" as the primary mechanistic themes. Temporal trends indicated a progressive shift in research emphasis from fundamental mechanisms to translational applications. This study shows that research in this field has grown rapidly, although a substantial translational gap remains. In the future, the integration of single-cell multi-omics and artificial intelligence may help accelerate the clinical translation of senolytics and extracellular vesicle-based therapies.\n\nID: 42566301\nTitle: Proteomic analysis of plasma and extracellular vesicles from subjects with impaired vascular health.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with atherosclerosis and formation of arterial plaques being a major underlying cause. Rupture or erosion of the plaque fibrous cap can result in thrombus formation, arterial occlusion, and a stroke or myocardial infarction. Plaque changes, and endothelial cell barrier leakiness, may result in material leakage, including proteins and fragments into plasma either directly or in extracellular vesicles (EVs). Here we report comparative LC-MS/MS analyses of plasma-derived EVs and plasma from subjects with impaired vascular status and healthy controls.\u00a0 Analysis of plasma-derived EVs detected 7228 peptides and 763 proteins, with 87 proteins being differentially-abundant with these including arterial-cell species. Sub-group analysis based on biological sex showed no statistically-significant differences for males, whereas females exhibited 8 differentially-expressed proteins. Subject age effects were minimal. Plasma analysis detected 4366 peptides and 497 proteins, with 188 proteins being significantly altered in abundance between the groups. Subgroup analysis by biological sex revealed 103 differentially-expressed proteins in females and 84 in males. No differences were detected in specific collagen fragments. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed altered biological processes related to immune regulation, humoral immune response, proteolysis, and cellular components including plasma lipoprotein particle, extracellular space, and membrane-associated structures. KEGG pathway analysis emphasized enrichment of pathways linked to complement and coagulation cascades, platelet activation, focal adhesion, endocytosis, and inflammation. Together, these data illustrate the potential of LC-MS/MS to examine the role of inflammation and arterial wall cells in shaping the proteome of EVs and plasma in health and disease.\n\nID: 42565731\nTitle: Impact of Size Exclusion Chromatography and Ultracentrifugation on Purity and Proteomic Profiles of Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Lactobacillus reuteri.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by probiotic bacteria are increasingly recognized as crucial mediators of host-microbe communication. However, the molecular composition and biological interpretation of bacterial EV proteomes are heavily influenced by the isolation methods. In this study, we systematically compared ultracentrifugation (UC) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for isolating EVs from Lactobacillus reuteri, assessing their impact on EV yield, purity, and proteomic profiles. Although UC yielded significantly more EVs than SEC, it also resulted in lower purity, as evidenced by higher protein contamination and a decreased particle-to-protein ratio. In contrast, SEC improved EV purity by approximately 6.45-fold, effectively removing non-vesicular proteins. Our quantitative proteomics analysis identified 670 in UC-EVs and 858 in SEC-EVs.-- UC-EVs were primarily enriched with cytosolic metabolic enzymes, ribosomal proteins, and components associated with macromolecular complexes, indicating cosedimentation artifacts during UC. Conversely, SEC-EVs exhibited selective enrichment of membrane-associated and cell-wall-modifying proteins, reflecting their origin from envelope remodeling processes. Notably, SEC-EVs contained several proteins, including NLP/P60, peptidoglycan hydrolases, and lipoproteins linked to anti-inflammatory activities. Overall, our findings illustrate that EV proteomes are highly dependent on the isolation method and highlight SEC as a superior approach for enhancing proteomic specificity and biological interpretability in bacterial EV research.\n\nID: 42564691\nTitle: Stemness-associated MEF-derived extruded nanovesicles cooperate with Lactobacillus rhamnosus to alleviate DSS-induced colitis through mucosal microenvironment remodeling.\nAbstract: Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) can modulate intestinal microbiota, decrease harmful bacterial metabolites, and thereby improve the intestinal microenvironment of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, rapid inactivation and low colonization efficiency caused by intestinal peristalsis and impaired mucosa severely restrict its therapeutic outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) exhibit excellent mucus-penetrating ability that enables them to reach deep intestinal crypts. Subsequently, EVs directly deliver repair signals to intestinal epithelial cells and immune cells, effectively promoting intestinal mucosal repair. In this study, we prepared stemness-associated mouse embryonic fibroblast-derived extruded nanovesicles (sMEF-eNVs) via small-molecule intervention and three-dimensional (3D) culture. The prepared sMEF-eNVs displayed nanoscale morphology, EV-associated phenotype expression, and physicochemical features consistent with those of EVs. In a DSS-induced mouse model of UC, sMEF-eNVs improved epithelial barrier integrity, increased tight-junction and mucus-associated barrier signals, and attenuated mucosal inflammatory responses. Combined administration of sMEF-eNVs and L. rhamnosus further alleviated disease activity, improved histological injury, modulated Th17/Treg-associated immune imbalance, and was accompanied by shifts in gut microbial composition and fecal metabolic profiles. These findings support a vesicle-probiotic combination strategy for intestinal inflammation.\n\nID: 42561645\nTitle: Human mesenchymal stromal cell extracellular vesicles maintain therapeutic miRNA cargo despite exposure to cystic fibrosis bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.\nAbstract: Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBM-MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) reduce lung inflammation and fibrosis in a variety of model systems, including in a Cystic Fibrosis (CF) mouse model. Many components of MSC-derived EVs, including cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and miRNAs have been implicated in their anti-inflammatory effects. However, a major gap in our knowledge of using MSC as a therapeutic intervention for people with CF (pwCF) is whether the CF airway environment compromises miRNA cargo in hBM-MSC-derived EVs. To assess this, hBM-MSCs were exposed to cell culture media (control) or to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from pwCF or healthy controls (HC) and compositional analysis of EV miRNA content was conducted. Thirteen miRNAs (each \u22651% of the total miRNA content) were identified that collectively account for \u223c70% of the miRNA content of EVs. These miRNAs were remarkably stable across treatments. To infer potential therapeutic effects, we identified predicted gene targets of these miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis. Gene pathway analysis revealed that many of the 13 miRNAs are predicted to inhibit TLR signaling, NF-\u03baB activation, TGF-\u03b2-mediated fibrosis, and cytokine production. These results indicate that miRNAs secreted by hBM-MSCs in EVs may contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in experimental models and that exposure to CF BALF does not significantly diminish the abundance of the 13 miRNAs.\n\nID: 42561425\nTitle: Bacterial extracellular vesicles: mechanisms, engineering strategies, and therapeutic potential for inflammatory bowel disease.\nAbstract: Clinical management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is hampered by limited therapeutic targets, primary non-response, secondary loss of efficacy, and safety risks, which undermine clinical outcomes. Probiotics and postbiotics represent promising preclinical candidates to alleviate these unmet clinical bottlenecks. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are naturally secreted bacterial nanovesicles carrying abundant bioactive cargos, whose bioactivity and safety are highly strain-dependent. Probiotics-derived BEVs can remodel gut homeostasis, repair epithelial barriers, and regulate mucosal immunity to suppress the inflammatory vicious cycle in IBD, while pathogen-/pathobiont-derived BEVs loaded with lipopolysaccharide and virulence factors exacerbate intestinal inflammation. Native BEVs are restricted by low cargo loading, poor gastrointestinal stability and inadequate colon tropism. Rational engineering strategies, including surface modification, self-loading hybridization, genetic manipulation, and pH-responsive coating, can optimize the therapeutic performance of BEVs. This review systematically summarizes BEVs biological mechanisms, engineering approaches, and translational obstacles and outlines prospects for the design of intelligent multifunctional BEVs and standardized large-scale manufacturing as future directions, providing theoretical support for oral BEVs nanotherapies against IBD.\n\nID: 42559670\nTitle: Correction to \"Extracellular Vesicles of Streptococcus anginosus Mediate Gastritis via Epithelial Barrier Disruption and Macrophage-driven Inflammation\".\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42559161\nTitle: Surviving the Nucleus Pulposus Desert: Next-Generation Strategies for Intervertebral Disc Cell Therapy.\nAbstract: Low back pain remains the leading cause of disability worldwide, with intervertebral disc degeneration representing a major biological contributor. Although cell-based therapies have shown promise in preclinical models, clinical translation has yielded modest and inconsistent outcomes. Accumulating evidence suggests that therapeutic failure reflects not only limitations in cell source or differentiation potential, but also the hostile biochemical and biomechanical microenvironment of the degenerative disc. Hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, acidity, lactate accumulation, fibrosis, senescence, inflammation, and abnormal mechanical loading collectively impair cell survival, integration, and long-term function. We performed a comprehensive review of the literature using PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, with emphasis on studies published between 2020 and 2026. Evidence was critically evaluated to examine advances in cell-based therapies for IVDD, including cell sources, mechanisms of repair, biomaterial-assisted delivery systems, microenvironment-targeted strategies, translational studies, and emerging technologies that enhance regenerative efficacy. Current evidence indicates that successful disc regeneration depends not only on selecting an appropriate therapeutic cell source but also on overcoming the biological constraints imposed by the degenerative niche. We critically compare the regenerative potential of mesenchymal stromal cells, nucleus pulposus cells, and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived therapies, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations. We further discuss how biomaterial carriers, extracellular vesicles, developmental biology-guided differentiation, genetic engineering, preconditioning approaches, and smart delivery platforms are being integrated to improve cell survival, phenotype stability, extracellular matrix restoration, and functional repair. Future success in intervertebral disc regeneration will require integrated therapeutic strategies that combine optimized cell sources with biomaterial-assisted delivery, microenvironment modulation, and precision bioengineering. Advancing these complementary approaches will be essential for achieving durable biological repair, restoring disc structure and function, and translating regenerative therapies into effective clinical treatments for patients with degenerative disc disease.\n\nID: 42558611\nTitle: Non-coding RNA-driven cardiovascular immunometabolic reprogramming: from inflammatory endotypes to therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular disease is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous immunometabolic disorder shaped by inflammation, metabolic rewiring, endothelial dysfunction, mitochondrial stress, and tissue remodeling across diverse cell types. This review provides a hypothesis-generating conceptual synthesis of non-coding RNA-driven cardiovascular immunometabolic reprogramming from an inflammatory endotype-oriented perspective. Because ncRNA profiling has not yet prospectively assigned cardiovascular patient cohorts to validated inflammatory endotypes, we frame mechanism-based endotypes as complementary research constructs rather than clinically deployable diagnostic categories. We discuss how conventional disease labels, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy, may be cross-mapped to dominant mechanisms such as athero-inflammation, sterile ischemic injury, fibro-inflammatory remodeling, metabolic inflammation, and vascular immune-endothelial dysfunction. We summarize how microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and extracellular vesicle-associated RNA species regulate macrophage cholesterol handling, inflammasome activation, endothelial activation, vascular smooth muscle cell plasticity, cardiomyocyte mitochondrial dysfunction, fibroblast activation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and intercellular communication, with added attention to circRNA tissue-source patterns in cardiac, immune-cell, endothelial, and vascular compartments. We also highlight their context-dependent and cell type-specific actions, which challenge simple protective-versus-pathogenic classifications. Finally, we discuss translational opportunities, including circulating and extracellular vesicle-associated non-coding RNAs as liquid biopsy candidates, RNA-based therapeutics, endotype-enriched study designs, and traditional medicine-inspired multicomponent strategies. Despite barriers related to delivery, specificity, disease stage, species conservation, analytical standardization, and validation, integrated phenotyping, multi-omics profiling, functional perturbation, and biomarker-enriched trials may advance non-coding RNAs as candidate classifiers, regulators, markers, and therapeutic targets in precision cardiovascular medicine.\n\nID: 42549208\nTitle: Polymicrobial Extracellular Vesicles Reduce the Innate Immune Response of Human Cystic Fibrosis Bronchial Epithelial Cells.\nAbstract: Chronic antibiotic-resistant cystic fibrosis (CF) lung infections are the leading cause of death in adults with CF. Despite advances in highly effective modulator therapies, microbial communities persist in the CF lung. The pathogenesis of CF airway infections can be exacerbated by pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which communicates with primary human bronchial epithelial cells (pHBEC) by secreting bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) that diffuse through mucus and deliver virulence factors, DNA, and RNA to pHBEC. However, most CF lung infections are polymicrobial in nature, and therefore, the contribution of polymicrobial bEVs remains to be determined. By using a polymicrobial culture model representing a 'pulmotype' detected in \u223c34% of lung infections in people with CF (pwCF), comprised of P. aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sanguinis and Prevotella melaninogenica grown in synthetic sputum medium under anoxia, we report that each bacterial genus in the polymicrobial community secretes bEVs containing proteins and RNAs predicted to promote the establishment of chronic infection by reducing\u00a0Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) stimulated CF pHBEC CFTR Cl- secretion, enhancing virulence and biofilm formation, and upregulating the stress response and pro-inflammatory pathways in pHBEC. This response is most pronounced in CF pHBEC. ETI, a highly effective modulator therapy, did not ameliorate the response of CF pHBEC or return it to WT levels. These studies provide insight into why ETI does not eliminate polymicrobial lung infections and a hyperinflammatory lung environment in pwCF.\n\nID: 42548959\nTitle: Thermally Induced Reassembly of Ginger Extracellular Vesicles for Oral Therapy of Intestinal Inflammation.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles are promising candidates for oral drug delivery, yet their clinical translation is hindered by limited targeting precision and inconsistent systemic absorption. While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis. Our findings position boiling as a natural strategy for enhancing the bioactivity and targeted oral delivery potential of GEVs.\n\nID: 42548544\nTitle: Small extracellular vesicles proteome reveals persistent inflammatory and coagulopathic dysregulation in long-COVID.\nAbstract: Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) or Long-COVID affects millions and remains mechanistically undefined due to its heterogeneous clinical presentation. Identifying robust biological signatures is essential for understanding disease mechanisms and improving diagnosis. Here, we investigated the protein cargo of plasma-derived small extracellular vesicles (SEVs) from PASC-positive and PASC-negative individuals to identify EV-linked biomarkers of Long-COVID. SEVs were isolated from EDTA plasma of PASC-positive (n=20) and PASC-negative (n=11) individuals using size-exclusion chromatography. SEV protein cargo was profiled across more than 5400 proteins using the Olink Explore HT platform. PASC-positive patients commonly reported fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, sleep disruption, and mood changes. Proteomic analysis revealed 269 significantly dysregulated proteins, including 84 upregulated and 21 downregulated, with a fold change >2 in PASC. These differentially altered proteins were enriched in pathways related to coagulation, inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis, extracellular matrix remodeling, mitochondrial dynamics, and immune activation. PASC-positive SEVs showed persistent increases in FN1, HCF-H, HGF, and IL-17RA, proteins previously dysregulated in acute COVID-19. These markers showed greater differences in SEVs than in matched plasma, particularly HGF and IL-17RA, which were significantly altered in SEVs but not in plasma. Proteomic alterations in SEVs from PASC patients highlight the inflammatory, thrombotic, and neurobiological dysregulation, underscoring the potential of SEVs as biomarkers and mechanistic drivers of long COVID.\n\nID: 42546424\nTitle: The equine mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) secretome modulates neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages and extracellular vesicles (EVs) impact macrophage viability.\nAbstract: Neutrophil chemotaxis and phagocytosis are critical for protection against bacteria, but can be compromised by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA can also circumvent macrophage surveillance by affecting polarization and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. We previously demonstrated that the secretome of equine mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), comprised of all secreted bioactive factors and collected as conditioned medium (CM), reduces the growth of MRSA both in vitro and in vivo. This study aimed to determine if the equine MSC secretome has additional anti-MRSA properties by studying its effects on equine neutrophil and macrophage functions in vitro. Transwell assays demonstrated that CM from adipose tissue- and bone marrow-, but not peripheral blood-, derived MSCs significantly enhanced neutrophil migration. In addition, CM from all three MSC sources significantly reduced the phagocytic capacity of neutrophils but did not alter ROS production. MSC CM from all three tissue sources promoted macrophage polarization toward both CD86-positive (M1-like) and CD206-positive (M2-like) phenotypes, but did not change phagocytic capacity or ROS production. Further experiments showed that the complete CM, rather than the soluble and extracellular vesicle (EV) subfractions, was responsible for the increased neutrophil chemotaxis. Additionally, the primary effect of EVs on macrophages was cell death, possibly through autophagy, which can be beneficial if tissue damaging inflammation is diminished with decreased numbers of viable macrophages. Collectively, our findings show that the equine MSC secretome modulates various innate immune responses in vitro and may have therapeutic potential for managing dysregulated inflammation associated with bacterial diseases in vivo.\n\nID: 42541906\nTitle: Macrophage metabolic reprogramming: A central hub linking multicellular crosstalk to organ vulnerability in sepsis.\nAbstract: Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by dysregulated host responses to infection, often progressing to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Recent evidence highlights macrophage metabolic reprogramming as a critical driver of immune responses, yet macrophages operate within a broader immunometabolic network involving dendritic cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes that collectively shape sepsis outcomes. The coordination of these metabolic changes across multicellular interactions and their contribution to organ-specific vulnerability remain poorly understood. Here we present a holistic framework linking macrophage metabolism to multicellular communication and organ vulnerability. We discuss how glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and fatty acid oxidation alter macrophage states via epigenetic and signaling mechanisms, producing metabolites that connect metabolism to inflammation. These signals reshape cellular networks through cytokines, extracellular vesicles, and damage-associated molecule patterns (DAMPs), differentially impacting organs with diverse metabolic demands, including the heart, lung, liver, kidney, brain, and intestine, resulting in distinct injury patterns. Our framework enhances understanding of sepsis-induced organ heterogeneity and advocates for stage-specific, organ-targeted therapies that consider integrated multicellular immunometabolic contributions.\n\nID: 42541146\nTitle: Quadruplex Bioactive FAND for Treating Acute Liver Failure Induced by Acetaminophen or Hepatectomy.\nAbstract: Acute liver failure (ALF), characterized by severe hepatocyte necrosis with a high mortality rate, remains a major global health challenge. However, there are currently no effective drug options for the clinical treatment of ALF. Herein, inspired by the new concept of a full-API nanodrug (FAND), we have rationally developed a quadruplex bioactive FAND (termed FANDHP@FuEVs) composed entirely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This FANDHP@FuEVs is constructed from fusion extracellular vesicles (FuEVs), which hybridize M2 macrophage-derived EVs (M2-EVs) with mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) and is subsequently engineered with two clinically therapeutic biomacromolecules: hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and polyene phosphatidylcholine (PPC). Notably, FANDHP@FuEVs efficiently targets the damaged liver, benefiting from the dual inherent inflammation-tropism of the FuEVs. Moreover, FANDHP@FuEVs harnesses quadruplex biological activities by leveraging four natural bioactive components-M2-EVs, MSC-EVs, HGF, and PPC-to deliver pleiotropic therapies, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative, and macrophage repolarization effects. These therapies are effective in treating ALF induced by both acetaminophen and hepatectomy, demonstrating significant clinical relevance based on data from patients with liver disease. Overall, the utilization of naturally derived or clinically approved APIs to construct full-bioactive nanodrugs creates opportunities for clinical translation as a safe, versatile, and multifaceted treatment for ALF.\n\nID: 42539526\nTitle: Novel perspective on immune cell regulation in gastrointestinal inflammation: the role of extracellular vesicles and therapeutic prospects.\nAbstract: Gastrointestinal inflammation is an inflammatory disease arising from immune imbalance in any segment of the digestive tract, triggered by various factors. Immune cells play important roles in both the onset and resolution of gastrointestinal inflammation. With the recent extensive research on extracellular vesicles, the mechanism by which immune cells regulate gastrointestinal inflammation through extracellular vesicles has gradually gained recognition within the scientific community. Extracellular vesicles derived from immune cells can communicate with other immune cells in the digestive tract and directly regulate digestive tract epithelial cells. Furthermore, with advances in biological nanotechnology, immune cell-derived extracellular vesicles may be used to treat inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases. This review focuses on delineating the role of immune cell-derived extracellular vesicles in gastrointestinal inflammation and exploring their potential applications in treating these inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42536729\nTitle: sPLA2-reacted extracellular vesicles (SPLEVs) as a therapeutic modality for cytokine storm syndromes.\nAbstract: Because cytokine storm syndromes such as sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and coagulopathy, including those seen in COVID-19, are fatal, development of highly effective therapeutics is urgently needed. Recent evidence suggests that the hydrolysis of phospholipids in extracellular vesicles (EVs) by secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) can augment the ability of EVs to modulate inflammation, allergy, and cancer. We aimed to apply this phenomenon technically using \"sPLA2-reacted EVs (SPLEVs),\" which showed high therapeutic efficacies against ARDS and other diseases. Mechanistically, SPLEVs bind to type II alveolar epithelial cells, increase membrane fluidity by reorganizing phospholipid building blocks with more polyunsaturated fatty acids through the sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 pathway, and elicit \"lipid counterstorm\" by increasing tissue-protective lipid mediators. The potent therapeutic effects of SPLEVs depend partly on sPLA2-driven generation of lysophosphatidylglycerol. Thus, SPLEVs are expected to be an effective therapeutic tool for treatment of broad ranges of inflammatory diseases including COVID-19 and other new pandemic diseases.\n\nID: 42530786\nTitle: Nanomaterial Platforms for Endometriosis: A Systematic Review.\nAbstract: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide, causing debilitating pelvic pain, infertility, and substantially impaired quality of life. Conventional hormonal therapies and surgery are limited by systemic side effects, high recurrence rates, and failure to maintain adequate drug concentrations at ectopic lesion sites. Nanotechnology-based drug delivery has emerged as a promising strategy for directing therapeutic agents to ectopic lesion sites, potentially reducing the systemic toxicity that limits current pharmacological options. We systematically review three nanomaterial platforms-hydrogels, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and inorganic nanoparticles-with attention to their physicochemical properties, therapeutic rationale, and preclinical findings, as well as the specific strengths and unresolved limitations of each platform. We further compare how each platform addresses the core pathological processes of EM, namely, persistent inflammation, progressive fibrosis, and pathological angiogenesis. We hope that this review will assist researchers in comparing nanocarrier strategies and identifying more realistic pathways for clinical application in EM.\n\nID: 42530332\nTitle: Islet-Resident Macrophages as Dynamic Immunometabolic Integrators of \u03b2-Cell Fate in Health and Diabetes.\nAbstract: Islet-resident macrophages (IRMs) have emerged as important regulators of pancreatic islet biology, operating at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. Beyond their classical roles as immune sentinels, accumulating evidence indicates that IRMs dynamically integrate \u03b2-cell activity, environmental cues, and metabolic stress, thereby coordinating islet homeostasis, adaptive remodelling, and disease progression. However, their context-dependent functions and therapeutic potential remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes current evidence regarding IRM origins, phenotype, metabolic plasticity, and bidirectional crosstalk with \u03b2 cells in health, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes. We further review emerging therapeutic concepts targeting macrophage metabolism, intercellular communication, and organelle function, while discussing current challenges in translating findings from murine IRMs to human disease. Under physiological conditions, IRMs maintain islet integrity through surveillance, efferocytosis, trophic signalling, redox control, and maintenance of intercellular communication within the islet niche. In diabetes, chronic glucolipotoxicity, autoimmunity, oxidative stress, and amyloid-associated injury can redirect these homeostatic programs toward maladaptive inflammatory states that impair insulin secretion and accelerate \u03b2-cell loss. Collectively, these findings support a unified framework in which IRMs act as immunometabolic hubs integrating local and systemic signals to determine \u03b2-cell fate. IRMs represent central immunometabolic hubs that orchestrate \u03b2-cell fate during health and diabetes. Emerging therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage metabolism, intercellular communication, and organelle function may help prioritize future mechanistic studies and guide safer macrophage-centered interventions for diabetes.\n\nID: 42529139\nTitle: Artificial intelligence and big data for precision regenerative medicine in knee osteoarthritis: endotyping, responder prediction, and clinical translation.\nAbstract: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a heterogeneous whole-joint disease, and regenerative and orthobiologic therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT), and extracellular vesicles (EVs) show variable clinical effects. This variability reflects a dual heterogeneity: patients differ in structural damage, inflammation, metabolism, biomechanics, pain mechanisms, and molecular endotypes, while therapeutic products differ in composition, dose, viability, secretome, and manufacturing protocols. This Mini Review discusses how multimodal characterization of both patients and products may provide the data foundation for precision regenerative medicine in KOA. Imaging, radiomics, biomechanics, multi-omics, and product-quality attributes can be integrated to define meaningful endotypes and support responder prediction. We critically evaluate current artificial intelligence (AI) applications and demonstrate that, although AI has advanced automated imaging assessment and KOA progression prediction, direct evidence for regenerative treatment-response prediction remains scarce. Existing models are largely limited to PRP, whereas validated AI models for MSC-, BMAC-, MFAT-, and EV-based therapies are lacking. Clinical translation will require more than high discrimination metrics. Explainable AI, calibration, uncertainty estimation, external and prospective validation, standardized product reporting, and clinical decision support integration are essential. Future progress depends on matched patient-product-outcome cohorts that enable adaptive, explainable, and clinically actionable treatment selection.\n\nID: 42527776\nTitle: Endothelial cell-derived microRNAs-containing extracellular vesicles and diabetic retinopathy in a mouse model of diabetes.\nAbstract: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in industrialized countries, resulting from diabetes mellitus. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), synthesized by cyclooxygenases, contributes to inflammation and apoptosis via the E-prostanoid receptor 2 (EP2R). Our previous studies demonstrated that EP2R antagonists mitigate inflammation and microvascular dysfunction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DR. Given the paracrine role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in DR, we hypothesized that EVs derived from human endothelial cells (ECs) may regulate the PGE2/EP2R pathway in DR. Using an STZ-induced diabetic mouse model, we administered intravitreal injections of AAV2-shEP2R and evaluated retinal histology, optical coherence tomography, and biochemical markers. EV morphology, size, and concentration from high glucose (HG)-treated ECs were analyzed. Small RNA expression in plasma EVs from DR patients was assessed via deep sequencing. EP2R inhibition via AAV2-mediated knockdown significantly reduced retinal vascular leakage, leukostasis, and retinal M\u00fcller cell (rMC) activation. MiRNA profiling revealed elevated levels of miR-423-5p and miR-21-5p in EVs from HG-treated ECs, which were suppressed in EVs from EP2R antagonist-treated cells. Notably, deep sequencing of plasma EVs from DR patients confirmed significant upregulation of these miRNAs compared to healthy controls. MiR-423-5p and miR-21-5p function as key paracrine mediators promoting M\u00fcller cell activation and retinal microvascular dysfunction in DR. These findings highlight the potential of circulating EVs as vehicles for miRNA-based therapeutic interventions in DR.\n\nID: 42440943\nTitle: Exosome-nanomaterial hybrid nanomedicine for ischemic stroke: microenvironment-informed design, therapeutic applications, and translational challenges.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a major cause of mortality and long-term disability despite advances in reperfusion therapy, underscoring the need for adjunctive interventions that can operate within the dynamic post-ischemic microenvironment. Exosomes and other extracellular vesicles (EVs) provide a biologically compatible interface for brain delivery, yet native vesicles are constrained by heterogeneous composition, modest loading efficiency, limited targeting control, and manufacturing variability. Exosome-nanomaterial hybrid systems are therefore emerging as modular platforms that integrate exosomal biointerfaces with the tunable payload capacity, imaging compatibility, mechanical stability, and stimulus responsiveness of synthetic nanomaterials. In this review, we propose a microenvironment-informed design paradigm for IS nanomedicine. In this framework, the ischemic lesion is not treated as a passive delivery destination, but as a staged design brief defined by blood-brain barrier (BBB) remodeling, thromboinflammation, oxidative stress, immune-cell trafficking, and neurovascular repair. We summarize how exosome source, nanomaterial component, cargo loading, surface functionalization, administration route, and characterization strategy can be selected according to these pathological cues. We further discuss therapeutic applications in BBB-penetrant delivery, neuroprotection, inflammatory modulation, imaging-guided therapy, and neurovascular recovery, together with safety, quality-control, manufacturing, and regulatory barriers. Overall, exosome-nanomaterial hybrids may become clinically meaningful for IS only when their design is microenvironment-informed, mechanism-driven, and translationally scalable.\n\nID: 42403537\nTitle: Nanomedicine for Depression: From Blood-Brain Barrier Delivery to Neuroimmune-Barrier-Plasticity Network Reprogramming.\nAbstract: Depression is a heterogeneous and recurrent brain disorder in which neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier dysfunction, oxidative and mitochondrial stress, and impaired neuroplasticity interact within the neurovascular-glial-neuronal unit. This mechanism-oriented integrative review examines how engineered nanosystems may move beyond brain entry toward lesion-directed modulation of the neuroinflammation-barrier-neuroplasticity axis. We first synthesize the pathological nodes that sustain depression-related network dysfunction and then classify current nanotherapeutic strategies into three categories: small-molecule nanodelivery systems, nucleic acid nanocarriers, and functional nanoplatforms, including lipid and polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic and nanozyme-based systems, biomimetic membrane-coated nanoparticles, and engineered extracellular vesicles, including exosomes. Unlike previous nanosynthesis-focused or catalogue-style nanocarrier reviews, this review organizes the field around a disease-mechanism framework rather than material type alone, emphasizing barrier-state navigation, glial-neuronal-subcellular targeting, stimulus-responsive release, and coordinated modulation of inflammation, vascular integrity, redox homeostasis, and synaptic plasticity. We further argue that nanoplatforms should be evaluated not only by brain accumulation but also by patient stratification, engagement of defined pathological nodes, multimodal biomarker evidence of network-level modulation, manufacturability, and safety under repeated administration. Major translational bottlenecks include insufficient subtype-specific patient selection, limited human relevance of current stress- and inflammation-based models, uncertain biodistribution and long-term neurotoxicity, constraints in scaling up nose-to-brain delivery, batch-to-batch variability, cargo instability, immunogenicity, and unclear regulatory classification of complex biologic or combination products. Finally, we propose a pathological-network-guided precision nanomedicine framework that integrates blood-brain barrier status assessment, liquid biopsy and imaging biomarkers, human-relevant validation models, and scalable quality control to guide future platform design and clinical translation. This review provides a disease-mechanism-centered roadmap for transforming nanomedicine for depression from delivery optimization into precision network-oriented intervention.\n\nID: 42384809\nTitle: Hierarchical microtopology and phase-specific delivery functionally restore ultralong nerve continuity across species.\nAbstract: Repairing ultralong peripheral nerve defects remains a major clinical challenge, primarily due to the requirement for regenerative platforms to be capable of integrating spatial guidance with temporally resolved biochemical cues. To address this, we developed a clinically translatable, fully synthetic nerve conduit that aligns with native regenerative principles through hierarchical microtopological engineering and phase-specific molecular delivery. This design creates a proregenerative microenvironment by synchronizing structural cues with repair cascades. The neuroanatomically inspired core mimics the endoneurium and perineurium, providing extensive cell-scale contact guidance for axonal alignment and fasciculation. A dual-layered sheath ensures mechanical integrity, metabolic permeability, and selective exclusion of fibrotic tissue. Tailored to align with distinct phases of nerve repair, the conduit enables sequential release of spermidine and ascorbic acid. Spermidine resolves early inflammation, priming the niche for ascorbic acid-mediated debris clearance, axonal elongation, and remyelination. In both rat (2 centimeters) and beagle (5 centimeters) models of critical-sized sciatic nerve defects, the conduit supports structural and functional regeneration comparable to autografts while yielding superior outcomes in motor coordination and suppression of autotomy. This strategy offers a scalable and mechanistically informed solution for repairing ultralong nerve injuries with high translational promise.\n\nID: 42325249\nTitle: Chimeric biohybrid nanovesicles induce immunogenic cell death for targeted and immune-potentiated glioblastoma therapy.\nAbstract: Glioblastoma (GBM) is shielded by both the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Here, we develop a chimeric biohybrid nanovesicle (BEV-RVG29-PTX) that integrates viral tropism, bacterial vesiculation, and chemotherapeutic cytotoxicity into a single genetically programmable platform. Genetic fusion of rabies virus glycoprotein 29 (RVG29) to the AIDA1 autotransporter translocator domain enables robust, autonomous surface expression on bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) without the need for chemical conjugation. The BEV-RVG29-PTX drives receptor-dependent BBB transcytosis and achieves efficient glioma accumulation. Encapsulated paclitaxel (PTX), otherwise restricted by BBB impermeability, is effectively delivered to intracranial tumors and induces reactive oxygen species-driven immunogenic cell death. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells immune-activation experiments further confirmed an approximately 2-fold increase in CD80/CD86 activation. Synergizing with the pathogen-mimetic characteristics of BEVs, these signals also elicit an approximately 2-fold increase in intratumoral CD8\u207a T-cell infiltration, overcome immune exclusion, and achieve durable tumor control with extended survival in orthotopic GBM models. Accordingly, this virus-bacteria-drug biohybrid strategy enables targeted brain delivery while simultaneously amplifying antitumor immunity, offering a promising and translatable approach for GBM treatment.\n\nID: 42323031\nTitle: Functionalized extracellular vesicles for enhanced brain targeted delivery of luteolin as a novel anti-neuroinflammatory therapy.\nAbstract: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains the most formidable obstacle in CNS drug development, severely hindering the delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain. While many natural compounds, such as the flavonoid luteolin (Lut), possess potent anti-neuroinflammatory properties, their clinical potential is restricted by poor pharmacokinetic profiles and minimal BBB permeability. To address this systemic challenge, we developed a versatile, brain-targeting nanoplatform utilizing mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs). For active CNS targeting, these EVs were functionalized with a chimeric RVG-CP05 peptide via modular, non-covalent anchoring and subsequently loaded with Lut. This RVG@EV-Lut nanocomposite was characterized for its physicochemical properties and evaluated using a Transwell-based in vitro BBB model. Therapeutic efficacy and biodistribution were assessed in a C57BL/6J mouse model of LPS-induced neuroinflammation. RVG functionalized EVs exhibited dynamic stability in vitro, significantly increased cellular uptake by both endothelial cells and microglia and and enhanced the active transport of Lut across the BBB in vitro. Compared to free Lut and non-targeted vesicles, the RVG@EV-Lut platform demonstrated superior brain accumulation and prolonged retention during in vivo imaging. This targeted delivery resulted in a robust suppression of cerebral pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduced neuronal apoptosis, and preservation of hippocampal cytoarchitecture. Critically, these effects were translated into a marked restoration of spatial memory and cognitive performance in the treated mice. Our findings demonstrate that the RVG@EV-Lut platform effectively overcomes the BBB to deliver therapeutic payloads directly to the CNS. This modular engineering strategy provides a scalable and broadly applicable solution for enhancing the brain delivery of compounds with poor pharmacokinetics.\n\nID: 42226217\nTitle: Microbiota, systemic immunity, and extracellular vesicles in stroke: peripheral nodes as therapeutic leverage points.\nAbstract: Stroke is increasingly understood as a systemic disorder rather than a brain-only lesion. Beyond the initial cerebral ischemic insult, rapid autonomic and neuroendocrine stress responses destabilize peripheral organ homeostasis and promote widespread immune and metabolic remodeling. Subsequent barrier failure and peripheral immune dysregulation can generate a sustained \"second hit\" in which circulating microbial products, damage-associated signals, and inflammatory mediators feedback to amplify neuroinflammation in a blood-brain barrier-vulnerable state. Meanwhile, post-stroke immunity is temporally plastic: inflammatory programs that worsen acute injury can later support resolution and repair, indicating that outcomes depend on immune balance and timing, not simply inflammatory magnitude. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as multi-cargo biologics with consistent preclinical benefit across functional, histological, and inflammatory endpoints. However, clinical translation has progressed slowly, in part because development has largely prioritized strategies to enhance central nervous system delivery even though systemically administered vesicles typically show low exposure in brain parenchyma. Here, we propose a \"periphery-first\" therapeutic strategy that reframes this pharmacokinetic profile as an advantage. By leveraging the natural sequestration of systemically delivered vesicles by reticuloendothelial and barrier-associated organs-particularly the liver, spleen, and gut-this approach aims to reprogram peripheral immune trajectories, strengthen barrier integrity, and suppress humoral amplification loops that sustain secondary brain injury. We synthesize evidence for stroke-driven multi-organ dysfunction and phase-dependent immune remodeling and integrate mechanistic plausibility for EVs acting through complementary routes: peripheral immune and metabolic rebalancing, actions at the blood-brain barrier interface and limited but potentially meaningful effects within central nervous system immune niches. We also summarize the emerging clinical landscape of EV interventions in stroke and highlight key translational constraints, including product heterogeneity and potency-linked quality control, comorbidity-relevant modeling aligned with systemic pathology, dosing and safety limitations imposed by hepatic clearance, and the need for artifact-resistant biodistribution methods and causal necessity/sufficiency study designs to quantify route-to-efficacy. A periphery-first framework positions EV therapy as a systems-level intervention that targets peripheral drivers of secondary brain injury. Establishing quantitative causal mechanisms and translation-ready manufacturing and dosing principles will be essential to accelerate clinical development beyond a primarily brain-delivery paradigm.\n\nID: 42183388\nTitle: Intranasal CRISPR- lipid nanoparticles targeting MAPK9 reduce neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers a sustained neuroinflammatory response driven by activated microglia, which contributes to secondary injury and long-term neurological dysfunction. Therapeutic reprogramming of microglial activation from a pro-inflammatory (M1-like) to a reparative (M2-like) phenotype represents a promising strategy; however, the lack of cell-specific targeting within an injured brain has limited clinical translation. Here, we developed a targeted gene-editing nanotherapy to modulate post-traumatic innate immune responses. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating CRISPR-Cas12a components were engineered to target mitogen-activated protein kinase-9 (MAPK9), a key regulator of pro-inflammatory signaling, and were conjugated with an Iba-1 antibody (Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs) to enable selective targeting of microglia. In vitro, MAPK9 editing in primary macrophages inhibited M1 polarization and promoted an M2-like phenotype, leading to reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In a TBI mouse model, intranasal administration of Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs achieved efficient delivery to the injured brain, with selective localization in Iba-1 + microglia. MAPK9 CRISPR targeting significantly attenuated microglial activation, reduced central and peripheral inflammatory responses, and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Importantly, this approach demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with no detectable toxicity across major organs. Collectively, these findings establish a non-viral, intranasal CRISPR-based strategy for cell-specific modulation of neuroinflammation following TBI. Targeted genome editing of MAPK9 effectively reprograms microglial activation and attenuates acute inflammatory responses, highlighting its potential as a promising and translationally relevant therapeutic platform for TBI and related neuroinflammatory disorders.\n\nID: 42173071\nTitle: Olfactory enrichment - effects of odorised straw on exploratory behaviour, straw engagement, and play in finishing pigs.\nAbstract: Effective provision of enrichment is challenging in commercial pig production due to costs and practical aspects. This experiment tested whether odorised straw could enhance straw engagement and improve welfare on a commercial farm. It involved 1\u00a0600 pigs, from 10\u00a0weeks of age to slaughter, housed in pens of approx. 10 littermates. Eighty pens were assigned to one of four treatments: Odorised straw provided in a rack with odour changing (1) weekly or (2) every weekday, or odourless straw (3) in a rack or (4) on the floor (empty rack). The remaining 80 pens served as controls (straw provided on the floor, no rack). Odorised treatments were essential oils (lavender, aniseed, ginger, thyme, or pine), and the odourless treatment was mineral oil. Clinical welfare scores (tail damage, ear damage, body soiling) were scored weekly, and behaviour was recorded (weeks 5, 7, and 9). Data collection included straw engagement duration, relative interaction with straw and pen inventory, play (locomotor, social, straw-related), and rubbing and rolling behaviour. Clinical welfare scores were not significantly affected by treatment. Tail damage and body soiling worsened over time (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Compared with odourless straw, odorised straw significantly prolonged straw engagement (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05) and significantly increased play and rubbing and rolling (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Relative straw and inventory interactions did not differ between treatments (P\u00a0>\u00a00.05). Increased straw engagement and play behaviour suggest that odorised straw is a promising enrichment strategy for enhancing pig welfare in commercial production systems.\n\nID: 42146521\nTitle: Pharmacological rescue of mitochondrial dysfunction, neurite degeneration, and premature death of ALS and AD iPSC-derived neurons.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial (MT) dysfunction is a key driver of ALS pathology. Without a healthy MT system, motor neurons (MN) function at sub-optimal levels and die. In addition, other effects of ALS, like axon/dendrite degeneration, may occur from a pathophysiological cascade spurred by MT dysfunction. A phenotypic screen identified Dipyridamole (DPM), an FDA-approved and safe drug, as having extraordinary effects on ALS patient induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived MNs. The drug prevented MT fragmentation, loss of MT content, impaired MT bioenergetics, axon/dendrite degeneration, and premature MN death, extending neuronal survival by more than fivefold. Importantly, its efficacy extended across iPSC-derived neurons representing two different familial forms of ALS (C9orf72, TDP43) and Alzheimer's disease (PSEN1), implying broad neuroprotection across ALS forms and other neurodegenerative diseases. DPM increased MT respiration and pyruvate uptake in a mechanism requiring the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier (MPC), mechanistically explaining its biological activities. Thus, DPM is a promising drug to repurpose or refine for treating neurodegenerative diseases or other diseases that would benefit by augmenting pyruvate uptake into MT.\n\nID: 42079190\nTitle: Intranasal CRISPR-lipid nanoparticles targeting MAPK9 reduce neuroinflammation after traumatic brain injury.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers a sustained neuroinflammatory response driven by activated microglia, which contributes to secondary injury and long-term neurological dysfunction.

Dysregulation of RNA metabolism and splicing has emerged as a central mechanism in ALS pathogenesis. TARDBP (TAR DNA-binding protein), FET family proteins (FUS, EWSR1, TAF15), SOD1 (Superoxide Dismutase 1), and C9orf72 (Chromosome 9 Open Reading Frame 72) are key genes associated with ALS that regulate RNA processing, alternative splicing, and nuclear-cytoplasmic transport. Mutations or mislocalization of these proteins result in nuclear loss-of-function and cytoplasmic gain-of-function toxicity, promoting protein aggregation, sequestering spliceosomal components, and impairing spliceosome assembly. This leads to the aberrant inclusion of cryptic exons in essential neuronal genes, such as STMN2 (Stathmin 2) and UNC13A (Unc-13 Homolog A), resulting in the production of truncated proteins, defective axonal maintenance, and impaired synaptic function. TDP-43 pathology, a hallmark of ALS, disrupts splicing and RNA transport, while C9orf72 repeat expansions and FET protein mutations exacerbate cytoplasmic aggregation and stress granule dynamics. Mutant SOD1 contributes via mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and disrupted axonal transport. Therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms are advancing rapidly. Gene replacement therapy, which restores STMN2 expression, and antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting mutant transcripts show promise in preclinical and early clinical studies. Complementary approaches, including the inhibition of stress kinases and the activation of autophagy, reduce cytoplasmic protein aggregation and support neuronal homeostasis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of RNA splicing regulation, spliceosomal dysfunction, and cryptic exon incorporation in ALS. Understanding the interplay among splicing defects, RNA-binding protein pathology, and neuronal degeneration is critical for developing next-generation multimodal therapies to restore RNA processing, reduce toxic protein accumulation, and promote motor neuron survival.\n\nID: 41903398\nTitle: Honeysuckle-derived vesicle-like nanoparticle and their hybrid vesicle as novel drug delivery systems for glioma therapy.\nAbstract: Gliomas present a formidable challenge in oncology due to their immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and the restricted delivery of therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier. Here, we report a novel hybrid nanoplatform (HEV) for synergistic chemo-immunotherapy, constructed by integrating honeysuckle-derived vesicle-like nanoparticles (HDVN) with paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded liposomes via PEG-mediated fusion. HDVN, extracted from Lonicera japonica Flos using sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation, measured 104\u202f\u00b1\u202f2.1\u202fnm in diameter and carried functional miRNAs, including miRNA2911, capable of modulating tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) polarization through the JNK and p38 MAPK pathway. The resulting HEV achieved an encapsulation efficiency of 86.58\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.06% and were administered intranasally to exploit nasal-to-brain (N2B) delivery and enhanced permeability effects. In vitro, HEV exhibited potent cytotoxicity against C6 glioma cells (IC50: 3.93\u202f\u00b5g/mL) and promoted M1 polarization of TAM, upregulating CD80, CD86, and MHC-II while suppressing CD206. In vivo, HEV significantly inhibited tumor growth in C6 glioma-bearing mice, extending median survival from 21 to 66 days, with reduced systemic toxicity compared to free paclitaxel. miRNA sequencing and KEGG pathway analysis confirmed the cross-kingdom immunomodulatory function of HDVN, contributing to the synergistic therapeutic effect. This study establishes HDVN and HEV as a pioneering nanoplatform for targeted chemo-immunotherapy in glioma, offering a promising strategy with potential for clinical translation.\n\nID: 41792535\nTitle: Design of a Thermoresponsive Nose-to-Brain Neuromaterial for the Release of Naturally Derived Extracellular Vesicles Delivering Teriflunomide for Multiple Sclerosis.\nAbstract: Multiple sclerosis is a neuroinflammatory disease characterized by demyelination and progressive neurological decline. Teriflunomide, a first-line immunomodulatory agent, faces limitations due to oral route of administration and systemic toxicity. To overcome these challenges, we developed a nose-to-brain delivery system comprising teriflunomide-loaded ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (G-EVs) embedded in an in situ nasal gel. G-EVs were isolated via serial centrifugation and double filtration and characterized for particle size (103.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.09\u00a0nm) and zeta potential (-17.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.32\u00a0mV) confirming nanoscale uniformity. Teriflunomide was loaded into G-EVs with an entrapment efficiency of 63.24\u2009\u00b1\u20090.75%. In vitro release studies revealed a biphasic drug release profile; an initial burst release of 3% in 24\u00a0h followed by sustained release over 21\u00a0days. The cytotoxicity of the G-EVs, loaded G-EVs and the drug was found to be non-toxic at lower concentrations (<\u20090.5\u00a0mg/ml). It was observed that drug loading enhanced cellular internalization of the G-EVs. Pluronic F127 and chitosan was used to formulate a thermoresponsive and mucoadhesive nasal gel. Rheological analysis demonstrated a sol-gel transition at 34.13\u2009\u00b1\u20090.76\u00a0\u00b0C, with high G' values indicating more elasticity and stiffness, behaving more like a solid. Mucoadhesion testing confirmed strong retention on mucin through texture analysis and in vitro studies. The loaded G-EVs were added to the nasal gel and SEM was performed to confirm uniformity. This formulation could offer a synergistic platform for brain drug delivery, combining the biocompatibility of naturally-derived EVs with the thermoresponsive nasal gel.\n\nID: 41769702\nTitle: Dimethyl fumarate and mitochondrial physiology: implications for neurological disorders.\nAbstract: Dimethyl fumarate (DMF; C6H8O4) is an ester of fumaric acid widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis and plaque psoriasis. Beyond its established immunomodulatory actions, DMF is increasingly recognized as a small molecule capable of reshaping cellular redox homeostasis and mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles that integrate energy metabolism, calcium buffering, and apoptosis regulation, while also generating reactive oxygen species that function as signaling mediators. Given their central role in neuronal survival and function, mitochondrial integrity is a critical determinant of neuroprotection. The aim of this review is to discuss the mechanistic aspects by which DMF influences mitochondrial physiology in central nervous system (CNS) cells, based on evidence from experimental models and patient-derived samples. Data consistently show that DMF activates the Nrf2 pathway, leading to increased expression of antioxidant enzymes (e.g., NQO-1, HO-1) and induction of mitochondrial biogenesis markers (e.g., PGC-1\u03b1, NRF1, TFAM). In neurons and oligodendrocytes, DMF enhances respiratory function and limits apoptosis by modulating BCL-2 family proteins and suppressing cytochrome c release. Disease-relevant studies further demonstrate frataxin upregulation in Friedreich's ataxia and reduction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in C9orf72-related models. Conversely, in microglia, T cells, and vascular cells, DMF may impair mitochondrial respiration or increase apoptosis, particularly under inflammatory stress, suggesting a context-dependent effect. In conclusion, DMF exerts multifaceted and cell type-specific actions on mitochondria. Understanding these mechanisms may guide optimized therapeutic strategies and the identification of biomarkers for precision use in neurological disorders.\n\nID: 41624110\nTitle: Involvement of Taiman in juvenile hormone signaling controlling sexual maturation in a male moth.\nAbstract: In insects, juvenile hormone (JH) is essential for orchestrating reproductive events. For example, in the male moth Agrotis ipsilon, the behavioral response to female sex pheromone is linked to neuronal sensitivity in the primary olfactory centers (antennal lobes, ALs), and the maturation of accessory sex glands (ASGs) are known to be age- and JH-dependent. The molecular basis of this regulatory action of JH is not fully deciphered, and we show here that the heterodimerizing partner of Methoprene-tolerant called Taiman (Tai) is essential for the sexual maturation of male A. ipsilon. Tai expression in ALs and ASGs is elevated from the third day of adult life and is responsible for the acquisition of behavioral responsiveness to the sex pheromone and ASG maturation. Tai-deficient old males exhibited altered sexual behavior and delayed ASG maturation. Moreover, the expression levels of Tai and Kr\u00fcppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1), an early JH-induced transcription factor, were reduced in ALs and ASGs of JH-deprived and Tai-deficient old males, respectively. Exogenous JH injection into young males resulted in precocious sexual maturation and this JH induction was suppressed by Tai silencing. Our results demonstrate that Tai is an actor of the JH signaling pathway that operates in ALs and ASGs to promote pheromone information processing and consequently the display of sexual behavior in synchrony with ASG maturation, ultimately optimizing male reproductive success. Thus, this study provides additional insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hormonal regulation of sexual maturation in insects.\n\nID: 41516158\nTitle: Multilevel Screening Platform Utilizing Cellular and Zebrafish Models to Identify Short Peptides with High Improvement of Motor Neuron Growth.\nAbstract: Zebrafish is emerging as a model animal for phenotype-based drug screening. Drugs screened from the zebrafish platform have advanced into clinical trials, underscoring their translational potential. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive motor neurons (MN) degenerative disease with few approved drugs. Previously, supplementation with exogenous recombinant phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (Pgk1) was found to improve MN growth through its interaction with receptor Eno2. To bypass the high complexity and cost of full-length Pgk1 production, a short segment within Pgk1 (M08) was predicted as the key motif interacting with Eno2, and a zebrafish phenotypic screening platform was established to find the most neurotrophic compound(s) among M08 and its mutants. We first found that M08-injected zebrafish embryos significantly increased branched caudal primary MNs (CaPMNs). However, compared to M08 (59.20 \u00b1 1.80%), M039, among 17 mutants further screened, showed even more improvement of branched CaPMNs, up to 74.54 \u00b1 3.73%. Next, when we administered the M039 peptide to C9ORF72-knockdown ALS-like zebrafish embryos, it improved axonal growth and swimming ability. Then, we employed a cellular model as a secondary screen, and M039 exhibited improved neurite outgrowth of MN (NOMN) and reduced p-Cofilin in NSC34 neural cells grown in ALS-like condition. Therefore, by using a zebrafish MN phenotype as a primary screening platform, we identified a mutated short peptide M039 having the most pronounced positive effect on improving neurite growth among all 17 mutants in comparison to parental M08, demonstrating the feasibility of zebrafish screening as a cost-effective strategy for finding promising neuroprotective short peptides that serve as neurotherapeutic potentials.\n\nID: 41495703\nTitle: RVG-targeted extracellular vesicles loaded with echinatin attenuate dopaminergic neurodegeneration via the IGF-2/PI3K/Akt pathway in Parkinson's disease mice.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons. The development of effective neuroprotective therapies is severely hampered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts drug delivery to the central nervous system. This study aimed to develop a novel brain-targeted nanodelivery system by functionalizing extracellular vesicles (EVs) with a rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG)-derived peptide to deliver echinatin (Echi), and to systematically evaluate its therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms in a mouse model of PD. We successfully engineered the nanotherapeutics, termed RVG-EVs@Echi, which efficiently crossed the BBB and selectively accumulated in DA neurons and microglia following systemic administration. In a chronic MPTP-induced mouse model of PD, treatment with RVG-EVs@Echi significantly ameliorated motor deficits and rescued tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons in the substantia nigra and striatum, with no detectable peripheral toxicity. Mechanistically, RVG-EVs@Echi exerted potent neuroprotective effects by upregulating insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) and activating the downstream PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling cascade, which mitigated oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis. Furthermore, integrated multi-omics analyses revealed that RVG-EVs@Echi treatment modulated metabolic profiles in the midbrain and gut, and partially restored MPTP-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis. This study demonstrates that RVG-EVs@Echi represents a safe, noninvasive, and effective nanotherapeutic platform for targeted brain delivery in PD. By activating the IGF-2/PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 neuroprotective pathway and modulating the gut-brain metabolic axis, this targeted delivery system presents a highly promising and translatable strategy for the treatment of PD and other neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 41430470\nTitle: Axonal Eif5a hypusination controls local translation and mitigates defects in FUS-ALS.\nAbstract: Local protein synthesis is vital for neuronal function, but its dysregulation in neurodegenerative diseases remains poorly defined. Here we applied spatial transcriptomics to adult mouse motor nerve axons and cell bodies to enable subcellular mapping. Among transcripts found in mature axons, the most enriched biological process is protein translation, and localization of translation machinery was confirmed using multiplexed single-molecule spatial transcriptomics combined with immunofluorescence. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated mutations in the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS), which suppress local translation, disrupt the compartment-specific RNA signatures, including components of the translation machinery. In particular, eukaryotic initiation factor 5a (Eif5a), a translation factor involved in elongation and termination, is found to be locally impaired in mutant FUS axons with reduced levels of its active hypusinated form. Axon-specific treatment with polyamine spermidine restores Eif5a hypusination and ameliorates mutant FUS-dependent neuronal defects, including suppression of local protein synthesis. Finally, in vivo spermidine treatment reduces ALS-related toxicity in mutant FUS and TDP-43 Drosophila models, which may have implications for therapy development.\n\nID: 41399181\nTitle: Engineering exosomes for Alzheimer's disease: Multi-target therapeutic strategies from pathogenesis to clinical translation.\nAbstract: The complex pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), combined with the presence of the blood\u2012brain barrier (BBB), severely limits the effectiveness of conventional therapeutic approaches. Engineered exosomes-nanoscale extracellular vesicles of natural origin-have emerged as a promising platform for innovative AD therapy due to their excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and intrinsic ability to cross the BBB. This review provides a systematic overview of the synthetic and structural biological characteristics of exosomes, with a focus on their functionalisation through physical, chemical and genetic modifications. These approaches enable the targeted loading of therapeutic cargo and the conjugation of brain-targeting peptides, thereby facilitating precise delivery to specific brain regions and offering a multi-target therapeutic strategy for AD. We further examine the potential of engineered exosomes in modulating core AD pathological pathways, including amyloid-beta deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction, and highlight their utility as an integrated delivery system for the co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents to achieve synergistic therapeutic effects. Finally, key challenges in clinical translation are addressed, such as scalable production, standardised drug loading protocols and comprehensive assessment of safety and immunogenicity. Unlike previous reviews that primarily focus on general engineering techniques, this article emphasises a rational design strategy tailored for multi-target synergistic therapy and presents a comprehensive roadmap from basic research to clinical application, thereby providing both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the development of next-generation AD treatments. KEY POINTS: A multidimensional approach combining physical, chemical, and genetic modifications equips exosomes with brain-targeted peptides, enhancing their capability for precise brain delivery in Alzheimer's disease (AD) Engineered exosomes are designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and provide stimuli-responsive release of therapeutic agents, enabling simultaneous clearance of amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and inhibition of neuroinflammation. The transition from preclinical success to early-phase human trials is underway, with intranasal administration emerging as a promising, non-invasive method for brain drug delivery. A well-defined plan for clinical translation includes scalable Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) production, rigorous safety assessments, and biomarker-guided clinical trial design to facilitate clinical application.\n\nID: 41392158\nTitle: Positive modulation of sigma-1 receptor: a new weapon to mitigate disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterised by degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and progressive paralysis. Currently, no treatment is available to halt or reverse the progression of the disease. Oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, accumulation of unfolded proteins and inflammation are interconnected key actors involved in ALS. A potent therapeutic strategy would be to find molecules that break this vicious circle leading to neuronal dysfunction and death. Targeting sigma-1 receptor (S1R) could meet this objective, as this chaperone protein modulates many cell survival mechanisms. So far, the impact of S1R activation in ALS has been studied using specific agonists and mostly on the SOD1 mutation that represents only 2% of patients. In the present study, the impact of two different S1R activators, the reference agonist PRE-084 and the positive modulator OZP002, was compared on two key ALS genes: TDP43 and C9orf72. The dissociation of S1R from Binding immunoglobulin Protein (BiP) was determined using ELISA. OZP002 toxicity was compared to PRE-084 on zebrafish larvae with increasing concentrations. The efficacy of OZP002 and PRE-084 was evaluated on the locomotor escape response of zebrafish expressing mutant TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. Their effects on NRF2 target gene expression were studied by qPCR. The beneficial effect was further examined on the locomotor performances of TDP43A315T mice using rotarod and beam walking tests. We also performed analysis on motor neuron loss and glial reactivity. OZP002 is a positive modulator of S1R, that increases the dissociation of the S1R-BiP complex induced by orthosteric agonists. S1R activation by both OZP002 and PRE-084 restored the locomotor response of ALS zebrafish expressing either TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. The neuroprotection was due at least in part to the NRF2 cascade stimulation but not with a direct interaction. More importantly, OZP002 and PRE-084 prevented locomotor defects and degeneration of spinal motor neurons in TDP43A315T transgenic mice. Astroglial and microglial reactivities were also reduced by both activators. We here emphasize the therapeutic value of S1R activation in mitigating ALS pathology. Additionally, we show that the positive modulators pave the way for the development of new S1R-activating compounds for ALS treatment.\n\nID: 41365006\nTitle: Evaluating the generalizability of the normative odor rating across cultures: Evidence from a German-speaking sample.\nAbstract: Olfactory perception varies across cultures, yet the cross-cultural generalizability of normative odor ratings remains underexplored. This study investigates the generalizability of normative odor ratings to a German-speaking sample by assessing 24 odors across eight dimensions-familiarity, frequency, pleasantness, irritability, context availability, discriminability, age of acquisition, and verbalizability-in 124 German-speaking participants (Mage\u00a0=\u00a022.36, SD\u00a0=\u00a03.24). Building on Moss et al.'s (2016) methodology with English-speaking participants, we examined the consistency of these dimensions, the influence of odor familiarity, and the role of odor-specific properties versus individual differences. Results revealed significant intercorrelations among the dimensions, except for age of acquisition, which negatively correlated with others, confirming the importance of early exposure in olfactory perceptual saliency and linguistic accessibility. For high-familiar odors, strong correlations with Moss et al.'s ratings were found for familiarity (r\u00a0=\u00a00.805), frequency (r\u00a0=\u00a00.799), pleasantness (r\u00a0=\u00a00.792), context availability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.794), discriminability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.967), and verbalizability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.844), and age of acquisition (r\u00a0=\u00a00.750), but not for irritability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.495). Low-familiar odors showed only a moderate correlation for verbalizability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.530), highlighting the role of exposure in cross-cultural consistency. Variance across odors significantly exceeded variance across participants, indicating reliable differentiation by odor properties. These findings suggest that normative odor ratings show strong cross-sample consistency across the two samples, particularly for familiar odors. This study supports the utility of normative ratings in olfactory research while highlighting the role of familiarity and context in cross-cultural perception.\n\nID: 41304786\nTitle: Nanoparticle-Mediated Nose-to-Brain Delivery for Ischemic Stroke Therapy: Preclinical Insights.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke remains a major cause of mortality and long-term disability, yet current therapeutic strategies are largely limited to reperfusion approaches such as intravenous thrombolysis and thrombectomy, which are constrained by narrow treatment windows and the risk of complications. Moreover, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) severely restricts drug penetration into the injured brain, limiting the translation of promising neuroprotective agents into clinical success. Intranasal (IN) delivery has emerged as a compelling alternative route that bypasses the BBB and enables rapid access to the central nervous system through olfactory, trigeminal, and perivascular pathways. This narrative review highlights recent advances in preclinical research on IN therapeutics for ischemic stroke, ranging from small molecules and biologics to nucleic acids and cell-based therapies. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of nanotechnology, including extracellular vesicles, liposomes, and inorganic nanoparticles, which enhance drug stability, targeting, and bioavailability. Studies demonstrate that IN delivery of growth factors, cytokines, and engineered stem cells can promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis, white matter repair, and functional recovery, while nanocarriers further expand the therapeutic potential. Overall, intranasal delivery represents a promising and non-invasive strategy to overcome the limitations of conventional stroke therapies, offering new avenues for neuroprotection and regeneration that warrant further investigation toward clinical translation.\n\nID: 41278137\nTitle: Innovative approaches in neural stem cell therapy: a comprehensive review of mechanisms and applications.\nAbstract: Stem cell therapy is revolutionizing the treatment of neurological disorders, offering innovative approaches for regeneration and repair. This paper explores five distinct mechanisms of stem cell therapy, focusing on their applications and therapeutic potential. Neural stem cells (NSCs) combined with pharmacological agents, such as FTY720, enhance remyelination and neural repair in multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injuries (SCI). Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a personalized approach by enabling the generation of patient-specific NSCs for treating conditions like Parkinson's Disease (PD). Gene-editing technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, expand the scope of NSC applications by facilitating precise interventions for genetic disorders like SMARD1. Neurotrophic factors derived from NSCs present a cell-free alternative to promote neuronal survival and repair in diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Additionally, NSC-derived extracellular vesicle therapies, such as intranasal delivery methods for AD treatment, offer non-invasive approaches to reduce neuroinflammation and enhance cognitive recovery. While these mechanisms demonstrate remarkable therapeutic potential, challenges such as cost, scalability, and safety remain. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of these mechanisms, highlighting their contributions to the future of regenerative medicine and personalized therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 41272785\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles ameliorate radiation-caused dry mouth via modulating immune balance and cell metabolism.\nAbstract: Radiation therapy of head and neck cancers frequently leads to irreversible dry mouth that severely compromises the quality of life and is difficult to remedy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could ameliorate this adverse effect, but their application is limited by high variations of conventional tissue-derived MSCs and many practical challenges of cell therapies. This study investigated the potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from standardized MSCs derived from iPS cells (iMSCs) in ameliorating radiation-caused dry mouth. In a mouse model, locally injected young but not aging iMSC-EVs after radiation preserved saliva secretion and acinar structures. Mechanistically, young iMSC-EVs reversed the acute inhibition of physiological inflammation and chronic increase of pathogenic inflammation in radiated salivary glands, which is related to the preservation of tissue-resident macrophages and polarization of infiltrated macrophages. At both acute and chronic phase after radiation, iMSC-EVs enhanced mitochondria-related cell metabolism pathways such as Oxidative Phosphorylation that modulate cell survival and macrophage polarization. OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination are much richer in effective young iMSC-EVs compared with inert aging EVs. Moreover, young iMSC-EV treatment increased hypusinated eIF5A in radiated salivary glands, especially in macrophages. These findings together indicated that iMSC-EVs are a promising cell-free product to restore salivary gland function impaired by radiation, which is mediated by maintaining immune balance and mitochondria-related cell metabolism at both acute and chronic phases.\n\nID: 41252430\nTitle: Nose-to-Brain Delivery of Chlorella vulgaris Extracellular Vesicles for Antidepressant Effects.\nAbstract: Current antidepressants face limitations due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), systemic side effects and delayed onset. Here, we engineered an intranasal thermosensitive hydrogel (EVs@IN) encapsulating Chlorella vulgaris-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) for sustained nose-to-brain delivery. EVs@IN significantly enhanced nasal mucosal retention and facilitated targeted transport of EVs to the hippocampus via olfactory pathways, while minimizing pulmonary exposure and clearance. In mouse models of depression (LPS-induced and CUMS), intranasal EVs@IN elicited rapid and potent alleviation of depressive- and anxiety-like behaviours. Mechanistically, EVs modulated astrocyte phenotypic transformation, reducing the release of neurotoxic complement C3 and suppressing neuroinflammation. Concurrently, they activated the Nrf2-Pgc-1\u03b1 pathway, enhanced antioxidant defences (elevated SOD and GSH), mitigated oxidative stress and restored synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Furthermore, we demonstrated the capacity of EVs to serve as efficient drug carriers for brain delivery. EVs@IN exhibited excellent long-term biocompatibility in vivo. Our findings establish plant-derived EVs within a sustained-release intranasal platform as a promising, scalable and BBB-bypassing strategy for the rapid treatment of depression and potentially other neuropsychiatric disorders.\n\nID: 41241103\nTitle: Selective peptide-guided transcytosis enhances extracellular vesicle-mediated siRNA delivery across the blood-brain barrier.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have clinically emerged as promising biocompatible vesicles for delivering therapeutic siRNAs to the central nervous system. Among targeting strategies, the rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) peptide is the most commonly used modification on the EV surface to enable efficient systemic delivery of EVs. Although RVG is widely believed to facilitate blood-brain barrier (BBB) through receptor interactions, the underlying mechanism remains indirect and equivocal. Similarly, cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) modifications have been used to enhance BBB transport of various vehicles, such as CPP.16, which improves the brain delivery efficiency of adeno-associated virus 9 capsids. However, whether CPP.16 retains its delivery efficacy when applied to EVs remains unclear, raising concerns about carrier-specific limitations. In this study, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the transcytosis and delivery efficiency of RVG- and CPP.16-modified small EVs (sEVs) loaded with siRNAs. Using an in vitro BBB model, we found that these modifications do not alter the internalization of siRNAs by endothelial cells. Instead, these modifications appear to divert sEVs and siRNAs into transcytotic pathways, enabling their release into abluminal cells and subsequent target gene silencing. Moreover, RVG-sEVs primarily interact with the receptor and are internalized via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, leading to more efficient BBB penetration compared with CPP.16-sEVs. Consistently, in vivo studies demonstrate that RVG-sEVs deliver siRNAs more efficiently to both neurons and astrocytes compared with unmodified or CPP.16-sEVs. Our findings support the clinical potential of BBB-targeting peptides and provide critical insights for the rational selection of guiding peptides in central nervous system drug delivery.\n\nID: 41231952\nTitle: MARK2 regulates C9orf72 repeat-associated non-AUG translation.\nAbstract: Protein homeostasis is exquisitely regulated through processes involving protein synthesis essential for cellular health and disease prevention. Repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation at expanded GGGGCC repeats in the C9orf72 gene produces dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins that are implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (C9-ALS/FTD). However, the mechanisms promoting this noncanonical translation remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2) as a key eIF2\u03b1 kinase that enhances RAN translation under proteotoxic stress. We show that MARK2-eIF2\u03b1 signaling, activated by misfolded proteins including DPRs and TDP-43, is upregulated in C9-ALS patient tissues. Loss of MARK2 significantly suppresses RAN translation in reporter cells, patient-derived neurons, and a mouse model and confers neuroprotection under proteotoxic conditions. These findings position MARK2 as a critical stress-sensing cytosolic regulator that promotes repeat-associated noncanonical translation and associated toxicity.\n\nID: 42566293\nTitle: IL-4-Primed Microglial Extracellular Vesicles Attenuate Rotenone-Induced Cell Death in SH-SY5Y Cells: A Contributory Role for miR-191-5p.\nAbstract: Microglia contribute to central nervous system homeostasis and neuroprotection partly through the release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) carrying regulatory cargoes such as microRNAs. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) alters microglial state and secretory output; however, whether sEVs released from IL-4-treated microglia protect neurons against toxic injury, and which cargoes mediate these effects, remains unclear. Here, we investigated the protective effects of sEVs derived from the IL-4-treated HMC3 human microglial cell line in a rotenone-induced injury model in the SH-SY5Y cell line and examined the contribution of microRNA-191-5p to neuroprotection. Small RNA sequencing revealed a distinct miRNA profile in IL-4-sEVs, with microRNA-191-5p emerging as the most statistically significant upregulated candidate. Its enrichment was confirmed by RT-qPCR. PKH67-labeled sEV-associated fluorescence was detected in SH-SY5Y cells, indicating uptake of microglia-derived sEVs by recipient cells. Functionally, pretreatment with IL-4-sEVs significantly reduced rotenone-induced cell death and preserved cell morphology compared with untreated and control sEV-treated cells. To assess the contribution of microRNA-191-5p, IL-4-sEVs were loaded with a microRNA-191-5p antagomir, which reduced microRNA-191-5p levels and partially attenuated the protective effect of IL-4-sEVs. Together, these findings suggest that sEVs derived from the IL-4-treated HMC3 microglial cell line mitigate rotenone-induced injury in the SH-SY5Y cell line in\u00a0vitro and that microRNA-191-5p contributes, at least in part, to this effect.\n\nID: 42542261\nTitle: Self-assembled paclitaxel-loaded spermidine-geranic acid ionic liquid nanoaggregates: preparation, enhanced cellular uptake, and antitumor efficacy.\nAbstract: Paclitaxel (PTX) is a potent anticancer drug whose efficacy is limited by poor solubility and severe side effects. This study developed a self-assembled nanoaggregate system based on a novel spermidine-geranic acid ionic liquid ([Spd][Ger] IL) for PTX delivery. The synthesized [Spd][Ger] IL exhibited a low apparent critical aggregation concentration (0.33\u00a0mg/mL), and molecular dynamics simulation confirmed its spontaneous self-assembly in water. PTX was efficiently incorporated into [Spd][Ger] nanoaggregates, affording a stable formulation with an encapsulation efficiency of 89.6%, a drug loading of 8.3%, and an average particle size of 171.8\u00a0nm. PTX@[Spd][Ger] showed sustained and pH-responsive release, with cumulative PTX release of 73.66% at pH 6.5 and 61.60% at pH 7.4 after 72\u00a0h. In vitro, PTX@[Spd][Ger] reduced the IC50 from 2.25 to 0.60\u00a0\u03bcg/mL in MCF-7 cells and from 4.33 to 1.24\u00a0\u03bcg/mL in 4\u00a0T1 cells after incubation for 24\u00a0h, which was attributed to the higher cellular uptake of [Spd][Ger] nanoaggregates. In a 4\u00a0T1 orthotopic mouse model, PTX@[Spd][Ger] produced tumor suppression comparable to Taxol\u00ae with markedly improved systemic tolerability.

This study evaluated the protective effects of spermidine (SPD) and melatonin (MT) supplementation on semen quality in Dorper rams during summer. Twenty-four rams were randomly assigned to a control group, an SPD group (5\u202fmg/kg, dietary supplementation), or an MT group (60\u202fmg, subcutaneous implantation) and treated for 60 days. The temperature-humidity index (THI) was monitored throughout the experimental period. Compared with the control group, MT significantly reduced serum cortisol concentration on day 30 (P\u202f<\u202f0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed at the other sampling time points. Serum testosterone, spermidine, and melatonin concentrations remained unchanged throughout the study (P\u202f>\u202f0.05). SPD supplementation significantly increased ejaculate volume on day 35 and sperm motility on day 42 (P\u202f<\u202f0.05), whereas MT did not significantly affect these parameters. Neither treatment reduced the overall sperm abnormality rate. However, both SPD and MT significantly decreased the proportion of acephalic and decaudated sperm on day 56 (P\u202f<\u202f0.05). Neither treatment significantly affected pregnancy rate, delivery rate, or the expression of PMFBP1 and SUN5 proteins in semen (P\u202f>\u202f0.05). Regarding oxidative stress, MT significantly downregulated CAT protein expression (P\u202f<\u202f0.05), whereas SPD significantly reduced MDA content and SOD1 protein expression (P\u202f<\u202f0.05); MT showed similar but non-significant trends for these two markers (P\u202f>\u202f0.05). Collectively, these findings demonstrate that SPD and MT exert distinct protective effects against heat stress, with SPD improving selected semen quality traits and both treatments reducing sperm head-tail separation, although these benefits did not translate into improved reproductive performance.\n\nID: 42528139\nTitle: Lineage-Tailored Vesicles from Human Retinal Ganglion-Like Cells Drive Metabolic Homeostasis and Bioenergetic Recovery in Glaucoma.\nAbstract: Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) exhibit high bioenergetic demands, rendering them vulnerable to mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic collapse during glaucomatous neurodegeneration. Therapeutic strategies capable of restoring mitochondrial homeostasis in human RGCs remain limited. We established a human retinal ganglion-like cell (RGLC) model of mitochondrial injury and evaluated neuroprotective efficacy of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from either undifferentiated BRN3B-H9 cells or differentiated lineage-tailored RGLCs. RGLC-derived sEVs (RGLC-sEVs) conferred robust neuroprotection, significantly enhancing neuronal survival, preserving neurite architecture, and mitigating mitochondrial stress following injury. These effects were reproducible in mixed retinal cultures and in an ocular hypertension mouse model of glaucoma, with neuroprotective benefits observed throughout the retinal landscape. Mechanistically, untargeted metabolomic profiling revealed extensive metabolic reprogramming involving oxidative phosphorylation, amino acid utilization, lipid metabolism, and redox regulatory pathways. In vitro tracking studies confirmed efficient uptake of sEVs by injured RGLCs, confirming effective vesicular cargo delivery under conditions that promote neuroprotection and metabolic recovery. Functional bioenergetic analysis further validated restoration of mitochondrial-glycolytic coupling and improved cellular energetic resilience. Collectively, our findings establish lineage-tailored RGLC-sEVs as a potent, cell-specific therapeutic candidate capable of reprogramming metabolic networks and restoring bioenergetic homeostasis in glaucomatous neurodegeneration, highlighting their translational potential for neuroprotective intervention in optic neuropathies.\n\nID: 42489808\nTitle: The New Spine of Access to the Brain's Secrets: Extracellular Vesicles from Cerebrospinal Fluid Liquid Biopsies in CNS Diseases and Blood-Brain Barrier Research.\nAbstract: Liquid biopsy is emerging as a powerful approach for less invasive biomarker discovery, with extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showing promise for the assessment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders without actual tissue biopsy and as a complement to imaging techniques. EVs carry molecular cargo such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids that mirror those at the tissue of origin, offering unique opportunities to quantify disease-related changes in biomarkers. Compared with plasma-derived EVs, those from CSF provide more direct insights into the CNS because of direct shedding of brain EVs to CSF and bypass of confounding factors involving entry to systemic circulation. Despite this potential, translation into clinical practice is limited by challenges such as low yields, purity concerns, and lack of standardized isolation protocols. Addressing these difficulties, alongside integrating multiomics approaches, will advance our understanding of EV molecular cargo and their functional roles in CNS diseases. Over time, CSF-derived EVs could become the new driver of precision medicine in neurology, offering biologic insight for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This perspective provides a critical evaluation of the current status of EV-based liquid biopsy in CSF and offers recommendations for future research and clinical translation of data from CSF-derived EVs, highlighting their potential to inform physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models. This state-of-the-art article evaluates existing evidence and highlights key knowledge gaps.\n\nID: 42484740\nTitle: Brown Adipose Tissue Activation Alleviates Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Increasing 14-3-3\u03b6 Secretion from Circulating Extracellular Vesicles to Suppress P53 Activity.\nAbstract: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) possesses thermogenic and endocrine functions, leading to it being considered a therapeutic target, but its role in cerebrovascular pathologies is largely unknown. Here, we elucidated BAT activation effects on cerebral ischemic stroke, using in vivo, in vitro, and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patient analyses. In vivo, recipient mice received BAT transplants, then subjected to ischemic stroke by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 90\u00a0min, followed by 24\u00a0h reperfusion. Another MCAO mouse group was injected with extracellular vesicles (EVs) from non- and BAT-transplanted mouse plasma. In vitro, HT-22 cells were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation, 24\u00a0h re-oxygenation (OGD/R), and incubation with PKH67-labelled EVs (BAT-EVs\u2009+\u2009OGD/R). Genomic, proteomic, and apoptotic analyses were conducted, particularly in relation to 14-3-3\u03b6 expression and the p53 apoptotic pathway. BAT transplantation and activation in MCAO mice significantly alleviated cerebral ischemic injury, manifesting as reduced infarct sizes and neurological severity scores. This was likely via BAT producing 14-3-3\u03b6 protein-enriched EVs, which were taken up by ischemic penumbra neuronal cells, where they exerted anti-apoptotic and neuroprotective effects. Similar findings were observed in BAT-EVs\u2009+\u2009OGD/R cells, along with discovering that 14-3-3\u03b6 knock-down increased, while 14-3-3\u03b6 overexpression reduced p53 phosphorylation and cell apoptosis. Moreover, AIS patients with higher peripheral blood 14-3-3\u03b6 had greater percentages of NIH Stroke Scale/Score decreases\u2009\u2265\u20092, indicating greater short-term neurological recovery. Therefore, increased 14-3-3\u03b6 from circulating EVs, obtained from BAT-transplanted donors, resulted in lowered apoptosis and increased neuroprotection in ischemic penumbra cells taking up those EVs, likely via 14-3-3\u03b6 suppressing the pro-apoptotic p53 pathway.\n\nID: 42484496\nTitle: ICANS After CAR-T Therapy: Mechanisms and Management With a Focus on Corticosteroid-Refractory ICANS.\nAbstract: Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has transformed the treatment of relapsed or refractory haematologic malignancies, but immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) remains a major and potentially life-threatening complication. Although most patients with ICANS improve after standard corticosteroid therapy, a subset shows insufficient improvement or neurological deterioration after corticosteroid initiation, a clinical scenario often described as corticosteroid-refractory or steroid-refractory ICANS. ICANS develops through a cascade initiated by CAR-T cell expansion and systemic cytokine release, followed by endothelial activation, blood-brain barrier disruption, glial-driven neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury. This process may be further amplified by on-target off-tumour effects and extracellular vesicles released from CAR-T cells. ICANS risk is influenced by CAR construct design, target antigen, and disease context. Several tools may contribute to multimodal risk assessment, including the Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy (ICE) score, EASIX/m-EASIX, ICANS-PSS, CART-NS, cytokine profiles, neurofilament light chain, electroencephalography, and imaging, although their predictive value requires further validation. This review summarises the cytokine-mediated mechanisms, product-specific risk patterns, and early recognition strategies of ICANS after CAR-T cell therapy. It also critically appraises emerging investigational approaches for corticosteroid-refractory ICANS, including cytokine-directed interventions, endothelial-stabilising strategies, tyrosine kinase inhibition, CAR-T cell depletion, intrathecal therapy, and engineered suicide gene systems.\n\nID: 42561943\nTitle: C9orf72-associated and sporadic FTD patient iPSC-microglia show differences in phagocytosis and gene expression.\nAbstract: C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion (C9-HRE) is a major genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). However, approximately half of the FTD patients are sporadic without a clear genetic background. To compare characteristics of microglia from different FTD subtypes, we generated induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia (iMG) from sporadic and C9-HRE-carrying behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD) patients and healthy controls. C9-HRE iMG displayed C9-HRE-associated RNA foci and dipeptide repeat proteins. All bvFTD iMG had fewer LAMP2-A-positive vesicles compared to control iMG. Additionally, C9-HRE iMG showed significantly increased LC3BII/I conversion after bafilomycin A1 treatment and altered phagocytic activity. The gene expression profile of C9-HRE iMG only modestly differed from the control iMG, but was greatly different from the sporadic bvFTD patient iMG. Our data show alterations in phagocytic and autophagosomal/lysosomal pathways and gene expression profiles between C9-HRE and sporadic bvFTD iMG for the first time.\n\nID: 42561602\nTitle: Insulin resistance as a driver of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease: Mechanistic links and therapeutic approaches.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-\u03b2 plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau protein aggregates, leading to progressive cognitive decline. Growing evidence suggests that AD may also be considered a metabolic disorder closely associated with insulin resistance (IR). Impaired insulin signaling disrupts the PI3K/Akt and GSK3-\u03b2 pathways, resulting in synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and aberrant protein phosphorylation. Moreover, IR contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). These metabolic alterations, together with impaired energy homeostasis, dysregulate intracellular signaling cascades and exacerbate amyloid and tau pathology. This narrative review examines the mechanistic interplay among insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in AD, with particular emphasis on the shared cellular pathways that underlie disease progression. In addition, it summarizes emerging therapeutic strategies targeting insulin signaling, including pharmacological insulin-sensitizing agents, incretin-based therapies, lifestyle interventions, and bioactive natural compounds. The review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy. Despite substantial progress, the precise mechanisms linking insulin resistance to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Further mechanistic and translational studies are urgently required to elucidate these interactions and advance the development of effective therapeutic interventions.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

Current treatments are only symptomatic and do not address the underlying pathogenic genetic mechanisms. The development of the CRISPR/Cas genome editing technologies, has increased possibilities for targeted repair of pathological mutations. CRISPR/Cas9, Cas12, and Cas13 systems enable targeted editing and transcriptome modulation in various preclinical models. CRISPR/Cas9 disruption of mutant APP, Tau, and LRRK2 genes, reducing toxic protein aggregration in AD models has restored normal genetic function. While correction of CAG nucleotide repeats in HD, and reduction of alpha-synuclein expression in PD. RNA targeting systems like Cas13 offers additional therapeutics potential by selectively degrading disease assciated transcript without altering genomic DNA. Advancements in engineered Cas variants with enhanced specificity, such as SpCas9-HF1, base editors and prime editors, with innovative delivery strategies including adeno-associated virus (AAVs) and nanoparticle-based systems, have improved genome editing. However, challenges remain, including off-target effects, mosaicism, and delivery across the BBB, and long-term safety. Ethical consideration focuses on somatic versus germline editing, equitable access, and regulatory oversight. While somatic editing shows acceptance in treating neurological disorders. Germline interventions face strict regulations due to potential multigeneration impacts.

Increasing attention has been devoted to its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by \u03b2-amyloid and phosphorylated tau accumulation, synaptic dysfunction, and progressive neuronal loss. In this narrative review, we examine potential mechanisms through which spermidine may influence AD pathophysiology and summarize available preclinical and clinical evidence. Preclinical studies indicate that spermidine induces autophagy, a key cellular clearance pathway responsible for removing damaged organelles and aggregated proteins. Because impaired neuronal autophagy contributes to the accumulation of \u03b2-amyloid and tau in AD, increasing intracellular spermidine levels may enhance the degradation of these toxic species. In addition, spermidine exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, attenuates microglial activation, and supports mitochondrial function. In animal models of AD and brain aging, spermidine administration has been associated with improvements in cognitive performance and synaptic function. However, human clinical evidence remains limited and largely inconclusive. Observational studies suggest associations between higher dietary spermidine intake and better cognitive outcomes, but do not establish causality. Randomized clinical trials to date are few, include small and heterogeneous populations, and have not demonstrated consistent effects on primary cognitive endpoints. Overall, spermidine represents a biologically plausible modulator of pathways relevant to neurodegeneration, but translation of preclinical findings into clinical benefit remains uncertain. Current evidence is insufficient to support its use as a therapeutic or preventive intervention in AD, and further well-designed clinical studies are required to clarify its efficacy and mechanisms of action. Alzheimer\u2019s disease is one of the most common causes of memory loss in older adults. Researchers are searching for ways to protect brain cells and slow the biological processes that lead to this disease. One molecule that has recently attracted attention is spermidine, a natural compound found in all living cells and in many foods, including whole grains, legumes, mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Spermidine plays several roles in the body. One of its most important effects is activation of autophagy, a natural cellular process that removes damaged proteins and other cellular waste. This process is relevant to Alzheimer\u2019s disease because the condition is associated with the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain. Experimental studies also suggest that spermidine may influence inflammation in the brain, support mitochondrial function (the energy system of cells), and help maintain communication between nerve cells. In this review, we summarized evidence from laboratory experiments, animal studies, and available human research. In animal models of brain aging and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, spermidine consistently shows neuroprotective effects and can improve memory performance. Human evidence is more limited. Observational studies suggest that higher dietary spermidine intake may be associated with better cognitive performance, while clinical trials investigating supplementation have produced mixed results. Spermidine is naturally present in many foods and is increasingly studied in the context of aging and brain health. Overall, current evidence suggests that spermidine may play a role in brain aging. Larger and well-designed clinical studies are needed to clarify its potential relevance for Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42358231 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42576814 for the quote: \"These nanoscale vesicles transport proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids across cellular and anatomical barriers, influencing synaptic function, immune signaling, and metabolic homeostasis.\"\n  FACT: Quote was found in context but NOT in the specific abstract mapped to ID '42576814'.\n  \n  Below is the complete, true text of ID 42576814 that you MUST read. \n  Find a valid, verbatim, character-perfect sentence inside this exact block to cite instead, or change your claim to align with what this text actually says:\n  \n  --- BEGIN ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42576814 ---\n  ID: 42576814\nTitle: Exosome-based nanomedicine for neurological disorders: mechanisms, engineering, and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This review highlights recent advances in exosome biology, cargo-sorting mechanisms, and engineering strategies designed to enhance therapeutic delivery and targeting within the central nervous system. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of engineered exosomes in neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, spinal cord injury, neuropathic pain, and neuroinflammatory disorders. In addition, we discuss how exosomes compare with conventional delivery platforms and critically examine the major barriers limiting their clinical translation, including heterogeneity, scalability, reproducibility, purity, and regulatory standardization. By integrating mechanistic insights with translational perspectives, this review provides a framework for the rational design and future clinical implementation of exosome-based nanomedicines for neurological disorders. Relevant literature was identified through searches of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Publications available from database inception through [Month Year] were screened using combinations of keywords including \"exosomes,\" \"extracellular vesicles,\" \"neurological disorders,\" \"brain-targeted delivery,\" \"exosome engineering,\" \"drug delivery,\" and \"clinical trials.\" Additional relevant articles were identified through manual searches of reference lists from selected studies and recent reviews. Exosomes are tiny natural particles released by cells that act as messengers, carrying proteins and genetic material between cells. Scientists are increasingly studying these particles because they may help deliver medicines to the brain and spinal cord, where many treatments struggle to reach due to protective barriers. This review explains how exosomes are formed, how they can be modified to carry drugs or therapeutic molecules, and how they may help treat diseases affecting the nervous system, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and certain neuropsychiatric disorders.We also discuss the advantages of exosomes compared with conventional drug delivery systems and summarize recent advances in engineering strategies that improve their targeting abilities. Although laboratory studies have produced encouraging results, many challenges remain before exosome-based therapies can become routine treatments. These include difficulties related to large-scale production, quality control, safety, and ensuring that exosomes reach the desired tissues without causing unwanted effects.In addition, this review highlights current clinical studies and discusses the steps needed to translate these discoveries into real-world therapies.

Therapeutic strategies capable of restoring mitochondrial homeostasis in human RGCs remain limited. We established a human retinal ganglion-like cell (RGLC) model of mitochondrial injury and evaluated neuroprotective efficacy of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from either undifferentiated BRN3B-H9 cells or differentiated lineage-tailored RGLCs. RGLC-derived sEVs (RGLC-sEVs) conferred robust neuroprotection, significantly enhancing neuronal survival, preserving neurite architecture, and mitigating mitochondrial stress following injury. These effects were reproducible in mixed retinal cultures and in an ocular hypertension mouse model of glaucoma, with neuroprotective benefits observed throughout the retinal landscape. Mechanistically, untargeted metabolomic profiling revealed extensive metabolic reprogramming involving oxidative phosphorylation, amino acid utilization, lipid metabolism, and redox regulatory pathways. In vitro tracking studies confirmed efficient uptake of sEVs by injured RGLCs, confirming effective vesicular cargo delivery under conditions that promote neuroprotection and metabolic recovery. Functional bioenergetic analysis further validated restoration of mitochondrial-glycolytic coupling and improved cellular energetic resilience. Collectively, our findings establish lineage-tailored RGLC-sEVs as a potent, cell-specific therapeutic candidate capable of reprogramming metabolic networks and restoring bioenergetic homeostasis in glaucomatous neurodegeneration, highlighting their translational potential for neuroprotective intervention in optic neuropathies.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42528139 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42528048 for the quote: \"Exosomes, nanoscale extracellular vesicles with innate biocompatibility... offer a biologically integrated platform to overcome these limitations.\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

However, their clinical translation is constrained by high molecular weight, poor solubility, low oral bioavailability, inefficient membrane permeability, nonspecific biodistribution, off-target degradation, and the concentration-dependent 'hook effect.' Exosomes, nanoscale extracellular vesicles with innate biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, prolonged circulation, and the ability to cross barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, offer a biologically integrated platform to overcome these limitations. This review traces the evolution of PROTAC technology, delineates the challenges of conventional delivery, and evaluates the rationale for exosomal encapsulation, including cargo protection, intracellular trafficking, endosomal escape, and release kinetics. We examine natural and engineered exosomes spanning source selection, active loading strategies, and surface functionalization for tissue-specific homing and synthesize therapeutic applications across viral infections, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory diseases. Proof-of-concept studies, such as camel milk-derived exosomes delivering the BRD4-targeting PROTAC ARV-825, demonstrate enhanced permeability, lower IC50 values, and improved oral bioavailability. Finally, we discuss key hurdles to clinical translation: scalable production, purification, and standardization, and outline future directions for exosome-mediated targeted protein degradation.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42528048 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42553702 for the quote: \"These findings demonstrate sEV-derived miRNA signatures vary across dementia sub-types and suggest potential roles of sEV cargoes in both disease diagnostics and identifying drivers of ND.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Recently, therapeutic development in the dementia field has accelerated, with the introduction of monoclonal antibody therapeutics such as Lecanemab and Donanemab. However, AD and FTD patients are still either diagnosed too late to benefit from available therapies or are misdiagnosed due to the clinical overlap between dementia subgroups making therapeutic intervention challenging. This highlights a real need to improve early diagnostic tools of neurodegenerative disease (ND) biomarkers. A potential source of such biomarkers come from small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), groups of cell-derived, lipid-bound assemblies with the capability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and known to carry pathogenic proteins associated with AD and FTD. A known cargo of sEVs is microRNA (miRNA), regulatory molecules that post-transcriptionally silence gene expression including transcripts of autophagic systems, processes which dysfunction in dementia-causing diseases leading to toxic aggregate build-up, causing neurodegeneration. The targeting of functional machineries in macroautophagy (MA) and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) by different miRNA may vary between AD and FTD mutations, leading to potential biomarkers of disease being highlighted. Through isolating sEVs from the frontal cortex of post-mortem brain tissue of AD, FTD-MAPT, FTD-C9orf72, FTD-GRN and no-disease control patients (Manchester Brain Bank), miRNA cargoes were analysed and compared using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Seven autophagy-associated miRNA candidates (MA: miR-124-3p, miR-30a-5p, miR-128-3p; and CMA: miR-224-5p, miR-373-5p, miR-106a-3p and miR-26b-5p) were tested to identify dementia sub-group variations, used alongside small RNA-sequencing to explore broader miRNA variation within sEV populations. Of the miRNA tested miR-224-5p (P = 1.76 \u00d7 10-5) and miR-106a-3p (P = 0.033) showed significant group differences, and further significant pairwise comparison differences [miR-224-5p: AD fold change (FC) = 4.29, MAPT FC = 7.62; miR-106a-5p: AD FC = 5.59] when compared with no disease controls and other dementia subgroups, potentially showing initial diagnostic and differentiating potential. Small RNA-sequencing results revealed 8 AD, 2 FTD-GRN, 52 FTD-MAPT and 12 FTD-C9orf72 differentially expressed sEV-miRNAs when compared with no disease controls. Further direct comparisons between AD versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, and even FTD mutation versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, identified additional miRNA with differentiating capabilities. These findings demonstrate sEV-derived miRNA signatures vary across dementia sub-types and suggest potential roles of sEV cargoes in both disease diagnostics and identifying drivers of ND, such as autophagic impairments and signalling pathways.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42553702 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41516158 for the quote: \"Therefore, by using a zebrafish MN phenotype as a primary screening platform, we identified a mutated short peptide M039 having the most pronounced positive effect on improving neurite growth...\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Drugs screened from the zebrafish platform have advanced into clinical trials, underscoring their translational potential. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive motor neurons (MN) degenerative disease with few approved drugs. Previously, supplementation with exogenous recombinant phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (Pgk1) was found to improve MN growth through its interaction with receptor Eno2. To bypass the high complexity and cost of full-length Pgk1 production, a short segment within Pgk1 (M08) was predicted as the key motif interacting with Eno2, and a zebrafish phenotypic screening platform was established to find the most neurotrophic compound(s) among M08 and its mutants. We first found that M08-injected zebrafish embryos significantly increased branched caudal primary MNs (CaPMNs). However, compared to M08 (59.20 \u00b1 1.80%), M039, among 17 mutants further screened, showed even more improvement of branched CaPMNs, up to 74.54 \u00b1 3.73%. Next, when we administered the M039 peptide to C9ORF72-knockdown ALS-like zebrafish embryos, it improved axonal growth and swimming ability. Then, we employed a cellular model as a secondary screen, and M039 exhibited improved neurite outgrowth of MN (NOMN) and reduced p-Cofilin in NSC34 neural cells grown in ALS-like condition. Therefore, by using a zebrafish MN phenotype as a primary screening platform, we identified a mutated short peptide M039 having the most pronounced positive effect on improving neurite growth among all 17 mutants in comparison to parental M08, demonstrating the feasibility of zebrafish screening as a cost-effective strategy for finding promising neuroprotective short peptides that serve as neurotherapeutic potentials.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41516158 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered

However, these models come with inherent challenges due to line-to-line and clonal variability. To combat this issue, the iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI) has generated an iPSC repository using a single clonal reference line, KOLF2.1J, into which disease-causing mutations and revertants are introduced via gene editing. Here we describe the generation and validation of lines carrying the most common causative mutation for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene, for the iNDI collection of neurodegenerative iPSC models. We demonstrate that these C9orf72 knock-in lines differentiate efficiently into neurons and display characteristic C9orf72-associated pathologies, including reduced C9orf72 levels and the presence of dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) and RNA foci, which increase in abundance over time in culture. These pathologies are not present in revertant cells lacking the repeat expansion. These repeat expansion and revertant cell lines are now available to academic and for-profit institutions through the JAX iPS cell repository and will help to facilitate and standardise iPSC-based ALS/FTD research.",

This study demonstrates that resveratrol (RSV), a natural polyphenol, alleviates DSS-induced colitis-associated anxiety and depression by reprogramming the microbiota\u2500metabolite-barrier network. RSV (100 mg/kg/day) ameliorated DSS-associated anxiety-like behaviors in open field tests (peripheral zone time \u219312.6%, P< 0.0001) and depression-like phenotypes (TST immobility \u219331.0%, P = 0.0004). It restored colonic barrier integrity via ZO-1 mRNA upregulation (\u219180.4%, P < 0.0001) and PAS score recovery (\u219129.6%, P < 0.0001), while reducing systemic inflammation (serum LPS \u219331.9%, TNF-\u03b1 \u219329.9%; P < 0.0001) vs. DSS. Crucially, RSV attenuated neuroinflammation by enhancing brain ZO-1 protein expression (\u2191146.1%, P = 0.0016), suppressing TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB signaling (TLR4 mRNA \u219368.8%, MyD88 protein \u219348.8%; P < 0.05), and promoting M2 microglial polarization (CD206 protein \u2191171.9%, P = 0.0003) vs. DSS. Multi-omics integration revealed RSV\u2019s dual regulatory mechanism: \u2460 Suppression of the pro-inflammatory Turicibacter4-guanidinobutanoic acid axis (\u219342% and \u219337%, respectively; P < 0.01), disrupting LPS\u2500TLR4\u2500MyD88 cascades; \u2461 Enrichment of barrier-protective Muribaculum (\u2191419%) and Dubosiella (\u2191208%), driving polyamine synthesis (spermidine \u219192%, spermine \u219138%) vs. DSS to reinforce gut-brain barriers. Spearman correlations confirmed Turicibacter-4-guanidinobutanoic acid-LPS-MyD88 interactions(r = 0.658-0.865) and Dubosiella-spermine-ZO-1 associations (r = 0.539-0.725). Conclusions: These findings establish RSV as a microbiota-metabolite modulator that redirects arginine metabolism from a pro-inflammatory bypass to polyamine-mediated barrier repair, offering novel therapeutic strategies for IBD-related neuropsychiatric complications. The integrated \"microbe-metabolite-neuroimmune\" axis provides mechanistic insights into gut-brain crosstalk, emphasizing dual-barrier restoration as a critical intervention node.",

Current treatments are only symptomatic and do not address the underlying pathogenic genetic mechanisms. The development of the CRISPR/Cas genome editing technologies, has increased possibilities for targeted repair of pathological mutations. CRISPR/Cas9, Cas12, and Cas13 systems enable targeted editing and transcriptome modulation in various preclinical models. CRISPR/Cas9 disruption of mutant APP, Tau, and LRRK2 genes, reducing toxic protein aggregration in AD models has restored normal genetic function. While correction of CAG nucleotide repeats in HD, and reduction of alpha-synuclein expression in PD. RNA targeting systems like Cas13 offers additional therapeutics potential by selectively degrading disease assciated transcript without altering genomic DNA. Advancements in engineered Cas variants with enhanced specificity, such as SpCas9-HF1, base editors and prime editors, with innovative delivery strategies including adeno-associated virus (AAVs) and nanoparticle-based systems, have improved genome editing. However, challenges remain, including off-target effects, mosaicism, and delivery across the BBB, and long-term safety. Ethical consideration focuses on somatic versus germline editing, equitable access, and regulatory oversight. While somatic editing shows acceptance in treating neurological disorders. Germline interventions face strict regulations due to potential multigeneration impacts. Collectively, these technologies are the vanguard of precision molecular medicine, advancing from symptom management towards potentially curative gene therapies for neurological disorders.",
        "41148458": "ID: 41148458\nTitle: Molecular crosstalk between miRNAs and lncRNAs in neurodegenerative disease pathways.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), are characterized by progressive neuronal degeneration and dysfunction. Of recent interest, a series of studies have been targeting the role of non-coding RNAs, particularly miRNAs and lncRNAs, in regulating gene expression and influencing cellular pathways that may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of these diseases. miRNAs regulate many biological processes by degrading or repressing the translation of target mRNAs, whereas lncRNAs act as scaffolds, sponges, and guides to control gene expression and cellular activities. Both miRNAs and lncRNAs participate in neurodegenerative mechanisms such as protein aggregation, inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. While targeting miRNAs and lncRNAs holds promise for potential therapeutic benefits, problems persist with their efficient delivery, specificity, and off-target effects. New techniques like viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles, and CRISPR-based gene editing will further enhance the development of therapies based on miRNA and lncRNA. Moreover, their interaction with regulatory networks may present new avenues toward understanding disease mechanisms and guiding therapeutic design. This review covers the role of miRNAs and lncRNAs in neurodegenerative disorders, their therapeutic potential, challenges, and future directions in ncRNA-based treatment approaches.",
        "41177462": "ID: 41177462\nTitle: Nasal-to-brain siRNA delivery based on trace amine associated receptor for improving cognitive function.\nAbstract: Gene-based therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders face substantial challenges in overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to effectively target brain tissues. The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway. The nanoparticles then escaped lysosomes, releasing siRNA into the cytoplasm, leading to gene downregulation and therapeutic benefits. Our results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain. Treatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, S-GEVs@siRNA nanoparticles rapidly reached the olfactory bulb through TAAR-mediated endocytosis, entered hippocampal neurons, downregulated Alox12B expression, exerted neuroprotective effects, and alleviated RBI-induced cognitive dysfunction. The designed nasal-to-brain delivery system holds great promise for treating various CNS diseases.",

Despite decades of research, effective treatments that halt or reverse these conditions remain elusive. Aging is the most significant risk factor in the development of these diseases, intertwining with molecular processes like DNA damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and protein aggregation. Recent advances in gene-editing technologies, particularly CRISPR-Cas9, are beginning to shift the therapeutic landscape. This revolutionary tool allows for precise correction of genetic mutations associated with neurodegeneration, offering the potential for disease modification rather than symptom management alone. In this review, we explore how CRISPR-Cas9 is being leveraged to target key genes implicated in various neurodegenerative conditions and how it may overcome barriers posed by aging biology. We also examine the delivery systems and safety challenges that must be addressed before clinical application. With continued progress, CRISPR-Cas9 could mark a turning point in our ability to treat or even prevent age-related neurological decline.",

The features of the disease, from molecular to functional levels, can be recapitulated by neural organoids derived from patient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). These features are not fully reproduced by other culture systems or in vivo models. Neural organoids have been applied to model dementia including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia, and they have recapitulated aspects of their complex pathophysiology, including neuronal network dysfunction and accumulation of pathogenic proteins. Although research using neural organoids still\u00a0faces challenges such as heterogeneity and the absence of non-neural lineage cells, these limitations are\u00a0being\u00a0progressively\u00a0addressed.

        "41231952": "ID: 41231952\nTitle: MARK2 regulates C9orf72 repeat-associated non-AUG translation.\nAbstract: Protein homeostasis is exquisitely regulated through processes involving protein synthesis essential for cellular health and disease prevention. Repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation at expanded GGGGCC repeats in the C9orf72 gene produces dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins that are implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (C9-ALS/FTD). However, the mechanisms promoting this noncanonical translation remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2) as a key eIF2\u03b1 kinase that enhances RAN translation under proteotoxic stress. We show that MARK2-eIF2\u03b1 signaling, activated by misfolded proteins including DPRs and TDP-43, is upregulated in C9-ALS patient tissues. Loss of MARK2 significantly suppresses RAN translation in reporter cells, patient-derived neurons, and a mouse model and confers neuroprotection under proteotoxic conditions. These findings position MARK2 as a critical stress-sensing cytosolic regulator that promotes repeat-associated noncanonical translation and associated toxicity.",
        "41241103": "ID: 41241103\nTitle: Selective peptide-guided transcytosis enhances extracellular vesicle-mediated siRNA delivery across the blood-brain barrier.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have clinically emerged as promising biocompatible vesicles for delivering therapeutic siRNAs to the central nervous system. Among targeting strategies, the rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) peptide is the most commonly used modification on the EV surface to enable efficient systemic delivery of EVs. Although RVG is widely believed to facilitate blood-brain barrier (BBB) through receptor interactions, the underlying mechanism remains indirect and equivocal. Similarly, cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) modifications have been used to enhance BBB transport of various vehicles, such as CPP.16, which improves the brain delivery efficiency of adeno-associated virus 9 capsids. However, whether CPP.16 retains its delivery efficacy when applied to EVs remains unclear, raising concerns about carrier-specific limitations. In this study, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the transcytosis and delivery efficiency of RVG- and CPP.16-modified small EVs (sEVs) loaded with siRNAs. Using an in vitro BBB model, we found that these modifications do not alter the internalization of siRNAs by endothelial cells. Instead, these modifications appear to divert sEVs and siRNAs into transcytotic pathways, enabling their release into abluminal cells and subsequent target gene silencing. Moreover, RVG-sEVs primarily interact with the receptor and are internalized via clathrin-mediated endocytosis, leading to more efficient BBB penetration compared with CPP.16-sEVs. Consistently, in vivo studies demonstrate that RVG-sEVs deliver siRNAs more efficiently to both neurons and astrocytes compared with unmodified or CPP.16-sEVs. Our findings support the clinical potential of BBB-targeting peptides and provide critical insights for the rational selection of guiding peptides in central nervous system drug delivery.",

Here, we engineered an intranasal thermosensitive hydrogel (EVs@IN) encapsulating Chlorella vulgaris-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) for sustained nose-to-brain delivery. EVs@IN significantly enhanced nasal mucosal retention and facilitated targeted transport of EVs to the hippocampus via olfactory pathways, while minimizing pulmonary exposure and clearance. In mouse models of depression (LPS-induced and CUMS), intranasal EVs@IN elicited rapid and potent alleviation of depressive- and anxiety-like behaviours. Mechanistically, EVs modulated astrocyte phenotypic transformation, reducing the release of neurotoxic complement C3 and suppressing neuroinflammation. Concurrently, they activated the Nrf2-Pgc-1\u03b1 pathway, enhanced antioxidant defences (elevated SOD and GSH), mitigated oxidative stress and restored synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Furthermore, we demonstrated the capacity of EVs to serve as efficient drug carriers for brain delivery. EVs@IN exhibited excellent long-term biocompatibility in vivo. Our findings establish plant-derived EVs within a sustained-release intranasal platform as a promising, scalable and BBB-bypassing strategy for the rapid treatment of depression and potentially other neuropsychiatric disorders.",

        "41272785": "ID: 41272785\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles ameliorate radiation-caused dry mouth via modulating immune balance and cell metabolism.\nAbstract: Radiation therapy of head and neck cancers frequently leads to irreversible dry mouth that severely compromises the quality of life and is difficult to remedy. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could ameliorate this adverse effect, but their application is limited by high variations of conventional tissue-derived MSCs and many practical challenges of cell therapies. This study investigated the potential of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from standardized MSCs derived from iPS cells (iMSCs) in ameliorating radiation-caused dry mouth. In a mouse model, locally injected young but not aging iMSC-EVs after radiation preserved saliva secretion and acinar structures. Mechanistically, young iMSC-EVs reversed the acute inhibition of physiological inflammation and chronic increase of pathogenic inflammation in radiated salivary glands, which is related to the preservation of tissue-resident macrophages and polarization of infiltrated macrophages. At both acute and chronic phase after radiation, iMSC-EVs enhanced mitochondria-related cell metabolism pathways such as Oxidative Phosphorylation that modulate cell survival and macrophage polarization. OXPHOS-promoting protein eIF5A and spermidine required for functional eIF5A hypusination are much richer in effective young iMSC-EVs compared with inert aging EVs. Moreover, young iMSC-EV treatment increased hypusinated eIF5A in radiated salivary glands, especially in macrophages. These findings together indicated that iMSC-EVs are a promising cell-free product to restore salivary gland function impaired by radiation, which is mediated by maintaining immune balance and mitochondria-related cell metabolism at both acute and chronic phases.",

This paper explores five distinct mechanisms of stem cell therapy, focusing on their applications and therapeutic potential. Neural stem cells (NSCs) combined with pharmacological agents, such as FTY720, enhance remyelination and neural repair in multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injuries (SCI). Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a personalized approach by enabling the generation of patient-specific NSCs for treating conditions like Parkinson's Disease (PD). Gene-editing technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, expand the scope of NSC applications by facilitating precise interventions for genetic disorders like SMARD1. Neurotrophic factors derived from NSCs present a cell-free alternative to promote neuronal survival and repair in diseases such as Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Additionally, NSC-derived extracellular vesicle therapies, such as intranasal delivery methods for AD treatment, offer non-invasive approaches to reduce neuroinflammation and enhance cognitive recovery. While these mechanisms demonstrate remarkable therapeutic potential, challenges such as cost, scalability, and safety remain. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of these mechanisms, highlighting their contributions to the future of regenerative medicine and personalized therapeutic strategies.",

Moreover, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) severely restricts drug penetration into the injured brain, limiting the translation of promising neuroprotective agents into clinical success. Intranasal (IN) delivery has emerged as a compelling alternative route that bypasses the BBB and enables rapid access to the central nervous system through olfactory, trigeminal, and perivascular pathways. This narrative review highlights recent advances in preclinical research on IN therapeutics for ischemic stroke, ranging from small molecules and biologics to nucleic acids and cell-based therapies. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of nanotechnology, including extracellular vesicles, liposomes, and inorganic nanoparticles, which enhance drug stability, targeting, and bioavailability. Studies demonstrate that IN delivery of growth factors, cytokines, and engineered stem cells can promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis, white matter repair, and functional recovery, while nanocarriers further expand the therapeutic potential. Overall, intranasal delivery represents a promising and non-invasive strategy to overcome the limitations of conventional stroke therapies, offering new avenues for neuroprotection and regeneration that warrant further investigation toward clinical translation.",

This study investigates the generalizability of normative odor ratings to a German-speaking sample by assessing 24 odors across eight dimensions-familiarity, frequency, pleasantness, irritability, context availability, discriminability, age of acquisition, and verbalizability-in 124 German-speaking participants (Mage\u00a0=\u00a022.36, SD\u00a0=\u00a03.24). Building on Moss et al.'s (2016) methodology with English-speaking participants, we examined the consistency of these dimensions, the influence of odor familiarity, and the role of odor-specific properties versus individual differences. Results revealed significant intercorrelations among the dimensions, except for age of acquisition, which negatively correlated with others, confirming the importance of early exposure in olfactory perceptual saliency and linguistic accessibility. For high-familiar odors, strong correlations with Moss et al.'s ratings were found for familiarity (r\u00a0=\u00a00.805), frequency (r\u00a0=\u00a00.799), pleasantness (r\u00a0=\u00a00.792), context availability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.794), discriminability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.967), and verbalizability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.844), and age of acquisition (r\u00a0=\u00a00.750), but not for irritability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.495). Low-familiar odors showed only a moderate correlation for verbalizability (r\u00a0=\u00a00.530), highlighting the role of exposure in cross-cultural consistency. Variance across odors significantly exceeded variance across participants, indicating reliable differentiation by odor properties. These findings suggest that normative odor ratings show strong cross-sample consistency across the two samples, particularly for familiar odors. This study supports the utility of normative ratings in olfactory research while highlighting the role of familiarity and context in cross-cultural perception.",

A potent therapeutic strategy would be to find molecules that break this vicious circle leading to neuronal dysfunction and death. Targeting sigma-1 receptor (S1R) could meet this objective, as this chaperone protein modulates many cell survival mechanisms. So far, the impact of S1R activation in ALS has been studied using specific agonists and mostly on the SOD1 mutation that represents only 2% of patients. In the present study, the impact of two different S1R activators, the reference agonist PRE-084 and the positive modulator OZP002, was compared on two key ALS genes: TDP43 and C9orf72. The dissociation of S1R from Binding immunoglobulin Protein (BiP) was determined using ELISA. OZP002 toxicity was compared to PRE-084 on zebrafish larvae with increasing concentrations. The efficacy of OZP002 and PRE-084 was evaluated on the locomotor escape response of zebrafish expressing mutant TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. Their effects on NRF2 target gene expression were studied by qPCR. The beneficial effect was further examined on the locomotor performances of TDP43A315T mice using rotarod and beam walking tests. We also performed analysis on motor neuron loss and glial reactivity. OZP002 is a positive modulator of S1R, that increases the dissociation of the S1R-BiP complex induced by orthosteric agonists. S1R activation by both OZP002 and PRE-084 restored the locomotor response of ALS zebrafish expressing either TDP43 or one C9orf72 toxic dipeptide. The neuroprotection was due at least in part to the NRF2 cascade stimulation but not with a direct interaction. More importantly, OZP002 and PRE-084 prevented locomotor defects and degeneration of spinal motor neurons in TDP43A315T transgenic mice. Astroglial and microglial reactivities were also reduced by both activators. We here emphasize the therapeutic value of S1R activation in mitigating ALS pathology. Additionally, we show that the positive modulators pave the way for the development of new S1R-activating compounds for ALS treatment.",

Engineered exosomes-nanoscale extracellular vesicles of natural origin-have emerged as a promising platform for innovative AD therapy due to their excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and intrinsic ability to cross the BBB. This review provides a systematic overview of the synthetic and structural biological characteristics of exosomes, with a focus on their functionalisation through physical, chemical and genetic modifications. These approaches enable the targeted loading of therapeutic cargo and the conjugation of brain-targeting peptides, thereby facilitating precise delivery to specific brain regions and offering a multi-target therapeutic strategy for AD. We further examine the potential of engineered exosomes in modulating core AD pathological pathways, including amyloid-beta deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction, and highlight their utility as an integrated delivery system for the co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents to achieve synergistic therapeutic effects. Finally, key challenges in clinical translation are addressed, such as scalable production, standardised drug loading protocols and comprehensive assessment of safety and immunogenicity. Unlike previous reviews that primarily focus on general engineering techniques, this article emphasises a rational design strategy tailored for multi-target synergistic therapy and presents a comprehensive roadmap from basic research to clinical application, thereby providing both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the development of next-generation AD treatments. KEY POINTS: A multidimensional approach combining physical, chemical, and genetic modifications equips exosomes with brain-targeted peptides, enhancing their capability for precise brain delivery in Alzheimer's disease (AD) Engineered exosomes are designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and provide stimuli-responsive release of therapeutic agents, enabling simultaneous clearance of amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and inhibition of neuroinflammation. The transition from preclinical success to early-phase human trials is underway, with intranasal administration emerging as a promising, non-invasive method for brain drug delivery. A well-defined plan for clinical translation includes scalable Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) production, rigorous safety assessments, and biomarker-guided clinical trial design to facilitate clinical application.",

Here we applied spatial transcriptomics to adult mouse motor nerve axons and cell bodies to enable subcellular mapping. Among transcripts found in mature axons, the most enriched biological process is protein translation, and localization of translation machinery was confirmed using multiplexed single-molecule spatial transcriptomics combined with immunofluorescence. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated mutations in the RNA-binding protein fused in sarcoma (FUS), which suppress local translation, disrupt the compartment-specific RNA signatures, including components of the translation machinery. In particular, eukaryotic initiation factor 5a (Eif5a), a translation factor involved in elongation and termination, is found to be locally impaired in mutant FUS axons with reduced levels of its active hypusinated form. Axon-specific treatment with polyamine spermidine restores Eif5a hypusination and ameliorates mutant FUS-dependent neuronal defects, including suppression of local protein synthesis. Finally, in vivo spermidine treatment reduces ALS-related toxicity in mutant FUS and TDP-43 Drosophila models, which may have implications for therapy development.",

However, traditional organoids still have three major limitations in research: the absence of specific cell types, the lack of blood-brain barrier structure, and insufficient reproducibility of experimental results. In recent years, researchers have gradually overcome these limitations by introducing innovative techniques such as advanced culture methods, microfluidic systems, bioprinting, organoid transplantation, and assembloid construction. This progress has facilitated the widespread application of organoids in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. This paper aims to systematically review the technological innovations of organoids in the study of neurodegenerative diseases. By summarizing classical organoid construction strategies and their limitations, it emphasizes the value of organoids in comprehensive applications within neurodegenerative disease research. In this review, we focus on five specific neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia. Research in these diseases demonstrates that organoids improve experimental accessibility and reduce development cycles in disease modeling, target discovery, and therapeutic strategy formation. Using customized equipment and gene editing techniques, these organoids can be tailored to specific needs, providing pathophysiologically relevant disease models and enhancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. Although organoid technology has demonstrated significant advantages in disease research, its potential for treating neurodegenerative diseases has not yet been fully explored, which may become an important direction for future research.",

Iron chelators such as deferoxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (DFP) have demonstrated therapeutic potential in mitigating disease progression in these conditions. However, systemic administration is hindered by poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, dose-limiting toxicity, and poor patient compliance due to frequent dosing regimens. In recent years, intranasal (IN) drug delivery has emerged as a promising strategy to bypass the BBB, providing a direct nose-to-brain delivery route via olfactory and trigeminal pathways while minimizing systemic exposure. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the current status of iron chelation therapy for CNS disorders with a focus on pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and translational potential of IN administration. While IN DFO has been extensively studied in preclinical models of Alzheimer's disease and stroke, recent developments have expanded the scope to other chelators such as DFP. We compare traditional systemic routes, including oral and intravenous, with intranasal administration, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations for CNS delivery. With ongoing advances in formulation and delivery technologies, IN iron chelators provide a promising alternative for the treatment of CNS disorders characterized by impaired iron homeostasis in the brain.",

The development of effective neuroprotective therapies is severely hampered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts drug delivery to the central nervous system. This study aimed to develop a novel brain-targeted nanodelivery system by functionalizing extracellular vesicles (EVs) with a rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG)-derived peptide to deliver echinatin (Echi), and to systematically evaluate its therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms in a mouse model of PD. We successfully engineered the nanotherapeutics, termed RVG-EVs@Echi, which efficiently crossed the BBB and selectively accumulated in DA neurons and microglia following systemic administration. In a chronic MPTP-induced mouse model of PD, treatment with RVG-EVs@Echi significantly ameliorated motor deficits and rescued tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons in the substantia nigra and striatum, with no detectable peripheral toxicity. Mechanistically, RVG-EVs@Echi exerted potent neuroprotective effects by upregulating insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) and activating the downstream PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling cascade, which mitigated oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis. Furthermore, integrated multi-omics analyses revealed that RVG-EVs@Echi treatment modulated metabolic profiles in the midbrain and gut, and partially restored MPTP-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis. This study demonstrates that RVG-EVs@Echi represents a safe, noninvasive, and effective nanotherapeutic platform for targeted brain delivery in PD. By activating the IGF-2/PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 neuroprotective pathway and modulating the gut-brain metabolic axis, this targeted delivery system presents a highly promising and translatable strategy for the treatment of PD and other neurodegenerative diseases.",

Drugs screened from the zebrafish platform have advanced into clinical trials, underscoring their translational potential. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive motor neurons (MN) degenerative disease with few approved drugs. Previously, supplementation with exogenous recombinant phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (Pgk1) was found to improve MN growth through its interaction with receptor Eno2. To bypass the high complexity and cost of full-length Pgk1 production, a short segment within Pgk1 (M08) was predicted as the key motif interacting with Eno2, and a zebrafish phenotypic screening platform was established to find the most neurotrophic compound(s) among M08 and its mutants. We first found that M08-injected zebrafish embryos significantly increased branched caudal primary MNs (CaPMNs). However, compared to M08 (59.20 \u00b1 1.80%), M039, among 17 mutants further screened, showed even more improvement of branched CaPMNs, up to 74.54 \u00b1 3.73%. Next, when we administered the M039 peptide to C9ORF72-knockdown ALS-like zebrafish embryos, it improved axonal growth and swimming ability. Then, we employed a cellular model as a secondary screen, and M039 exhibited improved neurite outgrowth of MN (NOMN) and reduced p-Cofilin in NSC34 neural cells grown in ALS-like condition. Therefore, by using a zebrafish MN phenotype as a primary screening platform, we identified a mutated short peptide M039 having the most pronounced positive effect on improving neurite growth among all 17 mutants in comparison to parental M08, demonstrating the feasibility of zebrafish screening as a cost-effective strategy for finding promising neuroprotective short peptides that serve as neurotherapeutic potentials.",

Intranasal drug delivery offers a promising, noninvasive route to bypass the BBB and directly target the brain through olfactory and trigeminal pathways. This review explores the pharmacology of antiretroviral drugs, the challenges they face in CNS delivery, and the advantages of intranasal administration for treating NeuroAIDS. We examine physicochemical properties influencing BBB penetration and the mechanisms of nose-to-brain transport, along with their benefits and challenges. The review further evaluates the use of polymeric and lipid-based nanocarrier systems that improve drug stability, nasal residence time, and neuronal transport. Key anatomical considerations for targeting the olfactory region and design parameters for specialized intranasal delivery devices are also discussed. Despite anatomical and physiological challenges, advancements in nanotechnology and device engineering are enhancing CNS drug delivery efficiency. Combining antiretroviral-loaded nanocarriers with targeted nasal delivery devices represents a compelling strategy to improve therapeutic outcomes for HAND. This integrative approach holds significant potential to overcome CNS viral reservoirs, reduce neurocognitive impairment, and advance the eradication of NeuroAIDS. Many people with HIV continue to experience memory and thinking problems, known as HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), even when taking modern treatments. This happens because many antiretroviral drugs cannot cross the blood \u2013 brain barrier and HIV is able to hide in the brain. Delivering drugs through the nose is a promising way to bypass this barrier and send medicine directly to the brain through natural nerve pathways. This review looks at how the properties of antiretroviral drugs affect brain delivery, the mechanisms by which drugs can move from the nose to the brain, and the advantages and challenges of this route. It also examines the use of nanocarriers, such as lipid- and polymer-based systems, which can improve drug stability, keep drugs in the nasal cavity longer, and enhance their transport to brain cells. The review then discusses anatomical features important for targeting the olfactory region and highlights device designs that improve nasal delivery. Although challenges remain, recent progress in nanotechnology and device engineering shows strong potential to increase the effectiveness of brain drug delivery. Combining advanced nanocarriers with specialized nasal devices may improve treatment for HAND by better reaching hidden HIV in the brain and reducing long-term cognitive problems.",
        "41624110": "ID: 41624110\nTitle: Involvement of Taiman in juvenile hormone signaling controlling sexual maturation in a male moth.\nAbstract: In insects, juvenile hormone (JH) is essential for orchestrating reproductive events. For example, in the male moth Agrotis ipsilon, the behavioral response to female sex pheromone is linked to neuronal sensitivity in the primary olfactory centers (antennal lobes, ALs), and the maturation of accessory sex glands (ASGs) are known to be age- and JH-dependent. The molecular basis of this regulatory action of JH is not fully deciphered, and we show here that the heterodimerizing partner of Methoprene-tolerant called Taiman (Tai) is essential for the sexual maturation of male A. ipsilon. Tai expression in ALs and ASGs is elevated from the third day of adult life and is responsible for the acquisition of behavioral responsiveness to the sex pheromone and ASG maturation. Tai-deficient old males exhibited altered sexual behavior and delayed ASG maturation. Moreover, the expression levels of Tai and Kr\u00fcppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1), an early JH-induced transcription factor, were reduced in ALs and ASGs of JH-deprived and Tai-deficient old males, respectively. Exogenous JH injection into young males resulted in precocious sexual maturation and this JH induction was suppressed by Tai silencing. Our results demonstrate that Tai is an actor of the JH signaling pathway that operates in ALs and ASGs to promote pheromone information processing and consequently the display of sexual behavior in synchrony with ASG maturation, ultimately optimizing male reproductive success. Thus, this study provides additional insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying hormonal regulation of sexual maturation in insects.",

Mutations in over forty different proteins have been linked to ALS, raising debate over whether ALS is a single disease or multiple disorders with similar symptoms. Mutations in Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) are found in only 2-3% of ALS cases, yet misfolded SOD1 appears in both sporadic (sALS) and familial (fALS) patients. Furthermore, mutations in TDP-43 or FUS increase levels of misfolded SOD1 on extracellular vesicles (EVs). Small EVs isolated from ALS patient samples have been shown to cause death of wild-type motor neurons and myotubes, supporting the theory that EVs play a role in spreading disease. We hypothesize that the previously identified toxic trimeric SOD1 spreads via EVs in ALS and influences the distribution of other ALS-related proteins, suggesting a common mechanism. To test this, we isolate EVs from motor neuron-like cells expressing mutations that stabilize trimers. We then perform a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a CD9 capture antibody to measure whether misfolded SOD1 and 17 other ALS-related proteins increase or decrease on EVs with trimer stabilization. We identify which EV release pathway is affected by trimeric SOD1 using endocytosis and exocytosis inhibitors and analyze altered protein interaction pathways through co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry proteomics. Our results show that VAPB, VCP, and Stathmin-2 increase on EVs when trimers are stabilized. The common pathway linking these ALS-associated proteins and SOD1 appears to involve multiple mechanisms, including the Caveolae endocytosis pathway, pointing to a novel hybrid EV release pathway in ALS. Overall, our findings show that trimeric SOD1 influences EV cargo and spread in ALS.",

A central problem in these conditions is chronic neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted cellular homeostasis. Polyamines, such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine-small molecules-play vital roles in maintaining neuronal function, regulating autophagy, and protecting against cellular stress. Notably, spermidine-induced autophagy has emerged as a key mechanism linking polyamine metabolism to neuronal longevity and cognitive resilience. Recent studies highlight that probiotics and specific gut microbes can effectively modulate host polyamine production through the gut-brain axis, influencing neural health. This microbial modulation has been shown to restore polyamine balance, enhance antioxidant defenses, and reduce neuroinflammatory responses. Targeting microbiota-driven polyamine synthesis is emerging as a promising, non-invasive approach for neuroprotection. This review consolidates the current understanding of polyamine biology and microbial influences, highlighting their therapeutic potential.

Chitosan-based nanoparticles (CZNPs) were designed for intranasal nose to brain delivery. Key formulation variables were screened using a two level fractional factorial design (FFD) and optimized via a Box Behnken design (BBD). Nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation and characterized for particle size, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency. In vitro release, ex vivo nasal permeation (sheep mucosa), in vivo pharmacokinetics (rats), and nasal histopathology were evaluated. Optimized CZNPs exhibited a particle size of 164.8 nm, zeta potential of +45.3 mV, and 67.6 \u00b1 0.08% encapsulation efficiency. They showed biphasic sustained release over 24 h and significantly enhanced nasal permeation versus a drug suspension. In vivo, intranasal CZNPs achieved 6.2-fold higher brain targeting efficiency, 91% direct transport percentage, and a brain to plasma AUC ratio of 0.67. Early brain Cmax (106 /mL at 2 h) indicated olfactory/trigeminal transport. Relative plasma bioavailability was 91%, with no nasal epithelial or ciliary damage observed.

Beyond its established immunomodulatory actions, DMF is increasingly recognized as a small molecule capable of reshaping cellular redox homeostasis and mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles that integrate energy metabolism, calcium buffering, and apoptosis regulation, while also generating reactive oxygen species that function as signaling mediators. Given their central role in neuronal survival and function, mitochondrial integrity is a critical determinant of neuroprotection. The aim of this review is to discuss the mechanistic aspects by which DMF influences mitochondrial physiology in central nervous system (CNS) cells, based on evidence from experimental models and patient-derived samples. Data consistently show that DMF activates the Nrf2 pathway, leading to increased expression of antioxidant enzymes (e.g., NQO-1, HO-1) and induction of mitochondrial biogenesis markers (e.g., PGC-1\u03b1, NRF1, TFAM). In neurons and oligodendrocytes, DMF enhances respiratory function and limits apoptosis by modulating BCL-2 family proteins and suppressing cytochrome c release. Disease-relevant studies further demonstrate frataxin upregulation in Friedreich's ataxia and reduction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in C9orf72-related models. Conversely, in microglia, T cells, and vascular cells, DMF may impair mitochondrial respiration or increase apoptosis, particularly under inflammatory stress, suggesting a context-dependent effect. In conclusion, DMF exerts multifaceted and cell type-specific actions on mitochondria. Understanding these mechanisms may guide optimized therapeutic strategies and the identification of biomarkers for precision use in neurological disorders.",

Teriflunomide, a first-line immunomodulatory agent, faces limitations due to oral route of administration and systemic toxicity. To overcome these challenges, we developed a nose-to-brain delivery system comprising teriflunomide-loaded ginger-derived extracellular vesicles (G-EVs) embedded in an in situ nasal gel. G-EVs were isolated via serial centrifugation and double filtration and characterized for particle size (103.5\u2009\u00b1\u20091.09\u00a0nm) and zeta potential (-17.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.32\u00a0mV) confirming nanoscale uniformity. Teriflunomide was loaded into G-EVs with an entrapment efficiency of 63.24\u2009\u00b1\u20090.75%. In vitro release studies revealed a biphasic drug release profile; an initial burst release of 3% in 24\u00a0h followed by sustained release over 21\u00a0days. The cytotoxicity of the G-EVs, loaded G-EVs and the drug was found to be non-toxic at lower concentrations (<\u20090.5\u00a0mg/ml). It was observed that drug loading enhanced cellular internalization of the G-EVs. Pluronic F127 and chitosan was used to formulate a thermoresponsive and mucoadhesive nasal gel. Rheological analysis demonstrated a sol-gel transition at 34.13\u2009\u00b1\u20090.76\u00a0\u00b0C, with high G' values indicating more elasticity and stiffness, behaving more like a solid.

Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play significant roles in neurodevelopment, neuronal homeostasis, and disease progression; however, their involvement in shared pathogenic pathways and clinical applications remains inadequately defined. This review consolidates recent experimental, transcriptomic, bioinformatic, and emerging clinical findings regarding the role of lncRNAs in NDDs. We examine how lncRNAs modulate common disease mechanisms, including protein misfolding and aggregation, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, ferroptosis, synaptic failure, and aging-related neurodegenerative processes. These regulatory functions occur through various mechanisms, including epigenetic modifications, transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional processes, and RNA-protein interactions, as well as novel mechanisms such as liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), peptide coding, and exosome-mediated intercellular communication.\u00a0Current evidence supports the potential of lncRNAs as minimally invasive liquid biopsy biomarkers, detectable in blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and extracellular vesicles. Additionally, lncRNAs may serve as therapeutic targets through antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), gene editing, and engineered delivery platforms.

Through comprehensive fecal metabolomics sequencing, our lab previously reported the depletion of beneficial metabolites including spermidine in the preclinical GWI mouse model. Spermidine is an endogenously synthesized polyamine known for its anti-inflammatory and mucosal barrier protective effects in various pathological diseases. Given its established role in mitigating intestinal inflammation and maintaining homeostasis, this study investigated the therapeutic potential of spermidine in a persistent (22\u00a0weeks) GWI mouse model, with a specific focus on gut-brain axis regulation. Our results demonstrated that spermidine effectively restored both microbial richness and diversity by selectively enriching beneficial bacterial taxa and suppressing growth of opportunistic pathogens, which are otherwise dysregulated following exposure to GW chemicals. Spermidine treatment also improved gut epithelial barrier integrity and reduced epithelial release of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) into systemic circulation. Recent studies on GWI have implicated a critical role of gut-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), particularly HMGB1 in mediating neuroinflammation. Our findings indicate that systemic levels of HMGB1 critically influence the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and subsequent microglial activation. Mechanistically, spermidine activated intestinal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling, which played a role in limiting intestinal HMGB1 release and suppressing downstream receptor for advanced glycation end-product (RAGE)-mediated microglial activation in the brain. In vitro results indicate spermidine promoted AhR/Nrf2 nuclear translocation which reduced LPS-induced HMGB1 release from primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), effects abrogated by AhR inhibition. Additionally, we observed that HMGB1 directly induces microglial activation via RAGE receptors in immortalized microglial (IMG) cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that spermidine decreases neuroinflammation by modulating gut-brain axis pathophysiology associated with GWI. Together, this study demonstrates the therapeutic role of spermidine in ameliorating systemic and neurological disturbances in GWI.",

Dysregulation of RNA metabolism and splicing has emerged as a central mechanism in ALS pathogenesis. TARDBP (TAR DNA-binding protein), FET family proteins (FUS, EWSR1, TAF15), SOD1 (Superoxide Dismutase 1), and C9orf72 (Chromosome 9 Open Reading Frame 72) are key genes associated with ALS that regulate RNA processing, alternative splicing, and nuclear-cytoplasmic transport. Mutations or mislocalization of these proteins result in nuclear loss-of-function and cytoplasmic gain-of-function toxicity, promoting protein aggregation, sequestering spliceosomal components, and impairing spliceosome assembly. This leads to the aberrant inclusion of cryptic exons in essential neuronal genes, such as STMN2 (Stathmin 2) and UNC13A (Unc-13 Homolog A), resulting in the production of truncated proteins, defective axonal maintenance, and impaired synaptic function. TDP-43 pathology, a hallmark of ALS, disrupts splicing and RNA transport, while C9orf72 repeat expansions and FET protein mutations exacerbate cytoplasmic aggregation and stress granule dynamics. Mutant SOD1 contributes via mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and disrupted axonal transport. Therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms are advancing rapidly. Gene replacement therapy, which restores STMN2 expression, and antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting mutant transcripts show promise in preclinical and early clinical studies. Complementary approaches, including the inhibition of stress kinases and the activation of autophagy, reduce cytoplasmic protein aggregation and support neuronal homeostasis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of RNA splicing regulation, spliceosomal dysfunction, and cryptic exon incorporation in ALS. Understanding the interplay among splicing defects, RNA-binding protein pathology, and neuronal degeneration is critical for developing next-generation multimodal therapies to restore RNA processing, reduce toxic protein accumulation, and promote motor neuron survival.",

However, treating these disorders with conventional strategies is a major challenge. The approval of gene targeted therapy for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) has laid the foundation for developing highly personalized therapies for other neurodegenerative disorders. As intensive research and efforts to advance gene targeted therapies continue, this review provides an overview of viral and non-viral vectors and delivery methods, as well as treatment strategies, including gene addition, replacement, editing, silencing, and splice modulation. Gene targeted approaches and clinical trials for SMA and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have demonstrated success, and additional studies are in progress. The design of efficient clinical trials which facilitate successful translation into clinical practice is of critical importance. Key considerations include the selection of appropriate disease models, understanding the natural history of the disease, and establishing well-defined outcome measures to assess prognosis of the disease and therapeutic efficacy. Finally, the precision of CRISPR-based gene editing offers the potential for one-time corrective therapies for monogenic disorders like SMA and SOD1-ALS.",

Therapeutic reprogramming of microglial activation from a pro-inflammatory (M1-like) to a reparative (M2-like) phenotype represents a promising strategy; however, the lack of cell-specific targeting within an injured brain has limited clinical translation. Here, we developed a targeted gene-editing nanotherapy to modulate post-traumatic innate immune responses. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encapsulating CRISPR-Cas12a components were engineered to target mitogen-activated protein kinase-9 (MAPK9), a key regulator of pro-inflammatory signaling, and were conjugated with an Iba-1 antibody (Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs) to enable selective targeting of microglia. In vitro, MAPK9 editing in primary macrophages inhibited M1 polarization and promoted an M2-like phenotype, leading to reduced production of proinflammatory cytokines. In a TBI mouse model, intranasal administration of Iba-1-CRISPR-LNPs achieved efficient delivery to the injured brain, with selective localization in Iba-1+ microglia. MAPK9 CRISPR targeting significantly attenuated microglial activation, reduced central and peripheral inflammatory responses, and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Importantly, this approach demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with no detectable toxicity across major organs. Collectively, these findings establish a non-viral, intranasal CRISPR-based strategy for cell-specific modulation of neuroinflammation following TBI. Targeted genome editing of MAPK9 effectively reprograms microglial activation and attenuates acute inflammatory responses, highlighting its potential as a promising and translationally relevant therapeutic platform for TBI and related neuroinflammatory disorders.",

Without a healthy MT system, motor neurons (MN) function at sub-optimal levels and die. In addition, other effects of ALS, like axon/dendrite degeneration, may occur from a pathophysiological cascade spurred by MT dysfunction. A phenotypic screen identified Dipyridamole (DPM), an FDA-approved and safe drug, as having extraordinary effects on ALS patient induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived MNs. The drug prevented MT fragmentation, loss of MT content, impaired MT bioenergetics, axon/dendrite degeneration, and premature MN death, extending neuronal survival by more than fivefold. Importantly, its efficacy extended across iPSC-derived neurons representing two different familial forms of ALS (C9orf72, TDP43) and Alzheimer's disease (PSEN1), implying broad neuroprotection across ALS forms and other neurodegenerative diseases. DPM increased MT respiration and pyruvate uptake in a mechanism requiring the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier (MPC), mechanistically explaining its biological activities. Thus, DPM is a promising drug to repurpose or refine for treating neurodegenerative diseases or other diseases that would benefit by augmenting pyruvate uptake into MT.",

Animal models and immortalized cell lines incompletely recapitulate human pathology and genetic heterogeneity, limiting drug discovery. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a patient\u2011specific platform for disease modelling, drug screening and studying individual responses. Translational research (TR) uses iPSC models to identify candidate therapies that are subsequently tested in clinical trials, while reverse translational research (rTR) feeds clinical observations back to the bench by analyzing iPSCs derived from trial participants and integrating molecular data with patient phenotypes. This review summarizes recent advances in iPSC\u2011based TR and rTR for ALS and extends the discussion to other neurodegenerative diseases. Key clinical trials launched from iPSC screens-ropinirole, retigabine and bosutinib-are reviewed alongside emerging rTR efforts that use patient\u2011derived iPSCs to identify biomarkers and therapeutic mechanisms. We also survey iPSC models for AD, PD and HD, highlighting applications of three\u2011dimensional (3D) brain organoids and gene\u2011editing technologies.

The mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the primary sources of glial activation and dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson's disease (PD). The key biochemical elements of the pathogenesis of PD include impaired oxidative phosphorylation, elevated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and impaired mitophagy. This review is a synthesis and stringent evaluation of recent experimental, clinical and genetic studies relating mitochondrial dysfunction and Parkinson's disease (PD). We examined information on bioenergetics, mitochondrial dynamics, calcium homeostasis, and interactions between neurons and glia. The molecular and therapeutic importance of therapies, such as mitophagy modulators, bioenergetic enhancers, and mitochondrial antioxidants, was investigated. The absence of Complex I, excess ROS, mitochondrial DNA damage, and nonfunctioning fusionfission cycles leads to neurodegeneration. The glial metabolic abnormalities worsen the oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, weakening the support of the neurons. The effects of impaired mitophagy are the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria, and the effects of calcium overload disrupt energy metabolism. Neuroprotective effects of such substances as spermidine, urolithin A, resveratrol, \u03b1lipoic acid, MitoQ, SkQ1, or CoQ10 have been shown using preclinical research. Sacrifices such as exercising and proper dieting enable the mitochondria to perform better and become stronger. Mitochondrial dysfunction enhances the progression of PD through oxidative stress, bioenergetic breakdown, and inflammatory signalling. Attention to these related systems is an entire way to alter the direction of a disease. PD can be treated using an increase in mitochondrial quality control, redox regulation, and metabolic efficiency. Continued studies in the framework of precision medicine are required to validate the safety and effectiveness of mitochondrial-targeted medications.",

This experiment tested whether odorised straw could enhance straw engagement and improve welfare on a commercial farm. It involved 1\u00a0600 pigs, from 10\u00a0weeks of age to slaughter, housed in pens of approx. 10 littermates. Eighty pens were assigned to one of four treatments: Odorised straw provided in a rack with odour changing (1) weekly or (2) every weekday, or odourless straw (3) in a rack or (4) on the floor (empty rack). The remaining 80 pens served as controls (straw provided on the floor, no rack). Odorised treatments were essential oils (lavender, aniseed, ginger, thyme, or pine), and the odourless treatment was mineral oil. Clinical welfare scores (tail damage, ear damage, body soiling) were scored weekly, and behaviour was recorded (weeks 5, 7, and 9). Data collection included straw engagement duration, relative interaction with straw and pen inventory, play (locomotor, social, straw-related), and rubbing and rolling behaviour. Clinical welfare scores were not significantly affected by treatment. Tail damage and body soiling worsened over time (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Compared with odourless straw, odorised straw significantly prolonged straw engagement (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05) and significantly increased play and rubbing and rolling (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05). Relative straw and inventory interactions did not differ between treatments (P\u00a0>\u00a00.05). Increased straw engagement and play behaviour suggest that odorised straw is a promising enrichment strategy for enhancing pig welfare in commercial production systems.",

A 32 full factorial design was employed to evaluate the effects of Pluronic F-127 (X\u2081) and xanthan gum (X\u2082) on gelation temperature (Y\u2081) and mucoadhesive strength (Y\u2082). Nine formulations (VF1-VF9) were developed and evaluated for physicochemical properties, gelation behavior, mucoadhesion, in-vitro drug release, ex vivo permeation, and in vivo anti-migraine efficacy using a nitroglycerin-induced migraine model in rats. Optimized batch VF2 containing 20% Pluronic F-127 and 0.2% xanthan gum showed a gelation temperature of 34.94\u00a0\u00b0C and mucoadhesive strength of 5812.2 dyne/cm2 with minimal prediction error (<\u20095%). VF2 exhibited sustained ex vivo drug release (83.67% at 8\u00a0h) and steady-state flux of 522.94\u00a0\u03bcg/cm2/h. In vivo studies demonstrated significant improvement in locomotor activity, photophobia, and mechanical allodynia, with biochemical normalization of CGRP (41.16\u00a0pg/mg), MDA, NO, GSH, and SOD levels, comparable to sumatriptan.

Despite decades of intensive research, effective disease-modifying therapies remain limited, underscoring the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. This review highlights recent advances in the understanding of disease etiology and emerging treatment approaches, with a particular focus on modalities with translational potential. We discussed novel disease-modifying interventions, including gene and cell therapies, RNA-targeting strategies, and immunotherapies aimed at clearing misfolded proteins such as amyloid-\u03b2, tau, and \u03b1-synuclein. In parallel, we examined the evolving recognition of neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction as actionable therapeutic targets, alongside progress in precision medicine and biomarker-guided approaches that enable early diagnosis and individualized treatment. Additionally, we summarized developments in repurposed pharmacological agents, neuroprotective compounds, and lifestyle interventions, emphasizing the importance of integrative, multimodal strategies. Across AD, PD, and ALS, convergent molecular mechanisms, including protein misfolding, oxidative stress, and disrupted proteostasis, present opportunities for cross-disease therapeutic targeting.

        "42226217": "ID: 42226217\nTitle: Microbiota, systemic immunity, and extracellular vesicles in stroke: peripheral nodes as therapeutic leverage points.\nAbstract: Stroke is increasingly understood as a systemic disorder rather than a brain-only lesion. Beyond the initial cerebral ischemic insult, rapid autonomic and neuroendocrine stress responses destabilize peripheral organ homeostasis and promote widespread immune and metabolic remodeling. Subsequent barrier failure and peripheral immune dysregulation can generate a sustained \"second hit\" in which circulating microbial products, damage-associated signals, and inflammatory mediators feedback to amplify neuroinflammation in a blood-brain barrier-vulnerable state. Meanwhile, post-stroke immunity is temporally plastic: inflammatory programs that worsen acute injury can later support resolution and repair, indicating that outcomes depend on immune balance and timing, not simply inflammatory magnitude. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as multi-cargo biologics with consistent preclinical benefit across functional, histological, and inflammatory endpoints. However, clinical translation has progressed slowly, in part because development has largely prioritized strategies to enhance central nervous system delivery even though systemically administered vesicles typically show low exposure in brain parenchyma. Here, we propose a \"periphery-first\" therapeutic strategy that reframes this pharmacokinetic profile as an advantage. By leveraging the natural sequestration of systemically delivered vesicles by reticuloendothelial and barrier-associated organs-particularly the liver, spleen, and gut-this approach aims to reprogram peripheral immune trajectories, strengthen barrier integrity, and suppress humoral amplification loops that sustain secondary brain injury. We synthesize evidence for stroke-driven multi-organ dysfunction and phase-dependent immune remodeling and integrate mechanistic plausibility for EVs acting through complementary routes: peripheral immune and metabolic rebalancing, actions at the blood-brain barrier interface and limited but potentially meaningful effects within central nervous system immune niches. We also summarize the emerging clinical landscape of EV interventions in stroke and highlight key translational constraints, including product heterogeneity and potency-linked quality control, comorbidity-relevant modeling aligned with systemic pathology, dosing and safety limitations imposed by hepatic clearance, and the need for artifact-resistant biodistribution methods and causal necessity/sufficiency study designs to quantify route-to-efficacy. A periphery-first framework positions EV therapy as a systems-level intervention that targets peripheral drivers of secondary brain injury. Establishing quantitative causal mechanisms and translation-ready manufacturing and dosing principles will be essential to accelerate clinical development beyond a primarily brain-delivery paradigm.",

Major hallmarks of aging include oxidative stress, chronic neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired proteostasis. Although caloric restriction (CR) has consistently demonstrated neuroprotective effects, its long-term effects in humans remain challenging. Consequently, CRMs such as metformin, spermidine, and curcumin have been widely used because of their ability to recapitulate key molecular effects of CR. Despite their therapeutic effects, the clinical translation of CRMs is significantly limited by their poor bioavailability, rapid metabolism, low aqueous solubility, and inefficient penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). A nanoparticle-based drug delivery system provides a promising approach to address these limitations. Polymeric, liposomal, and lipid-based nanocarriers can be engineered to increase BBB transport via receptor-mediated transcytosis and to enable targeted and sustained drug release. Encapsulation of CRMs within nanoparticles has improved their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles by increasing their stability and bioavailability and reducing systemic degradation. However, targeted delivery of CRMs has been shown to modulate aging-associated pathways, which are necessary for the maintenance of neuronal integrity and synaptic function. This review highlights the potential of CRM-loaded nanocarriers as emerging therapeutic systems to delay brain aging and age-associated disorders. Furthermore, the current challenges and future perspectives on optimizing brain-targeted delivery to enable successful clinical translation in age-related NDDs are discussed.",

There is growing evidence that persistent activation of peripheral immune pathways, microglia and astrocytes causes progressive neurodegeneration, synaptic loss and progressive neurodegeneration. This review examines the mechanisms of microglia- driven neuroinflammatory signaling and its involvement in major neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington's disease. Key neuroinflammatory mechanisms covered in depth including microglial activation, astrocyte reactivity, peripheral immune cell infiltration, cytokine dysregulation, and blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption. This review also emphasizes the role of neuroinflammation in acute neurological symptoms and mental and cognitive impairments. Glial activation markers, inflammatory cytokines, BBB proteins and kynurenine pathway metabolites are emerging as promising biomarkers for disease diagnosis and monitoring. Additionally, the potential of new mathematical and systems level computational models to describe intricate neuroimmune interactions and forecast the course of disease and treatment results is investigated. Current and emerging therapies targeting neuroinflammation include anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory drugs, lifestyle interventions, stem cell approaches, gene-editing technologies and nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. Despite significant progress, translating preclinical findings into effective clinical therapies remains challenging.

While many natural compounds, such as the flavonoid luteolin (Lut), possess potent anti-neuroinflammatory properties, their clinical potential is restricted by poor pharmacokinetic profiles and minimal BBB permeability. To address this systemic challenge, we developed a versatile, brain-targeting nanoplatform utilizing mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs). For active CNS targeting, these EVs were functionalized with a chimeric RVG-CP05 peptide via modular, non-covalent anchoring and subsequently loaded with Lut. This RVG@EV-Lut nanocomposite was characterized for its physicochemical properties and evaluated using a Transwell-based in vitro BBB model. Therapeutic efficacy and biodistribution were assessed in a C57BL/6J mouse model of LPS-induced neuroinflammation. RVG functionalized EVs exhibited dynamic stability in vitro, significantly increased cellular uptake by both endothelial cells and microglia and and enhanced the active transport of Lut across the BBB in vitro. Compared to free Lut and non-targeted vesicles, the RVG@EV-Lut platform demonstrated superior brain accumulation and prolonged retention during in vivo imaging. This targeted delivery resulted in a robust suppression of cerebral pro-inflammatory cytokines, reduced neuronal apoptosis, and preservation of hippocampal cytoarchitecture. Critically, these effects were translated into a marked restoration of spatial memory and cognitive performance in the treated mice. Our findings demonstrate that the RVG@EV-Lut platform effectively overcomes the BBB to deliver therapeutic payloads directly to the CNS. This modular engineering strategy provides a scalable and broadly applicable solution for enhancing the brain delivery of compounds with poor pharmacokinetics.",

Here, we develop a chimeric biohybrid nanovesicle (BEV-RVG29-PTX) that integrates viral tropism, bacterial vesiculation, and chemotherapeutic cytotoxicity into a single genetically programmable platform. Genetic fusion of rabies virus glycoprotein 29 (RVG29) to the AIDA1 autotransporter translocator domain enables robust, autonomous surface expression on bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) without the need for chemical conjugation. The BEV-RVG29-PTX drives receptor-dependent BBB transcytosis and achieves efficient glioma accumulation. Encapsulated paclitaxel (PTX), otherwise restricted by BBB impermeability, is effectively delivered to intracranial tumors and induces reactive oxygen species-driven immunogenic cell death. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells immune-activation experiments further confirmed an approximately 2-fold increase in CD80/CD86 activation. Synergizing with the pathogen-mimetic characteristics of BEVs, these signals also elicit an approximately 2-fold increase in intratumoral CD8\u207a T-cell infiltration, overcome immune exclusion, and achieve durable tumor control with extended survival in orthotopic GBM models. Accordingly, this virus-bacteria-drug biohybrid strategy enables targeted brain delivery while simultaneously amplifying antitumor immunity, offering a promising and translatable approach for GBM treatment.",
        "42358231": "ID: 42358231\nTitle: Spermidine in Alzheimer's Disease: Evidence from Animal Models and Human Studies.\nAbstract: Spermidine is a naturally occurring polyamine involved in multiple cellular processes, including growth regulation, protein translation, and autophagy. Increasing attention has been devoted to its potential neuroprotective effects, particularly in Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by \u03b2-amyloid and phosphorylated tau accumulation, synaptic dysfunction, and progressive neuronal loss. In this narrative review, we examine potential mechanisms through which spermidine may influence AD pathophysiology and summarize available preclinical and clinical evidence. Preclinical studies indicate that spermidine induces autophagy, a key cellular clearance pathway responsible for removing damaged organelles and aggregated proteins. Because impaired neuronal autophagy contributes to the accumulation of \u03b2-amyloid and tau in AD, increasing intracellular spermidine levels may enhance the degradation of these toxic species. In addition, spermidine exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, attenuates microglial activation, and supports mitochondrial function. In animal models of AD and brain aging, spermidine administration has been associated with improvements in cognitive performance and synaptic function. However, human clinical evidence remains limited and largely inconclusive. Observational studies suggest associations between higher dietary spermidine intake and better cognitive outcomes, but do not establish causality. Randomized clinical trials to date are few, include small and heterogeneous populations, and have not demonstrated consistent effects on primary cognitive endpoints. Overall, spermidine represents a biologically plausible modulator of pathways relevant to neurodegeneration, but translation of preclinical findings into clinical benefit remains uncertain. Current evidence is insufficient to support its use as a therapeutic or preventive intervention in AD, and further well-designed clinical studies are required to clarify its efficacy and mechanisms of action. Alzheimer\u2019s disease is one of the most common causes of memory loss in older adults. Researchers are searching for ways to protect brain cells and slow the biological processes that lead to this disease. One molecule that has recently attracted attention is spermidine, a natural compound found in all living cells and in many foods, including whole grains, legumes, mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Spermidine plays several roles in the body. One of its most important effects is activation of autophagy, a natural cellular process that removes damaged proteins and other cellular waste. This process is relevant to Alzheimer\u2019s disease because the condition is associated with the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain. Experimental studies also suggest that spermidine may influence inflammation in the brain, support mitochondrial function (the energy system of cells), and help maintain communication between nerve cells. In this review, we summarized evidence from laboratory experiments, animal studies, and available human research. In animal models of brain aging and Alzheimer\u2019s disease, spermidine consistently shows neuroprotective effects and can improve memory performance. Human evidence is more limited. Observational studies suggest that higher dietary spermidine intake may be associated with better cognitive performance, while clinical trials investigating supplementation have produced mixed results. Spermidine is naturally present in many foods and is increasingly studied in the context of aging and brain health. Overall, current evidence suggests that spermidine may play a role in brain aging. Larger and well-designed clinical studies are needed to clarify its potential relevance for Alzheimer\u2019s disease.",

To address this, we developed a clinically translatable, fully synthetic nerve conduit that aligns with native regenerative principles through hierarchical microtopological engineering and phase-specific molecular delivery. This design creates a proregenerative microenvironment by synchronizing structural cues with repair cascades. The neuroanatomically inspired core mimics the endoneurium and perineurium, providing extensive cell-scale contact guidance for axonal alignment and fasciculation. A dual-layered sheath ensures mechanical integrity, metabolic permeability, and selective exclusion of fibrotic tissue. Tailored to align with distinct phases of nerve repair, the conduit enables sequential release of spermidine and ascorbic acid. Spermidine resolves early inflammation, priming the niche for ascorbic acid-mediated debris clearance, axonal elongation, and remyelination. In both rat (2 centimeters) and beagle (5 centimeters) models of critical-sized sciatic nerve defects, the conduit supports structural and functional regeneration comparable to autografts while yielding superior outcomes in motor coordination and suppression of autotomy. This strategy offers a scalable and mechanistically informed solution for repairing ultralong nerve injuries with high translational promise.",

This mechanism-oriented integrative review examines how engineered nanosystems may move beyond brain entry toward lesion-directed modulation of the neuroinflammation-barrier-neuroplasticity axis. We first synthesize the pathological nodes that sustain depression-related network dysfunction and then classify current nanotherapeutic strategies into three categories: small-molecule nanodelivery systems, nucleic acid nanocarriers, and functional nanoplatforms, including lipid and polymeric nanoparticles, inorganic and nanozyme-based systems, biomimetic membrane-coated nanoparticles, and engineered extracellular vesicles, including exosomes. Unlike previous nanosynthesis-focused or catalogue-style nanocarrier reviews, this review organizes the field around a disease-mechanism framework rather than material type alone, emphasizing barrier-state navigation, glial-neuronal-subcellular targeting, stimulus-responsive release, and coordinated modulation of inflammation, vascular integrity, redox homeostasis, and synaptic plasticity. We further argue that nanoplatforms should be evaluated not only by brain accumulation but also by patient stratification, engagement of defined pathological nodes, multimodal biomarker evidence of network-level modulation, manufacturability, and safety under repeated administration. Major translational bottlenecks include insufficient subtype-specific patient selection, limited human relevance of current stress- and inflammation-based models, uncertain biodistribution and long-term neurotoxicity, constraints in scaling up nose-to-brain delivery, batch-to-batch variability, cargo instability, immunogenicity, and unclear regulatory classification of complex biologic or combination products. Finally, we propose a pathological-network-guided precision nanomedicine framework that integrates blood-brain barrier status assessment, liquid biopsy and imaging biomarkers, human-relevant validation models, and scalable quality control to guide future platform design and clinical translation. This review provides a disease-mechanism-centered roadmap for transforming nanomedicine for depression from delivery optimization into precision network-oriented intervention.",

Exosomes and other extracellular vesicles (EVs) provide a biologically compatible interface for brain delivery, yet native vesicles are constrained by heterogeneous composition, modest loading efficiency, limited targeting control, and manufacturing variability. Exosome-nanomaterial hybrid systems are therefore emerging as modular platforms that integrate exosomal biointerfaces with the tunable payload capacity, imaging compatibility, mechanical stability, and stimulus responsiveness of synthetic nanomaterials. In this review, we propose a microenvironment-informed design paradigm for IS nanomedicine. In this framework, the ischemic lesion is not treated as a passive delivery destination, but as a staged design brief defined by blood-brain barrier (BBB) remodeling, thromboinflammation, oxidative stress, immune-cell trafficking, and neurovascular repair. We summarize how exosome source, nanomaterial component, cargo loading, surface functionalization, administration route, and characterization strategy can be selected according to these pathological cues. We further discuss therapeutic applications in BBB-penetrant delivery, neuroprotection, inflammatory modulation, imaging-guided therapy, and neurovascular recovery, together with safety, quality-control, manufacturing, and regulatory barriers. Overall, exosome-nanomaterial hybrids may become clinically meaningful for IS only when their design is microenvironment-informed, mechanism-driven, and translationally scalable.",

Exosomes have emerged as key mediators of central nervous system communication and are increasingly central to the biology of neurodegeneration. These nanoscale vesicles transport proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids across cellular and anatomical barriers, influencing synaptic function, immune signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Under pathological conditions, exosomes facilitate the spread of misfolded proteins such as amyloid-\u03b2, p-tau, \u03b1-synuclein, and TDP-43, thereby accelerating network-level degeneration. At the same time, their cargo exhibits disease-specific molecular signatures detectable in peripheral biofluids, supporting their development as minimally invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and longitudinal monitoring. Advances in exosome engineering further underscore their potential as therapeutic delivery vehicles capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and targeting pathogenic pathways with RNA-based therapeutics, proteins, or gene-editing systems. Together, these findings position exosomes as pivotal contributors to both the mechanistic progression and translational targeting of neurodegenerative diseases.",

Although most patients with ICANS improve after standard corticosteroid therapy, a subset shows insufficient improvement or neurological deterioration after corticosteroid initiation, a clinical scenario often described as corticosteroid-refractory or steroid-refractory ICANS. ICANS develops through a cascade initiated by CAR-T cell expansion and systemic cytokine release, followed by endothelial activation, blood-brain barrier disruption, glial-driven neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury. This process may be further amplified by on-target off-tumour effects and extracellular vesicles released from CAR-T cells. ICANS risk is influenced by CAR construct design, target antigen, and disease context. Several tools may contribute to multimodal risk assessment, including the Immune Effector Cell-Associated Encephalopathy (ICE) score, EASIX/m-EASIX, ICANS-PSS, CART-NS, cytokine profiles, neurofilament light chain, electroencephalography, and imaging, although their predictive value requires further validation. This review summarises the cytokine-mediated mechanisms, product-specific risk patterns, and early recognition strategies of ICANS after CAR-T cell therapy. It also critically appraises emerging investigational approaches for corticosteroid-refractory ICANS, including cytokine-directed interventions, endothelial-stabilising strategies, tyrosine kinase inhibition, CAR-T cell depletion, intrathecal therapy, and engineered suicide gene systems.",

Here, we elucidated BAT activation effects on cerebral ischemic stroke, using in vivo, in vitro, and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patient analyses. In vivo, recipient mice received BAT transplants, then subjected to ischemic stroke by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 90\u00a0min, followed by 24\u00a0h reperfusion. Another MCAO mouse group was injected with extracellular vesicles (EVs) from non- and BAT-transplanted mouse plasma. In vitro, HT-22 cells were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation, 24\u00a0h re-oxygenation (OGD/R), and incubation with PKH67-labelled EVs (BAT-EVs\u2009+\u2009OGD/R). Genomic, proteomic, and apoptotic analyses were conducted, particularly in relation to 14-3-3\u03b6 expression and the p53 apoptotic pathway. BAT transplantation and activation in MCAO mice significantly alleviated cerebral ischemic injury, manifesting as reduced infarct sizes and neurological severity scores. This was likely via BAT producing 14-3-3\u03b6 protein-enriched EVs, which were taken up by ischemic penumbra neuronal cells, where they exerted anti-apoptotic and neuroprotective effects. Similar findings were observed in BAT-EVs\u2009+\u2009OGD/R cells, along with discovering that 14-3-3\u03b6 knock-down increased, while 14-3-3\u03b6 overexpression reduced p53 phosphorylation and cell apoptosis. Moreover, AIS patients with higher peripheral blood 14-3-3\u03b6 had greater percentages of NIH Stroke Scale/Score decreases\u2009\u2265\u20092, indicating greater short-term neurological recovery. Therefore, increased 14-3-3\u03b6 from circulating EVs, obtained from BAT-transplanted donors, resulted in lowered apoptosis and increased neuroprotection in ischemic penumbra cells taking up those EVs, likely via 14-3-3\u03b6 suppressing the pro-apoptotic p53 pathway.",

EVs carry molecular cargo such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids that mirror those at the tissue of origin, offering unique opportunities to quantify disease-related changes in biomarkers. Compared with plasma-derived EVs, those from CSF provide more direct insights into the CNS because of direct shedding of brain EVs to CSF and bypass of confounding factors involving entry to systemic circulation. Despite this potential, translation into clinical practice is limited by challenges such as low yields, purity concerns, and lack of standardized isolation protocols. Addressing these difficulties, alongside integrating multiomics approaches, will advance our understanding of EV molecular cargo and their functional roles in CNS diseases. Over time, CSF-derived EVs could become the new driver of precision medicine in neurology, offering biologic insight for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. This perspective provides a critical evaluation of the current status of EV-based liquid biopsy in CSF and offers recommendations for future research and clinical translation of data from CSF-derived EVs, highlighting their potential to inform physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models.

Although mechanical thrombectomy, intravenous thrombolysis, and neuroprotective interventions have improved acute management, effective brain-targeted delivery remains limited by the blood-brain barrier, short therapeutic windows, heterogeneous ischemic lesions, and secondary injury after reperfusion. Biomimetic nanomedicines have emerged as promising platforms for IS therapy because they can inherit biological functions from cell membranes, extracellular vesicles, or endogenous ligands, thereby improving biocompatibility, immune evasion, circulation stability, and lesion targeting. However, their clinical translation is still constrained by biosafety and immunogenicity concerns, uncertain pharmacokinetics and reproducible large-scale manufacturing, quality control, and regulatory requirements. Moreover, the balance between drug-loading capacity and target release efficiency remains a key challenge. Excessive cargo loading may compromise nanocarrier stability, whereas insufficient loading may fail to achieve therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, rational nanocarrier design for IS should coordinate brain accumulation, stable systemic circulation, lesion-selective activation, efficient loading, and controllable release. In this review, we discuss how stimuli-responsive biomimetic nanomedicines exploit pathological cues such as reactive oxygen species, acidosis, enzymes, inflammatory mediators, or external stimuli for spatiotemporally controlled therapy and combined therapy. This review critically summarizes IS pathophysiology, major biomimetic nanocarrier types, and the design principles and response mechanisms of stimuli-responsive biomimetic systems. Finally, current limitations and future directions are discussed, with emphasis on biosafety evaluation, standardized characterization, scalable manufacturing, clinically relevant models, and rational integration of precision-responsive designs to accelerate translation.",

DNA polymerase delta catalytic subunit 1 (POLD1) is implicated in multiple cancers, but its role in glioma remains unclear. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have emerged as biocompatible, targetable nanocarriers with promising applications in cancer therapy. This study aims to elucidate the oncogenic function of POLD1 in glioma and develop a PDEVs -based delivery system for targeted therapy, with the goal of improving the current therapeutic landscape for glioma. POLD1 expression and prognostic significance were analyzed using clinical samples and databases. In vitro, CCK-8, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays evaluated the impact of POLD1 knockdown on glioma cell proliferation, invasion, migration, cell cycle, and apoptosis. In vivo tumorigenesis and survival were assessed in mouse models. Sweet potato-derived nano-vesicles (SPDELNVs) were isolated and characterized. An engineered A2-SPDELNVs-siPOLD1 system was developed via surface modification and siRNA loading, and its targeting efficiency and therapeutic efficacy were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. POLD1 was upregulated in glioma tissues and correlated with poor prognosis. Its knockdown suppressed proliferation, invasion, and migration, induced cell cycle arrest, and promoted apoptosis in vitro. In vivo, POLD1 targeting inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival. SPDELNVs showed intrinsic anti-glioma activity and efficient cellular uptake. The engineered A2-SPDELNVs-siPOLD1 effectively delivered siRNA, silenced POLD1, and significantly inhibited tumor progression both in vitro and in vivo, with enhanced survival. Our findings uncover the oncogenic role of POLD1 in glioma and validate it as a promising therapeutic target. Furthermore, we establish a novel, plant-based A2-SPDELNVs-siPOLD1 delivery platform with effective BBB penetration and tumor targeting, offering a promising strategy for the treatment of glioma.",

Although these disorders are often clinically defined by symptoms and affected brain regions, many are mechanistically linked to abnormal protein accumulation, misfolding, impaired proteostasis, RNA dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. In this Perspective article, I discuss major neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple system atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, Huntington's disease, prion diseases, spinocerebellar ataxias, and spinal muscular atrophy, through the lens of disease-associated proteins and experimental modeling. I argue that a protein-centered framework provides a useful approach for understanding disease mechanisms and selecting transgenic mouse models, while recognizing that aging, cellular context, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, vascular dysfunction, and other disease modifiers also shape neurodegeneration. Transgenic and genetically engineered mouse models have been essential for dissecting the pathogenic roles of amyloid-\u03b2, tau, \u03b1-synuclein, TDP-43, SOD1, FUS, C9ORF72-associated dipeptide repeat proteins, mutant huntingtin, prion protein, ataxins, and SMN deficiency. However, these models have important limitations, including artificial overexpression, familial mutation bias, species differences, and incomplete representation of aging-related sporadic diseases. Rather than seeking a single \"best\" model, a more productive strategy is to adopt model portfolios tailored to specific biological questions and to integrate mouse studies with human cellular models, postmortem tissue, omics approaches, and biomarker-based validation. Such an approach may improve mechanistic insight, strengthen translational relevance, and enhance the predictive value of preclinical neurodegenerative disease research.",

Nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery has emerged as a non-invasive strategy to transport therapeutics to the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, thereby partially bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Recent advances in nanomedicine and biomaterial engineering have further improved this approach by enhancing drug stability, nasal residence, mucosal transport, and brain-targeting efficiency. This review examines nanocarrier-enabled N2B delivery strategies for AD from a mechanism-guided perspective, highlighting how AD-related pathological processes shape the selection of therapeutic cargos and formulation designs. We discuss recent progress in the intranasal delivery of repurposed small molecules, natural products, insulin-related agents, peptides and proteins, extracellular vesicles, antibodies, and nucleic acid-based therapeutics. We further summarize major nanocarrier and formulation platforms, including lipid-based systems, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, extracellular vesicles, in situ gels, and device-assisted delivery technologies. Particular attention is given to the design parameters that influence N2B performance, including particle size distribution/PDI, surface charge, mucus interaction, cargo protection, targeting modification, biodistribution, and deposition reproducibility. Finally, we critically evaluate the translational challenges that continue to limit clinical application, including species differences in nasal anatomy, dose-volume restrictions, device-dependent variability, limited human pharmacokinetic evidence, manufacturing complexity, long-term safety, and regulatory requirements. By integrating disease mechanisms, nanocarrier design, and translational considerations, this review provides a structured perspective for developing more rational and clinically feasible N2B nanodelivery systems for AD.",

Immediate oxygen and glucose deprivation rapidly deplete ATP, disrupt the transmembrane ionic gradients, increase glutamate excitotoxicity, and overload mitochondrial with calcium. These events alter glycolytic, lipid, amino acid, and redox pathways. During the subacute and chronic phases, astrocytes, microglia, macrophages, endothelial cells, pericytes, oligodendrocytes, and surviving neurons continue to remodel substrate utilization. These phase-specific metabolic programs either accelerate infarct expansion and blood-brain barrier disruption or facilitate angiogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and tissue repair. Consequently, cell-based therapeutic paradigms have shifted from direct neuronal replacement toward metabolic rescue. Transplanted cells and cell-free derivatives deliver trophic factors, extracellular vesicles, microRNAs, antioxidant signals, mitochondrial cues, and immunoregulatory factors. These signals enhance mitochondrial fitness, restore redox homeostasis, attenuate pro-inflammatory glycolysis, and stabilize endothelial-pericyte coupling to stabilize a permissive neurorehabilitation microenvironment. This review synthesizes post-stroke metabolic landscapes and evaluates how mesenchymal stromal, neural stem/progenitor, endothelial progenitor, cord blood-derived, and mononuclear cells, and extracellular vesicles, may be incorporated into a phase-specific translational framework supported by target-engagement biomarkers and standardized potency assays.",

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could be a potential therapeutic option due to their immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and paracrine secretion of extracellular vesicles and trophic factors which modulate microglial activation, preserve blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and neuroplasticity, but with limitations due by poor survival, retention, and phenotypic instability following direct transplantation. The purpose of this narrative review is to present mechanotransduction signaling pathways (integrin-FAK, PI3K/Akt, Rho/ROCK, and YAP/TAZ) through which MSC-based biomaterial scaffolds, especialy hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels, make the transition from reparative to regenerative medicine in central nervous system (CNS) injury. Even if most of the evidence from preclinical studies suggests that dynamically tunable MSC-scaffold systems represent promising platforms for neural tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, further translational studies and well-designed clinical investigations are required to establish their therapeutic efficacy and clinical applicability.",

The cancer treatments linked to CTRCI include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Despite CTRCI severely affecting the psychological and social, cognitive functions, and the overall quality of life of cancer survivors, no effective medications are available currently. Our prior studies have indicated hippocampal tyrosine phosphatase protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type O (PTPRO) as a putative target for CTRCI. However, phosphatase is historically considered undruggable, and delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is challenging. Here, we developed a novel delivery system using neuron-targeted extracellular vesicles (EVs) engineered with a neuron-specific peptide rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) to transport a small activating RNA (saRNA) targeting Ptpro (RVG-EVs-saPtpro). We evaluated the stability, dynamic distribution, cytotoxicity, and brain specificity of RVG-EVs-saPtpro in cellular and animal models. A single intravenous injection of RVG-EVs-saPtpro resulted in sustained elevation of PTPRO in the brain for at least 28 days in CTRCI mice. More importantly, RVG-EVs-saPtpro significantly alleviated CTRCI symptoms by enhancing neuronal survival, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. These findings highlight the potential of RVG-EVs-saPtpro system for targeted treatment of CTRCI.",

Their intrinsic biological properties, including low immunogenicity, biocompatibility, capacity to cross the blood-brain barrier, and natural tissue tropism, confer fundamental advantages over synthetic nanocarriers. This review systematically covers biogenesis (ESCRT-dependent and ceramide-mediated pathways), molecular cargo composition, cellular sources and GMP-- compliant manufacturing, pharmacokinetics and biodistribution, clinical experience across major disease areas, engineering strategies for cargo loading and surface modification, and the current regulatory landscape. Exosome biogenesis is orchestrated by ESCRT-0-III complexes and the neutral sphingomyelinase pathway, yielding vesicles enriched in tetraspanins (CD63, CD9, CD81), heat-shock proteins, and functional nucleic acids including miRNA and circRNA. Mesenchymal stromal cell-derived exosomes dominate clinical pipelines, with scalable 3D hollow-fiber bioreactor production enabling GMP-grade manufacturing. Circulating half-lives vary markedly by source: most cell line-derived exosomes are cleared within 2-30 minutes, whereas platelet-derived EVs persist in circulation for 5.3-5.8 hours. These values are substantially prolonged by CD47-mediated phagocytosis evasion and PEGylation. Engineering approaches, LAMP-2B-mediated genetic display of targeting ligands, click chemistry conjugation, and hybrid Exosome-Liposome Nanoparticles (HELN)markedly enhance tissue selectivity and therapeutic potency. Completed Phase I-IIb trials in oncology and pulmonology demonstrate favourable safety profiles without severe systemic adverse events. As of 2025-2026, no extracellular vesicle therapeutic has received regulatory approval by the FDA, EMA, or equivalent agencies. Engineered exosomes combine multicomponent cargo, context-dependent uptake, and tissue tropism in a single platform. Validated potency assays, batch consistency, and regulatory harmonisation remain the principal unresolved barriers to clinical approval. Convergence of AI-driven manufacturing optimisation, multimodal engineering platforms, and international regulatory harmonisation defines the translational roadmap for exosome-based medicines over the coming decade.",

It offers several advantages, such as rapid absorption, bypassing first-pass metabolism, direct nose-to-brain transport and localized effects. These benefits make it a promising approach for drug delivery in Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. This review evaluates the efficacy and safety of intranasal delivery for Parkinson's disease treatment. Several studies on intranasal apomorphine reported rapid clinical response, improved UPDRS motor scores, tapping scores, and median Webster's scores, suggesting its effectiveness as a rescue therapy during \"off\" states. Intranasal recombinant erythropoietin was well tolerated and showed cognitive benefits. intranasal glutathione was safe and showed better bioavailability. Intranasal insulin improved cognitive performance without hypoglycemia, indicating a localized effect. Intranasal cholecystokinin and ipratropium bromide did not show significant benefits. Intranasal desmopressin is a safe and effective medication for nocturnal polyuria in Parkinson disease. Intranasal transplantation of neural stem cells is safe and is associated with functional improvement. Finally, Rivastigmine nasal spray offered better bioavailability and fewer side effects compared with conventional forms. The most common adverse effect was mild transient nasal or throat irritation. This review highlights the potential applications, efficacy, and side effects of various intranasal medications for Parkinson's disease and proposes using new interventions for future studies.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), synthesized by cyclooxygenases, contributes to inflammation and apoptosis via the E-prostanoid receptor 2 (EP2R). Our previous studies demonstrated that EP2R antagonists mitigate inflammation and microvascular dysfunction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DR. Given the paracrine role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in DR, we hypothesized that EVs derived from human endothelial cells (ECs) may regulate the PGE2/EP2R pathway in DR. Using an STZ-induced diabetic mouse model, we administered intravitreal injections of AAV2-shEP2R and evaluated retinal histology, optical coherence tomography, and biochemical markers. EV morphology, size, and concentration from high glucose (HG)-treated ECs were analyzed. Small RNA expression in plasma EVs from DR patients was assessed via deep sequencing. EP2R inhibition via AAV2-mediated knockdown significantly reduced retinal vascular leakage, leukostasis, and retinal M\u00fcller cell (rMC) activation. MiRNA profiling revealed elevated levels of miR-423-5p and miR-21-5p in EVs from HG-treated ECs, which were suppressed in EVs from EP2R antagonist-treated cells. Notably, deep sequencing of plasma EVs from DR patients confirmed significant upregulation of these miRNAs compared to healthy controls.

However, their clinical translation is constrained by high molecular weight, poor solubility, low oral bioavailability, inefficient membrane permeability, nonspecific biodistribution, off-target degradation, and the concentration-dependent 'hook effect.' Exosomes, nanoscale extracellular vesicles with innate biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, prolonged circulation, and the ability to cross barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, offer a biologically integrated platform to overcome these limitations. This review traces the evolution of PROTAC technology, delineates the challenges of conventional delivery, and evaluates the rationale for exosomal encapsulation, including cargo protection, intracellular trafficking, endosomal escape, and release kinetics. We examine natural and engineered exosomes spanning source selection, active loading strategies, and surface functionalization for tissue-specific homing and synthesize therapeutic applications across viral infections, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory diseases. Proof-of-concept studies, such as camel milk-derived exosomes delivering the BRD4-targeting PROTAC ARV-825, demonstrate enhanced permeability, lower IC50 values, and improved oral bioavailability. Finally, we discuss key hurdles to clinical translation: scalable production, purification, and standardization, and outline future directions for exosome-mediated targeted protein degradation.",

Therapeutic strategies capable of restoring mitochondrial homeostasis in human RGCs remain limited. We established a human retinal ganglion-like cell (RGLC) model of mitochondrial injury and evaluated neuroprotective efficacy of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from either undifferentiated BRN3B-H9 cells or differentiated lineage-tailored RGLCs. RGLC-derived sEVs (RGLC-sEVs) conferred robust neuroprotection, significantly enhancing neuronal survival, preserving neurite architecture, and mitigating mitochondrial stress following injury. These effects were reproducible in mixed retinal cultures and in an ocular hypertension mouse model of glaucoma, with neuroprotective benefits observed throughout the retinal landscape. Mechanistically, untargeted metabolomic profiling revealed extensive metabolic reprogramming involving oxidative phosphorylation, amino acid utilization, lipid metabolism, and redox regulatory pathways. In vitro tracking studies confirmed efficient uptake of sEVs by injured RGLCs, confirming effective vesicular cargo delivery under conditions that promote neuroprotection and metabolic recovery. Functional bioenergetic analysis further validated restoration of mitochondrial-glycolytic coupling and improved cellular energetic resilience. Collectively, our findings establish lineage-tailored RGLC-sEVs as a potent, cell-specific therapeutic candidate capable of reprogramming metabolic networks and restoring bioenergetic homeostasis in glaucomatous neurodegeneration, highlighting their translational potential for neuroprotective intervention in optic neuropathies.",

This variability reflects a dual heterogeneity: patients differ in structural damage, inflammation, metabolism, biomechanics, pain mechanisms, and molecular endotypes, while therapeutic products differ in composition, dose, viability, secretome, and manufacturing protocols. This Mini Review discusses how multimodal characterization of both patients and products may provide the data foundation for precision regenerative medicine in KOA. Imaging, radiomics, biomechanics, multi-omics, and product-quality attributes can be integrated to define meaningful endotypes and support responder prediction. We critically evaluate current artificial intelligence (AI) applications and demonstrate that, although AI has advanced automated imaging assessment and KOA progression prediction, direct evidence for regenerative treatment-response prediction remains scarce. Existing models are largely limited to PRP, whereas validated AI models for MSC-, BMAC-, MFAT-, and EV-based therapies are lacking. Clinical translation will require more than high discrimination metrics. Explainable AI, calibration, uncertainty estimation, external and prospective validation, standardized product reporting, and clinical decision support integration are essential. Future progress depends on matched patient-product-outcome cohorts that enable adaptive, explainable, and clinically actionable treatment selection.",

No definitive methods exist to repair damaged neurons. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) are two neuroprotective agents that work synergistically. However, these large molecular proteins have difficulty crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer superior targeting and low immunogenicity, making them excellent carriers. In this study we examined the protective effects of VEGF and NGF in a cell model and evaluated the therapeutic potential of VEGF-NGF contained within EVs in PD rats. EVs were isolated using sequential differential centrifugation and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and western blotting (WB). VEGF and NGF were loaded into the EVs using a saponin-assisted method to create VEGF@EVs, NGF@EVs, and VEGF/NGF@EVs. The viability of 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride (6-OHDA)-induced SH-SY5Y cells was measured using the cell counting kit-8 assay before and after treatment with VEGF and NGF. Autophagy levels were assessed using WB, and the role of autophagy was further explored using the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine. Unilateral PD rat models were established via stereotactic injection of 6-OHDA into male Sprague-Dawley rats. Behavioral changes were monitored before and after treatment. Neuronal recovery, neurotransmitter levels, and autophagy levels in the rat brains were evaluated using immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and WB. VEGF/NGF@EVs significantly enhanced the viability of 6-OHDA-induced SH-SY5Y cells. A complete autophagic process was identified as essential for this protective effect. The intranasal administration of VEGF/NGF@EVs improved motor behavior in PD rats, with performance better than that of single growth factor treatments. The number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons, TH protein expression, and dopamine content were significantly increased. In addition, the level of autophagy in the rat substantia nigra was elevated. VEGF/NGF@EVs exert protective effects in both in vitro and in vivo 6-OHDA-induced PD models by promoting autophagy, demonstrating greater efficacy than either growth factor alone. By transplanting VEGF/NGF@EVs into PD rats, we showed that these vesicles can effectively cross the BBB and deliver targeted therapy to the central nervous system. This study highlights the significant potential of EV-mediated protein transplantation strategies for treating neurological disorders.",

Beyond their classical roles as immune sentinels, accumulating evidence indicates that IRMs dynamically integrate \u03b2-cell activity, environmental cues, and metabolic stress, thereby coordinating islet homeostasis, adaptive remodelling, and disease progression. However, their context-dependent functions and therapeutic potential remain incompletely understood. This review summarizes current evidence regarding IRM origins, phenotype, metabolic plasticity, and bidirectional crosstalk with \u03b2 cells in health, type 1 diabetes, and type 2 diabetes. We further review emerging therapeutic concepts targeting macrophage metabolism, intercellular communication, and organelle function, while discussing current challenges in translating findings from murine IRMs to human disease. Under physiological conditions, IRMs maintain islet integrity through surveillance, efferocytosis, trophic signalling, redox control, and maintenance of intercellular communication within the islet niche. In diabetes, chronic glucolipotoxicity, autoimmunity, oxidative stress, and amyloid-associated injury can redirect these homeostatic programs toward maladaptive inflammatory states that impair insulin secretion and accelerate \u03b2-cell loss. Collectively, these findings support a unified framework in which IRMs act as immunometabolic hubs integrating local and systemic signals to determine \u03b2-cell fate. IRMs represent central immunometabolic hubs that orchestrate \u03b2-cell fate during health and diabetes. Emerging therapeutic strategies targeting macrophage metabolism, intercellular communication, and organelle function may help prioritize future mechanistic studies and guide safer macrophage-centered interventions for diabetes.",

Conventional hormonal therapies and surgery are limited by systemic side effects, high recurrence rates, and failure to maintain adequate drug concentrations at ectopic lesion sites. Nanotechnology-based drug delivery has emerged as a promising strategy for directing therapeutic agents to ectopic lesion sites, potentially reducing the systemic toxicity that limits current pharmacological options. We systematically review three nanomaterial platforms-hydrogels, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and inorganic nanoparticles-with attention to their physicochemical properties, therapeutic rationale, and preclinical findings, as well as the specific strengths and unresolved limitations of each platform. We further compare how each platform addresses the core pathological processes of EM, namely, persistent inflammation, progressive fibrosis, and pathological angiogenesis. We hope that this review will assist researchers in comparing nanocarrier strategies and identifying more realistic pathways for clinical application in EM.",

Recent evidence suggests that the hydrolysis of phospholipids in extracellular vesicles (EVs) by secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) can augment the ability of EVs to modulate inflammation, allergy, and cancer. We aimed to apply this phenomenon technically using \"sPLA2-reacted EVs (SPLEVs),\" which showed high therapeutic efficacies against ARDS and other diseases. Mechanistically, SPLEVs bind to type II alveolar epithelial cells, increase membrane fluidity by reorganizing phospholipid building blocks with more polyunsaturated fatty acids through the sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 pathway, and elicit \"lipid counterstorm\" by increasing tissue-protective lipid mediators. The potent therapeutic effects of SPLEVs depend partly on sPLA2-driven generation of lysophosphatidylglycerol. Thus, SPLEVs are expected to be an effective therapeutic tool for treatment of broad ranges of inflammatory diseases including COVID-19 and other new pandemic diseases.",

One of the most complicated components of recent neurodegenerative disease therapies is the penetration and delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system (CNS), which are hindered via the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In response, innovative treatment approaches leveraging noninvasive techniques including nanosized drug delivery systems and intranasal (IN) administration with higher treatment efficacy and patient satisfaction are developing as potential options. IN administration delivers medications directly to the brain through both the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, with the olfactory pathway representing the primary route for nose-to-brain transport. Among various IN platforms, chitosan (CS)-based hydrogels have attracted considerable attention because of their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, mucoadhesive properties, and ability to enhance drug permeation by prolonging nasal residence time and transiently modulating epithelial tight junctions. This review critically summarizes recent advances in CS-based hydrogels for IN drug delivery for the treatment of brain diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), depressive manifestations, ischemia,brain tumors,epilepsy, seizures, and schizophrenia. In addition, the review discusses the relationships between hydrogel design and therapeutic performance, highlights current translational challenges, and outlines future perspectives for the clinical development of CS-based IN hydrogel systems.",

Autophagy is essential for endothelial homeostasis, yet its role in aldosterone-mediated vascular dysfunction remains unclear. We tested whether aldosterone impairs autophagic flux and whether restoring autophagy via Beclin1 (BCN1) activation protects vascular and cardiac function. Endothelial and vascular responses to aldosterone were assessed in wild-type mice, BCN1 gain-of-function mice (Becn1), and mice treated with spermidine or a BCN1-activating TB-peptide. Vascular function, nitric oxide (NO)/reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, autophagy markers, endothelial migration, and cardiac fibrosis were evaluated using wire myography, fluorescence assays, Western blotting, confocal microscopy, migration assays, and histology. Aldosterone impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation, decreased NO, increased ROS, and disrupted autophagic flux in an MR-dependent manner, indicated by LC3 accumulation and reduced p62 and BCN1 expression. Spermidine restored endothelial function and normalized NO and ROS levels. BCN1 gain-of-function mice were protected from aldosterone-induced endothelial dysfunction and exhibited reduced coronary and myocardial fibrosis. TB-peptide activation of BCN1 enhanced autophagic flux, improved vascular function, decreased cardiac fibrosis, and rescued endothelial migration impaired by aldosterone. Aldosterone induces endothelial dysfunction by suppressing autophagic flux through MR activation. Genetic or pharmacologic enhancement of BCN1-dependent autophagy restores endothelial homeostasis and prevents vascular and cardiac injury, identifying autophagy activation as a promising therapeutic approach for cardiovascular diseases associated with mineralocorticoid excess.",

Immune cells play important roles in both the onset and resolution of gastrointestinal inflammation. With the recent extensive research on extracellular vesicles, the mechanism by which immune cells regulate gastrointestinal inflammation through extracellular vesicles has gradually gained recognition within the scientific community. Extracellular vesicles derived from immune cells can communicate with other immune cells in the digestive tract and directly regulate digestive tract epithelial cells. Furthermore, with advances in biological nanotechnology, immune cell-derived extracellular vesicles may be used to treat inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases. This review focuses on delineating the role of immune cell-derived extracellular vesicles in gastrointestinal inflammation and exploring their potential applications in treating these inflammatory diseases.",

However, there are currently no effective drug options for the clinical treatment of ALF. Herein, inspired by the new concept of a full-API nanodrug (FAND), we have rationally developed a quadruplex bioactive FAND (termed FANDHP@FuEVs) composed entirely of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). This FANDHP@FuEVs is constructed from fusion extracellular vesicles (FuEVs), which hybridize M2 macrophage-derived EVs (M2-EVs) with mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs (MSC-EVs) and is subsequently engineered with two clinically therapeutic biomacromolecules: hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and polyene phosphatidylcholine (PPC). Notably, FANDHP@FuEVs efficiently targets the damaged liver, benefiting from the dual inherent inflammation-tropism of the FuEVs. Moreover, FANDHP@FuEVs harnesses quadruplex biological activities by leveraging four natural bioactive components-M2-EVs, MSC-EVs, HGF, and PPC-to deliver pleiotropic therapies, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative, and macrophage repolarization effects. These therapies are effective in treating ALF induced by both acetaminophen and hepatectomy, demonstrating significant clinical relevance based on data from patients with liver disease. Overall, the utilization of naturally derived or clinically approved APIs to construct full-bioactive nanodrugs creates opportunities for clinical translation as a safe, versatile, and multifaceted treatment for ALF.",

The polyamine spermidine was suggested to exert neuroprotective effects, but its concentration-dependent impact on longevity, neuronal integrity, and behavior remains still not well studied. Here, we investigated the effects of spermidine on lifespan, behavioral responses, brain tissue, target gene expression, and antioxidant status in Drosophila melanogaster model of age-dependent neurodegeneration. Wild-type flies and swiss cheese (sws1) mutants were exposed to 0.5, 1, and 5\u2009mM spermidine from early adulthood. Lifespan analysis revealed that high-dose spermidine (5\u2009mM) reduced survival in both wild-type and sws1 mutants, whereas lower doses (0.5 and 1\u2009mM) significantly improved survival in mutants without affecting wild-type flies. Behavioral assays revealed that sws1 flies exhibited reduced climbing ability compared to controls, which was further decreased at 5\u2009mM. Lower concentrations did not significantly affect locomotor performance. Taste preference for trehalose, impaired in untreated sws1 mutants, was partially restored by spermidine at all tested concentrations. Histological analysis of 10-13-day-old mutants showed a concentration-dependent reduction in degeneration zones within the lamina and medulla at 0.5 and 1\u2009mM, whereas 5\u2009mM had no effect. Biochemical assays indicated mild pro-oxidant effects at 5\u2009mM, reflected by increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, while 0.5\u2009mM enhanced antioxidant defenses, including catalase activity and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). Our results suggest that spermidine at low doses has the potential to be a general-purpose neuroprotector.",

Despite advances in understanding genetic and molecular contributors, effective disease-modifying therapies for sporadic ALS are of limited utility. The identification of the accumulation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in 97% of total ALS cases represents a critical pathogenic hallmark. This review examines key biological mechanisms underlying TDP-43 pathology, emerging therapeutic strategies, and evolving approaches to clinical trial design and biomarker development. TDP-43 loss of nuclear function, leading to widespread RNA missplicing, and inclusion of cryptic exons, represents an early and critical event in ALS pathogenesis causing downstream dysregulation of key neuronal genes such as STMN2 and UNC13A contributing to axonal degeneration and synaptic dysfunction. Therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways are currently under investigation. Additional approaches aim to ameliorate TDP-43 gain-of-function through cytoplasmic TDP-43 aggregation or modulating processes such as stress responses and RNA metabolism, although clinical translation has been challenging. Advances in biomarkers, including neurofilament light chain and cryptic exon-derived peptides, provide tools for developing efficient clinical trials. However, heterogeneity in disease progression and limitations of available clinical endpoints complicate trial design. Integration of biological insights with biomarker-driven patient stratification and optimized trial methodologies is essential to improve clinical trial outcomes. Emerging biomarkers may enable earlier diagnosis, monitoring of therapeutic response, and personalized treatment approaches. Continued alignment of biological discovery with innovative clinical trial design holds promise for advancing effective therapies and transforming the future of ALS.",

Growing evidence establishes microglia-driven neuroinflammation as a key driver of disease onset and progression, with mitochondrial dysfunction emerging as an early trigger of microglial activation. This review comprehensively summarizes current progress on how mitochondrial alterations regulate microglial activation across AD, PD, and ALS. We identify conserved mechanisms including metabolic reprogramming, impaired mitophagy, and inflammatory signaling, though A\u03b2, \u03b1-synuclein, and TDP-43 engage these pathways through disease-specific molecular routes. Therapeutic strategies targeting microglial mitochondria, including cGAS-STING and NLRP3 inhibitors, TREM2 agonists, and mitochondrial transplantation, remain largely preclinical. Emerging targets such as OLFML3 and GPNMB require functional validation in microglia. Collectively, this review underscores that preserving microglial mitochondrial health represents a promising therapeutic frontier and identifies key priorities for translating these strategies toward clinical application.",

Recent evidence highlights macrophage metabolic reprogramming as a critical driver of immune responses, yet macrophages operate within a broader immunometabolic network involving dendritic cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes that collectively shape sepsis outcomes. The coordination of these metabolic changes across multicellular interactions and their contribution to organ-specific vulnerability remain poorly understood. Here we present a holistic framework linking macrophage metabolism to multicellular communication and organ vulnerability. We discuss how glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and fatty acid oxidation alter macrophage states via epigenetic and signaling mechanisms, producing metabolites that connect metabolism to inflammation. These signals reshape cellular networks through cytokines, extracellular vesicles, and damage-associated molecule patterns (DAMPs), differentially impacting organs with diverse metabolic demands, including the heart, lung, liver, kidney, brain, and intestine, resulting in distinct injury patterns. Our framework enhances understanding of sepsis-induced organ heterogeneity and advocates for stage-specific, organ-targeted therapies that consider integrated multicellular immunometabolic contributions.",

This study evaluated the protective effects of spermidine (SPD) and melatonin (MT) supplementation on semen quality in Dorper rams during summer. Twenty-four rams were randomly assigned to a control group, an SPD group (5\u202fmg/kg, dietary supplementation), or an MT group (60\u202fmg, subcutaneous implantation) and treated for 60 days. The temperature-humidity index (THI) was monitored throughout the experimental period. Compared with the control group, MT significantly reduced serum cortisol concentration on day 30 (P\u202f<\u202f0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed at the other sampling time points. Serum testosterone, spermidine, and melatonin concentrations remained unchanged throughout the study (P\u202f>\u202f0.05). SPD supplementation significantly increased ejaculate volume on day 35 and sperm motility on day 42 (P\u202f<\u202f0.05), whereas MT did not significantly affect these parameters. Neither treatment reduced the overall sperm abnormality rate. However, both SPD and MT significantly decreased the proportion of acephalic and decaudated sperm on day 56 (P\u202f<\u202f0.05). Neither treatment significantly affected pregnancy rate, delivery rate, or the expression of PMFBP1 and SUN5 proteins in semen (P\u202f>\u202f0.05). Regarding oxidative stress, MT significantly downregulated CAT protein expression (P\u202f<\u202f0.05), whereas SPD significantly reduced MDA content and SOD1 protein expression (P\u202f<\u202f0.05); MT showed similar but non-significant trends for these two markers (P\u202f>\u202f0.05). Collectively, these findings demonstrate that SPD and MT exert distinct protective effects against heat stress, with SPD improving selected semen quality traits and both treatments reducing sperm head-tail separation, although these benefits did not translate into improved reproductive performance.",

Increasing evidence indicates that alterations in gut microbial communities are associated with a wide range of neurological disorders; however, the strength of this association varies across diseases, and many mechanistic observations still rely predominantly on experimental models rather than human studies. This review provides an overview of current evidence regarding the role of the gut microbiota in maintaining CNS homeostasis, with particular emphasis on intestinal barrier function, immune modulation, vagal and enteric communication, and the generation of biologically active microbial metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and neurotransmitter-related compounds. Studies in both clinical and experimental settings have reported disease-specific microbial signatures in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorders, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In parallel, microbiota-directed interventions-including probiotics, prebiotics, dietary approaches, fecal microbiota transplantation, and strategies targeting microbial metabolites-have produced encouraging findings in preclinical studies and early-stage clinical investigations. Nevertheless, considerable heterogeneity in study populations, experimental methodologies, and therapeutic protocols continues to limit the translation of these findings into routine clinical practice. Collectively, current evidence supports the MGBA as a valuable framework for understanding neurological diseases while underscoring the need for rigorously designed longitudinal studies and well-controlled clinical trials to define its therapeutic relevance better.",

This study developed a self-assembled nanoaggregate system based on a novel spermidine-geranic acid ionic liquid ([Spd][Ger] IL) for PTX delivery. The synthesized [Spd][Ger] IL exhibited a low apparent critical aggregation concentration (0.33\u00a0mg/mL), and molecular dynamics simulation confirmed its spontaneous self-assembly in water. PTX was efficiently incorporated into [Spd][Ger] nanoaggregates, affording a stable formulation with an encapsulation efficiency of 89.6%, a drug loading of 8.3%, and an average particle size of 171.8\u00a0nm. PTX@[Spd][Ger] showed sustained and pH-responsive release, with cumulative PTX release of 73.66% at pH 6.5 and 61.60% at pH 7.4 after 72\u00a0h. In vitro, PTX@[Spd][Ger] reduced the IC50 from 2.25 to 0.60\u00a0\u03bcg/mL in MCF-7 cells and from 4.33 to 1.24\u00a0\u03bcg/mL in 4\u00a0T1 cells after incubation for 24\u00a0h, which was attributed to the higher cellular uptake of [Spd][Ger] nanoaggregates. In a 4\u00a0T1 orthotopic mouse model, PTX@[Spd][Ger] produced tumor suppression comparable to Taxol\u00ae with markedly improved systemic tolerability.

We present a structured, lineage-calibrated framework that separates three linked processes: a recruitment gate controlling access to CNS borders and lesions; a lesion-decoding hub through which aggregate, lipid, cytokine, complement, antigenic, hypoxic, and danger-associated inputs are interpreted; and a state-persistence layer in which metabolic and epigenetic reinforcement stabilizes inflammatory, repair-supportive, or hybrid repair-restrictive programs. To make the framework operational, we first provide a cross-disease synthesis and then map representative models of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis to their specific recruitment routes, lesion cues, lineage confidence, and functional outcomes. We also distinguish what single-cell or spatial data can infer from what only origin-resolving approaches can establish, and propose practical terminology for studies that cannot perform fate mapping or parabiosis. A worked therapeutic example illustrates why the same recruitment pathway may be harmful during lesion expansion but useful during debris clearance and recovery. The central question is therefore not whether monocytes are present, but which model, compartment, time point, evidentiary tier, and stabilized state justify a disease-modifying claim. This framework links mechanistic evidence to biomarkers, patient stratification, and stage-aware intervention while reducing over-attribution of peripheral origin.",

Recent advances in nanotechnology and synthetic biology have enabled the development of autonomous and programmable delivery systems that can target the olfactory epithelium, enhance brain entry and sustain therapeutic release. This review highlights current strategies for engineering intranasal drug delivery vectors that can replicate or extend cellular functions to enable autonomous nose-to-brain drug delivery. These vectors include: synthetic nanoparticles that mimic essential cellular activities and allow for modular surface modification; extracellular vesicles that naturally carry therapeutic cargo and exhibit parent-cell-derived tropism; and living therapeutics, such as engineered microbes, viruses or stem cells, that respond dynamically to host environments and can be genetically programmed for precise payload production. Emphasis is placed on the modular design of functional components, host-responsive interactions tailored to anatomical and physiological cues, and the integration of programmable functions that collectively drive delivery autonomy and therapeutic efficacy. Together, these advances position intranasal delivery as a versatile platform for treating neurological disorders, offering a foundation for future translational development.",

Current systemic therapies, including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibitors, offer benefits but have limited efficacy and may cause adverse effects; thus, highlighting the need for targeted delivery across the BBB. This review introduces extracellular vesicles (EVs) as an appropriate pharmaceutical engineering platform to address such challenges. While traditional treatments have inherent disadvantages, engineered EVs offer efficient blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, targeted delivery, and multi-therapeutic payload capacity for migraine-associated neural circuits. We introduce a framework for pathophysiology-informed technology by first discussing the role of native EVs in promoting the migraine cascade to identify specific sites of therapeutic intervention. In this review, the focus is on pharmaceutical nanotechnology, starting with the strategic selection of producer cells, including \"Hijack & Modify\" vs De Novo Design, and continuing through sequential nano-engineering of EVs by surface functionalization and utilization of hybrid vesicles for targeting the BBB and trigeminovascular systems to state-of-the-art smart-release systems. We continue with the critical analytical and manufacturing sciences needed to translate such engineered EVs from bench to bedside, addressing important translational challenges through scalable Good manufacturing practices (GMP) production, supported potency assays, and comprehensive quality assurance processes. These include potency tests, GMP production, and robust quality control that may be expanded. Finally, we combine all of these into a single translational pathway that examines the regulatory issues, the patent landscape, and the future of personalized EV therapeutics.

MRSA can also circumvent macrophage surveillance by affecting polarization and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. We previously demonstrated that the secretome of equine mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), comprised of all secreted bioactive factors and collected as conditioned medium (CM), reduces the growth of MRSA both in vitro and in vivo. This study aimed to determine if the equine MSC secretome has additional anti-MRSA properties by studying its effects on equine neutrophil and macrophage functions in vitro. Transwell assays demonstrated that CM from adipose tissue- and bone marrow-, but not peripheral blood-, derived MSCs significantly enhanced neutrophil migration. In addition, CM from all three MSC sources significantly reduced the phagocytic capacity of neutrophils but did not alter ROS production. MSC CM from all three tissue sources promoted macrophage polarization toward both CD86-positive (M1-like) and CD206-positive (M2-like) phenotypes, but did not change phagocytic capacity or ROS production. Further experiments showed that the complete CM, rather than the soluble and extracellular vesicle (EV) subfractions, was responsible for the increased neutrophil chemotaxis. Additionally, the primary effect of EVs on macrophages was cell death, possibly through autophagy, which can be beneficial if tissue damaging inflammation is diminished with decreased numbers of viable macrophages. Collectively, our findings show that the equine MSC secretome modulates various innate immune responses in vitro and may have therapeutic potential for managing dysregulated inflammation associated with bacterial diseases in vivo.",

Identifying robust biological signatures is essential for understanding disease mechanisms and improving diagnosis. Here, we investigated the protein cargo of plasma-derived small extracellular vesicles (SEVs) from PASC-positive and PASC-negative individuals to identify EV-linked biomarkers of Long-COVID. SEVs were isolated from EDTA plasma of PASC-positive (n=20) and PASC-negative (n=11) individuals using size-exclusion chromatography. SEV protein cargo was profiled across more than 5400 proteins using the Olink Explore HT platform. PASC-positive patients commonly reported fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, sleep disruption, and mood changes. Proteomic analysis revealed 269 significantly dysregulated proteins, including 84 upregulated and 21 downregulated, with a fold change >2 in PASC. These differentially altered proteins were enriched in pathways related to coagulation, inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis, extracellular matrix remodeling, mitochondrial dynamics, and immune activation. PASC-positive SEVs showed persistent increases in FN1, HCF-H, HGF, and IL-17RA, proteins previously dysregulated in acute COVID-19. These markers showed greater differences in SEVs than in matched plasma, particularly HGF and IL-17RA, which were significantly altered in SEVs but not in plasma.

While surface engineering can enhance tissue accumulation, strategies that preserve biocompatibility and enable scalable production remain limited. Here, we introduce boiling as a simple thermal processing approach that structurally reconfigures ginger extracellular vesicles (GEVs) into functionally enhanced, thermally reassembled GEVs (T-GEVs). The surface architecture of T-GEVs is enriched with key vesicle trafficking regulators, including V-type proton adenosine triphosphatase subunit G, ARF1, and \u03b2-adaptin-like protein. This specific composition drives their tissue-specific accumulation in the intestine and liver and potentiates clathrin-dependent cellular uptake in intestinal cells by 8.57-fold. Beyond superior intrinsic anti-inflammatory activity through NLRP3 inflammasome suppression, T-GEVs function as an efficient oral delivery platform. When loaded with tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) small interfering RNA, they enable a synergistic therapy that combines innate anti-inflammatory activity with targeted gene silencing of TNF-\u03b1, showing potent efficacy in colitis.

Despite advances in highly effective modulator therapies, microbial communities persist in the CF lung. The pathogenesis of CF airway infections can be exacerbated by pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which communicates with primary human bronchial epithelial cells (pHBEC) by secreting bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) that diffuse through mucus and deliver virulence factors, DNA, and RNA to pHBEC. However, most CF lung infections are polymicrobial in nature, and therefore, the contribution of polymicrobial bEVs remains to be determined. By using a polymicrobial culture model representing a 'pulmotype' detected in \u223c34% of lung infections in people with CF (pwCF), comprised of P. aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus sanguinis and Prevotella melaninogenica grown in synthetic sputum medium under anoxia, we report that each bacterial genus in the polymicrobial community secretes bEVs containing proteins and RNAs predicted to promote the establishment of chronic infection by reducing\u00a0Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) stimulated CF pHBEC CFTR Cl- secretion, enhancing virulence and biofilm formation, and upregulating the stress response and pro-inflammatory pathways in pHBEC.

Both conditions share significant disruptions in metabolic and inflammatory signalling despite having different genetic origins and clinical manifestations; underscoring the necessity of pathway-oriented treatment approaches. In the central nervous system, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-\u03b3 (PPAR-\u03b3), a ligand-activated nuclear receptor has become an important regulator of inflammation, redox homeostasis, mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular stress responses.

Emerging evidence demonstrates that dysbiosis, an imbalance in microbial composition and function, plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and age-related cognitive decline. This chapter summarizes current knowledge of the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) and elucidates how intestinal microbes and their metabolites communicate with the central nervous system via neural, immune, endocrine, and metabolic pathways. We examine the mechanistic links between gut dysbiosis and specific neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease (HD), and Multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, we explore age-related changes in the microbiota and their contributions to neuroinflammation, immunosenescence, and cognitive decline. Finally, we evaluate therapeutic interventions targeting the microbiota, including probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and dietary modulation as promising strategies to prevent and ameliorate neurodegenerative pathology. The chapter provides a comprehensive summary of how microbiota-targeted approaches may delay ageing and neurodegeneration.",

Years before overt cognitive or motor symptoms emerge, neurons begin to experience impaired glucose utilization, mitochondrial dysfunction, and declining ATP production. Because the brain is highly energy-dependent, even subtle metabolic disturbances can disrupt synaptic function, impair neuronal signaling, and trigger oxidative stress. As mitochondrial efficiency declines, reactive oxygen species accumulate, inflammatory pathways become chronically activated, and damaged cellular components are insufficiently cleared, creating a vicious cycle that accelerates neurodegeneration. Conventional metabolic therapies, including antioxidants and mitochondrial cofactors, have produced limited clinical success, largely due to poor penetration across the blood-brain barrier and lack of specificity for vulnerable neuronal populations and intracellular targets such as mitochondria. Nanotechnology introduces a more precise therapeutic strategy by enabling targeted delivery of metabolic modulators directly to the brain. Engineered nanocarriers can be designed to cross biological barriers, enhance drug stability, and release therapeutic agents in a controlled or stimuli-responsive manner within diseased regions. Advanced systems including polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based carriers, intranasal nano formulations, biomimetic vesicles, and catalytic nanozymes offer the ability to simultaneously modulate oxidative stress, restore mitochondrial function, and regulate neuroinflammation. By integrating delivery precision with metabolic intervention, neuro-nanomedicine shifts the therapeutic focus from symptomatic management toward addressing the underlying bioenergetic crisis. Although challenges remain in safety validation, scalability, and clinical translation, targeted nanotherapeutic strategies hold significant promise for transforming the treatment landscape of these debilitating neurodegenerative disorders.",

Because neurons rely heavily on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to meet their high energetic demands, mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged as a key pathogenic driver in major neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Defects in mitochondrial bioenergetics, excessive reactive oxygen species production, impaired mitochondrial dynamics, disrupted mitophagy, and dysregulated calcium handling collectively contribute to neuronal damage, synaptic dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. These insights have prompted growing interest in therapeutic strategies that directly target mitochondria to restore organelle homeostasis. Recent advances in chemical biology and nanomedicine have enabled the development of mitochondria-targeted ligands, peptide-based targeting systems, and carrier or nanotechnology-enabled delivery platforms designed to overcome biological barriers and selectively deliver therapeutic cargos to mitochondria within the central nervous system. In this Review, we summarize mitochondrial pathological mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases and discuss emerging mitochondria-targeted therapeutic strategies, highlighting delivery technologies, therapeutic modalities, and translational challenges. Although most strategies remain at the preclinical or proof-of-principle stage, these advances are beginning to shape a conceptual framework for precision mitochondrial medicine, with the longer-term goal of developing disease-modifying interventions for neurodegenerative disorders.",

Recently, therapeutic development in the dementia field has accelerated, with the introduction of monoclonal antibody therapeutics such as Lecanemab and Donanemab. However, AD and FTD patients are still either diagnosed too late to benefit from available therapies or are misdiagnosed due to the clinical overlap between dementia subgroups making therapeutic intervention challenging. This highlights a real need to improve early diagnostic tools of neurodegenerative disease (ND) biomarkers. A potential source of such biomarkers come from small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), groups of cell-derived, lipid-bound assemblies with the capability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and known to carry pathogenic proteins associated with AD and FTD. A known cargo of sEVs is microRNA (miRNA), regulatory molecules that post-transcriptionally silence gene expression including transcripts of autophagic systems, processes which dysfunction in dementia-causing diseases leading to toxic aggregate build-up, causing neurodegeneration. The targeting of functional machineries in macroautophagy (MA) and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) by different miRNA may vary between AD and FTD mutations, leading to potential biomarkers of disease being highlighted. Through isolating sEVs from the frontal cortex of post-mortem brain tissue of AD, FTD-MAPT, FTD-C9orf72, FTD-GRN and no-disease control patients (Manchester Brain Bank), miRNA cargoes were analysed and compared using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Seven autophagy-associated miRNA candidates (MA: miR-124-3p, miR-30a-5p, miR-128-3p; and CMA: miR-224-5p, miR-373-5p, miR-106a-3p and miR-26b-5p) were tested to identify dementia sub-group variations, used alongside small RNA-sequencing to explore broader miRNA variation within sEV populations. Of the miRNA tested miR-224-5p (P = 1.76 \u00d7 10-5) and miR-106a-3p (P = 0.033) showed significant group differences, and further significant pairwise comparison differences [miR-224-5p: AD fold change (FC) = 4.29, MAPT FC = 7.62; miR-106a-5p: AD FC = 5.59] when compared with no disease controls and other dementia subgroups, potentially showing initial diagnostic and differentiating potential. Small RNA-sequencing results revealed 8 AD, 2 FTD-GRN, 52 FTD-MAPT and 12 FTD-C9orf72 differentially expressed sEV-miRNAs when compared with no disease controls. Further direct comparisons between AD versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, and even FTD mutation versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, identified additional miRNA with differentiating capabilities. These findings demonstrate sEV-derived miRNA signatures vary across dementia sub-types and suggest potential roles of sEV cargoes in both disease diagnostics and identifying drivers of ND, such as autophagic impairments and signalling pathways.",

Redirecting monocyte differentiation offers a compelling yet underexplored therapeutic opportunity. In this work, we found M1-polarized macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles (M1-EVs) efficiently induced monocytes to differentiate into anti-tumor macrophages via tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-\u03b1)-mediated signaling. Despite promising, the therapeutic efficacy of M1-EVs was constrained by insufficient glioma accumulation and CD47-mediated phagocytic inhibition. To address this challenge, we further engineered M1-EVs with dual-targeting specificity by genetically incorporating a tumor-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against IL13R\u03b12 or EGFRvIII together with CD47-blocking SIRP\u03b1 variants. The resulting dual-targeting EVs (M1-CS-EVs) exhibited enhanced blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration and glioma accumulation while locally disrupting CD47-SIRP\u03b1 interactions. In three orthotopic glioma models, M1-CS-EVs elicited a potent anti-tumor immune response and enhanced tumor phagocytosis, significantly suppressing tumor growth while prolonging animal survival. Our findings establish a platform technology for directing monocyte differentiation toward anti-tumor phenotypes, offering a broadly applicable strategy for glioma treatment.",

Importantly, complications arising from microvascular dysfunction, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and chronic neuroinflammation have been implicated in driving PASC within the central nervous system (CNS), known as neuro-PASC. Notably, people with HIV (PWH), who suffer from chronic neuroinflammation, BBB impairment, and glial cell dysfunction, collectively known as neuro-HIV, are generally at higher risk of neuro-PASC. The overlap between neuro-PASC and neuro-HIV raises concerns that HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infection may exacerbate neurological dysfunctions among PWH. In this study, using an in-vitro cell culture model, we examine the effects of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 mono- and co-infection in microglia, astrocytes, and pericytes. Our results demonstrated that majority of brain cell types support SARS-CoV-2 replication, in the presence and absence of HIV infection. Furthermore, in both mono- and co-infected cells, there were varying degree of up- and downregulation of SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry factors, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, NRP1, and TRIM28, and inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2. Moreover, conditioned media collected from HIV, SARS-CoV-2, and HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infected astrocytes and pericytes were shown to be neurotoxic. Additionally, proteomic analysis has revealed a unique set of proteins significantly up/down regulated in HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infected astrocytes and pericytes. The gene set enrichment analysis of these proteins indicates dysregulation of lipid, energy, and immune metabolism pathways linked to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These in-vitro findings indicate that astrocytes and pericytes from HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infection exhibit altered protein expression profiles, implicating dysregulated signaling pathways associated with neurodegenerative dysfunction.",

Emerging studies suggest that bacteria-related signals can be detected in primary and metastatic brain tumors; however, their biological meaning remains incompletely defined. In particular, low-biomass brain tissues are highly vulnerable to reagent contamination, environmental carry-over, batch effects, and bioinformatic misclassification, making it essential to distinguish molecular bacterial traces from viable intratumoral bacteria or a bona fide tumor microbiome. In this review, we propose a graded conceptual framework that separates bacterial signals/elements, intratumoral bacteria, and intratumoral microbiota/microbiome according to evidentiary strength. We summarize current evidence for the spatial and cellular localization of bacteria-related signals in BrM and discuss potential source models, including primary-tumor carry-over, hematogenous dissemination, gut microbiota-derived metabolites, oral microbial input, and bacterial extracellular vesicles. We further examine how these signals may interact with the BrM tumor microenvironment by influencing tumor-cell stress adaptation, myeloid inflammatory niches, antigen-presentation pathways, vascular-barrier remodeling, and metabolic reprogramming. Particular attention is given to the emerging gut-brain-metastasis axis and to cancer-type-specific contexts in breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma brain metastases. From a translational perspective, bacteria-related signals in BrM may eventually contribute to biomarker development, patient stratification, and therapeutic modulation of the microbe-host axis. Nevertheless, current evidence remains insufficient to conclude that BrM broadly harbor stable, active, and clinically actionable microbial communities. Future progress will require multi-source matched cohorts, longitudinal sampling, stringent low-biomass contamination control, absolute quantification, spatial validation, functional models, and explicit separation of microbial presence, viability, and causality. A rigorous evidence-based approach will be essential for moving this field from intriguing associations toward biologically interpretable and clinically meaningful applications.",

This review provides a hypothesis-generating conceptual synthesis of non-coding RNA-driven cardiovascular immunometabolic reprogramming from an inflammatory endotype-oriented perspective. Because ncRNA profiling has not yet prospectively assigned cardiovascular patient cohorts to validated inflammatory endotypes, we frame mechanism-based endotypes as complementary research constructs rather than clinically deployable diagnostic categories. We discuss how conventional disease labels, including atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy, may be cross-mapped to dominant mechanisms such as athero-inflammation, sterile ischemic injury, fibro-inflammatory remodeling, metabolic inflammation, and vascular immune-endothelial dysfunction. We summarize how microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and extracellular vesicle-associated RNA species regulate macrophage cholesterol handling, inflammasome activation, endothelial activation, vascular smooth muscle cell plasticity, cardiomyocyte mitochondrial dysfunction, fibroblast activation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and intercellular communication, with added attention to circRNA tissue-source patterns in cardiac, immune-cell, endothelial, and vascular compartments. We also highlight their context-dependent and cell type-specific actions, which challenge simple protective-versus-pathogenic classifications. Finally, we discuss translational opportunities, including circulating and extracellular vesicle-associated non-coding RNAs as liquid biopsy candidates, RNA-based therapeutics, endotype-enriched study designs, and traditional medicine-inspired multicomponent strategies. Despite barriers related to delivery, specificity, disease stage, species conservation, analytical standardization, and validation, integrated phenotyping, multi-omics profiling, functional perturbation, and biomarker-enriched trials may advance non-coding RNAs as candidate classifiers, regulators, markers, and therapeutic targets in precision cardiovascular medicine.",

Although cell-based therapies have shown promise in preclinical models, clinical translation has yielded modest and inconsistent outcomes. Accumulating evidence suggests that therapeutic failure reflects not only limitations in cell source or differentiation potential, but also the hostile biochemical and biomechanical microenvironment of the degenerative disc. Hypoxia, nutrient deprivation, acidity, lactate accumulation, fibrosis, senescence, inflammation, and abnormal mechanical loading collectively impair cell survival, integration, and long-term function. We performed a comprehensive review of the literature using PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, with emphasis on studies published between 2020 and 2026. Evidence was critically evaluated to examine advances in cell-based therapies for IVDD, including cell sources, mechanisms of repair, biomaterial-assisted delivery systems, microenvironment-targeted strategies, translational studies, and emerging technologies that enhance regenerative efficacy. Current evidence indicates that successful disc regeneration depends not only on selecting an appropriate therapeutic cell source but also on overcoming the biological constraints imposed by the degenerative niche. We critically compare the regenerative potential of mesenchymal stromal cells, nucleus pulposus cells, and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived therapies, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations. We further discuss how biomaterial carriers, extracellular vesicles, developmental biology-guided differentiation, genetic engineering, preconditioning approaches, and smart delivery platforms are being integrated to improve cell survival, phenotype stability, extracellular matrix restoration, and functional repair. Future success in intervertebral disc regeneration will require integrated therapeutic strategies that combine optimized cell sources with biomaterial-assisted delivery, microenvironment modulation, and precision bioengineering. Advancing these complementary approaches will be essential for achieving durable biological repair, restoring disc structure and function, and translating regenerative therapies into effective clinical treatments for patients with degenerative disc disease.",

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption is a central mechanism associated with cognitive impairment in chronic kidney disease. The objectives of this study were to characterize the influence of AKI on brain alteration and BBB permeability in a preclinical model. We performed a mouse model of unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury without or with AKI (obtained by removing the contralateral kidney before ischemia). All animals were 7-week-old male C57Bl/6J mice, randomly assigned to groups: AKI, kidney ischemia-reperfusion alone, or control. We assessed neurologic impairment using the modified neurologic severity score and motricity evaluations, quantified BBB disruption by cerebral extravasation of Evans blue and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging with Gallium-68 diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (68Ga-DTPA), and performed immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy on brain sections. In mice with AKI, we found neurologic impairment, decreased spontaneous motricity, and cerebral extravasation of Evans blue, which were not observed in mice with renal ischemia-reperfusion without nephrectomy. Cerebral 68Ga-DTPA PET/CT imaging with imaging confirmed the BBB disruption. In addition, we observed more extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelial cells by electron microscopy in AKI mice compared with controls. AKI-induced neurologic complications are associated with an early increase in BBB permeability and transcytosis of extracellular vesicles in cerebral endothelium.",

Probiotics and postbiotics represent promising preclinical candidates to alleviate these unmet clinical bottlenecks. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) are naturally secreted bacterial nanovesicles carrying abundant bioactive cargos, whose bioactivity and safety are highly strain-dependent. Probiotics-derived BEVs can remodel gut homeostasis, repair epithelial barriers, and regulate mucosal immunity to suppress the inflammatory vicious cycle in IBD, while pathogen-/pathobiont-derived BEVs loaded with lipopolysaccharide and virulence factors exacerbate intestinal inflammation. Native BEVs are restricted by low cargo loading, poor gastrointestinal stability and inadequate colon tropism. Rational engineering strategies, including surface modification, self-loading hybridization, genetic manipulation, and pH-responsive coating, can optimize the therapeutic performance of BEVs. This review systematically summarizes BEVs biological mechanisms, engineering approaches, and translational obstacles and outlines prospects for the design of intelligent multifunctional BEVs and standardized large-scale manufacturing as future directions, providing theoretical support for oral BEVs nanotherapies against IBD.",

BEVs can cross the blood-brain barrier, deliver bioactive cargo to host cells, and participate in disease processes. Notably, BEVs exhibit a functional dichotomy in which pathogen-derived BEVs promote neuropathology while probiotic-derived and engineered BEVs exert protective effects.

Growing evidence suggests that AD may also be considered a metabolic disorder closely associated with insulin resistance (IR). Impaired insulin signaling disrupts the PI3K/Akt and GSK3-\u03b2 pathways, resulting in synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and aberrant protein phosphorylation. Moreover, IR contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). These metabolic alterations, together with impaired energy homeostasis, dysregulate intracellular signaling cascades and exacerbate amyloid and tau pathology. This narrative review examines the mechanistic interplay among insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in AD, with particular emphasis on the shared cellular pathways that underlie disease progression. In addition, it summarizes emerging therapeutic strategies targeting insulin signaling, including pharmacological insulin-sensitizing agents, incretin-based therapies, lifestyle interventions, and bioactive natural compounds. The review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy.

Stem cells represent a promising platform for developing cell-based therapies due to their biological characteristics, which enable the delivery of antitumoral agents. Still, there are some limitations, such as invasive delivery methods to overcome the blood-brain barrier, and the need for repeated administration, among others. Here, we propose a cellular therapy based on a stable adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell line (Ad-MSC) genetically engineered to express the therapeutic genes tGAS1 and PTEN-L, tumor suppressors that interfere with signaling pathways associated with glioblastoma growth and survival, under tetracycline regulation. The therapeutic strategy was evaluated in both in vitro and in vivo glioblastoma models, with engineered Ad-MSCs administered intranasally in vivo to target glioblastoma tumors. The therapeutic system showed tropism toward intracranially implanted tumors, inducible expression and release of tGAS1 and PTEN-L, and a significant reduction in tumor volume (p < 0.0001). Thus, our data indicates that intranasal administration of Ad-MSC expressing inducible tGAS1 and PTEN-L, represents a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of therapies for glioblastoma.",

Many components of MSC-derived EVs, including cytokines, antimicrobial peptides, and miRNAs have been implicated in their anti-inflammatory effects. However, a major gap in our knowledge of using MSC as a therapeutic intervention for people with CF (pwCF) is whether the CF airway environment compromises miRNA cargo in hBM-MSC-derived EVs. To assess this, hBM-MSCs were exposed to cell culture media (control) or to bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from pwCF or healthy controls (HC) and compositional analysis of EV miRNA content was conducted. Thirteen miRNAs (each \u22651% of the total miRNA content) were identified that collectively account for \u223c70% of the miRNA content of EVs. These miRNAs were remarkably stable across treatments. To infer potential therapeutic effects, we identified predicted gene targets of these miRNAs and performed pathway enrichment analysis. Gene pathway analysis revealed that many of the 13 miRNAs are predicted to inhibit TLR signaling, NF-\u03baB activation, TGF-\u03b2-mediated fibrosis, and cytokine production. These results indicate that miRNAs secreted by hBM-MSCs in EVs may contribute to the observed anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in experimental models and that exposure to CF BALF does not significantly diminish the abundance of the 13 miRNAs.",

However, approximately half of the FTD patients are sporadic without a clear genetic background. To compare characteristics of microglia from different FTD subtypes, we generated induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia (iMG) from sporadic and C9-HRE-carrying behavioral variant FTD (bvFTD) patients and healthy controls. C9-HRE iMG displayed C9-HRE-associated RNA foci and dipeptide repeat proteins. All bvFTD iMG had fewer LAMP2-A-positive vesicles compared to control iMG. Additionally, C9-HRE iMG showed significantly increased LC3BII/I conversion after bafilomycin A1 treatment and altered phagocytic activity. The gene expression profile of C9-HRE iMG only modestly differed from the control iMG, but was greatly different from the sporadic bvFTD patient iMG.

One preclinical study demonstrated that ivermectin lengthened lifespan within a mouse model of mSOD1 genetic ALS. This finding has not been replicated. The 2 PALS we found who had data comparing ALSFRS-R progression on and off ivermectin appeared to have no benefit from it. We found no trials of ivermectin in PALS.

However, rapid inactivation and low colonization efficiency caused by intestinal peristalsis and impaired mucosa severely restrict its therapeutic outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) exhibit excellent mucus-penetrating ability that enables them to reach deep intestinal crypts. Subsequently, EVs directly deliver repair signals to intestinal epithelial cells and immune cells, effectively promoting intestinal mucosal repair. In this study, we prepared stemness-associated mouse embryonic fibroblast-derived extruded nanovesicles (sMEF-eNVs) via small-molecule intervention and three-dimensional (3D) culture. The prepared sMEF-eNVs displayed nanoscale morphology, EV-associated phenotype expression, and physicochemical features consistent with those of EVs. In a DSS-induced mouse model of UC, sMEF-eNVs improved epithelial barrier integrity, increased tight-junction and mucus-associated barrier signals, and attenuated mucosal inflammatory responses. Combined administration of sMEF-eNVs and L. rhamnosus further alleviated disease activity, improved histological injury, modulated Th17/Treg-associated immune imbalance, and was accompanied by shifts in gut microbial composition and fecal metabolic profiles.

Herein, we developed gallium-quercetin nanoparticles (GQNPs) as an intranasally deliverable nanoplatform for multi-target ferroptosis inhibition. In vitro, GQNPs suppressed ferroptosis by coordinating iron regulation and antioxidation. Ga3 + interfered with transferrin-mediated iron uptake to restrict iron influx, while quercetin reduced oxidative stress and supported iron homeostasis, thereby decreasing ROS accumulation and improving mitochondrial function. In vivo, intranasal delivery of GQNPs effectively bypassed the blood-brain barrier to recover motor coordination and cognitive function in PD mice.

However, the molecular composition and biological interpretation of bacterial EV proteomes are heavily influenced by the isolation methods. In this study, we systematically compared ultracentrifugation (UC) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for isolating EVs from Lactobacillus reuteri, assessing their impact on EV yield, purity, and proteomic profiles. Although UC yielded significantly more EVs than SEC, it also resulted in lower purity, as evidenced by higher protein contamination and a decreased particle-to-protein ratio. In contrast, SEC improved EV purity by approximately 6.45-fold, effectively removing non-vesicular proteins. Our quantitative proteomics analysis identified 670 in UC-EVs and 858 in SEC-EVs.-- UC-EVs were primarily enriched with cytosolic metabolic enzymes, ribosomal proteins, and components associated with macromolecular complexes, indicating cosedimentation artifacts during UC. Conversely, SEC-EVs exhibited selective enrichment of membrane-associated and cell-wall-modifying proteins, reflecting their origin from envelope remodeling processes. Notably, SEC-EVs contained several proteins, including NLP/P60, peptidoglycan hydrolases, and lipoproteins linked to anti-inflammatory activities. Overall, our findings illustrate that EV proteomes are highly dependent on the isolation method and highlight SEC as a superior approach for enhancing proteomic specificity and biological interpretability in bacterial EV research.",

Interleukin-4 (IL-4) alters microglial state and secretory output; however, whether sEVs released from IL-4-treated microglia protect neurons against toxic injury, and which cargoes mediate these effects, remains unclear. Here, we investigated the protective effects of sEVs derived from the IL-4-treated HMC3 human microglial cell line in a rotenone-induced injury model in the SH-SY5Y cell line and examined the contribution of microRNA-191-5p to neuroprotection. Small RNA sequencing revealed a distinct miRNA profile in IL-4-sEVs, with microRNA-191-5p emerging as the most statistically significant upregulated candidate. Its enrichment was confirmed by RT-qPCR. PKH67-labeled sEV-associated fluorescence was detected in SH-SY5Y cells, indicating uptake of microglia-derived sEVs by recipient cells. Functionally, pretreatment with IL-4-sEVs significantly reduced rotenone-induced cell death and preserved cell morphology compared with untreated and control sEV-treated cells. To assess the contribution of microRNA-191-5p, IL-4-sEVs were loaded with a microRNA-191-5p antagomir, which reduced microRNA-191-5p levels and partially attenuated the protective effect of IL-4-sEVs. Together, these findings suggest that sEVs derived from the IL-4-treated HMC3 microglial cell line mitigate rotenone-induced injury in the SH-SY5Y cell line in\u00a0vitro and that microRNA-191-5p contributes, at least in part, to this effect.",
        "42566301": "ID: 42566301\nTitle: Proteomic analysis of plasma and extracellular vesicles from subjects with impaired vascular health.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, with atherosclerosis and formation of arterial plaques being a major underlying cause. Rupture or erosion of the plaque fibrous cap can result in thrombus formation, arterial occlusion, and a stroke or myocardial infarction. Plaque changes, and endothelial cell barrier leakiness, may result in material leakage, including proteins and fragments into plasma either directly or in extracellular vesicles (EVs). Here we report comparative LC-MS/MS analyses of plasma-derived EVs and plasma from subjects with impaired vascular status and healthy controls.\u00a0 Analysis of plasma-derived EVs detected 7228 peptides and 763 proteins, with 87 proteins being differentially-abundant with these including arterial-cell species. Sub-group analysis based on biological sex showed no statistically-significant differences for males, whereas females exhibited 8 differentially-expressed proteins. Subject age effects were minimal. Plasma analysis detected 4366 peptides and 497 proteins, with 188 proteins being significantly altered in abundance between the groups. Subgroup analysis by biological sex revealed 103 differentially-expressed proteins in females and 84 in males. No differences were detected in specific collagen fragments. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis revealed altered biological processes related to immune regulation, humoral immune response, proteolysis, and cellular components including plasma lipoprotein particle, extracellular space, and membrane-associated structures. KEGG pathway analysis emphasized enrichment of pathways linked to complement and coagulation cascades, platelet activation, focal adhesion, endocytosis, and inflammation. Together, these data illustrate the potential of LC-MS/MS to examine the role of inflammation and arterial wall cells in shaping the proteome of EVs and plasma in health and disease.",
        "42566559": "ID: 42566559\nTitle: Global trends in endothelial cell senescence research in cardiovascular diseases: A multi-tool bibliometric analysis (2001-2024).\nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, and endothelial cell senescence (EC senescence) is increasingly recognized as a key driver of vascular dysfunction and age-related cardiovascular pathology. Although recent studies have clarified the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential of EC senescence in CVDs, a dedicated bibliometric analysis of this field is still lacking. This study aimed to map the global research landscape, identify major contributors and influential sources, and reveal evolving hotspots and emerging frontiers from 2001 to 2024. Publications on EC senescence in CVDs were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) using a topic-based search strategy. Bibliometric analyses and visualizations were performed using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and the R package Bibliometrix. A total of 1679 papers were analyzed, with China and the United States collectively accounting for nearly half of the global output. Zoltan Ungvari was the most prolific author and one of the most influential co-cited researchers in this field. The journals publishing the largest number of articles in this field were the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Aging Cell, and PLOS ONE. The 5 most productive institutions were Sun Yat-sen University, the University of Oklahoma, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Semmelweis University, and Southern Medical University. High-frequency keywords identified \"oxidative stress\" and \"inflammation\" as the primary mechanistic themes. Temporal trends indicated a progressive shift in research emphasis from fundamental mechanisms to translational applications. This study shows that research in this field has grown rapidly, although a substantial translational gap remains. In the future, the integration of single-cell multi-omics and artificial intelligence may help accelerate the clinical translation of senolytics and extracellular vesicle-based therapies.",
        "42567397": "ID: 42567397\nTitle: Cellular senescence in posterior segment neovascular diseases: A proposed feed-forward amplification model.\nAbstract: Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) continue to be significant contributors to permanent visual impairment. Although anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy has substantially improved disease management, recurrent neovascularization, persistent leakage, incomplete treatment response, subretinal fibrosis in nAMD, and fibrovascular membrane formation or tractional complications in PDR indicate that disease progression involves mechanisms beyond VEGF signaling alone. Cellular senescence-a stress-induced condition marked by persistent cell-cycle arrest, altered stress responses, and context-dependent senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) activity-has been identified as a potential pathogenic amplifier in posterior-segment neovascular diseases. Chronic oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, hypoxia, metabolic dysfunction, and inflammation in the retina and choroid may induce senescence-associated or senescence-like remodeling in retinal pigment epithelial cells, M\u00fcller glia, endothelial cells, and pericytes. Nonetheless, conclusive evidence of bona fide cellular senescence in human ocular tissues remains scarce and varies markedly across cell types and disease contexts. This review integrates direct experimental evidence, marker-based observations, and inferred mechanistic insights to delineate a proposed, evidence-based senescence-associated feed-forward amplification model. In this model, chronic pathological stress may initiate or reinforce senescence-related programs, whereas SASP factors, extracellular vesicles, and immune microenvironment remodeling may further amplify angiogenic, inflammatory, vascular, and fibrotic dysfunction. Importantly, this model should be interpreted as a hypothesis-generating, non-exclusive framework rather than a fully established causal pathway. We also compare disease-specific features of nAMD and PDR, discuss methodological challenges in defining retinal senescence, and evaluate the translational potential and safety concerns of senolytics and SASP-modulating strategies as adjuncts to anti-VEGF therapy. Rather than presenting cellular senescence as a fully established causal driver, this review frames senescence-associated remodeling as a context-dependent, evidence-stratified amplifying component within this proposed feed-forward framework.",

Classical signalling via membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) is often associated with homeostatic and reparative functions, whereas trans-signalling, mediated by soluble IL-6R, expands IL-6 responsiveness to gp130-expressing cells and may promote chronic inflammation. Emerging evidence implicates dysregulated IL-6 trans-signalling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Here, we review mechanisms linking IL-6 trans-signalling to immune, glial, neuronal, and vascular dysfunction in neurodegeneration. We highlight key knowledge gaps and discuss whether selective targeting of trans-signalling can limit inflammatory pathology while preserving beneficial classical IL-6 functions.",
        "42570773": "ID: 42570773\nTitle: A conceptual framework linking platelet activation, adaptive FGF21-GDF15 signaling, and islet vascular dysfunction in progressive \u03b2-cell failure of type 2 diabetes.\nAbstract: Platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction, and stress-responsive endocrine signaling have emerged as important components of the complex biological processes underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), extending beyond the classical concepts of glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity. This review proposes a hypothesis-generating conceptual framework in which platelet activation, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) represent partly independent yet biologically interconnected stress-response pathways that may converge within the pancreatic islet microenvironment during disease progression. Activated platelets contribute to vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction through soluble mediators and extracellular vesicles, whereas FGF21 and GDF15 are induced by oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and activation of integrated cellular stress responses as adaptive endocrine signals that promote mitochondrial homeostasis, endothelial integrity, and cellular resilience. Under persistent metabolic stress, sustained vascular injury, impaired adaptive signaling, and progressive endothelial dysfunction may collectively reduce the capacity of these protective mechanisms to preserve \u03b2-cell function. Rather than representing a proven transition point, the pancreatic islet microenvironment is proposed as a biologically plausible convergence site where vascular injury, adaptive endocrine responses, and intrinsic \u03b2-cell stress may interact. Although direct mechanistic evidence linking these pathways remains limited, this conceptual framework integrates current experimental and clinical evidence, identifies important mechanistic knowledge gaps, and provides a foundation for future mechanistic studies, integrated biomarker development, disease stratification, and precision medicine strategies in T2DM.",
        "42570971": "ID: 42570971\nTitle: Brain-targeted intranasal aripiprazole via modified chitosan nanoparticles: controlled release, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics.\nAbstract: Schizophrenia remains one of the most disabling mental disorders, and effective therapy is still limited by the difficulty of delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier. Aripiprazole (Ari), a first-line atypical antipsychotic, exhibits restricted clinical performance due to poor solubility, extensive hepatic metabolism, and limited brain exposure. Herein, a novel intranasal nanocarrier system was developed to enable direct and sustained delivery of Ari to the brain. Chitosan nanoparticles (Cs-NPs) surface-modified with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were prepared by the ionic gelation method and optimized using a Box-Behnken design to evaluate the effects of SDS concentration, pH, and chitosan-to-tripolyphosphate ratio on particle size, zeta potential, and drug entrapment. The optimized formulation showed a mean particle size of ~\u2009200\u00a0nm, a positive surface charge, and an entrapment efficiency of 76.98\u2009\u00b1\u20097.6%. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed spherical morphology, while the in vitro release profile exhibited an initial burst followed by a sustained phase, indicating controlled-release behavior. Pharmacokinetic evaluation using LC-MS/MS revealed significantly enhanced Ari bioavailability and brain uptake following intranasal administration of the optimized Cs-NPs compared with oral, intravenous, and intranasal solutions. Pharmacodynamic testing in a ketamine-induced psychosis rat model (open-field and forced-swim tests) demonstrated improved antipsychotic efficacy. Neurochemical analysis showed restoration of dopamine and \u03b3-aminobutyric acid levels, while histopathological findings confirmed structural improvement in hippocampal and cortical regions. Collectively, these results highlight the potential of modified Cs-NPs as a controlled-release, nose-to-brain delivery platform that enhances the therapeutic performance of Ari for the management of schizophrenia.",

Severe inflammation and significant degenerative changes are often associated with the condition, and current clinical treatments remain inadequate. In this study, we focus on pyroptosis and engineered the camouflage protein (GSDMD-C) attached to the membrane surface of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs)-sEV-p. sEV-p has two key effects: firstly, the inherent immunomodulatory and nutritional support properties of sEVs promote the recovery of cellular function under pathological conditions; secondly, camouflage protein bind to the activated caspase-1, reducing the cleavage of endogenous GSDMD. The therapeutic effects of sEV-p were evaluated through in vitro experiments and treatment of TMJ-OA models in mice and Bama pigs. We further elucidated the mechanisms by single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. Results show that sEV-p alleviates the abnormal activation of inflammatory factors induced by pyroptosis, accompanied by a reduction in the proportion of inflammatory cells and a mitigation of acute inflammatory responses.",
        "42572287": "ID: 42572287\nTitle: Generation of mutant human SOD1 knock-in mouse lines at the Rosa26 locus as a platform for developing genome-editing therapies for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in progressive paralysis and death within a few years of symptom onset. Although current treatments modestly slow the disease progression, effective disease-modifying and curative therapies remain an urgent unmet need. SOD1 mutations are one of the major genetic causes of familial ALS. The p.Leu127Ser (L126S) and p.Gly94Ser (G93S) variants are clinically relevant pathogenic variants for which appropriate animal models are needed for preclinical evaluation of gene-editing therapies. However, most existing SOD1 models rely on high copy overexpression of mutant SOD1. Therefore, animal models carrying a single copy mutant human SOD1 allele are required for evaluating the in vivo efficacy of genome editing therapies. Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed repair to generate a knock-in mouse line at the Gt(ROSA)26Sor (Rosa26) locus carrying a single-copy, 11-kb human SOD1 genomic fragment, including all exons and introns, with the L126S mutation. The Rosa26-hSOD1L126S mice did not develop ALS-like phenotypes during the limited observation period. However, they faithfully retained a single-copy mutant human SOD1 genomic allele, providing a valuable preclinical platform for evaluating genome-editing therapies. We also generated Rosa26-hSOD1G93S mice carrying the SOD1 G93S mutation with comparable efficiency. Together, these mutant human SOD1 knock-in mouse lines provide a versatile and clinically relevant platform for the preclinical evaluation of genome-editing therapies targeting heterozygous SOD1 mutations.",
        "42572437": "ID: 42572437\nTitle: Extracellular Vesicles in Reproductive Physiology and Pathology.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-bound nanostructures that play important roles in reproduction as universal mediators of bidirectional cell-to-cell communication. EVs transfer diverse cargoes between reproductive cells, influencing fundamental reproductive processes such as gametogenesis and pregnancy. In the male reproductive tract, specialized EVs such as epididymosomes and prostasomes regulate sperm activation, motility, and capacitation, exerting some of these effects within the female reproductive tract as well. In the female reproductive tract, EVs found in follicular fluid, oviduct, and uterus aid in oocyte maturation, fertilization, and the vital embryo development and embryo-maternal crosstalk necessary for successful implantation, including after in vitro fertilization. With advancing gestation, EVs continue to play crucial roles in mediating communication between maternal, placental and fetal compartments with the ultimate aim of promoting immunotolerance and development of the allogeneic fetus. Focusing on the human reproductive system, development of obstetric conditions such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes is marked by a significant increase in EV release and systemic impacts, including endothelial dysregulation, perturbation of metabolic homeostasis and disruption to the blood-brain barrier. Disruption of EV-mediated signaling is linked to reproductive pathologies, but detailed etiologies are not yet defined. Importantly, EVs offer an exciting avenue for both biomarker discovery and therapeutic applications. Our advancing understanding of how EVs deliver their molecular cargo and influence gene expression in recipient cells holds promise for manipulating these processes and improving the diagnosis and treatment of infertility and pregnancy complications.",
        "42574960": "ID: 42574960\nTitle: An immunomodulatory hydrogel encapsulating dental follicle stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles promotes neutrophil clearance and periodontal bone regeneration.\nAbstract: Periodontitis, characterized by progressive alveolar bone resorption and periodontal defect formation, remains a major clinical challenge driven by bacterial infection and a dysregulated inflammatory immune microenvironment. Neutrophils, as the predominant innate immune cells, accumulate at infected sites to eliminate microbes but concurrently suppress osteoblast function, thereby impairing bone formation and accelerating alveolar bone loss. Lipopolysaccharide-preconditioned dental follicle stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (L-DFSC-sEV) exhibit potent immunomodulatory activity, facilitating the clearance of proinflammatory neutrophils and attenuating neutrophil hyperactivation, and reshaping the periodontal immunoregulatory microenvironment. However, the therapeutic efficacy of sEV is often hindered by the hostile infectious and inflammatory environment, as well as the lack of an appropriate delivery system tailored to periodontal conditions. To overcome these limitations, we developed a multifunctional, dynamically cross-linked hydrogel comprising gelatin, oxidized chondroitin sulfate, and epigallocatechin gallate at physiological pH, which encapsulates L-DFSC-sEV (L-DFSC-sEV@GCSE). This hydrogel exhibits excellent tissue adhesion, self-healing capability, antibacterial activity, and immunoregulatory properties, thereby creating a favorable microenvironment for sustained sEV release. In a rat periodontal defect model, L-DFSC-sEV@GCSE markedly enhanced sEV retention and delivery, effectively controlled infection and inflammation, modulated the osteoimmune microenvironment, and significantly promoted periodontal tissue regeneration.",
        "42575454": "ID: 42575454\nTitle: Differential consequences of traumatic brain injury in male rat hippocampus hemispheres and the beneficial effect of neuropeptide Y.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a complex cascade of secondary injury mechanisms, including neurovascular dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and glial activation, which progressively contribute to long-term neurological deficits. Although the primary mechanical insult is typically unilateral, secondary pathological processes can extend beyond the impact site. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of these bilateral alterations remains poorly understood. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous neuromodulator with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising candidate for limiting secondary brain injury. Here, we characterized the bilateral hippocampal response to experimental TBI and evaluated whether early intranasal NPY administration post-TBI attenuates neurovascular and neuroinflammatory alterations while improving behavioral outcomes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a closed-head weight-drop model of TBI and treated intranasally with NPY (100\u202f\u03bcg/animal) or vehicle 30\u202fmin after injury. Molecular, histological, and behavioral analyses were performed 48\u202fh and 7\u202fdays post-injury. We concluded that TBI induced distinct spatiotemporal pathological responses in the hippocampi. The ipsilateral hippocampus exhibited early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and astrocytic alterations, whereas the contralateral hippocampus developed a more pronounced and sustained inflammatory response characterized by microglial activation and increased expression of inflammatory and endothelial activation markers. Early intranasal NPY administration attenuated these bilateral pathological alterations by preserving BBB integrity, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, and normalizing glial morphology. These neurobiological effects were accompanied by improvements in spatial working memory and anxiety-related behaviors. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that unilateral TBI induces distinct bilateral secondary injury responses within the hippocampus and identify early intranasal NPY administration as a promising strategy. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and establish the long-term therapeutic potential of NPY.",

Current treatment options for this potentially life-threatening disorder include either high-dose immunosuppressants or liver transplantation (for late-stage patients). However, these options are risky and can lead to long-term complications. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel treatment strategies for AIH. Therapeutic approaches based on mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) and their derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as a viable treatment option for AIH because of their potent immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. This review outlines the recent developments in the use of these therapies for the treatment of AIH. The use of EVs as vehicles for the delivery of therapeutic drugs or miRNAs is also discussed. In addition, we discuss the various efforts that have been made to improve the efficacy of such therapies, including their genetic modification and combination with anti-inflammatory drugs. Finally, we proposed several directions for future research aimed at developing MSCs and MSC-derived EVs for clinical applications.",
        "42576582": "ID: 42576582\nTitle: Dysfunctional Crosstalk in Ischemic Stroke: Exploring Network Failure and Emerging Communication Pathways.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke damages complex, interconnected communication networks in addition to causing the destructive collapse of cells. All elements of the neurovascular unit (NVU), including the often disregarded glycocalyx and invading peripheral immune cells, interact dynamically and frequently contradict one another in their pathophysiological processes, which extend beyond neurons. This paper reviews developments in intercellular communication pathways that regulate brain injury and repair after cerebral ischemia. The intricate signaling networks among neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes, and lymphocytes were comprehensively analyzed. This review goes beyond conventional viewpoints to highlight major findings, ongoing debates, and critical research gaps associated with each interaction. This study investigated the dual nature of glial responses by analyzing diverse activation states of glial cells, the mechanisms underlying blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, including glycocalyx degradation, and the complex immunoregulatory roles of lymphocyte subsets, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), regulatory B cells (Bregs), and \u03b3\u03b4 T cells. In addition to classical soluble factor signaling, emerging communication mechanisms, including extracellular vesicles (EVs), tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), and migrasomes, were investigated, and these mechanisms may be involved in ischemic pathophysiology. Contradictory data and mechanistic evidence were assessed for every communication pathway; knowledge gaps were identified, and specific experiments were proposed to resolve these uncertainties. Finally, these observations were integrated into a discussion of advanced therapeutic approaches based on network modulation. This review offers a potential framework for discovering new system-based treatment targets targeted at rewiring harmful crosstalk and fostering strong neurological recovery by characterizing ischemic stroke as a progressive failure of intercellular communication.",
        "42576610": "ID: 42576610\nTitle: Myokines, Microbiota, and Neuroinflammation: Physical Activity Modulates the Gut-Brain Axis.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are increasingly recognized as disorders influenced not only by intrinsic neural pathology but also by systemic physiological networks, including the gut-brain axis. Emerging evidence highlights physical activity as a potent modulator of this bidirectional communication system, with muscle-derived signals particularly myokines, metabolites, and extracellular vesicles playing a central role. This narrative review synthesizes current knowledge on how exercise-induced molecular mediators influence gut microbiota composition, intestinal barrier integrity, immune signaling, and neuroinflammatory pathways. Findings were integrated across the disciplines of neuroscience, microbiology, and exercise physiology to evaluate mechanistic links between muscle-secreted factors and gut-mediated responses. Mechanistic links exist between muscle-secreted factors such as irisin, cathepsin B, BDNF-inducing pathways, and lactate with microbial metabolites including short-chain fatty acids. These interacting pathways demonstrate a combined impact on neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity, and the modulation of disease progression in neurodegenerative conditions. Physical activity represents a promising non-pharmacological strategy for modulating the gut-brain axis in neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding the interplay between muscle-derived signals and gut-mediated pathways may open new avenues for targeted interventions aimed at slowing or preventing neurodegenerative decline.",
        "42576814": "ID: 42576814\nTitle: Exosome-based nanomedicine for neurological disorders: mechanisms, engineering, and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This review highlights recent advances in exosome biology, cargo-sorting mechanisms, and engineering strategies designed to enhance therapeutic delivery and targeting within the central nervous system. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of engineered exosomes in neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, spinal cord injury, neuropathic pain, and neuroinflammatory disorders. In addition, we discuss how exosomes compare with conventional delivery platforms and critically examine the major barriers limiting their clinical translation, including heterogeneity, scalability, reproducibility, purity, and regulatory standardization. By integrating mechanistic insights with translational perspectives, this review provides a framework for the rational design and future clinical implementation of exosome-based nanomedicines for neurological disorders. Relevant literature was identified through searches of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Publications available from database inception through [Month Year] were screened using combinations of keywords including \"exosomes,\" \"extracellular vesicles,\" \"neurological disorders,\" \"brain-targeted delivery,\" \"exosome engineering,\" \"drug delivery,\" and \"clinical trials.\" Additional relevant articles were identified through manual searches of reference lists from selected studies and recent reviews. Exosomes are tiny natural particles released by cells that act as messengers, carrying proteins and genetic material between cells. Scientists are increasingly studying these particles because they may help deliver medicines to the brain and spinal cord, where many treatments struggle to reach due to protective barriers. This review explains how exosomes are formed, how they can be modified to carry drugs or therapeutic molecules, and how they may help treat diseases affecting the nervous system, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and certain neuropsychiatric disorders.We also discuss the advantages of exosomes compared with conventional drug delivery systems and summarize recent advances in engineering strategies that improve their targeting abilities. Although laboratory studies have produced encouraging results, many challenges remain before exosome-based therapies can become routine treatments. These include difficulties related to large-scale production, quality control, safety, and ensuring that exosomes reach the desired tissues without causing unwanted effects.In addition, this review highlights current clinical studies and discusses the steps needed to translate these discoveries into real-world therapies. Overall, exosomes represent an exciting and rapidly evolving area of research that may contribute to the development of safer and more effective treatments for neurological disorders in the future."
