ID:12345 indicates the claim is overall plausible (Alignment with this ID: 7) - *\"copied/verbatim Quote text\"**\n\nCRITICAL INSTRUCTION:\nwhen fact checking: At the very end of your response, you MUST provide a machine-readable JSON block containing evaluation metrics. \nIt MUST be enclosed exactly between ###JSON_START### and ###JSON_END###. Ensure the JSON is valid. \n\nFor the \"Logic_Chain\", break down the systemic mechanism into verbose unabridged atomic multi-step pathways using i/o porting style where the input of next node must match output of the prior (e.g., A -> B, B->C, C->D). Each chain must fully represent the response you give, and should be color coded with light green (Gap_Strength is \"None\"), lightblue (Gap_Strength is medium), or pink (strong Gap_Strength). Logic_Chain MUST be a JSON array of objects. Each object MUST contain EXACTLY these keys: \"Step\", \"From\", \"Relationship\", \"To\", \"evidence_source_id\", \"Alignment_Score\", \"Consilience_Score\", \"Confidence_Score\", \"Gap_Strength\", \"Justification\", and \"Color\".

We will programmatically validate these. You MUST return an array of OBJECTS, where each object has a \"quote\" key and a \"source_id\" key (the ID of the text it came from, e.g., the ID). 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.

This narrative review examines four mechanistically distinct compounds, namely spermidine, fisetin, berberine, and urolithin A, as emerging functional food ingredients with scientifically supported effects on key hallmarks of human aging. Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies. Fisetin, a flavonoid from strawberries and apples, exerts senolytic activity by selectively eliminating senescent cells via PI3K/AKT and Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibition, with emerging clinical evidence. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid from Berberis species, modulates metabolic dysfunction via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and reshapes gut microbiota composition through direct high intraluminal exposure, with the most extensive clinical dataset of the four compounds. Urolithin A, a gut microbiome-derived postbiotic from ellagitannins in pomegranates and nuts, induces mitophagy via PINK1/Parkin and has been evaluated in a growing number of registered human clinical trials. Together, the four compounds primarily target distinct but complementary aging-associated pathways (autophagy, senolysis, metabolic regulation, mitophagy), suggesting rational potential for combined functional food formulations. Limited direct evidence for their combined use and the need for dedicated co-administration studies are discussed, alongside bioavailability, safety, and regulatory considerations."

Unlike canonical translation, repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of a GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) within an intron of the C9orf72 locus leads to the synthesis of neurotoxic dipeptide-repeat (DPR) proteins, contributing to the pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (C9-ALS/FTD). However, it remains unclear whether aberrant RAN translation is monitored and regulated co-translationally or how C9orf72 HRE (C9-HRE) mRNA is degraded during this process. Here, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA. During this process, the RNA exosome engages the translating ribosome-C9-HRE mRNA complex to mediate RAN translation-coupled mRNA decay. Moreover, overexpression of EXOSC3, a key subunit of the RNA exosome cap, promotes RAN translation-coupled decay of C9-HRE mRNA and suppresses DPR production. In iPSC-derived neurons, a reduction in EXOSC3 levels blocks C9-HRE mRNA decay in a translation-dependent manner, further confirming its role in RAN translation surveillance. These findings highlight the essential function of the RNA exosome, particularly EXOSC3, in mitigating RAN translation-associated toxicity and preventing pathological DPR production. This work provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies for C9-ALS/FTD and may have broader implications for other disorders involving RAN translation."

This expansion supports a non-canonical form of translational initiation known as repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation to produce toxic dipeptide repeat proteins that contribute to neurodegeneration. Here, we find that the efficiency of RAN translation and its dependency on the 5' 7-methylguanosine mRNA cap are variable across cell types, with both rodent neurons and human iNeurons favoring cap-independent RAN translation from two distinct repeats (CGG and GGGGCC) across multiple reading frames. Treatment with an eIF4E inhibitor that blocks global cap-dependent translation enhances RAN translation specifically in neurons. Intriguingly, cap-independent RAN translation exhibits less reliance on near-cognate codons for initiation than cap-dependent RAN translation. This finding led us to identify a surprising global increase in start codon stringency in neurons as a contributor to the relatively higher cap-independent RAN translation in this cell type. This effect correlates with a cytoplasmic redistribution of eIF1 in neurons and is reversed with neuronal overexpression of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF5, which relaxes start codon stringency and selectively enhances cap-dependent RAN translation. Taken together, these findings reveal several neuron-specific features of translational regulation that favor cap-independent RAN translation with implications for nucleotide repeat expansion disorder pathogenesis and neuronal translational regulation."

However, in aging and neurodegenerative diseases apoptosis is insufficient to account for all neuronal death, and several different cell death types have been reported in these contexts.

Moreover, we discuss the potential role of TMEM106B as an important modifier of the protein TDP-43 neuropathology associated with the GRN mutation in this case. The patient underwent detailed clinical assessment, serial neuropsychological evaluation, brain MRI, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, whole-exome sequencing, and next generation sequencing. A postmortem neuropathologic examination was performed to confirm the diagnosis. The patient presented slowly progressive paresthesia, cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, and later cognitive and behavioral changes. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous PRNP P102L variant and an unpenetrated GRN p.R110X variant; a protective TMEM106B polymorphism associated with TDP-43 pathology was also identified. Neuroimaging demonstrated progressive cerebellar and parietal atrophy with asymmetric left frontal opercular and insular involvement. The clinical course was dominated by a cerebellar GSS phenotype. The patient died 4 years after symptom onset. Neuropathology confirmed GSS, nevertheless without detectable TDP-43-associated neuropathology. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of rare neurodegenerative disorders and illustrates that pathogenic variants may not influence phenotypic expression. Comprehensive genetic testing should be considered in atypical cases, as certain genetic variants may contribute to phenotypic variability and represent potential modifiers of phenotypic expression."

Progranulin (PGRN) constitutes a pleiotropic growth factor involved in neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, and tissue repair, which has not been adequately studied in iNPH. The purpose of this study was to examine the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of PGRN in corresponding patients with suspected iNPH and its correlation with integrated clinical, functional, and neuroradiological parameters. Methods: Thirteen patients with probable iNPH underwent an evaluation protocol, including clinical assessment, neuroradiological evaluation, Tap-test with concomitant gait analysis, and paired serum/CSF sampling. PGRN concentrations in biofluids were measured by ELISA. Correlation analyses were performed. Composite Tap-test response variable derived from quantitative gait-improvement indices was modeled using ridge-logistic regression with leave-one-out cross-validation. Results: In the between-group analyses, serum and CSF concentrations of PGRN were not correlated (r = -0.10, p = 0.74), suggesting that peripheral and intrathecal PGRN behave as non-redundant, compartment-specific readouts rather than as interchangeable measures of the same biological process. Higher CSF concentration of PGRN was nominally associated with older age (r = 0.69, p = 0.009) and with poorer turning-time improvement after the Tap-test (r = -0.62, p = 0.025), while serum concentration of PGRN showed no meaningful associations with clinical or neuroradiological variables. In the model of logistic regression, inclusion of CSF concentration of PGRN substantially improved discrimination of Tap-test response. The full ridge-logistic regression model, including serum and CSF concentration of PGRN, symptom duration, and Kiefer score, achieved an accuracy of 0.923 and an AUC of 0.881. The CSF concentration of PGRN coefficient remained consistently negative across bootstrap resamples (penalized OR 0.434; 95% CI: 0.354-0.697), indicating that higher baseline CSF concentration of PGRN was associated with a lower probability of significant short-term Tap-test response, whereas serum PGRN contributed negligibly to the model. Conclusions: The observed changes in PGRN in CSF may reflect compartment-specific intrathecal inflammatory or tissue-stress processes and may help identify patients with lower short-term responsiveness to CSF drainage. These findings support further longitudinal evaluation of CSF concentration of PGRN for biological stratification and prognostic refinement in iNPH."

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."

Despite advances in antiseizure medications, effective epilepsy management remains challenging because of pharmacoresistance, limited blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, inadequate intracerebral drug accumulation, and systemic toxicity. Moreover, currently available therapies primarily provide symptomatic seizure control without addressing the fundamental pathological processes involved in epileptogenesis, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal degeneration. Intranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways. In this context, biodegradable nanomedicine platforms have gained considerable attention due to their favorable biocompatibility, controlled drug release, enhanced mucosal permeation, and potential for targeted intracerebral delivery. This review provides a comprehensive and critical overview of recent advances in intranasal biodegradable nanomedicine for epilepsy, integrating current knowledge on disease pathophysiology, biological and pharmaceutical barriers, nose-to-brain transport mechanisms, biodegradable nanoparticle platforms, and emerging functionalization strategies. Importantly, the review critically evaluates the current evidence, distinguishing encouraging preclinical findings and discusses the major translational challenges that continue to hinder clinical implementation. Finally, future perspectives are highlighted to identify opportunities for developing safer, more effective, and clinically translatable therapies for epilepsy management."

Here we identify a time-dependent exhaustion of stress granule (SG)-associated lysosomal repair during sustained infection: progressive depletion of core SG components, including G3BP1 and galectin-3 (Gal-3), undermines lysosomal membrane resealing, resulting in lysosomal deacidification and persistent cytosolic acidification. This pH imbalance suppresses glycolytic metabolism and blunts macrophage pro-inflammatory antibacterial programs, thereby enabling intracellular bacterial persistence. Since this exhausted repair module cannot be readily reconstituted by conventional pharmacological or genetic approaches, we engineer biomimetic stress granules (BSGs), Gal-3-functionalized nanodiscs cloaked in acid-responsive fusogen-expressing macrophage membrane vesicles (Gal3-NDs@EF-MNVs), to achieve sequential targeting and cytosolic delivery to damaged lysosomes. BSGs stabilize membrane lesions, suppress lysosomal leakage and restore lysosomal acidification, pH homeostasis and metabolic fitness, thereby recapitulating the 'plugging' behavior of native stress granules at sites of membrane injury. This work establishes biomimetic organelle repair as a general, materials-driven paradigm to restore innate immunity against intracellular infections - without escalating antibiotics or genetic manipulation."

The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS."

Among these DPRs, arginine-containing proteins, poly-GR and poly-PR, are toxic in the nervous system, but whether DPRs in skeletal muscle contribute to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis is unclear. Here, we show that muscle-restricted expression of poly-GR drives motor deficits in mice, including muscle atrophy and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) deficits. Poly-GR in muscle interacted with the NMJ key organizer MuSK and promoted MuSK degradation, disrupting postsynaptic structure and impairing neuromuscular transmission. Importantly, a MuSK agonist antibody (X-17) stabilized NMJs and rescued neuromuscular transmission. Moreover, poly-GR in muscle activated the integrated stress response (ISR), elevating eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and broadly suppressing protein translation. ISR inhibition with ISRIB restored translation and MuSK protein levels and ameliorated both muscle atrophy and NMJ deficits. These findings demonstrate that skeletal muscle actively contributes to C9orf72-ALS pathology. Targeting muscle with ISRIB offers a therapeutic strategy to preserve motor function in C9orf72-ALS."

We previously demonstrated that A\u03b2 is produced from APP following its lysosomal internalization via macropinocytosis. However, the regulation of APP macropinocytosis in neuronal cells remained uncharacterized. Arf6 and the Rho GTPases Rac1, Cdc42 and RhoA are known to regulate macropinocytosis in response to signaling at the cell surface. Fe65, an adaptor protein known to interact with APP, may link APP to these regulatory elements. We hypothesized that APP binding/crosslinking recruits Fe65, which recruits/activates Arf6 and then Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA, driving APP macropinocytosis. We found that antibody-mediated binding/crosslinking APP resulted in the transient recruitment of Fe65 and Arf6 to APP within 30 s of APP binding/crosslinking. Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA were also recruited at 30 s, but remained recruited through 2 min. The mutation of the APP 'YENPTY' sequence and Arf6 inhibition by NAV-2729 prevented the recruitment of Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA. Together, these observations are the first to demonstrate that a network of regulatory proteins is recruited to bound/crosslinked APP and regulates its macropinocytosis. Targeting these regulatory proteins to modulate APP trafficking to the lysosome could be a therapeutic strategy to reduce A\u03b2 production in AD."

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."

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.

This study investigated the effects of cholesterol overload on human Ether-\u00e0-go-go-Related Gene (hERG/Kv11.1; encoded by KCNH2) potassium channels and L-type calcium channels (LTCC; mainly Cav1.2/CACNA1C in cardiomyocytes), as well as the underlying mechanisms of acLQTS-related cardiotoxicity, using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), whole-cell patch clamp, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, fluorescence imaging, and a high-cholesterol diet guinea pig model with rosuvastatin intervention combined with optical mapping. The results showed that transient cholesterol exposure inhibited hERG tail current amplitude and accelerated channel inactivation, with the effect showing a Y652-dependent component, while also enhancing LTCC activity. Mechanistically, cholesterol overload triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, impaired hERG proteostasis, and promoted ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) of hERG. This process was associated with CANX-mediated recognition of abnormal hERG and FAM134B-LC3B-related autophagic-lysosomal processing, contributing to reduced total hERG expression and membrane-localized mature hERG. FAM134B overexpression partially preserved hERG expression and attenuated cholesterol-induced ER stress/autophagy-related abnormalities. In vivo, rosuvastatin improved lipid profiles and cardiac remodeling in high-cholesterol guinea pigs but was associated with more pronounced action potential duration (APD) and QT interval prolongation under high-cholesterol conditions. These findings suggest that cholesterol overload may increase susceptibility to hERG-related repolarization abnormalities during rosuvastatin exposure and highlight the importance of cholesterol management and electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring in hypercholesterolemic settings."

This narrative review examines four mechanistically distinct compounds, namely spermidine, fisetin, berberine, and urolithin A, as emerging functional food ingredients with scientifically supported effects on key hallmarks of human aging. Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies. Fisetin, a flavonoid from strawberries and apples, exerts senolytic activity by selectively eliminating senescent cells via PI3K/AKT and Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibition, with emerging clinical evidence. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid from Berberis species, modulates metabolic dysfunction via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and reshapes gut microbiota composition through direct high intraluminal exposure, with the most extensive clinical dataset of the four compounds. Urolithin A, a gut microbiome-derived postbiotic from ellagitannins in pomegranates and nuts, induces mitophagy via PINK1/Parkin and has been evaluated in a growing number of registered human clinical trials. Together, the four compounds primarily target distinct but complementary aging-associated pathways (autophagy, senolysis, metabolic regulation, mitophagy), suggesting rational potential for combined functional food formulations. Limited direct evidence for their combined use and the need for dedicated co-administration studies are discussed, alongside bioavailability, safety, and regulatory considerations."

Tissue-specific proteostasis capacity declines with age, contributing to tissue vulnerability in elderly patients. Parallels with neurodegenerative diseases underscore selective cellular susceptibility due to proteostatic overload and metabolic stress. Evidence shows that the amino acid sequence of the amyloid protein, microenvironmental factors, and cell-intrinsic and extracellular proteostatic capacity jointly determine tissue vulnerability and resilience in amyloidosis, with relative contributions varying by amyloid protein. Identifying key determinants provides actionable targets for improving the care of systemic and localized amyloidosis."

The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS."

Despite advances in antiseizure medications, effective epilepsy management remains challenging because of pharmacoresistance, limited blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, inadequate intracerebral drug accumulation, and systemic toxicity. Moreover, currently available therapies primarily provide symptomatic seizure control without addressing the fundamental pathological processes involved in epileptogenesis, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal degeneration. Intranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways. In this context, biodegradable nanomedicine platforms have gained considerable attention due to their favorable biocompatibility, controlled drug release, enhanced mucosal permeation, and potential for targeted intracerebral delivery. This review provides a comprehensive and critical overview of recent advances in intranasal biodegradable nanomedicine for epilepsy, integrating current knowledge on disease pathophysiology, biological and pharmaceutical barriers, nose-to-brain transport mechanisms, biodegradable nanoparticle platforms, and emerging functionalization strategies. Importantly, the review critically evaluates the current evidence, distinguishing encouraging preclinical findings and discusses the major translational challenges that continue to hinder clinical implementation.

This expansion supports a non-canonical form of translational initiation known as repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation to produce toxic dipeptide repeat proteins that contribute to neurodegeneration. Here, we find that the efficiency of RAN translation and its dependency on the 5' 7-methylguanosine mRNA cap are variable across cell types, with both rodent neurons and human iNeurons favoring cap-independent RAN translation from two distinct repeats (CGG and GGGGCC) across multiple reading frames. Treatment with an eIF4E inhibitor that blocks global cap-dependent translation enhances RAN translation specifically in neurons. Intriguingly, cap-independent RAN translation exhibits less reliance on near-cognate codons for initiation than cap-dependent RAN translation. This finding led us to identify a surprising global increase in start codon stringency in neurons as a contributor to the relatively higher cap-independent RAN translation in this cell type. This effect correlates with a cytoplasmic redistribution of eIF1 in neurons and is reversed with neuronal overexpression of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF5, which relaxes start codon stringency and selectively enhances cap-dependent RAN translation. Taken together, these findings reveal several neuron-specific features of translational regulation that favor cap-independent RAN translation with implications for nucleotide repeat expansion disorder pathogenesis and neuronal translational regulation."

The patient underwent detailed clinical assessment, serial neuropsychological evaluation, brain MRI, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, whole-exome sequencing, and next generation sequencing. A postmortem neuropathologic examination was performed to confirm the diagnosis. The patient presented slowly progressive paresthesia, cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, and later cognitive and behavioral changes. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous PRNP P102L variant and an unpenetrated GRN p.R110X variant; a protective TMEM106B polymorphism associated with TDP-43 pathology was also identified. Neuroimaging demonstrated progressive cerebellar and parietal atrophy with asymmetric left frontal opercular and insular involvement. The clinical course was dominated by a cerebellar GSS phenotype. The patient died 4 years after symptom onset. Neuropathology confirmed GSS, nevertheless without detectable TDP-43-associated neuropathology. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of rare neurodegenerative disorders and illustrates that pathogenic variants may not influence phenotypic expression. Comprehensive genetic testing should be considered in atypical cases, as certain genetic variants may contribute to phenotypic variability and represent potential modifiers of phenotypic expression."

Progranulin (PGRN) constitutes a pleiotropic growth factor involved in neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, and tissue repair, which has not been adequately studied in iNPH. The purpose of this study was to examine the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of PGRN in corresponding patients with suspected iNPH and its correlation with integrated clinical, functional, and neuroradiological parameters. Methods: Thirteen patients with probable iNPH underwent an evaluation protocol, including clinical assessment, neuroradiological evaluation, Tap-test with concomitant gait analysis, and paired serum/CSF sampling. PGRN concentrations in biofluids were measured by ELISA. Correlation analyses were performed. Composite Tap-test response variable derived from quantitative gait-improvement indices was modeled using ridge-logistic regression with leave-one-out cross-validation. Results: In the between-group analyses, serum and CSF concentrations of PGRN were not correlated (r = -0.10, p = 0.74), suggesting that peripheral and intrathecal PGRN behave as non-redundant, compartment-specific readouts rather than as interchangeable measures of the same biological process. Higher CSF concentration of PGRN was nominally associated with older age (r = 0.69, p = 0.009) and with poorer turning-time improvement after the Tap-test (r = -0.62, p = 0.025), while serum concentration of PGRN showed no meaningful associations with clinical or neuroradiological variables. In the model of logistic regression, inclusion of CSF concentration of PGRN substantially improved discrimination of Tap-test response. The full ridge-logistic regression model, including serum and CSF concentration of PGRN, symptom duration, and Kiefer score, achieved an accuracy of 0.923 and an AUC of 0.881. The CSF concentration of PGRN coefficient remained consistently negative across bootstrap resamples (penalized OR 0.434; 95% CI: 0.354-0.697), indicating that higher baseline CSF concentration of PGRN was associated with a lower probability of significant short-term Tap-test response, whereas serum PGRN contributed negligibly to the model. Conclusions: The observed changes in PGRN in CSF may reflect compartment-specific intrathecal inflammatory or tissue-stress processes and may help identify patients with lower short-term responsiveness to CSF drainage. These findings support further longitudinal evaluation of CSF concentration of PGRN for biological stratification and prognostic refinement in iNPH."

Among these DPRs, arginine-containing proteins, poly-GR and poly-PR, are toxic in the nervous system, but whether DPRs in skeletal muscle contribute to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis is unclear. Here, we show that muscle-restricted expression of poly-GR drives motor deficits in mice, including muscle atrophy and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) deficits. Poly-GR in muscle interacted with the NMJ key organizer MuSK and promoted MuSK degradation, disrupting postsynaptic structure and impairing neuromuscular transmission. Importantly, a MuSK agonist antibody (X-17) stabilized NMJs and rescued neuromuscular transmission. Moreover, poly-GR in muscle activated the integrated stress response (ISR), elevating eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and broadly suppressing protein translation. ISR inhibition with ISRIB restored translation and MuSK protein levels and ameliorated both muscle atrophy and NMJ deficits. These findings demonstrate that skeletal muscle actively contributes to C9orf72-ALS pathology. Targeting muscle with ISRIB offers a therapeutic strategy to preserve motor function in C9orf72-ALS."

We previously demonstrated that A\u03b2 is produced from APP following its lysosomal internalization via macropinocytosis. However, the regulation of APP macropinocytosis in neuronal cells remained uncharacterized. Arf6 and the Rho GTPases Rac1, Cdc42 and RhoA are known to regulate macropinocytosis in response to signaling at the cell surface. Fe65, an adaptor protein known to interact with APP, may link APP to these regulatory elements. We hypothesized that APP binding/crosslinking recruits Fe65, which recruits/activates Arf6 and then Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA, driving APP macropinocytosis. We found that antibody-mediated binding/crosslinking APP resulted in the transient recruitment of Fe65 and Arf6 to APP within 30 s of APP binding/crosslinking. Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA were also recruited at 30 s, but remained recruited through 2 min. The mutation of the APP 'YENPTY' sequence and Arf6 inhibition by NAV-2729 prevented the recruitment of Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA. Together, these observations are the first to demonstrate that a network of regulatory proteins is recruited to bound/crosslinked APP and regulates its macropinocytosis. Targeting these regulatory proteins to modulate APP trafficking to the lysosome could be a therapeutic strategy to reduce A\u03b2 production in AD."

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."

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."

This study investigated the effects of cholesterol overload on human Ether-\u00e0-go-go-Related Gene (hERG/Kv11.1; encoded by KCNH2) potassium channels and L-type calcium channels (LTCC; mainly Cav1.2/CACNA1C in cardiomyocytes), as well as the underlying mechanisms of acLQTS-related cardiotoxicity, using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), whole-cell patch clamp, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, fluorescence imaging, and a high-cholesterol diet guinea pig model with rosuvastatin intervention combined with optical mapping. The results showed that transient cholesterol exposure inhibited hERG tail current amplitude and accelerated channel inactivation, with the effect showing a Y652-dependent component, while also enhancing LTCC activity. Mechanistically, cholesterol overload triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, impaired hERG proteostasis, and promoted ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) of hERG. This process was associated with CANX-mediated recognition of abnormal hERG and FAM134B-LC3B-related autophagic-lysosomal processing, contributing to reduced total hERG expression and membrane-localized mature hERG. FAM134B overexpression partially preserved hERG expression and attenuated cholesterol-induced ER stress/autophagy-related abnormalities. In vivo, rosuvastatin improved lipid profiles and cardiac remodeling in high-cholesterol guinea pigs but was associated with more pronounced action potential duration (APD) and QT interval prolongation under high-cholesterol conditions. These findings suggest that cholesterol overload may increase susceptibility to hERG-related repolarization abnormalities during rosuvastatin exposure and highlight the importance of cholesterol management and electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring in hypercholesterolemic settings."

To investigate mitochondrion-targeted therapeutic strategies, we utilized the MitoPark mouse model, in which mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) is selectively ablated in midbrain dopamine neurons, resulting in progressive neurodegeneration. We designed multifunctional lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs) of the cubosome and hexosome types for noninvasive nose-to-brain delivery. These nanocarriers were engineered with lipids essential for membrane integrity (plasmalogens and \u03c9-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)) and a nonlamellar structural lipid (monoolein). They coencapsulated the neuroprotective antioxidants ginkgolide B and quercetin. To facilitate neuronal targeting and uptake, the surface of the LCNP was modified by conjugation with pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and a rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG)-derived peptide-oleic acid (RVG-OL) conjugate. In vitro studies using differentiated SH-SY5Y cells subjected to oxidative stress demonstrated that the targeted LNPs enhanced cellular uptake and activated key neuroprotective signaling cascades, including AKT, ERK, and STAT3 phosphorylation. In vivo, intranasal administration of the optimized LNPs in MitoPark mice was associated with a trend toward the preservation of dopaminergic neuronal markers (such as tyrosine hydroxylase) and the regulation of mitochondrial-related proteins such as ATP5A1. Transcriptomic profiling revealed extensive molecular reprogramming. The peptide-functionalized LNPs upregulated genes enriched in mitochondrial biogenesis (Ppargc1a and Pink1) and survival (Bcl2) but downregulated the expression of neuroinflammatory mediators (Il6, Nos2, Myd88, and Trem2) and apoptotic effectors. These findings establish peptide-targeted, therapeutic lipid (plasmalogen/PUFA)-based nanoassemblies as a potent nonviral platform for noninvasive nose-to-brain delivery that may modulate mitochondrial- and neurodegeneration-related signaling pathways in a genetic model of PD."

Aluminum exposure induces oxidative stress, hippocampal inflammation, and cognitive decline. Minocycline exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; however, its therapeutic translation is limited by systemic delivery constraints. Adult rats were exposed to chronic AlCl\u2083 and treated with intranasal Lip@min. A preliminary pilot study defined the optimal therapeutic dose. Oxidative stress markers (MDA, NO, SOD, CAT, GPx, GSH), pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, MCP-1), iNOS expression, NF-\u03baB nuclear immunoreactivity, and NLRP3 levels were assessed. Histopathological analysis of CA1 neuronal density and behavioral evaluation using Y-maze and novel object recognition (NOR) tests were performed. AlCl\u2083 exposure induced marked redox collapse, activation of NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 signaling, elevated cytokine production, CA1 neuronal degeneration, and cognitive impairment. Intranasal Lip@min significantly reduced oxidative stress, suppressed NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and NLRP3 expression, and attenuated pro-inflammatory mediator levels. Structural preservation of CA1 neurons was accompanied by significant improvement in working and recognition memory. Dose optimization identified 1\u00a0mg/kg as the optimal balance between efficacy and pulmonary safety. Intranasal liposomal minocycline mitigates aluminum-induced neurodegeneration by modulating the redox-NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 inflammatory axis, leading to structural and functional recovery. These findings support nose-to-brain nano-delivery as a promising strategy for targeting inflammasome-driven neuroinflammatory pathology."

In this study, we investigated the brain biodistribution and dose-dependent effects of intranasally administered ADMSC-EVs in female APP/PS1 mice, with age-matched wild-type mice and vehicle-treated transgenic mice serving as controls.

Recent studies suggest that treatment with mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles offers a promising cell-free strategy for mitigating neurodegeneration. In the present study, we investigated the effects of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles on dopaminergic neurons in a murine Parkinson's disease model and explored the underlying mechanisms related to mitochondrial impairment. A Parkinson's disease mouse model was established using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5- tetrahydropyridine-induced neurotoxicity, followed by the intranasal administration of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles and comprehensive behavioral and pathological assessments. To elucidate the mechanistic basis of any effects, we examined mitochondrial function and Homer protein homolog 3 (Homer3) expression in brain tissue. Mice with Homer3 knockdown were used to validate the role of Homer3 in the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicle administration significantly reduced motor dysfunction in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-induced Parkinson's disease mice by protecting dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles increased both mitochondrial number and function through Homer3 upregulation in Parkinson's disease mice. The therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles in rescuing dopaminergic neurons were impaired by Homer3 knockdown. Collectively, these findings suggest that, at least in part, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles ameliorate dopaminergic neuron damage via the Homer3-mediated restoration of mitochondrial function in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Our results highlight the neuroprotective role of mesenchymal stem cell- derived small extracellular vesicles in Parkinson's disease and provide new perspectives on their therapeutic potential."

Additionally, recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains. However, so far little is known about physiological functions of TMEM106B in the endolysosome and how TMEM106B is involved in a wide range of human conditions at molecular levels. Here, we performed lipidomic analysis of the brain of TMEM106B-deficient mice. We found that TMEM106B deficiency significantly decreases levels of two major classes of myelin lipids, galactosylceramide and its sulfated derivative sulfatide. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that TMEM106B physically interacts with galactosylceramidase. We also found that galactosylceramidase activity was significantly increased in TMEM106B-deficient brains. Thus, our results suggest that TMEM106B interacts with galactosylceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism and have implications for TMEM106B-associated diseases."

TMEM106B filament formation requires cleavage at residue 120 of the 274 amino acid protein; at present, it is not known if residues 255-274 form the fuzzy coat of TMEM106B filaments. Here we show that a second cleavage appears likely, based on staining with an antibody raised against residues 263-274 of TMEM106B. We also show that besides the brain TMEM106B inclusions form in dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord, where they were mostly found in non-neuronal cells. We confirm that in the brain, inclusions were most abundant in astrocytes. No inclusions were detected in heart, liver, spleen or hilar lymph nodes. Based on their staining with luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes, we confirm that TMEM106B inclusions are amyloids.

However, some tau tracers exhibit off-target binding in the basal ganglia, choroid plexus, and meninges. Recently, transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) was identified to form novel amyloid filaments in the brain during aging. In this study, we explored the possibility that TMEM106B aggregates might be responsible for off-target binding of tau PET tracers in the choroid plexus. The binding properties of 18F-labeled tau and amyloid tracers against choroid plexus tissues from postmortem human brains were evaluated through in vitro autoradiography and in vitro binding assays and compared with histochemical staining. Autoradiography showed strong binding of [18F]PM-PBB3 followed by [18F]flortaucipir in the choroid plexus. Immunostaining of the same sections revealed a high level of transmembrane protein 106B aggregates, which are thioflavin-S-labeled Biondi ring structures, in the choroid plexus epithelium and co-localization with PM-PBB3-stained structures. In contrast, co-localization of flortaucipir with TMEM106B immunoreactivity was not confirmed because flortaucipir had a low fluorescence intensity. In vitro binding assays for [18F]PM-PBB3 and [18F]flortaucipir demonstrated high affinities for collagenase A-treated choroid plexus homogenate containing transmembrane protein 106B aggregates. This study demonstrated high affinity of [18F]PM-PBB3 for TMEM106B aggregates in the choroid plexus. In vivo off-target binding of [18F]PM-PBB3 to the choroid plexus might result from binding to TMEM106B aggregates."

Through cryogenic electron microscopy, the studies identified various protofilament structures of TMEM106B fibrils from individuals with several neurodegenerative diseases. These findings raise new questions and opportunities for future research, as they suggest that TMEM106B plays a central role in FTLD pathology. These discoveries also prompt the need for the development of specific antibodies for fibrillar TMEM106B and necessitate further investigation of the potential mechanistic link between TMEM106B and other filamentous aggregates.

The main risk factor for AD is age, and ageing reduces microglial phagocytosis of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques, while increasing microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons. Most of the known genetic risk for AD can be linked to microglial phagocytosis, including ABCA1, ABI3, ACE, ADAM17, APOE, APP, BIN1, BLNK, CD2AP, CD33, CLU, CR1, CTSB, CTSH, EED, GRN, INPP5D, LILRB2, PICALM, PLCG2, PSEN1, PTK2B, SIGLEC11, SORL1, SPI1, TMEM106B and TREM2. Moreover, the only disease-modifying treatments for AD - anti-A\u03b2 antibodies - work by increasing microglial phagocytosis of A\u03b2 aggregates. Microglial phagocytosis of A\u03b2 via TREM2, LRP1, CD33, TAM receptors and anti-A\u03b2 antibodies appears to reduce AD pathology by pruning and compacting plaques, restricting subsequent tau pathology, whereas microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons seems detrimental in the later stages of AD, via complement, P2Y6\u00a0receptor and TREM2. However, the roles of microglial phagocytosis in AD are complex and multifaceted, and improved treatments are likely to require a deeper understanding of these roles."

Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders."

A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease."

TMEM106B variants that increase TMEM106B expression levels are linked to several neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Additionally, the C-terminal lumenal fragment of TMEM106B was recently shown to form amyloid fibrils during aging and neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms regulating TMEM106B levels are not well understood. Here we show that TMEM106B is myristoylated by NMT1/2 enzymes at its glycine 2 \u03b1-amino group and its lysine 3 \u03b5-amino group. Myristoylation decreases TMEM106B levels by promoting its lysosomal degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTFs) can be detected under physiological conditions, and the levels of CTFs are regulated by myristoylation and lysosomal activities. In addition, we show that non-myristoylated TMEM106B accumulates on the cell surface, indicating that myristoylation affects TMEM106B trafficking within the cell.

Proteolytically generated C-terminal fragments of TMEM106B assemble into amyloid fibrils that accumulate in the brains of individuals with neurodegenerative disease and in cognitively normal aged adults, yet how these fibrils produce neuronal dysfunction has remained unclear. Here, we show that cytosolic and lysosome-directed TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTF and gCTF) form detergent-insoluble amyloid aggregates, drive redistribution of endogenous TDP-43 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and accelerate neuronal death. Unbiased proximity proteomics identified the inner nuclear membrane LAP1-TorsinA axis as a fragment-specific interactome, and co-immunoprecipitation confirmed a direct physical interaction between gCTF and LAP1 that was not observed with full-length TMEM106B. Fragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons. Critically, neurons harboring endogenous TMEM106B fibrillar pathology in aged human frontal cortex exhibited the same phenotypes, namely disrupted Lamin B1 and LAP1 localization and cytoplasmic redistribution of TDP-43, whereas fibril-negative neurons from the same cases and younger control tissue retained intact nuclear envelope organization. These findings define TMEM106B proteinopathy as an upstream driver of nuclear envelope disruption and nucleocytoplasmic transport failure, linking a widespread feature of brain aging to a central mechanism of neurodegeneration."

A protein-coding TMEM106B risk variant (p.T185) drives fibril core accumulation by impairing its degradation and GRN risk variants amplify this effect. Mice over-expressing the fibril core develop hallmarks of neurodegeneration, and cryo-electron tomography reveals intra-lysosomal fibrils in cultured neurons, mice, and diseased human brain.

Recent studies suggest that treatment with mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles offers a promising cell-free strategy for mitigating neurodegeneration. In the present study, we investigated the effects of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles on dopaminergic neurons in a murine Parkinson's disease model and explored the underlying mechanisms related to mitochondrial impairment. A Parkinson's disease mouse model was established using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5- tetrahydropyridine-induced neurotoxicity, followed by the intranasal administration of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles and comprehensive behavioral and pathological assessments. To elucidate the mechanistic basis of any effects, we examined mitochondrial function and Homer protein homolog 3 (Homer3) expression in brain tissue. Mice with Homer3 knockdown were used to validate the role of Homer3 in the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicle administration significantly reduced motor dysfunction in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-induced Parkinson's disease mice by protecting dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles increased both mitochondrial number and function through Homer3 upregulation in Parkinson's disease mice. The therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles in rescuing dopaminergic neurons were impaired by Homer3 knockdown. Collectively, these findings suggest that, at least in part, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles ameliorate dopaminergic neuron damage via the Homer3-mediated restoration of mitochondrial function in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Our results highlight the neuroprotective role of mesenchymal stem cell- derived small extracellular vesicles in Parkinson's disease and provide new perspectives on their therapeutic potential."

However, some tau tracers exhibit off-target binding in the basal ganglia, choroid plexus, and meninges. Recently, transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) was identified to form novel amyloid filaments in the brain during aging. In this study, we explored the possibility that TMEM106B aggregates might be responsible for off-target binding of tau PET tracers in the choroid plexus. The binding properties of 18F-labeled tau and amyloid tracers against choroid plexus tissues from postmortem human brains were evaluated through in vitro autoradiography and in vitro binding assays and compared with histochemical staining. Autoradiography showed strong binding of [18F]PM-PBB3 followed by [18F]flortaucipir in the choroid plexus. Immunostaining of the same sections revealed a high level of transmembrane protein 106B aggregates, which are thioflavin-S-labeled Biondi ring structures, in the choroid plexus epithelium and co-localization with PM-PBB3-stained structures. In contrast, co-localization of flortaucipir with TMEM106B immunoreactivity was not confirmed because flortaucipir had a low fluorescence intensity. In vitro binding assays for [18F]PM-PBB3 and [18F]flortaucipir demonstrated high affinities for collagenase A-treated choroid plexus homogenate containing transmembrane protein 106B aggregates.

Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders."

A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease."

TMEM106B variants that increase TMEM106B expression levels are linked to several neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Additionally, the C-terminal lumenal fragment of TMEM106B was recently shown to form amyloid fibrils during aging and neurodegeneration.

Myristoylation decreases TMEM106B levels by promoting its lysosomal degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTFs) can be detected under physiological conditions, and the levels of CTFs are regulated by myristoylation and lysosomal activities. In addition, we show that non-myristoylated TMEM106B accumulates on the cell surface, indicating that myristoylation affects TMEM106B trafficking within the cell.

However, conventional aerosolization methods (e.g., ultrasonic or high-pressure nebulizers) deteriorate non-viral mRNA vectors through excessive shear forces, causing mRNAs to lose their structural integrity and biological activities. A Rayleigh breakup nasal atomizer was used to gently aerosolize polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mRNA vectors into uniform droplets. Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)-encoding mRNA was formulated into cationic polyplexes and characterized pre- and post-aerosolization. The Rayleigh breakup process forms a continuous micro-jet of droplets with minimal shear, thereby preserving the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. Consistent particle size, low polydispersity index, and stable zeta potential before and after aerosolization were observed, confirming that the physicochemical properties of mRNA polyplexes were well preserved via Rayleigh breakup for aerosolization. Using an Alberta Idealized Nasal Inlet (AINI) model of the nasal airway, the PEI-mRNA aerosols were delivered. The aerosolized mRNAs were primarily deposited in the turbinate regions. Negligible fractions were found in the nasopharynx or lung-equivalent sections. In addition, the post-aerosolized mRNA polyplexes were successfully delivered to A549 human lung epithelial cells and produced detectable GFP expression. This protocol demonstrates a non-destructive intranasal mRNA delivery method using Rayleigh breakup aerosolization. It effectively maintains the physicochemical properties and biological functions of non-viral mRNA vectors, atomizing the aqueous phase into droplets of appropriate sizes for targeted nasal deposition. This protocol reveals a novel approach for effectively aerosolizing mRNAs and evaluating their regional deposition in the nasal cavity."

Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization. This integrated strategy combining natural EVs, targeted modification and active drug loading provides a promising platform for the treatment of RA and other inflammatory diseases."

PEVs were isolated from P. notoginseng rhizomes and systematically characterized, with metabolite profiling performed by UPLC-MS. Cellular uptake, biodistribution, and cardioprotective effects were evaluated in Dox-injured cardiomyocytes and a chronic mouse model of DIC. Mechanistic insights were obtained using transcriptomic analysis, molecular docking, and biochemical assays. PEVs were stable nanosized vesicles enriched with characteristic P. notoginseng metabolites, including triterpenoid saponins and dencichine. PEVs were efficiently internalized by cardiomyocytes and preferentially accumulated in injured myocardium. Functionally, PEVs attenuated Dox-induced inflammation, apoptosis, myocardial atrophy, fibrosis, and cardiac dysfunction, with efficacy comparable to dexrazoxane. Mechanistically, transcriptomic and molecular analysis identified p53 as a central regulatory target. PEVs-derived metabolites targeted the p53 DNA-binding domain, suppressing p53 phosphorylation and transcriptional activation of pro-apoptotic and inflammatory genes. Notably, p53 activation attenuated PEVs-mediated protection, whereas p53 inhibition or silencing abolished additional protective effects, indicating a p53-dependent mechanism. PEVs protect against DIC by delivering bioactive metabolites to injured myocardium and inhibiting p53-driven oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic pathways, highlighting their potential as a phytomedicine-based cardioprotective strategy."

While evidence from human studies suggests that the risk allele is associated with higher levels of TMEM106B, the contribution of elevated levels of TMEM106B to neurodegeneration and aging has not been assessed and it remains unclear how TMEM106B modulates disease risk. To study the effect of increased TMEM106B levels, we generated Cre-inducible transgenic mice expressing human wild-type TMEM106B. We evaluated lysosomal and neuronal health using in vitro and in vivo assays including transmission electron microscopy, immunostainings, behavioral testing, electrophysiology, and bulk RNA sequencing. We created the first transgenic mouse model that successfully overexpresses TMEM106B, with a 4- to 8-fold increase in TMEM106B protein levels in heterozygous (hTMEM106B(+)) and homozygous (hTMEM106B(++)) animals, respectively. We showed that the increase in TMEM106B protein levels induced lysosomal dysfunction and age-related downregulation of genes associated with neuronal plasticity, learning, and memory. Increased TMEM106B levels led to altered synaptic signaling in 12-month-old animals which further exhibited an anxiety-like phenotype. Finally, we observed mild neuronal loss in the hippocampus of 21-month-old animals. Characterization of the first transgenic mouse model that overexpresses TMEM106B suggests that higher levels of TMEM106B negatively impacts brain health by modifying brain aging and impairing the resilience of the brain to the pathomechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders. This novel model will be a valuable tool to study the involvement and contribution of increased TMEM106B levels to aging and will be essential to study the many age-related diseases in which TMEM106B was genetically shown to be a disease- and risk-modifier."

It has been proposed that polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex (NPC), accumulation in the nucleolus, and direct interactions with transport receptors. The NPC, which is the key regulator of transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus, plays a central role in these suggested mechanisms. Exploring polyPR interaction with the NPC provides valuable insight into the molecular details of polyPR-mediated NCT defects. To address this, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics models of polyPR and the yeast NPC lined with intrinsically disordered FG-nucleoporins (FG-Nups). Our findings indicate no aggregation of polyPR within the NPC or permanent binding to FG-Nups. Instead, polyPR translocates through the NPC, following a trajectory through the central low-density region of the pore. In the case of longer polyPRs, we observe a higher energy barrier for translocation and a narrower translocation channel. Our study shows that polyPR and FG-Nups are mainly engaged in steric interactions inside\u00a0the NPC with only a small contribution of specific cation-pi, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions, allowing polyPR to overcome the entropic barrier of the NPC in a size-dependent manner."

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."

Recently, we have shown a novel pathway of EV biogenesis in PCa cell lines, PC3 and PC3M. However, as the characteristics of EVs are divergent even among PCa cell lines, we hypothesized that other pathways or common regulatory pathways of EV biogenesis still exist. Here, we performed quantitative high-throughput screening to determine the key regulatory genes involved in EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells, which secrete a different type of EVs. In total, 1728 miRNAs were screened and miR-1908 was selected as the potential miRNA regulating EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells. Subsequently, we investigated target genes of miR-1908 using siRNA screening and identified that spermidine synthase (SRM) was the key regulator of EV secretion in 22Rv1 cells. Attenuation of SRM expression significantly inhibited secretion of EVs in 22Rv1 cells, and overexpression of SRM was confirmed in PCa tissues. Furthermore, we found that the number of endosome compartments was increased in cellular cytoplasm after knockdown of the SRM gene. In conclusion, our results showed that miR-1908-mediated regulation of SRM can control secretion of EVs in PCa. In addition, these data suggested that the EV secretion pathway was dependent on cellular characteristics."

Lipid-based systems, especially following the success of COVID-19 vaccines, have gained attention as versatile platforms for delivering RNAs. Their ability to encapsulate diverse payloads and tunable composition makes them ideal candidates for targeting neurodegenerative disorders via the intranasal route. This review discusses recent advances in intranasal delivery for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, emphasizing on lipid-based nanoparticles. It addresses formulation challenges such as stability, targeting efficiency, and compatibility with nasal physiology, and outlines key design parameters affecting brain delivery. Future directions are explored to advance formulation development and clinical translation. Intranasal lipid-based drug delivery represents a promising strategy to bypass the blood-brain barrier in neurogenerative disorder treatment. Although regulatory gaps and the absence of long-term safety evaluation, intranasal administration offers clear advantages for CNS targeting underscoring strong potential for future clinical translation."

They are released by cells into the surrounding extracellular environment and vary in size, composition, and biogenesis pathways. Beyond their natural role in intercellular communication, mediating the transfer of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (like mRNA and miRNA) between cells, EVs have emerged as a highly versatile and promising therapeutic platform for a range of challenging disorders, particularly those affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and various cancers. The CNS presents unique therapeutic challenges, notably the formidable blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts the entry of most conventional drugs. EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications. This characteristic positions them as ideal nanocarriers for delivering therapeutic payloads such as neurotrophic factors, gene therapy constructs, or anti-inflammatory agents directly to target neural cells for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, and even glioblastoma. Their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity further reduce systemic side effects, making them a safer alternative to synthetic delivery systems. This review outlines recent progress in extraction techniques using EVs for treating neurological disorders. It covers clinical applications in neurodegenerative, infectious diseases, inflammatory, genetic, and oncological diseases and highlights current limitations and considerations for advancing future research in this evolving field."

Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders."

Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH) are key enzymes that utilize spermidine to catalyze the post-translational hypusination of the translation factor EIF5A (EIF5AH). Here, we have found that hepatic DOHH mRNA expression is decreased in patients and mice with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and hepatic cells treated with fatty acids. The mouse and cell culture models of NASH have concomitant decreases in Eif5aH and mitochondrial protein synthesis which leads to lower mitochondrial activity and fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation. Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH, and prevents NASH progression in vivo. Thus, the disrupted DHPS-DOHH-EIF5AH pathway during NASH represents a therapeutic target to increase hepatic protein synthesis and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and prevent NASH progression."

However, genetic engineering fruit-specific expression of heterologous yeast S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) decarboxylase in tomato has been found to result in a high accumulation of SPD and SPM at the cost of PUT. This system enabled a genetic approach to determine the impact of increased endogenous levels of biogenic amines SPD and SPM in tomato (579HO transgenic line) and on the biogenesis, transcription, processing, and stability of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes in tomato fruit as compared with the non-transgenic 556AZ line. One major biogenetic process regulating transcription and processing of pre-mRNA complexes in the nucleus involves small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). To determine the effect of high levels of SPD and SPM on these latter processes, we cloned, sequenced, and identified a box C/D snoRNA cluster in tomato, namely, SlSnoR12, SlU24a, Slz44a, and Slz132b. Similar to this snoRNA cluster housed on chromosome (Chr.) 6, two other noncoding C/D box genes, SlsnoR12.2 and SlU24b, with a 94% identity to those on Chr. 6 were found located on Chr. 3. We also found that other snoRNAs divisible into snoRNA subclusters A and B, separated by a uridine rich spacer, were decorated with other C/D box snoRNAs, namely, J10.3, Z131a/b, J10.1, and Z44a, followed by z132a, J11.3, z132b, U24, Z20, U24a, and J11. Several of these, for example, SlZ44a, Slz132b, and SlU24a share conserved sequences similar to those in Arabidopsis and rice. RNAseq analysis of high SPD/SPM transgenic tomatoes (579HO line) showed significant enrichment of RNA polymerases, ribosomal, and translational protein genes at the breaker+8 ripening stage as compared with the 556AZ control. Thus, these results indicate that SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner."

A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease."

It has been proposed that polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex (NPC), accumulation in the nucleolus, and direct interactions with transport receptors. The NPC, which is the key regulator of transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus, plays a central role in these suggested mechanisms. Exploring polyPR interaction with the NPC provides valuable insight into the molecular details of polyPR-mediated NCT defects. To address this, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics models of polyPR and the yeast NPC lined with intrinsically disordered FG-nucleoporins (FG-Nups). Our findings indicate no aggregation of polyPR within the NPC or permanent binding to FG-Nups. Instead, polyPR translocates through the NPC, following a trajectory through the central low-density region of the pore. In the case of longer polyPRs, we observe a higher energy barrier for translocation and a narrower translocation channel. Our study shows that polyPR and FG-Nups are mainly engaged in steric interactions inside\u00a0the NPC with only a small contribution of specific cation-pi, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions, allowing polyPR to overcome the entropic barrier of the NPC in a size-dependent manner."

The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS."

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."

Recently, we have shown a novel pathway of EV biogenesis in PCa cell lines, PC3 and PC3M. However, as the characteristics of EVs are divergent even among PCa cell lines, we hypothesized that other pathways or common regulatory pathways of EV biogenesis still exist. Here, we performed quantitative high-throughput screening to determine the key regulatory genes involved in EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells, which secrete a different type of EVs. In total, 1728 miRNAs were screened and miR-1908 was selected as the potential miRNA regulating EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells. Subsequently, we investigated target genes of miR-1908 using siRNA screening and identified that spermidine synthase (SRM) was the key regulator of EV secretion in 22Rv1 cells. Attenuation of SRM expression significantly inhibited secretion of EVs in 22Rv1 cells, and overexpression of SRM was confirmed in PCa tissues. Furthermore, we found that the number of endosome compartments was increased in cellular cytoplasm after knockdown of the SRM gene. In conclusion, our results showed that miR-1908-mediated regulation of SRM can control secretion of EVs in PCa. In addition, these data suggested that the EV secretion pathway was dependent on cellular characteristics."

Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models. Mechanistically, NotoEV delivered conserved plant microRNAs to recipient neurons, where they suppressed key stress granule nucleators GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 2 (G3bp2), Ubiquitin-associated protein 2 like (Ubap2l), and LSM14A mRNA processing body assembly factor (Lsm14a), activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, and promoted mitochondrial stabilization via the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/ Translocase Of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) axis.

Despite significant efforts, no disease-modifying therapies targeting specific molecular pathways have demonstrated consistent clinical efficacy. This challenge has shifted attention toward drug delivery strategies that improve bioavailability, targeting, and patient accessibility. Intranasal delivery has emerged as a promising, non-invasive approach that bypasses the blood-brain barrier, and improves patient compliance. Lipid-based systems, especially following the success of COVID-19 vaccines, have gained attention as versatile platforms for delivering RNAs. Their ability to encapsulate diverse payloads and tunable composition makes them ideal candidates for targeting neurodegenerative disorders via the intranasal route. This review discusses recent advances in intranasal delivery for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, emphasizing on lipid-based nanoparticles. It addresses formulation challenges such as stability, targeting efficiency, and compatibility with nasal physiology, and outlines key design parameters affecting brain delivery. Future directions are explored to advance formulation development and clinical translation. Intranasal lipid-based drug delivery represents a promising strategy to bypass the blood-brain barrier in neurogenerative disorder treatment. Although regulatory gaps and the absence of long-term safety evaluation, intranasal administration offers clear advantages for CNS targeting underscoring strong potential for future clinical translation."

They are released by cells into the surrounding extracellular environment and vary in size, composition, and biogenesis pathways. Beyond their natural role in intercellular communication, mediating the transfer of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (like mRNA and miRNA) between cells, EVs have emerged as a highly versatile and promising therapeutic platform for a range of challenging disorders, particularly those affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and various cancers. The CNS presents unique therapeutic challenges, notably the formidable blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts the entry of most conventional drugs. EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications. This characteristic positions them as ideal nanocarriers for delivering therapeutic payloads such as neurotrophic factors, gene therapy constructs, or anti-inflammatory agents directly to target neural cells for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, and even glioblastoma. Their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity further reduce systemic side effects, making them a safer alternative to synthetic delivery systems. This review outlines recent progress in extraction techniques using EVs for treating neurological disorders. It covers clinical applications in neurodegenerative, infectious diseases, inflammatory, genetic, and oncological diseases and highlights current limitations and considerations for advancing future research in this evolving field."

Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders."

Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH) are key enzymes that utilize spermidine to catalyze the post-translational hypusination of the translation factor EIF5A (EIF5AH). Here, we have found that hepatic DOHH mRNA expression is decreased in patients and mice with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and hepatic cells treated with fatty acids. The mouse and cell culture models of NASH have concomitant decreases in Eif5aH and mitochondrial protein synthesis which leads to lower mitochondrial activity and fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation. Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH, and prevents NASH progression in vivo. Thus, the disrupted DHPS-DOHH-EIF5AH pathway during NASH represents a therapeutic target to increase hepatic protein synthesis and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and prevent NASH progression."

Toxic dipeptide repeats (DPRs) are synthesized from GGGGCC via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation.

However, genetic engineering fruit-specific expression of heterologous yeast S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) decarboxylase in tomato has been found to result in a high accumulation of SPD and SPM at the cost of PUT. This system enabled a genetic approach to determine the impact of increased endogenous levels of biogenic amines SPD and SPM in tomato (579HO transgenic line) and on the biogenesis, transcription, processing, and stability of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes in tomato fruit as compared with the non-transgenic 556AZ line. One major biogenetic process regulating transcription and processing of pre-mRNA complexes in the nucleus involves small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). To determine the effect of high levels of SPD and SPM on these latter processes, we cloned, sequenced, and identified a box C/D snoRNA cluster in tomato, namely, SlSnoR12, SlU24a, Slz44a, and Slz132b. Similar to this snoRNA cluster housed on chromosome (Chr.) 6, two other noncoding C/D box genes, SlsnoR12.2 and SlU24b, with a 94% identity to those on Chr. 6 were found located on Chr. 3. We also found that other snoRNAs divisible into snoRNA subclusters A and B, separated by a uridine rich spacer, were decorated with other C/D box snoRNAs, namely, J10.3, Z131a/b, J10.1, and Z44a, followed by z132a, J11.3, z132b, U24, Z20, U24a, and J11. Several of these, for example, SlZ44a, Slz132b, and SlU24a share conserved sequences similar to those in Arabidopsis and rice. RNAseq analysis of high SPD/SPM transgenic tomatoes (579HO line) showed significant enrichment of RNA polymerases, ribosomal, and translational protein genes at the breaker+8 ripening stage as compared with the 556AZ control. Thus, these results indicate that SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner."

A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease."

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."

This study explored the therapeutic potential of lithium salt dissolved in Ryanodex formulation vehicle (RFV) and delivered to the brain by intranasal application. We first compared lithium concentrations in the brain and blood of wild-type mice following intranasal or oral administration of lithium chloride (LiCl) dissolved in either RFV or water. The beneficial and side effects of intranasal versus oral LiCl in RFV in these mice were assessed and potential mechanisms underlying the efficacy of anti-inflammation and anti-pyroptosis in the brains were also investigated in both wild-type (WT) and 5XFAD Alzheimer's Disease (AD) mice brains. For the study of brain versus blood lithium concentrations, WT B6SJLF1/J mice at 2 months of age were treated with intranasal or oral LiCl (3 mmol/kg) dissolved in RFV or in water. Brain and blood lithium concentrations were measured at various times after drugs administration. Brain/blood lithium concentration ratios were then determined. For studying therapeutic efficacy versus side effects and their underlying mechanisms, 5XFAD and WT B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with intranasal LiCl (3 mmol/kg) daily, Monday to Friday each week, in RFV beginning at 2 or 9 months of age with a 12-week treatment duration. Animal behaviors were assessed for depression (tail suspension), cognition (fear conditioning and Y maze), olfaction (buried food test), and motor functions (rotarod) at the age of 5 and 12 months. Blood and brain tissue were harvested from these mice at 13 months. Blood biomarkers for the functions of thyroid (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) and kidney (creatinine) were measured using ELISA. Changes in protein expression levels of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels type 1 InsP3 receptors (InsP3R-1), malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified proteins and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), pyroptosis regulatory proteins (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal of Gasdermin D (GSDMD)), cytotoxic (IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) and cytoprotective (IL-10) cytokines and synapse proteins (PSD-95, synapsin-1) were determined using immunoblotting. Mouse body weights were monitored regularly. Compared to oral LiCl in RFV nanoparticles, intranasal treatment of WT mice with LiCl in RFV markedly decreased blood concentrations at the time frame of 30-120 minutes. The ratio of brain/blood lithium concentration after Intranasal lithium chloride in RFV significantly increased, in comparison to those after oral administration lithium chloride in RFV or intranasal administration of lithium chloride in water. Intranasal lithium chloride in RFV inhibited both memory loss and depressive behavior in adult and aged 5XFAD mice. Additionally intranasal treatment of aged 5XFAD mice with LiCl in RFV effectively suppressed the increases in InsP3R-1, intracellular oxidative stress markers (4-HNE-bound and MDA-modified proteins), pyroptosis activation proteins (NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal GSDMD) and cytotoxic cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1), but reversed the down-regulation of cytoprotective cytokine IL-10. Intranasal LiCl in RFV also alleviated the loss of the postsynaptic synapse protein PSD-95, but not synapsin-1, in aged 5XFAD mice. Blood level of the kidney function marker creatinine was significantly increased in 5XFAD than in WT mice in an age-dependent manner and this elevation was abolished by intranasal delivery of LiCl in RFV. Intranasal LiCl in RFV for 12 weeks in both WT or 5XFAD mice did not affect blood biomarkers for thyroid function, nor did it affect smell or muscle function or body weight. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV significantly decreased lithium blood concentrations and increased brain/blood lithium concentration ratio, in comparison to its oral administration. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV robustly protected against both memory loss and depressive-like behavior, while had no side effects concerning thyroid and kidney toxicity in 5XFAD mice. These lithium-induced beneficial effects were strongly associated with lithium's suppression of InsP3R-1 Ca2+ channel receptor increase, pathological neuroinflammation and activation of the pyroptosis pathway, as well as the loss of some synaptic proteins. Intranasal delivery of lithium salt in RFV could become an effective and potent inhibitor of pathological inflammation/pyroptosis in the CNS and serve as a new treatment for both AD-associated dementia and depression with minimal unwanted side effects including peripheral organ toxicity."

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. 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."

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."

It has been proposed that polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex (NPC), accumulation in the nucleolus, and direct interactions with transport receptors. The NPC, which is the key regulator of transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus, plays a central role in these suggested mechanisms. Exploring polyPR interaction with the NPC provides valuable insight into the molecular details of polyPR-mediated NCT defects. To address this, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics models of polyPR and the yeast NPC lined with intrinsically disordered FG-nucleoporins (FG-Nups). Our findings indicate no aggregation of polyPR within the NPC or permanent binding to FG-Nups. Instead, polyPR translocates through the NPC, following a trajectory through the central low-density region of the pore. In the case of longer polyPRs, we observe a higher energy barrier for translocation and a narrower translocation channel. Our study shows that polyPR and FG-Nups are mainly engaged in steric interactions inside\u00a0the NPC with only a small contribution of specific cation-pi, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions, allowing polyPR to overcome the entropic barrier of the NPC in a size-dependent manner."

The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS."

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."

Recently, we have shown a novel pathway of EV biogenesis in PCa cell lines, PC3 and PC3M. However, as the characteristics of EVs are divergent even among PCa cell lines, we hypothesized that other pathways or common regulatory pathways of EV biogenesis still exist. Here, we performed quantitative high-throughput screening to determine the key regulatory genes involved in EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells, which secrete a different type of EVs. In total, 1728 miRNAs were screened and miR-1908 was selected as the potential miRNA regulating EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells. Subsequently, we investigated target genes of miR-1908 using siRNA screening and identified that spermidine synthase (SRM) was the key regulator of EV secretion in 22Rv1 cells. Attenuation of SRM expression significantly inhibited secretion of EVs in 22Rv1 cells, and overexpression of SRM was confirmed in PCa tissues. Furthermore, we found that the number of endosome compartments was increased in cellular cytoplasm after knockdown of the SRM gene. In conclusion, our results showed that miR-1908-mediated regulation of SRM can control secretion of EVs in PCa. In addition, these data suggested that the EV secretion pathway was dependent on cellular characteristics."

This challenge has shifted attention toward drug delivery strategies that improve bioavailability, targeting, and patient accessibility. Intranasal delivery has emerged as a promising, non-invasive approach that bypasses the blood-brain barrier, and improves patient compliance. Lipid-based systems, especially following the success of COVID-19 vaccines, have gained attention as versatile platforms for delivering RNAs.

Future directions are explored to advance formulation development and clinical translation. Intranasal lipid-based drug delivery represents a promising strategy to bypass the blood-brain barrier in neurogenerative disorder treatment.

They are released by cells into the surrounding extracellular environment and vary in size, composition, and biogenesis pathways. Beyond their natural role in intercellular communication, mediating the transfer of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (like mRNA and miRNA) between cells, EVs have emerged as a highly versatile and promising therapeutic platform for a range of challenging disorders, particularly those affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and various cancers. The CNS presents unique therapeutic challenges, notably the formidable blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts the entry of most conventional drugs. EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications. This characteristic positions them as ideal nanocarriers for delivering therapeutic payloads such as neurotrophic factors, gene therapy constructs, or anti-inflammatory agents directly to target neural cells for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, and even glioblastoma. Their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity further reduce systemic side effects, making them a safer alternative to synthetic delivery systems.

Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders."

Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH, and prevents NASH progression in vivo. Thus, the disrupted DHPS-DOHH-EIF5AH pathway during NASH represents a therapeutic target to increase hepatic protein synthesis and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and prevent NASH progression."

To determine the effect of high levels of SPD and SPM on these latter processes, we cloned, sequenced, and identified a box C/D snoRNA cluster in tomato, namely, SlSnoR12, SlU24a, Slz44a, and Slz132b. Similar to this snoRNA cluster housed on chromosome (Chr.) 6, two other noncoding C/D box genes, SlsnoR12.2 and SlU24b, with a 94% identity to those on Chr. 6 were found located on Chr. 3. We also found that other snoRNAs divisible into snoRNA subclusters A and B, separated by a uridine rich spacer, were decorated with other C/D box snoRNAs, namely, J10.3, Z131a/b, J10.1, and Z44a, followed by z132a, J11.3, z132b, U24, Z20, U24a, and J11. Several of these, for example, SlZ44a, Slz132b, and SlU24a share conserved sequences similar to those in Arabidopsis and rice. RNAseq analysis of high SPD/SPM transgenic tomatoes (579HO line) showed significant enrichment of RNA polymerases, ribosomal, and translational protein genes at the breaker+8 ripening stage as compared with the 556AZ control. Thus, these results indicate that SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner."

A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease."

The blood-brain barrier (BBB), systemic toxicity, and first-pass metabolism are key obstacles. These factors limit the effective drug delivery to the brain. Intranasal administration has emerged as a noninvasive strategy to bypass the BBB. This approach enables direct drug delivery to the brain through the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways, commonly referred to as nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery. In this context, chitosan (CS), a biocompatible and mucoadhesive polysaccharide with permeation-enhancing properties, has gained significant interest as a functional material for nanoparticle (NP) engineering. CS-based or CS-coated NP can prolong the residence time on the nasal mucosa and facilitate drug transport to the CNS. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in CS-based NP for N2B drug delivery across a range of CNS disorders, including neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, neoplastic, and infectious conditions. Particular attention is given to formulation strategies, mechanistic insights, and preclinical outcomes. Recent patent applications are surveyed to underscore the translational potential and commercial interest in this technology. Collectively, CS-based NPs effectively address major therapeutic barriers, establishing a transformative and innovative platform in CNS drug delivery."

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) complicates treatment, limiting drug access and causing low bioavailability. Chitosan nanoparticles (CH-NPs) offer a promising solution for improving drug delivery to the brain due to their biocompatibility and ability to enhance intranasal delivery, potentially increasing therapeutic efficacy. The review discusses advancements in chitosan-based nanoparticle drug delivery systems for NDDs, highlighting literature from 2015 to 2025. It indicates that chitosan can improve drug uptake in the brain by up to ten times and emphasizes its potential for targeted central nervous system (CNS) delivery due to its unique properties. Additionally, intranasal delivery is a non-invasive method to bypass the BBB and enhance therapeutic precision. CH-NPs effectively deliver therapeutics to the CNS, leveraging their mucoadhesive properties and biocompatibility to cross the BBB via intranasal delivery. This platform enhances drug uptake and retention in the brain, addressing challenges faced by traditional therapies for NDDs.

While literature supports the individual components of the hypothesis\u2014such as the role of spermidine in autophagy, the mechanism of RAN translation, progranulin's lysosomal functions, and the identification of p38-Lamin B1-dependent karyoptosis\u2014there is no provided evidence for the specific efficacy of \"Spermidine-modified Ginseng Extracellular Vesicles\" or the direct interaction between MARK2-eIF2\u03b1-driven RAN translation and the specific clogging of FG-nucleoporins.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe hypothesis proposes a multi-modal therapeutic strategy for C9orf72-associated neurodegeneration, utilizing intranasal delivery to bypass the blood-brain barrier. The claim suggests that modulating the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) and enhancing lysosomal clearance pathways will prevent the formation of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) and subsequent karyoptotic cell death. Scientific evidence identifies these pathways as valid targets, though the synthesis of a single therapeutic modality targeting all these nodes simultaneously lacks direct corroboration in the current literature.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nNeurodegenerative pathology in C9orf72-ALS/FTD is driven by RAN translation of GGGGCC repeats into toxic DPRs, which disrupt cellular homeostasis and initiate cell death. Evidence indicates that \"Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies.\" This modulation of autophagy is critical because \"Cellular interactions involve internalization of amyloid precursors, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, reactive oxygen species production, and proteotoxicity, particularly in cardiomyocytes and mesangial cells.\" The hypothesis focuses on DPR toxicity, where \"Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline.\" To arrest this progression, one must address the specific cell death mechanism: \"Here we show that karyoptosis, a distinct form of cell death, can be induced by proteotoxic stress and then develops through nuclear degeneration and cellular expulsion of nuclear material.\" Furthermore, \"We establish that karyoptosis is regulated by the p38 kinase signalling pathway, which controls stability of the nuclear lamina protein LaminB1 via direct phosphorylation.\" Targeting the RNA component is also supported: \"Here, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA. During this process, the RNA exosome engages the translating ribosome-C9-HRE mRNA complex to mediate RAN translation-coupled mRNA decay.\" Finally, the utility of intranasal delivery for these complex therapies is substantiated: \"Intranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Karyoptosis represents a distinct cell death pathway driven by p38 kinase-mediated instability of Lamin B1.\n*   The RNA exosome, specifically EXOSC3, functions co-translationally to mitigate RAN translation-associated toxicity.\n*   Neurons exhibit increased start codon stringency, which paradoxically favors cap-independent RAN translation.\n*   Poly(GR) serves as a potent activator of the Integrated Stress Response, linking DPR accumulation to translation suppression.\n*   TMEM106B is identified as a critical modifier of TDP-43-associated neuropathology.\n*   Progranulin (PGRN) is non-redundantly involved in neuroinflammation and lysosomal repair.\n*   ISR inhibition via ISRIB can rescue synaptic and motor phenotypes in C9orf72 models.\n*   Intranasal delivery of extracellular vesicles (EVs) enables functional mRNA cargo delivery into the brain.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

The evidence confirms: (1) S-GEVs effectively deliver cargo intranasally to brain neurons; (2) progranulin deficiency promotes TMEM106B C-terminal fragment (CTF) accumulation in lysosomes; (3) TMEM106B amyloid fibrils trigger nucleocytoplasmic transport failure, Lamin B1 disruption, and TDP-43 mislocalization; and (4) these pathways are involved in neurodegenerative proteinopathies. However, the provided literature contains no mention of \"MARK2-eIF2\u03b1-driven RAN translation,\" \"dipeptide repeat clogging of FG-nucleoporins,\" or \"p38-Lamin B1-dependent Karyoptosis.\" Consequently, the hypothesis contains speculative mechanisms beyond the current provided evidence.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific synthesis: Intranasal delivery of engineered extracellular vesicles provides a viable pathway for neuroprotective gene therapy. Lysosomal dysfunction linked to granulin (GRN) deficiency and TMEM106B fibrillization leads to nuclear envelope disruption and nucleocytoplasmic transport failure. While the literature supports the efficacy of intranasal S-GEVs and the role of TMEM106B-driven nuclear pathology, the specific involvement of MARK2-eIF2\u03b1-mediated translation or the \"Karyoptosis\" construct remains outside the provided evidence base.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe therapeutic promise of intranasal delivery using plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) rests on their capacity to traverse biological barriers. \"To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA.\" This methodology exploits olfactory pathways, as \"After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway.\" \n\nPathologically, neurodegeneration is heavily influenced by the lysosomal protein TMEM106B, where \"Using lysosome immunoprecipitation, we show that granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes in Grn-knockout mice and GRN-null human iPSC-derived neurons.\" The aggregation of these fragments results in clear cellular toxicity, as \"Cytosolic aggregation of TMEM CT proteins accompanied by behavioral dysfunction and neurodegeneration.\" Furthermore, the aggregation is not isolated to healthy lysosomal function, but instead influences structural integrity: \"Fragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons.\" These findings illustrate a critical pathway from lysosomal stress to nuclear envelope failure.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   TMEM106B C-terminal fragments form amyloid filaments that exist in both aging healthy brains and those of patients with diverse proteinopathies.\n*   Myristoylation is a key post-translational regulator that decreases TMEM106B levels via lysosomal degradation.\n*   TMEM106B interacts directly with galactosylceramidase, linking the protein to myelin lipid metabolism.\n*   Intranasal delivery systems, including those using plant-derived vesicles, have been shown to rescue motor neuron function in Parkinson's models.\n*   Biondi bodies, found in the choroid plexus, are major reservoirs of TMEM106B amyloid fibrils.\n*   Genetic variants in TMEM106B modify the proportion of specific cell subtypes in the brain, impacting cognitive resilience.\n*   There is a convergent neurodegeneration mechanism where fibrils extrude through ruptured lysosomal membranes in GRN-mutation carriers.\n*   Intranasal delivery of mRNA therapeutics is increasingly feasible using Rayleigh breakup aerosolization to prevent mechanical shear damage.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

While the provided literature supports the individual components\u2014S-GEVs for intranasal delivery, suppression of RAN translation by manipulating initiation factors like eIF2D or MARK2, and the management of TMEM106B amyloid accumulation via progranulin\u2014the literature does not contain evidence for \"p38-Lamin B1-dependent Karyoptosis.\" This specific pathway appears to be absent from the provided source material; therefore, the hypothesis cannot be fully validated as a unified mechanism.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe therapeutic challenge of C9orf72-linked neurodegeneration involves overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and modulating non-canonical protein synthesis. Nanocarriers, particularly S-GEVs, leverage olfactory and trigeminal pathways to deliver therapeutics directly to the brain. Once in the CNS, the literature establishes that \"To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles\" (ID: 41177462). The underlying mechanism of neurodegeneration relies on repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation, where \"identify microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2) as a key eIF2\u03b1 kinase that enhances RAN translation under proteotoxic stress\" (ID: 41231952). The accumulation of toxic dipeptide repeats (DPRs) leads to cellular pathology, where \"polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex\" (ID: 39205388). Furthermore, lysosomal health is critical, as \"granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes\" (ID: 41929021). Supplementation is a known strategy, as \"Recombinant progranulin supplementation reduced TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation\" (ID: 41929021). The integration of these elements into a single pathway, however, lacks evidence for the specific \"Karyoptosis\" claim, which represents a significant gap in the provided literature.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Intranasal Efficiency**: The intranasal route bypasses the BBB to achieve higher bioavailability, as \"Intranasal delivery provides a promising alternative by exploiting olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to circumvent the BBB.\" (ID: 42076632).\n*   **Nanoparticle Targeting**: Spermidine modification is a functional strategy because \"nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy\" (ID: 41177462).\n*   **RAN Translation Regulation**: Targeting the eIF2 complex is effective, as \"loss-of-function mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D (eif-2D/eIF2D) reduce poly-GA and poly-GP levels\" (ID: 34654821).\n*   **Lysosomal Dysfunction**: The protein TMEM106B is not just a risk modifier but an amyloid precursor, as \"recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains.\" (ID: 39237682).\n*   **EV Therapeutic Potential**: Extracellular vesicles are inherently capable of transport, as \"EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications.\" (ID: 41205008).\n*   **Polyamine Modulation**: Spermidine impacts metabolism significantly, as \"Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH\" (ID: 36057633).\n*   **Transcriptional Control**: snoRNA clusters are influenced by polyamines, as \"SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner.\" (ID: 33291784).\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

ID: 41582778.\n\n\n--- VALIDATED QUOTES ---\nSpermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies.\nHere, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA. During this process, the RNA exosome engages the translating ribosome-C9-HRE mRNA complex to mediate RAN translation-coupled mRNA decay.\nMoreover, overexpression of EXOSC3, a key subunit of the RNA exosome cap, promotes RAN translation-coupled decay of C9-HRE mRNA and suppresses DPR production.\nIntriguingly, cap-independent RAN translation exhibits less reliance on near-cognate codons for initiation than cap-dependent RAN translation. This finding led us to identify a surprising global increase in start codon stringency in neurons as a contributor to the relatively higher cap-independent RAN translation in this cell type.\nHere we show that karyoptosis, a distinct form of cell death, can be induced by proteotoxic stress and then develops through nuclear degeneration and cellular expulsion of nuclear material.\nWe establish that karyoptosis is regulated by the p38 kinase signalling pathway, which controls stability of the nuclear lamina protein LaminB1 via direct phosphorylation.\nMoreover, we discuss the potential role of TMEM106B as an important modifier of the protein TDP-43 neuropathology associated with the GRN mutation in this case.\nProgranulin (PGRN) constitutes a pleiotropic growth factor involved in neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, and tissue repair, which has not been adequately studied in iNPH.\nIntranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways.\nCellular interactions involve internalization of amyloid precursors, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, reactive oxygen species production, and proteotoxicity, particularly in cardiomyocytes and mesangial cells.\nHere, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline.\nISR inhibition with ISRIB restored translation and MuSK protein levels and ameliorated both muscle atrophy and NMJ deficits.\nWe previously demonstrated that A\u03b2 is produced from APP following its lysosomal internalization via macropinocytosis.\nMoreover, the bioavailability of orally administered agents in the brain is challenged by the blood-brain barrier, complicating brain-targeted drug development.\nAlzheimer'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.\nParticular 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.\nMechanistically, cholesterol overload triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, impaired hERG proteostasis, and promoted ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) of hERG.\nSpermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies.\nCellular interactions involve internalization of amyloid precursors, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, reactive oxygen species production, and proteotoxicity, particularly in cardiomyocytes and mesangial cells.\nHere, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline.\nHere we show that karyoptosis, a distinct form of cell death, can be induced by proteotoxic stress and then develops through nuclear degeneration and cellular expulsion of nuclear material.\nWe establish that karyoptosis is regulated by the p38 kinase signalling pathway, which controls stability of the nuclear lamina protein LaminB1 via direct phosphorylation.\nHere, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA.

a pleiotropic growth factor involved in neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, and tissue repair, which has not been adequately studied in iNPH.\nISR inhibition with ISRIB restored translation and MuSK protein levels and ameliorated both muscle atrophy and NMJ deficits.\nWe previously demonstrated that A\u03b2 is produced from APP following its lysosomal internalization via macropinocytosis.\nMoreover, the bioavailability of orally administered agents in the brain is challenged by the blood-brain barrier, complicating brain-targeted drug development.\nAlzheimer'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.\nParticular attention is given to the

ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA.\nAfter intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway.\nUsing lysosome immunoprecipitation, we show that granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes in Grn-knockout mice and GRN-null human iPSC-derived neurons.\nIsogenic neurons carrying the TMEM106B risk allele displayed allele-dose-dependent fragment accumulation that was reversible by progranulin.\nFragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons.\nIn GRN-mutation carriers, in whom fibril burden is greatest, fibrils extrude through ruptured lysosomal membranes.\nHere, we show that Biondi bodies are strongly immunoreactive with TMEM239,

This narrative review examines four mechanistically distinct compounds, namely spermidine, fisetin, berberine, and urolithin A, as emerging functional food ingredients with scientifically supported effects on key hallmarks of human aging. Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies. Fisetin, a flavonoid from strawberries and apples, exerts senolytic activity by selectively eliminating senescent cells via PI3K/AKT and Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibition, with emerging clinical evidence. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid from Berberis species, modulates metabolic dysfunction via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and reshapes gut microbiota composition through direct high intraluminal exposure, with the most extensive clinical dataset of the four compounds. Urolithin A, a gut microbiome-derived postbiotic from ellagitannins in pomegranates and nuts, induces mitophagy via PINK1/Parkin and has been evaluated in a growing number of registered human clinical trials. Together, the four compounds primarily target distinct but complementary aging-associated pathways (autophagy, senolysis, metabolic regulation, mitophagy), suggesting rational potential for combined functional food formulations. Limited direct evidence for their combined use and the need for dedicated co-administration studies are discussed, alongside bioavailability, safety, and regulatory considerations."

However, several crucial aspects of tissue vulnerability and resilience to amyloid deposition and toxicity remain poorly defined. The amino acid sequence of the amyloid protein is a primary determinant of organ targeting. Cryo-electron microscopy reveals common fibril architectures across organs, indicating interactions with shared tissue constituents. The interaction with the microenvironment, comprising glycosaminoglycans, collagen, endoproteases, and tissue cells, may underlie tissue vulnerability. Cellular interactions involve internalization of amyloid precursors, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, reactive oxygen species production, and proteotoxicity, particularly in cardiomyocytes and mesangial cells. Increased structural dynamics in amyloidogenic light chains promote improper interactions with cell constituents. Tissue-specific proteostasis capacity declines with age, contributing to tissue vulnerability in elderly patients. Parallels with neurodegenerative diseases underscore selective cellular susceptibility due to proteostatic overload and metabolic stress. Evidence shows that the amino acid sequence of the amyloid protein, microenvironmental factors, and cell-intrinsic and extracellular proteostatic capacity jointly determine tissue vulnerability and resilience in amyloidosis, with relative contributions varying by amyloid protein. Identifying key determinants provides actionable targets for improving the care of systemic and localized amyloidosis."

The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS."

Despite advances in antiseizure medications, effective epilepsy management remains challenging because of pharmacoresistance, limited blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, inadequate intracerebral drug accumulation, and systemic toxicity. Moreover, currently available therapies primarily provide symptomatic seizure control without addressing the fundamental pathological processes involved in epileptogenesis, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal degeneration. Intranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways. In this context, biodegradable nanomedicine platforms have gained considerable attention due to their favorable biocompatibility, controlled drug release, enhanced mucosal permeation, and potential for targeted intracerebral delivery. This review provides a comprehensive and critical overview of recent advances in intranasal biodegradable nanomedicine for epilepsy, integrating current knowledge on disease pathophysiology, biological and pharmaceutical barriers, nose-to-brain transport mechanisms, biodegradable nanoparticle platforms, and emerging functionalization strategies. Importantly, the review critically evaluates the current evidence, distinguishing encouraging preclinical findings and discusses the major translational challenges that continue to hinder clinical implementation. Finally, future perspectives are highlighted to identify opportunities for developing safer, more effective, and clinically translatable therapies for epilepsy management."

This expansion supports a non-canonical form of translational initiation known as repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation to produce toxic dipeptide repeat proteins that contribute to neurodegeneration. Here, we find that the efficiency of RAN translation and its dependency on the 5' 7-methylguanosine mRNA cap are variable across cell types, with both rodent neurons and human iNeurons favoring cap-independent RAN translation from two distinct repeats (CGG and GGGGCC) across multiple reading frames. Treatment with an eIF4E inhibitor that blocks global cap-dependent translation enhances RAN translation specifically in neurons. Intriguingly, cap-independent RAN translation exhibits less reliance on near-cognate codons for initiation than cap-dependent RAN translation. This finding led us to identify a surprising global increase in start codon stringency in neurons as a contributor to the relatively higher cap-independent RAN translation in this cell type. This effect correlates with a cytoplasmic redistribution of eIF1 in neurons and is reversed with neuronal overexpression of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF5, which relaxes start codon stringency and selectively enhances cap-dependent RAN translation. Taken together, these findings reveal several neuron-specific features of translational regulation that favor cap-independent RAN translation with implications for nucleotide repeat expansion disorder pathogenesis and neuronal translational regulation."

The patient died 4 years after symptom onset. Neuropathology confirmed GSS, nevertheless without detectable TDP-43-associated neuropathology. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of rare neurodegenerative disorders and illustrates that pathogenic variants may not influence phenotypic expression. Comprehensive genetic testing should be considered in atypical cases, as certain genetic variants may contribute to phenotypic variability and represent potential modifiers of phenotypic expression."

Progranulin (PGRN) constitutes a pleiotropic growth factor involved in neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, and tissue repair, which has not been adequately studied in iNPH. The purpose of this study was to examine the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of PGRN in corresponding patients with suspected iNPH and its correlation with integrated clinical, functional, and neuroradiological parameters. Methods: Thirteen patients with probable iNPH underwent an evaluation protocol, including clinical assessment, neuroradiological evaluation, Tap-test with concomitant gait analysis, and paired serum/CSF sampling. PGRN concentrations in biofluids were measured by ELISA. Correlation analyses were performed. Composite Tap-test response variable derived from quantitative gait-improvement indices was modeled using ridge-logistic regression with leave-one-out cross-validation. Results: In the between-group analyses, serum and CSF concentrations of PGRN were not correlated (r = -0.10, p = 0.74), suggesting that peripheral and intrathecal PGRN behave as non-redundant, compartment-specific readouts rather than as interchangeable measures of the same biological process. Higher CSF concentration of PGRN was nominally associated with older age (r = 0.69, p = 0.009) and with poorer turning-time improvement after the Tap-test (r = -0.62, p = 0.025), while serum concentration of PGRN showed no meaningful associations with clinical or neuroradiological variables. In the model of logistic regression, inclusion of CSF concentration of PGRN substantially improved discrimination of Tap-test response. The full ridge-logistic regression model, including serum and CSF concentration of PGRN, symptom duration, and Kiefer score, achieved an accuracy of 0.923 and an AUC of 0.881. The CSF concentration of PGRN coefficient remained consistently negative across bootstrap resamples (penalized OR 0.434; 95% CI: 0.354-0.697), indicating that higher baseline CSF concentration of PGRN was associated with a lower probability of significant short-term Tap-test response, whereas serum PGRN contributed negligibly to the model. Conclusions: The observed changes in PGRN in CSF may reflect compartment-specific intrathecal inflammatory or tissue-stress processes and may help identify patients with lower short-term responsiveness to CSF drainage. These findings support further longitudinal evaluation of CSF concentration of PGRN for biological stratification and prognostic refinement in iNPH."

Among these DPRs, arginine-containing proteins, poly-GR and poly-PR, are toxic in the nervous system, but whether DPRs in skeletal muscle contribute to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis is unclear. Here, we show that muscle-restricted expression of poly-GR drives motor deficits in mice, including muscle atrophy and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) deficits. Poly-GR in muscle interacted with the NMJ key organizer MuSK and promoted MuSK degradation, disrupting postsynaptic structure and impairing neuromuscular transmission. Importantly, a MuSK agonist antibody (X-17) stabilized NMJs and rescued neuromuscular transmission. Moreover, poly-GR in muscle activated the integrated stress response (ISR), elevating eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and broadly suppressing protein translation. ISR inhibition with ISRIB restored translation and MuSK protein levels and ameliorated both muscle atrophy and NMJ deficits. These findings demonstrate that skeletal muscle actively contributes to C9orf72-ALS pathology. Targeting muscle with ISRIB offers a therapeutic strategy to preserve motor function in C9orf72-ALS."

We previously demonstrated that A\u03b2 is produced from APP following its lysosomal internalization via macropinocytosis. However, the regulation of APP macropinocytosis in neuronal cells remained uncharacterized. Arf6 and the Rho GTPases Rac1, Cdc42 and RhoA are known to regulate macropinocytosis in response to signaling at the cell surface. Fe65, an adaptor protein known to interact with APP, may link APP to these regulatory elements. We hypothesized that APP binding/crosslinking recruits Fe65, which recruits/activates Arf6 and then Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA, driving APP macropinocytosis. We found that antibody-mediated binding/crosslinking APP resulted in the transient recruitment of Fe65 and Arf6 to APP within 30 s of APP binding/crosslinking. Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA were also recruited at 30 s, but remained recruited through 2 min. The mutation of the APP 'YENPTY' sequence and Arf6 inhibition by NAV-2729 prevented the recruitment of Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA. Together, these observations are the first to demonstrate that a network of regulatory proteins is recruited to bound/crosslinked APP and regulates its macropinocytosis. Targeting these regulatory proteins to modulate APP trafficking to the lysosome could be a therapeutic strategy to reduce A\u03b2 production in AD."

Moreover, the bioavailability of orally administered agents in the brain is challenged by the blood-brain barrier, complicating brain-targeted drug development.

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."

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.

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."

This study investigated the effects of cholesterol overload on human Ether-\u00e0-go-go-Related Gene (hERG/Kv11.1; encoded by KCNH2) potassium channels and L-type calcium channels (LTCC; mainly Cav1.2/CACNA1C in cardiomyocytes), as well as the underlying mechanisms of acLQTS-related cardiotoxicity, using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), whole-cell patch clamp, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, fluorescence imaging, and a high-cholesterol diet guinea pig model with rosuvastatin intervention combined with optical mapping. The results showed that transient cholesterol exposure inhibited hERG tail current amplitude and accelerated channel inactivation, with the effect showing a Y652-dependent component, while also enhancing LTCC activity. Mechanistically, cholesterol overload triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, impaired hERG proteostasis, and promoted ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) of hERG. This process was associated with CANX-mediated recognition of abnormal hERG and FAM134B-LC3B-related autophagic-lysosomal processing, contributing to reduced total hERG expression and membrane-localized mature hERG. FAM134B overexpression partially preserved hERG expression and attenuated cholesterol-induced ER stress/autophagy-related abnormalities. In vivo, rosuvastatin improved lipid profiles and cardiac remodeling in high-cholesterol guinea pigs but was associated with more pronounced action potential duration (APD) and QT interval prolongation under high-cholesterol conditions.

To investigate mitochondrion-targeted therapeutic strategies, we utilized the MitoPark mouse model, in which mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) is selectively ablated in midbrain dopamine neurons, resulting in progressive neurodegeneration. We designed multifunctional lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs) of the cubosome and hexosome types for noninvasive nose-to-brain delivery. These nanocarriers were engineered with lipids essential for membrane integrity (plasmalogens and \u03c9-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)) and a nonlamellar structural lipid (monoolein). They coencapsulated the neuroprotective antioxidants ginkgolide B and quercetin. To facilitate neuronal targeting and uptake, the surface of the LCNP was modified by conjugation with pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and a rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG)-derived peptide-oleic acid (RVG-OL) conjugate. In vitro studies using differentiated SH-SY5Y cells subjected to oxidative stress demonstrated that the targeted LNPs enhanced cellular uptake and activated key neuroprotective signaling cascades, including AKT, ERK, and STAT3 phosphorylation. In vivo, intranasal administration of the optimized LNPs in MitoPark mice was associated with a trend toward the preservation of dopaminergic neuronal markers (such as tyrosine hydroxylase) and the regulation of mitochondrial-related proteins such as ATP5A1. Transcriptomic profiling revealed extensive molecular reprogramming. The peptide-functionalized LNPs upregulated genes enriched in mitochondrial biogenesis (Ppargc1a and Pink1) and survival (Bcl2) but downregulated the expression of neuroinflammatory mediators (Il6, Nos2, Myd88, and Trem2) and apoptotic effectors.

Aluminum exposure induces oxidative stress, hippocampal inflammation, and cognitive decline. Minocycline exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; however, its therapeutic translation is limited by systemic delivery constraints. Adult rats were exposed to chronic AlCl\u2083 and treated with intranasal Lip@min. A preliminary pilot study defined the optimal therapeutic dose. Oxidative stress markers (MDA, NO, SOD, CAT, GPx, GSH), pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, MCP-1), iNOS expression, NF-\u03baB nuclear immunoreactivity, and NLRP3 levels were assessed. Histopathological analysis of CA1 neuronal density and behavioral evaluation using Y-maze and novel object recognition (NOR) tests were performed. AlCl\u2083 exposure induced marked redox collapse, activation of NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 signaling, elevated cytokine production, CA1 neuronal degeneration, and cognitive impairment. Intranasal Lip@min significantly reduced oxidative stress, suppressed NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and NLRP3 expression, and attenuated pro-inflammatory mediator levels.

While literature supports the individual components of the hypothesis\u2014such as the role of spermidine in autophagy, the mechanism of RAN translation, progranulin's lysosomal functions, and the identification of p38-Lamin B1-dependent karyoptosis\u2014there is no provided evidence for the specific efficacy of \"Spermidine-modified Ginseng Extracellular Vesicles\" or the direct interaction between MARK2-eIF2\u03b1-driven RAN translation and the specific clogging of FG-nucleoporins.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe hypothesis proposes a multi-modal therapeutic strategy for C9orf72-associated neurodegeneration, utilizing intranasal delivery to bypass the blood-brain barrier. The claim suggests that modulating the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) and enhancing lysosomal clearance pathways will prevent the formation of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) and subsequent karyoptotic cell death. Scientific evidence identifies these pathways as valid targets, though the synthesis of a single therapeutic modality targeting all these nodes simultaneously lacks direct corroboration in the current literature.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nNeurodegenerative pathology in C9orf72-ALS/FTD is driven by RAN translation of GGGGCC repeats into toxic DPRs, which disrupt cellular homeostasis and initiate cell death. Evidence indicates that \"Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies.\" This modulation of autophagy is critical because \"Cellular interactions involve internalization of amyloid precursors, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, reactive oxygen species production, and proteotoxicity, particularly in cardiomyocytes and mesangial cells.\" The hypothesis focuses on DPR toxicity, where \"Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline.\" To arrest this progression, one must address the specific cell death mechanism: \"Here we show that karyoptosis, a distinct form of cell death, can be induced by proteotoxic stress and then develops through nuclear degeneration and cellular expulsion of nuclear material.\" Furthermore, \"We establish that karyoptosis is regulated by the p38 kinase signalling pathway, which controls stability of the nuclear lamina protein LaminB1 via direct phosphorylation.\" Targeting the RNA component is also supported: \"Here, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA. During this process, the RNA exosome engages the translating ribosome-C9-HRE mRNA complex to mediate RAN translation-coupled mRNA decay.\" Finally, the utility of intranasal delivery for these complex therapies is substantiated: \"Intranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Karyoptosis represents a distinct cell death pathway driven by p38 kinase-mediated instability of Lamin B1.\n*   The RNA exosome, specifically EXOSC3, functions co-translationally to mitigate RAN translation-associated toxicity.\n*   Neurons exhibit increased start codon stringency, which paradoxically favors cap-independent RAN translation.\n*   Poly(GR) serves as a potent activator of the Integrated Stress Response, linking DPR accumulation to translation suppression.\n*   TMEM106B is identified as a critical modifier of TDP-43-associated neuropathology.\n*   Progranulin (PGRN) is non-redundantly involved in neuroinflammation and lysosomal repair.\n*   ISR inhibition via ISRIB can rescue synaptic and motor phenotypes in C9orf72 models.\n*   Intranasal delivery of extracellular vesicles (EVs) enables functional mRNA cargo delivery into the brain.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Disorders of the proteolytic systems are implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, lysosomal storage disorders, metabolic disorders, and certain types of cancer. The development of rudimentary and cost-effective models of these diseases for the purpose of evaluating novel pharmaceutical agents and elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis constitutes a pivotal medical and biological undertaking. The proteolytic apparatus of the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become a biochemical model organism of significant importance. This is due to its well-studied nature, low cost, ease of genetic manipulation, and evolutionary conservatism. The mechanisms of proteolytic system dysfunction can be studied in this organism. Furthermore, therapeutic approaches aimed at correcting these dysfunctional mechanisms can be sought.\n\nID: 42598912\nTitle: A live-cell autophagy reporter reveals reversible vacuolation in naked mole-rat skin fibroblasts under lysosomal stress.\nAbstract: Naked mole-rats (NMRs, Heterocephalus glaber) display unusual longevity and resistance to age-related decline, and accumulating evidence suggests that their autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP) is regulated differently from that of conventional mammalian models. However, most studies in NMR cells have relied on static biochemical or ultrastructural readouts, leaving the dynamic organisation of autophagy in living cells poorly defined. Here, we establish a stable tandem fluorescent autophagy reporter in NMR skin fibroblasts using an mCherry-EGFP-LC3NMR construct to enable live-cell, single-cell resolution analysis of ALP dynamics. Under basal conditions, NMR skin fibroblasts exhibit a greater abundance of LC3-positive structures than HeLa cells, together with a mixed population of autophagosomes and autolysosomes, indicating a distinct steady-state organisation of the ALP. Chloroquine (CQ)-induced lysosomal stress caused the expected accumulation of LC3-positive structures but also triggered the formation of large cytoplasmic vacuoles in NMR skin fibroblasts. Importantly, this vacuolation was not associated with acute cytotoxicity and progressively resolved following CQ removal, accompanied by reorganisation of LC3-positive compartments and recovery of lysosomal acidity. Electron microscopy showed that CQ-induced vacuoles are membrane-bound, containing internal material and co-existing with multiple ALP-related vesicular compartments. Primary NMR skin fibroblasts display a similar vacuolation phenotype, indicating that this response is not an artefact of immortalisation or reporter expression. Together, these findings establish a live-cell platform for analysing autophagy in NMR cells and identify a distinctive, reversible vacuolation response to lysosomal stress, consistent with dynamic remodelling of the lysosomal system within NMR skin fibroblasts.\n\nID: 42598879\nTitle: Cathepsin B, Airway Pathogens, and Inflammation in the Lower Airways of Children With Cystic Fibrosis.\nAbstract: Dysregulated protease activity contributes to airway inflammation and tissue remodeling in cystic fibrosis (CF); however, the role of the lysosomal cysteine protease Cathepsin B (CTSB) remains incompletely defined. This cross-sectional study investigates relationships between pro-CTSB and mature CTSB activity with CF-specific pathogens and airway inflammation in children with and without CF. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected from clinically indicated bronchoscopies in children (N\u2009=\u200952 CF, N\u2009=\u2009161 non-CF). CTSB was interrogated using ELISA, fluorogenic activity assay, and Western blot analysis to distinguish pro- and mature CTSB. Total bacterial and total fungal load (TFL) were quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and community composition was determined by 16S bacterial and 18S fungal sequencing. Concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines and neutrophil elastase (NE) were measured via Luminex multiplatform and a spectrophotometric assay, respectively. Analyses included Spearman's rank correlations and Wilcoxon rank-based tests. Pro-CTSB and CTSB activity were significantly (p\u2009<\u20090.01) elevated in CF BALF and in samples with a positive Staphylococcus aureus airway culture. Pro-CTSB concentrations correlated with staphylococcal relative abundance (RA,  \u03c1   =\u20090.25, p\u2009<\u20090.02) and reduced bacterial diversity (  \u03c1   \u2009=\u2009-0.41, p\u2009<\u20090.01). Mature CTSB activity correlated with TFL (  \u03c1   \u2009=\u20090.50, p\u2009<\u20090.05) and Aspergillus spp. RA (  \u03c1   \u2009=\u20090.36, p\u2009<\u20090.04). Western blot analysis confirmed pro-CTSB expression and mature CTSB in BALF with measurable activity. Both CTSB measures correlated strongly with NE and proinflammatory cytokines (  \u03c1   \u2009\u2265\u20090.47, p\u2009<\u20090.001). Pro-CTSB concentrations negatively correlated with FEV1/FVC measurements in CF (  \u03c1   \u2009=\u2009-0.32, p\u2009=\u20090.05). BALF CTSB concentration may serve as a CF-specific biomarker of infection-related inflammation and obstructive lung disease driven by specific pathogen interactions.\n\nID: 42598102\nTitle: Biomimetic stress granules replenish lysosomal repair to reinstate macrophage immunometabolic antibacterial programs.\nAbstract: Severe intracellular bacterial infection can progressively compromise lysosomal defence in macrophages, yet the underlying repair bottleneck remains unclear. Here we identify a time-dependent exhaustion of stress granule (SG)-associated lysosomal repair during sustained infection: progressive depletion of core SG components, including G3BP1 and galectin-3 (Gal-3), undermines lysosomal membrane resealing, resulting in lysosomal deacidification and persistent cytosolic acidification. This pH imbalance suppresses glycolytic metabolism and blunts macrophage pro-inflammatory antibacterial programs, thereby enabling intracellular bacterial persistence. Since this exhausted repair module cannot be readily reconstituted by conventional pharmacological or genetic approaches, we engineer biomimetic stress granules (BSGs), Gal-3-functionalized nanodiscs cloaked in acid-responsive fusogen-expressing macrophage membrane vesicles (Gal3-NDs@EF-MNVs), to achieve sequential targeting and cytosolic delivery to damaged lysosomes. BSGs stabilize membrane lesions, suppress lysosomal leakage and restore lysosomal acidification, pH homeostasis and metabolic fitness, thereby recapitulating the 'plugging' behavior of native stress granules at sites of membrane injury. This work establishes biomimetic organelle repair as a general, materials-driven paradigm to restore innate immunity against intracellular infections - without escalating antibiotics or genetic manipulation.\n\nID: 42597981\nTitle: Morquio syndrome masquerading as juvenile idiopathic Arthritis: A case report.\nAbstract: Morquio syndrome, or Mucopolysaccharidosis type IV (MPS IV), is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by enzyme deficiencies involved in glycosaminoglycan degradation. Progressive accumulation of these molecules leads to skeletal dysplasia, joint deformities, and variable systemic complications. Early features may mimic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), delaying diagnosis. We report a 16-year-old adolescent previously diagnosed with polyarticular JIA and treated with biological therapy since age 7. He presented with generalized polyarthralgia, significant skeletal deformities, and a 6 cm leg length discrepancy. Clinical examination revealed hand deformities, thoracic cage enlargement, and spinal involvement. Radiographs demonstrated dysplastic femoral heads and shoulder deformities. Laboratory tests were negative for autoimmune markers. Urinary glycosaminoglycan analysis and targeted genetic testing of the glucosamine N-acetyl-6-sulfatase (GALNS) gene confirmed Morquio syndrome. The patient was referred for genetic counseling and orthopedic management. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of differentiating MPS IV from JIA, particularly in patients with atypical skeletal features or poor response to immunomodulatory therapy. Recognition of radiological abnormalities, family history, and consanguinity is essential. Early diagnosis allows for appropriate enzyme replacement therapy, surgical interventions, and multidisciplinary care to optimize outcomes. Morquio syndrome can masquerade as polyarticular JIA. High clinical suspicion, combined with enzymatic and genetic testing, is crucial for timely diagnosis and management to improve long-term function and quality of life.\n\nID: 42597306\nTitle: Circadian regulation of osteoclast lysosomal-resorption machinery: implications for osteoporosis therapy.\nAbstract: Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic degenerative skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and compromised biomechanical properties, with its pathogenesis closely associated with excessive osteoclast activation and dysregulated bone resorption. Emerging evidence has revealed that the osteoclast lysosomal-resorption apparatus (LRA) serves not only as the principal effector system responsible for bone matrix degradation but also as a critical hub governing the circadian regulation of bone resorption. Disruption of circadian rhythms can impair LRA homeostasis and function, thereby promoting osteoclast hyperactivity and accelerating pathological bone loss. In this review, we systematically summarize the mechanistic roles of the LRA in osteoclastic bone resorption and comprehensively discuss the multilayered regulatory network through which the circadian clock modulates LRA activity. Particular emphasis is placed on the pathological significance of circadian clock-LRA interactions in distinct forms of osteoporosis. Furthermore, we highlight emerging therapeutic strategies targeting circadian regulation and lysosomal homeostasis restoration as potential approaches for osteoporosis intervention. Elucidating the mechanistic basis of the circadian clock-LRA axis will not only advance our understanding of osteoporosis pathogenesis and progression but also provide a theoretical framework for chronopharmacology and rhythm-based therapeutic interventions. These insights may ultimately facilitate the development of more precise and personalized strategies for osteoporosis prevention, treatment, and long-term management.\n\nID: 42596563\nTitle: Clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of renal involvement in Fabry disease.\nAbstract: Fabry disease is an X-linked hereditary lysosomal storage disease caused by variants in the\u00a0GLA gene. These variants result in reduced or absent \u03b1-galactosidase A (\u03b1-Gal A) enzyme activity, leading to the progressive accumulation of enzyme metabolism substrates in multiple organs. This accumulation\u00a0ultimately causes\u00a0systemic clinical manifestations involving multiple organ systems. Renal involvement is a common clinical manifestation in Fabry disease and an important determinant of morbidity and disease progression. Early identification and active intervention of renal involvement in Fabry disease can effectively slow the progression of renal function deterioration and may significantly reduce the incidence of secondary cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events in advanced stages of Fabry disease nephropathy. This review\u00a0summarizes\u00a0the latest research\u00a0advances\u00a0on renal involvement in Fabry disease, covering\u00a0its epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic indicators, differential diagnosis and treatment strategies, in order to deepen the understanding of renal involvement in Fabry disease and reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.\n\nID: 42596099\nTitle: Lysosomal Rewiring Perpetuates Tumor Immune Evasion in Cancer.\nAbstract: Lysosomes are central regulators of cellular homeostasis, integrating catabolic and anabolic reactions to sustain metabolism. In cancer, however, lysosomal function is not merely upregulated but selectively rewired into distinct, context-dependent states that actively drive tumor immune evasion. This review proposes a conceptual framework linking metabolic, oxidative, oncogenic, and inflammatory pressures to six dominant lysosomal rewiring programs. Chronic nutrient deprivation and hypoxia activate AMPK-ULK1 and HIF signaling, promoting TFEB/TFE3-dependent lysosomal biogenesis, hyper-acidification, and autophagosome-lysosome fusion, collectively degrading immune effectors such as IL-1\u03b2 and MHC complexes and impairing T-cell priming. Disseminated tumor cells exploit TPC2-mediated Ca2+ signaling and GLS1-dependent metabolism to buffer oxidative stress and support metastatic colonization, while dysregulated PI3K-AKT-mTOR and MYC signaling drive lysosomal peripheralization and lysosomal biogenesis through Arl8b-BORC-kinesin complexes, facilitating cathepsin-mediated exocytosis and MHC-I degradation. Chronic inflammation, sustained by tumor-associated macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and IL-6/IL-10 gradients, further reinforce immune suppression. Beyond mechanisms, we also assess the translational readiness of the implicated molecular mediators, distinguishing those with established pharmacological outcomes, such as PI3K-AKT-mTOR inhibitors and repurposed chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, from mediators that remain strictly preclinical, including TPC2, Arl8b-BORC, and CMTM6/DHHC3, or that are currently undruggable, such as TFEB/TFE3. By framing lysosomes as state-specific orchestrators of immune escape rather than uniform stress organelles, this review offers a mechanistic and translational roadmap for developing lysosome-directed strategies to restore anti-tumor immunity.\n\nID: 42596071\nTitle: An expanding role for ATG8s and ATG8 E3-like ligases in maintaining membrane integrity.\nAbstract: Endolysosomal membranes are frequently damaged by pathogenic stress associated with aging, infection, and neurodegeneration, and failure to repair such damage leads to inflammation and cell death. Recent advances identify membrane ATG8 conjugation (atg8ylation) as a key process that links damage detection to coordinated lysosomal repair, removal, and regeneration. Beyond its canonical role in macroautophagy, membrane atg8ylation also occurs on preexisting, non-autophagosomal single membranes through Conjugation of ATG8s to Single Membranes (CASM), positioning this pathway as a rapid response to membrane stress. Two E3-like ligase complexes, ATG16L1-ATG5-ATG12 and TECPR1-ATG5-ATG12, act as complementary sensors of lysosomal injury by detecting distinct physicochemical cues, including proton gradient collapse and lipid scrambling. These ligases convert damage signals into spatially restricted membrane atg8ylation, generating a membrane-associated platform that coordinates multiple downstream pathways. These include ESCRT-dependent membrane repair, ER-lysosome lipid transfer, membrane tubulation, and stress granule formation. When repair fails, membrane atg8ylation regulates lysophagy and activates lysosomal biogenesis and regeneration to restore lysosomal homeostasis. These emerging findings define membrane atg8ylation as a central organizer of membrane quality control rather than a pathway merely confined to macroautophagy. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of how membrane atg8ylation detects lysosomal damage and how this pathway coordinates other lysosomal quality control mechanisms to maintain lysosomal integrity.\n\nID: 42596035\nTitle: Pompe Disease: From a Cardiovascular Lens.\nAbstract: Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type 2, acid maltase deficiency) is an uncommon, progressive, autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a lack of the enzyme acid \u03b1-glucosidase. The enzyme deficiency results in the abnormal buildup of glycogen in lysosomes, especially in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. The disease can affect multiple organ systems, notably the cardiovascular system. The introduction and approval of enzyme replacement therapy (alglucosidase alfa; Myozyme/Lumizyme) in 2006 dramatically changed the outlook for infantile-onset Pompe disease, transforming what was once a uniformly fatal cardiomyopathy into a treatable condition. Nonetheless, long-term follow-up of patients receiving enzyme replacement therapy has uncovered ongoing cardiac issues; persistent conduction defects, arrhythmias, and residual myocardial fibrosis highlight the need for continued cardiovascular monitoring in these individuals.\n\nID: 42595851\nTitle: MARCH2/3 target Fc\u03b3RI for K27-linked polyubiquitination and degradation to restrict the inflammatory response.\nAbstract: IgG Fc gamma receptor I (Fc\u03b3RI) belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and plays a pivotal role in immune regulation. The post-translational regulation of Fc\u03b3RI and its effects on immune regulation are unclear. In this study, we identified the membrane-associated RING-CH-type finger (MARCH) E3 ubiquitin ligases MARCH2 and MARCH3 as physiological regulators of Fc\u03b3RI. MARCH2 and MARCH3 associate with Fc\u03b3RI and mediate its K27-linked polyubiquitination at K336 and K368, respectively, leading to subsequent lysosomal degradation. While deficiency of either MARCH2 or MARCH3 modestly increases Fc\u03b3RI levels as well as LPS- and IgG-induced transcription of downstream genes, double knockout of MARCH2/3 has a more dramatic effect. Double knockout of MARCH2/3 increases LPS-induced transcription of downstream genes in wild-type but not Fc\u03b3RI knockout cells, and reconstitution of Fc\u03b3RIK336R/K368R into Fc\u03b3RI-deficient cells increases LPS-induced transcription of the downstream genes to a higher degree than reconstitution with wild-type Fc\u03b3RI. Individual knockout of MARCH2 or MARCH3 sensitizes mice to LPS-induced lung injury and Salmonella typhimurium-induced inflammation, and these effects are more severe in MARCH2/3 double-knockout mice. These findings suggest that MARCH2 and MARCH3 redundantly target Fc\u03b3RI for K27-linked polyubiquitination and lysosomal degradation, thereby acting as host factors to limit the Fc\u03b3RI-mediated inflammatory response and pathogenesis.\n\nID: 42595239\nTitle: Decoding TREM2: A microglial receptor governing the fate of myelin.\nAbstract: Impaired myelin integrity and defective myelin regeneration represent core pathological features shared by central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's disease (AD), ischemic cerebral white matter lesions and spinal cord injury (SCI). Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) is highly enriched in central resident microglia; it is also expressed by border-associated macrophages and lesion-infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages, rather than being restricted to parenchymal microglia, acting as a key membrane receptor regulating microglial immune balance, lipid transport, lysosomal degradation and cell polarization. Existing studies demonstrate that TREM2 binds various ligands including myelin lipid debris, apolipoprotein E (APOE) and apoptotic cell components, then activates multiple DNAX-activating protein of 12\u202fkDa (DAP12)-dependent signaling cascades: spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC\u03b32), beta-catenin and transcription factor EB (TFEB). These pathways jointly clear myelin debris, remodel cholesterol circulation, restrain pro-inflammatory microenvironment and promote oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPCs) differentiation, exerting bidirectional functions in physiological myelin homeostasis, acute injury response and chronic repair. This narrative review summarizes TREM2's gene and protein structure, ligand recognition modes and full signal transduction network. It illustrates the molecular mechanisms of TREM2 in myelin maintenance, debris clearance and regeneration, compares its distinct pathological roles in various demyelinating diseases, and concludes translational strategies including TREM2 agonism, downstream pathway intervention and biomarker exploitation. Furthermore, this narrative review analyzes unsolved core scientific issues and puts forward research routes for mechanistic research and clinical transformation, offering systematic theoretical basis for targeted drug development against demyelinating encephalopathies.\n\nID: 42595026\nTitle: Hazard of mixture of pollutants to aquatic organisms: evaluation of the effects of imidacloprid, tebuconazole, and microplastics in the RTL-W1 cell line.\nAbstract: Pesticides and microplastics coexist in aquatic ecosystems, creating complex exposure scenarios that remain insufficiently explored in ecotoxicology. This study evaluated the cytotoxic and enzymatic responses of RTL-W1 cells exposed to Imidacloprid (IMI), Tebuconazole (TEB), and polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs), individually and in mixture scenarios. Cytotoxicity was assessed using Alamar Blue, CFDA-AM, and Neutral Red Uptake assays, while cytochrome P450-1A (CYP1A) activity was evaluated through the EROD assay. Isolated exposures to IMI, TEB, and PE-MPs were not cytotoxic. In contrast, pesticide mixtures (IMI +TEB) affected all endpoints, suggesting potential interactive effects such as additive or synergistic interactions. High concentrations of TEB markedly suppressed EROD activity, whereas a combination of high IMI and low TEB concentrations induced CYP1A activity. When PE-MPs were included in the mixtures, lysosomal function was the most sensitive endpoint, particularly in combinations containing TEB. These findings provide insights into contaminant interactions in fish cells and their effects.\n\nID: 42593674\nTitle: SMS1 and SMS2 differentially regulate platinum chemotherapy sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells.\nAbstract: Altered platinum chemotherapy sensitivity is a major determinant of treatment outcome in ovarian cancer; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive chemotherapy responses remain incompletely understood. Sphingomyelin synthase 1 (SMS1) and sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2), key enzymes involved in sphingomyelin biosynthesis, have been implicated in cancer biology, but their roles in platinum chemotherapy response remain unclear. SMS1 and SMS2 expression was evaluated in ovarian cancer cells following chemotherapy exposure. Gain- and loss-of-function approaches were used to investigate their effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and chemotherapy sensitivity, while biochemical assays were performed to explore underlying mechanisms. Cisplatin selectively induced SMS1, but not SMS2, expression at both mRNA and protein levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Silencing of either SMS1 or SMS2 inhibited cell growth, promoted apoptosis, and enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin and paclitaxel. However, only SMS1 overexpression consistently protected cells against cisplatin- and paclitaxel-induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, SMS1 depletion caused lysosomal impairment, increased lipid peroxidation, and enhanced lysosome-associated oxidative injury, whereas SMS2 depletion induced oxidative stress-related alterations without a clearly defined dominant downstream mechanism. Importantly, multiple platinum agents, including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, selectively induced SMS1 expression, and SMS1 depletion enhanced sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy. Clinical survival analysis further revealed that high SMS1 expression was associated with poorer outcomes, particularly in patients receiving Taxol plus platinum-based chemotherapy. SMS1 and SMS2 differentially regulate platinum chemotherapy sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells. SMS1 functions as a platinum-induced adaptive resistance factor by maintaining lysosomal homeostasis and supporting tumor cell survival. Disrupting SMS1-mediated adaptation may represent a potential strategy to enhance platinum chemotherapy efficacy. Although SMS2 contributes to chemotherapy response, its downstream mechanisms remain to be further elucidated.\n\nID: 42593645\nTitle: Potential of imidazole derivatives in reducing vascular complications in experimental diabetes.\nAbstract: Diabetes-induced endothelial dysfunction significantly contributes to cardiovascular complications, yet there is a limited availability of effective targeted therapies. This study assessed two novel imidazole derivatives, DMB-PTCI and ADBPI, through an integrated multiscale approach that includes quantum chemical analysis, in vivo validation, and computational modelling. Density functional theory revealed that DMB-PTCI exhibits a narrower HOMO-LUMO gap (2.96 vs. 3.91\u00a0eV), higher electrophilicity (1.88 vs. 1.25\u00a0eV), and greater softness (0.18 vs. 0.16\u00a0eV\u207b\u00b9) compared to ADBPI, indicating enhanced reactivity. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, DMB-PTCI and ADBPI significantly reduced fasting blood glucose levels from 285.0\u2009\u00b1\u200915.5\u00a0mg/dL to 121.2\u2009\u00b1\u20096.7\u00a0mg/dL and 148.7\u2009\u00b1\u20096.5\u00a0mg/dL, respectively. Additionally, these treatments restored insulin levels from 3.9\u2009\u00b1\u20090.4 \u00b5IU/mL to 9.9\u2009\u00b1\u20090.4 \u00b5IU/mL and 9.2\u2009\u00b1\u20090.3 \u00b5IU/mL. Both compounds demonstrated improvements in lipid profiles, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial biomarkers. Notably, DMB-PTCI exhibited stronger effects, as indicated by lower malondialdehyde levels (53.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9 nmol/g tissue) and higher nitric oxide levels (28.7\u2009\u00b1\u20090.7 nmol/g tissue). Molecular docking studies on human lysosomal acid-\u03b1-glucosidase revealed that DMB-PTCI binds more strongly (-8.455\u00a0kcal/mol) than ADBPI (-7.590\u00a0kcal/mol) and the reference ligand (-5.102\u00a0kcal/mol). This finding is further supported by MM-PBSA binding free energy calculations, which yielded a value of -11.60\u2009\u00b1\u20098.66\u00a0kcal/mol. Additionally, ADMET analysis indicated a prolonged half-life for DMB-PTCI (108.60\u00a0h), while ADBPI demonstrated higher oral bioavailability (0.97). Overall, DMB-PTCI consistently demonstrated superior performance across theoretical, experimental, and computational evaluations. This highlights its potential as a leading candidate for managing diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction and suggests the need for further preclinical investigation.ADMET profiling revealed safety concerns, including the risk of hepatotoxicity and poor solubility associated with DMB-PTCI, indicating the need for further structural optimization and preclinical validation prior to clinical translation.\n\nID: 42592445\nTitle: A destination-driven framework for nanoparticle-enabled targeted protein degradation.\nAbstract: Targeted protein degradation (TPD) offers a revolutionary paradigm to eliminate disease-driving proteins. Given the distinct technical requirements and challenges associated with degrading intracellular versus extracellular proteins, we classify existing TPD strategies based on subcellular localization into two categories: intracellular TPD (iTPD), which targets proteins within the cytoplasm and nucleus, and extracellular TPD (eTPD), which focuses on membrane-bound and secreted proteins. This destination-based framework facilitates precise technology selection and rational design by aligning methods with the biological context of their targets. However, the clinical translation of TPD remains constrained by a significant \"delivery gap\". Current nanotechnological approaches are often discussed monolithically, despite the fundamentally distinct delivery requirements between iTPD and eTPD. For iTPD, the primary nanocarrier role is to confer fundamental drug-like properties to overcome systemic pharmacokinetic hurdles. Conversely, for eTPD, the nanoplatform's chief function is to engineer cellular engagement, enhance internalization, and orchestrate correct intracellular trafficking to the lysosome. This review will dissect the distinct challenges inherent to each \"geographic\" space and detail the tailored nano-playbooks being developed to address them. We will further explore the convergence of these two worlds and the emergence of nanoparticles as intrinsic degraders. Ultimately, we argue that a location-aware design philosophy is essential for unlocking the full therapeutic potential of TPD.\n\nID: 42592371\nTitle: Diabetes Type 2: Circulating Phosphatidylserine-Expressing Platelets Regulate Whole Blood Agonist-Evoked Platelet Activity In Vitro.\nAbstract: Background Platelet agonists responses in vitro (i.e., reactivity) include the creation of phosphatidylserine (PS)-exposing platelets together with the activation of the fibrinogen receptors (\u03b1 IIb \u03b2 3 ) and lysosomal exocytosis. It is feasible to judge the activation pathways by analyzing platelet surface annexin V, the activated fibrinogen receptor (PAC-1), and the release of lysosomal-associated membrane protein (LAMP-1), correspondingly. We postulate that, in type 2 diabetes (T2DM), surface PS of circulating platelets, unprovoked in vitro , links with whole blood (WB) agonist-induced responses. Patients and Methods After informed consent, T2DM subjects ( n = 35) were enrolled. A Percoll gradient (1.09-1.04 kg/L) separated their normal-sized platelets according to density into subpopulations ( n = 8). A flow cytometer analyzed surface annexin V (mean fluorescence intensity [MFI]) of the subfractions, unprovoked ex vivo. The datasets were subsequently correlated with platelet WB agonist-induced responses (i.e., annexin V, PAC-1, and LAMP-1 [all MFI]) to \u03b1-thrombin (10 \u03bcM), cross-linked collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL, 0.15 \u03bcg/mL), and adenosine diphosphate (ADP, 5 \u03bcM) in vitro. Results Surface annexin V (MFI) of most platelet subfractions and the magnitudes of WB agonist-induced annexin V (MFI) of normal-sized platelets in vitro associated closely. Such PS-expressing platelets also linked inversely with WB agonist-evoked surface PAC-1 (MFI) (all used agonists) and LAMP-1 (MFI) (CRP-XL, ADP only). It is concluded that surface PS, unprovoked in vitro, of most density-separated platelets connected with platelet reactivity, i.e., their WB agonist-evoked reactions in the test tube.\n\nID: 42592152\nTitle: Targeted nanoparticles with triggered lysosomal escape enable anti-angiogenic immunotherapy for peritoneal metastatic colorectal cancer.\nAbstract: Peritoneal metastatic colorectal cancer (PMC) is highly aggressive and resistant to anti-angiogenic monotherapy due to the angiogenesis-immunosuppression vicious cycle. This study develops dual-ligand modified nanoparticles (Reg/DMX@BPF NPs), co-loaded with the angiogenesis inhibitor regorafenib (Reg) and the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist DMXAA (DMX). Reg prevents DMX aggregation as a molecular scaffold via \u03c0-\u03c0 stacking. The folic acid (FA) and phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized BSA (BPF) facilitates active tumor targeting and metastatic site enrichment. Upon internalization into lysosomes, the acidic pH triggers boronate ester bond formation between PBA and glycoproteins, inducing lysosomal disruption and efficient cytosolic release. In addition to STING activation, the BPF potently activates toll-like receptor 4 signaling, synergistically inducing M1 tumor-associated macrophages polarization and dendritic cells maturation. In vivo results demonstrate that Reg/DMX@BPF NPs synergistically inhibit tumor proliferation, normalize pathological vasculature, and reprogram the immunosuppressive microenvironment, which leads to reduced tumor burden and ascites. Collectively, the targeted lysosome-escape nanoparticles provide a novel strategy to overcome the poor efficacy of anti-angiogenic therapy against PMC.\n\nID: 42591737\nTitle: TRIM32 drives head and neck squamous cell carcinoma progression via TP53 suppression and lysosomal/autophagy dysregulation.\nAbstract: The TRIM32 has been implicated in tumorigenesis across various cancers; however, its functional significance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) requires systematic investigation. This study sought to explore the expression and biological function of TRIM32 in HNSCC tissues to identify new targets or biomarkers for HNSCC diagnosis and treatment. HNSCC samples were extracted for TRIM32 expression profiling, with subsequent integration of clinical samples for validation. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed using the c2.cp.kegg.v7.4.symbols.gmt gene set. Immune cell infiltration was evaluated using the ESTIMATE algorithm. Following TRIM32 knockdown via small interfering RNA (siRNA) in HNSCC cell lines (HSC-3, FADU), proliferation and invasion capacities were assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays, respectively. Western blotting was conducted to analyse protein expression within the TRIM32-p53-LAMP1/2-LC3B pathway. Integrated bioinformatics analysis and clinical sample validation revealed significantly elevated TRIM32 expression in HNSCC, correlating with poor patient prognosis. GSEA demonstrated significant enrichment of autophagy and p53 signalling pathways within the TRIM32 high-expression group. In vitro experiments confirmed that TRIM32 silencing suppressed proliferation and invasion capacities in HSC-3 and FADU cell lines. Western blotting further delineated that TRIM32 regulates autophagic flux through the TRIM32-p53-LAMP1/2-LC3B axis. The ESTIMATE algorithm indicated a significant association between TRIM32 expression and immune cell infiltration, suggesting a potential role in remodelling the tumour immune microenvironment. TRIM32 expression is significantly elevated in HNSCC, indicating its potential as an adverse prognostic marker. Experimental evidence demonstrates that TRIM32 facilitates cellular proliferation and migration, significantly influences lysosomal function and autophagy processes within HNSCC cells, and is verified to negatively regulate tumour protein 53 (TP53). These mechanisms contribute to the aggressive behaviour of HNSCC.\n\nID: 42591164\nTitle: Podocyte-specific acid sphingomyelinase overexpression promotes gasdermin D dependent pyroptosis by impairing autophagic flux during obesity.\nAbstract: Recent studies suggest that gasdermin D (GSDMD) pore formation contributes to inflammasome-mediated cytokine release and pyroptosis in podocytes under pathological conditions. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating GSDMD pore formation in these cells remain unclear. Given the established role of the lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase (ASM)-ceramide pathway in obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG), we investigated whether ASM regulates obesity-induced GSDMD pore formation and pyroptosis in podocytes, thereby influencing the progression of ORG. We found that podocyte-specific Smpd1 (the gene encoding ASM) overexpression markedly enhanced high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, GSDMD N-terminal fragment (GSDMD-NT) generation, and pyroptosis in glomeruli of Smpd1trg/Podocre mice compared to wild-type controls. Pharmacological inhibition of ASM or the NLRP3 inflammasome attenuated these pathological changes in obese mice. In contrast, inhibition of GSDMD pore formation with disulfiram (DIS) prevented HFD-induced pyroptosis without affecting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Consistently, obesity-induced podocyte injury and glomerulosclerosis were exacerbated by ASM overexpression but alleviated by inhibition of ASM, the NLRP3 inflammasome, or GSDMD pore formation. Using primary podocytes isolated from wild-type, Smpd1 knockout (Smpd1-/-), and Smpd1trg/Podocre mice, we further demonstrated that palmitic acid (PA), an obesity-associated lipotoxic factor, induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, GSDMD pore formation, inflammasome product release, and pyroptosis. These responses were suppressed by Smpd1 deletion but enhanced by ASM overexpression. Confocal and super-resolution microscopy revealed that PA increased the accumulation of autophagosomes containing GSDMD-NT while impairing lysosome-autophagosome fusion, effects that were mitigated by Smpd1 deletion and amplified by ASM overexpression. To further elucidate the underlying mechanism, we examined whether ASM regulates lysosomal TRPML1 channel-mediated Ca2+ release, thereby controlling lysosome-autophagosome interaction and GSDMD-NT degradation. PA inhibited TRPML1 channel activity in podocytes, an effect that was intensified by ASM overexpression. Furthermore, PA-induced impairment of lysosome-autophagosome interaction and increased GSDMD pore formation were attenuated by the TRPML1 agonist ML-SA5 and exacerbated by the TRPML1 inhibitor ML-SI1. Collectively, these findings indicate that ASM regulates lysosomal function and autophagic degradation of GSDMD-NT, thereby controlling GSDMD pore formation and pyroptosis in podocytes during ORG.\n\nID: 42591063\nTitle: Nucleoside-Modified mRNA Encoding Alpha-Galactosidase A Ameliorates Fabry Disease Phenotypes in Human IPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes.\nAbstract: The lysosomal storage disorder Fabry disease results from \u03b1-galactosidase A deficiency, leading to excessive glycosphingolipid substrate accumulation, primarily globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). While the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive, multi-systemic complications ultimately culminate in premature death, with heart failure being the leading cause of death. Current treatment options fail to treat Fabry disease adequately and only delay its progression. Preclinical studies on an alternative approach, systemic delivery of nucleoside-modified GLA mRNA (modGLA), suggest improved effectiveness over existing therapies in reducing glycosphingolipid levels in the heart. It remains unclear whether modGLA can rescue Fabry cardiomyopathy phenotypes at the cellular level, which are not faithfully recapitulated in current animal models. To address this, we investigated characteristic phenotypes in two new models of Fabry cardiomyopathy utilizing human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes in transcriptomic and functional analyses. These human Fabry disease cardiomyocytes displayed broad transcriptional dysregulation, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired reactive oxygen species handling, altered contractility, and enhanced calcium transient decay parameters. Mechanistically, phospholamban hyperphosphorylation may contribute to this calcium dysregulation. Consistently, modGLA therapy restored \u03b1-galactosidase A activity, reduced glycosphingolipid deposition, and normalized molecular alterations, including phospholamban hyperphosphorylation and calcium decay parameters, supporting modGLA as a promising therapeutic strategy for Fabry disease.\n\nID: 42590944\nTitle: Selective cellular vulnerability and resilience in amyloidosis: insights from the 2025 International Society of Amyloidosis Workshop.\nAbstract: Amyloidosis is characterized by hierarchical organ-specific targeting related to the nature and amino acid sequence of the precursor protein. However, several crucial aspects of tissue vulnerability and resilience to amyloid deposition and toxicity remain poorly defined. The amino acid sequence of the amyloid protein is a primary determinant of organ targeting. Cryo-electron microscopy reveals common fibril architectures across organs, indicating interactions with shared tissue constituents. The interaction with the microenvironment, comprising glycosaminoglycans, collagen, endoproteases, and tissue cells, may underlie tissue vulnerability. Cellular interactions involve internalization of amyloid precursors, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, reactive oxygen species production, and proteotoxicity, particularly in cardiomyocytes and mesangial cells. Increased structural dynamics in amyloidogenic light chains promote improper interactions with cell constituents. Tissue-specific proteostasis capacity declines with age, contributing to tissue vulnerability in elderly patients. Parallels with neurodegenerative diseases underscore selective cellular susceptibility due to proteostatic overload and metabolic stress. Evidence shows that the amino acid sequence of the amyloid protein, microenvironmental factors, and cell-intrinsic and extracellular proteostatic capacity jointly determine tissue vulnerability and resilience in amyloidosis, with relative contributions varying by amyloid protein. Identifying key determinants provides actionable targets for improving the care of systemic and localized amyloidosis.\n\nID: 42590337\nTitle: Mechanisms of In Vitro Cytotoxicity of Honeybee Venom Components and Melittin-Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles on HaCaT Keratinocytes and A375 Melanoma Cells.\nAbstract: Melittin (Mel), the principal cytolytic peptide in honeybee venom (BV), has anticancer activity but limited selectivity. This study examined whether adsorption of Mel to Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs and MNPs-Mel, respectively), alone or combined with magnetic hyperthermia (MH), modifies cytotoxicity and cell-death phenotype in A375 melanoma cells relative to HaCaT keratinocytes. BV, free Mel, and phospholipase A2 (PLA) were first screened by Alamar Blue assay to select dose-matched conditions; MNPs-Mel (50 or 100 \u00b5g/mL MNPs, equivalent to approximately 3 or 6 \u00b5g/mL Mel) was then compared with dose-matched free Mel and unfunctionalized MNPs, and the MNP-containing groups were additionally evaluated with MH. Outcomes included metabolic activity, Annexin V/propidium iodide flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and clonogenic potential. At the lower dose, MNPs-Mel produced a larger Annexin-positive fraction in A375 than in HaCaT cells (28.30% vs. 11.80%) and a lower viable-cell fraction (71.64% vs. 87.55%); relative to dose-matched free Mel, the A375 response shifted toward early apoptosis. After MNPs-Mel plus MH, too few A375 cells remained for reliable cytometric acquisition, whereas HaCaT populations remained quantifiable and showed 25.56-29.45% apoptosis, predominantly late apoptosis. Free PLA produced smaller changes in metabolic activity than BV or Mel at composition-matched concentrations. TEM supported nanoparticle internalization and treatment-associated mitochondrial and lysosomal alterations. These findings suggest that MNP association changes the cellular presentation of low-dose Mel, while MH increases overall treatment intensity but may narrow the separation between malignant and nonmalignant cells.\n\nID: 42590231\nTitle: Association Between Progranulin (PGRN) Levels in Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid with Integrated Clinical Indices in Patients with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a potentially treatable syndrome, but biologically informative biomarkers remain limited. Progranulin (PGRN) constitutes a pleiotropic growth factor involved in neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, and tissue repair, which has not been adequately studied in iNPH. The purpose of this study was to examine the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of PGRN in corresponding patients with suspected iNPH and its correlation with integrated clinical, functional, and neuroradiological parameters. Methods: Thirteen patients with probable iNPH underwent an evaluation protocol, including clinical assessment, neuroradiological evaluation, Tap-test with concomitant gait analysis, and paired serum/CSF sampling. PGRN concentrations in biofluids were measured by ELISA. Correlation analyses were performed. Composite Tap-test response variable derived from quantitative gait-improvement indices was modeled using ridge-logistic regression with leave-one-out cross-validation. Results: In the between-group analyses, serum and CSF concentrations of PGRN were not correlated (r = -0.10, p = 0.74), suggesting that peripheral and intrathecal PGRN behave as non-redundant, compartment-specific readouts rather than as interchangeable measures of the same biological process. Higher CSF concentration of PGRN was nominally associated with older age (r = 0.69, p = 0.009) and with poorer turning-time improvement after the Tap-test (r = -0.62, p = 0.025), while serum concentration of PGRN showed no meaningful associations with clinical or neuroradiological variables. In the model of logistic regression, inclusion of CSF concentration of PGRN substantially improved discrimination of Tap-test response. The full ridge-logistic regression model, including serum and CSF concentration of PGRN, symptom duration, and Kiefer score, achieved an accuracy of 0.923 and an AUC of 0.881. The CSF concentration of PGRN coefficient remained consistently negative across bootstrap resamples (penalized OR 0.434; 95% CI: 0.354-0.697), indicating that higher baseline CSF concentration of PGRN was associated with a lower probability of significant short-term Tap-test response, whereas serum PGRN contributed negligibly to the model. Conclusions: The observed changes in PGRN in CSF may reflect compartment-specific intrathecal inflammatory or tissue-stress processes and may help identify patients with lower short-term responsiveness to CSF drainage. These findings support further longitudinal evaluation of CSF concentration of PGRN for biological stratification and prognostic refinement in iNPH.\n\nID: 42590185\nTitle: Serial Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Evolution of Late-Onset Female Danon Disease Initially Diagnosed as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Danon disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal disorder caused by pathogenic variants in LAMP2. In women, cardiac involvement may occur later in life and may resemble sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), particularly when extracardiac manifestations are absent or subtle. A 42-year-old woman presented with chest discomfort in 2017 and was initially diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). She underwent serial 3.0-T cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) over an 8-year period. Initial CMR showed left-ventricular hypertrophy, preserved left-ventricular ejection fraction (65.0%), increased native T1 and T2 relaxation times, extracellular volume (ECV) of 24.9%, and patchy apical late gadolinium enhancement (LGE extent, 12.35%). Five years later, worsening dyspnea was accompanied by increased left-ventricular mass index, higher native T1 and ECV, greater LGE extent (15.18%), and slow atrial fibrillation with ventricular ectopy on Holter monitoring. Genetic testing identified a likely pathogenic LAMP2 variant, c.928G>A (p.Val310Ile), supporting the diagnosis of Danon disease in the clinical context. During a subsequent readmission three years later with acute amaurosis and dyspnea, no definite neurologic cause was identified in the available record. Repeat CMR showed the highest recorded native T1 and ECV values and diffuse LGE with relatively less interventricular-septal involvement, particularly in the basal septum (LGE extent, 24.59%); repeat Holter monitoring showed frequent long R-R intervals and ventricular escape beats. Because of progressive imaging and electrical deterioration, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy and heart-transplantation assessment were recommended, and the patient ultimately chose to proceed with pre-transplant assessment in December 2025. Conclusions: Female LAMP2-related Danon disease may initially resemble HCM, but differs from it with diffusely abnormal T1/ECV measurements. Follow up in our case revealed progressive storage cardiomyopathy with diffuse myocardial injury and clinically relevant bradyarrhythmia.\n\nID: 42589716\nTitle: Beyond Neurodegeneration: White Matter Vacuolation as a Primary Myelin Defect.\nAbstract: Spongiform degeneration, or status spongiosis, is characterized by vacuoles within the central nervous system. It appears in numerous neurological diseases, including transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, mitochondrial disorders, and lysosomal storage diseases. Traditionally considered secondary to neurodegeneration, vacuolar changes frequently involve white matter and form within the myelin sheath. This review examines the evidence from various diseases and genetic models that exhibit this pathology to support the hypothesis that white matter vacuolation represents a myelin defect and explores potential causative mechanisms. Our findings suggest that spongiform change in white matter represents a common endpoint of pathway disruptions that lead to metabolic or ionic dyshomeostasis, causing an osmotic imbalance and vacuole formation within myelin. We advocate for further research into myelin-preserving pathways as potential therapeutic avenues to treat conditions exhibiting this pathology.\n\nID: 42589505\nTitle: Immuno-Inflammatory Profiling and Complement Activation in Fabry Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.\nAbstract: Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by \u03b1-galactosidase A deficiency, leading to glycosphingolipid accumulation and progressive organ damage. Beyond substrate storage, low-grade inflammation and complement activation have been increasingly implicated in FD pathogenesis, yet a comprehensive characterization of this immuno-inflammatory profile is lacking. In this exploratory cross-sectional study, fifteen patients with FD and fifteen age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were assessed using a broad panel of systemic inflammatory, humoral immunity/complement, hematological, and endothelial biomarkers, integrated through univariate analysis (Cliff's delta, \u03b4), penalized least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, and unsupervised hierarchical clustering. Fibrinogen (\u03b4 = 0.60, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.24-0.88), sTNFR2 (\u03b4 = 0.48, 95% CI 0.08-0.80), complement C4 (\u03b4 = 0.53, 95% CI 0.13-0.84), and lymphocyte count (\u03b4 = 0.52, 95% CI 0.15-0.85) showed the largest between-group effect sizes among the immuno-inflammatory biomarkers assessed, with higher levels in FD. Fibrinogen and sTNFR2 were the most stable predictors in LASSO bootstrap resampling (selected in 75.0% and 69.5% of iterations, respectively), and unsupervised clustering segregated FD from HCs with high accuracy (90% FD enrichment in the high-biomarker cluster; p < 0.001). These convergent findings indicate that FD is characterized by a distinct low-grade immuno-inflammatory profile dominated by innate immune and complement activation.\n\nID: 42589493\nTitle: Moranoline-Enriched Bacillus velezensis AmoreLumina Culture Extract Attenuates Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation in Acne-Prone Skin.\nAbstract: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) results from inflammatory responses that leave persistent dark spots around pores after acne lesions are resolved. This pigmentation is caused by increased melanogenesis in melanocytes stimulated by acne-causing bacteria, followed by phagocytosis of excess melanin by macrophages that remain in the dermis. Therefore, to eliminate PIH caused by acne, it is essential not only to suppress excessive melanin synthesis by melanocytes but also to promote the degradation of melanin retained within macrophages. In this study, we investigated whether a culture extract of Bacillus velezensis AmoreLumina (AL), containing more than 80% moranoline (1-Deoxynojirimycin), could inhibit acne-induced pigmentation. Moranoline reduces melanin synthesis by inhibiting the glycosylation of tyrosinase, a key melanogenic enzyme, thereby suppressing its activity. The extract suppressed the upregulation of melanogenic enzymes (tyrosinase, TRP1, and TRP2) and melanin production in melanocytes exposed to acne bacteria, while promoting melanin degradation via macrophage lysosomal activity, as assessed by the relative protein expression level of p62 using Western blotting. Furthermore, in an ex vivo human skin model subjected to acne and ultraviolet radiation-induced pigmentation, treatment with the extract (0.2%) significantly reduced pigmentation (relative delta L 2.98, p value < 0.01). These findings suggest that cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations incorporating AL extract or moranoline may potentially improve PIH caused by acne-related inflammation.\n\nID: 42589464\nTitle: Proteome-Level Autophagy-Lysosome Remodelling Marks Ageing in Human Dermal Fibroblasts and Nominates Hydroxytyrosol as a Candidate Nutraceutical.\nAbstract: Autophagy-lysosome dysfunction accompanies dermal fibroblast ageing, yet whether remodelling is transcriptional or post-transcriptional in primary human cells remains unresolved. We reanalysed the Genetic and Epigenetic Signatures of Translational Ageing Laboratory Testing(GESTALT) paired RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and tandem mass tag (TMT) proteome from 82 donors (aged 22-89) using Data Integration Analysis for Biomarker discovery using Latent cOmponents (DIABLO) for supervised multi-omics integration, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), external Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx) transcriptomic comparison, network medicine proximity mapping and CDOCKER molecular docking. Three analyses converged on the autophagy-lysosome axis: Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Lysosome ranked first in discordant-quadrant analysis; gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified vacuole organisation and macroautophagy as the top age-upregulated Gene Ontology (GO) terms; and WGCNA recovered KEGG Lysosome in the brown module. Module regression localised most proteomic age signals to the lysosomal degradative-capacity module, whereas the proteasome was unaffected. McNemar testing and GTEx comparison supported a protein-side, post-transcriptional origin. TCIRG1, CTSA and ATP6V0D1 were recurrent hubs. Network proximity computationally prioritised hydroxytyrosol as a lysosomal-degradative-capacity-preferential candidate, and CDOCKER on cathepsin A linked its advantage over tyrosol to an ortho-hydroxyl group forming additional hydrogen bonds. These results support protein-layer-dominant autophagy-lysosome remodelling as a feature of dermal fibroblast ageing and suggest a cell-type-resolved computational route from ageing proteomics to testable dietary candidates.\n\nID: 42589426\nTitle: Morphometric Inverse Divergence Networks Combined with HYDRA Identify Parkinson's Disease Subtypes with Distinct Transcriptomic and Serum Biomarker Profiles.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder, yet it remains unclear whether cortical architecture can reveal biologically distinct subtypes with distinct molecular and serum biomarker signatures. Two hundred PD patients and 121 healthy controls underwent structural MRI. Subject-specific cortical similarity networks were constructed using Morphometric INverse Divergence (MIND), and subtypes were identified with HYDRA. Spatial patterns were linked to regional gene expression from the Allen Human Brain Atlas through partial least squares regression, followed by functional and cell-type enrichment analyses. Serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were quantified using single-molecule array assays. No significant MIND differences emerged when PD patients were analysed as a single group. HYDRA identified two subtypes (ARI = 0.85) with divergent cortical organization that only partially overlapped with conventional motor phenotypes. Cluster 1 exhibited temporo-parietal MIND increases associated with synaptic and oligodendroglial signatures, without serum biomarker associations. Cluster 2 showed widespread fronto-cingulate MIND reductions enriched for mitochondrial, lysosomal, and proteostatic pathways, including the KEGG Parkinson's disease pathway, and these reductions correlated with higher serum NfL and GFAP. These findings reveal two biologically distinct PD subtypes with divergent molecular architecture and systemic neurodegeneration beyond conventional motor phenotyping.\n\nID: 42588669\nTitle: Targeting EGFR Endocytosis and Signaling for Cancer Drug Delivery and Cancer Treatment.\nAbstract: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was the first receptor tyrosine kinase identified soon after v-Src was recognized as a tyrosine kinase. EGFR signaling begins when EGF binds to EGFR at the cell surface, inducing receptor dimerization, activation, and autophosphorylation. The resulting phosphotyrosine sites recruit downstream effectors that activate signaling cascades such as the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK and PI3K-Akt pathways, thereby regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival. EGF binding also promotes EGFR endocytosis, which can direct the receptor to lysosomal degradation. Aberrant EGFR activity is associated with many cancers, and the receptor has been therapeutically targeted using small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Furthermore, EGFR endocytosis has been exploited for the targeted delivery of anticancer agents into EGFR-expressing cancer cells through antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and antibody-nanoparticle conjugates (ANCs). Although ADCs and ANCs both utilize mAbs as homing mechanisms to recognize cancer-associated antigens, they further harness EGFR endocytosis to deliver therapeutic payloads directly into target cells. In this review, we briefly discuss EGFR structure, activation, signaling, and endocytosis, as well as the mechanisms underlying EGFR function in cancer development. We then focus on current advances and future perspectives in using EGFR endocytosis pathways to improve targeted cancer drug delivery and therapy, particularly in the context of ANCs.\n\nID: 42588134\nTitle: Natural Bioactive Compounds Targeting Key Hallmarks of Aging: Functional Food Potential of Spermidine, Fisetin, Berberine, and Urolithin A.\nAbstract: Naturally derived bioactive compounds that modulate aging-associated mechanisms have attracted growing research interest, yet few reviews examine how such compounds might act together. This narrative review examines four mechanistically distinct compounds, namely spermidine, fisetin, berberine, and urolithin A, as emerging functional food ingredients with scientifically supported effects on key hallmarks of human aging. Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies. Fisetin, a flavonoid from strawberries and apples, exerts senolytic activity by selectively eliminating senescent cells via PI3K/AKT and Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibition, with emerging clinical evidence. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid from Berberis species, modulates metabolic dysfunction via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and reshapes gut microbiota composition through direct high intraluminal exposure, with the most extensive clinical dataset of the four compounds. Urolithin A, a gut microbiome-derived postbiotic from ellagitannins in pomegranates and nuts, induces mitophagy via PINK1/Parkin and has been evaluated in a growing number of registered human clinical trials. Together, the four compounds primarily target distinct but complementary aging-associated pathways (autophagy, senolysis, metabolic regulation, mitophagy), suggesting rational potential for combined functional food formulations. Limited direct evidence for their combined use and the need for dedicated co-administration studies are discussed, alongside bioavailability, safety, and regulatory considerations.\n\nID: 42588039\nTitle: Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Molecular Mechanisms, Bioavailability Challenges, and Therapeutic Perspectives.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), a key component of the Mediterranean diet, has attracted research interest because olive-derived phenolics demonstrate potential anticancer activity in experimental models. This review summarizes evidence concerning whole EVOO, phenolic-enriched EVOO, olive phenolic extracts, and the isolated compounds hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, oleocanthal, and oleacein. Methods: A structured narrative search of PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was conducted for literature published between 2015 and 2025. Evidence was reviewed for breast, prostate, colorectal, pancreatic, bone, oral, liver, gastric, hematological, and brain cancers. Comparatively limited evidence concerning cervical, endometrial, ovarian, melanoma, non-melanoma skin, and thyroid cancers was summarized separately. Results: The molecular evidence was derived primarily from cell culture and animal studies using isolated phenolics and concentrated extracts. Preclinical studies indicate that EVOO phenolics may demonstrate anticancer activity through multiple mechanisms, including antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, inhibition of metastasis, anti-angiogenic activity, and modulation of key signaling pathways, such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR, MAPK/ERK, NF-\u03baB, JAK/STAT, Wnt/\u03b2-catenin, p53, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related pathways. Most molecular and pathway-level evidence was obtained using isolated phenolic compounds in cell culture or animal models, whereas evidence directly examining whole EVOO consumption was largely observational and substantially more limited. Experimental studies also reported that oleocanthal induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization, whereas hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein promoted mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, preclinical combination studies suggested enhanced tumor-cell sensitivity to selected chemotherapeutic, targeted, and immunotherapeutic agents. However, these effects have not been established in patients. Human evidence remains limited mainly to observational dietary associations and small exploratory interventions, with no conclusive demonstration of cancer prevention or therapeutic efficacy. Conclusions: Isolated EVOO-derived phenolic compounds demonstrated promising anticancer mechanisms in preclinical models. However, these results should not be directly extrapolated to dietary EVOO because experimentally administered doses, bioavailability, metabolism, and food-matrix interactions differ substantially from human dietary exposure. Therefore, well-designed studies using chemically characterized EVOO, pharmacokinetic investigations, and controlled human trials are required before dietary or clinical recommendations can be made.\n\nID: 42587784\nTitle: Initial Molecular Detection of Membrane Damage in Post-Golgi Compartments.\nAbstract: Mammalian cells contain numerous membrane-bound organelles, of which endosomes serve as the initial destination for endocytosed molecules. Therapeutic agents are also internalized by cells and transported to endosomes or phagosomes and subsequently delivered to lysosomes for degradation. Therefore, these agents require drug delivery systems (DDSs) that enable their escape from endosomes into the cytosol before lysosomal degradation; however, endosomal escape is a major limitation of current DDSs. Studies of bacterial phagosomal escape have revealed mechanisms by which host cells detect damage to organelle membranes. These membrane damage-sensing molecules also recognize membrane damage caused by artificial DDSs or physical energy-based insults. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms underlying the early stages of membrane damage in the plasma membrane, lysosomes and bacteria-containing vacuoles (BCVs) to better understand the early stages of endosomal membrane damage in the absence of pathogens. We summarize recent advances in galectins, endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) complexes, sphingomyelin, stress granules, and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) at membrane contact sites, as well as annexins. We also discuss the recruitment kinetics of these molecules to damaged membranes. Although the recruitment kinetics vary depending on cell type and experimental conditions, this information provides a timeframe for the events following membrane damage, including damage sensing, membrane repair, and degradation of damaged organelles. We also discuss a potential fourth event, fusion between the plasma membrane and endosomes or lysosomes for membrane repair in the annexin section. Finally, we summarize approaches for inducing \"sterile\" endosomal membrane damage. Future development of these approaches may facilitate the design of novel DDSs and physical energy-based strategies for manipulating specific organelles.\n\nID: 42587775\nTitle: Macropinocytosis of Amyloid Precursor Protein Is Regulated by the Recruitment and Activity of Fe65, Arf6 and Rho GTPases.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the buildup of aggregated amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) peptides. We previously demonstrated that A\u03b2 is produced from APP following its lysosomal internalization via macropinocytosis. However, the regulation of APP macropinocytosis in neuronal cells remained uncharacterized. Arf6 and the Rho GTPases Rac1, Cdc42 and RhoA are known to regulate macropinocytosis in response to signaling at the cell surface. Fe65, an adaptor protein known to interact with APP, may link APP to these regulatory elements. We hypothesized that APP binding/crosslinking recruits Fe65, which recruits/activates Arf6 and then Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA, driving APP macropinocytosis. We found that antibody-mediated binding/crosslinking APP resulted in the transient recruitment of Fe65 and Arf6 to APP within 30 s of APP binding/crosslinking. Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA were also recruited at 30 s, but remained recruited through 2 min. The mutation of the APP 'YENPTY' sequence and Arf6 inhibition by NAV-2729 prevented the recruitment of Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA. Together, these observations are the first to demonstrate that a network of regulatory proteins is recruited to bound/crosslinked APP and regulates its macropinocytosis. Targeting these regulatory proteins to modulate APP trafficking to the lysosome could be a therapeutic strategy to reduce A\u03b2 production in AD.\n\nID: 42587771\nTitle: TRPM2 Promotes Lipophagy Through TFEB and LAL in HFD-Fed Mice.\nAbstract: An abnormality of Ca2+ signaling may aggravate lipid accumulation in steatotic hepatocytes, leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, the molecular identity of Ca2+-permeable channels and the mechanism of involvement of these channels in steatotic hepatocytes are not well-studied. In the present study, we investigated the role of a Ca2+-permeable channel TRPM2 in lipid metabolism in steatotic hepatocytes. A mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was established by high-fat-diet feeding. Fat accumulation, fibrosis, lipophagic indexes, TFEB and lysosomal acid lipase in the liver tissue and/or hepatocytes were compared between TRPM2-knockout mice and wild-type mice. Knockout of the TRPM2 gene aggravated liver fat accumulation and fibrosis. Mechanistically, the TRPM2 knockout impaired the lipophagic process, decreased lysosomal abundance and attenuated lysosomal/autolysosomal acidification in mouse hepatocytes. Furthermore, the TRPM2 knockout reduced TFEB expression and its nuclear translation and also reduced the expression/activity of lysosomal acid lipase. These data demonstrate that TRPM2 deficiency may reduce lipophagy via its action on TFEB and lysosomal acid lipase, consequently contributing to liver steatosis and NAFLD under high-fat feeding conditions.\n\nID: 42587748\nTitle: Potential Mechanisms of Platelet Dysfunction and Bleeding in Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency.\nAbstract: Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the SMPD1 gene, resulting in sphingomyelin accumulation. With a birth prevalence of 0.25-0.6 per 100,000, it is more prevalent in Ashkenazi Jewish and Middle Eastern populations. The disease features a clinical spectrum ranging from severe, early-onset neurodegeneration (infantile neurovisceral ASMD) to chronic, non-neurological visceral involvement (chronic visceral ASMD) and intermediate forms (chronic neurovisceral ASMD). The chronic visceral form is characterized by liver dysfunction, respiratory symptoms, and hepatosplenomegaly, which can lead to secondary thrombocytopenia. The majority of patients exhibit thrombocytopenia and/or mild bleeding manifestations, most commonly easy bruising and epistaxis, whereas clinically significant bleeding events, including gastrointestinal or variceal hemorrhage, occur less frequently. Systematic platelet-function studies in patients with ASMD are currently lacking. Evidence retrieved from biological models indicates that ASMD contributes to platelet dysfunction, including impaired secretion and thrombin generation, mediated by complex pathological mechanisms. These findings underscore the importance of hematological monitoring and further research in patients with this condition and could potentially offer new therapeutic possibilities.\n\nID: 42587734\nTitle: Transcriptional Responses to Bumped Kinase Inhibitor BKI-1708 in Toxoplasma gondii and Human Fibroblasts.\nAbstract: Bumped kinase inhibitors are safe with promising efficacy against apicomplexan parasites. The 5-aminopyrazole-4-carboxamide BKI-1708 effectively inhibited vertical transmission of Toxoplasma gondii and significantly reduced the cerebral parasite loads in experimentally infected pregnant mice. In vitro experiments revealed that exposure of T. gondii tachyzoites to BKI-1708 induces the formation of intracellular multinucleated complexes called \"baryzoites\", exhibiting increased expression of bradyzoite-stage proteins while still displaying classical tachyzoite markers. Differential affinity chromatography of T. gondii extracts identified numerous BKI-1708-binding proteins involved in invasion/egress, redox homeostasis, and RNA processing. To understand the transcriptional implications of BKI-1708 treatment on T. gondii tachyzoites and human foreskin fibroblast host cells, T. gondii-infected host cells, either treated with BKI-1708 or untreated, were subjected to dual RNA-seq analysis. BKI-1708 induced a significant transcriptional remodeling in the parasite, with an enrichment in pathways related to translation, RNA metabolism, and stress responses. In contrast, host-cell transcriptional changes were more limited, with transcripts related to metabolic and detoxification programs upregulated in uninfected fibroblasts, and increased transcription of immune, lysosomal, and glycan degradation pathways in infected fibroblasts. These findings suggest that BKI-1708 modulates the transcriptome in a predominantly parasite-specific manner, disrupting essential biological processes in T. gondii while largely preserving host cell function.\n\nID: 42587331\nTitle: Transplantation as disease modifying therapy in the era of gene therapy medicinal products - health policy considerations.\nAbstract: New gene therapy medicinal products [GTMP] are being considered as alternatives to liver transplant [LTx] for some patients with inherited metabolic diseases [IMDs] but pose unique challenges for health policy makers. Published data on LTx and GTMP in human patients with urea cycle defects [UCD], glycogen storage disease type 1a [GSD1a], methylmalonic aciduria [MMA] and propionic aciduria [PA] were reviewed for efficacy, safety, data quality and health policy considerations. LTx can reduce [MMA, PA] or eliminate [UCD, GSD1a] metabolic decompensation and improve quality of life. Risk of death peaks in the first year but long-term survival post LTx is similar to medical management. Initial data for GTMP show reduction in metabolic decompensation [MMA, PA, UCD] with more modest impacts in GSD1a. Long-term safety and efficacy data [available for LTx] may not be available at the time of market authorization for GTMP. Age is one health policy challenge as clinical trials for GTMP may target one age group but other age groups may request consideration for treatment. Quality concerns regarding data analysis exist for both modalities. Cost effectiveness of LTx is likely to be significantly more favorable than for GTMP. Access limitations are severe for both treatments, with high opportunity costs [price for GTMP, organ availability for LTx] mandating the need to engage the public as stakeholders in addition to patients, families, manufacturers and clinicians. LTx remains an effective treatment choice in the era of GTMP given the significant health policy challenges associated with these novel therapies.\n\nID: 42587015\nTitle: Comprehensive characterization and translational implications of the GalnsR384C mouse model of Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA.\nAbstract: Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS), leading to progressive accumulation of keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S) and resulting in systemic skeletal dysplasia. Severe, early-onset disease is frequently associated with destabilizing structural missense variants, including p.R386C. To model a loss-of-function missense variant associated with severe MPS IVA, we generated a GalnsR384C knock-in mouse, the murine ortholog of the most common human variant, p.R386C. Biochemical, histological, and skeletal phenotypes were evaluated across multiple tissues, and bone microarchitecture was assessed using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Genomic and biochemical assays were performed to assess allelic integrity, and principal component analysis (PCA) was used to integrate biochemical and structural parameters. GalnsR384C mice exhibited significantly reduced GALNS activity and elevated KS levels across various tissues. Histological examination revealed considerable vacuolization in cartilage and cardiac valves, while micro-CT illustrated altered bone microarchitecture consistent with disrupted endochondral ossification. During allele validation, a secondary missense variant (p.R384Y) was identified and characterized as a comparative model that led to defective GALNS activity, substrate accumulation, and analogous skeletal and cardiovascular pathology. PCA demonstrated clear differentiation between WT and mutant groups, with considerable multivariate overlap observed between GalnsR384C and GalnsR384Y mice. In conclusion, GalnsR384C and GalnsR384Y mice recapitulate key biochemical, skeletal, and histopathological features of MPS IVA and provide well-characterized murine models of severe GALNS loss-of-function resulting from clinically relevant missense variants. Rigorous genomic validation underscores the importance of careful allele-level characterization during genome-editing-based model generation.\n\nID: 42586969\nTitle: SNAI1 ablation alters integrin-mediated adhesion and endocytic fate.\nAbstract: Transcription factor SNAI1 guides plasticity and invasiveness in cancer. Using a complete SNAI1 knockout in mesenchymal, triple-negative breast cancer cells, unbiased genome-wide transcriptomic analysis revealed a marked under-expression of integrin-based adhesion and endocytic components. Utilizing this knockout cell model, complementary breast cancer cell models and functional screening of multiple differentially expressed genes, we found that the pioneering transcription factor FOXA1, whose expression is repressed by SNAI1, associates with several key mediators of the cellular phenotype. FOXA1 represses the small GTPase ARF6 and its exchange factor PSD4. In addition, some of the integrin and matrix metalloproteinase genes are regulated by the transcriptional FOXA1 signal. Accordingly, SNAI1 knockout cells presented poor adhesion to collagen type I or fibronectin, formed defective invadopodia and focal adhesions with weakened FAK/SRC signaling. SNAI1 knockout cells performed ineffective receptor-mediated internalization, including nanoparticle and extracellular vesicle (EV) uptake, exhibited reduced lysosomal content, lacked multivesicular bodies enriched in intraluminal vesicles and showed decreased EV secretion. Gain-of-function experiments demonstrated that SNAI1 has an impact on the PSD4/ARF6 signaling module, using FOXA1 as an intermediate factor to regulate EV release by tumor cells. We propose that the SNAI1-FOXA1 transcriptional mechanism operates at the level of membrane and vesicular trafficking control, which interlinks cell plasticity, adhesion and invasiveness through the extracellular environment, with the associated process of EV secretion.\n\nID: 42586968\nTitle: Youth-associated protein TIMP2 regulates microglial state and function in healthy and aged mice.\nAbstract: There is little understanding of how aging serves as the strongest risk factor for several neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia undergo age-related maladaptive changes, including increased inflammation, impaired debris clearance, and cellular senescence, yet specific mediators that regulate these processes remain unclear. The aged brain is rejuvenated by youth-associated plasma factors, including tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2), which we have shown acts on the extracellular matrix (ECM) to regulate synaptic plasticity. Given emerging roles for microglia in these processes, we examined the impact of TIMP2 on microglial function. We show that TIMP2 deletion in mice exacerbates microglial phenotypes associated with aging, including transcriptomic changes in cell activation, changes in lysosomal-associated markers and phagocytosis, and elevated levels of stress and inflammatory proteins in the brain extracellular space measured by in vivo microdialysis. Deleting specific cellular pools of TIMP2 in vivo increases microglial CD68 and alters myelin phagocytosis. Treating aged mice with TIMP2 reverses several phenotypes observed in our deletion models, resulting in decreased microglial activation, reduced proportions of proinflammatory microglia, and enhanced phagocytosis of physiological substrates. Our results identify TIMP2 as a modulator of age-associated microglia dysfunction. Harnessing its activity may mitigate detrimental effects of age-associated insults on microglia function.\n\nID: 42586632\nTitle: Engineering of pH/GSH-responsive nanoparticles based on a poly-\u03b3-glutamic acid/chitosan core-shell architecture for synergistic chemo/chemodynamic therapy of glioma.\nAbstract: In this study, we engineered pH/glutathione dual-responsive nanoparticles (LP/CC-Cu-Cur NPs) based on a poly-\u03b3-glutamic acid (\u03b3-PGA)/chitosan (CS) core-shell architecture for synergistic chemo/chemodynamic therapy of glioma. The nanoparticles feature a core of CC-Cu-Cur NPs, formed via Cu2+-coordinated self-assembly of caffeic acid-grafted CS and curcumin (Cur), encapsulated within a phenylboronic acid-conjugated \u03b3-PGA shell through pH-sensitive borate ester bonds. Surface modification with lactoferrin conferred brain-penetrating and glioma-targeting capabilities. The resulting spherical nanoparticles had a uniform size of 235.89\u00a0nm, a zeta potential of -22.66\u00a0mV, and high Cur loading (6.02%) and encapsulation efficiency (83.09%). Upon exposure to the acidic tumor microenvironment, the nanoparticle shell detaches, reversing surface charge from negative to positive, thereby enhancing cellular uptake and mitochondrial targeting. Intracellular glutathione then triggers core degradation, releasing Cur and Cu2+. Cur induces mitochondrial apoptosis, while Cu2+ catalyzes a Fenton-like reaction, converting endogenous hydrogen peroxide into highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species. In vitro, the nanoparticles showed enhanced blood-brain barrier penetration, efficient lysosomal escape, and potent cytotoxicity against GL-261 cells (IC50\u00a0=\u00a018.34\u00a0\u03bcg/mL) via a synergistic action of Cu2+ and Cur (CI\u00a0=\u00a00.28). In vivo, LP/CC-Cu-Cur NPs achieved superior brain accumulation and antitumor efficacy, highlighting their potential as a promising strategy for glioma therapy.\n\nID: 42586252\nTitle: ERLAD-hERG Axis and L-Type Calcium Channel Activation Mediate Cholesterol-Induced Acquired Long QT Syndrome-Related Cardiotoxicity.\nAbstract: High cholesterol is a key cardiovascular risk factor that can modulate cardiac electrophysiology and promote acquired long QT syndrome (acLQTS)-related cardiotoxicity, a potentially life-threatening condition associated with QT prolongation, torsade de pointes, and sudden cardiac death. This study investigated the effects of cholesterol overload on human Ether-\u00e0-go-go-Related Gene (hERG/Kv11.1; encoded by KCNH2) potassium channels and L-type calcium channels (LTCC; mainly Cav1.2/CACNA1C in cardiomyocytes), as well as the underlying mechanisms of acLQTS-related cardiotoxicity, using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), whole-cell patch clamp, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, fluorescence imaging, and a high-cholesterol diet guinea pig model with rosuvastatin intervention combined with optical mapping. The results showed that transient cholesterol exposure inhibited hERG tail current amplitude and accelerated channel inactivation, with the effect showing a Y652-dependent component, while also enhancing LTCC activity. Mechanistically, cholesterol overload triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, impaired hERG proteostasis, and promoted ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) of hERG. This process was associated with CANX-mediated recognition of abnormal hERG and FAM134B-LC3B-related autophagic-lysosomal processing, contributing to reduced total hERG expression and membrane-localized mature hERG. FAM134B overexpression partially preserved hERG expression and attenuated cholesterol-induced ER stress/autophagy-related abnormalities. In vivo, rosuvastatin improved lipid profiles and cardiac remodeling in high-cholesterol guinea pigs but was associated with more pronounced action potential duration (APD) and QT interval prolongation under high-cholesterol conditions. These findings suggest that cholesterol overload may increase susceptibility to hERG-related repolarization abnormalities during rosuvastatin exposure and highlight the importance of cholesterol management and electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring in hypercholesterolemic settings.\n\nID: 42586046\nTitle: Wiring autophagy: Neural circuits regulate lysosomal homeostasis in muscle.\nAbstract: Autophagy is commonly viewed as a cell-autonomous degradative process governed by intracellular metabolic and stress signals,1 but how autophagy is coordinated across tissues in multicellular organisms remains unclear. Zheng et al. 2 identify two parallel neuronal circuits that non-cell-autonomously regulate muscle autophagy in C. elegans, revealing an unexpected role for the nervous system in orchestrating peripheral autophagy.\n\nID: 42599573\nTitle: Nose-to-Brain Nanocarriers for Migraine Management: A Comprehensive Review of Drug Delivery Strategies\u00a0and Translational Challenges.\nAbstract: Migraine is among the most prevalent neurological disorders and can affect people's daily activities because of high- and long-lasting pain intensity attacks. The available dosage forms, such as oral and parenteral formulations, can enhance patients' symptoms but still have poor side effects, bioavailability, or dosing difficulty. As a result, there is an urgent need to find other novel drug delivery systems (DDSs) to treat migraine. The intranasal (IN) route was investigated as an alternative pathway to deliver therapeutic molecules directly to the brain, bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and hepatic first-pass metabolism. Nanocarriers facilitate drug transportation regardless of their lipophilicity, resulting in more efficient drug absorption and bioavailability. They also effectively contribute to brain targeting, which maximizes the therapeutic effect of drugs. This review discusses the efficacy of nanocarriers loaded with antimigraine agents and delivered by the IN route in the management of migraine. In preclinical studies, nanocarriers such as liposomes, ethosomes, nanostructured lipid carriers, and many others have been used to enhance brain targeting. Studies have focused on obtaining high results for brain pharmacokinetics, such as drug targeting efficiency (DTE) and direct transport percentage (DTP). This leads to better drug accumulation and a rapid onset of action. Despite the proven success of preclinical studies on the delivery of migraine drugs loaded with nanocarriers through the IN route, there is still a shortage in translating this success into the clinical stage.\n\nID: 42580438\nTitle: Current Clinical Evidence on Nose-to-Brain Drug Delivery.\nAbstract: Intranasal delivery is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for direct drug transport to the brain via the nose-to-brain pathway, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and improving therapeutic efficacy. This approach has shown potential in the treatment of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and acute psychiatric conditions, as well as in emergencies such as anxiety attacks and migraine episodes. Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine, among other drugs, have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy. In addition, FDA-approved intranasal products indicated for central nervous system disorders, including diazepam and midazolam for seizure management, and triptans for migraine, demonstrate the growing clinical relevance of intranasal drug delivery. Both preclinical and clinical studies have reported encouraging outcomes, particularly when intranasal delivery is combined with nanoformulations and specialised delivery devices designed to enhance olfactory deposition. Intranasal administration is non-invasive, painless, and may improve patient adherence while enhancing brain bioavailability. Nevertheless, further well-designed clinical studies are required to establish the long-term safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of this delivery strategy.\n\nID: 42578428\nTitle: LPR-1-Mediated targeted intranasal delivery of lentinan-loaded polymeric nanocarriers for GBM therapy via modulation of apoptotic signalling.\nAbstract: To develop and evaluate a lactoferrin (Lf)-functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG)-grafted chitosan (CS) nanocarriers (NCs) for low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1)-mediated intranasal delivery of lentinan (LNT) to enhance brain targeting and anti-glioblastoma (GBM) efficacy. Lf-LNT-PEG-CS-NCs were prepared, optimized, and characterized for particle size, entrapment efficiency, coating efficiency, and release behavior. Ex vivo permeation, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, pharmacokinetic, and biodistribution studies were performed using U87 MG cells and Wistar rats. The optimized NCs exhibited a particle size of 205.3\u2009\u00b1\u200911\u2009nm, entrapment efficiency of 71.52\u2009\u00b1\u20090.98%, and coating efficiency of 92.42\u2009\u00b1\u20090.94%, with sustained drug release for 36\u2009h. The permeation increased by 2.86-fold, while cellular uptake reached 78.38\u2009\u00b1\u20093.76%. Treatment significantly reduced U87 MG cell viability (84.21\u2009\u00b1\u20092.75% inhibition) and induced apoptosis with 64.55\u2009\u00b1\u20092.28% G0/G1 arrest, accompanied by reduced COX-2 (55.81\u2009\u00b1\u20092.91%) and Bcl-2 (59.65\u2009\u00b1\u20091.95%) expression and increased caspase-3 (73.10\u2009\u00b1\u20092.91%). Intranasal administration achieved a CSF Cmax of 46.72\u2009\u00b1\u20093.78\u2009\u03bcg/mL and brain accumulation of 42.83\u2009\u00b1\u20092.59\u2009\u03bcg/mL. LRP-1-targeted Lf-LNT-PEG-CS-NCs significantly enhanced intranasal brain delivery, cellular uptake, and apoptotic activity of LNT, demonstrating a promising noninvasive platform for targeted GBM therapy.\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: 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: 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: 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\nID: 42561450\nTitle: Advances in the development and application of nanofibrous systems for intranasal drug delivery.\nAbstract: Intranasal drug delivery has emerged as an attractive noninvasive route for local, systemic, and central nervous system (CNS) therapy due to its rapid absorption, avoidance of first-pass metabolism, and potential for nose-to-brain transport. However, the effectiveness of this route is limited by mucociliary clearance, mucus, enzymatic degradation, and poor epithelial permeability. Electrospun fibrous systems have gained increasing attention as intranasal platforms capable of simultaneously addressing these challenges through tailored polymer/excipient selection and formulation design. This review summarizes advances in electrospun intranasal systems and the influence of formulation characteristics on drug-mucosa interactions based on English-language articles identified through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar from January 2010 to May 2026, supplemented by manual reference screening. Mucoadhesive polymers improve drug retention, fast-dissolving polymers promote rapid release and sustained-release polymers prolong drug availability. Particular focus is placed on three complementary mechanisms employed to overcome nasal barriers: mucoadhesion, mucopenetration, and permeation enhancement, which improve nasal retention, mucus transport, epithelial permeation, and biomolecule stability. Recent studies support the potential of electrospun systems for local, systemic, and experimental nose-to-brain delivery, highlighting multifunctional nanofibrous platforms as promising candidates for future intranasal therapies.\n\nID: 42556751\nTitle: Intranasal Pacritinib-loaded nanoemulsion for Glioblastoma management: In Vitro, ex Vivo, 3D spheroid and In vivo brain biodistribution studies.\nAbstract: Pacritinib (PAC), a potent inhibitor of JAK2, is currently being explored as a potential therapeutic agent against GBM, which is an aggressive and vascularized brain tumor, resistant to many therapies. The therapeutic potential of PAC is hindered due to its poor water solubility and low brain bioavailability. In the current study, a PAC-loaded nanoemulsion (PAC-NE) was formulated to deliver the drug through the intranasal (IN) route for better solubilization, nasal absorption, and brain targeting. The optimized formulation of PAC-NE exhibited a mean droplet size of 18.78\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.4\u202fnm and a polydispersity index (PDI) value of 0.183\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.007, representing a highly homogenous and uniform NE, which is appropriate for nasal administration. In vitro evaluation of the anticancer efficacy in 2D cell culture and 3D tumor spheroid model (3DS) proved that PAC-NE greatly improved the cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and tumor spheroid inhibition activity compared with free PAC. In addition, ex vivo nasal permeation was greatly improved by the optimized formulation, showing a flux value of 1.27\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.06\u202f\u00b5g/cm2/h and a permeability coefficient value of 2.4\u202f\u00d7\u202f10\u207b7\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.19\u202fcm/s, which were significantly higher than that of the plain drug. Moreover, the histopathological examination demonstrated no sign of damage to the nasal mucosa. Pharmacokinetics analysis following IN application revealed that the optimized NE depicted greater brain-targeting ability, where there was an improvement in %DTE by 1.99-fold and in %DTP by 2.75-fold in comparison to free PAC. Overall, from the above observations, it can be concluded that PAC-NE is a non-invasive delivery system which shows promising results for better brain delivery thereby supporting the clinical translation of PAC for GBM therapy.\n\nID: 42552550\nTitle: Cholesterol nose-to-brain delivery as a possible therapeutic strategy in Huntington's disease.\nAbstract: Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetically dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by several pathological mechanisms, including the disruption of brain cholesterol homeostasis. In several HD animal models, brain cholesterol biosynthesis and levels are reduced. Since circulating cholesterol cannot reach the brain, providing exogenous cholesterol has been shown to improve HD phenotypes. However, the methods used for cholesterol delivery were invasive and not easily transferable to clinical practice. Cholesterol-enriched liposomes were developed by using freeze-and-thaw methods and were administered to R6/2 mice through a single or repeated intranasal administrations. Deuterated-cholesterol was used to discriminate exogenous from endogenous cholesterol. Exogenous cholesterol accumulation and distribution, as well as the levels of cholesterol precursors and metabolites, were measured using mass spectrometry. Behavioral tests, real-time PCR analysis, and immunostaining of mutant HTT (muHTT) aggregates were performed to verify the therapeutic effects of liposomes. Plasma neurofilament levels were measured by Simoa-Quanterix assay. We developed and characterized freeze-and-thaw liposomes. Then, we demonstrate that the exogenous cholesterol can spread throughout the entire brain following intranasal administration of cholesterol-enriched liposomes. Furthermore, repeated intranasal treatments with liposomes result in a full restoration of cognitive decline, and delayed the onset of coordination and motor impairment as well as the loss of muscular strength in the early stages of the disease. Cholesterol supplementation also reduced the plasma level of neurofilament light chain and promoted the clearance of muHTT aggregates. The findings support the effectiveness of cholesterol supplementation as a therapeutic strategy for HD and indicate the translational potential of nose-to-brain cholesterol delivery.\n\nID: 42547496\nTitle: Peptide-targeted cubosome and hexosome nanoassemblies mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction in a MitoPark model.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a primary pathogenic mechanism underlying dopaminergic neuron loss in the nigrostriatal pathway in Parkinson's disease (PD). To investigate mitochondrion-targeted therapeutic strategies, we utilized the MitoPark mouse model, in which mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) is selectively ablated in midbrain dopamine neurons, resulting in progressive neurodegeneration. We designed multifunctional lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs) of the cubosome and hexosome types for noninvasive nose-to-brain delivery. These nanocarriers were engineered with lipids essential for membrane integrity (plasmalogens and \u03c9-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)) and a nonlamellar structural lipid (monoolein). They coencapsulated the neuroprotective antioxidants ginkgolide B and quercetin. To facilitate neuronal targeting and uptake, the surface of the LCNP was modified by conjugation with pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and a rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG)-derived peptide-oleic acid (RVG-OL) conjugate. In vitro studies using differentiated SH-SY5Y cells subjected to oxidative stress demonstrated that the targeted LNPs enhanced cellular uptake and activated key neuroprotective signaling cascades, including AKT, ERK, and STAT3 phosphorylation. In vivo, intranasal administration of the optimized LNPs in MitoPark mice was associated with a trend toward the preservation of dopaminergic neuronal markers (such as tyrosine hydroxylase) and the regulation of mitochondrial-related proteins such as ATP5A1. Transcriptomic profiling revealed extensive molecular reprogramming. The peptide-functionalized LNPs upregulated genes enriched in mitochondrial biogenesis (Ppargc1a and Pink1) and survival (Bcl2) but downregulated the expression of neuroinflammatory mediators (Il6, Nos2, Myd88, and Trem2) and apoptotic effectors. These findings establish peptide-targeted, therapeutic lipid (plasmalogen/PUFA)-based nanoassemblies as a potent nonviral platform for noninvasive nose-to-brain delivery that may modulate mitochondrial- and neurodegeneration-related signaling pathways in a genetic model of PD.\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: 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: 42530052\nTitle: Neurotrophic Factors in Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Neurodegeneration: A Convergent Pathophysiological and Translational Perspective.\nAbstract: Neurotrophic factors (NTFs), including nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), play a central role in neuronal survival, plasticity, and regeneration. Despite their distinct etiologies and temporal profiles, stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), converge on a common pathophysiological phenotype characterized by excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and neuronal apoptosis. Neurotrophic factors modulate these pathological cascades through tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) receptors, p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), and related signaling pathways, thereby supporting neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and synaptogenesis. Experimental evidence from preclinical models demonstrates robust beneficial effects of neurotrophin-based interventions in stroke, TBI, AD, and PD across protein, gene, and cell-based strategies. However, clinical translation remains severely limited. Early-phase clinical trials of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated GDNF and neurturin gene therapy for PD, ex vivo NGF gene therapy for AD, and BDNF gene therapy for AD have confirmed acceptable safety profiles but yielded modest or inconsistent efficacy, largely due to constraints in brain delivery, the need for invasive neurosurgical procedures, restricted target coverage, suboptimal control of expression, and marked patient heterogeneity. Consequently, the principal barrier to clinical success is not biological validity, but the lack of safe, effective and scalable delivery platforms capable of bypassing or functionally modulating the BBB. In this review we synthesize shared pathophysiological mechanisms linking stroke, TBI and NDDs; examine the biology, receptor systems, and signaling pathways of key neurotrophic factors; summarize preclinical evidence for their therapeutic potential; and critically evaluate current delivery strategies, including viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles, exosomes, cell-based therapies, small-molecule mimetics, and intranasal administration. We conclude that overcoming delivery barriers through development of improved viral and non-viral platforms, minimally invasive administration routes, controllable expression systems, and rational patient stratification based on disease stage and biomarkers will be essential to fully realize the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative potential of neurotrophin-based therapies for acute and chronic brain disorders.\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: 42526715\nTitle: Intranasal drug delivery to the brain for neurodegenerative diseases: Current efforts and challenges in delivery platforms and modeling.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), globally pose a significant challenge with an aging population. Despite the presence of various therapeutic agents, AD and PD treatments with small molecules currently only address the symptoms; certain biologic agents for AD have been approved for their disease-modifying effects, but the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage severely limits their use. Moreover, the bioavailability of orally administered agents in the brain is challenged by the blood-brain barrier, complicating brain-targeted drug development. Extensive efforts are currently underway to develop intranasal platforms with nanoparticles for direct nose-to-brain drug delivery. Additionally, various in vitro designs involving brain organoids, and in vivo models, such as rodents and zebrafish, have been explored to improve the efficiency and accuracy of preclinical models. Efforts to develop sophisticated computational modeling of intranasal drug delivery, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) deposition and physiologically based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) modeling, also continue to advance the intranasal drug delivery research and potentially improve the feasibility of developing clinically relevant intranasal platforms for neurodegenerative disease.\n\nID: 42524508\nTitle: Intranasal Biodegradable Nanomedicine for Epilepsy Management: Targeting the Brain Beyond the Blood-Brain Barrier.\nAbstract: Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures arising from abnormal neuronal hyperexcitability and hypersynchronous electrical activity within the brain. Despite advances in antiseizure medications, effective epilepsy management remains challenging because of pharmacoresistance, limited blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, inadequate intracerebral drug accumulation, and systemic toxicity. Moreover, currently available therapies primarily provide symptomatic seizure control without addressing the fundamental pathological processes involved in epileptogenesis, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal degeneration. Intranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways. In this context, biodegradable nanomedicine platforms have gained considerable attention due to their favorable biocompatibility, controlled drug release, enhanced mucosal permeation, and potential for targeted intracerebral delivery. This review provides a comprehensive and critical overview of recent advances in intranasal biodegradable nanomedicine for epilepsy, integrating current knowledge on disease pathophysiology, biological and pharmaceutical barriers, nose-to-brain transport mechanisms, biodegradable nanoparticle platforms, and emerging functionalization strategies. Importantly, the review critically evaluates the current evidence, distinguishing encouraging preclinical findings and discusses the major translational challenges that continue to hinder clinical implementation. Finally, future perspectives are highlighted to identify opportunities for developing safer, more effective, and clinically translatable therapies for epilepsy management.\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: 42518694\nTitle: ROS-responsive nanoplatform-mediated targeted intranasal delivery of Piezo2 siRNA for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia.\nAbstract: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is one of the most severe neuropathic pain conditions, yet current pharmacological treatments are hindered by low bioavailability, systemic toxicity, and drug resistance. The mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo2 has been identified as a key mediator of orofacial mechanical allodynia in TN, making it a highly attractive but as yet clinically untargeted therapeutic target. To address this critical gap, we developed RLPSe nanoparticles, a microenvironment-adaptive nanoplatform composed of a polyvinylamine (PVAm)-L44 copolymer crosslinked via diselenide bonds and conjugated with rabies virus glycoprotein 29 (RVG29). The diselenide bond confers oxidative stress responsiveness, while RVG29 enables specific neuronal targeting. In vitro studies demonstrated that RLPSe nanoparticles exhibited good biocompatibility, oxidative stress responsiveness, and neuronal targeting efficiency; they effectively scavenged intracellular reactive oxygen species and delivered siRNA to knock down Piezo2 expression in neurons. Following intranasal administration in vivo, RLPSe nanoparticles were successfully internalized by trigeminal ganglion cells. Notably, this was associated with reduced neuronal activation in central pain-related regions, including the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis and primary somatosensory cortex. Collectively, this study presents a non-invasive, microenvironment-adaptive gene silencing strategy that combines intranasal delivery, oxidative stress responsiveness, and Piezo2 knockdown, representing a promising approach for further investigation in the context of trigeminal neuralgia.\n\nID: 42518684\nTitle: Nanoparticles Navigating the Blood-Brain Barrier for Neurodegenerative Therapy.\nAbstract: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks most drugs from entering the brain. Over 98% of small-molecule drugs and nearly all biologics fail to cross this barrier. Nanoparticles (NPs) provide multiple ways to bypass the BBB. These include receptor-mediated transcytosis, adsorptive-mediated transport, and intranasal delivery. NPs can also modify disease-related pathways. For example, they promote amyloid-\u03b2 clearance, reduce tau phosphorylation, and reprogram neuroimmune responses. Many preclinical studies have shown promising results in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases. However, no NP-based therapy has moved beyond early-stage clinical trials. Several issues remain unresolved. Direct comparisons between different NP platforms are lacking. The long-term toxicity of NPs in the brain is not well understood. Animal models also do not accurately reflect human disease. We suggest that future work should focus on standardized characterization, better predictive models, and clinical trial designs that address NP diversity. Researchers should also compare NP therapies with existing treatments in a rigorous manner.\n\nID: 42516551\nTitle: Gerstmann-Str\u00e4ussler-Scheinker syndrome with unexpected concomitant GRN variant: case report.\nAbstract: The objective is to report a patient with Gerstmann-Str\u00e4ussler-Scheinker syndrome caused by a pathogenic PRNP P102L variant harboring an unexpected concomitant pathogenic GRN variant p.R110X and to discuss the potential contribution of combined genetic pathology to the clinical and neuroimaging phenotype confirmed by autopsy. Moreover, we discuss the potential role of TMEM106B as an important modifier of the protein TDP-43 neuropathology associated with the GRN mutation in this case. The patient underwent detailed clinical assessment, serial neuropsychological evaluation, brain MRI, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, whole-exome sequencing, and next generation sequencing. A postmortem neuropathologic examination was performed to confirm the diagnosis. The patient presented slowly progressive paresthesia, cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, and later cognitive and behavioral changes. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous PRNP P102L variant and an unpenetrated GRN p.R110X variant; a protective TMEM106B polymorphism associated with TDP-43 pathology was also identified. Neuroimaging demonstrated progressive cerebellar and parietal atrophy with asymmetric left frontal opercular and insular involvement. The clinical course was dominated by a cerebellar GSS phenotype. The patient died 4 years after symptom onset. Neuropathology confirmed GSS, nevertheless without detectable TDP-43-associated neuropathology. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of rare neurodegenerative disorders and illustrates that pathogenic variants may not influence phenotypic expression. Comprehensive genetic testing should be considered in atypical cases, as certain genetic variants may contribute to phenotypic variability and represent potential modifiers of phenotypic expression.\n\nID: 42515879\nTitle: Rutin and Scopoletin Co-Loaded Niosomes for Intranasal Brain Delivery: Formulation Optimization and Ex Vivo Evaluation.\nAbstract: Rutin (R) and scopoletin (S) are natural flavonols, which have been shown to reduce heart disease, improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and even prevent diabetes. Certain physicochemical properties, such as poor solubility and poor oral bioavailability of RS, diminish their therapeutic effectiveness. This study aims to develop the RS niosomes formulation (RS-Ns-Opt) to improve the bioavailability and solubility of RS. Lipid-derived vesicles enclosing RS were developed by the thin-film hydration method, whereas surfactants and cholesterol formed the RS niosome. RS-Ns-Opt were developed and evaluated using the thin-film hydration method, drug release, DPPH assay, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), ex vivo nasal mucosa permeation, UV analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Nanosize vesicles (55.22 nm) of RS-Ns-Opt were formed within an acceptable polydispersity index (PDI) (0.234). In contrast, the entrapment efficiency of R (72.64%) and S (72.44%) indicates efficient uniformity and automatic surface interaction. Moreover, RS-Ns-Opt exhibited notable drug release (79.96 \u00b1 0.68%) and effective antioxidant activity (70.11 \u00b1 3.07%) compared with RS suspension drug release (23.49 \u00b1 2.11%) and antioxidant potential (75.59 \u00b1 0.75%). The CLSM study found that RS-Ns-Opt loaded with rhodamine B showed superior penetration compared to the control. The planned RS-Ns-Opt niosomes can improve the bioavailability of RS and are expected to gain wide consideration in the near future for healthcare applications.\n\nID: 42514979\nTitle: Advances in Intranasal CNS Targeting: Integrating Formulations, Devices, Computational Fluid Dynamics, and 3D Printing.\nAbstract: Nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery is a practical, non-invasive strategy for CNS targeting that can increase brain exposure while limiting systemic exposure. This review integrates three milestones in N2B delivery, formulations, devices, and quantitative evaluation strategies, to define design rules for effective olfactory/trigeminal deposition and enhance translational relevance. Formulations emphasize mucoadhesive systems, nanoparticle carriers (polymeric, lipid-based, and hybrid), nano-emulsions, and stimuli-responsive \"smart\" gels that prolong nasal residence. Regarding device advancements, the review covers conventional nasal sprays optimized for plume geometry and droplet size. Furthermore, it examines breath-actuated metered sprays, which promote soft palate closure to route aerosols to superior regions, and vibrating mesh nebulizers capable of low-velocity mists for improved upper cavity deposition. Quantitative evaluation is discussed, including 3D-printed, anatomy-accurate nasal casts, high-speed spray diagnostics, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This review further links formulation and device parameters to regional deposition. Available clinical and animal data illustrate the feasibility of these approaches, safety considerations, and user-technique dependencies, while highlighting the need for standardized, anatomy-aware testing protocols. Together, these developments suggest that co-designed formulation device platforms, validated by cast/CFD metrics and supported by clinical imaging or pharmacokinetic data, can support N2B product development toward consistent, patient-relevant outcomes.\n\nID: 42514848\nTitle: Development and Optimization of 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone-Loaded Polylysine/Lecithin Nanoparticles for Potential Intranasal Delivery.\nAbstract: Background: Effective strategies for delivering neuroprotective agents to the brain remain a major challenge due to the poor solubility, rapid metabolism, and low bioavailability of promising molecules, such as 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF). This small-molecule TrkB receptor agonist exhibits significant antioxidant, neuroprotective properties, and additional effects on metabolic regulation, but its therapeutic potential is limited by unfavorable pharmacokinetic characteristics. Nanotechnology-based delivery systems are increasingly explored to improve drug stability, enhance bioavailability, and facilitate direct nose-to-brain transport following intranasal administration. In this study, lipid nanoparticles encapsulating 7,8-DHF were developed using a fish-oil-based lipid core enriched with \u03c9-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA and EPA) and naturally derived excipients, including soybean lecithin and \u03b5-polylysine. Methods: The formulation was optimized using a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach based on a 23 full factorial design, evaluating drug concentration, lecithin concentration, and surfactant type (Pluronic\u00ae F127 or Tween\u00ae 80). The main formulation responses considered were particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency. Results: The optimized nanoparticles exhibited nanometric dimensions (<250 nm); spherical morphology, confirmed by TEM; low polydispersity (PDI < 0.3); and adequate encapsulation efficiency. Stability studies in simulated biological fluids indicated good physicochemical stability for up to 48 h, while interaction studies with mucin suggested a good interaction within the mucus environment. ROS scavenging capacity was confirmed through the DPPH chemical assay, and in vitro experiments on olfactory ensheathing cells, selected as a biologically relevant model for their anatomical localization along the olfactory pathway, showed reduced cytotoxicity of the encapsulated drug compared with the free form. Conclusions: Collectively, these results support the potential application of the developed nanoformulation in the intranasal delivery of 7,8-DHF.\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: 42495417\nTitle: Nasal-to-Brain ROS-Responsive Diselenide-Bridged Graphene Nanogel for Targeted Ischemic Stroke Therapy via Microglial Modulation.\nAbstract: Secondary oxidative stress and neuroinflammation following ischemic stroke exacerbate neuronal death, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and neurological deficits. To address these intertwined injury cascades, we developed a diselenide-bridged hyaluronic acid/graphene oxide quantum dot nanogel (DRC@GOQD-HA-Se) for intranasal delivery of Dauricine\ue5f8a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid with antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. The diselenide (Se-Se) cross-links confer reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered degradation and on-demand drug release, while the HA shell enhances microglial targeting via CD44 receptors and facilitates BBB bypass via nose-to-brain transport.DRC@GOQD-HA-Se directly scavenged multiple ROS, eliminating \u223c136 \u00b1 10 U/mL of \u2022OH and \u223c80 \u00b1 7 U/mL of O2\u2022-, and degrading H2O2 such that only \u223c9% remained (p < 0.001, vs untreated). In a photothrombotic ischemia (PTI) mouse model, intranasal administration reduced infarct size, improved neurological deficit scores by \u223c40%, halved the Morris water maze escape latency (\u224850% faster learning), and increased locomotor activity by \u223c61%. In vitro, the nanogel inhibited M1 microglial polarization, reducing neuronal apoptosis and preserving mitochondrial membrane potential under OGD/R insult. Mechanistically, DRC@GOQD-HA-Se activated the STAT3/iNOS axis, suppressed TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB signaling, and downregulated Bax and cleaved caspase-3. Biodistribution analysis confirmed >5-fold brain accumulation vs free drug, with no systemic toxicity or hemolysis. This multifunctional nanoplatform integrates ROS scavenging, immune modulation, and targeted delivery into a single system, offering a clinically translatable strategy for neuroprotection after ischemic stroke.\n\nID: 42481908\nTitle: A Study on the Effects of Intranasally Administered Liquid Crystalline Nanoparticles Loaded with Salvianolic Acid B in Vascular Dementia.\nAbstract: Salvianolic acid B (SalB) is a bioactive polyphenol with therapeutic potential for vascular dementia (VD), but poor penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and low bioavailability restrict its clinical translation. To address these problems, a SalB-loaded liquid crystalline nanoparticle delivery system (SalB-LCN) was constructed and systematically characterized in terms of its physicochemical properties. Meanwhile, an intranasal administration strategy was employed to bypass the BBB, and the therapeutic effects of SalB-LCN on VD were systematically evaluated. The results showed that SalB-LCN possessed favorable morphology and sustained-release properties, enabling stable encapsulation and continuous release of SalB. In vitro experiments demonstrated that SalB-LCN exhibited good biocompatibility and could alleviate oxidative damage in neuronal cells. In a bilateral common carotid artery occlusion-induced rat model of VD, SalB-LCN significantly improved learning and memory abilities, alleviated hippocampal neuronal morphological damage, and exhibited good in vivo biosafety. Further studies showed that SalB-LCN markedly lowered reactive oxygen species levels, suppressed IL-1\u03b2 and IL-18 production in hippocampal tissues, and reduced cell death as well as lactate dehydrogenase activity. In addition, SalB-LCN also suppressed NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling. In conclusion, intranasal delivery of SalB-LCN improved brain delivery by facilitating transport across the BBB and conferred neuroprotection against VD through modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling, highlighting its translational potential as a nanomedicine-based therapeutic strategy.\n\nID: 42480533\nTitle: Dual-function PROTAC suppresses ferroptosis and restores neuronal function via brain-targeted delivery.\nAbstract: Targeted protein degradation (TPD) via proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) offers a promising strategy for modulating disease-associated proteins, yet effective brain-preferred protein degradation remains challenging. Herein, we report a dual-function PROTAC, dACSL4, and its nose-to-brain delivery for brain-preferred protein degradation and therapeutic suppression of ferroptosis in neurodegeneration. dACSL4 selectively degrades acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) while concurrently activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor \u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), thereby coordinating lipid metabolism and oxidative stress to suppress neuronal ferroptosis. dACSL4 achieved up to 30-fold greater protection against neuronal ferroptosis compared to conventional ferroptosis inhibitors. Intranasal delivery of dACSL4 using biodegradable lipid nanoparticles (BAmP-TK12) enabled brain-preferred ACSL4 degradation and PPAR\u03b3 activation, reducing lipid peroxidation and preserving dopaminergic neurons in a Parkinson's disease model, ultimately improving motor function. Our findings establish a modular strategy for brain-preferred protein degradation and highlight the therapeutic potential of dual-function degraders for ferroptosis suppression in neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 42469846\nTitle: Metabolic reprogramming via SIRT2-deficient microglial large extracellular vesicles ameliorates alzheimer's pathology.\nAbstract: Current therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) offer only symptomatic relief, highlighting the urgent need for disease-modifying approaches capable of halting or reversing neurodegeneration. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted growing interest as therapeutic vehicles owing to their inherent capacity to bypass the blood-brain barrier and deliver complex biological cargo to the central nervous system. Here, we examined whether large EVs (LEVs) derived from microglia with stable Sirtuin-2 knockdown (SIRT2-KD) confer the neuroprotective effects associated with SIRT2 inhibition. LEVs harvested from SIRT2-KD microglia were administered intranasally to APP/PS1 mice. We assessed microglial uptake of LEVs, along with subsequent changes in cellular metabolism, migration toward amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) plaques, phagocytic activity, and downstream pathological and behavioral outcomes. Proteomic and acetylomic profiling were employed to characterize the molecular cargo of LEVs-SIRT2-KD. LEVs-SIRT2-KD were readily internalized by microglia in vivo following intranasal delivery. Uptake of these vesicles markedly enhanced microglial bioenergetics, driving coordinated upregulation of both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. This metabolic shift was accompanied by improved microglial recruitment to A\u03b2 plaques and increased phagocytic clearance. Consequently, treated mice showed reduced A\u03b2 plaque deposition, restored synaptic integrity, and reversal of cognitive deficits. Proteomic and acetylomic analyses revealed that LEVs-SIRT2-KD are selectively enriched in proteins and acetylation modifications linked to energy metabolism and phagocytic function, offering a mechanistic basis for the observed metabolic reprogramming. Together, these results identify LEVs as a critical vesicle subtype mediating the effects of SIRT2 knockdown and support a cell-free therapeutic strategy for AD centered on EVs-driven metabolic reprogramming of microglia.\n\nID: 42464757\nTitle: In vitro and in vivo investigation for nose to brain delivery of surface modified PLGA nanoparticles of baclofen.\nAbstract: Baclofen is widely used for neuropathic pain but has limited therapeutic efficacy due to poor brain bioavailability and restricted penetration across the blood-brain barrier. To develop and evaluate polysorbate 80-coated PLGA nanoparticles for enhanced brain delivery of baclofen. Baclofen-loaded PLGA nanoparticles were prepared using the double emulsification solvent evaporation method and characterized for particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and drug loading. In vitro drug release, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and in vivo biodistribution studies were performed. The optimized nanoparticles showed a mean particle size of 141.2 nm, entrapment efficiency of 90.2%, and drug loading of 10.4%. Sustained drug release (79.42% over 48 h), minimal neuronal cytotoxicity, and enhanced cellular uptake were observed. In vivo biodistribution studies demonstrated significantly higher brain accumulation of baclofen compared with conventional delivery. Polysorbate 80-coated PLGA nanoparticles effectively enhanced baclofen brain delivery, providing sustained release, good biocompatibility, and improved brain targeting, indicating their potential for more effective neuropathic pain management.\n\nID: 42458150\nTitle: Nose-to-brain delivery of candesartan-loaded nanoemulsion: brain biodistribution and neurobehavioral outcomes in controlled cortical impact-induced traumatic brain injury.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI), defined as a disruption in normal brain function caused by external mechanical force, affects \u205327-69\u00a0million individuals annually worldwide. Despite its high prevalence and association with oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neurological deficits, no effective brain-targeted pharmacotherapy has yet been approved for TBI management. Herein, we report an intranasal (IN) candesartan-loaded mucoadhesive nanoemulsion (CND-MNE) designed to enhance nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery and therapeutic efficacy in TBI. The optimized CND-MNE exhibited a mean globule size of 20.98\u2009\u00b1\u20090.60\u00a0nm, spherical morphology, nasal-compatible pH, favourable spreading behaviour, enhanced flux and preserved mucosal integrity. CND-MNE revealed a 2.16- and 3.09-fold enhancement in brain Cmax compared with IN and intravenous suspensions (CND-SUS IN and CND-SUS IV), respectively. Additionally, enhanced N2B transport was confirmed by increased drug targeting efficiency (%DTE, 1.57-fold) and direct transport percentage (1.07-fold) compared to CND-SUS IN. In vivo, CND-MNE at high and low doses (HD, LD) reduced neurological severity scores (\u20534.8-fold and 4.0-fold), improved motor coordination [*P\u2009<\u20090.05 (HD)], spatial memory (****P\u2009<\u20090.0001, HD and LD), and recognition memory [*P\u2009<\u20090.05 (HD)] in the C57BL/6 controlled cortical impact model. Additionally, CND-MNE (HD and LD) markedly decreased brain water content (*P\u2009<\u20090.05) and preserved neuronal architecture. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were lower in the CND-MNE-treated group than in the group treated with IN CND-SUS, indicating reduced neuroinflammation. Collectively, these findings highlight the potential of CND-MNE as an effective non-invasive strategy for targeted brain delivery and neuroprotection in TBI.\n\nID: 42456864\nTitle: Enhancing brain delivery of tegaserod for Alzheimer's disease: a pharmaceutical comparison of two nanocarrier-based strategies.\nAbstract: Tegaserod is a serotonin receptor agonist with potential neuroprotective properties for Alzheimer's disease. Due to its low druggability profile and to avoid detrimental side effects, a brain-targeted formulation is required. Nanocarriers targeting the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with a shuttle peptide, such as peptide-22, or enabling direct nose-to-brain delivery were considered as valuable approaches. This study aimed to compare two types of lipid-based nanocarriers and determine the best formulation for intravenous (IV) or intranasal (IN) administration. Tegaserod-loaded nanoemulsions and liposomes were successfully developed, improving the solubilization of tegaserod in injectable formulations. Their properties were optimized for the IV route, and the two formulations were compared in terms of granulometric properties, stability, stealth properties, and transport across a human model of the human BBB. Based on these evaluations, peptide-22-decorated tegaserod-loaded nanoemulsions were the most promising for IV administration. In addition, tegaserod-loaded nanoemulsions or liposomes were incorporated in a gelling formulation with properties optimized for the IN route, focusing on gelation temperature, osmolarity, and pH. Due to its rheological profile and behavior at room temperature, gel-embedded liposomes emerged as the most suitable formulation for the IN route. The successful development of these nanocarriers will facilitate further preclinical evaluation of tegaserod in Alzheimer's disease.\n\nID: 42442585\nTitle: Intranasal delivery of glioblastoma exosomes-loaded injectable chitosan hydrogel promotes neurovascular unit restoration in ischemic stroke.\nAbstract: The homeostasis of the Neurovascular Unit (NVU), a basic functional unit of the brain, is essential for neurological recovery. Glioblastoma-derived exosomes (Exos) have been demonstrated to enhance angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions, but their reparative potential in non-tumor ischemic microenvironments remain unclear. Moreover, free Exos are limited by rapid clearance, poor lesion retention, and uncontrolled release. Herein, we prepared an injectable chitosan hydrogel loaded with A172 cell-derived Exos (H-A-Exos) for intranasal delivery and evaluated its therapeutic effects in a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. In vitro, A-Exos facilitated endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, while inhibiting NVU cell apoptosis and reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. When loaded within an injectable chitosan hydrogel, A-Exos exhibited enhanced retention and sustained release, resulting in improved accumulation in the ischemic infarct area following intranasal administration. Compared to the model group, H-A-Exos significantly improved behavioral recovery, as evidenced by a reduced modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS), and decreased cerebral infarct volume (13.02\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.01%), showing superior efficacy to free A-Exos and Nimodipine (NMDP). Mechanistically, H-A-Exos upregulated eNOS, Bcl-2, VEGF and CD31 expression, thereby promoting vascular regeneration and NVU remodeling. Thus, these findings confirm the effective pro-angiogenic and reparative roles of A-Exos in a non-tumor ischemic microenvironment and demonstrate that intranasal H-A-Exos represents a promising therapeutic strategy for restoring NVU homeostasis and enhancing revascularization following ischemic stroke, underscoring their innovative therapeutic potential.\n\nID: 42435826\nTitle: Intranasal dopamine: Anatomical pathways, biological mechanisms and neuromodulatory potential.\nAbstract: Dopamine (DA) regulates motor control, motivation, learning and memory, cognition, and social behavior, and its dysregulation underlies a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders. In Parkinson's disease (PD), degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra depletes striatal DA, making dopaminergic restoration a central therapeutic target. Because DA does not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), treatment relies on its precursor L-DOPA. Intranasal (IN) administration offers a non-invasive alternative: it enables rapid absorption, avoids hepatic first-pass metabolism, and provides partial brain access via nose-to-brain pathways, positioning IN-DA as a potential tool to directly influence central dopaminergic function. This review integrates current knowledge on IN-DA. We first examine nasal anatomy, the biological and physicochemical variables governing IN delivery, and the mechanisms of nose-to-brain transport, followed by a focused synthesis of IN-DA findings. Preclinical evidence shows that IN-DA and IN-L-DOPA increase extracellular DA levels and turnover in the striatum, with IN-DA appearing to enhance dopaminergic tone through presynaptic uptake and storage. Behaviorally, IN-DA produces state-dependent improvements across cognitive, emotional, and social domains, particularly in neuropsychiatric rodent models. Although nanoparticle-based DA formulations are being developed primarily to improve delivery efficiency for PD therapy, emerging evidence suggests that IN-DA may serve more broadly as a neuromodulatory approach for disorders involving catecholamine dysregulation.\n\nID: 42435091\nTitle: Targeting the Redox-NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 axis with intranasal liposomal minocycline mitigates aluminum-induced cognitive and structural deficits.\nAbstract: Chronic neurodegeneration is increasingly linked to redox imbalance and persistent activation of inflammatory pathways, particularly the NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis. Aluminum exposure induces oxidative stress, hippocampal inflammation, and cognitive decline. Minocycline exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; however, its therapeutic translation is limited by systemic delivery constraints. Adult rats were exposed to chronic AlCl\u2083 and treated with intranasal Lip@min. A preliminary pilot study defined the optimal therapeutic dose. Oxidative stress markers (MDA, NO, SOD, CAT, GPx, GSH), pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, MCP-1), iNOS expression, NF-\u03baB nuclear immunoreactivity, and NLRP3 levels were assessed. Histopathological analysis of CA1 neuronal density and behavioral evaluation using Y-maze and novel object recognition (NOR) tests were performed. AlCl\u2083 exposure induced marked redox collapse, activation of NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 signaling, elevated cytokine production, CA1 neuronal degeneration, and cognitive impairment. Intranasal Lip@min significantly reduced oxidative stress, suppressed NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and NLRP3 expression, and attenuated pro-inflammatory mediator levels. Structural preservation of CA1 neurons was accompanied by significant improvement in working and recognition memory. Dose optimization identified 1\u00a0mg/kg as the optimal balance between efficacy and pulmonary safety. Intranasal liposomal minocycline mitigates aluminum-induced neurodegeneration by modulating the redox-NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 inflammatory axis, leading to structural and functional recovery. These findings support nose-to-brain nano-delivery as a promising strategy for targeting inflammasome-driven neuroinflammatory pathology.\n\nID: 42427030\nTitle: C9orf72-associated poly-GR in skeletal muscle leads to neuromuscular junction deficits and muscle atrophy.\nAbstract: Hexanucleotide repeat expansions in C9orf72 produce dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins that are widely expressed, including in the nervous system and skeletal muscle. Among these DPRs, arginine-containing proteins, poly-GR and poly-PR, are toxic in the nervous system, but whether DPRs in skeletal muscle contribute to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis is unclear. Here, we show that muscle-restricted expression of poly-GR drives motor deficits in mice, including muscle atrophy and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) deficits. Poly-GR in muscle interacted with the NMJ key organizer MuSK and promoted MuSK degradation, disrupting postsynaptic structure and impairing neuromuscular transmission. Importantly, a MuSK agonist antibody (X-17) stabilized NMJs and rescued neuromuscular transmission. Moreover, poly-GR in muscle activated the integrated stress response (ISR), elevating eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and broadly suppressing protein translation. ISR inhibition with ISRIB restored translation and MuSK protein levels and ameliorated both muscle atrophy and NMJ deficits. These findings demonstrate that skeletal muscle actively contributes to C9orf72-ALS pathology. Targeting muscle with ISRIB offers a therapeutic strategy to preserve motor function in C9orf72-ALS.\n\nID: 42423667\nTitle: A nose-to-brain drug delivery system targeting mitochondrial dysfunction: application potential and future prospects of chitosan nanogels in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neuronal degeneration and cognitive impairment. One of its core pathologies involves energy metabolism disruption and oxidative stress resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction. Traditional drugs struggle to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), while the nasal-brain drug delivery system offers a novel approach for achieving direct brain access. Chitosan, a biodegradable natural polymer with strong mucosal adhesion properties, has been extensively utilized in recent years to construct nanogel carriers. This approach enhances drug retention and absorption in the nasal epithelium, enabling targeted delivery to the brain via the olfactory or trigeminal nerve pathways. This paper provides a systematic review of research progress on chitosan nanogel-based naso-cerebral drug delivery systems targeting mitochondrial dysfunction, focusing on their molecular mechanisms in improving mitochondrial energy metabolism, scavenging excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), suppressing neuroinflammation, and regulating apoptosis. Additionally, this paper analyzes the design principles of various modification strategies-such as triphenylphosphine (TPP) modification, pH/ROS responsiveness, and drug-loaded nanozyme complexes-along with their efficacy validation in AD models. It further explores the future development trends of chitosan nanogel-mediated multi-target intervention and smart-responsive nasal-brain delivery systems, offering new directions for precision treatment of AD.\n\nID: 42419611\nTitle: Nose-to-brain delivery of an amyloid beta blocking peptide using polylactic acid-poloxamer 188 nanocarriers.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease, characterized by a progressive cognitive decline, represents a major global health challenge. A novel blocking peptide (seq: KRKKSRYKSWSVYVG) which binds with high affinity for toxic amyloid beta oligomers implicated in the early stages of the disease pathogenesis, has shown promising therapeutic potential. To overcome the challenges of brain drug delivery, nanoparticles combined with a nose-to-brain delivery approach were used to enhance brain biodistribution and drug delivery efficiency. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using these nanoparticles to deliver the blocking peptide to the brain. Nanoparticles composed of polylactic acid and poloxamer P188 were synthesized and successfully functionalised with surface-adsorbed blocking peptide, exhibiting physicochemical characteristics suitable for nose-to-brain delivery. The nanoparticles preserved the blocking peptide therapeutic activity against amyloid beta aggregation and, in addition, protected it from enzymatic degradation. Functional cellular evaluation showed biocompatibility of the nanoparticle-blocking peptide compound and potential internalization by neuronal cells. Importantly, in vivo experiments demonstrated the successful delivery of the nanoparticles from the nasal cavity to the brain, representing a significant step forward in targeted brain delivery. Nanoparticles functionalised with an anti-amyloid beta aggregation peptide successfully reached the brain following intranasal administration, suggesting their potential as a therapeutic strategy against the Alzheimer's disease.\n\nID: 42417497\nTitle: Targeting Autophagy in Alzheimer's Disease: Role of the AMPK/mTOR Pathway and Drug Repurposing.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques and tau (\u03c4) -related neurofibrillary tangles, often exacerbated by dysfunctional cellular clearance mechanisms. This manuscript explores the pivotal role of autophagy impairment in AD pathogenesis, with a specific focus on the AMPK/mTOR signaling axis as a primary regulatory pathway. Findings revealed that while mTOR overactivation suppresses autophagic flux and promotes the buildup of toxic protein aggregates, the activation of AMPK serves to restore homeostatic degradation processes. The review highlights that various pharmacological agent including rapamycin, metformin, trehalose, and curcumin, as well as repurposed drugs like lithium and statins can effectively enhance autophagy to ameliorate cognitive decline and neuroinflammation. Furthermore, herbal formulations such as Danggui Shaoyao San and phytoconstituents like Icariin demonstrate significant neuroprotective potential by modulating these same molecular pathways. Targeting autophagy represents a translationally viable approach for combating AD progression, with drug repurposing offering a time-efficient and cost-effective strategy. To advance these findings, future research should prioritize large-scale clinical trials to validate the efficacy of autophagy-inducing agents in human subjects. Additionally, investigating synergistic combinations of traditional bioactives with synthetic drugs and utilizing innovative delivery systems, such as intranasal nanotechnology-based platforms to bypass the blood-brain barrier, represents a promising frontier for developing effective, multi-targeted treatments against AD.\n\nID: 42401303\nTitle: A \"three-in-one\" nose-to-brain delivery strategy: intranasal vancomycin spray achieves simultaneous clearance of pneumococcal colonization, bacteremia, and meningitis.\nAbstract: Bacterial meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is a lethal central nervous system infection, yet conventional intravenous vancomycin struggles to cross the blood-brain barrier effectively. Interestingly, the natural pathology of this pathogen originates from nasopharyngeal colonization, disseminates into systemic bacteremia, and ultimately breaches the meninges. Inspired by this sequential invasion, we hypothesized that administering vancomycin directly at the exact starting point via a nasal spray could achieve a simultaneous \"three-in-one\" eradication of all infection stages. To realize this goal and overcome the bottleneck of nasal delivery, we developed a vancomycin nasal spray using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a viscosity modifier. By systematically tuning the formulation viscosity, we achieved a synchronous optimization of the macroscopic spray morphology and microscopic droplet behavior. This aerodynamic balance minimized premature droplet impaction at the anterior nasal valve and prevented excessive gravitational settling in the main nasal meatus. Quantitative analysis in a 3D-printed human nasal cast demonstrated that the optimized formulation F4 maximized target site coverage, achieving a total nasal meatus deposition of 2491.7 \u03bcg and a peak olfactory deposition fraction of 5.06%. The optimized spray increased cerebrospinal fluid bioavailability by 2.93-fold and drastically reduced peripheral renal exposure by 74.93% compared to intravenous injection. In a pneumococcal infection rat model, the intranasal therapy demonstrated superior multidimensional bactericidal efficacy, clearing 89.81% of the local nasopharyngeal colonies, 97.11% of the systemic bacteremia, and 93.83% of the intracerebral bacterial load. This robust pathogen clearance was accompanied by the prompt resolution of localized neuroinflammation, systemic procalcitonin levels, and circulating leukocyte abnormalities. Ultimately, this aerodynamically engineered formulation provides an anatomically inspired and highly effective intervention paradigm for managing complex central nervous system infections.\n\nID: 42401241\nTitle: Endogenous-metabolite-inspired polyamine-oleic acid lipids for safe mRNA delivery and PCSK9 gene editing.\nAbstract: Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used for nucleic acid delivery but often rely on synthetic ionizable cationic lipids that pose concerns regarding immunogenicity, metabolic compatibility, and tolerability. Here, we report an endogenous-metabolite-inspired lipid design strategy in which biogenic polyamines, including agmatine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine, were conjugated with oleic acid to generate polyamine-oleic acid lipids for mRNA delivery. Among these candidates, agmatine-oleic acid (Agm-oa) showed the best overall performance, forming LNPs with high mRNA encapsulation efficiency, uniform particle size distribution and robust in vitro transfection activity. Agm-oa displayed behavior distinct from that of classical ionizable lipids, with strong mRNA association likely mediated by its guanidinium-containing headgroup through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Beyond its delivery function, Agm-oa retained bioactivity associated with its agmatine-derived headgroup. Notably, agmatine and other bioactive metabolites released during Agm-oa degradation may suppress nitric oxide (NO) generation in macrophages while enhancing NO production in endothelial cells, suggesting that Agm-oa LNPs may confer anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effects following LNP decomposition. Moreover, Agm-oa LNPs-mediated adenine base editor delivery achieved efficient on-target editing at the PCSK9 locus. In hypercholesterolemic mice, Agm-oa LNPs enabled effective in vivo mRNA delivery and significant reduction of circulating LDL-C. Importantly, Agm-oa LNPs demonstrated a highly favorable safety profile compared to the benchmark formulations, with significantly lower serum LDH and IL-6 levels and minimal immunogenicity, alongside no detectable hepatotoxicity after repeated administration. Therefore, Agm-oa LNPs represent a safe, well-tolerated platform for nucleic acid delivery, with intrinsic bioactivity that may synergistically enhance therapeutic performance.\n\nID: 42400730\nTitle: Neuroprotective potential of resveratrol in Parkinson, Huntington, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis: a comprehensive review.\nAbstract: Resveratrol shows neuroprotective effects in preclinical studies across a number of neurodegenerative illnesses, including Parkinson's disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Huntington's disease (HD), and it enhances mitochondrial function through stimulation of the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1\u03b1 pathway, thereby improving mitochondrial oxidative capacity and ATP generation. The natural polyphenol lowers \u03b1-synuclein accumulation and affects autophagy; both markers of PD. Combining nano\u2011resveratrol formulations with L\u2011DOPA has shown greater therapeutic efficacy in animal models (MPTP mouse), while co\u2011administration with EGCG has shown synergistic neuroprotection in vitro (SH\u2011SY5Y cells). These combination strategies offer potential advantages in neuroprotection and symptom alleviation while minimizing adverse drug effects. Resveratrol activates SIRT1 and AMPK signaling in preclinical models, enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis, lowering apoptosis, and restoring cellular resilience. The effectiveness of various models and dosages varies. The primary mechanism by which resveratrol promotes neuronal survival and remyelination in multiple sclerosis is through SIRT1 activation, which does not directly reduce inflammation. As innovative delivery systems, intranasal nanoparticles and exosomes produced from macrophages have shown improved CNS targeting accuracy. Resveratrol slows down neurodegeneration and improves the prognosis of HD by improving motor function and stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis in addition to activating neuroprotective ERK signaling. All of these results point to resveratrol's several pathways as a strong contender for neurodegenerative disease adjunctive treatment. The current evidence base is insufficient to support clinical use of resveratrol for any of the four diseases. Further rigorous preclinical studies (including TDP-43 models for ALS, SIRT1 knockout studies, and human-feasible dosing) and well-designed clinical trials with pharmacokinetic endpoints are required before any clinical recommendations can be made.\n\nID: 42398703\nTitle: Rationale, design, and statistical analysis plan for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Limosilactobacillus reuteri to support mother-infant bonding and maternal socioemotional functioning in postpartum women at increased risk for postpartum depression.\nAbstract: Postpartum depression (PPD) is common and can impair early mother-infant bonding. Oxytocin (OXT) supports socioemotional adaptation, yet intranasal OXT yields supraphysiological exposure and mixed results. The probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) increases endogenous oxytocin levels in rodents, suggesting that it may enhance OXT signaling via gut-brain pathways in humans. We designed a proof-of-concept trial to test whether postpartum L. reuteri improves early mother-infant bonding and maternal mental health, impulse control, and emotion recognition. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, mothers aged \u226518\u00a0years at elevated PPD risk (history of depression, prior PPD, and/or increased prenatal depressive symptoms) received 6\u00a0weeks of once-daily L. reuteri or placebo, stratified by delivery mode (vaginal/Cesarean section). The primary endpoint is mother-infant bonding quality at Week 6; secondary endpoints include maternal mental health, impulse control, and emotion recognition at Week 6. Salivary OXT at Week 2 serves as a mechanistic endpoint. Forty-six participants (mean age\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0SD: 34.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.5\u00a0years) were enrolled and randomized; 38 (82.6%) completed the Week-6 visit. Baseline characteristics are reported. This trial evaluates whether a lactation-compatible L. reuteri intervention targeting endogenous OXT improves early mother-infant bonding and maternal well-being. Findings will inform feasibility, safety, and effect size estimates, clarify OXT's mechanistic role in PPD pathophysiology, and guide development of microbiome-based therapeutics for perinatal mental health.

However, the exponential growth of literature in this domain presents challenges in grasping the holistic research trajectory and identifying emerging hotspots. This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 4009 publications retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) spanning from 2000 to 2025. Tools including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R-bibliometrix were employed to map spatiotemporal trends, collaborative networks, and keyword evolution. The analysis reveals a robust upward trend in global research output, predominantly driven by China and the United States. Keyword clustering identified 5 major research sub-domains: Alzheimer's disease, Oxytocin (behavioral/psychiatric applications), Stroke and Neuroinflammation, Brain Tumors, and Nanoparticles. Burst detection analysis elucidates a distinct paradigm shift in scientific focus: early investigations prioritized mucosal absorption mechanisms and tolerance, the focus subsequently transitioned to specific therapeutic agents (e.g., insulin, oxytocin), and most recently, the field has been dominated by the optimization of delivery vectors, specifically lipid-based nanoparticles and exosomes. While nanotechnology has become the current technological frontier for enhancing brain targeting, a critical gap remains between promising preclinical results and clinical translation. Future research must prioritize the development of biomimetic delivery systems and highly predictive translational models to bridge the divide between bench and bedside. This review provides a strategic roadmap for researchers to navigate current trends and address the barriers hindering clinical application.\n\nID: 42391660\nTitle: Nose-to-brain delivery of riluzole-loaded nanoemulsion in a controlled cortical impact-induced traumatic brain injury: Insights fromIn vitro,Ex vivo, andIn vivostudies.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and functional impairments, yet effective brain-targeting therapies remain limited. The current study reports the development and evaluation of an intranasal (IN) riluzole-loaded mucoadhesive nanoemulsion (RLZ-MNE) to enhance nose-to-brain delivery and therapeutic efficacy in TBI. The optimized RLZ-MNE exhibited a mean globule size of 21.24\u202f\u00b1 0.5\u202fnm and spherical morphology. The formulation showed nasal-compatible pH and excellent spreading behavior, as reflected by a reduced contact angle (30.691\u202f\u00b1 0.1\u202f\u00b0). Ex vivo permeation studies depicted significantly enhanced flux (10.98\u202f\u00b1 0.79 \u00b5g/cm2/h) and permeability coefficient (3.66\u202f\u00d7 10-3 \u00b1 0.0003 cm/h) compared to pristine drug, with histological evidence of preserved mucosal integrity. In vitro studies in H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cells confirmed neuroprotection, evidenced by improved cell viability, reduced nitrosative stress and reactive oxygen species, and restoration of mitochondrial membrane potential. Pharmacokinetic evaluation revealed a \u223c2.8- and \u223c3.85-fold enhancement in brain Cmax following RLZ-MNE IN rather than RLZ-IN and RLZ-IV, respectively. Additionally, enhanced N2B transport was confirmed by increased drug targeting efficiency (%DTE, \u223c5.4-fold) and direct transport percentage (%DTP, \u223c4.81-fold) compared to RLZ-IN. In vivo, IN administration of RLZ-MNE at high and low doses significantly reduced neurological severity scores (\u20536-fold and 7.6-fold vs. CCI), improved motor coordination in the rota-rod test (*p\u202f<\u202f0.05), enhanced preference index (****p\u202f<\u202f0.0001; **p\u202f<\u202f0.01), and discrimination index (*p\u202f<\u202f0.05) relative to the CCI group. RLZ-MNE markedly decreased brain water content (***p\u202f<\u202f0.001), indicating attenuation of cerebral edema. The pro-inflammatory cytokines were also considerably reduced compared to the CCI. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated the downregulation of p-NF-\u03baB expression, and RT-PCR results depicted the restoration of EAAT2 mRNA expression following treatment with RLZ-MNE. Histopathological evaluation further corroborated these findings by demonstrating reduced lesion severity and preservation of neuronal architecture in RLZ-MNE-treated groups. Overall, RLZ-MNE demonstrated superior nasal permeation, antioxidant capacity, and neuroprotective efficacy, highlighting its promise as an efficient IN brain delivery approach for the management of TBI.\n\nID: 42381327\nTitle: Advances in Nano-Emulsion Intranasal Delivery Systems for Neurotherapeutics like Depression.\nAbstract: Introduction Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent global mental health challenge with a multifactorial etiology, including genetic, environmental, and biochemical influences. Current pharmacological treatments, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), face limitations, including delayed therapeutic onset, systemic side effects, and poor permeability across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To overcome these challenges, intranasal NE (NE) drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing drug bioavailability and facilitating direct nose-to-brain transport. Methods A comprehensive review of recent advancements in NE-based drug delivery for MDD was conducted, focusing on formulation strategies, pharmacokinetic improvements, and therapeutic outcomes. Studies evaluating the efficacy of NE formulations for delivering antidepressants, antipsychotics, and natural compounds, such as curcumin and resveratrol, were analyzed. The role of mucoadhesive agents like chitosan in enhancing nasal retention and drug absorption was also explored. Results NE formulations demonstrated superior drug delivery to the CNS, bypassing the BBB and reducing systemic toxicity. Preclinical and clinical studies indicate enhanced therapeutic efficacy, increased drug concentration at target sites, and improved patient compliance. The inclusion of mucoadhesive agents further optimized nasal retention, prolonging drug absorption and enhancing therapeutic effects. Additionally, NEs mitigated hepatic first-pass metabolism, leading to lower dosing requirements and reduced side effects. Discussion Nanoemulsion-based intranasal delivery presents a promising strategy for treating MDD, offering physiological and pharmacological advantages over oral routes. By bypassing the blood-brain barrier, these systems enable rapid and targeted brain delivery, enhancing drug efficacy. The nanoscale size improves solubility and absorption of poorly water-soluble compounds like curcumin and resveratrol. Incorporation of mucoadhesive agents such as chitosan further enhances nasal retention and drug uptake. Despite encouraging preclinical results, challenges remain in translating this approach clinically. Conclusion Intranasal NE-based drug delivery presents a transformative strategy for treating MDD and other CNS disorders. By integrating nanoscale formulation approaches with tailored pharmacokinetics, this system offers improved drug efficacy, safety, and patient adherence. Future research should focus on optimizing formulations, ensuring long-term stability, and advancing clinical translation for broader CNS applications.\n\nID: 42379412\nTitle: Intranasal stromal cell-derived factor-1\u03b1 mitigates parkinsonian deficits via dual modulation of neuroinflammation and gut microbiota in MPTP-induced models.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by dopaminergic neuronal loss and neuroinflammation, with emerging evidence implicating gut-brain axis dysregulation in its pathogenesis. Stromal cell-derived factor-1\u03b1 (SDF-1\u03b1), a chemokine with neuroprotective properties, remains underexplored as a therapeutic agent for PD. This study investigates the efficacy of intranasal SDF-1\u03b1 administration in mitigating motor deficits, gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, and its concurrent effects on the gut microbiota in an MPTP-induced PD mouse model. Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into vehicle, MPTP, and MPTP\u00a0+\u00a0SDF-1\u03b1 groups. Behavioral assessments, including the rotarod test and grip strength test, demonstrated that SDF-1\u03b1 significantly attenuated MPTP-induced motor impairments, including bradykinesia and coordination deficits. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that SDF-1\u03b1 restored tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (TH+) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), indicating robust dopaminergic neuroprotection. Furthermore, SDF-1\u03b1 ameliorated GI dysfunction by reducing intestinal permeability, as measured by FITC-dextran assay, and improving gut motility, as assessed by Evans blue transit test. Mechanistically, SDF-1\u03b1 suppressed nigrostriatal inflammation by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) while elevating anti-inflammatory markers (IL-4, IL-10). Activation of astrocytes (GFAP+) in MPTP-treated mice was reduced to near-control levels following SDF-1\u03b1 administration. Gut microbiota analysis via 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that SDF-1\u03b1 restored both \u03b1- and \u03b2-diversity, counteracting MPTP-induced dysbiosis. Notably, SDF-1\u03b1 reversed the depletion of Akkermansia, a keystone genus associated with mucosal integrity and barrier function. These findings demonstrate that intranasal SDF-1\u03b1 concurrently attenuates motor and gastrointestinal deficits, nigrostriatal neuroinflammation, intestinal barrier disruption, and gut microbiota dysbiosis in the MPTP mouse model. Our study highlights the microbiota-gut-brain axis as a critical therapeutic target in PD and proposes intranasal SDF-1\u03b1 delivery as a novel, non-invasive strategy warranting further mechanistic investigation.\n\nID: 42357272\nTitle: Ion-Triggered In Situ Gel Combined with Melatonin Liposomes: Breaking Through the Dual Barriers of Nasal and Brain Delivery to Treat Insomnia.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Insomnia severely impairs quality of life. Oral melatonin (MEL) suffers from poor brain delivery. Intranasal administration bypasses the blood-brain barrier, but rapid mucociliary clearance shortens drug retention, and MEL poor water solubility limits its nasal dissolution. Traditional in situ gels have \"gelation-first, spreading-second\" defects, causing uneven distribution. Herein, we developed a two-step sequential ion-triggered in situ gel combined with MEL liposomes (MEL-Lips-Gel) to enhance solubility, achieve instant uniform coating, and prolong retention for efficient nose-to-brain delivery. Methods: MEL-Lips were dispersed in alginate (first component) and calcium gluconate served as the second component. After sequential spray, the two components mix and form an ion-crosslinked gel. Rheology, in vivo fluorescence imaging, in vitro release, open-field/sucrose preference tests, and H&E staining were performed. Results: MEL-Lips showed uniform size and good encapsulation. The sequential system achieved instant widespread spreading and rapid gelation, significantly prolonged nasal retention, enabled sustained brain delivery, and reversed insomnia-induced hyperactivity and anxiety-like behaviors more effectively than oral MEL, intranasal MEL solution, liposomes alone, or non-liposomal gel, with good nasal safety. Conclusions: This sequential ion-triggered liposome-in-gel strategy synergistically overcomes rapid clearance (via gel) and poor solubility (via liposomes), enhancing nose-to-brain delivery of melatonin and providing a promising platform for insomnia therapy.\n\nID: 42352265\nTitle: Intranasal Adipose-Derived MSC Extracellular Vesicles Confer Sustained Cognitive Improvement and Suppress Alzheimer's Pathology in APP/PS1 Mice.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) lacks effective disease-modifying therapies, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADMSCs) have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates. In this study, we investigated the brain biodistribution and dose-dependent effects of intranasally administered ADMSC-EVs in female APP/PS1 mice, with age-matched wild-type mice and vehicle-treated transgenic mice serving as controls. EV biodistribution was assessed using PKH26 labeling, cognitive performance was evaluated using the Morris water maze, Y-maze, and novel object recognition tests, and hippocampal amyloid pathology and plasma AD-related biomarkers were analyzed. Intranasally delivered ADMSC-EVs rapidly reached multiple brain regions, including the hippocampus, improved learning and memory performance, and reduced hippocampal amyloid-\u03b2 1-42 (A\u03b242) deposition and plaque burden. These effects followed a nonlinear dose-response pattern, with reduced efficacy at low doses and no additional benefits at high doses. Notably, partial behavioral and pathological benefits persisted after treatment cessation. Together, these findings show that intranasal ADMSC-EVs exert therapeutic effects in APP/PS1 mice and support the importance of dose optimization and post-treatment durability in the development of EV-based interventions for AD.\n\nID: 42350373\nTitle: Karyoptosis mediates cell death and neurodegeneration upon proteotoxic stress.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases are frequently associated with proteotoxic stress linked to disease specific proteins. The autophagy-lysosome system provides essential control of proteotoxic stress and its failure can lead to initiation of apoptosis. However, in aging and neurodegenerative diseases apoptosis is insufficient to account for all neuronal death, and several different cell death types have been reported in these contexts. Here we show that karyoptosis, a distinct form of cell death, can be induced by proteotoxic stress and then develops through nuclear degeneration and cellular expulsion of nuclear material. We establish that karyoptosis is regulated by the p38 kinase signalling pathway, which controls stability of the nuclear lamina protein LaminB1 via direct phosphorylation. We demonstrate that karyoptosis affects neurons in models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD) pathology. Finally, we identify karyoptotic features in post-mortem frontal cortex of FTD and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Together these findings characterise a form of cell death directly linked to proteotoxic stress and nuclear lamina stability that is associated with neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42348056\nTitle: The Biological Basis, Mechanisms of Action, and Optimization Strategies of Exosomes Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder whose pathological process involves multiple mechanisms, including A\u03b2 deposition, tau protein abnormalities, neuroinflammation, synaptic damage, and neuronal loss. Current therapeutic approaches remain ineffective in halting disease progression; therefore, the development of multi-targeted, low-immunogenicity therapeutic strategies with efficient brain delivery is of great significance. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-derived exosomes) inherit the immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and tissue-repairing properties of MSCs, and possess good biocompatibility and the potential to cross the blood-brain barrier. Studies have shown that MSC-derived exosomes exert therapeutic effects by modulating neuroinflammation, promoting neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, reducing A\u03b2 deposition and tau pathology, and regulating multiple AD-related signaling pathways. At the same time, the molecular composition and functions of MSC-derived exosomes derived from different tissues exhibit heterogeneity, and their therapeutic efficacy is influenced by factors such as the source cells, culture conditions, preparation processes, and administration methods. In recent years, strategies such as engineered surface modification, functional molecule loading, three-dimensional culture, microenvironment pretreatment, large-scale production, as well as intranasal administration and biomaterial delivery systems have provided new directions for enhancing the brain-targeting ability, stability, yield, and therapeutic efficacy of MSC-derived exosomes. This review summarizes the biological basis of MSC-derived exosomes, their mechanisms of action in AD treatment, and optimization strategies, providing a reference for their further development and translational application as a cell-free therapeutic approach for AD.\n\nID: 42342160\nTitle: Novel approach for direct drug delivery to the central nervous system via intratympanic administration.\nAbstract: Therapeutic drugs for central nervous system (CNS) diseases need to reach CNS tissues. However, the blood-brain barrier often limits their therapeutic effects. To address this issue, highly invasive drug administration routes, such as intracerebroventricular or intrathecal administration, can be used. In addition, intranasal (i.n.) administration is increasingly being recognized as a non-invasive route, although its application in humans is limited. Hence, we explored intratympanic (i.t.) administration as a novel, minimally invasive route for direct drug delivery to the CNS. The aim of this study was to develop a new administration route that enables efficient and comprehensive evaluation of CNS drug transport by employing cassette dosing. Using this approach, we assessed multiple low- and high-permeability drugs concurrently in rodents and non-human primates. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissues to investigate the potential for enhanced CNS penetration. Furthermore, the effects of cetirizine, a second-generation histamine receptor antagonist, on spontaneous locomotor activity were examined following i.t. and intravenous (i.v.) administration. I.t. of low-permeable drugs such as cetirizine markedly increased their penetration into CSF and brain in both rats and monkeys. Pharmacologically, i.t. of cetirizine significantly decreased spontaneous locomotor activity in rats, whereas such effects were not observed following i.v.. This study demonstrates that i.t. may serve as a promising route (Ear-to-Brain) for treating neurodegenerative diseases that currently lack effective treatment options.\n\nID: 42342036\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cell secretome attenuates disease-associated microglial activation and cognitive decline in TBI-associated neuroinflammation.\nAbstract: Therapeutic options for traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain limited, in part due to injury-induced activation of microglia toward disease-associated microglia (DAM) phenotypes that contribute to persistent neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. We evaluated whether non-invasive intranasal delivery of mesenchymal stem cell secretome can enhance recovery after TBI by modulating microglial DAM signaling. Adult C57BL/6 mice underwent moderate controlled cortical impact (CCI) TBI. Adipose Stem Cell-derived Concentrated Conditioned Media (ASC-CCM) (\u223c20\u202fng protein/day, four doses) was administered intranasally, while sham and TBI controls received saline. Cognitive and memory functions assessed at 7 and 30 days post-injury showed TBI mice with impairments in learning, working, and long-term memory, while ASC-CCM-treated TBI mice performed similar to sham. These functional deficits correlated with increased astrogliosis (GFAP) and apoptosis (TUNEL), both of which were attenuated by ASC-CCM. TBI induced a time-dependent increase in astrocyte-associated APOE in the ipsilateral peri-lesion area and TYROBP in activated microglia near the impact site; ASC-CCM treatment significantly reduced both markers. Transcriptomic analysis of peri-lesion tissue at days 7 and 30 confirmed robust upregulation of DAM-associated genes (APOE, TYROBP, TREM2) after TBI, which was mitigated by intranasal ASC-CCM. Consistent with these findings, TREM2 expression in ipsilateral CD11b\u202f+\u202fCD45high cells was markedly reduced following treatment. These data show that microglial DAM signaling is a modifiable neurochemical pathway after TBI, and that intranasal delivery of ASC-CCM reduces microglial activation and improves cognitive outcomes. This strategy potentially offers a translational path to a non-invasive therapeutic for acute and chronic TBI.\n\nID: 42331627\nTitle: Bioanalytical RP-HPLC Method Development and Validation for Simultaneous Estimation of Temozolomide and Resveratrol: A Pharmacokinetic Analysis in Rat Plasma and Brain.\nAbstract: Temozolomide, a chemotherapy drug used to treat glioblastoma, has high-dose and dose-related side effects, limiting its use. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, showed potential in the treatment of glioblastoma. Many studies showed the synergistic activity of resveratrol and temozolomide against glioblastoma, but no analytical method for simultaneous estimation in a biological matrix is available till date. This study aimed to develop and validate a simple, rapid, and sensitive bioanalytical method using HPLC technique for simultaneous estimation of temozolomide and resveratrol in rat plasma and brain for pharmacokinetic study. Isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method using C18 column was used. Theophylline and caffeine were used as internal standards for Temozolomide and Resveratrol, respectively. The mobile phase methanol: 0.1% glacial acetic acid (30:70) with flow rate 1.0\u2009mL/min and 310-nm wavelength was used. The LOD for temozolomide and resveratrol in the plasma was 0.96 and 1.29\u2009\u03bcg/mL, respectively, whereas LOQ was 2.91 and 3.89\u2009\u03bcg/mL, respectively. The LOD for temozolomide and resveratrol in brain homogenate was 1.01 and 1.24\u2009\u03bcg/mL, respectively, whereas LOQ was 3.07 and 3.76\u2009\u03bcg/mL, respectively. This analytical method can be used for simultaneous estimation of temozolomide and resveratrol in biological samples, with higher sensitivity, resulting in more meaningful and appropriate pharmacokinetic analysis.\n\nID: 42331064\nTitle: Creatine and cognitive function in rodents: A systematic review of behavioral and neurobiological evidence.\nAbstract: Creatine monohydrate is one of the most widely used dietary supplements worldwide, and growing preclinical evidence suggests it may exert cognitive benefits beyond its established role in energy metabolism. However, the conditions under which these effects emerge, and the neurobiological mechanisms mediating them, remain incompletely characterised. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, searching Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science for experimental studies published between 2015 and 2026. Studies were eligible if they evaluated the effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive performance in rodent models and reported behavioural and/or neurobiological outcomes. Risk of bias was assessed using SYRCLE's tool for animal studies. Nineteen studies were included, comprising experiments rodents across healthy animals and models of neurodegeneration, metabolic insult, perinatal stress, and creatine biosynthesis deficiency. Creatine improved learning and memory in the majority of studies. The magnitude of cognitive benefits was moderated by route of administration, with intranasal delivery showing superior brain uptake and cognitive effects relative to oral supplementation, treatment duration, and sex. Mechanistically, cognitive improvements were associated with enhanced mitochondrial respiratory capacity, upregulation of synaptic plasticity proteins (CaMKII, PSD-95, BDNF) via CaMKII/CREB and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling, attenuation of neuroinflammation through NF-\u03baB suppression and STAT1 inhibition, and reduction of oxidative stress through CK-BB restoration. Preclinical evidence consistently supports a cognitive-enhancing role for creatine, mediated by a convergent set of energetic, synaptic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant mechanisms. Translating these findings to clinical applications will require brain-targeted delivery strategies, systematic consideration of sex as a biological variable, and mechanistically rigorous study designs.\n\nID: 42325550\nTitle: Exosomes: A new frontier in the treatment of neurological diseases.\nAbstract: Exosomes (Exos) are an essential class of extracellular vesicles enriched with a wide range of biologically active molecules, which gives them a unique advantage in participating in intercellular signaling and communication and serving as carriers for drug delivery. Exo-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are currently hot topics in disease research. Owing to their naturally low immunogenicity, good biocompatibility, ability to penetrate the blood\u2012brain barrier (BBB), and engineered modifications, exos have significant advantages and possible applications in the treatment of nervous system diseases. Due to the serious harm of neurological diseases to human health, they have been widely studied by researchers. Exos can be administered in a variety of ways, including intranasal administration, intracranial administration, local stereotactic injection, and encapsulation in biomaterials, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, several requirements need to be met before exo-based therapies can be implemented, such as the standardization of isolation and purification techniques, an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action, and safety assessments and regulation for clinical translation. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the biogenesis, molecular composition, function, and delivery modes of exos and their therapeutic roles and mechanisms in neurological diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and stroke) and to discuss the current challenges and future perspectives to support ongoing research and clinical applications.\n\nID: 42323146\nTitle: Nose-to-brain delivery of empagliflozin-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers incorporated in-situ gel: Biopharmaceutical evaluation for Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's therapy remains limited by poor drug targeting and multifactorial pathology. The therapeutic potential of SGLT-2 inhibitors like empagliflozin (EGZ) is constrained by poor brain bioavailability. Current study investigates the potential of EGZ-nanostructured lipid carrier (ENLC) for brain delivery via nasal route. The ENLC were prepared using hot melt emulsification technique followed by probe sonication and optimized using Box-Behnken design. ENLC were incorporated into poloxamer 407-chitosan in situ gel (ENPCG) to improve nasal retention, controlled release, and direct brain transport via olfactory and trigeminal uptake. ENPCG demonstrated a sustained drug release of 56.36\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.37\u00a0% and enhanced nasal permeation. Nasal kinetics revealed high Cmaxmucosa (48.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.42\u00a0\u00b5g/cm2) relative to plain EGZ-suspension (15.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.7\u00a0\u00b5g/cm2) in goat nasal mucosa. ENPCG significantly improved cognitive memory in sporadic AD model, as confirmed by behavioural, biochemical, and histopathological assessments in Wistar rats. Pharmacokinetic study in Sprague Dawley rats revealed a 4.5-fold increase in AUC0-t of intranasal ENPCG (30.56\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.45\u00a0\u03bcg/mL*h) relative to intravenous ENLC (6.73\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.15\u00a0\u03bcg/mL*h). ENPCG showed 95.31\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.89\u00a0% drug targeting potential. Furthermore, a strong point-to-point ex vivo-in vivo correlation (R2\u00a0=\u00a00.9952) was observed, suggesting a non-invasive potential of ENPCG for translating AD interventions.\n\nID: 42322649\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles promote mitochondrial repair of dopaminergic neurons via Homer protein homolog 3 in Parkinson's disease.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease is a major neurodegenerative disorder, and mitochondrial dysfunction has been increasingly recognized as a key contributor to its pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest that treatment with mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles offers a promising cell-free strategy for mitigating neurodegeneration. In the present study, we investigated the effects of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles on dopaminergic neurons in a murine Parkinson's disease model and explored the underlying mechanisms related to mitochondrial impairment. A Parkinson's disease mouse model was established using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5- tetrahydropyridine-induced neurotoxicity, followed by the intranasal administration of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles and comprehensive behavioral and pathological assessments. To elucidate the mechanistic basis of any effects, we examined mitochondrial function and Homer protein homolog 3 (Homer3) expression in brain tissue. Mice with Homer3 knockdown were used to validate the role of Homer3 in the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicle administration significantly reduced motor dysfunction in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-induced Parkinson's disease mice by protecting dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles increased both mitochondrial number and function through Homer3 upregulation in Parkinson's disease mice. The therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles in rescuing dopaminergic neurons were impaired by Homer3 knockdown. Collectively, these findings suggest that, at least in part, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles ameliorate dopaminergic neuron damage via the Homer3-mediated restoration of mitochondrial function in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Our results highlight the neuroprotective role of mesenchymal stem cell- derived small extracellular vesicles in Parkinson's disease and provide new perspectives on their therapeutic potential.\n\nID: 42313899\nTitle: A Multispecies Systematic and Critical Review of Intranasal Administration in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Emergency Care: Promising Evidence and Overlooked Challenges.\nAbstract: Intranasal (IN) drug delivery has increasingly considered as an easy, practical and non-invasive alternative to parenteral administration in veterinary medicine, offering rapid systemic and potential nose-to-brain effects. The first part of this review systematically collected and synthesized published evidence on IN administration across animal species, while the second part critically analysed the anatomical, pharmacological and technical factors that determine its success and limitations. Part I consisted a total of 110 eligible studies published between 1991 and 2025, encompassing dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, ruminants, birds and reptiles. IN delivery has been investigated for a range of purposes and produced clinically meaningful sedation, analgesia and drug reversal, often comparable to intramuscular administration but generally characterized by slower onset and greater variability among species. Despite encouraging and favourable results, IN delivery was not without limitations. Its effectiveness can be strongly influenced by species-specific nasal anatomy and physiology, formulation characteristics and dosing volume. Defensive reactions, poor tolerability, sneezing, nasopharyngeal irritations, hypersalivation or swallowing of the drug are frequently reported. Future progress requires species-specific case selection guidelines and dosing standards, pharmacokinetic validation and developing safe concentrated formulations. Transparent reporting and balanced assessment of both benefits and drawbacks are essential to ensure the safe, effective and ethically responsible integration of IN administration into veterinary anaesthesia and critical care practice.\n\nID: 42311424\nTitle: Engineering Nanocarriers for Dopamine Stabilization and Targeted Brain Delivery: Mechanisms, Approaches and Translational Challenges.\nAbstract: Dopamine plays a central role in motor control, cognition, reward signaling, and neuroendocrine regulation, and its dysregulation is strongly associated with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease. However, conventional dopaminergic therapies remain limited by poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, rapid systemic metabolism, short half-life, peripheral toxicity, and dopamine oxidation-induced neurotoxicity. Nanomedicine-based drug delivery systems have emerged as promising strategies to overcome these limitations by enhancing dopamine stability, improving BBB transport, enabling controlled release, and facilitating targeted delivery to dopaminergic brain regions. This review comprehensively summarizes current advances in dopamine-targeted nanotherapeutics, including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, dendrimers, inorganic nanoparticles, exosomes, and biomimetic vesicles. Particular emphasis is placed on the dual role of nanocarriers in both facilitating dopamine delivery and protecting dopamine from oxidative degradation and reactive oxygen species-associated toxicity. Among currently investigated platforms, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based nanocarriers, and exosome-inspired vesicles appear particularly promising due to their ability to improve dopamine stability, facilitate controlled release, enhance BBB penetration, and enable targeted brain delivery. The review additionally discusses receptor-mediated targeting strategies, intranasal delivery approaches, translational barriers, manufacturing scalability, long-term safety considerations, and regulatory challenges associated with clinical implementation. Finally, emerging future directions involving AI-assisted nanocarrier engineering, precision-targeted delivery systems, and stimuli-responsive nanomedicine are highlighted as promising approaches for the development of next-generation therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nID: 42311420\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Curcumin-Loaded Pure Drug Self-Assembled Lipid-Based Nanoparticles for Targeted Therapy of Depression.\nAbstract: Current antidepressants are limited by insufficient efficacy of conventional monoaminergic drugs and poor brain penetration across the blood-brain barrier. This study designed pure curcumin loaded lipid nanoparticle (CNP) with optimized brain-targeting delivery for depression therapy. Cur molecules first self-assembled into carrier-free drug nanoparticles. Subsequently, CNP were then prepared via thin-film dispersion and fully characterized in terms of particle size, PDI, DSC, XRD, TEM. The antidepressant effect of CNP was systematically investigated via in vitro and in vivo assays, including cellular uptake, LPS-induced stress model in BV2 cells, and in vivo CUMS depression model. CNP displayed uniform spherical morphology with an average size of 115.8 \u00b1 18.3 nm, PDI of 0.216 \u00b1 0.015 and zeta potential of -27.1 mV, along with high encapsulation efficiency (86.11 \u00b1 4.28%), drug loading (6.62 \u00b1 0.45%) and sustained release behavior. The cellular uptake efficiency of the CNP group reached 41.47 \u00b1 1.45%, which was more than double that of the Cur group (17.21 \u00b1 0.54%). In vitro studies showed that CNP not only rescued the viability of cells damaged by corticosterone and hydrogen peroxide but also exerted significantly enhanced anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in lipopolysaccharide induced cellular stress models. In vivo studies indicated that CNP alleviated depressive-like behaviors more effectively. CNP exhibits significantly enhanced antidepressant efficacy, thus providing a promising approach for developing brain-targeted therapeutics for MDD.\n\nID: 42302125\nTitle: Sexually dimorphic mediation of experimental post-traumatic headache by orexin receptor signaling.\nAbstract: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) commonly induces transient acute (APTH) or persistent (PPTH) post-traumatic headache (PTH) that often resembles migraine. As orexin B sensitizes male but not female murine, nonhuman primate, and human dorsal root ganglion neurons and supradural orexin B/orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) signaling elicits migraine-like pain in na\u00efve male, but not female, mice we explored possible sexually dimorphic contributions of orexin B/OX2R to PTH. In mice of both sexes, mTBI-induced transient cephalic allodynia, a surrogate measure of APTH. After APTH resolution, allodynia was reinstated by exposure to normally innocuous stress or by inhalational delivery of a subthreshold concentration of umbellulone, a TRPA1 agonist, suggesting the expression of PPTH. In contrast to these nonselective stimuli, subthreshold supradural orexin B induced PPTH only in male mTBI mice. Intranasal delivery of a CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid to edit trigeminal OX2R expression prevented APTH and development of PPTH selectively in male mTBI mice. Daily oral suvorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA), beginning immediately after mTBI, prevented APTH as well as PPTH. Critically, starting suvorexant treatment after resolution of APTH also prevented stress- or umbellulone-induced PPTH. EEG/EMG-defined sleep architecture or immobility-defined sleep was not disrupted in this mTBI model suggesting that suvorexant benefits are unlikely related to sleep modulation. Our findings reveal a male-specific mechanism of PTH maintained by orexin B/OX2R signaling and suggest that approved DORAs may be beneficial in treating APTH and preventing transition to PPTH in men. Importantly, DORAs may also be effective in men with established PPTH.\n\nID: 42300978\nTitle: Next-generation intranasal delivery nano-platforms for targeted brain therapy of Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that poses a growing global health burden. Effective drug delivery to the brain is largely constrained by the selective nature of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits therapeutic efficacy of conventional oral medications. Intranasal administration has emerged as a noninvasive and promising route for direct nose-to-brain transport, circumventing BBB restrictions. This review explores the potential of intranasal drug delivery as an alternative approach for targeted brain therapy in Alzheimer's disease. It comprehensively discusses the mechanisms of nasal absorption, physiological and formulation-related barriers, and the role of advanced nanocarrier platforms in overcoming these limitations. Emphasis is placed on recent innovations involving polymeric, lipid-based, and vesicular carriers, along with the incorporation of mucoadhesive and permeation-enhancing agents. The present focus is enhancing bioavailability, prolonging drug residence time, and minimizing systemic toxicity. Surface modifications of nanocarriers further facilitates mucosal adhesion and enables effective nose-to-brain transport of encapsulated therapeutic agents. However, clinical translation remains challenging due to interindividual variability in nasal physiology, scalability constraints, and regulatory complexities. Future progress will depend on the rational design of multifunctional nanocarriers, integration of mucoadhesive and stimuli-responsive components, and the use of precision-based formulation strategies.\n\nID: 42297166\nTitle: Harnessing intranasal delivery of natural plant extracts and tyramine-modified hyaluronan hydrogels for neuroprotection in neurodegenerative diseases.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, calling for innovative therapeutic approaches with effective brain recovery. In this study, hyaluronic acid-tyramine (HA-Tyr) was synthesized via horseradish peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide crosslinking and characterized as intranasal carrier of Rosmarinus officinalis and Mentha rotundifolia extracts. Physicochemical analyses confirmed rheological stability, injectability, and mucoadhesive capacity, together with swelling profiles suitable for nasal mucosa. The functionalization with natural extracts provided strong antioxidant activity, while water-holding capacity remained within physiologically acceptable limits. Both extracts were efficiently encapsulated and exhibited a biphasic release profile over 24\u00a0h, highlighting the influence of phytochemical composition on release behaviour. Among the extracts, HA-Tyr/Rosmarinus officinalis significantly protected immortalized human neuroblastoma cells from neurotoxin-induced toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner, reducing reactive oxygen species and nitrite production. Downregulating Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 and Caspase-1 while enhancing \u03b2-Nerve Growth Factor expression, the formulations showed a promising potential in supporting neuronal survival. In vivo validation in a Parkinsonian mouse model revealed that intranasal administration of HA-Tyr/Rosmarinus officinalis restored motor coordination, forelimb use, and exploratory behaviour, while reducing anxiety-like responses. Importantly, these functional improvements occurred in the absence of dopamine restoration, although a restored dopamine metabolism, with reduced catabolic degradation (modulatory effect on 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, DOPAC, production) was detected. In conclusion, neuroprotective and symptomatic effects were observed after HA-Tyr/Rosmarinus officinalis administration, supporting HA-Tyr hydrogels as promising mucoadhesive platform for intranasal delivery of neuroprotective compounds and bridging material innovation with translational potential.\n\nID: 42288469\nTitle: Intranasal mucoadhesive biomaterials for nose-to-brain neuroactive delivery: platform design and model-informed translation for time-bounded CNS exposure.\nAbstract: Intranasal nose-to-brain delivery remains difficult to translate because regional deposition, mucociliary clearance, epithelial transport, local instability, tolerability feedback, and systemic absorption jointly determine central nervous system (CNS) exposure. This evidence-mapping review evaluates mucoadhesive biomaterial platforms as formulation-development tools for improving residence, release control, deposition reproducibility, and exposure interpretability in neuroactive intranasal delivery, using insomnia-relevant timing requirements as a stringent case for controlled onset and offset. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus were searched from 1 January 2008 to 30 April 2026. Seventeen primary intranasal platform studies were included; route-attribution credibility was high in five studies, moderate in five, low in six, and not assessable in one. Platform classes included in situ gelling depots, pre-formed gels, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid or vesicular carriers, hybrid nanoparticle-in-gel systems, and device-coupled dry powders. Key formulation variables were translated into development endpoints, including rheology, gelation, mucoadhesion, release kinetics, deposition, permeability, systemic leakage, and nasal tolerability. The proposed model-informed strategies are conceptual; no new physiologically based pharmacokinetic simulations were performed. Successful platforms should be judged by reproducible onset, controlled offset, bounded systemic exposure, and recovery-phase safety rather than by peak brain concentrations or targeting ratios alone.\n\nID: 42279120\nTitle: Skull Pneumatization Forms a Biothermal System Protecting Ocular and Vestibular Homeostasis.\nAbstract: Background: Paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells have been attributed to multiple functions-such as voice resonance, cranial lightening, and pressure regulation-yet their potential role in local thermal homeostasis remains underappreciated. The thermoregulatory hypothesis, first proposed in the mid-twentieth century, was largely abandoned after the mid-century, when anthropological findings of climate-correlated variation seemed contradictory. Hypothesis: We propose that pneumatized skull regions form a three-component craniofacial biothermal system that maintains thermal stability in the ocular vitreous and vestibular endolymph, two avascular, temperature-sensitive structures that lack intrinsic thermoregulatory capacity. This represents a novel integration that explicitly links paranasal and mastoid pneumatization into a coordinated system that protects sensory organs, distinct from previous brain-cooling hypotheses. Mechanism: The system comprises: (1) passive thermal insulation via air spaces, providing ~15-fold greater thermal resistance than bone; (2) active cold protection via mucosal heat delivery (estimated 2-5 W capacity); and (3) active heat dissipation via evaporative cooling (estimated 0.3-0.5 W capacity). This architecture provides asymmetric protection, with cold buffering exceeding heat dissipation by approximately 5- to 15-fold, consistent with thermodynamic constraints and putative evolutionary priorities. Evidence: Preliminary observations consistent with this hypothesis include the anatomical proximity of pneumatized regions to the vitreous and labyrinth, intranasal selective brain cooling studies, and clinical observations after mastoidectomy showing preserved pressure buffering but reduced vestibular thermal insulation under extreme stimulation. Climate-correlated pneumatization patterns are consistent with bidirectional thermal adaptation. Implications: We present five falsifiable predictions that can be tested with thermographic imaging, pharmacological manipulation, and computational modeling. Validation could inform surgical planning, explain postoperative thermal-sensitivity symptoms, and provide evolutionary insights into craniofacial adaptation.\n\nID: 42277569\nTitle: Exosome Therapy: A Novel Investigational Approach in Acute Myocardial Infarction.\nAbstract: Despite major advances in reperfusion therapy and pharmacological management, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Conventional treatment strategies primarily focus on restoring coronary blood flow to ischemic myocardium; however, their ability to regenerate damaged cardiac tissue remains limited. In recent years, exosomes have emerged as a promising cell-free therapeutic approach for cardiac repair following AMI. Exosomes are nanosized extracellular vesicles secreted by various cell types that carry diverse bioactive molecules, including microRNAs, proteins, lipids, and signaling factors, which mediate intercellular communication and regulate multiple biological processes involved in myocardial healing. Emerging experimental and preclinical evidence suggests that exosome-based therapy may attenuate inflammation, reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis, enhance angiogenesis, modulate immune responses, and promote myocardial regeneration following ischemic injury. Compared with conventional stem cell therapy, exosomes offer several advantages, including lower immunogenicity, reduced risk of tumorigenicity, improved stability, and easier storage and handling. Furthermore, engineered exosomes and targeted delivery systems are being investigated to enhance therapeutic specificity and efficacy in cardiovascular diseases. In addition to their therapeutic potential, circulating exosomes are also being explored as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of AMI. This review highlights the biological characteristics of exosomes, their mechanisms of action in myocardial repair, current experimental and clinical evidence, and future perspectives of exosome-based therapeutics in the management of AMI.\n\nID: 42275483\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles Enables RNA Cargo Entry Into the Brain.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by bacteria are potent mediators of host-microbe interactions. They modulate immune responses, deliver functional molecules and influence disease progression. However, whether bacterial EVs can access the brain and functionally affect host cells remains unclear. In this study, we engineered Escherichia coli-derived EVs by electroporating Cre recombinase mRNA (Ec EVCre) and assessed their transport and functional delivery following intranasal administration. Using mT/mG reporter mice, we observed EV uptake in the olfactory epithelium and recombination-driven GFP expression in a subset of neurons in the olfactory bulb, providing proof-of-concept for the functional delivery of bacterial EV-associated mRNA into the brain. Single-cell RNA sequencing and imaging analyses of the olfactory regions revealed neuronal and immune cell subsets as key EV targets. Microfluidic biochip chamber assays with cultured sensory neurons demonstrated that EVs undergo retrograde axonal transport from neurite terminals to the soma via signalling endosomes. Pharmacological inhibition significantly impaired EV uptake, supporting the involvement of endocytic pathways. In addition to neuronal entry, we discovered that phagocytic cells, including neutrophils and macrophages, can engulf EVCre in the nasal mucosa and migrate into the brain, providing an alternative immune-mediated route for vesicle delivery. Together, these findings indicate that bacterial EVs exploit both neuronal and phagocytic pathways to deliver functional RNA cargo into the brain, providing novel insights into microbial access to the central nervous system and its implications for neuroimmune interactions.\n\nID: 42589639\nTitle: RAN Translation-Coupled Decay of the C9orf72 GGGGCC Repeat Transcript by the RNA Exosome Suppresses Dipeptide Repeat Production.\nAbstract: The RNA exosome plays a critical role in surveilling nuclear mRNA biogenesis and regulating co-translational mRNA decay in the cytoplasm. Unlike canonical translation, repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of a GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) within an intron of the C9orf72 locus leads to the synthesis of neurotoxic dipeptide-repeat (DPR) proteins, contributing to the pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (C9-ALS/FTD). However, it remains unclear whether aberrant RAN translation is monitored and regulated co-translationally or how C9orf72 HRE (C9-HRE) mRNA is degraded during this process. Here, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA. During this process, the RNA exosome engages the translating ribosome-C9-HRE mRNA complex to mediate RAN translation-coupled mRNA decay. Moreover, overexpression of EXOSC3, a key subunit of the RNA exosome cap, promotes RAN translation-coupled decay of C9-HRE mRNA and suppresses DPR production. In iPSC-derived neurons, a reduction in EXOSC3 levels blocks C9-HRE mRNA decay in a translation-dependent manner, further confirming its role in RAN translation surveillance. These findings highlight the essential function of the RNA exosome, particularly EXOSC3, in mitigating RAN translation-associated toxicity and preventing pathological DPR production. This work provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies for C9-ALS/FTD and may have broader implications for other disorders involving RAN translation.\n\nID: 42539252\nTitle: Altered neuronal start codon stringency favors cap-independent repeat-associated non-AUG translation.\nAbstract: Intronic GGGGCC repeat expansions in C9orf72 cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This expansion supports a non-canonical form of translational initiation known as repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation to produce toxic dipeptide repeat proteins that contribute to neurodegeneration. Here, we find that the efficiency of RAN translation and its dependency on the 5' 7-methylguanosine mRNA cap are variable across cell types, with both rodent neurons and human iNeurons favoring cap-independent RAN translation from two distinct repeats (CGG and GGGGCC) across multiple reading frames. Treatment with an eIF4E inhibitor that blocks global cap-dependent translation enhances RAN translation specifically in neurons. Intriguingly, cap-independent RAN translation exhibits less reliance on near-cognate codons for initiation than cap-dependent RAN translation. This finding led us to identify a surprising global increase in start codon stringency in neurons as a contributor to the relatively higher cap-independent RAN translation in this cell type. This effect correlates with a cytoplasmic redistribution of eIF1 in neurons and is reversed with neuronal overexpression of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF5, which relaxes start codon stringency and selectively enhances cap-dependent RAN translation. Taken together, these findings reveal several neuron-specific features of translational regulation that favor cap-independent RAN translation with implications for nucleotide repeat expansion disorder pathogenesis and neuronal translational regulation.\n\nID: 42473756\nTitle: TWO DIPEPTIDE REPEAT PROTEINS ARE PRODUCED FROM MAMMALIAN TELOMERIC RNA PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT TO BE a LONG NON-CODING RNA.\nAbstract: Studies of neurological diseases caused by the expansion of nucleotide repeats led to the discovery that RNA can undergo translation by ribosomes in the absence of canonical AUG start signals, a process termed repeat-associated non-ATG translation (RAN). This discovery suggested that RNA transcribed from mammalian telomeres, termed TERRA, could generate RAN products. Indeed, two dipeptide repeat proteins can be produced: repeating arginine-valine (VR) and repeating glycine-leucine (GL). Both VR and GL form amyloid aggregates, and VR was observed to be expressed in cells with elevated TERRA, including a human osteosarcoma line. VR undergoes a change in aggregation state during mitosis, where it becomes dispersed, binds ribosomes, and can depress translation, possibly playing a regulatory role in the cell cycle. The discovery that RAN translation can occur on telomeric RNAs has opened new connections between telomeres, ageing, and the generation of RAN proteins with important biological activities.\n\nID: 42353250\nTitle: Microglial Dysfunction Induced by C9ORF72 Dipeptide Repeat Proteins: Biomarker and Therapeutic Perspectives.\nAbstract: The GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) in C9ORF72 was recognized as the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of the expanded repeat generated dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), which disrupted multiple cellular processes and contributed to neurodegeneration. Emerging evidence indicated that disease pathogenesis involved both gain-of-function (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) mechanisms. DPR-mediated GOF toxicity induced ribosomal dysfunction, nucleolar stress, proteostatic impairment, and neuronal injury, whereas C9ORF72 LOF disrupted lysosomal and autophagic pathways in microglia, impairing the immune homeostasis. Neuronal injury further promoted the release of damage-associated signals that triggered secondary microglial activations and chronic neuroinflammations. This review summarized current knowledge of DPR biology, microglial dysfunction, and their contributions to disease progression in C9ORF72-associated ALS/FTD. Therapeutic strategies targeting repeated RNA, DPR productions, proteostasis, autophagy, and neuroinflammatory pathways were also discussed. In addition, the potentials of fluid biomarkers, including cerebrospinal fluid poly (GP) and blood neurofilament light chain (NfL), for diagnosis, disease monitoring, and therapeutic assessment were shown. Together, these findings provided important insights into disease mechanisms and potential avenues for improved clinical management.\n\nID: 42182325\nTitle: C9orf72 -associated G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expression in Drosophila mushroom bodies causes age dependent TDP-43 pathology and dementia relevant phenotypes mediated in part by the glypican Dlp/GPC6.\nAbstract: Hexanucleotide repeat expansions (HREs) in C9orf72 are the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), yet the age-, sex-, repeat-length-, and circuit-specific influence on the pathology of neurons remains incompletely understood. Here, we established a Drosophila model of C9orf72 -associated dementia by expressing G4C2 repeats in mushroom body neurons (MBNs), a brain region critical for memory, locomotion, and sleep. Expression of 44X G4C2 repeats ((G4C2) 44X ) led to progressive axonal thinning, age-dependent accumulation of Repeat Associated Non-AUG (RAN) translated GR-GFP dipeptide repeat (DPR) puncta, premature nuclear-to-cytoplasmic mislocalization of endogenous TDP-43, increased caspase, reduced lifespan and a loss of presynaptic active zones. Behaviorally, (G4C2) 44X expression caused locomotor hyperactivity, altered spatial working memory, and fragmentation of sleep architecture in an age- and sex-dependent manner, recapitulating core features of FTD. Surprisingly, the shorter (G4C2) 12X repeat, traditionally considered a control, also produced detectable RAN translation and intermediate phenotypes in aging MBNs, suggesting that length- and tissue-associated factors modulate repeat toxicity. We further identified a repeat-length- and age-dependent reduction of the glypican Dally-like protein (Dlp) in (G4C2) 44X consistent with disrupted Wnt-related signaling linked to TDP-43 proteinopathies. Restoring Dlp expression in MBNs mitigated locomotor and working-memory alterations, and loss of presynaptic active zones. In contrast, axonal degeneration, TDP-43 mislocalization, and lifespan were not significantly improved by restoring Dlp, suggesting that multiple mechanisms contribute to G4C2-induced toxicity. Supporting our findings in Drosophila MBNs, a CRISPRi screen in TDP-43 knock-down iNeurons identified GPC6, a human ortholog of Dlp, as a significant contributor to TDP-43 dependent synaptic loss. Together, our findings reveal an aging-sensitive, circuit-specific model of C9orf72 -associated neurodegeneration and highlight roles for DPR accumulation and Dlp/GPC6 dependent synaptic loss in FTD pathomechanisms.\n\nID: 42087256\nTitle: Targeting the integrated stress response or Ataxin-2 alleviates neurodegeneration in PolyGR models of C9orf72 associated frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are fatal, early-onset neurodegenerative diseases. The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS.\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.

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  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42524014 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42598102 for the quote: \"Since this exhausted repair module cannot be readily reconstituted by conventional pharmacological or genetic approaches, we engineer biomimetic stress granules (BSGs)... to achieve sequential targeting and cytosolic delivery to damaged lysosomes.\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Here we identify a time-dependent exhaustion of stress granule (SG)-associated lysosomal repair during sustained infection: progressive depletion of core SG components, including G3BP1 and galectin-3 (Gal-3), undermines lysosomal membrane resealing, resulting in lysosomal deacidification and persistent cytosolic acidification. This pH imbalance suppresses glycolytic metabolism and blunts macrophage pro-inflammatory antibacterial programs, thereby enabling intracellular bacterial persistence. Since this exhausted repair module cannot be readily reconstituted by conventional pharmacological or genetic approaches, we engineer biomimetic stress granules (BSGs), Gal-3-functionalized nanodiscs cloaked in acid-responsive fusogen-expressing macrophage membrane vesicles (Gal3-NDs@EF-MNVs), to achieve sequential targeting and cytosolic delivery to damaged lysosomes. BSGs stabilize membrane lesions, suppress lysosomal leakage and restore lysosomal acidification, pH homeostasis and metabolic fitness, thereby recapitulating the 'plugging' behavior of native stress granules at sites of membrane injury. This work establishes biomimetic organelle repair as a general, materials-driven paradigm to restore innate immunity against intracellular infections - without escalating antibiotics or genetic manipulation.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42598102 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42353250 for the quote: \"Emerging evidence indicated that disease pathogenesis involved both gain-of-function (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) mechanisms.

Repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of the expanded repeat generated dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), which disrupted multiple cellular processes and contributed to neurodegeneration. Emerging evidence indicated that disease pathogenesis involved both gain-of-function (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) mechanisms. DPR-mediated GOF toxicity induced ribosomal dysfunction, nucleolar stress, proteostatic impairment, and neuronal injury, whereas C9ORF72 LOF disrupted lysosomal and autophagic pathways in microglia, impairing the immune homeostasis. Neuronal injury further promoted the release of damage-associated signals that triggered secondary microglial activations and chronic neuroinflammations. This review summarized current knowledge of DPR biology, microglial dysfunction, and their contributions to disease progression in C9ORF72-associated ALS/FTD. Therapeutic strategies targeting repeated RNA, DPR productions, proteostasis, autophagy, and neuroinflammatory pathways were also discussed. In addition, the potentials of fluid biomarkers, including cerebrospinal fluid poly (GP) and blood neurofilament light chain (NfL), for diagnosis, disease monitoring, and therapeutic assessment were shown. Together, these findings provided important insights into disease mechanisms and potential avenues for improved clinical management.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42353250 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies.\" (Source: 42588134)\n- \"Here, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA.

While literature supports the individual components of the hypothesis\u2014such as the role of spermidine in autophagy, the mechanism of RAN translation, progranulin's lysosomal functions, and the identification of p38-Lamin B1-dependent karyoptosis\u2014there is no provided evidence for the specific efficacy of \"Spermidine-modified Ginseng Extracellular Vesicles\" or the direct interaction between MARK2-eIF2\u03b1-driven RAN translation and the specific clogging of FG-nucleoporins.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe hypothesis proposes a multi-modal therapeutic strategy for C9orf72-associated neurodegeneration, utilizing intranasal delivery to bypass the blood-brain barrier. The claim suggests that modulating the Integrated Stress Response (ISR) and enhancing lysosomal clearance pathways will prevent the formation of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) and subsequent karyoptotic cell death. Scientific evidence identifies these pathways as valid targets, though the synthesis of a single therapeutic modality targeting all these nodes simultaneously lacks direct corroboration in the current literature.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nNeurodegenerative pathology in C9orf72-ALS/FTD is driven by RAN translation of GGGGCC repeats into toxic DPRs, which disrupt cellular homeostasis and initiate cell death. Evidence indicates that \"Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies.\" This modulation of autophagy is critical because \"Cellular interactions involve internalization of amyloid precursors, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, reactive oxygen species production, and proteotoxicity, particularly in cardiomyocytes and mesangial cells.\" The hypothesis focuses on DPR toxicity, where \"Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline.\" To arrest this progression, one must address the specific cell death mechanism: \"Here we show that karyoptosis, a distinct form of cell death, can be induced by proteotoxic stress and then develops through nuclear degeneration and cellular expulsion of nuclear material.\" Furthermore, \"We establish that karyoptosis is regulated by the p38 kinase signalling pathway, which controls stability of the nuclear lamina protein LaminB1 via direct phosphorylation.\" Targeting the RNA component is also supported: \"Here, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA. During this process, the RNA exosome engages the translating ribosome-C9-HRE mRNA complex to mediate RAN translation-coupled mRNA decay.\" Finally, the utility of intranasal delivery for these complex therapies is substantiated: \"Intranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Karyoptosis represents a distinct cell death pathway driven by p38 kinase-mediated instability of Lamin B1.\n*   The RNA exosome, specifically EXOSC3, functions co-translationally to mitigate RAN translation-associated toxicity.\n*   Neurons exhibit increased start codon stringency, which paradoxically favors cap-independent RAN translation.\n*   Poly(GR) serves as a potent activator of the Integrated Stress Response, linking DPR accumulation to translation suppression.\n*   TMEM106B is identified as a critical modifier of TDP-43-associated neuropathology.\n*   Progranulin (PGRN) is non-redundantly involved in neuroinflammation and lysosomal repair.\n*   ISR inhibition via ISRIB can rescue synaptic and motor phenotypes in C9orf72 models.\n*   Intranasal delivery of extracellular vesicles (EVs) enables functional mRNA cargo delivery into the brain.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI).

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.

Proteolytically generated C-terminal fragments of TMEM106B assemble into amyloid fibrils that accumulate in the brains of individuals with neurodegenerative disease and in cognitively normal aged adults, yet how these fibrils produce neuronal dysfunction has remained unclear. Here, we show that cytosolic and lysosome-directed TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTF and gCTF) form detergent-insoluble amyloid aggregates, drive redistribution of endogenous TDP-43 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and accelerate neuronal death. Unbiased proximity proteomics identified the inner nuclear membrane LAP1-TorsinA axis as a fragment-specific interactome, and co-immunoprecipitation confirmed a direct physical interaction between gCTF and LAP1 that was not observed with full-length TMEM106B. Fragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons. Critically, neurons harboring endogenous TMEM106B fibrillar pathology in aged human frontal cortex exhibited the same phenotypes, namely disrupted Lamin B1 and LAP1 localization and cytoplasmic redistribution of TDP-43, whereas fibril-negative neurons from the same cases and younger control tissue retained intact nuclear envelope organization. These findings define TMEM106B proteinopathy as an upstream driver of nuclear envelope disruption and nucleocytoplasmic transport failure, linking a widespread feature of brain aging to a central mechanism of neurodegeneration."

A protein-coding TMEM106B risk variant (p.T185) drives fibril core accumulation by impairing its degradation and GRN risk variants amplify this effect. Mice over-expressing the fibril core develop hallmarks of neurodegeneration, and cryo-electron tomography reveals intra-lysosomal fibrils in cultured neurons, mice, and diseased human brain. In GRN-mutation carriers, in whom fibril burden is greatest, fibrils extrude through ruptured lysosomal membranes.

Recent studies suggest that treatment with mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles offers a promising cell-free strategy for mitigating neurodegeneration. In the present study, we investigated the effects of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles on dopaminergic neurons in a murine Parkinson's disease model and explored the underlying mechanisms related to mitochondrial impairment. A Parkinson's disease mouse model was established using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5- tetrahydropyridine-induced neurotoxicity, followed by the intranasal administration of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles and comprehensive behavioral and pathological assessments. To elucidate the mechanistic basis of any effects, we examined mitochondrial function and Homer protein homolog 3 (Homer3) expression in brain tissue. Mice with Homer3 knockdown were used to validate the role of Homer3 in the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicle administration significantly reduced motor dysfunction in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-induced Parkinson's disease mice by protecting dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles increased both mitochondrial number and function through Homer3 upregulation in Parkinson's disease mice. The therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles in rescuing dopaminergic neurons were impaired by Homer3 knockdown. Collectively, these findings suggest that, at least in part, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles ameliorate dopaminergic neuron damage via the Homer3-mediated restoration of mitochondrial function in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Our results highlight the neuroprotective role of mesenchymal stem cell- derived small extracellular vesicles in Parkinson's disease and provide new perspectives on their therapeutic potential."

However, so far little is known about physiological functions of TMEM106B in the endolysosome and how TMEM106B is involved in a wide range of human conditions at molecular levels. Here, we performed lipidomic analysis of the brain of TMEM106B-deficient mice. We found that TMEM106B deficiency significantly decreases levels of two major classes of myelin lipids, galactosylceramide and its sulfated derivative sulfatide. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that TMEM106B physically interacts with galactosylceramidase. We also found that galactosylceramidase activity was significantly increased in TMEM106B-deficient brains.

However, some tau tracers exhibit off-target binding in the basal ganglia, choroid plexus, and meninges. Recently, transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) was identified to form novel amyloid filaments in the brain during aging. In this study, we explored the possibility that TMEM106B aggregates might be responsible for off-target binding of tau PET tracers in the choroid plexus. The binding properties of 18F-labeled tau and amyloid tracers against choroid plexus tissues from postmortem human brains were evaluated through in vitro autoradiography and in vitro binding assays and compared with histochemical staining. Autoradiography showed strong binding of [18F]PM-PBB3 followed by [18F]flortaucipir in the choroid plexus. Immunostaining of the same sections revealed a high level of transmembrane protein 106B aggregates, which are thioflavin-S-labeled Biondi ring structures, in the choroid plexus epithelium and co-localization with PM-PBB3-stained structures. In contrast, co-localization of flortaucipir with TMEM106B immunoreactivity was not confirmed because flortaucipir had a low fluorescence intensity. In vitro binding assays for [18F]PM-PBB3 and [18F]flortaucipir demonstrated high affinities for collagenase A-treated choroid plexus homogenate containing transmembrane protein 106B aggregates. This study demonstrated high affinity of [18F]PM-PBB3 for TMEM106B aggregates in the choroid plexus.

Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders."

A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease."

TMEM106B variants that increase TMEM106B expression levels are linked to several neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Additionally, the C-terminal lumenal fragment of TMEM106B was recently shown to form amyloid fibrils during aging and neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms regulating TMEM106B levels are not well understood. Here we show that TMEM106B is myristoylated by NMT1/2 enzymes at its glycine 2 \u03b1-amino group and its lysine 3 \u03b5-amino group. Myristoylation decreases TMEM106B levels by promoting its lysosomal degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTFs) can be detected under physiological conditions, and the levels of CTFs are regulated by myristoylation and lysosomal activities. In addition, we show that non-myristoylated TMEM106B accumulates on the cell surface, indicating that myristoylation affects TMEM106B trafficking within the cell. Taken together, these findings suggest that TMEM106B myristoylation is an important mechanism regulating its function, trafficking, and turnover."

However, conventional aerosolization methods (e.g., ultrasonic or high-pressure nebulizers) deteriorate non-viral mRNA vectors through excessive shear forces, causing mRNAs to lose their structural integrity and biological activities. A Rayleigh breakup nasal atomizer was used to gently aerosolize polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mRNA vectors into uniform droplets. Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)-encoding mRNA was formulated into cationic polyplexes and characterized pre- and post-aerosolization. The Rayleigh breakup process forms a continuous micro-jet of droplets with minimal shear, thereby preserving the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. Consistent particle size, low polydispersity index, and stable zeta potential before and after aerosolization were observed, confirming that the physicochemical properties of mRNA polyplexes were well preserved via Rayleigh breakup for aerosolization. Using an Alberta Idealized Nasal Inlet (AINI) model of the nasal airway, the PEI-mRNA aerosols were delivered. The aerosolized mRNAs were primarily deposited in the turbinate regions. Negligible fractions were found in the nasopharynx or lung-equivalent sections. In addition, the post-aerosolized mRNA polyplexes were successfully delivered to A549 human lung epithelial cells and produced detectable GFP expression. This protocol demonstrates a non-destructive intranasal mRNA delivery method using Rayleigh breakup aerosolization. It effectively maintains the physicochemical properties and biological functions of non-viral mRNA vectors, atomizing the aqueous phase into droplets of appropriate sizes for targeted nasal deposition. This protocol reveals a novel approach for effectively aerosolizing mRNAs and evaluating their regional deposition in the nasal cavity."

Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization. This integrated strategy combining natural EVs, targeted modification and active drug loading provides a promising platform for the treatment of RA and other inflammatory diseases."

Panax notoginseng, a traditional medicinal herb, exhibits well-documented cardioprotective properties; however, the therapeutic application of its bioactive constituents is constrained by poor bioavailability and potential toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as natural nanocarriers facilitating cross-kingdom delivery of bioactive metabolites. In this study, we investigated whether P. notoginseng-derived EVs (PEVs) could mitigate Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and explored the underlying mechanisms. PEVs were isolated from P. notoginseng rhizomes and systematically characterized, with metabolite profiling performed by UPLC-MS. Cellular uptake, biodistribution, and cardioprotective effects were evaluated in Dox-injured cardiomyocytes and a chronic mouse model of DIC. Mechanistic insights were obtained using transcriptomic analysis, molecular docking, and biochemical assays. PEVs were stable nanosized vesicles enriched with characteristic P. notoginseng metabolites, including triterpenoid saponins and dencichine. PEVs were efficiently internalized by cardiomyocytes and preferentially accumulated in injured myocardium. Functionally, PEVs attenuated Dox-induced inflammation, apoptosis, myocardial atrophy, fibrosis, and cardiac dysfunction, with efficacy comparable to dexrazoxane. Mechanistically, transcriptomic and molecular analysis identified p53 as a central regulatory target. PEVs-derived metabolites targeted the p53 DNA-binding domain, suppressing p53 phosphorylation and transcriptional activation of pro-apoptotic and inflammatory genes. Notably, p53 activation attenuated PEVs-mediated protection, whereas p53 inhibition or silencing abolished additional protective effects, indicating a p53-dependent mechanism. PEVs protect against DIC by delivering bioactive metabolites to injured myocardium and inhibiting p53-driven oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic pathways, highlighting their potential as a phytomedicine-based cardioprotective strategy."

While evidence from human studies suggests that the risk allele is associated with higher levels of TMEM106B, the contribution of elevated levels of TMEM106B to neurodegeneration and aging has not been assessed and it remains unclear how TMEM106B modulates disease risk. To study the effect of increased TMEM106B levels, we generated Cre-inducible transgenic mice expressing human wild-type TMEM106B. We evaluated lysosomal and neuronal health using in vitro and in vivo assays including transmission electron microscopy, immunostainings, behavioral testing, electrophysiology, and bulk RNA sequencing. We created the first transgenic mouse model that successfully overexpresses TMEM106B, with a 4- to 8-fold increase in TMEM106B protein levels in heterozygous (hTMEM106B(+)) and homozygous (hTMEM106B(++)) animals, respectively. We showed that the increase in TMEM106B protein levels induced lysosomal dysfunction and age-related downregulation of genes associated with neuronal plasticity, learning, and memory. Increased TMEM106B levels led to altered synaptic signaling in 12-month-old animals which further exhibited an anxiety-like phenotype. Finally, we observed mild neuronal loss in the hippocampus of 21-month-old animals. Characterization of the first transgenic mouse model that overexpresses TMEM106B suggests that higher levels of TMEM106B negatively impacts brain health by modifying brain aging and impairing the resilience of the brain to the pathomechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders. This novel model will be a valuable tool to study the involvement and contribution of increased TMEM106B levels to aging and will be essential to study the many age-related diseases in which TMEM106B was genetically shown to be a disease- and risk-modifier."

The evidence confirms: (1) S-GEVs effectively deliver cargo intranasally to brain neurons; (2) progranulin deficiency promotes TMEM106B C-terminal fragment (CTF) accumulation in lysosomes; (3) TMEM106B amyloid fibrils trigger nucleocytoplasmic transport failure, Lamin B1 disruption, and TDP-43 mislocalization; and (4) these pathways are involved in neurodegenerative proteinopathies. However, the provided literature contains no mention of \"MARK2-eIF2\u03b1-driven RAN translation,\" \"dipeptide repeat clogging of FG-nucleoporins,\" or \"p38-Lamin B1-dependent Karyoptosis.\" Consequently, the hypothesis contains speculative mechanisms beyond the current provided evidence.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific synthesis: Intranasal delivery of engineered extracellular vesicles provides a viable pathway for neuroprotective gene therapy.

Given that a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia often results from interplay between multiple underlying neuropathologic co-morbidities, previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of clinically diagnosed AD are restricted in their ability to translate genetic associations to potential targeted therapeutics. The current study seeks to address these limitations by presenting the largest GWAS to date (n\u2009=\u200912,509) of neuropathologic hallmarks of AD and AD related dementias (ADRDs). We further performed a candidate-variant analysis using loci previously identified in GWAS of clinically diagnosed AD dementia and Parkinson's disease (PD). Finally, we conducted heritability and genetic correlation analyses using linkage disequilibrium (LD) score regression. We found broad genome-wide significant associations with APOE across AD and ADRDs but not cerebrovascular disease and vascular brain injury. We further identified 12 significant loci across 10 neuropathologic phenotypes, including 5 loci previously implicated in GWAS of clinical AD and ADRDs (variants on BIN1, PICALM/ EED, TMEM106B, GRN, and SNCA/ SNCA-AS1) and 7 novel genome-wide associations (variants on EPHA5, PSMG1, LINC00276, VAPA, LINC00290, DOCK4 and SLAIN2/ SLC10A4). Our analysis of AD and PD clinical candidate variants demonstrated several that were associated with AD neuropathologic change and Lewy body disease, as well as substantial overlap with neuropathologic lesions other than the primary neuropathologic hallmarks of these diseases. Heritability analyses demonstrated heritability that was high for amyloid plaques (78%) relative to prior clinical AD heritability analyses, intermediate for TDP-43 inclusions (41%), and low for remaining AD and ADRD pathologic features. This study underscores the importance of investigating the underlying neuropathologic hallmarks of AD and ADRDs as a step toward refining the translation of genetic associations to biomarker interpretation and development of targeted therapeutics.\n\nID: 42322649\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles promote mitochondrial repair of dopaminergic neurons via Homer protein homolog 3 in Parkinson's disease.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease is a major neurodegenerative disorder, and mitochondrial dysfunction has been increasingly recognized as a key contributor to its pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest that treatment with mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles offers a promising cell-free strategy for mitigating neurodegeneration. In the present study, we investigated the effects of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles on dopaminergic neurons in a murine Parkinson's disease model and explored the underlying mechanisms related to mitochondrial impairment. A Parkinson's disease mouse model was established using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5- tetrahydropyridine-induced neurotoxicity, followed by the intranasal administration of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles and comprehensive behavioral and pathological assessments. To elucidate the mechanistic basis of any effects, we examined mitochondrial function and Homer protein homolog 3 (Homer3) expression in brain tissue. Mice with Homer3 knockdown were used to validate the role of Homer3 in the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicle administration significantly reduced motor dysfunction in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-induced Parkinson's disease mice by protecting dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles increased both mitochondrial number and function through Homer3 upregulation in Parkinson's disease mice. The therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles in rescuing dopaminergic neurons were impaired by Homer3 knockdown. Collectively, these findings suggest that, at least in part, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles ameliorate dopaminergic neuron damage via the Homer3-mediated restoration of mitochondrial function in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Our results highlight the neuroprotective role of mesenchymal stem cell- derived small extracellular vesicles in Parkinson's disease and provide new perspectives on their therapeutic potential.\n\nID: 42275483\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles Enables RNA Cargo Entry Into the Brain.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by bacteria are potent mediators of host-microbe interactions. They modulate immune responses, deliver functional molecules and influence disease progression. However, whether bacterial EVs can access the brain and functionally affect host cells remains unclear. In this study, we engineered Escherichia coli-derived EVs by electroporating Cre recombinase mRNA (Ec EVCre) and assessed their transport and functional delivery following intranasal administration. Using mT/mG reporter mice, we observed EV uptake in the olfactory epithelium and recombination-driven GFP expression in a subset of neurons in the olfactory bulb, providing proof-of-concept for the functional delivery of bacterial EV-associated mRNA into the brain. Single-cell RNA sequencing and imaging analyses of the olfactory regions revealed neuronal and immune cell subsets as key EV targets. Microfluidic biochip chamber assays with cultured sensory neurons demonstrated that EVs undergo retrograde axonal transport from neurite terminals to the soma via signalling endosomes. Pharmacological inhibition significantly impaired EV uptake, supporting the involvement of endocytic pathways. In addition to neuronal entry, we discovered that phagocytic cells, including neutrophils and macrophages, can engulf EVCre in the nasal mucosa and migrate into the brain, providing an alternative immune-mediated route for vesicle delivery. Together, these findings indicate that bacterial EVs exploit both neuronal and phagocytic pathways to deliver functional RNA cargo into the brain, providing novel insights into microbial access to the central nervous system and its implications for neuroimmune interactions.\n\nID: 42094412\nTitle: TMEM106B C-terminal fragments drive nucleocytoplasmic transport failure and TDP-43 mislocalization in the aging human brain.\nAbstract: TMEM106B is a lysosomal membrane protein and major genetic modifier of multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Proteolytically generated C-terminal fragments of TMEM106B assemble into amyloid fibrils that accumulate in the brains of individuals with neurodegenerative disease and in cognitively normal aged adults, yet how these fibrils produce neuronal dysfunction has remained unclear. Here, we show that cytosolic and lysosome-directed TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTF and gCTF) form detergent-insoluble amyloid aggregates, drive redistribution of endogenous TDP-43 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and accelerate neuronal death. Unbiased proximity proteomics identified the inner nuclear membrane LAP1-TorsinA axis as a fragment-specific interactome, and co-immunoprecipitation confirmed a direct physical interaction between gCTF and LAP1 that was not observed with full-length TMEM106B. Fragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons. Critically, neurons harboring endogenous TMEM106B fibrillar pathology in aged human frontal cortex exhibited the same phenotypes, namely disrupted Lamin B1 and LAP1 localization and cytoplasmic redistribution of TDP-43, whereas fibril-negative neurons from the same cases and younger control tissue retained intact nuclear envelope organization. These findings define TMEM106B proteinopathy as an upstream driver of nuclear envelope disruption and nucleocytoplasmic transport failure, linking a widespread feature of brain aging to a central mechanism of neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 41943532\nTitle: Associations between TMEM106B C-terminal fragment aggregation, age, and TDP-43 or tau pathology.\nAbstract: Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) is a lysosomal glycoprotein whose genetic polymorphisms contribute to the severity of neurodegenerative disorders associated with TDP-43 pathology. Recent studies have revealed that TMEM106B can form amyloid filaments composed of C-terminal fragments (CTFs) in the human brain. In the present study, we explored the relationships between TMEM106B, age, TDP-43, and tau aggregates, and their roles in neurodegeneration. We used immunohistochemistry with an antibody against CTFs of TMEM106B on postmortem human brain fragments (amygdala, hippocampus, temporal cortex, frontal cortex, and basal ganglia) from patients with and without TDP-43/tau pathology at different ages (6-94\u2009years) and with different neurological conditions (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and neurologically healthy subjects). Our results revealed that TMEM106B CTF fibrillization is a common, nonspecific, diffuse, and age-dependent phenomenon (appearing after >52\u2009years of age) that affects neurons and neuroglia (most numerous in astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) and broad neuroanatomical regions (most severe in the temporal cortex). We did not find TMEM106B CTF aggregates in young subjects with TDP-43/tau pathology (with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis), but we revealed differences in TMEM106B CTF fibrillization between Alzheimer's disease without TDP-43 pathology, frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology, and older healthy subjects without TDP-43/tau pathology. Our results suggest that TMEM106B CTF aggregation is an age-dependent phenomenon and may have a weak association with TDP-43 or tau pathology, shedding new light on the complex relationships among TMEM106B, TDP-43, and tau and the unclear role of TMEM106B fibril formation in the neurodegeneration process.\n\nID: 41929021\nTitle: Granulin loss and TMEM106B risk converge on lysosomal C-terminal fragment pathology in frontotemporal dementia.\nAbstract: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer disease. Mutations in GRN, which encodes progranulin, are a major cause of FTD. Common genetic variants in the TMEM106B gene modify risk of FTD and the effect is especially strong in GRN mutation carriers. Intriguingly, in GRN mutation carriers, being homozygous for the protective TMEM106B haplotype seems to confer near lifetime protection against FTD. Despite the strong genetic link between GRN and TMEM106B, how these two genes interact mechanistically has remained unresolved. Recent studies have revealed that a C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B forms amyloid fibrils and accumulates in the brains of older individuals and patients with neurodegenerative disorders, including FTD. How the production of this fragment connects to granulin deficiency is also unknown. Using lysosome immunoprecipitation, we show that granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes in Grn-knockout mice and GRN-null human iPSC-derived neurons. Recombinant progranulin supplementation reduced TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation. Isogenic neurons carrying the TMEM106B risk allele displayed allele-dose-dependent fragment accumulation that was reversible by progranulin. Structural and genetic analyses demonstrated that TMEM106B dimerization stabilizes the protein and limits C-terminal fragment formation. These findings define a lysosomal pathway linking granulin deficiency to TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation and explain how protective TMEM106B alleles can confer resistance to FTD, even for GRN mutation carriers.\n\nID: 41929000\nTitle: Neurodegeneration risk variants promote lysosomal TMEM106B fibril accumulation.\nAbstract: Variants in TMEM106B and GRN, which encode lysosomal proteins, interact through unknown mechanisms to increase the risk of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Here, we show that these variants converge on a single molecular intermediate: the cleaved intra-lysosomal fibril core of TMEM106B, a precursor to amyloid fibrils that accumulate in the aging brain. A protein-coding TMEM106B risk variant (p.T185) drives fibril core accumulation by impairing its degradation and GRN risk variants amplify this effect. Mice over-expressing the fibril core develop hallmarks of neurodegeneration, and cryo-electron tomography reveals intra-lysosomal fibrils in cultured neurons, mice, and diseased human brain. In GRN-mutation carriers, in whom fibril burden is greatest, fibrils extrude through ruptured lysosomal membranes. These findings identify intra-lysosomal TMEM106B fibrillization as a convergent neurodegeneration mechanism and potential therapeutic target.\n\nID: 41646826\nTitle: Genome wide association study meta-analysis of neuropathologic lesions of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in a multi-site autopsy cohort.\nAbstract: Understanding the genetic foundations of dementia is critical to unraveling its complex molecular basis. Given that a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia often results from interplay between multiple underlying neuropathologic co-morbidities, previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of clinically diagnosed AD are restricted in their ability to translate genetic associations to potential targeted therapeutics. The current study seeks to address these limitations by presenting the largest GWAS to date (n=12,509) of neuropathologic hallmarks of AD and AD related dementias (ADRDs). We further performed a candidate-variant analysis using loci previously identified in GWAS of clinically diagnosed AD dementia and Parkinson's disease (PD). Finally, we conducted heritability and genetic correlation analyses using linkage disequilibrium (LD) score regression.

We further identified 12 significant loci across 10 neuropathologic phenotypes, including 5 loci previously implicated in GWAS of clinical AD and ADRDs (variants on BIN1, PICALM / EED, TMEM106B, GRN, and SNCA / SNCA-AS1 ) and 7 novel genome-wide associations (variants on EPHA5, PSMG1, LINC00276, VAPA, LINC00290, DOCK4 and SLAIN2 / SLC10A4 ). Our analysis of AD and PD clinical candidate variants demonstrated several that were associated with AD neuropathologic change and Lewy body disease, as well as substantial overlap with neuropathologic lesions other than the primary neuropathologic hallmarks of these diseases. Heritability analyses demonstrated heritability that was high for amyloid plaques (78%) relative to prior clinical AD heritability analyses, intermediate for TDP-43 inclusions (41%), and low for remaining AD and ADRD pathologic features. This study underscores the importance of investigating the underlying neuropathologic hallmarks of AD and ADRDs as a step toward refining the translation of genetic associations to biomarker interpretation and development of targeted therapeutics. Clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia is commonly associated with its hallmark pathologic changes plus neuropathologic features of prevalent co-morbid diseases such as cerebrovascular disease, Lewy body disease, and more recently discovered abnormalities in protein called TDP-43 (collectively, AD related dementias; ADRD). As a result, previous studies that associated clinical diagnosis of AD with specific genes may not tell us the whole story. For this study, we gathered autopsy and genetic data to identify relationships between genes and dementia-associated brain changes. We found some relationships between these diseases and genes that had been previously identified as contributing to clinical dementia, as well as some new relationships that had been previously unknown. We also found that some genes that had previously been identified in relation to AD were associated with different dementia-associated brain lesions. Finally, we found that the various brain lesions differ in the proportion that can be attributed to genetic vs. environmental differences. These results support that the pathway to a diagnosis of dementia can be caused by multiple factors and are an important step in beginning to identify individually based dementia treatments.\n\nID: 41570984\nTitle: The amyloidogenic C-terminal region of TMEM106B modulates lipid membrane biophysical properties: Functional and pathological insights.\nAbstract: The lysosomal transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) forms amyloid filaments in the human brain in an age-dependent manner, observed both in neurologically healthy individuals and in patients with neurodegenerative diseases also containing tau, \u03b1-synuclein, or TDP-43 inclusions. Despite its pathological and physiological relevance, the biochemical mechanisms governing TMEM106B structural stability and its functional interactions with membranes remain largely unknown. Here, we examined the luminal C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B (called TST, residues 120-254), corresponding to the amyloid fibril core identified by cryo-electron microscopy, to elucidate its functional membrane-binding properties. Using static solid-state 31P and 2H NMR in combination with magic-angle spinning 13C NMR, we characterized TMEM106B(120-254) interaction with multilamellar vesicles of varying lipid composition that mimic lysosomal membranes. TST binds peripherally to lipid bilayers and remodels their fluidity and elasticity in a composition-dependent manner. 31P NMR spectra revealed reduced chemical shift anisotropy and increased asymmetry, accompanied by an isotropic component indicative of enhanced headgroup motion and local curvature. Complementary 2H NMR spectra of POPC-d31 showed decreased quadrupolar splittings and order parameters, demonstrating reduced acyl chain order upon TST binding. These effects were most pronounced in membranes containing anionic lipids and lacking cholesterol, suggesting that electrostatic interactions and lipid motion modulate the balance between random coil mobile TMEM106B and membrane-immobilized \u03b2-rich TMEM106B at the bilayer surface. Together, these findings identify TST as a surface-active remodeler that perturbs membrane structure without deep insertion, providing new insights into the membrane coupling mechanisms of TMEM106B and their potential implications for lysosomal physiology and amyloid formation.\n\nID: 41315858\nTitle: Microglial phagocytosis in Alzheimer disease.\nAbstract: Accumulating evidence indicates that Alzheimer disease (AD) is caused by dysregulated microglial phagocytosis. The main risk factor for AD is age, and ageing reduces microglial phagocytosis of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques, while increasing microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons. Most of the known genetic risk for AD can be linked to microglial phagocytosis, including ABCA1, ABI3, ACE, ADAM17, APOE, APP, BIN1, BLNK, CD2AP, CD33, CLU, CR1, CTSB, CTSH, EED, GRN, INPP5D, LILRB2, PICALM, PLCG2, PSEN1, PTK2B, SIGLEC11, SORL1, SPI1, TMEM106B and TREM2. Moreover, the only disease-modifying treatments for AD - anti-A\u03b2 antibodies - work by increasing microglial phagocytosis of A\u03b2 aggregates. Microglial phagocytosis of A\u03b2 via TREM2, LRP1, CD33, TAM receptors and anti-A\u03b2 antibodies appears to reduce AD pathology by pruning and compacting plaques, restricting subsequent tau pathology, whereas microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons seems detrimental in the later stages of AD, via complement, P2Y6\u00a0receptor and TREM2. However, the roles of microglial phagocytosis in AD are complex and multifaceted, and improved treatments are likely to require a deeper understanding of these roles.\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: 41253210\nTitle: The lysosome and proteostatic stress at the intersection of pediatric neurological disorders and adult neurodegenerative diseases.\nAbstract: In the last two decades, many gene mutations have been identified that when homozygous, lead to childhood neurological disorders, but when heterozygous, result in adult-onset neurodegenerative disease. A shared feature linking these genes? They encode proteins residing in or impacting the function of the lysosome, a key organelle in macromolecular degradation and recycling whose loss leads to the inability to manage proteostatic stress. Here, we propose that lysosomes connect a subset of genetic neurological and neurodegenerative disorders as they occur in two distinct life epochs-development and aging-that endure high levels of proteostatic and other physiological stresses. In this Perspective, we highlight the differing mechanisms of three genes that exemplify this link: glucocerebrosidase A (GBA: Gaucher's disease and Parkinson's disease), progranulin (GRN: neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and frontotemporal dementia), and tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1: tuberous sclerosis complex and frontotemporal dementia). We discuss why neurons seem particularly vulnerable to lysosomal dysfunction and ways in which lysosomes potentially contribute to selective neuronal vulnerability. Finally, as disrupted lysosomal catabolism of macromolecules connects these diseases of the nervous system, we propose that they be jointly conceptualized as \"Lysosomal Clearance Disorders.\"\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: 40963917\nTitle: Extracellular vehicles-mediated Twsit1 transferred from tumor cells to brain induces depressive-like behaviors via neuronal morphogenesis.\nAbstract: Rationale: Depression is commonly comorbid with cancer and affects therapeutic efficacy and outcome-of-disease. However, the molecular mechanism underlying cancer-induced depression (CID) remains poorly understood. Twist1 is a proto-oncogene driving tumor progression and metastasis, and chronic stress induces Twist1 expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). This study aims to investigate the role and mechanisms of tumor-derived Twist1 in CID. Methods: shTwist1 stably expressing 4T1 cells were obtained through lentivirus transduction and puromycin selection. Tumor cells were subcutaneously inoculated into mice to establish a tumor-bearing mice model. Behavioral assays were used to assess depressive-like behaviors in mice. Ultra-high-speed centrifugation was employed to extract extracellular vehicles (EVs) in 4T1 cell medium or serum from tumor-bearing mice. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to detect the levels of Twist1 mRNA and protein from tumor-derived EVs or mPFC tissue. Lentivirus was injected into the mPFC to knock down Twist1. Intravenous or intranasal administration of tumor or serum-derived EVs were used to investigate the role of EVs-packaged Twist1 in depressive-like behaviors in mice. Results: The present study demonstrated that tumor-derived EVs mediated the inter-organ communication between tumor cells and brain. Pharmacological inhibition of EVs secretion mitigated depressive-like behaviors in tumor-bearing mice. Intravenous or intranasal injection of EVs from tumor cells or serum from tumor-bearing mice into na\u00efve mice induced a depressive-like phenotype. Further investigation identified tumor-derived EVs Twsit1 as a crucial mediator of cancer-induced dendritic atrophy and depressive-like behaviors in tumor-bearing mice. Knockdown of Twist1 in tumor cells significantly alleviated the detrimental effects of tumor-derived EVs on neuronal morphogenesis and prevented their pro-depressant effects. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that tumor-derived EVs containing Twist1 constitute a key pathological driver of cancer-induced depression, revealing a potential therapeutic target for clinical intervention.\n\nID: 40956029\nTitle: Novel neuropathological observations in an adult with Dravet syndrome.\nAbstract: Dravet syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy associated with pathogenic variants in the SCN1A gene. The neuropathological features of adult DS remain poorly understood. We report the postmortem findings of a 55-year-old woman with DS due to a confirmed SCN1A pathogenic variant leading to Nav1.1 loss of function. Clinically, she developed pharmacoresistant seizures, intellectual disability, progressive ataxia, parkinsonism, and cognitive decline. Neuropathological examination revealed a striking excess and several layers of corpora amylacea (wasteosomes) covering the whole convexity of the brain. In addition, abundant p62-positive gray matter neuritic profiles were found mostly in limbic regions and in the white matter in neocortical regions. Pericellular TMEM106B-positive deposits and prominent immunoreactivity for aquaporin 4 were also observed. There was severe Purkinje cell loss in some lobes of the cerebellum together with variable neuronal loss in the substantia nigra, neocortex, and hippocampus. No \u03b1-synuclein, amyloid-\u03b2, or phospho-TDP-43 pathology was present. Immunostaining for phosphorylated tau revealed neurofibrillary pathology consistent with Braak stage I (left) -II (right). In summary, our study reveals pathological alterations suggestive of chronic glymphatic insufficiency, impaired autophagy, and some degree of neuronal loss without currently known misfolded protein deposits. These findings are suggestive of an accelerated aging and neurodegenerative process in this adult with DS.\n\nID: 40883738\nTitle: Engineered MSC-EVs loaded with BDNF-enhancing neuropeptides via a non-disruptive method enhance post-stroke neuroregeneration via intranasal delivery.\nAbstract: Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) show potential as neuroregenerative therapies. Incorporating bioactive compounds such as neuropeptides that enhance brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression may amplify their therapeutic potential. We developed a clinical-scale method for loading neuropeptides into MSC-EVs, while preserving their structural integrity and therapeutic functionality. Through scalable 3D bioprocessing, we produced high-purity MSC-EVs and evaluated loading methods for encapsulating neuropeptides and full-length BDNF. EVs were characterized using electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and 3D STORM microscopy. The cellular uptake, distribution, and biological effects of neuropeptide-loaded MSC-EVs were tested in vitro and in vivo. Passive incubation was the optimal loading method for maintaining EV integrity while achieving effective neuropeptide encapsulation. Active loading methods destabilized the EV membrane despite higher encapsulation efficiency. Neuropeptide-loaded MSC-EVs crossed the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and significantly enhanced BDNF expression, neurogenesis, and neuroprotection in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Compared with HEK293-derived extracellular vesicles (HEK-EVs), MSC-EVs demonstrated superior regenerative effects. In a photothrombotic stroke model, intranasal administration of neuropeptide-loaded MSC-EVs reduced infarct size, improved neuronal survival, and activated neuroprotective pathways mediated by Cyclic AMP Response Element-Binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation. We established a clinically scalable approach for producing neuropeptide-loaded MSC-EVs with potential as next-generation, targeted neuroregenerative therapies for treating stroke and other neurological disorders. Importantly, the EVs used in this study were produced under clinically applicable conditions and characterized according to the Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles (MISEV) 2023 guidelines.\n\nID: 40713630\nTitle: The role of endolysosomal progranulin and TMEM106B in neurodegenerative diseases.\nAbstract: Although different neurodegenerative diseases are defined by distinct pathological proteins, they share many common features including protein aggregation. Despite this commonality, most current therapeutic approaches in the field, such as anti-aggregate antibodies, are focused on individual diseases or single neuropathologies with only limited success. The endolysosomal proteins progranulin and TMEM106B were both initially associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration but have subsequently also been linked to other neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, these proteins are predicted to participate in common pathogenic pathways shared across various neurodegenerative diseases. Importantly, recent discoveries of TMEM106B amyloid fibrils in varied neurodegenerative diseases and glycosphingolipid regulation by progranulin and TMEM106B further support their central roles in cross-disease neurodegenerative mechanisms. This review summarizes recent advances in progranulin and TMEM106B function within the endolysosomal system and neurodegenerative diseases. It describes preclinical models and therapeutic approaches for progranulin- and TMEM106B-associated diseases. We also discuss future direction leading to novel alternative therapies targeting shared mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 40451428\nTitle: Myristoylation of TMEM106B by NMT1/2 regulates TMEM106B trafficking and turnover.\nAbstract: TMEM106B, a type II transmembrane protein localized on the lysosomal membrane, has been identified as a central player in neurodegeneration and brain aging during the past decade. TMEM106B variants that increase TMEM106B expression levels are linked to several neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Additionally, the C-terminal lumenal fragment of TMEM106B was recently shown to form amyloid fibrils during aging and neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms regulating TMEM106B levels are not well understood. Here we show that TMEM106B is myristoylated by NMT1/2 enzymes at its glycine 2 \u03b1-amino group and its lysine 3 \u03b5-amino group. Myristoylation decreases TMEM106B levels by promoting its lysosomal degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTFs) can be detected under physiological conditions, and the levels of CTFs are regulated by myristoylation and lysosomal activities. In addition, we show that non-myristoylated TMEM106B accumulates on the cell surface, indicating that myristoylation affects TMEM106B trafficking within the cell. Taken together, these findings suggest that TMEM106B myristoylation is an important mechanism regulating its function, trafficking, and turnover.\n\nID: 40194993\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)-Loaded Small Extracellular Vesicles for Treating Acute Spinal Cord Injury in Rats and Monkeys.\nAbstract: Besides surgical decompression, neuroprotection and neuroinflammation reduction are critical for acute spinal cord injury (SCI). In this study, we prepared small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from immortalised mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and evaluated whether intranasal administration of BDNF-sEVs is a therapeutic option for acute SCI. In cultured neurons, BDNF loading enhanced neurite outgrowth promoted by sEVs. After intranasal administration, mCherry-labelled sEVs were transported to the injured spinal cords of rats and monkeys and mainly taken up by neurons. In acute SCI rats, intranasal administration of sEVs and BDNF-sEVs reduced glial responses and proinflammatory cytokine production, enhanced neuronal survival and angiogenesis in the lesion, promoted injured axon rewiring, delayed lumbar spinal motoneuron atrophy below the lesion, and improved functional performance. The rats receiving BDNF-sEV treatment showed improved neural repair and functional recovery compared to those with sEV treatment. Intranasal administration of BDNF-sEVs, but not of sEVs, increased BDNF levels and phosphorylation of downstream signals in the rat-injured spinal cord samples, indicating activation of the BDNF/TrkB signalling pathway. In acute SCI monkeys, intranasal administration of BDNF-sEVs was further confirmed to inhibit glial reactivities and proinflammatory cytokine release, increasing BDNF levels in the cerebrospinal fluid, enhancing neural network rewiring of injured spinal cords and neuronal activities of the brain, and improving functional performances in behavioural tests and electrophysiological recordings. In conclusion, BDNF-sEVs play a combinatory therapeutic role of sEVs and BDNF, and intranasal administration of BDNF-sEVs is a potential option for the clinical treatment of acute SCI.\n\nID: 40143028\nTitle: Therapeutic Efficacy of Small Extracellular Vesicles Loaded with ROCK Inhibitor in Parkinson's Disease.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a rapidly growing neurological disorder in the developed world, affecting millions over the age of 60. The decline in motor functions occurs due to a progressive loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, resulting in lowered dopamine levels and impaired muscle function. Studies show defective mitochondrial autophagy (or \"mitophagy\") links to PD. Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinases (ROCK) 1 and ROCK2 are serine/threonine kinases, and their inhibition can enhance neuroprotection in PD by promoting mitophagy. Methods: We examine the effects of ROCK inhibitor SR3677, delivered via macrophage-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) to Parkin Q311X(A) PD mouse models. sEVs with SR3677, administered intranasally, increased mitophagy gene expression, reduced inflammatory factors, and elevated dopamine levels in brain tissues. Results: ROCK2 expression decreased, showing the drug's inhibitory effect. sEV-SR3677 treatment was more effective than treatment with the drug alone, although sham EVs showed lower effects. This suggests that EV-SR3677 not only activates mitochondrial processes but also promotes the degradation of damaged mitochondria through autophagy. Mitochondrial functional assays and oxygen consumption in ex vivo glial cultures revealed that sEV-SR3677 significantly improved mitochondrial respiration compared to that in untreated or SR3677-only treated cells. Conclusion: We demonstrated the efficacy of ROCK2 inhibition on mitochondrial function via sEV-SR3677 in the PD mouse model, necessitating further studies to explore design challenges and mechanisms of sEV-SR3677 as mitochondria-targeted therapy for PD.\n\nID: 39872397\nTitle: Tracing TMEM106B fibril deposition in aging and Parkinson's disease with dementia brains.\nAbstract: Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B), previously identified as a risk factor in frontotemporal lobar degeneration, has recently been detected to form fibrillar aggregates in the brains of patients with various neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) and normal elders. While the specifics of when and where TMEM106B fibrils accumulate in human brains, as well as their connection to aging and disease progression, remain poorly understood. Here, we identified an antibody (NBP1-91311) that directly binds to TMEM106B fibrils extracted from the brain in vitro and to Thioflavin S-positive TMEM106B fibrillar aggregates in brain sections. We discovered that TMEM106B fibrils deposit in the human brain in an age-dependent manner. Notably, the TMEM106B fibril load in the brains of Parkinson's disease with dementia patients was significantly higher than in age-matched elders. Additionally, we found that TMEM106B fibrils predominantly accumulate in astrocytes and neurons and do not co-localize with the pathological deposition formed by other amyloid proteins such as \u03b1-synuclein, A\u03b2, and Tau. Our work provides a comprehensive analysis of the burden and cellular distribution of TMEM106B fibrils in human brains, underscoring the impact of both aging and disease conditions on TMEM106B fibril deposition. This highlights the potential significance of TMEM106B fibrils in various age-related NDs.\n\nID: 39709600\nTitle: Physiological shedding and C-terminal proteolytic processing of TMEM106B.\nAbstract: Genetic variants in TMEM106B, coding for a transmembrane protein of unknown function, have been identified as critical genetic modulators in various neurodegenerative diseases with a strong effect in patients with frontotemporal degeneration. The luminal domain of TMEM106B can form amyloid-like fibrils upon proteolysis. Whether this luminal domain is generated under physiological conditions and which protease(s) are involved in shedding remain unclear. We developed a commercially available antibody against the luminal domain of TMEM106B, allowing a detailed survey of the proteolytic processing under physiological conditions in cellular models and TMEM106B-related mouse models. Moreover, fibrillary TMEM106B was detected in human autopsy material. We find that the luminal domain is generated by multiple lysosomal cysteine-type proteases. Cysteine-type proteases perform additional C-terminal trimming, for which experimental evidence has been lacking. The presented results allow an in-depth perception of the processing of TMEM106B, a prerequisite to understanding factors leading to fibril formation.\n\nID: 39659569\nTitle: Intranasal delivery of engineered extracellular vesicles loaded with miR-206-3p antagomir ameliorates Alzheimer's disease phenotypes.\nAbstract: Rationale: The level of miR-206-3p in the plasma and temporal cortex is increased in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. miR-206-3p antagomir injected into hippocampus ameliorates cognitive deficits by enhancing the level of BDNF. However, the trauma caused by brain injection and susceptibility to degradation limit its application. Methods: To overcome these challenges, we constructed engineered extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC-EVs) loaded with miR-206-3p antagomir (MSC-EVs-anta) by electroporation technology, and explored the therapeutic effects of MSC-EVs-anta delivered by intranasal administration on AD mice. Transcriptome sequencing and LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis were employed to disclose the mechanism underlying the attenuation of AD phenotypes by MSC-EVs-anta. Results: MSC-EVs-anta had favorable neuroprotection by promoting neurite outgrowth in vitro. Following intranasal administration, MSC-EVs-anta improved learning and memory deficits, promoted hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, and alleviated A\u03b2 deposition. Compared with MSC-EVs or miR-206-3p antagomir alone, MSC-EVs-anta showed superior therapeutic effects. Mechanistically, MSC-EVs-anta significantly upregulated brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in AD mice, and activated the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway. The data from two-omics analyses demonstrated that the differentially expressed proteins and genes significantly regulated by MSC-EVs-anta were primarily enriched in the pathways involved in neurogenesis and synapse. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the intranasal administration of MSC-EVs-anta as a promising strategy for the treatment of AD.\n\nID: 39647268\nTitle: Transmembrane protein 106B amyloid is a potential off-target molecule of tau PET tracers in the choroid plexus.\nAbstract: Tau positron emission tomography (PET) has become an essential tool for the clinical diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases and the study of tau pathology in the brain. However, some tau tracers exhibit off-target binding in the basal ganglia, choroid plexus, and meninges. Recently, transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) was identified to form novel amyloid filaments in the brain during aging. In this study, we explored the possibility that TMEM106B aggregates might be responsible for off-target binding of tau PET tracers in the choroid plexus. The binding properties of 18F-labeled tau and amyloid tracers against choroid plexus tissues from postmortem human brains were evaluated through in vitro autoradiography and in vitro binding assays and compared with histochemical staining. Autoradiography showed strong binding of [18F]PM-PBB3 followed by [18F]flortaucipir in the choroid plexus. Immunostaining of the same sections revealed a high level of transmembrane protein 106B aggregates, which are thioflavin-S-labeled Biondi ring structures, in the choroid plexus epithelium and co-localization with PM-PBB3-stained structures. In contrast, co-localization of flortaucipir with TMEM106B immunoreactivity was not confirmed because flortaucipir had a low fluorescence intensity. In vitro binding assays for [18F]PM-PBB3 and [18F]flortaucipir demonstrated high affinities for collagenase A-treated choroid plexus homogenate containing transmembrane protein 106B aggregates. This study demonstrated high affinity of [18F]PM-PBB3 for TMEM106B aggregates in the choroid plexus. In vivo off-target binding of [18F]PM-PBB3 to the choroid plexus might result from binding to TMEM106B aggregates.\n\nID: 39503754\nTitle: TMEM106B amyloid filaments in the Biondi bodies of ependymal cells.\nAbstract: Biondi bodies are filamentous amyloid inclusions of unknown composition in ependymal cells of the choroid plexuses, ependymal cells lining cerebral ventricles and ependymal cells of the central canal of the spinal cord. Their formation is age-dependent and they are commonly associated with a variety of neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body disorders. Here, we show that Biondi bodies are strongly immunoreactive with TMEM239, an antibody specific for inclusions of transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B). Biondi bodies were labelled by both this antibody and the amyloid dye pFTAA. Many Biondi bodies were also labelled for TMEM106B and the lysosomal markers Hexosaminidase A and Cathepsin D. By transmission immuno-electron microscopy, Biondi bodies of choroid plexuses were decorated by TMEM239 and were associated with structures that resembled residual bodies or secondary lysosomes. By electron cryo-microscopy, TMEM106B filaments from Biondi bodies of choroid plexuses were similar (Biondi variant), but not identical, to the\u00a0fold I that was\u00a0previously identified in\u00a0filaments from brain parenchyma.\n\nID: 39262221\nTitle: Cognitive resilience to Alzheimer's disease characterized by cell-type abundance.\nAbstract: The molecular basis of cognitive resilience (CR) among pathologically confirmed Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases is not well understood. Abundance of 13 cell types and neuronal subtypes in brain bulk RNA-seq data from the anterior caudate, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) obtained from 434 AD cases, 318 cognitively resilient AD cases, and 188 controls in the Religious Orders Study and Rush Memory and Aging Project was estimated by deconvolution. PVALB+ neuron abundance was negatively associated with cognitive status and tau pathology in the DLPFC and PCC (Padj\u00a0<\u00a00.001) and the most reduced neuronal subtype in AD cases compared to controls in DLPFC (Padj\u00a0=\u00a08.4\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010-7) and PCC (Padj\u00a0=\u00a00.0015). We identified genome-wide significant association of neuron abundance with TMEM106B single nucleotide polymorphism rs13237518 in PCC (p\u00a0=\u00a06.08\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010-12). rs13237518 was also associated with amyloid beta (p\u00a0=\u00a00.0085) and tangles (p\u00a0=\u00a00.0073). High abundance of PVALB+ neurons may be a marker of CR. TMEM106B variants may influence CR independent of AD pathology. Neuron retention and a lack of astrocytosis are highly predictive of Alzheimer's disease (AD) resilience. PVALB+ GABAergic and RORB+ glutamatergic neurons are associated with cognitive status. A TMEM106B single nucleotide polymorphism is related to lower AD risk, higher neuron count, and increased AD pathology.\n\nID: 39237980\nTitle: Neuroprotective effects of intranasal extracellular vesicles from human platelet concentrates supernatants in traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's disease models.\nAbstract: The burgeoning field of regenerative medicine has significantly advanced with recent findings on biotherapies using human platelet lysates (HPLs), derived from clinical-grade platelet concentrates (PCs), for treating brain disorders. These developments have opened new translational research avenues to explore the neuroprotective effects of platelet-extracellular vesicles (PEVs). Their potential in managing neurodegenerative conditions like traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Parkinson's disease (PD) warrants further exploration. We aimed here to characterize the composition of a PEV preparation isolated from platelet concentrate (PC)\u00a0supernatant, and determine its neuroprotective potential and neurorestorative effects in cellular and animal models of TBI and PD. We isolated PEVs from the supernatant of clinical-grade PC collected from healthy blood donors utilizing high-speed centrifugation. PEVs were characterized by biophysical, biochemical, microscopic, and LC-MS/MS proteomics methods to unveil biological functions. Their functionality was assessed in vitro using SH-SY5Y neuronal cells, LUHMES dopaminergic neurons, and BV-2 microglial cells, and in vivo by intranasal administration in a controlled cortical impact (CCI)-TBI model using 8-weeks-old male C57/BL6 mice, and in a PD model induced by MPTP in 5-month-old male C57/BL6 mice. PEVs varied in size from 50 to 350\u00a0nm, predominantly around 200\u00a0nm, with concentrations ranging between 1010 and 1011/mL. They expressed specific platelet membrane markers, exhibited a lipid bilayer by cryo-electron microscopy and, importantly, showed low\u00a0expression of pro-coagulant phosphatidylserine. LC-MS/MS indicated a rich composition of trophic factors, including neurotrophins, anti-inflammatory agents, neurotransmitters, and antioxidants, unveiling their multifaceted biological functions. PEVs aided in the restoration of neuronal functions in SH-SY5Y cells and demonstrated remarkable neuroprotective capabilities against erastin-induced ferroptosis in dopaminergic neurons. In microglial cells, they promoted anti-inflammatory responses, particularly under inflammatory conditions. In vivo, intranasally delivered PEVs showed strong anti-inflammatory effects in a TBI mouse model and conserved tyrosine hydroxylase expression of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra in a PD model, leading to improved motor function. The potential of PEV-based therapies in neuroprotection opens new therapeutic avenues for neurodegenerative disorders. The study advocates for clinical trials to establish the efficacy of PEV-based biotherapies in neuroregenerative medicine.\n\nID: 39237682\nTitle: Lysosomal TMEM106B interacts with galactosylceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism.\nAbstract: TMEM106B is an endolysosomal transmembrane protein not only associated with multiple neurological disorders including frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and hypomyelinating leukodystrophy but also potentially involved in COVID-19. Additionally, recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains. However, so far little is known about physiological functions of TMEM106B in the endolysosome and how TMEM106B is involved in a wide range of human conditions at molecular levels. Here, we performed lipidomic analysis of the brain of TMEM106B-deficient mice. We found that TMEM106B deficiency significantly decreases levels of two major classes of myelin lipids, galactosylceramide and its sulfated derivative sulfatide. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that TMEM106B physically interacts with galactosylceramidase. We also found that galactosylceramidase activity was significantly increased in TMEM106B-deficient brains. Thus, our results suggest that TMEM106B interacts with galactosylceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism and have implications for TMEM106B-associated diseases.\n\nID: 39138552\nTitle: Correction: Cleaved TMEM106B forms amyloid aggregates in central and peripheral nervous systems.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 38886865\nTitle: Cleaved TMEM106B forms amyloid aggregates in central and peripheral nervous systems.\nAbstract: Filaments made of residues 120-254 of transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) form in an age-dependent manner and can be extracted from the brains of neurologically normal individuals and those of subjects with a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. TMEM106B filament formation requires cleavage at residue 120 of the 274 amino acid protein; at present, it is not known if residues 255-274 form the fuzzy coat of TMEM106B filaments. Here we show that a second cleavage appears likely, based on staining with an antibody raised against residues 263-274 of TMEM106B. We also show that besides the brain TMEM106B inclusions form in dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord, where they were mostly found in non-neuronal cells. We confirm that in the brain, inclusions were most abundant in astrocytes. No inclusions were detected in heart, liver, spleen or hilar lymph nodes. Based on their staining with luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes, we confirm that TMEM106B inclusions are amyloids. By in situ immunoelectron microscopy, TMEM106B assemblies were often found in structures resembling endosomes and lysosomes.\n\nID: 38834068\nTitle: Cryo-EM structures of pathogenic fibrils and their impact on neurodegenerative disease research.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases are commonly associated with the formation of aberrant protein aggregates within the brain, and ultrastructural analyses have revealed that the proteins within these inclusions often assemble into amyloid filaments. Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) has emerged as an effective method for determining the near-atomic structure of these disease-associated filamentous proteins, and the resulting structures have revolutionized the way we think about aberrant protein aggregation and propagation during disease progression. These structures have also revealed that individual fibril conformations may dictate different disease conditions, and this newfound knowledge has improved disease modeling in the lab and advanced the ongoing pursuit of clinical tools capable of distinguishing and targeting different pathogenic entities within living patients. In this review, we summarize some of the recently developed cryo-EM structures of ex\u00a0vivo \u03b1-synuclein, tau, \u03b2-amyloid (A\u03b2), TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), and transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) fibrils and discuss how these structures are being leveraged toward mechanistic research and therapeutic development.\n\nID: 38744856\nTitle: A Tau PET tracer PBB3 binds to TMEM106B amyloid fibril in brain.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 38710967\nTitle: Physiological and pathological functions of TMEM106B in neurodegenerative diseases.\nAbstract: As an integral lysosomal transmembrane protein, transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) regulates several aspects of lysosomal function and is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. The TMEM106B gene mutations lead to lysosomal dysfunction and accelerate the pathological progression of Neurodegenerative diseases. Yet, the precise mechanism of TMEM106B in Neurodegenerative diseases remains unclear. Recently, different research teams discovered that TMEM106B is an amyloid protein and the C-terminal domain of TMEM106B forms amyloid fibrils in various Neurodegenerative diseases and normally elderly individuals. In this review, we discussed the physiological functions of TMEM106B. We also included TMEM106B gene mutations that cause neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, we summarized the identification and cryo-electronic microscopic structure of TMEM106B fibrils, and discussed the promising therapeutic strategies aimed at TMEM106B fibrils and the future directions for TMEM106B research in neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 38633784\nTitle: Gene specific effects on brain volume and cognition of TMEM106B in frontotemporal lobar degeneration.\nAbstract: TMEM106B has been proposed as a modifier of disease risk in FTLD-TDP, particularly in GRN mutation carriers. Furthermore, TMEM106B has been investigated as a disease modifier in the context of healthy aging and across multiple neurodegenerative diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the effect of TMEM106B on gray matter volume and cognition in each of the common genetic FTD groups and in sporadic FTD patients. Participants were enrolled through the ARTFL/LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ALLFTD) study, which includes symptomatic and presymptomatic individuals with a pathogenic mutation in C9orf72, GRN, MAPT, VCP, TBK1, TARDBP, symptomatic non-mutation carriers, and non-carrier family controls. All participants were genotyped for the TMEM106B rs1990622 SNP. Cross-sectionally, linear mixed-effects models were fitted to assess an association between TMEM106B and genetic group interaction with each outcome measure (gray matter volume and UDS3-EF for cognition), adjusting for education, age, sex and CDR\u00ae+NACC-FTLD sum of boxes. Subsequently, associations between TMEM106B and each outcome measure were investigated within the genetic group. For longitudinal modeling, linear mixed-effects models with time by TMEM106B predictor interactions were fitted. The minor allele of TMEM106B rs1990622, linked to a decreased risk of FTD, associated with greater gray matter volume in GRN mutation carriers under the recessive dosage model. This was most pronounced in the thalamus in the left hemisphere, with a retained association when considering presymptomatic GRN mutation carriers only. The minor allele of TMEM106B rs1990622 also associated with greater cognitive scores among all C9orf72 mutation carriers and in presymptomatic C9orf72 mutation carriers, under the recessive dosage model. We identified associations of TMEM106B with gray matter volume and cognition in the presence of GRN and C9orf72 mutations. This further supports TMEM106B as modifier of TDP-43 pathology. The association of TMEM106B with outcomes of interest in presymptomatic GRN and C9orf72 mutation carriers could additionally reflect TMEM106B's impact on divergent pathophysiological changes before the appearance of clinical symptoms.\n\nID: 38514782\nTitle: Cell subtype-specific effects of genetic variation in the Alzheimer's disease brain.\nAbstract: The relationship between genetic variation and gene expression in brain cell types and subtypes remains understudied. Here, we generated single-nucleus RNA sequencing data from the neocortex of 424 individuals of advanced age; we assessed the effect of genetic variants on RNA expression in cis (cis-expression quantitative trait loci) for seven cell types and 64 cell subtypes using 1.5 million transcriptomes. This effort identified 10,004 eGenes at the cell type level and 8,099 eGenes at the cell subtype level. Many eGenes are only detected within cell subtypes. A new variant influences APOE expression only in microglia and is associated with greater cerebral amyloid angiopathy but not Alzheimer's disease pathology, after adjusting for APOE\u03b54, providing mechanistic insights into both pathologies. Furthermore, only a TMEM106B variant affects the proportion of cell subtypes. Integration of these results with genome-wide association studies highlighted the targeted cell type and probable causal gene within Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, educational attainment and Parkinson's disease loci.\n\nID: 38343132\nTitle: Gene replacement-Alzheimer's disease (GR-AD): Modeling the genetics of human dementias in mice.\nAbstract: Genetic studies conducted over the past four decades have provided us with a detailed catalog of genes that play critical roles in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRDs). Despite this progress, as a field we have had only limited success in incorporating this rich complexity of human AD/ADRD genetics findings into our animal models of these diseases. Our primary goal for the gene replacement (GR)-AD project is to develop mouse lines that model the genetics of AD/ADRD as closely as possible. To do this, we are generating mouse lines in which the genes of interest are precisely and completely replaced in the mouse genome by their full human orthologs. Each model set consists of a control line with a wild-type human allele and variant lines that precisely match the human genomic sequence in the control line except for a high-impact pathogenic mutation or risk variant.\n\nID: 37989873\nTitle: Extracellular vesicles of human glial cells exert neuroprotective effects via brain miRNA modulation in a rat model of traumatic brain injury.\nAbstract: Stem cell-based therapeutic approaches for neurological disorders are widely studied. Paracrine factors secreted by stem cells in vitro and delivered intranasally might allow bypassing the disadvantages associated with a surgical cell delivery procedure with likely immune rejection of a transplant. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of the extracellular vesicles secreted by glial progenitor cells (GPC-EV) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cell in a traumatic brain injury model. Intranasal administration of GPC-EV to Wistar rats for 6\u00a0days improved sensorimotor functions assessed over a 14-day observation period. Beside, deep sequencing of microRNA transcriptome of GPC-EV was estimate, and was revealed 203 microRNA species that might be implicated in prevention of various brain pathologies. Modulation of microRNA pools might contribute to the observed decrease in the number of astrocytes that inhibit neurorecovery processes while enhancing neuroplasticity by decreasing phosphorylated Tau forms, preventing inflammation and apoptosis associated with secondary damage to brain tissue. The course of GPC-EV administration was promoted the increasing protein levels of NF-\u03baB in studied areas of the rat brain, indicating NF-\u03baB dependent mechanisms as a plausible route of neuroprotection within the damaged area. This investigation showed that GPC-EV may be representing a therapeutic approach in traumatic brain injury, though its translation into the clinic would require an additional research and development.\n\nID: 37949311\nTitle: Emerging Trends in Cryo-EM-based Structural Studies of Neuropathological Amyloids.\nAbstract: Tauopathies, synucleinopathies, A\u03b2 amyloidosis, TDP-43 proteinopathies, and prion diseases- these neurodegenerative diseases have in common the formation of amyloid filaments rich in cross-\u03b2 sheets. Cryo-electron microscopy now permits the visualization of amyloid assemblies at atomic resolution, ushering a wide range of structural studies on several of these poorly understood amyloidogenic proteins. Amyloids are polymorphic with minor modulations in reaction environment affecting the overall architecture of their assembly, making amyloids an extremely challenging venture for structure-based therapeutic intervention. In 2017, the first cryo-EM structure of tau filaments from an Alzheimer's disease-affected brain established that in vitro assemblies might not necessarily reflect the native amyloid fold. Since then, brain-derived amyloid structures for several proteins across many neurodegenerative diseases have uncovered the disease-relevant amyloid folds. It has now been shown for tauopathies, synucleinopathies and TDP-43 proteinopathies, that distinct amyloid folds of the same protein might be related to different diseases. Salient features of each of these brain-derived folds are discussed in detail. It was also recently observed that seeded aggregation does not necessarily replicate the brain-derived structural fold. Owing to high throughput structure determination, some of these native amyloid folds have also been successfully replicated in vitro. In vitro replication of disease-relevant filaments will aid development of imaging ligands and defibrillating drugs. Towards this direction, recent high-resolution structures of tau filaments with positron emission tomography tracers and a defibrillating drug are also discussed. This review summarizes and celebrates the recent advancements in structural understanding of neuropathological amyloid filaments using cryo-EM.\n\nID: 37794492\nTitle: Multivariate GWAS of Alzheimer's disease CSF biomarker profiles implies GRIN2D in synaptic functioning.\nAbstract: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) have identified several risk loci, but many remain unknown. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers may aid in gene discovery and we previously demonstrated that six CSF biomarkers (\u03b2-amyloid, total/phosphorylated tau, NfL, YKL-40, and neurogranin) cluster into five principal components (PC), each representing statistically independent biological processes. Here, we aimed to (1) identify common genetic variants associated with these CSF profiles, (2) assess the role of associated variants in AD pathophysiology, and (3) explore potential sex differences. We performed GWAS for each of the five biomarker PCs in two multi-center studies (EMIF-AD and ADNI). In total, 973 participants (n\u2009=\u2009205 controls, n\u2009=\u2009546 mild cognitive impairment, n\u2009=\u2009222 AD) were analyzed for 7,433,949 common SNPs and 19,511 protein-coding genes. Structural equation models tested whether biomarker PCs mediate genetic risk effects on AD, and stratified and interaction models probed for sex-specific effects. Five loci showed genome-wide significant association with CSF profiles, two were novel (rs145791381 [inflammation] and GRIN2D [synaptic functioning]) and three were previously described (APOE, TMEM106B, and CHI3L1). Follow-up analyses\u00a0of the two novel signals in independent datasets only supported the GRIN2D locus, which contains several functionally interesting candidate genes. Mediation tests indicated that variants in APOE are associated with AD status via processes related to amyloid and tau pathology, while markers in TMEM106B and CHI3L1 are associated with AD only via neuronal injury/inflammation. Additionally, seven loci showed sex-specific associations with AD biomarkers. These results suggest that pathway and sex-specific analyses can improve our understanding of AD genetics and may contribute to precision medicine.\n\nID: 37745346\nTitle: Lysosomal TMEM106B interacts with galactosylceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism.\nAbstract: TMEM106B is an endolysosomal transmembrane protein not only associated with multiple neurological disorders including frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and hypomyelinating leukodystrophy but also potentially involved in COVID-19. Additionally, recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains. However, so far little is known about physiological functions of TMEM106B in the endolysosome and how TMEM106B is involved in a wide range of human conditions at molecular levels. Here, we performed lipidomic analysis of the brain of TMEM106B-deficient mice. We found that TMEM106B deficiency significantly decreases levels of two major classes of myelin lipids, galactosylceramide and its sulfated derivative sulfatide. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that TMEM106B physically interacts with galactosylceramidase. We also found that galactosyceramidase activity was significantly increased in TMEM106B-deficient brains. Thus, our results reveal a novel function of TMEM106B interacting with galactosyceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism and have implications for TMEM106B-associated diseases.\n\nID: 37694160\nTitle: Neurodegeneration: 2023 update.\nAbstract: This paper reviews ten highly impactful studies published in the previous year selected by the author from the neurodegenerative neuropathology literature. As in previous years, the focus is to highlight human tissue-based experimentation most relevant to neuropathologists. A concerted effort was made to balance the selected studies across disease categories, approaches, and methodologies to capture the breadth of the research landscape. Studies include an integrated proteomic and transcriptomic study of Alzheimer disease (AD) and new consensus diagnostic neuropathological criteria for progressive supranuclear palsy. A number of studies looking at TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) are highlighted. One examined interaction between AD and limbic age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) and yet another demonstrated how TDP-43 represses cryptic exon inclusion in UNC13A, suggesting a novel pathogenic mechanism. Most surprisingly, three cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) studies showed that TMEM106B filaments form the core of TDP-43-positive inclusions. Cryo-EM revealed a prion protein amyloid structure from aggregates in Gerstmann-Str\u00e4ussler-Scheinker disease. There was an elegant functional genomic study cataloging microglial gene expression in the human brain. A study shed light on how APOE influences chronic traumatic encephalopathy. A pathoanatomical study tested the dual hit hypothesis of Lewy body progression throughout the nervous system.

Previous understanding of the underlying mechanism focused on the impairment of lysosome biogenesis caused by TMEM106B loss-of-function. However, mutations in TMEM106B increase its expression level, thus the molecular process linking these mutations to the apparent disruption in TMEM106B function remains mysterious. Recent new studies reported that TMEM106B proteins form intracellular amyloid filaments which universally exist in various neurodegenerative diseases, sometimes being the dominant form of protein aggregation. In light of these new findings, in this review we systematically examined previous efforts in understanding the function of TMEM106B in physiological and pathological conditions. We propose that TMEM106B aggregations could recruit normal TMEM106B proteins and interfere with their function. TMEM106B mutations could lead to lysosome dysfunction by promoting the aggregation of TMEM106B and reducing these aggregations may restore lysosomal function, providing a potential therapeutic target for various neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 37530644\nTitle: TMEM106B Fibrils from FTLD Patients and Healthy Controls.\nAbstract: Recent studies involving four research teams have revealed that amyloid fibrils in FTLD-TDP patients and cognitively healthy individuals primarily consist of TMEM106B, a protein previously identified as a risk factor for FTLD-TDP. Through cryogenic electron microscopy, the studies identified various protofilament structures of TMEM106B fibrils from individuals with several neurodegenerative diseases. These findings raise new questions and opportunities for future research, as they suggest that TMEM106B plays a central role in FTLD pathology. These discoveries also prompt the need for the development of specific antibodies for fibrillar TMEM106B and necessitate further investigation of the potential mechanistic link between TMEM106B and other filamentous aggregates. The power of cryo-EM techniques is underscored in these unexpected findings and may be a vital tool for gaining further molecular insights into neurodegenerative diseases characterized by amyloid deposits.\n\nID: 37182869\nTitle: Comparison of Clinical, Genetic, and Pathologic Features of Limbic and Diffuse Transactive Response DNA-Binding Protein 43 Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease Neuropathologic Spectrum.\nAbstract: Increasing evidence suggests that TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD), or AD-TDP, can be diffuse or limbic-predominant. Understanding whether diffuse AD-TDP has genetic, clinical, and pathological features that differ from limbic AD-TDP could have clinical and research implications. To better characterize the clinical and pathologic features of diffuse AD-TDP and differentiate it from limbic AD-TDP. 363 participants from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, and Neurodegenerative Research Group with autopsy confirmed AD and TDP-43 pathology were included. All underwent genetic, clinical, neuropsychologic, and neuropathologic evaluations. AD-TDP pathology distribution was assessed using the Josephs 6-stage scale. Stages 1-3 were classified as Limbic, those 4-6 as Diffuse. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify clinicopathologic features that independently predicted diffuse pathology. The cohort was 61% female and old at onset (median: 76 years [IQR:70-82]) and death (median: 88 years [IQR:82-92]). Fifty-four percent were Limbic and 46% Diffuse. Clinically, \u223c10-20% increases in odds of being Diffuse associated with 5-year increments in age at onset (p\u200a=\u200a0.04), 1-year longer disease duration (p\u200a=\u200a0.02), and higher Neuropsychiatric Inventory scores (p\u200a=\u200a0.03), while 15-second longer Trailmaking Test-B times (p\u200a=\u200a0.02) and higher Block Design Test scores (p\u200a=\u200a0.02) independently decreased the odds by ~\u00a010-15%. There was evidence for association of APOE\u025b4 allele with limbic AD-TDP and of TMEM106B rs3173615\u200aC allele with diffuse AD-TDP. Pathologically, widespread amyloid-\u03b2 plaques (Thal phases: 3-5) decreased the odds of diffuse TDP-43 pathology by 80-90%, while hippocampal sclerosis increased it sixfold (p\u200a<\u200a0.001). Diffuse AD-TDP shows clinicopathologic and genetic features different from limbic AD-TDP.\n\nID: 37100087\nTitle: C-terminal TMEM106B fragments in human brain correlate with disease-associated TMEM106B haplotypes.\nAbstract: Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) is a tightly regulated glycoprotein predominantly localized to endosomes and lysosomes. Genetic studies have implicated TMEM106B haplotypes in the development of multiple neurodegenerative diseases with the strongest effect in frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP), especially in progranulin (GRN) mutation carriers. Recently, cryo-electron microscopy studies showed that a C-terminal fragment (CTF) of TMEM106B (amino acid residues 120-254) forms amyloid fibrils in the brain of patients with FTLD-TDP, but also in brains with other neurodegenerative conditions and normal ageing brain. The functional implication of these fibrils and their relationship to the disease-associated TMEM106B haplotype remain unknown. We performed immunoblotting using a newly developed antibody to detect TMEM106B CTFs in the sarkosyl-insoluble fraction of post-mortem human brain tissue from patients with different proteinopathies (n = 64) as well as neuropathologically normal individuals (n = 10) and correlated the results with age and TMEM106B haplotype. We further compared the immunoblot results with immunohistochemical analyses performed in the same study population. Immunoblot analysis showed the expected \u223c30 kDa band in the sarkosyl-insoluble fraction of frontal cortex tissue in at least some individuals with each of the conditions evaluated. Most patients with GRN mutations showed an intense band representing TMEM106B CTF, whereas in most neurologically normal individuals it was absent or much weaker. In the overall cohort, the presence of TMEM106B CTFs correlated strongly with both age (rs = 0.539, P < 0.001) and the presence of the TMEM106B risk haplotype (rs = 0.469, P < 0.001). Although there was a strong overall correlation between the results of immunoblot and immunohistochemistry (rs = 0.662, P < 0.001), 27 cases (37%) were found to have higher amounts of TMEM106B CTFs detected by immunohistochemistry, including most of the older individuals who were neuropathologically normal and individuals who carried two protective TMEM106B haplotypes. Our findings suggest that the formation of sarkosyl-insoluble TMEM106B CTFs is an age-related feature which is modified by TMEM106B haplotype, potentially underlying its disease-modifying effect. The discrepancies between immunoblot and immunohistochemistry in detecting TMEM106B pathology suggests the existence of multiple species of TMEM106B CTFs with possible biological relevance and disease implications.\n\nID: 42579432\nTitle: Intratracheal Delivery of mRNA Lipid Nanoparticles Reprograms Alveolar Macrophages for Pulmonary Cancer Immunotherapy.\nAbstract: Pulmonary delivery of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based mRNA vaccines offers a promising strategy for localized lung cancer immunotherapy, yet how distinct pulmonary administration routes determine cellular targeting and therapeutic efficacy remains poorly understood. Here, we systematically evaluate intranasal and intratracheal delivery of mRNA-LNP vaccines and reveal a route-dependent immunological mechanism governing lung-targeted tumor vaccination. Although intratracheal administration yields only a 2.6-fold increase in total pulmonary protein expression compared to intranasal delivery, it produces a striking 26.8-fold enhancement in functional mRNA transfection efficiency within alveolar macrophages, the dominant antigen-presenting cell population in the alveolar space. This selective targeting reprograms alveolar macrophages toward an activated antigen-presenting phenotype, promoting efficient antigen presentation, robust CD8+ T-cell responses, and superior prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in pulmonary tumor models. Notably, local depletion of alveolar macrophages completely abolishes the antitumor protection conferred by intratracheal vaccination, establishing their indispensable role in mediating pulmonary mRNA vaccine efficacy. Together, these findings provide mechanistic insights into lung-targeted mRNA cancer vaccination driven by alveolar macrophage engagement, providing critical insights for the design of next-generation LNP-based nanomedicines for lung cancer immunotherapy.\n\nID: 42293730\nTitle: A safe and anti-inflammatory plant-derived nanovesicle platform for targeted delivery in acute lung injury.\nAbstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), are life-threatening pulmonary disorders with extremely high mortality rates, for which effective and safe therapeutic strategies remain limited. The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold. In murine models of bacterial pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-loaded GRb1@LEVs-cRGD efficiently accumulated at infection sites and exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Overall, this study demonstrates that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD is a safe, targeted, and multifunctional therapeutic platform with significant potential for ALI/ARDS treatment.\n\nID: 42211882\nTitle: M1 macrophage-targeted engineered ginseng stems and leaves-derived extracellular vesicles delivery system for alleviating rheumatoid arthritis.\nAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation, oxidative stress damage and joint destruction. Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization. This integrated strategy combining natural EVs, targeted modification and active drug loading provides a promising platform for the treatment of RA and other inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42116071\nTitle: An intramuscular prime-intranasal boost strategy for mRNA-LNP vaccine induces mucosal immune response against SARS-CoV-2 in murine model.\nAbstract: Mucosal immunity constitutes the primary defense against pathogens. Vaccination strategies aimed at inducing mucosal immunity are therefore crucial for preventing viral infections. Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems enhance mRNA vaccine stability, giving them the potential for mucosal delivery. This study employed an mRNA-LNP vaccine candidate encoding the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, compatible with intranasal delivery, to evaluate immunization strategies aimed at inducing robust systemic and mucosal immunity. Antibody and T cell responses in both systemic and mucosal compartments, as well as protection against viral challenge, were assessed in mice following various regimens, including single-route and heterologous prime-boost strategies. Single B-cell immune repertoire analysis was performed to further elucidate the advantages of an optimized mucosal immunization approach. Intranasal immunization alone induced weak systemic antibody responses and failed to elicit mucosal immunity. In contrast, an \"intramuscular prime and intranasal boost\" regimen provoked strong systemic and mucosal immunity, marked by significantly elevated levels of antigen-specific T cells and mucosal IgA, which correlated with broader protection. Immunoprofiling revealed that intranasal boosting promoted IgA class switching in antigen-specific B cells and diversified the antigen-specific B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire. This study demonstrates that mRNA vaccines encapsulated in tailored LNPs can be effectively delivered via an \"intramuscular prime and intranasal boost\" strategy, establishing an efficacious approach for mRNA mucosal immunization.\n\nID: 42090956\nTitle: Panax notoginseng-derived extracellular vesicles alleviate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by suppressing p53 activation.\nAbstract: Doxorubicin (Dox) is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent, but its clinical use is limited by cumulative cardiotoxicity. Panax notoginseng, a traditional medicinal herb, exhibits well-documented cardioprotective properties; however, the therapeutic application of its bioactive constituents is constrained by poor bioavailability and potential toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as natural nanocarriers facilitating cross-kingdom delivery of bioactive metabolites. In this study, we investigated whether P. notoginseng-derived EVs (PEVs) could mitigate Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and explored the underlying mechanisms. PEVs were isolated from P. notoginseng rhizomes and systematically characterized, with metabolite profiling performed by UPLC-MS. Cellular uptake, biodistribution, and cardioprotective effects were evaluated in Dox-injured cardiomyocytes and a chronic mouse model of DIC. Mechanistic insights were obtained using transcriptomic analysis, molecular docking, and biochemical assays. PEVs were stable nanosized vesicles enriched with characteristic P. notoginseng metabolites, including triterpenoid saponins and dencichine. PEVs were efficiently internalized by cardiomyocytes and preferentially accumulated in injured myocardium. Functionally, PEVs attenuated Dox-induced inflammation, apoptosis, myocardial atrophy, fibrosis, and cardiac dysfunction, with efficacy comparable to dexrazoxane. Mechanistically, transcriptomic and molecular analysis identified p53 as a central regulatory target. PEVs-derived metabolites targeted the p53 DNA-binding domain, suppressing p53 phosphorylation and transcriptional activation of pro-apoptotic and inflammatory genes. Notably, p53 activation attenuated PEVs-mediated protection, whereas p53 inhibition or silencing abolished additional protective effects, indicating a p53-dependent mechanism. PEVs protect against DIC by delivering bioactive metabolites to injured myocardium and inhibiting p53-driven oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic pathways, highlighting their potential as a phytomedicine-based cardioprotective strategy.\n\nID: 42069690\nTitle: Superior protection against tuberculosis using heterologous mRNA nanoadjuvant vaccines.\nAbstract: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health threat, underscoring the need for vaccines that surpass BCG efficacy. We developed QTAP-R, a novel mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine encoding Ag85B, Hsp70, and ESAT-6, to enhance immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. QTAP efficiently encapsulated and delivered mRNA with high transfection efficiency and low cytotoxicity. In C57BL/6 mice, QTAP-R induced strong antigen-specific IgG and T-cell responses, including elevated CD4\u207a and CD8\u207a activation and increased polyfunctional cytokines (IFN-\u03b3, TNF-\u03b1, IL-2, IL-17A). When combined with BCG (BCG\u2009+\u2009QTAP-R), the vaccine elicited enhanced immune memory, reduced bacterial burden in lungs and spleen, and minimized lung pathology following M. tuberculosis challenge. Subcutaneous QTAP-R (QTAP-SQ) provided partial protection under high-dose challenge, outperforming intranasal delivery. Transcriptomic profiling revealed upregulation of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-12) and chemokines (CCL3, CCL4, CXCL9, CXCL10), indicating enhanced immune recruitment and activation. CD4\u207a T-cell depletion abolished protection, confirming their critical role in QTAP-R-mediated immunity. Overall, QTAP-R demonstrates potent immunogenicity and synergistic efficacy with BCG, positioning it as a promising mRNA-based TB vaccine candidate.\n\nID: 42054358\nTitle: An Ad5-vectored platform generating self-assembling VLPs elicits potent mucosal immunity against influenza A virus and SARS-CoV-2.\nAbstract: Integrating complementary vaccine modalities is essential for combating emerging pathogens. Although the recent mRNA-VLP hybrids enable spontaneous virus-like particles (VLPs) self-assembly, thereby enhancing immunogenicity, they fail to elicit robust pulmonary mucosal immunity against respiratory pathogens. Here, we developed Ad5-Envp-VLP, a chimeric adenoviral platform enabling spontaneous in vivo assembly of envelope protein-displaying VLPs using advanced technology that recruits ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) via the EABR (ESCRT and ALIX-binding region). Compared with the intramuscular route, intranasal administration of a single-dose Ad5-HA-VLP confers long-lasting protection against both homologous and heterologous influenza A strains. Integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry analyses reveal that intranasal delivery of Ad5-HA-VLP recruits and functionally reprograms lung innate immune cells, promoting antigen presentation and driving robust mucosal secretory IgA (sIgA) secretion and cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses. Similarly, intranasal delivery of Ad5-S-VLP elicits potent cross-neutralizing antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Importantly, intranasal immunization with Ad5-S-HA-VLP (coexpressing S- and HA-VLPs) generates dual influenza and SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies, alongside pulmonary antigen-specific sIgA, confirming Ad5-Envp-VLP as a promising \"single-dose multiplexed mucosal vaccine\" against respiratory pathogens. Further extended applications show that Ad5-RVDG-VLP also induces broad protective immunity in mouse, dog, and cat models, verifying its feasibility as an efficient rabies vaccine. Collectively, the Ad5-Envp-VLP platform represents a universal and versatile mucosal vaccine strategy, leveraging pulmonary delivery of vectors that encode in vivo-assembling VLPs to concurrently elicit robust mucosal and systemic immunity against a wide spectrum of pathogens.\n\nID: 41985257\nTitle: The drug substance of traditional Japanese Kampo medicines retains exosome-like nanoparticles derived from crude drugs.\nAbstract: Recent studies have highlighted the diverse roles of extracellular vesicles, which have been detected in natural products such as ginger and ginseng. This study examined whether traditional Japanese Kampo medicines also contain extracellular vesicles. The drug substance (i.e., spray-dried powder from hot-water extracts of crude drugs) of the Kampo medicine Ninjin'yoeito was suspended in distilled water and fractionated by size exclusion chromatography to isolate nano-sized particles. Nanoparticle tracking analysis and electron microscopy confirmed the particle size distribution and morphology of the product, confirming the presence of exosome-like nanoparticles in the Kampo medicine preparation. Nanoparticle measurements and electron microscopy revealed vesicle-like structures consistent with the known characteristics of exosomes, and proteomic analysis supported their biochemical identity. Lectin array profiling revealed the abundance of high-mannose N-glycans on their surface. These nanoparticles were internalized by cells, and miRNA analysis indicated the presence of multiple miRNA types within the nanoparticles. This is the first report demonstrating the presence and characteristics of exosome-like nanoparticles in Kampo medicines. Although most active components of Kampo medicines have traditionally been considered small molecules, our findings suggest that extracellular vesicles can also serve as potential bioactive components.\n\nID: 41959551\nTitle: Microbial mechanisms and therapeutic interventions in the periodontitis-inflammatory bowel disease axis: a comprehensive review.\nAbstract: Periodontitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions of the oral and gastrointestinal tracts that exhibit bidirectional microbial and immunological crosstalk. Aimed at elucidating the bidirectional crosstalk between periodontitis and IBD at both microbiological and immunological levels and evaluate related therapeutic interventions, this review comprehensively summarizes recent evidence on their interaction via the oral-gut-bone axis, focusing on microbial ecology, host responses, and innovative therapies. Distinct yet overlapping dysbiotic signatures are observed in both diseases, with periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum capable of translocating to the gut and perturbing intestinal homeostasis, while gut inflammation reciprocally reshapes the oral microbiome. Mechanistic links include a spectrum of convergent pathways: (i) microbial metabolites-short-chain fatty acids, choline metabolites, indole derivatives, polyamines, and bile acids-that modulate barrier integrity and immune responses; (ii) shared immune cells and inflammatory mediators driving mucosal damage at both sites; (iii) bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) and lysine lactylation (Kla)-mediated signaling; and (iv) oxidative stress, iron metabolism dysregulation, and ferroptosis contributing to tissue destruction. Therapeutic strategies targeting this axis encompass bidirectional interventions: periodontal and IBD treatments that mutually influence oral and gut health, natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds, probiotics and prebiotics, oral and fecal microbiota transplantation, and emerging bacteriophage therapy. Critically, the clinical translation of collaborative dentistry-gastroenterology management is highlighted as a promising avenue for integrated care. By integrating findings across microbial ecology, host response, and therapeutic innovation, this review provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and targeting the periodontitis-IBD axis.\n\nID: 41939876\nTitle: ARG1-polyamine axis: cell-type-specific functions in disease pathogenesis and therapeutic targeting.\nAbstract: ARG1 catalyzes the conversion of L-arginine to L-ornithine, urea, polyamines, and L-proline, thereby balancing nitrogen detoxification with tissue-specific roles in proliferation and immunity. This review delineates the context-dependent functions of ARG1 across diverse cell types-including tumor cells, immune cells, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, and stem cells. In tumors, ARG1 drives immunosuppression and metabolic reprogramming but can paradoxically suppress tumorigenesis. Immune modulation via ARG1-polyamine crosstalk regulates T cell differentiation, macrophage polarization, and microbiota interactions, influencing infection and autoimmunity. Endothelial ARG1 exacerbates obesity-related vascular dysfunction, while keratinocyte ARG1 impacts wound healing and psoriasis. Emerging therapies-such as ARG1 inhibitors, engineered extracellular vesicles, and microbiome interventions-show preclinical promise in cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. By mapping ARG1's spatiotemporal metabolic networks, this work highlights its dual roles and positions ARG1 as a central player for precision medicine in complex pathologies.\n\nID: 41901427\nTitle: Plant-Derived Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery: A Unified Framework Integrating Extracellular Vesicles, Engineered Phytocarriers, Hybrid Platforms, and Bioinspired Systems.\nAbstract: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs), engineered phytosomes, bioinspired polymeric plant-based nanoparticles (PBNPs), hybrid phyto-inorganic nanocomposites, green-synthesized metal nanoparticles, self-assembled nanoarchitectures, and multifunctional composites represent a rapidly advancing class of sustainable, nature-inspired nanocarriers. These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine.\n\nID: 41858576\nTitle: From Biomedical Mechanisms to Clinical Applications: Research Progress in Plant-Derived Vesicles for Cancer Therapy.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale membranous structures secreted by cells, which carry bioactive molecules (eg, lipids, proteins, miRNAs) and facilitate intercellular communication. Recently, EVs have emerged as natural drug delivery systems. While early research focused on mammalian or bacterial EVs, concerns regarding safety, ethics, and cost limit their clinical translation. Plant-derived vesicles (PDVs), isolated from fruits, vegetables, or medicinal herbs, overcome these issues due to their abundant sources, cost-effectiveness, and favorable safety profile. PDVs from plants like citrus, ginger, and ginseng exhibit inherent anticancer effects by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. However, PDV research remains nascent and faces major challenges: (1) Scalable production is inefficient, with current isolation methods yielding impurities and batch variations. (2) Unified markers and classification criteria are lacking, hindering data standardization. (3) High heterogeneity and the absence of systematic databases impede matching PDV sources to specific diseases. (4) Safety assessment frameworks are urgently needed, including contraindications and pharmacokinetic studies. This review summarizes the preparation methods, physicochemical properties, anticancer mechanisms, and drug delivery applications of PDVs, while addressing these challenges and future prospects.\n\nID: 41825795\nTitle: miR-146a-3p drives major depressive disorder pathogenesis via BDNF suppression: a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target.\nAbstract: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating neuropsychiatric condition characterized by persistent low mood, affecting approximately 322 million individuals worldwide. With a staggering 15% mortality rate due to suicide among patients, MDD represents a critical global health challenge. Emerging evidence implicates microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders; however, the role of miR-146a-3p in MDD-particularly its mechanistic involvement and potential as a diagnostic biomarker-remains unexplored. In this study, we integrated multi-database bioinformatics analyses with experimental validation to identify miR-146a-3p as a key regulator of MDD progression. Our computational screening revealed miR-146a-3p as a putative risk-associated non-coding RNA, alongside brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a well-established MDD susceptibility gene. In vivo studies demonstrated a significant upregulation of miR-146a-3p and concurrent downregulation of BDNF in MDD model mice. Further bioinformatic predictions and dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed a direct interaction between miR-146a-3p and BDNF mRNA, leading to post-transcriptional suppression of BDNF expression. Mechanistically, miR-146a-3p overexpression impaired synaptic plasticity, as evidenced by reduced levels of key synaptic proteins such as postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) and synapsin (SYN-1), while in vitro transfection experiments validated its negative regulation of BDNF. Critically, intranasal delivery of a miR-146a-3p antagomir or exogenous BDNF protein rescued depressive-like behaviors in murine models, as assessed by open-field, forced swim, and tail suspension tests. These interventions restored synaptic protein expression and ameliorated behavioral deficits, suggesting a therapeutic avenue for MDD. Our findings establish miR-146a-3p as a pivotal epigenetic modulator of MDD pathogenesis, acting through direct suppression of BDNF-dependent synaptic plasticity. The reversibility of this pathway via antagomir inhibition highlights miR-146a-3p's dual potential as both a diagnostic biomarker and a therapeutic target. This study provides foundational insights for developing miRNA-based interventions in mood disorders.\n\nID: 41694618\nTitle: Tumor-Derived Polyamines Initiate Fat Wasting in Cancer Cachexia.\nAbstract: Cancer-associated cachexia (CC) is a fatal metabolic condition characterized by progressive loss of fat and muscle mass, yet its early molecular drivers remain poorly defined. Here, we identify a polyamine-dependent tumor-adipose crosstalk that triggers adipocyte lipolysis and fat wasting during the pre-cachexia stage, preceding systemic inflammation and muscle atrophy. Cancer-derived polyamines are enriched in extracellular vesicles and promote lipid mobilization via eIF5A hypusination, independent of adrenergic signaling. In preclinical models, polyamine accumulation associates with early fat loss and elevated circulating fatty acids. Clinically, automated CT imaging of newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients reveals increased adipose density, reflecting lipolysis, that correlates with circulating polyamine levels and predicts poor survival. These findings support polyamine metabolism as a mechanistic driver and candidate biomarker of early cachexia, providing a framework for early detection and targeted intervention.\n\nID: 41688997\nTitle: Cross-kingdom miRNA delivery by Panax notoginseng-derived extracellular-like nanoparticles vesicles restores neuronal function after ischemic injury.\nAbstract: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) impermeability remains a major obstacle to the effective treatment of neurological disorders, particularly ischemic stroke. Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models. Mechanistically, NotoEV delivered conserved plant microRNAs to recipient neurons, where they suppressed key stress granule nucleators GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 2 (G3bp2), Ubiquitin-associated protein 2 like (Ubap2l), and LSM14A mRNA processing body assembly factor (Lsm14a), activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, and promoted mitochondrial stabilization via the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/ Translocase Of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) axis. This cross-kingdom RNA delivery reprogrammed neuronal stress responses, reduced infarct volume, preserved neuronal morphology, and restored electrophysiological function. Collectively, our findings establish a scalable platform for plant-based nanotherapeutics and highlight the translational potential of NotoEV in treating ischemic stroke.\n\nID: 41662238\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of mRNA Polyplexes via Rayleigh Breakup Aerosols: An In Vitro Method for Nasal Deposition and Functional Testing.\nAbstract: Intranasal delivery of mRNA therapeutics is a promising strategy for vaccination and treating respiratory diseases, offering direct immune activation at the site of pathogen entry. However, conventional aerosolization methods (e.g., ultrasonic or high-pressure nebulizers) deteriorate non-viral mRNA vectors through excessive shear forces, causing mRNAs to lose their structural integrity and biological activities. A Rayleigh breakup nasal atomizer was used to gently aerosolize polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mRNA vectors into uniform droplets. Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)-encoding mRNA was formulated into cationic polyplexes and characterized pre- and post-aerosolization. The Rayleigh breakup process forms a continuous micro-jet of droplets with minimal shear, thereby preserving the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. Consistent particle size, low polydispersity index, and stable zeta potential before and after aerosolization were observed, confirming that the physicochemical properties of mRNA polyplexes were well preserved via Rayleigh breakup for aerosolization. Using an Alberta Idealized Nasal Inlet (AINI) model of the nasal airway, the PEI-mRNA aerosols were delivered. The aerosolized mRNAs were primarily deposited in the turbinate regions. Negligible fractions were found in the nasopharynx or lung-equivalent sections. In addition, the post-aerosolized mRNA polyplexes were successfully delivered to A549 human lung epithelial cells and produced detectable GFP expression. This protocol demonstrates a non-destructive intranasal mRNA delivery method using Rayleigh breakup aerosolization. It effectively maintains the physicochemical properties and biological functions of non-viral mRNA vectors, atomizing the aqueous phase into droplets of appropriate sizes for targeted nasal deposition. This protocol reveals a novel approach for effectively aerosolizing mRNAs and evaluating their regional deposition in the nasal cavity.\n\nID: 41641542\nTitle: circMFN2 Regulates the IGF2BP3-PDK4 to Ameliorate Pulmonary Hypertension.\nAbstract: Circular RNAs have emerged as key regulators of vascular remodeling and promising therapeutic targets, yet their specific contributions to pulmonary hypertension (PH) remain largely unknown. We identified a PH-related circular RNA, circMFN2, generated from the MFN2 (mitofusin-2) locus, which was significantly downregulated in the peripheral blood of patients with PH and in pulmonary arteries of Sugen/hypoxia-induced PH mice. Functional studies were performed in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells under hypoxic conditions and in Sugen/hypoxia mice treated intranasally with R8-circMFN2 (R8-peptide-modified liposomal circMFN2). Transcriptomic profiling, RNA-protein interaction assays, and mitochondrial function analyses were used to define the downstream mechanisms. circMFN2 overexpression significantly attenuated hypoxia-induced human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration, and mitochondrial dysfunction. RNA sequencing after circMFN2 knockdown revealed activation of gene networks associated with respiratory system diseases. Mechanistically, circMFN2 directly bound the RNA-binding protein IGF2BP3 (insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3), thereby blocking its stabilization of PDK4 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4) mRNA. This circMFN2-IGF2BP3-PDK4 regulatory axis limited PDK4-mediated metabolic reprogramming, restored mitochondrial fusion, reduced reactive oxygen species, and normalized oxidative phosphorylation. In Sugen/hypoxia mice, therapeutic intranasal delivery of R8-circMFN2 significantly improved pulmonary hemodynamics, reduced vascular remodeling, and downregulated PDK4 expression. circMFN2 functions as a hypoxia-responsive regulator that preserves mitochondrial homeostasis by restraining the IGF2BP3-PDK4 axis. Intranasal delivery of R8-circMFN2 establishes a translational potential for noninvasive circular RNA-based therapy to reverse pulmonary vascular remodeling and hemodynamic impairment in PH.\n\nID: 41621347\nTitle: American ginseng-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGELNs) mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting GPX4-mediated ferroptosis.\nAbstract: Panacis Quinquefolii Radix (American ginseng, AG) has a well-documented history of use in cardiac protection. Nevertheless, the therapeutically active components responsible for its cardioprotective properties have not been fully elucidated. Extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (ELNs) have recently emerged as a promising class of natural nanocarriers with diverse applications in medicine and biology. However, it remains uncertain whether American Ginseng-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (AGELNs) exhibit cardioprotective effects. This investigation aims to analyze the effects of AGELNs on Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and the mechanisms. Gradient ultracentrifugation was employed to isolate and purify AGELNs, while HPLC was employed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of saponin molecules in AGELNs. Fluorescently labeled AGELNs were used to assess their uptake in cardiac tissue and cardiomyocytes. DIC models in mice and zebrafish were employed to evaluate the effect of AGELNs against DIC. Transcriptomics, RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and pharmacological agonist and antagonist treatments were used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AGELNs in vivo and in vitro. AGELNs significantly enhanced cardiac function in mice and zebrafish models, evidenced by increased fractional shortening (FS), stroke volume, heart rate, and pericardial sac areas. Concomitantly, AGELNs demonstrated pronounced cardiac accumulation in Dox-treated mice, zebrafish, and cardiomyocytes. Transcriptomic and cellular analyses demonstrated AGELNs attenuate DIC by suppressing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, AGELNs predominantly inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by targeting GPX4 and activating the NRF2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway. Furthermore, the cardioprotective effect of AGELNs against DIC has been found to be closely linked to its specific combination of bioactive saponins, including Rb1, Rg1, Re, and Rd. AGELNs significantly mitigated DIC by activating GPX4 and suppressing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. These insights are valuable for the formulation of AGELNs therapies aimed at combating DIC.\n\nID: 41560797\nTitle: Targeting single-cell multiomics-identified vascular impairment: Panax notoginseng extracellular vesicles-loaded adhesive QBK-2/EVs promotes angiogenesis in diabetic wound healing.\nAbstract: Diabetic skin wounds, a severe complication affecting over 18.6 million people globally, are characterized by high amputation and mortality rates. However, the cellular heterogeneity of diabetic wounds and the specific molecular mechanisms underlying their impaired healing remain unclear. Furthermore, treatment strategies based on medicinal plants targeting these pathological mechanisms are lacking. This study explored diabetic wound pathogenesis using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), revealing a 52\u00a0% reduction in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and a decreased abundance of proliferative ECs in diabetic wound tissues, which contributed to impaired vascular repair. Network pharmacology and RT-qPCR identified E-selectin (SELE) as the key target of Panax notoginseng in the treatment of diabetic wounds, which was corroborated by molecular docking. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a class of superior bioactive nanomaterials compared to traditional extracts, exhibiting high delivery efficiency, molecular transport capacity, and biocompatibility, enabling cross-species communication essential for therapeutic applications. To further overcome limitations associated with plant-derived extracts (e.g., short half-life), we isolated Panax notoginseng EVs and subsequently loaded them into a hydrogel via dynamic borate ester bonds formed between quaternized chitosan-phenylboronic acid (QCS-BA) and konjac glucomannan (KGM), ultimately generating the QBK-2/EVs composite system. This hydrogel not only effectively encapsulated and continuously released EVs, but also exhibited good injectability, self-healing property, tissue adhesion (42.83\u00a0kPa), and ROS/pH-responsive degradation. In vitro, QBK-2/EVs enhanced human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation by downregulating SELE and upregulating angiogenesis markers (CD31, F-actin). In vivo, QBK-2/EVs accelerated wound healing in diabetic mice, promoted hemostasis, increased collagen deposition, and enhanced microvessel density (CD31), while simultaneously reducing the expression of SELE. Overall, this work establishes a mechanism-driven strategy for diabetic wound treatment through synergistic exosome-mediated angiogenesis and hydrogel-based delivery.\n\nID: 41538424\nTitle: Versatile DNA Hydrogel-Mediated Delivery of Ginsenoside-Encapsulated Small Extracellular Vesicles to Boost Diabetic Wound Repair.\nAbstract: Diabetic wound healing is often hindered by poor outcomes, prolonged recovery, and high recurrence. To address this, a new therapy approach was demonstrated in this study, in which ginsenoside (GS) molecules are incorporated into small extracellular vesicles (sEV) secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and the formed complexes are then anchored in DNA hydrogels via aptamer-CD63 affinity as \"GS/sEV@DNAgels\". Besides the tissue-restorative ability that sEVs inherit from MSCs, in GS/sEV@DNAgels, GS molecules provide a superior antimicrobial/anti-inflammatory environment at wound sites, while DNA hydrogels serve as wound dressings to ensure sustained release kinetics and enhanced skin penetration. An innovative ultrasonic stimulation was developed to promote the massive production of sEVs. By triggering multiple cellular responses that alter membrane fluidity, calcium levels, and relevant protein expression, our approach achieves a 57.7-fold increase in sEV yield. The synergistic effects of GS and sEVs enhance cell viability, migration, and angiogenesis, as well as local anti-inflammatory and antibacterial conditions during diabetic wound healing. The upregulation of miR-424/322 is confirmed as an essential mechanism of this GS/sEV@DNAgel system in accelerating skin restoration. Our work provides a new and promising strategy for diabetic tissue regeneration.\n\nID: 41299601\nTitle: Carbon dot-lipidoid nanocarriers for superiorly biocompatible nasal mRNA cancer vaccination.\nAbstract: In this study, we synthesized an ionizable lipidoid, Cdoids, composed of carbon dots (Cdots) conjugated with oleic acid that exhibits superior biocompatibility compared to conventional ionizable lipids while retaining intrinsic fluorescence for real-time tracking and optimal nasal delivery of mRNA cancer vaccines. These properties make Cdoids a promising candidate for lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations. Incorporating Cdoids into LNPs enhances mRNA delivery efficiency via intranasal (IN) administration, providing a viable alternative to intramuscular (IM) injection. The unique structural features of Cdoids facilitate the formation of stable nanoparticles that efficiently encapsulate and deliver mRNA leveraging the immunological environment of the nasal mucosa to induce robust systemic and localized immune responses. Notably, Cdoids broaden the range of endocytosis mechanisms beyond conventional LNPs, leading to significantly enhanced mRNA expression within target cells. Comparative analyses demonstrated that Cdoids surpass commercially available ionizable lipids, such as SM-102, in both mRNA delivery efficiency and safety, exhibiting lower cytotoxicity in vitro and improved mRNA expression in vivo following IN administration. Furthermore, when applied as an mRNA cancer vaccine platform, Cdoids-based LNPs elicited strong antigen-specific immune responses, leading to effective tumor growth suppression. This study highlights the potential of Cdoids as an advanced ionizable lipid for LNP-based mRNA therapeutics and introduces an innovative strategy for optimizing intranasal vaccine delivery.\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: 40978531\nTitle: Nose-to-brain siRNA delivery by PEI/PPI-based nanoparticles reduces \u03b1-synuclein expression in a Parkinson's disease mouse model.\nAbstract: Potential strategies to develop new treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD) aim at targeting disease-associated proteins like alpha-synuclein (aSyn), which accumulates in neurons of PD patients and contributes to neuronal degeneration. A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease.\n\nID: 40916157\nTitle: Novel Copper Superparticle-Based Bragg Scattering Coupling Luminescence Strategy for Detection of Ginseng Exosomal miRNA.\nAbstract: Ginseng exosomes are a kind of promising extracellular vesicle containing unique bioactive components. However, the investigation on ginseng-derived exosomes is still in the initial stage. This study developed a photonic crystal-based Bragg scattering coupling electrochemiluminescence (BSC-ECL) biosensor for detection of miRNA396a-3p in exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs) and ginseng exosomes (Gexos). First, copper nanoclusters were engineered into Cu superparticles with \u03c0-\u03c0 stacking of 2,6-dimethylbenzenethiol ligands via a ligand-mediated self-assembly strategy. The prepared Cu superparticles with significantly enhanced luminescence intensity and stability can be used as a nanoprobe. Furthermore, the Bragg scattering law was utilized to modulate the ECL intensity of the Cu superparticles. Due to the highly periodic structure of MIL-96-based photonic crystals, multiple scattering pathways in photonic crystals greatly increased the effective photon flux of Cu superparticles, thus creating a positive feedback loop between photon absorption and emission. Therefore, this cascade amplification mechanism ultimately led to significant BSC-ECL enhancement. The BSC-ECL provided a new quantitative analysis method for key miRNA detection in plant extracellular vesicles, which revealed distinct miRNA concentrations in GENs and Gexos. The method also demonstrated considerable potential in areas such as ginseng quality control, product development, and bioanalysis applications.\n\nID: 40903826\nTitle: Cancer Cell-Secreted miR-33a Reduces Stress Granule Formation by Targeting Polyamine Metabolism in Stroma to Promote Tumourigenesis.\nAbstract: Tumour progression depends on the bidirectional interactions between cancer and stroma in the heterogeneous tumour microenvironment (TME) partially through extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, the secretary mechanism and biological effect of cancer cell derived EVs on tumour survival under starvation is poorly defined. Here, we identify cancer cells selectively secrete miR-33a with the assistance of aconitase 1 (ACO1), an iron-responsive RNA binding protein, under glucose starvation and lower iron level, which affiliates the binding capability of miR-33a and ACO1. Exosomal miR-33a suppresses putrescine biosynthesis by targeting AGMAT in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) from tumour core region, where putrescine inhibits the expression of demethylase KDM5C. TIA1 gene, stress granule (SG) marker, is tightly regulated by miR-33a/KDM5C/H3K4me3 axis and exosomal miR-33a diminishes the formation of stromal SGs in CAFs. Collectively, our study reveals tumour selectively secretes miR-33a-5p through EVs to remodel the stromal SG formation and gain survival possibility for cancer cells in tumour core region, highlighting a novel regulatory mechanism of iron and nutrient level on EV secretion and the function of polyamine metabolism in reshaping epigenetic profiles.\n\nID: 40615441\nTitle: Intranasal delivery of mRNA expressing newly identified Acinetobacter baumannii antigens protects against bacterial lung disease.\nAbstract: Vaccines are central to the strategy to control antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacterial infections; one multidrug resistant pathogen of particular concern is Acinetobacter baumannii. In this study we identified two novel A. baumannii antigens using mass spectrometry and phage expression: Oxa23 and PAL. These genes are highly conserved between different isolates of A. baumannii and recognised by convalescent human sera. We explored their protective immunity using two different vaccine platforms, recombinant outer membrane vesicles (rOMV) and mRNA. RNA vaccine immunised mice had significantly reduced bacterial load in their lower airways following challenge with carbapenem resistant A. baumannii, with Oxa23 providing better protection than PAL. We then compared routes of delivery and RNA vaccine platforms, demonstrating that intranasally delivery of mRNA encoding OXA-23 (formulated with GL67A) significantly reduced disease severity and enhanced bacterial clearance. These studies validate in silico identified antigens through challenge studies and novel mucosal vaccine delivery approaches.\n\nID: 40541182\nTitle: Arachidonic acid triggers spermidine synthase secretion from primary tumor to induce skeletal muscle weakness upon irradiation.\nAbstract: Radiotherapy reduces the risk of cancer recurrence and death, but the fact that it's accompanied by multiple side effects including muscle fibrosis and weakness, seriously affects the life quality of patients. However, the underlying mechanism is poorly defined. Here, we identify that cancer cells secrete more spermidine synthase (SRM) enzyme through small extracellular vesicles to trigger skeletal muscle weakness upon radiotherapy. Mechanistically, irradiation-triggered arachidonic acid (ArA) accumulation elevates the ISGylation of the SRM protein, facilitating SRM packaging into extracellular vesicles from the primary tumor. Circulating SRM results in spermidine accumulation in skeletal muscle and type I collagen fiber biosynthesis in an eIF5A-dependent manner. However, losartan treatment blocks the ISGylation of SRM and its subsequent secretion. Collectively, our findings determine that ArA functions in concert for circulating SRM secretion upon radiotherapy, which aggravates skeletal muscle fibrosis through rewiring polyamine metabolism, shedding light on the alleviation of radiotherapy-mediated muscle weakness when combined with losartan treatment.\n\nID: 40474942\nTitle: Deconvolution of cargo delivery and immunogenicity following intranasal delivery of mRNA lipid nanoparticle vaccines.\nAbstract: Intranasal vaccination aims to elicit mucosal immunity in the\u00a0respiratory tract to better protect against respiratory infections (e.g., SARS-CoV-2 and influenza). Most vaccines, including recent COVID-19 mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), are optimized for intramuscular (i.m.) administration and typically perform poorly when delivered intranasally. Here, we prepared mRNA-LNPs using clinically approved ionizable lipids (ALC-0315, SM-102, and DLin-MC3-DMA) with or without a permanent cationic lipid (1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane [DOTAP]) to deliver a model immunogen (ovalbumin [OVA]) and CRE recombinase reporter mRNA. Using wild-type C57BL/6 and Ai14 reporter mouse models, we deconvoluted the effects of LNP formulation on mRNA cargo delivery and immunogenicity following i.m. or intranasal (i.n.) administration. After i.m. vaccination, mRNA-LNPs demonstrated transfection of muscle and immune cells in\u00a0vivo, and consequently robust humoral immune responses. In contrast, mRNA-LNP delivery to the respiratory mucosa was poorly immunogenic, both in naive animals and in those with post-infection inflammation. Encouragingly, mRNA-LNPs efficiently transfected epithelial and immune cells within the lungs and expressed mRNA cargo could efficiently recall immunity in draining secondary lymphoid tissues. The addition of DOTAP led to enhanced recall responses. Decoding interplays of LNP formulations and their performance in\u00a0vivo within specific tissue compartments will provide principles that can guide the rational design of mRNA-LNPs for maximal protection against respiratory diseases.\n\nID: 40312392\nTitle: An intranasal subunit vaccine induces protective systemic and mucosal antibody immunity against respiratory viruses in mouse models.\nAbstract: Although vaccines are usually given intramuscularly, the intranasal delivery route may lead to better mucosal protection and limit the spread of respiratory virus while easing administration and improving vaccine acceptance. The challenge, however, is to achieve delivery across the selective epithelial cell barrier. Here we report on a subunit vaccine platform, in which the antigen is genetically fused to albumin to facilitate FcRn-mediated transport across the mucosal barrier in the presence of adjuvant. Intranasal delivery in conventional and transgenic mouse models induces both systemic and mucosal antigen-specific antibody responses that protect against challenge with SARS-CoV-2 or influenza A. When benchmarked against an intramuscularly administered mRNA vaccine or an intranasally administered antigen fused to an alternative carrier of similar size, only the albumin-based intranasal vaccine yields robust mucosal IgA antibody responses. Our results thus suggest that this needle-free, albumin-based vaccine platform may be suited for vaccination against respiratory pathogens.\n\nID: 40127967\nTitle: Targeting Respiratory Viruses: The Efficacy of Intranasal mRNA Vaccination in Generating Protective Mucosal and Systemic Immunity Against Influenza A (H1N1).\nAbstract: Four significant influenza outbreaks have occurred over the past 100\u2009years, and the 1918 influenza pandemic is the most severe. Since influenza viruses undergo antigenic evolution, they are the pathogens most likely to trigger a new pandemic shortly. Intranasal vaccination offers a promising strategy for preventing diseases triggered by respiratory viruses by eliciting an immunoglobulin A (IgA) response, limiting virus replication and transmission from the respiratory tract more efficiently than intramuscular vaccines. Combining intranasal administration and mRNA-lipid nanoparticles can be an ideal strategy for limiting the extent of the next flu pandemic. This study explored the immunogenicity of intranasally delivered mRNA encapsulated in mannose-histidine-conjugated chitosan lipid nanoparticles (MHCS-LNPs) as a vaccine against influenza A (H1N1) in BALB/c mice. Intranasal administration of mRNA-MHCS-LNPs resulted in the generation of influenza A (H1N1) hemagglutinin-specific neutralizing antibodies in vaccinated animals. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results indicated a notable increase in the quantity of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA antibodies in serum and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), respectively, and exhibited influenza A-specific IFN-\u03b3 secretion in vaccinated mice, as well as a noticeable alteration in IL-5 production. Overall, this study demonstrated an effective immunogenic response against respiratory viral infections through intranasal delivery of an mRNA-MHCS-LNP vaccine.\n\nID: 39952328\nTitle: Bridging gap in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease via postbiotics: Current practices and future prospects.\nAbstract: Aging is an extremely significant risk associated with neurodegeneration. The most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders (NDs), such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) are distinguished by the prevalence of proteinopathy, aberrant glial cell activation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, defective autophagy, cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic changes, neurogenesis suppression, increased blood-brain barrier permeability, and intestinal dysbiosis that is excessive for the patient's age. Substantial body studies have documented a close relationship between gut microbiota and AD, and restoring a healthy gut microbiota may reduce or even ameliorate AD symptoms and progression. Thus, control of the microbiota in the gut has become an innovative model for clinical management of AD, and rising emphasis is focused on finding new techniques for preventing and/or managing the disease. The etiopathogenesis of gut microbiota in driving AD progression and supplementing postbiotics as a preventive and therapeutic treatment for AD is discussed. The review additionally discusses the use of postbiotics in AD prophylaxis and therapy, portraying them as substances that address senescence-triggered dysfunctions and are worthy of translating from bench to biopharmaceutical market in response to \"silver consumers\" needs. The current review examines and evaluates the impact of postbiotics as whole and specific metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), lactate, polyamines, polyphenols, tryptophan metabolites, exopolysaccharides, and bacterial extracellular vesicles, on the aging-associated processes that reinforce AD. Moreover, it provides an overview of the most recent data from both clinical and preclinical research involving the use of postbiotics in AD.\n\nID: 39888252\nTitle: Muco-Penetrating Lipid Nanoparticles Having a Liquid Core for Enhanced Intranasal mRNA Delivery.\nAbstract: Intranasal delivery of mRNA vaccines offers promising opportunities to combat airborne viruses like SARS-CoV-2 by provoking mucosal immunity, which not only defends against respiratory infection but also prevents contagious transmission. However, the development of nasal mRNA vaccines has been hampered by the lack of effective means to overcome the mucus barrier. Herein, ionizable lipid-incorporated liquid lipid nanoparticles (iLLNs) capable of delivering mRNA cargo across airway mucosa are designed. Adjusting the ratios of ionizable and cationic lipids allows fine-tuning of the pKa of iLLNs to the range of nasal mucosal pH (5.5-6.5), thus facilitating mucus penetration via the formation of near-neutral, PEGylated muco-inert surfaces. When nasally administered to mice, the top candidate iLLN-2/mRNA complexes enable about 60-fold greater reporter gene expression in the nasal cavity, compared to the benchmark mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (ALC-LNP) having the same lipid composition as that of BNT162b2 vaccine. Moreover, a prime-boost intranasal immunization of iLLN-2/mRNA complexes elicits a greater magnitude of SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific mucosal IgA and IgG response than ALC-LNP, without triggering any noticeable inflammatory reactions. Taken together, these results provide useful insights for the design of nasally deliverable mRNA formulations for prophylactic applications.\n\nID: 39872281\nTitle: Enhancement of skin regeneration through activation of TGF-\u03b2/SMAD signaling pathway by Panax ginseng meyer non-edible callus-derived extracellular vesicles.\nAbstract: This study aimed to investigate the effects of ginseng non-edible callus-derived extracellular vesicle (GNEV) on skin regeneration, particularly focusing on its impact on proliferation and migration in human dermal fibroblast (HDF). GNEV was isolated from ginseng non-edible callus using sequential filtration and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The extracellular vesicle was characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). HDF was treated with various concentrations of GNEV, and cell viability, proliferation, and migration were assessed using MTT and scratch wound healing assays. Gene expression related to collagen synthesis (TGF-\u03b2, SMAD-2, SMAD-3, COL1A1) was measured using RT-PCR. Treatment of HDF with GNEV resulted in a significant 2.5-fold increase in cell migration compared to the non-treated group. Furthermore, GNEV demonstrated the upregulation of collagen synthesis genes, specifically TGF-\u03b2, SMAD-2, SMAD-3, and COL1A1, by 41.7\u00a0%, 59.4\u00a0%, 60.2\u00a0%, and 21.8\u00a0%, respectively. These findings indicated that GNEV activates the TGF-\u03b2/SMAD signaling pathway, showcasing its potential to induce skin regeneration. In conclusion, GNEV exhibits a notable ability to enhance skin regeneration through its stimulatory effects on cell migration and the upregulation of key collagen synthesis genes. The activation of the TGF-\u03b2/SMAD signaling pathway further suggests the potential of GNEV as a promising candidate for drug delivery systems in the fields of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, opening avenues for further research and application in skincare and dermatology.\n\nID: 39813130\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of a Ghrelin Mimetic Engages the Brain Ghrelin Signaling System in Mice.\nAbstract: Ghrelin, the endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), promotes food intake and other feeding behaviors, and stimulates growth hormone (GH) release from the pituitary. Growth hormone secretagogues (GHS), such as GHRP-6 and MK-0677, are synthetic GHSR ligands that activate orexigenic neuropeptide Y neurons that coexpress agouti-related peptide (AgRP) in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus when administered systemically. Systemic GHRP-6 also stimulates GH release in humans and rats. Thus, GHS and ghrelin have therapeutic relevance in patients who could benefit from its orexigenic and/or GH-releasing effects. This study examined whether intranasal delivery of ghrelin, GHRP-6, or MK-0677 engages the brain ghrelin signaling system. Effective compounds and doses were selected based on increased food intake after intranasal application in mice. Only GHRP-6 (5\u2005mg/kg) increased food intake without adverse effects, prompting detailed analysis of meal patterns, neuronal activation in the arcuate nucleus (via Fos mapping) and neurochemical identification of c-fos messenger RNA (mRNA)-expressing neurons using RNAscope. We also assessed the effect of intranasal GHRP-6 on serum GH levels. Intranasal GHRP-6 increased food intake by increasing meal frequency and size. Fos expression in the arcuate nucleus was higher in GHRP-6-treated mice than in saline controls. When examining the neurochemical identity of c-fos-mRNA-expressing neurons, we found coexpression with 63.5 \u00b1 1.9% Ghsr mRNA, 79 \u00b1 6.8% Agrp mRNA, and 11.4 \u00b1 2.5% Ghrh mRNA, demonstrating GHRP-6's ability to engage arcuate nucleus neurons involved in food intake and GH release. Additionally, intranasal GHRP-6 elevated GH serum levels. These findings suggest that intranasal GHRP-6, but not ghrelin or MK-0677, can engage the brain ghrelin signaling system.\n\nID: 39793221\nTitle: Spermidine synthase promotes liver cancer progression in a paracrine manner by altering the macrophage immunometabolic state.\nAbstract: Understanding the molecular mechanisms of adaptive regulation in the tumor microenvironment is crucial for precision therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We hypothesized that cargo proteins carried by extracellular vesicles (EVs) released in a hypoxic microenvironment might promote HCC progression by remodeling tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). EV protein analysis by label-free proteomics mass spectrometry of HCC cell lines of different tumor grades was performed. The promotional effect if spermidine synthase\uff08SRM\uff09 on M2 polarized TAMs was further investigated using various biological approaches. SRM expression was positively correlated with liver cancer progression in HCC cell lines, liver cancer samples, and nude mouse models. In a mouse model, SRM expression was positively correlated with TAM infiltration and liver cancer progression. Pan-cancer dataset analysis confirmed that SRM overexpression in HCC tumors is correlated with poor patient prognosis. However, a hypoxic microenvironment is an internal driving factor for exosomal SRM that participates in microenvironmental modifications. Moreover, we defined a hitherto unknown pattern of microenvironmental crosstalk involving SRM in EVs, whereby macrophages complete the phenotypic fate of M2 tumor-associated macrophages through SRM uptake. SRM regulation within the immune microenvironment is metabolically driven. By upregulating spermidine, which serves as a substrate for eIF5A hypusination, excessive oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) assembly is achieved. This, in turn, leads to the expression of immunosuppressive marker molecules and ultimately promotes liver cancer progression. SRM, which is enriched in the EVs of HCC cells under hypoxic conditions, acts as a potent regulator linking polyamine and energy metabolism in TAMs, thereby promoting liver cancer progression.\n\nID: 39587576\nTitle: Chinese herbal medicine-derived extracellular vesicles as novel biotherapeutic tools: present and future.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer-enclosed biological particles that are secreted by almost all living cells including animals, plants, and microorganisms. Chinese herbal medicines (CHM) have a long history of using plant-based remedies to treat and prevent human diseases. Chinese herbal medicine-derived extracellular vesicle (CHMEV) generic term refers to nanoscale membrane structures isolated from medicinal plants such as ginseng, ginger, and Panax notoginseng. In recent years, CHMEVs have garnered substantial attention as a novel class of functional components due to their high bioavailability, safety, easy accessibility, and diverse therapeutic effects, indicating their great potential for development as a new dosage form of CHM. Research on CHMEVs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become a prominent area of interest, opening new avenues for further exploration into the therapeutic effects and functional mechanisms of CHM. Nonetheless, as an emerging field, there is much unknown about these vesicles, and current research remains inconsistent. The review comprehensively summarizes the biogenesis, isolation methods, and physical, and biochemical characterizations of CHMEVs. Additionally, we highlight their biomedical applications as therapeutic agents and drug delivery carriers, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, regenerative, and antiaging activities. Finally, we propose current challenges and future perspectives. By summarizing the existing literature, we aim to offer valuable clues and inspiration for future CHMEV research, thereby facilitating research standardization of CHMEVs in the treatment of human diseases and drug discovery.\n\nID: 39562542\nTitle: Intranasal delivery of a subunit protein vaccine provides protective immunity against JN.1 and XBB-lineage variants.\nAbstract: The mucosal immune response plays a crucial role in the prevention of respiratory viruses. Given the risk of recurrent SARS-CoV-2 infections in the population, the rapid development of next-generation intranasal COVID-19 vaccines with high safety and efficacy is paramount. In the current study, we developed a protein-based intranasal vaccine comprising the XBB.1.5 receptor binding domain (RBD)-derived trimeric recombinant protein (RBDXBB.1.5-HR) and an MF59-like oil-in-water adjuvant. Intranasal administration of RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine elicited robust and sustained humoral immune responses in mice and rats, resulting in high levels of neutralizing antibodies against XBB-lineage subvariants, with protection lasting for at least six months. The intranasal RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine generated potent mucosal immune responses, characterized by the inductions of tissue-resident T (TRM) cells, local cellular immunity, germinal center, and memory B cell responses in the respiratory tract. The combination of intramuscular and intranasal delivery of the RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine demonstrated exceptional systemic and mucosal protective immunity. Furthermore, intranasal delivery of RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine as a heterologous booster shot showed more effective boosting effects after mRNA administration compared to homologous vaccination, as evidenced by the induction of superior systemic and extra mucosal immune response. Importantly, the intranasal RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine conferred efficient protection against the challenge with authentic EG.5.1 viruses in vivo. These findings identify the intranasal RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine as a potential mucosal vaccine candidate for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection.\n\nID: 39534380\nTitle: Nasal mRNA Nanovaccine with Key Activators of Dendritic and MAIT Cells for Effective Against Lung Tumor Metastasis in Mice Model.\nAbstract: Lung metastasis is a leading cause of cancer-related death. mRNA-based cancer vaccines\u00a0have\u00a0been\u00a0demonstrated to be effective at inhibiting tumor growth. Intranasal immunization has emerged as a more effective method of inducing local immune responses against cancer cells in the lungs. An innovative layered double hydroxide- and 5-OP-RU-based\u00a0mRNA nanovaccine (Mg/Al LDH-5-OP-RU/mRNA) was synthesized via coprecipitation. The particle size distribution and zeta potential were measured, and the nanovaccine was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The functions and properties of the nanovaccine were evaluated via an mRNA-targeted delivery assay and measurement of dendritic cell (DC) and mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell maturation and activation. In addition, the cytotoxicity, antigen-specific T cell activation, cytokines, protective ability, and therapeutic ability of the nanovaccine were assessed in a mouse tumor model. Further, the immune cell composition was evaluated in tumors. The Mg/Al LDH-5-OP-RU/mRNA nanovaccine was efficiently\u00a0delivered into lung-draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs), and it activated dendritic cells (DCs) and mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells after intranasal administration. Moreover, the optimized dual-activating mRNA nanovaccine\u00a0efficiently transfected\u00a0DC cells\u00a0and expressed antigen\u00a0proteins\u00a0in DC cells. An HPV-associated tumor model revealed that the intranasal delivery\u00a0of the Mg/Al LDH-5-OP-RU/E7 mRNA nanovaccine\u00a0significantly prevented the lung metastasis of tumors and had a therapeutic effect on established\u00a0metastatic tumor nodules\u00a0in the lungs. Mechanistically,\u00a0the enhanced activation of DC and MAIT cells induced by the Mg/Al LDH-5-OP-RU/E7 mRNA nanovaccine increased the production of immune-stimulating cytokines and decreased the secretion of immunosuppressive cytokines, which led to the expansion and activation of memory T cells targeting the E7 antigen, a reduction in the population of neutrophils, and differentiation of tumor -associated macrophages to the M1 phenotype in the lungs. These results highlight the potential of the innovative\u00a0nasal mRNA nanovaccine for both preventing and treating tumor metastasis in the lungs.\n\nID: 39460337\nTitle: Intranasal Trans-Sialidase Vaccine Mitigates Acute and Chronic Pathology in a Preclinical Oral Chagas Disease Model.\nAbstract: Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, leads to severe complications in 30% of infected individuals, including acute myocarditis and chronic fibrosing cardiomyopathy. Despite the significant burden of this disease, there is currently no licensed vaccine available to prevent it. This study aimed to evaluate the mucosal and systemic immunogenicity as well as the prophylactic efficacy of a mucosal vaccine candidate and its impact on both acute and chronic cardiomyopathy. The results showed that the nasal administration of trans-sialidase (TS) plus c-di-AMP (TS+A) vaccine elicited a NALT expression of IFN-\u03b3, IL-17a and IL-4 mRNA as well as a nasal-specific production of IgA. An in vivo challenge with TS also triggered increased proliferation of lymphocytes from the NALT, sentinel cervical lymph node, and spleen. TS+A immunization increased the plasma levels of Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines and elicited an evident cellular response by which to judge enhanced delayed-type hypersensitivity responses following a TS footpad challenge. After oral infection, TS+A-vaccinated mice showed significantly reduced parasitemia and parasite load in the heart, muscles and intestines, while markers of hepatic and muscle damage as well as clinical manifestations of acute infection were strongly diminished. TS+A also attenuated acute myocarditis and the expression of inflammatory markers in the heart. The protection conferred by TS+A extended into the chronic phase, where it resulted in a clear reduction in chronic myocarditis, fibrosis and functional electrocardiographic abnormalities, associated with a decreased expression of the pro-fibrotic TGF-\u03b2. These results revealed that it is possible to develop a mucosal vaccine against T. cruzi based on TS and c-di-AMP that is capable of reducing the development of Chagas cardiomyopathy, the hallmark of Chagas disease.\n\nID: 39449544\nTitle: Platelet Extracellular Vesicles Loaded Gelatine Hydrogels for Wound Care.\nAbstract: Platelet extracellular vesicles (pEVs)\u00a0isolated from clinical-grade human platelet concentrates\u00a0are attracting attention as a promising agent for wound healing therapies. Although pEVs have shown potential for skin regeneration, their incorporation into wound bandages has remained limitedly explored. Herein, gelatine-based hydrogel (PAH-G) foams for pEVs loading and release are formulated by crosslinking gelatine with poly(allylamine) hydrochloride (PAH) in the presence of glutaraldehyde and sodium bicarbonate. The optimized PAH-G hydrogel foam, PAH0.24G37, displayed an elastic modulus G' = 8.5 kPa at 37\u00a0\u00b0C and retained a rubbery state at elevated temperatures. The excellent swelling properties of PAH0.24G37 allowed to easily absorb pEVs at high concentration (1\u00a0\u00d7\u00a01011 particles mL-1). The therapeutic effect of pEVs was evaluated in vivo on a chronic wound rat model. These studies demonstrated full wound closure after 14 days upon treatment with PAH0.24G37@pEVs. The maintenance of a reduced-inflammatory environment from the onset of treatment promoted a quicker transition to skin remodeling. Promotion of follicle activation and angiogenesis as well as M1-M2 macrophage modulation are evidenced. Altogether, the multifunctional properties of PAH0.24G37@pEVs addressed the complex challenges associated with chronic diabetic wounds, representing a significant advance toward personalized treatment regimens for these conditions.\n\nID: 39361652\nTitle: Intestinal Lactobacillus murinus-derived small RNAs target porcine polyamine metabolism.\nAbstract: Gut microbiota plays a vital role in host metabolism; however, the influence of gut microbes on polyamine metabolism is unknown. Here, we found germ-free models possess elevated polyamine levels in the colon. Mechanistically, intestinal Lactobacillus murinus-derived small RNAs in extracellular vesicles down-regulate host polyamine metabolism by targeting the expression of enzymes in polyamine metabolism. In addition, Lactobacillus murinus delays recovery of dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis by reducing polyamine levels in mice. Notably, a decline in the abundance of small RNAs was observed in the colon of mice with colorectal cancer (CRC) and human CRC specimens, accompanied by elevated polyamine levels. Collectively, our study identifies a specific underlying mechanism used by intestinal microbiota to modulate host polyamine metabolism, which provides potential intervention for the treatment of polyamine-associated diseases.\n\nID: 39217793\nTitle: Ligand-free biodegradable poly(beta-amino ester) nanoparticles for targeted systemic delivery of mRNA to the lungs.\nAbstract: Non-viral nanoparticles (NPs) have seen heightened interest as a delivery method for a variety of clinically relevant nucleic acid cargoes in recent years. While much of the focus has been on lipid NPs, non-lipid NPs, including polymeric NPs, have the possibility of improved efficacy, safety, and targeting, especially to non-liver organs following systemic administration. A safe and effective systemic approach for intracellular delivery to the lungs could overcome limitations to intratracheal/intranasal delivery of NPs and improve clinical benefit for a range of diseases including cystic fibrosis. Here, engineered biodegradable poly (beta-amino ester) (PBAE) NPs are shown to facilitate efficient delivery of mRNA to primary human airway epithelial cells from both healthy donors and individuals with cystic fibrosis. Optimized NP formulations made with differentially endcapped PBAEs and systemically administered in vivo lead to high expression of mRNA within the lungs in BALB/c and C57\u00a0B/L mice without requiring a complex targeting ligand. High levels of mRNA-based gene editing were achieved in an Ai9 mouse model across bronchial, epithelial, and endothelial cell populations. No toxicity was observed either acutely or over time, including after multiple systemic administrations of the NPs. The non-lipid biodegradable PBAE NPs demonstrate high levels of transfection in both primary human airway epithelial cells and in vivo editing of lung cell types that are targets for numerous life-limiting diseases particularly single gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis and surfactant deficiencies.\n\nID: 39194564\nTitle: Neutralizing Oxidized Phosphatidylcholine Reduces Airway Inflammation and Hyperreactivity in a Murine Model of Allergic Asthma.\nAbstract: Oxidative stress is associated with asthma pathobiology. We reported that oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs) are mediators of oxidative stress and accumulate in the lung in response to allergen challenge. The current study begins to unravel mechanisms for OxPC accumulation in the lung, providing the first insights about how OxPCs underpin allergic airway pathophysiology, and pre-clinical testing of selective neutralization of OxPCs in a murine model of allergic asthma. We hypothesized that intranasal delivery of E06, a natural IgM antibody that neutralizes the biological activity of OxPCs, can ameliorate allergen-induced airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Adult BALB/c mice were intranasally (i.n.) challenged with house dust mite (HDM) (25 \u03bcg/mouse, 2 weeks). Some animals also received E06 monoclonal antibody (mAb) (10 \u00b5g) i.n. 1 hr before each HDM challenge. HDM challenge reduced mRNA for anti-oxidant genes (SOD1, SOD2, HO-1, and NFE2L2) in the lung by several orders of magnitude (p < 0.05). Concomitantly, total immune cell number in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) increased significantly (p < 0.001). E06 mAb treatment prevented allergen-induced BALF immune cell number by 43% (p < 0.01). This included a significant blockade of eosinophils (by 48%, p < 0.001), neutrophils (by 80%, p < 0.001), macrophages (by 80%, p < 0.05), and CD4 (by 30%, p < 0.05) and CD8 (by 42%, p < 0.01) lymphocytes. E06 effects correlated with a significant reduction in TNF (by 64%, p < 0.001) and IL-1\u03b2 (by 75%, p < 0.05) and a trend to diminish accumulation of other cytokines (e.g., IL-4, -10, and -33, and IFN-\u03b3). E06 mAb treatment also inhibited HDM exposure-induced increases in total respiratory resistance and small airway resistance by 24% and 26%, respectively. In conclusion, prophylactic treatment with an OxPC-neutralizing antibody significantly limits allergen-induced airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, suggesting that OxPCs are important mediators of oxidative stress-associated allergic lung pathophysiology.\n\nID: 39064687\nTitle: Postbiotics as Molecules Targeting Cellular Events of Aging Brain-The Role in Pathogenesis, Prophylaxis and Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases.\nAbstract: Aging is the most prominent risk factor for neurodegeneration occurrence. The most common neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD) diseases, are characterized by the incidence of proteinopathy, abnormal activation of glial cells, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, impaired autophagy and cellular senescence excessive for the patient's age. Moreover, mitochondrial disfunction, epigenetic alterations and neurogenesis inhibition, together with increased blood-brain barrier permeability and gut dysbiosis, have been linked to ND pathogenesis. Since NDs still lack curative treatment, recent research has sought therapeutic options in restoring gut microbiota and supplementing probiotic bacteria-derived metabolites with beneficial action to the host-so called postbiotics. The current review focuses on literature explaining cellular mechanisms involved in ND pathogenesis and research addressing the impact that postbiotics as a whole mixture and particular metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), lactate, polyamines, polyphenols, tryptophan metabolites, exopolysaccharides and bacterial extracellular vesicles, have on the ageing-associated processes underlying ND occurrence. The review also discusses the issue of implementing postbiotics into ND prophylaxis and therapy, depicting them as compounds addressing senescence-triggered dysfunctions that are worth translating from bench to pharmaceutical market in response to \"silver consumers\" demands.\n\nID: 38964625\nTitle: Overview of Panax ginseng and its active ingredients protective mechanism on cardiovascular diseases.\nAbstract: Panax ginseng is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine used to treat cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and it is still widely used to improve the clinical symptoms of various CVDs. However, there is currently a lack of summary and analysis on the mechanism of Panax ginseng exerts its cardiovascular protective effects. This article provides a review of in vivo and in vitro pharmacological studies on Panax ginseng and its active ingredients in reducing CVDs damage. This review summarized the latest literature on Panax ginseng and its active ingredients in CVDs research, aiming to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the cardiovascular protection mechanism of Panax ginseng, and to provide new ideas for the treatment of CVDs, as well as to optimize the clinical application of Panax ginseng. Enrichment of pathways and biological terms using the traditional Chinese medicine molecular mechanism bioinformatics analysis tool (BATMAN-TCM). The literature search is based on electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, CNKI, with a search period of 2002-2023. The search terms include Panax ginseng, Panax ginseng ingredients, ginsenosides, ginseng polysaccharides, ginseng glycoproteins, ginseng volatile oil, CVDs, heart, and cardiac. 132 articles were ultimately included in the review. The ingredients in Panax ginseng that manifested cardiovascular protective effects are mainly ginsenosides (especially ginsenoside Rb1). Ginsenosides protected against CVDs such as ischemic reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis and heart failure mainly through improving energy metabolism, inhibiting hyper-autophagy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and promoting secretion of exosomes. Panax ginseng and its active ingredients have a particularly prominent effect on improving myocardial energy metabolism remodeling in protecting against CVDs. The AMPK and PPAR signaling pathways are the key targets through which Panax ginseng produces multiple mechanisms of cardiovascular protection. Extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles as carriers are potential delivery ways for optimizing the bioavailability of Panax ginseng and its active ingredients.\n\nID: 40463114\nTitle: Cryo-EM evidence for a common factor in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerations.\nAbstract: In the last seven years, cryo-EM maps of neuropathological fibrils from Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerations have been released by various authors1-44. The first publication11 noted an unknown component coordinating with lysine residues in the protein, a finding recapitulated in many succeeding studies. Previous authors have emphasized difficulties in analysing this component12,20,28,33,43,45, but current findings, using powerful visualisation software UCSF ChimeraX46 on all publicly available maps1-44, indicate that the issue is tractable. Lysine-coordinating extra densities have common features, including a Y-shaped substructure, suggestive of a molecular factor in common, in neuropathological fibrils from a wide range of neurodegenerations and involving misfolded proteins beta-amyloid10,35, alpha-synuclein27,37,39,41, prion protein17, tau1,5,7,8,11,12,15,16,19,22-26,29-33,35,43 and transmembrane protein 106B5,9,18,20,24,28,36,44. A similar component, albeit in non-lysine environments, was found in neuropathological fibrils involving TAR DNA-binding protein 432,3 and TATA-binding protein-associated factor 1536. The results suggest the existence of a common molecular factor, a predominantly anionic polymer, linking these diseases and raising the possibility of a unitary basis for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerations. Based on evidence here, RNA is a feasible candidate for this putative common factor. Such findings raise the possibility of new diagnostic tests and treatments for these devastating diseases in the future.\n\nID: 40269985\nTitle: Increased TMEM106B levels lead to lysosomal dysfunction which affects synaptic signaling and neuronal health.\nAbstract: Genetic variation in Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) is known to influence the risk and presentation in several neurodegenerative diseases and modifies healthy aging. While evidence from human studies suggests that the risk allele is associated with higher levels of TMEM106B, the contribution of elevated levels of TMEM106B to neurodegeneration and aging has not been assessed and it remains unclear how TMEM106B modulates disease risk. To study the effect of increased TMEM106B levels, we generated Cre-inducible transgenic mice expressing human wild-type TMEM106B. We evaluated lysosomal and neuronal health using in vitro and in vivo assays including transmission electron microscopy, immunostainings, behavioral testing, electrophysiology, and bulk RNA sequencing. We created the first transgenic mouse model that successfully overexpresses TMEM106B, with a 4- to 8-fold increase in TMEM106B protein levels in heterozygous (hTMEM106B(+)) and homozygous (hTMEM106B(++)) animals, respectively. We showed that the increase in TMEM106B protein levels induced lysosomal dysfunction and age-related downregulation of genes associated with neuronal plasticity, learning, and memory. Increased TMEM106B levels led to altered synaptic signaling in 12-month-old animals which further exhibited an anxiety-like phenotype. Finally, we observed mild neuronal loss in the hippocampus of 21-month-old animals. Characterization of the first transgenic mouse model that overexpresses TMEM106B suggests that higher levels of TMEM106B negatively impacts brain health by modifying brain aging and impairing the resilience of the brain to the pathomechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders. This novel model will be a valuable tool to study the involvement and contribution of increased TMEM106B levels to aging and will be essential to study the many age-related diseases in which TMEM106B was genetically shown to be a disease- and risk-modifier.\n\nID: 39711302\nTitle: TMEM106B C-terminal fragments aggregate and drive neurodegenerative proteinopathy in transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans.\nAbstract: Genetic variation in the lysosomal and transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) modifies risk for several neurodegenerative disorders, especially frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The C-terminal (CT) domain of TMEM106B occurs as fibrillar protein deposits in the brains of dementia patients. To determine the TMEM CT aggregation propensity and neurodegenerative potential, we generated transgenic\u00a0Caenorhabditis elegans\u00a0expressing the human TMEM CT fragment aggregating in FTLD cases. Pan-neuronal expression of human TMEM CT in\u00a0C. elegans\u00a0causes severe neuronal dysfunction driving neurodegeneration.\u00a0 Cytosolic aggregation of TMEM CT proteins accompanied by behavioral dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Loss of\u00a0pgrn-1\u00a0did not modify TMEM CT phenotypes suggesting TMEM CT aggregation occurs downstream of PGRN loss of function. The mechanistic drivers of TMEM106B proteinopathy appear distinct from known modifiers of tauopathy. Our data demonstrate that TMEM CT aggregation can kill neurons. TMEM106B transgenic\u00a0C.elegans\u00a0provide a useful model for characterizing TMEM106B proteinopathy-mediated neurodegeneration in FTLD. Pan-neuronal expression of human TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (TMEM CT) in C. elegans neurons drives a suite of disease-related phenotypes useful for modeling the molecular and cellular features of TMEM106B neuropathology. TMEM CT expression results in extensive TMEM aggregation and accumulation of highly detergent insoluble protein species. TMEM CT expression causes moderate to severe neuronal dysfunction dependent on TMEM CT abundance as measured by stereotypical behavioral readouts. TMEM CT expression drives significant neurodegenerative changes. Dendra2 tagged TMEM exhibits similar properties to untagged TMEM allowing ready visualization of the protein. TMEM CT aggregates accumulate adjacent to but not within lysosomes. PGRN loss of function does not impact TMEM CT toxicity. Modifiers of tau and TDP-43 proteinopathies have little impact on TMEM CT-related neurodegenerative phenotypes.\n\nID: 38915598\nTitle: TMEM106B C-terminal fragments aggregate and drive neurodegenerative proteinopathy.\nAbstract: Genetic variation in the lysosomal and transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) modifies risk for a diverse range of neurodegenerative disorders, especially frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) with progranulin (PGRN) haplo-insufficiency, although the molecular mechanisms involved are not yet understood. Through advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), homotypic aggregates of the C-Terminal domain of TMEM106B (TMEM CT) were discovered as a previously unidentified cytosolic proteinopathy in the brains of FTLD, Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) patients. While it remains unknown what role TMEM CT aggregation plays in neuronal loss, its presence across a range of aging related dementia disorders indicates involvement in multi-proteinopathy driven neurodegeneration. To determine the TMEM CT aggregation propensity and neurodegenerative potential, we characterized a novel transgenic C. elegans model expressing the human TMEM CT fragment constituting the fibrillar core seen in FTLD cases. We found that pan-neuronal expression of human TMEM CT in C. elegans causes neuronal dysfunction as evidenced by behavioral analysis. Cytosolic aggregation of TMEM CT proteins accompanied the behavioral dysfunction driving neurodegeneration, as illustrated by loss of GABAergic neurons. To investigate the molecular mechanisms driving TMEM106B proteinopathy, we explored the impact of PGRN loss on the neurodegenerative effect of TMEM CT expression. To this end, we generated TMEM CT expressing C. elegans with loss of pgrn-1, the C. elegans ortholog of human PGRN. Neither full nor partial loss of pgrn-1 altered the motor phenotype of our TMEM CT model suggesting TMEM CT aggregation occurs downstream of PGRN loss of function. We also tested the ability of genetic suppressors of tauopathy to rescue TMEM CT pathology. We found that genetic knockout of spop-1, sut-2, and sut-6 resulted in weak to no rescue of proteinopathy phenotypes, indicating that the mechanistic drivers of TMEM106B proteinopathy may be distinct from tauopathy. Taken together, our data demonstrate that TMEM CT aggregation can kill neurons. Further, expression of TMEM CT in C. elegans neurons provides a useful model for the functional characterization of TMEM106B proteinopathy in neurodegenerative disease.\n\nID: 38838131\nTitle: Peripheral expression of brain-penetrant progranulin rescues pathologies in mouse models of frontotemporal lobar degeneration.\nAbstract: Progranulin (PGRN) haploinsufficiency is a major risk factor for frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology (FTLD-GRN). Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders.\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.

Proteolytically generated C-terminal fragments of TMEM106B assemble into amyloid fibrils that accumulate in the brains of individuals with neurodegenerative disease and in cognitively normal aged adults, yet how these fibrils produce neuronal dysfunction has remained unclear. Here, we show that cytosolic and lysosome-directed TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTF and gCTF) form detergent-insoluble amyloid aggregates, drive redistribution of endogenous TDP-43 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and accelerate neuronal death. Unbiased proximity proteomics identified the inner nuclear membrane LAP1-TorsinA axis as a fragment-specific interactome, and co-immunoprecipitation confirmed a direct physical interaction between gCTF and LAP1 that was not observed with full-length TMEM106B. Fragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons. Critically, neurons harboring endogenous TMEM106B fibrillar pathology in aged human frontal cortex exhibited the same phenotypes, namely disrupted Lamin B1 and LAP1 localization and cytoplasmic redistribution of TDP-43, whereas fibril-negative neurons from the same cases and younger control tissue retained intact nuclear envelope organization. These findings define TMEM106B proteinopathy as an upstream driver of nuclear envelope disruption and nucleocytoplasmic transport failure, linking a widespread feature of brain aging to a central mechanism of neurodegeneration.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42094412 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 39503754 for the quote: \"Biondi bodies are filamentous amyloid inclusions of unknown composition in ependymal cells of the choroid plexuses...\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Their formation is age-dependent and they are commonly associated with a variety of neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body disorders. Here, we show that Biondi bodies are strongly immunoreactive with TMEM239, an antibody specific for inclusions of transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B). Biondi bodies were labelled by both this antibody and the amyloid dye pFTAA. Many Biondi bodies were also labelled for TMEM106B and the lysosomal markers Hexosaminidase A and Cathepsin D. By transmission immuno-electron microscopy, Biondi bodies of choroid plexuses were decorated by TMEM239 and were associated with structures that resembled residual bodies or secondary lysosomes. By electron cryo-microscopy, TMEM106B filaments from Biondi bodies of choroid plexuses were similar (Biondi variant), but not identical, to the\u00a0fold I that was\u00a0previously identified in\u00a0filaments from brain parenchyma.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 39503754 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 37530644 for the quote: \"Recent studies involving four research teams have revealed that amyloid fibrils in FTLD-TDP patients and cognitively healthy individuals primarily consist of TMEM106B...\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Through cryogenic electron microscopy, the studies identified various protofilament structures of TMEM106B fibrils from individuals with several neurodegenerative diseases. These findings raise new questions and opportunities for future research, as they suggest that TMEM106B plays a central role in FTLD pathology. These discoveries also prompt the need for the development of specific antibodies for fibrillar TMEM106B and necessitate further investigation of the potential mechanistic link between TMEM106B and other filamentous aggregates. The power of cryo-EM techniques is underscored in these unexpected findings and may be a vital tool for gaining further molecular insights into neurodegenerative diseases characterized by amyloid deposits.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 37530644 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41315858 for the quote: \"Most of the known genetic risk for AD can be linked to microglial phagocytosis, including ...

The main risk factor for AD is age, and ageing reduces microglial phagocytosis of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques, while increasing microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons. Most of the known genetic risk for AD can be linked to microglial phagocytosis, including ABCA1, ABI3, ACE, ADAM17, APOE, APP, BIN1, BLNK, CD2AP, CD33, CLU, CR1, CTSB, CTSH, EED, GRN, INPP5D, LILRB2, PICALM, PLCG2, PSEN1, PTK2B, SIGLEC11, SORL1, SPI1, TMEM106B and TREM2. Moreover, the only disease-modifying treatments for AD - anti-A\u03b2 antibodies - work by increasing microglial phagocytosis of A\u03b2 aggregates. Microglial phagocytosis of A\u03b2 via TREM2, LRP1, CD33, TAM receptors and anti-A\u03b2 antibodies appears to reduce AD pathology by pruning and compacting plaques, restricting subsequent tau pathology, whereas microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons seems detrimental in the later stages of AD, via complement, P2Y6\u00a0receptor and TREM2. However, the roles of microglial phagocytosis in AD are complex and multifaceted, and improved treatments are likely to require a deeper understanding of these roles.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41315858 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA.\" (Source: 41177462)\n- \"After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway.\" (Source: 41177462)\n- \"Using lysosome immunoprecipitation, we show that granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes in Grn-knockout mice and GRN-null human iPSC-derived neurons.\" (Source: 41929021)\n- \"Isogenic neurons carrying the TMEM106B risk allele displayed allele-dose-dependent fragment accumulation that was reversible by progranulin.\" (Source: 41929021)\n- \"Fragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons.\" (Source: 42094412)\n- \"In GRN-mutation carriers, in whom fibril burden is greatest, fibrils extrude through ruptured lysosomal membranes.\" (Source: 41929000)\n- \"Here, we show that Biondi bodies are strongly immunoreactive with TMEM239, an antibody specific for inclusions of transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B).\" (Source: 39503754)\n- \"Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicle administration significantly reduced motor dysfunction in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-induced Parkinson's disease mice by protecting dopaminergic neurons.\" (Source: 42322649)\n- \"We found that TMEM106B deficiency significantly decreases levels of two major classes of myelin lipids, galactosylceramide and its sulfated derivative sulfatide.\" (Source: 39237682)\n- \"We confirm that in the brain, inclusions were most abundant in astrocytes.\" (Source: 38886865)\n- \"This study demonstrated high affinity of [18F]PM-PBB3 for TMEM106B aggregates in the choroid plexus.\" (Source: 39647268)\n- \"Cytosolic aggregation of TMEM CT proteins accompanied by behavioral dysfunction and neurodegeneration.\" (Source: 39711302)\n- \"TMEM CT aggregates accumulate adjacent to but not within lysosomes.\" (Source: 39711302)\n- \"AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain.\" (Source: 38838131)\n- \"In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex.\" (Source: 40978531)\n- \"Myristoylation decreases TMEM106B levels by promoting its lysosomal degradation.\" (Source: 40451428)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

The evidence confirms: (1) S-GEVs effectively deliver cargo intranasally to brain neurons; (2) progranulin deficiency promotes TMEM106B C-terminal fragment (CTF) accumulation in lysosomes; (3) TMEM106B amyloid fibrils trigger nucleocytoplasmic transport failure, Lamin B1 disruption, and TDP-43 mislocalization; and (4) these pathways are involved in neurodegenerative proteinopathies. However, the provided literature contains no mention of \"MARK2-eIF2\u03b1-driven RAN translation,\" \"dipeptide repeat clogging of FG-nucleoporins,\" or \"p38-Lamin B1-dependent Karyoptosis.\" Consequently, the hypothesis contains speculative mechanisms beyond the current provided evidence.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific synthesis: Intranasal delivery of engineered extracellular vesicles provides a viable pathway for neuroprotective gene therapy. Lysosomal dysfunction linked to granulin (GRN) deficiency and TMEM106B fibrillization leads to nuclear envelope disruption and nucleocytoplasmic transport failure. While the literature supports the efficacy of intranasal S-GEVs and the role of TMEM106B-driven nuclear pathology, the specific involvement of MARK2-eIF2\u03b1-mediated translation or the \"Karyoptosis\" construct remains outside the provided evidence base.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe therapeutic promise of intranasal delivery using plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) rests on their capacity to traverse biological barriers. \"To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA.\" This methodology exploits olfactory pathways, as \"After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway.\" \n\nPathologically, neurodegeneration is heavily influenced by the lysosomal protein TMEM106B, where \"Using lysosome immunoprecipitation, we show that granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes in Grn-knockout mice and GRN-null human iPSC-derived neurons.\" The aggregation of these fragments results in clear cellular toxicity, as \"Cytosolic aggregation of TMEM CT proteins accompanied by behavioral dysfunction and neurodegeneration.\" Furthermore, the aggregation is not isolated to healthy lysosomal function, but instead influences structural integrity: \"Fragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons.\" These findings illustrate a critical pathway from lysosomal stress to nuclear envelope failure.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   TMEM106B C-terminal fragments form amyloid filaments that exist in both aging healthy brains and those of patients with diverse proteinopathies.\n*   Myristoylation is a key post-translational regulator that decreases TMEM106B levels via lysosomal degradation.\n*   TMEM106B interacts directly with galactosylceramidase, linking the protein to myelin lipid metabolism.\n*   Intranasal delivery systems, including those using plant-derived vesicles, have been shown to rescue motor neuron function in Parkinson's models.\n*   Biondi bodies, found in the choroid plexus, are major reservoirs of TMEM106B amyloid fibrils.\n*   Genetic variants in TMEM106B modify the proportion of specific cell subtypes in the brain, impacting cognitive resilience.\n*   There is a convergent neurodegeneration mechanism where fibrils extrude through ruptured lysosomal membranes in GRN-mutation carriers.\n*   Intranasal delivery of mRNA therapeutics is increasingly feasible using Rayleigh breakup aerosolization to prevent mechanical shear damage.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

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.

It has been proposed that polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex (NPC), accumulation in the nucleolus, and direct interactions with transport receptors. The NPC, which is the key regulator of transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus, plays a central role in these suggested mechanisms. Exploring polyPR interaction with the NPC provides valuable insight into the molecular details of polyPR-mediated NCT defects. To address this, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics models of polyPR and the yeast NPC lined with intrinsically disordered FG-nucleoporins (FG-Nups). Our findings indicate no aggregation of polyPR within the NPC or permanent binding to FG-Nups. Instead, polyPR translocates through the NPC, following a trajectory through the central low-density region of the pore. In the case of longer polyPRs, we observe a higher energy barrier for translocation and a narrower translocation channel. Our study shows that polyPR and FG-Nups are mainly engaged in steric interactions inside\u00a0the NPC with only a small contribution of specific cation-pi, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions, allowing polyPR to overcome the entropic barrier of the NPC in a size-dependent manner."

The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS."

Intranasal delivery provides a promising alternative by exploiting olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to circumvent the BBB. This review surveys recent advances in nose-to-brain delivery technologies, from carrier design to evaluation methods. Polymeric and lipid-based nanocarriers show enhanced mucosal penetration and prolonged residence time, and microneedle platforms further enable controlled drug release with minimal discomfort. To evaluate these delivery strategies, sensor-integrated organ-on-chip models provide more physiologically relevant testing than static cultures.

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."

Recently, we have shown a novel pathway of EV biogenesis in PCa cell lines, PC3 and PC3M. However, as the characteristics of EVs are divergent even among PCa cell lines, we hypothesized that other pathways or common regulatory pathways of EV biogenesis still exist. Here, we performed quantitative high-throughput screening to determine the key regulatory genes involved in EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells, which secrete a different type of EVs. In total, 1728 miRNAs were screened and miR-1908 was selected as the potential miRNA regulating EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells. Subsequently, we investigated target genes of miR-1908 using siRNA screening and identified that spermidine synthase (SRM) was the key regulator of EV secretion in 22Rv1 cells. Attenuation of SRM expression significantly inhibited secretion of EVs in 22Rv1 cells, and overexpression of SRM was confirmed in PCa tissues. Furthermore, we found that the number of endosome compartments was increased in cellular cytoplasm after knockdown of the SRM gene. In conclusion, our results showed that miR-1908-mediated regulation of SRM can control secretion of EVs in PCa. In addition, these data suggested that the EV secretion pathway was dependent on cellular characteristics."

Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models.

This challenge has shifted attention toward drug delivery strategies that improve bioavailability, targeting, and patient accessibility. Intranasal delivery has emerged as a promising, non-invasive approach that bypasses the blood-brain barrier, and improves patient compliance. Lipid-based systems, especially following the success of COVID-19 vaccines, have gained attention as versatile platforms for delivering RNAs. Their ability to encapsulate diverse payloads and tunable composition makes them ideal candidates for targeting neurodegenerative disorders via the intranasal route. This review discusses recent advances in intranasal delivery for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, emphasizing on lipid-based nanoparticles. It addresses formulation challenges such as stability, targeting efficiency, and compatibility with nasal physiology, and outlines key design parameters affecting brain delivery. Future directions are explored to advance formulation development and clinical translation. Intranasal lipid-based drug delivery represents a promising strategy to bypass the blood-brain barrier in neurogenerative disorder treatment. Although regulatory gaps and the absence of long-term safety evaluation, intranasal administration offers clear advantages for CNS targeting underscoring strong potential for future clinical translation."

They are released by cells into the surrounding extracellular environment and vary in size, composition, and biogenesis pathways. Beyond their natural role in intercellular communication, mediating the transfer of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (like mRNA and miRNA) between cells, EVs have emerged as a highly versatile and promising therapeutic platform for a range of challenging disorders, particularly those affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and various cancers. The CNS presents unique therapeutic challenges, notably the formidable blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts the entry of most conventional drugs. EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications. This characteristic positions them as ideal nanocarriers for delivering therapeutic payloads such as neurotrophic factors, gene therapy constructs, or anti-inflammatory agents directly to target neural cells for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, and even glioblastoma. Their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity further reduce systemic side effects, making them a safer alternative to synthetic delivery systems. This review outlines recent progress in extraction techniques using EVs for treating neurological disorders. It covers clinical applications in neurodegenerative, infectious diseases, inflammatory, genetic, and oncological diseases and highlights current limitations and considerations for advancing future research in this evolving field."

Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders."

Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH) are key enzymes that utilize spermidine to catalyze the post-translational hypusination of the translation factor EIF5A (EIF5AH). Here, we have found that hepatic DOHH mRNA expression is decreased in patients and mice with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and hepatic cells treated with fatty acids. The mouse and cell culture models of NASH have concomitant decreases in Eif5aH and mitochondrial protein synthesis which leads to lower mitochondrial activity and fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation. Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH, and prevents NASH progression in vivo. Thus, the disrupted DHPS-DOHH-EIF5AH pathway during NASH represents a therapeutic target to increase hepatic protein synthesis and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and prevent NASH progression."

Toxic dipeptide repeats (DPRs) are synthesized from GGGGCC via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. Here, we develop C. elegans models that express, either ubiquitously or exclusively in neurons, 75 GGGGCC repeats flanked by intronic C9orf72 sequence. The worms generate DPRs (poly-glycine-alanine [poly-GA], poly-glycine-proline [poly-GP]) and poly-glycine-arginine [poly-GR]), display neurodegeneration, and exhibit locomotor and lifespan defects. Mutation of a non-canonical translation-initiating codon (CUG) upstream of the repeats selectively reduces poly-GA steady-state levels and ameliorates disease, suggesting poly-GA is pathogenic. Importantly, loss-of-function mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D (eif-2D/eIF2D) reduce poly-GA and poly-GP levels, and increase lifespan in both C. elegans models.

However, genetic engineering fruit-specific expression of heterologous yeast S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) decarboxylase in tomato has been found to result in a high accumulation of SPD and SPM at the cost of PUT. This system enabled a genetic approach to determine the impact of increased endogenous levels of biogenic amines SPD and SPM in tomato (579HO transgenic line) and on the biogenesis, transcription, processing, and stability of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes in tomato fruit as compared with the non-transgenic 556AZ line. One major biogenetic process regulating transcription and processing of pre-mRNA complexes in the nucleus involves small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). To determine the effect of high levels of SPD and SPM on these latter processes, we cloned, sequenced, and identified a box C/D snoRNA cluster in tomato, namely, SlSnoR12, SlU24a, Slz44a, and Slz132b. Similar to this snoRNA cluster housed on chromosome (Chr.) 6, two other noncoding C/D box genes, SlsnoR12.2 and SlU24b, with a 94% identity to those on Chr. 6 were found located on Chr. 3. We also found that other snoRNAs divisible into snoRNA subclusters A and B, separated by a uridine rich spacer, were decorated with other C/D box snoRNAs, namely, J10.3, Z131a/b, J10.1, and Z44a, followed by z132a, J11.3, z132b, U24, Z20, U24a, and J11. Several of these, for example, SlZ44a, Slz132b, and SlU24a share conserved sequences similar to those in Arabidopsis and rice. RNAseq analysis of high SPD/SPM transgenic tomatoes (579HO line) showed significant enrichment of RNA polymerases, ribosomal, and translational protein genes at the breaker+8 ripening stage as compared with the 556AZ control. Thus, these results indicate that SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner."

A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease."

The blood-brain barrier (BBB), systemic toxicity, and first-pass metabolism are key obstacles. These factors limit the effective drug delivery to the brain. Intranasal administration has emerged as a noninvasive strategy to bypass the BBB. This approach enables direct drug delivery to the brain through the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways, commonly referred to as nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery. In this context, chitosan (CS), a biocompatible and mucoadhesive polysaccharide with permeation-enhancing properties, has gained significant interest as a functional material for nanoparticle (NP) engineering. CS-based or CS-coated NP can prolong the residence time on the nasal mucosa and facilitate drug transport to the CNS. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in CS-based NP for N2B drug delivery across a range of CNS disorders, including neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, neoplastic, and infectious conditions. Particular attention is given to formulation strategies, mechanistic insights, and preclinical outcomes. Recent patent applications are surveyed to underscore the translational potential and commercial interest in this technology. Collectively, CS-based NPs effectively address major therapeutic barriers, establishing a transformative and innovative platform in CNS drug delivery."

While the provided literature supports the individual components\u2014S-GEVs for intranasal delivery, suppression of RAN translation by manipulating initiation factors like eIF2D or MARK2, and the management of TMEM106B amyloid accumulation via progranulin\u2014the literature does not contain evidence for \"p38-Lamin B1-dependent Karyoptosis.\" This specific pathway appears to be absent from the provided source material; therefore, the hypothesis cannot be fully validated as a unified mechanism.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe therapeutic challenge of C9orf72-linked neurodegeneration involves overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and modulating non-canonical protein synthesis. Nanocarriers, particularly S-GEVs, leverage olfactory and trigeminal pathways to deliver therapeutics directly to the brain. Once in the CNS, the literature establishes that \"To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles\" (ID: 41177462). The underlying mechanism of neurodegeneration relies on repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation, where \"identify microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2) as a key eIF2\u03b1 kinase that enhances RAN translation under proteotoxic stress\" (ID: 41231952). The accumulation of toxic dipeptide repeats (DPRs) leads to cellular pathology, where \"polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex\" (ID: 39205388). Furthermore, lysosomal health is critical, as \"granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes\" (ID: 41929021). Supplementation is a known strategy, as \"Recombinant progranulin supplementation reduced TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation\" (ID: 41929021). The integration of these elements into a single pathway, however, lacks evidence for the specific \"Karyoptosis\" claim, which represents a significant gap in the provided literature.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Intranasal Efficiency**: The intranasal route bypasses the BBB to achieve higher bioavailability, as \"Intranasal delivery provides a promising alternative by exploiting olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to circumvent the BBB.\" (ID: 42076632).\n*   **Nanoparticle Targeting**: Spermidine modification is a functional strategy because \"nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy\" (ID: 41177462).\n*   **RAN Translation Regulation**: Targeting the eIF2 complex is effective, as \"loss-of-function mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D (eif-2D/eIF2D) reduce poly-GA and poly-GP levels\" (ID: 34654821).\n*   **Lysosomal Dysfunction**: The protein TMEM106B is not just a risk modifier but an amyloid precursor, as \"recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains.\" (ID: 39237682).\n*   **EV Therapeutic Potential**: Extracellular vesicles are inherently capable of transport, as \"EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications.\" (ID: 41205008).\n*   **Polyamine Modulation**: Spermidine impacts metabolism significantly, as \"Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH\" (ID: 36057633).\n*   **Transcriptional Control**: snoRNA clusters are influenced by polyamines, as \"SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner.\" (ID: 33291784).\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

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: 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: 40978531\nTitle: Nose-to-brain siRNA delivery by PEI/PPI-based nanoparticles reduces \u03b1-synuclein expression in a Parkinson's disease mouse model.\nAbstract: Potential strategies to develop new treatments for Parkinson's disease (PD) aim at targeting disease-associated proteins like alpha-synuclein (aSyn), which accumulates in neurons of PD patients and contributes to neuronal degeneration. A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease.\n\nID: 40541182\nTitle: Arachidonic acid triggers spermidine synthase secretion from primary tumor to induce skeletal muscle weakness upon irradiation.\nAbstract: Radiotherapy reduces the risk of cancer recurrence and death, but the fact that it's accompanied by multiple side effects including muscle fibrosis and weakness, seriously affects the life quality of patients. However, the underlying mechanism is poorly defined. Here, we identify that cancer cells secrete more spermidine synthase (SRM) enzyme through small extracellular vesicles to trigger skeletal muscle weakness upon radiotherapy. Mechanistically, irradiation-triggered arachidonic acid (ArA) accumulation elevates the ISGylation of the SRM protein, facilitating SRM packaging into extracellular vesicles from the primary tumor. Circulating SRM results in spermidine accumulation in skeletal muscle and type I collagen fiber biosynthesis in an eIF5A-dependent manner. However, losartan treatment blocks the ISGylation of SRM and its subsequent secretion. Collectively, our findings determine that ArA functions in concert for circulating SRM secretion upon radiotherapy, which aggravates skeletal muscle fibrosis through rewiring polyamine metabolism, shedding light on the alleviation of radiotherapy-mediated muscle weakness when combined with losartan treatment.\n\nID: 39830652\nTitle: Insulin and TLR4 Inhibitor Improve Motor Impairments in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease.\nAbstract: Insulin resistance is an important pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Proinflammatory cytokines during neuroinflammation decrease insulin sensitivity by suppressing insulin signaling elements. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), the main receptor involved in neuroinflammation, is also associated with the pathogenesis of PD. The present study evaluated the effect of insulin, an insulin receptor antagonist, and a TLR4 inhibitor on behavioral deficits and insulin resistance induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Male Wistar rats were divided into nine groups: (1) sham (normal saline [NS] in the medial forebrain bundle [MFB]); (2) 6-OHDA (20 \u00b5g in the MFB); (3) 6-OHDA + NS; (4) 6-OHDA + dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); (5) 6-OHDA + insulin (2.5 IU/day, intracerebroventricular ([ICV]); (6) 6-OHDA + insulin (5 IU/day, intranasal [IN]); (7) 6-OHDA + insulin receptor antagonist (S961; 6.5 nM/kg, ICV); (8) 6-OHDA + TLR4 inhibitor (TAK242; 0.01 \u00b5g/rat, ICV); (9) 6-OHDA + insulin + TLR4 inhibitor. All treatments were administered for seven consecutive days. Motor performance was evaluated using apomorphine-induced rotation and cylinder tests. Gene expression and protein levels of \u03b1-synuclein, TLR4, insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 1, IRS2, and glycogen synthase kinase 3\u03b2 (GSK3\u03b2) were measured by real-time PCR and western blotting, respectively, in the striatum. Insulin, alone and with TAK242, improved motor deficits induced by 6-OHDA. Administration of the insulin receptor antagonist had no effect on motor deficits. The increased expression of \u03b1-synuclein and TLR4 following 6-OHDA was attenuated by insulin and TAK242. GSK3\u03b2 levels, both mRNA and protein, were significantly increased by 6-OHDA and attenuated with insulin and TAK242. The findings suggest that 6-OHDA induces neurodegeneration via activation of TLR4 and GSK3\u03b2, indicating insulin resistance, and that insulin can improve these impairments. Moreover, TLR4 inhibition prevents insulin signaling dysfunction and improves behavioral and molecular impairments, highlighting the critical role of TLR4 in the development of insulin resistance in PD pathology.\n\nID: 39793221\nTitle: Spermidine synthase promotes liver cancer progression in a paracrine manner by altering the macrophage immunometabolic state.\nAbstract: Understanding the molecular mechanisms of adaptive regulation in the tumor microenvironment is crucial for precision therapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We hypothesized that cargo proteins carried by extracellular vesicles (EVs) released in a hypoxic microenvironment might promote HCC progression by remodeling tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). EV protein analysis by label-free proteomics mass spectrometry of HCC cell lines of different tumor grades was performed. The promotional effect if spermidine synthase\uff08SRM\uff09 on M2 polarized TAMs was further investigated using various biological approaches. SRM expression was positively correlated with liver cancer progression in HCC cell lines, liver cancer samples, and nude mouse models. In a mouse model, SRM expression was positively correlated with TAM infiltration and liver cancer progression. Pan-cancer dataset analysis confirmed that SRM overexpression in HCC tumors is correlated with poor patient prognosis. However, a hypoxic microenvironment is an internal driving factor for exosomal SRM that participates in microenvironmental modifications. Moreover, we defined a hitherto unknown pattern of microenvironmental crosstalk involving SRM in EVs, whereby macrophages complete the phenotypic fate of M2 tumor-associated macrophages through SRM uptake. SRM regulation within the immune microenvironment is metabolically driven. By upregulating spermidine, which serves as a substrate for eIF5A hypusination, excessive oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) assembly is achieved. This, in turn, leads to the expression of immunosuppressive marker molecules and ultimately promotes liver cancer progression. SRM, which is enriched in the EVs of HCC cells under hypoxic conditions, acts as a potent regulator linking polyamine and energy metabolism in TAMs, thereby promoting liver cancer progression.\n\nID: 39205388\nTitle: C9orf72 polyPR interaction with the nuclear pore complex.\nAbstract: The C9orf72 gene associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia is translated to five dipeptide repeat proteins, among which poly-proline-arginine (PR) is the most toxic in cell and animal models, contributing to a variety of cellular defects. It has been proposed that polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex (NPC), accumulation in the nucleolus, and direct interactions with transport receptors. The NPC, which is the key regulator of transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus, plays a central role in these suggested mechanisms. Exploring polyPR interaction with the NPC provides valuable insight into the molecular details of polyPR-mediated NCT defects. To address this, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics models of polyPR and the yeast NPC lined with intrinsically disordered FG-nucleoporins (FG-Nups). Our findings indicate no aggregation of polyPR within the NPC or permanent binding to FG-Nups. Instead, polyPR translocates through the NPC, following a trajectory through the central low-density region of the pore. In the case of longer polyPRs, we observe a higher energy barrier for translocation and a narrower translocation channel. Our study shows that polyPR and FG-Nups are mainly engaged in steric interactions inside\u00a0the NPC with only a small contribution of specific cation-pi, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions, allowing polyPR to overcome the entropic barrier of the NPC in a size-dependent manner.\n\nID: 33975150\nTitle: Oxytocin receptor is a potential biomarker of the hyporesponsive HPA axis subtype of PTSD and might be modulated by HPA axis reactivity traits in humans and mice.\nAbstract: This study aimed to identify yet unavailable blood biomarkers for the responsive and the hyporesponsive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis subtypes of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As, I, we recently discovered the intranasal neuropeptide oxytocin to reduce experimentally provoked PTSD symptoms, II, expression of its receptor (OXTR) has hitherto not been assessed in PTSD patients, and III, oxytocin and OXTR have previously been related to the HPA axis, we considered both as suitable candidates. During a Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), we compared serum oxytocin and blood OXTR mRNA concentrations between female PTSD patients, their HPA axis reactivity subtypes and sex and age-matched healthy controls (HC). At baseline, both candidates differentiated the hyporesponsive HPA axis subtype from HC, however, only baseline OXTR mRNA discriminated also between subtypes. Furthermore, in the hyporesponsive HPA axis subgroup, OXTR mRNA levels correlated with PTSD symptoms and changed markedly during the TSST. To assess the influence of (traumatic) stress on the cerebral expression of oxytocin and its receptor and to test their suitability as biomarkers for the mouse PTSD-like syndrome, we then analyzed oxytocin, its mRNA (Oxt) and Oxtr mRNA in three relevant brain regions and Oxt in blood of a PTSD mouse model. To further explore the HPA axis reactivity subtype dependency of OXTR, we compared cerebral OXTR protein expression between mice exhibiting two different HPA axis reactivity traits, i.e., FK506 binding protein 51 knockout vs. wildtype mice. In summary, blood OXTR mRNA emerged as a potential biomarker of the hyporesponsive HPA axis PTSD subtype and prefrontal cortical Oxtr and Oxt of the mouse PTSD-like syndrome. Moreover, we found first translational evidence for a HPA axis responsivity trait-dependent regulation of OXTR expression. The lack of a cohort of the (relatively rare) hyporesponsive HPA axis subtype of HC is a limitation of our study.\n\nID: 32810825\nTitle: Anti-\u03b1-synuclein ASO delivered to monoamine neurons prevents \u03b1-synuclein accumulation in a Parkinson's disease-like mouse model and in monkeys.\nAbstract: Progressive neuronal death in monoaminergic nuclei and widespread accumulation of \u03b1-synuclein are neuropathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD). Given that \u03b1-synuclein may be an early mediator of the pathological cascade that ultimately leads to neurodegeneration, decreased \u03b1-synuclein synthesis will abate neurotoxicity if delivered to the key affected neurons. We used a non-viral gene therapy based on a new indatraline-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide (IND-ASO) to disrupt the \u03b1-synuclein mRNA transcription selectively in monoamine neurons of a PD-like mouse model and elderly nonhuman primates. Molecular, cell biology, histological, neurochemical and behavioral assays were performed. Intracerebroventricular and intranasal IND-ASO administration for four weeks in a mouse model with AAV-mediated wild-type human \u03b1-synuclein overexpression in dopamine neurons prevented the synthesis and accumulation of \u03b1-synuclein in the connected brain regions, improving dopamine neurotransmission. Likewise, the four-week IND-ASO treatment led to decreased levels of endogenous \u03b1-synuclein protein in the midbrain monoamine nuclei of nonhuman primates, which are affected early in PD. The inhibition of \u03b1-synuclein production in dopamine neurons and its accumulation in cortical/striatal projection areas may alleviate the early deficits of dopamine function, showing the high translational value of antisense oligonucleotides as a disease modifying therapy for PD and related synucleinopathies.

Previously, we have synthesized small peptides corresponding to the fragments (60-76) (P1) and (60-62) (P2) of the RAGE extracellular domain, and have shown that administration of P1 fragment but not P2 results in restoration of the spatial memory and decreases the brain A\u03b2 (1-40) level in olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) mice demonstrating main features of Alzheimer's type neurodegeneration. In the present study, we have investigated the supposed mechanism of the therapeutic efficacy of P1 RAGE fragment and compared it to P2 short fragment. We have found that P1 restored activities of the respiratory chain in the Complexes I and IV in both cortical and hippocampal mitochondria of the OBX mice while P2 had no effect. Besides, fluorescein-labeled analog Flu-P1 bound to A\u03b2 (1-40) and A\u03b2 (1-42) with high affinity (Kd in the nanomolar range) whereas Flu-P2 revealed low affinity with tenfold higher Kd value for A\u03b2 (1-40) and did not bind to A\u03b2 (1-42). However, neither of the peptides had a notable impact on inflammation, estimated as mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines in the brain tissues of OBX mice. Taken together, our results suggest that direct A\u03b2-P1 interaction is one of the molecular events mediating the protection of the mitochondria in OBX animals from A\u03b2 toxic effect. The RAGE fragment P1 would be the soluble decoy for A\u03b2s and serve as a promising therapeutic agent against neurodegeneration accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction.\n\nID: 32558033\nTitle: The miR-1908/SRM regulatory axis contributes to extracellular vesicle secretion in prostate cancer.\nAbstract: Targeting extracellular vesicle (EV) secretion can have potential clinical implications for cancer therapy, however the precise regulatory mechanisms of EV secretion are not fully understood. Recently, we have shown a novel pathway of EV biogenesis in PCa cell lines, PC3 and PC3M. However, as the characteristics of EVs are divergent even among PCa cell lines, we hypothesized that other pathways or common regulatory pathways of EV biogenesis still exist. Here, we performed quantitative high-throughput screening to determine the key regulatory genes involved in EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells, which secrete a different type of EVs. In total, 1728 miRNAs were screened and miR-1908 was selected as the potential miRNA regulating EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells. Subsequently, we investigated target genes of miR-1908 using siRNA screening and identified that spermidine synthase (SRM) was the key regulator of EV secretion in 22Rv1 cells. Attenuation of SRM expression significantly inhibited secretion of EVs in 22Rv1 cells, and overexpression of SRM was confirmed in PCa tissues. Furthermore, we found that the number of endosome compartments was increased in cellular cytoplasm after knockdown of the SRM gene. In conclusion, our results showed that miR-1908-mediated regulation of SRM can control secretion of EVs in PCa. In addition, these data suggested that the EV secretion pathway was dependent on cellular characteristics.\n\nID: 29738851\nTitle: Intranasally delivered small interfering RNA-mediated suppression of scavenger receptor Mac-1 attenuates microglial phenotype switching and working memory impairment following hypoxia.\nAbstract: Brain, being the highest consumer of oxygen, is prone to increased risk of hypoxia-induced neurological insults. In response to hypoxia, microglia, the major resident immune cells of brain switches to an activated phenotype and promote inflammatory responses leading to tissue damage and loss of cognitive functions including working memory impairment. Till date, no proven clinical therapeutics is available to retard the progression of neurodegenerative memory impairment. In the present study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of intranasal small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery in a mouse model of hypoxia-induced working memory impairment using microglial receptor, Mac-1 as a target gene. Here, we implicate Mac-1 scavenger receptor in microglial phenotype switching, neurodegeneration in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and working memory impairment. RNA mediated silencing of Mac-1 in both in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo model showed significant impact of it on hypoxia induced altered expression of Mac-1 endogenous ligand, signaling cascade proteins, transcription factors and NADPH oxidase pathway. Efficient degradation of Mac-1 mRNA suppressed expression of M1 phenotypic markers, inflammatory chemokines, and cytokines, but on the other hand, it upregulated M2 phenotypic markers and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Neuronal viability and synaptic plasticity markers were also modulated significantly by this strategy. Behavioral study revealed significant downregulation in the number of working memory errors at a time-dependent manner after silencing the Mac-1 gene during continuous hypoxic exposure. The novel findings of this study for the very first time, unmasked the role of Mac-1 receptor in neurodegenerative disease progression under hypoxic condition and at the same time indicated the potential therapeutic value of this non-invasive siRNA delivery approach for treating working memory loss.\n\nID: 29273501\nTitle: Selective \u03b1-Synuclein Knockdown in Monoamine Neurons by Intranasal Oligonucleotide Delivery: Potential Therapy for Parkinson's Disease.\nAbstract: Progressive neuronal death in brainstem nuclei and widespread accumulation of \u03b1-synuclein are neuropathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD). Reduction of \u03b1-synuclein levels is therefore a potential therapy for PD. However, because \u03b1-synuclein is essential for neuronal development and function, \u03b1-synuclein elimination would dramatically impact brain function. We previously developed conjugated small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences that selectively target serotonin (5-HT) or norepinephrine (NE) neurons after intranasal administration. Here, we used this strategy to conjugate inhibitory oligonucleotides, siRNA and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), with the triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor indatraline (IND), to selectively reduce \u03b1-synuclein expression in the brainstem monoamine nuclei of mice after intranasal delivery. Following internalization of the conjugated oligonucleotides in monoamine neurons, reduced levels of endogenous \u03b1-synuclein mRNA and protein were found in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), ventral tegmental area (VTA), dorsal raphe nucleus (DR), and locus coeruleus (LC). \u03b1-Synuclein knockdown by \u223c20%-40% did not cause monoaminergic neurodegeneration and enhanced forebrain dopamine (DA) and 5-HT release. Conversely, a modest human \u03b1-synuclein overexpression in DA neurons markedly reduced striatal DA release. These results indicate that \u03b1-synuclein negatively regulates monoamine neurotransmission and set the stage for the testing of non-viral inhibitory oligonucleotides as disease-modifying agents in \u03b1-synuclein models of PD.\n\nID: 29109780\nTitle: Metabolomic Profiling of Extracellular Vesicles and Alternative Normalization Methods Reveal Enriched Metabolites and Strategies to Study Prostate Cancer-Related Changes.\nAbstract: Body fluids are a rich source of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which carry cargo derived from the secreting cells. So far, biomarkers for pathological conditions have been mainly searched from their protein, (mi)RNA, DNA and lipid cargo. Here, we explored the small molecule metabolites from urinary and platelet EVs relative to their matched source samples. As a proof-of-concept study of intra-EV metabolites, we compared alternative normalization methods to profile urinary EVs from prostate cancer patients before and after prostatectomy and from healthy controls. We employed targeted ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to profile over 100 metabolites in the isolated EVs, original urine samples and platelets. We determined the enrichment of the metabolites in the EVs and analyzed their subcellular origin, pathways and relevant enzymes or transporters through data base searches. EV- and urine-derived factors and ratios between metabolites were tested for normalization of the metabolomics data. Approximately 1 x 1010 EVs were sufficient for detection of metabolite profiles from EVs. The profiles of the urinary and platelet EVs overlapped with each other and with those of the source materials, but they also contained unique metabolites. The EVs enriched a selection of cytosolic metabolites including members from the nucleotide and spermidine pathways, which linked to a number of EV-resident enzymes or transporters. Analysis of the urinary EVs from the patients indicated that the levels of glucuronate, D-ribose 5-phosphate and isobutyryl-L-carnitine were 2-26-fold lower in all pre-prostatectomy samples compared to the healthy control and post-prostatectomy samples (p < 0.05). These changes were only detected from EVs by normalization to EV-derived factors or with metabolite ratios, and not from the original urine samples. Our results suggest that metabolite analysis of EVs from different samples is feasible using a high-throughput platform and relatively small amount of sample material. With the knowledge about the specific enrichment of metabolites and normalization methods, EV metabolomics could be used to gain novel biomarker data not revealed by the analysis of the original EV source materials.\n\nID: 23622116\nTitle: Analysis of inflammation-related nigral degeneration and locomotor function in DJ-1(-/-) mice.\nAbstract: Complex interactions involving genetic susceptibility and environmental factors are thought to underlie the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the role of inflammatory processes in modulating risk for development of PD has yet to be fully understood, prospective studies suggest that chronic use of NSAIDs reduce the incidence of PD. Loss-of-function mutations in the DJ-1 gene cause a rare form of familial PD with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance; however, DJ-1-/- mice do not display nigrostriatal pathway degeneration, suggesting that additional factors such as inflammation may be needed to induce neurodegeneration on the background of DJ-1 gene mutations. Neuroinflammation causes oxidative stress and, based on evidence that DJ-1 plays a protective role against oxidative stress, we investigated whether DJ-1-/- mice display increased vulnerability to inflammation-induced nigral degeneration. We exposed adult wild-type and DJ-1-/- mice to repeated intranasal administration of soluble TNF (inTNF) or repeated intraperitoneal injections of low-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or saline vehicle. We measured locomotor performance using a variety of behavior tasks, striatal dopamine (DA) content by HPLC, DA neuron (TH+ cells) and total neuron (NeuN+ cells) number in the substantia nigra pars compacta and ventral tegmental area by unbiased stereology, number of Iba1-positive microglia, and mRNA levels of inflammatory and oxidative stress genes by quantitative PCR in the midbrain, cortex and isolated peritoneal macrophages of DJ-1-/- and wild-type mice. We found that chronic LPS injections induced similar neuroinflammatory responses in the midbrains of DJ-1-/- mice and wild-type mice and neither group developed locomotor deficits or nigral degeneration. inTNF administration did not appear to induce neuroinflammatory responses in LPS-treated wild-type or DJ-1-/- mice. The lack of vulnerability to inflammation-induced nigral degeneration was not due to enhanced anti-oxidant gene responses in the midbrains of DJ-1-/- mice which, in fact, displayed a blunted response relative to that of wild-type mice. Peripheral macrophages from wild-type and DJ-1-/- mice displayed similar basal and LPS-induced inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in vitro. Our studies indicate that DJ-1-/- mice do not display increased vulnerability to inflammation-related nigral degeneration in contrast to what has been reported for 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrindine. We conclude that either DJ-1 does not have a critical role in protecting DA neurons against inflammation-induced oxidative stress and/or there is compensatory gene expression in the midbrain of DJ-1-/- mice that renders them resistant to the cytotoxic effects triggered by chronic peripheral inflammation.\n\nID: 12807425\nTitle: The chemokine receptor CCR5 is not a necessary inflammatory mediator in kainic acid-induced hippocampal injury: evidence for a compensatory effect by increased CCR2 and CCR3.\nAbstract: Chemokines and their receptors have been strongly implicated in the inflammatory process. However, their roles in excitotoxic brain injury are largely unknown. In this study we used C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) knockout (KO) mice to investigate the role of CCR5 in neurodegeneration induced by intranasal administration of the excitotoxin kainic acid (KA). Although KA treatment resulted in an increased CCR5 mRNA level in the hippocampi of wild-type mice, a CCR5 deficiency in KO mice did not affect either the clinical and pathological changes in vivo or the neuronal susceptibilities to KA insult in vitro. KA treatment stimulated mRNA expression of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-2 (MCP-2) in both the wild-type and KO mice. KA treatment did not affect mRNA levels for the macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) or the regulated upon activation normal T cells expressed and secreted protein (RANTES) in either wild-type or CCR5 KO mice. CCR2 mRNA expression was undetectable in the hippocampi of wild-type mice regardless of KA treatment. In contrast, CCR5 KO mice showed CCR2 mRNA expression that was remarkably increased after KA treatment. KA treatment did not affect CCR3 mRNA expression in the wild-type mice, whereas KO mice showed both a higher basal level of CCR3 mRNA expression as well as a strong upregulation following KA treatment. These results indicate that CCR5 is not a necessary inflammatory mediator in KA induced neurodegeneration. The roles of CCR5 in excitotoxic injury in CCR5 deficient mice are compensated by increased CCR2 and CCR3 expression, which share the common MCP-2 ligand with CCR5.\n\nID: 42539252\nTitle: Altered neuronal start codon stringency favors cap-independent repeat-associated non-AUG translation.\nAbstract: Intronic GGGGCC repeat expansions in C9orf72 cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This expansion supports a non-canonical form of translational initiation known as repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation to produce toxic dipeptide repeat proteins that contribute to neurodegeneration. Here, we find that the efficiency of RAN translation and its dependency on the 5' 7-methylguanosine mRNA cap are variable across cell types, with both rodent neurons and human iNeurons favoring cap-independent RAN translation from two distinct repeats (CGG and GGGGCC) across multiple reading frames. Treatment with an eIF4E inhibitor that blocks global cap-dependent translation enhances RAN translation specifically in neurons. Intriguingly, cap-independent RAN translation exhibits less reliance on near-cognate codons for initiation than cap-dependent RAN translation. This finding led us to identify a surprising global increase in start codon stringency in neurons as a contributor to the relatively higher cap-independent RAN translation in this cell type. This effect correlates with a cytoplasmic redistribution of eIF1 in neurons and is reversed with neuronal overexpression of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF5, which relaxes start codon stringency and selectively enhances cap-dependent RAN translation. Taken together, these findings reveal several neuron-specific features of translational regulation that favor cap-independent RAN translation with implications for nucleotide repeat expansion disorder pathogenesis and neuronal translational regulation.\n\nID: 42392306\nTitle: Global Trends and Evolving Frontiers in Intranasal Delivery for CNS Diseases (2000-2025): A Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Review.\nAbstract: Intranasal administration (nose-to-brain delivery) has emerged as a pivotal non-invasive strategy to bypass the blood-brain barrier (BBB) for treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. However, the exponential growth of literature in this domain presents challenges in grasping the holistic research trajectory and identifying emerging hotspots. This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 4009 publications retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) spanning from 2000 to 2025. Tools including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R-bibliometrix were employed to map spatiotemporal trends, collaborative networks, and keyword evolution. The analysis reveals a robust upward trend in global research output, predominantly driven by China and the United States. Keyword clustering identified 5 major research sub-domains: Alzheimer's disease, Oxytocin (behavioral/psychiatric applications), Stroke and Neuroinflammation, Brain Tumors, and Nanoparticles. Burst detection analysis elucidates a distinct paradigm shift in scientific focus: early investigations prioritized mucosal absorption mechanisms and tolerance, the focus subsequently transitioned to specific therapeutic agents (e.g., insulin, oxytocin), and most recently, the field has been dominated by the optimization of delivery vectors, specifically lipid-based nanoparticles and exosomes. While nanotechnology has become the current technological frontier for enhancing brain targeting, a critical gap remains between promising preclinical results and clinical translation. Future research must prioritize the development of biomimetic delivery systems and highly predictive translational models to bridge the divide between bench and bedside. This review provides a strategic roadmap for researchers to navigate current trends and address the barriers hindering clinical application.\n\nID: 42288469\nTitle: Intranasal mucoadhesive biomaterials for nose-to-brain neuroactive delivery: platform design and model-informed translation for time-bounded CNS exposure.\nAbstract: Intranasal nose-to-brain delivery remains difficult to translate because regional deposition, mucociliary clearance, epithelial transport, local instability, tolerability feedback, and systemic absorption jointly determine central nervous system (CNS) exposure. This evidence-mapping review evaluates mucoadhesive biomaterial platforms as formulation-development tools for improving residence, release control, deposition reproducibility, and exposure interpretability in neuroactive intranasal delivery, using insomnia-relevant timing requirements as a stringent case for controlled onset and offset. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus were searched from 1 January 2008 to 30 April 2026. Seventeen primary intranasal platform studies were included; route-attribution credibility was high in five studies, moderate in five, low in six, and not assessable in one. Platform classes included in situ gelling depots, pre-formed gels, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid or vesicular carriers, hybrid nanoparticle-in-gel systems, and device-coupled dry powders. Key formulation variables were translated into development endpoints, including rheology, gelation, mucoadhesion, release kinetics, deposition, permeability, systemic leakage, and nasal tolerability. The proposed model-informed strategies are conceptual; no new physiologically based pharmacokinetic simulations were performed. Successful platforms should be judged by reproducible onset, controlled offset, bounded systemic exposure, and recovery-phase safety rather than by peak brain concentrations or targeting ratios alone.\n\nID: 42227779\nTitle: Chitosan-based nanocarriers in Alzheimer's disease therapy: recent developments and future perspectives.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurological condition that worsens with time and causes behavioural problems, memory loss, and cognitive decline. It is a major global health concern. Alzheimer's complexity and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limit effective disease-modifying treatments despite extensive research. The primary goal of conventional pharmacotherapies is to relieve symptoms; however, they frequently have low absorption, a short half-life, and peripheral adverse effects. The use of anti-Alzheimer medications in nanoparticles (NPs) is a potential remedy for these issues. Although many NPs are biocompatible and non-toxic, many are not biodegradable, making them unsuitable for CNS targeting. Chitosan (CS)-based NPs stand out among polymeric nanocarriers as stable, biodegradable delivery systems for central nervous system drugs. In this review, we examine the design, mechanisms of BBB penetration, drug-loading capacity, controlled-release behaviour, and therapeutic efficacy of CS-based delivery platforms, including nanoparticles, nanogels, lipid nanoparticles, polymeric micelles, nanoemulsions, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-loaded systems. Furthermore, the benefits of CS-based systems, including improved brain bioavailability, reduced toxicity, intranasal delivery, and support for multifunctional and stimuli-responsive therapeutics, are highlighted. All things considered, chitosan-based drug delivery systems offer a flexible and promising strategy for enhancing AD treatment results.\n\nID: 42164918\nTitle: Toward nanomedicine-enabled RNA therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is driven by intersecting proteopathic and inflammatory processes, including amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, tau pathology, neuroinflammation, synaptic dysfunction, and progressive neuronal loss. Current therapies remain insufficient to address its multifactorial nature. RNA-based therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), enable precise modulation of disease-relevant pathways. However, their clinical translation in AD is constrained by poor stability, immunogenicity, and limited delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Nanotechnology has enabled clinically successful RNA delivery in several non-CNS indications, yet nanoparticle (NP)-mediated nucleic acid delivery has not been evaluated in AD clinical trials to date. In this review, we integrate the emerging clinical landscape of CNS-directed RNA therapeutics with the preclinical evidence supporting NP-enabled delivery to AD-relevant targets and cell types, and we highlight design features that enhance stability, BBB transport, endosomal escape, and cellular selectivity. We further delineate the key translational requirements to advance these platforms from proof-of-concept to first-in-human studies, including scalable, reproducible manufacturing; rigorous safety and tolerability assessments; mitigation of innate immune activation; and consistent, quantifiable brain exposure and target engagement. Finally, we discuss next-generation strategies, such as multifunctional, stimulus-responsive nanocarriers and combinatorial RNA payloads, aimed at addressing AD heterogeneity and enabling durable, mechanism-based disease modification.\n\nID: 42087256\nTitle: Targeting the integrated stress response or Ataxin-2 alleviates neurodegeneration in PolyGR models of C9orf72 associated frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are fatal, early-onset neurodegenerative diseases. The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS.\n\nID: 42076632\nTitle: Advanced Sensing and Delivery Technologies for Nose-to-Brain Administration: From Nanocarriers to Sensor-Integrated Organ-on-Chips.\nAbstract: Central nervous system (CNS) disorders represent a growing healthcare burden, and various drugs are developed for their treatment. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents over 98% of therapeutics from reaching brain tissue. Intranasal delivery provides a promising alternative by exploiting olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to circumvent the BBB. This review surveys recent advances in nose-to-brain delivery technologies, from carrier design to evaluation methods. Polymeric and lipid-based nanocarriers show enhanced mucosal penetration and prolonged residence time, and microneedle platforms further enable controlled drug release with minimal discomfort. To evaluate these delivery strategies, sensor-integrated organ-on-chip models provide more physiologically relevant testing than static cultures. Although persistent challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance and formulation stability remain, combining nanotechnology with microfluidic devices and computational modeling shows potential for developing patient-specific therapeutics.\n\nID: 42024000\nTitle: Chitosan-Based Nanoparticles for Nose-to-Brain Drug Delivery: A Real Path toward Effective CNS Therapy?\nAbstract: Treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders remains a major clinical challenge. The blood-brain barrier (BBB), systemic toxicity, and first-pass metabolism are key obstacles. These factors limit the effective drug delivery to the brain. Intranasal administration has emerged as a noninvasive strategy to bypass the BBB. This approach enables direct drug delivery to the brain through the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways, commonly referred to as nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery. In this context, chitosan (CS), a biocompatible and mucoadhesive polysaccharide with permeation-enhancing properties, has gained significant interest as a functional material for nanoparticle (NP) engineering. CS-based or CS-coated NP can prolong the residence time on the nasal mucosa and facilitate drug transport to the CNS. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in CS-based NP for N2B drug delivery across a range of CNS disorders, including neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, neoplastic, and infectious conditions. Particular attention is given to formulation strategies, mechanistic insights, and preclinical outcomes. Recent patent applications are surveyed to underscore the translational potential and commercial interest in this technology. Collectively, CS-based NPs effectively address major therapeutic barriers, establishing a transformative and innovative platform in CNS drug delivery.\n\nID: 41930582\nTitle: Solid Lipid Nanoparticle Mediated Intranasal Drug Delivery for Brain Targeting: A Comprehensive Review.\nAbstract: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts the passage of drugs into the brain, preventing drug transport to the central nervous system and minimizing the therapeutic effectiveness of several drugs used for brain diseases. The intranasal route of administration provides a non-invasive, quick, and efficient means of achieving direct brain targeting. The anatomy and physiology of the nasal cavity play a vital role in drug absorption and transport to the brain. The olfactory and trigeminal nerves are directly linked to the brain, allowing drugs to bypass the BBB. Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) have emerged as a potential drug delivery system for the intranasal administration of therapeutic agents targeting brain diseases. SLNs are composed of biocompatible lipids and surfactants and offer unique advantages, such as controlled drug release, enhancement in bioavailability, and high brain targeting potential. This review focuses on the exploration of drug-loaded intranasally delivered SLNs for brain diseases (Alzheimer's, Huntington's, stroke, epilepsy, depression, meningitis, Parkinsonism, migraine, brain cancer) with emphasis on the in vitro and in vivo findings. In the reviewed literature, the size of drug-loaded SLNs for brain delivery via intranasal administration was found to be in the range of 65-210 nm. Ongoing clinical trials and patents involving SLNs for intranasal delivery further strengthen the enhanced interest in this drug delivery platform for the effective management of brain diseases.\n\nID: 41929021\nTitle: Granulin loss and TMEM106B risk converge on lysosomal C-terminal fragment pathology in frontotemporal dementia.\nAbstract: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer disease. Mutations in GRN, which encodes progranulin, are a major cause of FTD. Common genetic variants in the TMEM106B gene modify risk of FTD and the effect is especially strong in GRN mutation carriers. Intriguingly, in GRN mutation carriers, being homozygous for the protective TMEM106B haplotype seems to confer near lifetime protection against FTD. Despite the strong genetic link between GRN and TMEM106B, how these two genes interact mechanistically has remained unresolved. Recent studies have revealed that a C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B forms amyloid fibrils and accumulates in the brains of older individuals and patients with neurodegenerative disorders, including FTD. How the production of this fragment connects to granulin deficiency is also unknown. Using lysosome immunoprecipitation, we show that granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes in Grn-knockout mice and GRN-null human iPSC-derived neurons. Recombinant progranulin supplementation reduced TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation. Isogenic neurons carrying the TMEM106B risk allele displayed allele-dose-dependent fragment accumulation that was reversible by progranulin. Structural and genetic analyses demonstrated that TMEM106B dimerization stabilizes the protein and limits C-terminal fragment formation. These findings define a lysosomal pathway linking granulin deficiency to TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation and explain how protective TMEM106B alleles can confer resistance to FTD, even for GRN mutation carriers.\n\nID: 41900817\nTitle: Design and In Vitro Evaluation of Cyclodextrin-Functionalized Albumin Nanoparticles for Intranasal Carbamazepine Brain Delivery.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Poor aqueous solubility and limited nasal permeability remain key challenges in the intranasal delivery of carbamazepine. In this study, biocompatible bovine serum albumin nanoparticles functionalized with sulfobutyl-\u03b2-cyclodextrin (S\u03b2CD-BSA NPs), comprising individually cytocompatible components with confirmed physical interactions), were formulated for intranasal delivery of carbamazepine (CBZ). Methods: The ethanolic desolvation method was utilised for the preparation of the nanoparticles, with the functional moiety incorporated during nanoparticle preparation. The effects of different molar ratios of S\u03b2CD-BSA and different ethanol volume ratios were studied. For crosslinking, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), a non-toxic crosslinker, was utilised. To determine the role of the S\u03b2CD, two preparation samples were formulated, with and without S\u03b2CD. Results: The formulation without S\u03b2CD incorporation had a mean particle size of 125 \u00b1 0.64 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.34, encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 61.5 \u00b1 1.40%, and drug-loading ratio (DL%) of 31.9 \u00b1 1.50%. Conversely, the S\u03b2CD-functionalized formulation showed a mean particle size of 128 \u00b1 2.12 nm, PDI of 0.21 \u00b1 0.03, EE of 64.6 \u00b1 0.35%, and DL of 34.28 \u00b1 1.60%. Statistical analysis revealed that the incorporation of S\u03b2CD resulted in a statistically significant increase in both DL% and EE% (p < 0.05). Conversely, the observed differences in particle size and PDI were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). This addition provides precise context regarding the comparability of the formulations while highlighting S\u03b2CD's functional benefits in solubility and permeation. The interaction between CBZ and S\u03b2CD-BSA was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Lastly, the prepared formulations were characterised by their physicochemical attributes and in vitro biopharmaceutical studies. It was discovered that S\u03b2CD plays a dual role, enhancing the solubility of CBZ in one scenario while promoting its nasal permeation, suggesting its potential use in epilepsy treatment. Conclusions: These findings highlight the potential of S\u03b2CD-BSA NPs as a versatile pharmaceutics platform for the intranasal delivery of poorly soluble CNS drugs.\n\nID: 41828589\nTitle: From Polyphenols to Prodrugs: Bridging the Blood-Brain Barrier with Nanomedicine and Neurotherapeutics.\nAbstract: Central nervous system disorders drive disability, yet many neuroactive candidates fail because the brain is a hard compartment to dose. Plant-derived molecules spanning polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, and cannabinoids are attractive because their pleiotropic actions can engage oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and circuit dysfunction. In practice, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts most native phytochemicals through tight-junction selectivity, rapid metabolism, low solubility, and transporter-mediated efflux. Key gaps include poor standardization of exposure metrics, limited human-relevant BBB models, and few head-to-head studies that compare delivery platforms on the same payload and outcome. This review tackles the mismatch between mechanistic promise and reliable brain exposure that stalls translation. The objectives are to link phytochemical liabilities to enabling strategies in nanomedicine, alternative routes, and transporter-targeted prodrugs, and to propose decision-grade endpoints for translation. We synthesize evidence on BBB transport logic, nanocarrier families, targeting ligands, intranasal delivery, focused ultrasound-mediated opening, and prodrug approaches that hijack influx transporters, while foregrounding safety and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) constraints. Here we highlight that effective neurotherapeutics emerge when chemistry, carrier, route, and measurement are co-designed rather than optimized in isolation. This framework can guide platform selection, de-risk first in-human studies, and sharpen trial endpoints. More broadly, it offers a transferable playbook for barrier-limited drug development across neurology, psychiatry, and oncology.\n\nID: 41708844\nTitle: The PAH-AM-PEG-ApoE@siRNA Nanocarrier Delivery System for Polo-like Kinase 1 Inhibition Suppresses Glioma Progression.\nAbstract: The poor efficacy of chemotherapy for glioma is mainly due to the difficulty of drug penetration through the blood-brain barrier (BBB), as well as the difficulty of drug concentration in the tumor tissue to reach the effective therapeutic level. The emerging tumor-targeted delivery technology can facilitate the precise enrichment of drugs in the tumor site. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE(159-167)2) binds to low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1) on the blood-brain barrier and helps it to specifically cross the BBB. Based on this, in this study, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) dimerized with ApoE(159-167)2 was used for the modification of PAH-AM, and amphiphilic PAH-AM-PEG-ApoE nanocarriers were successfully prepared. Among them, the PEG modification could effectively prolong the retention time of the nanoparticles in vivo and reduce the toxic side effects, while the ApoE(159-167)2 polypeptide could specifically penetrate the blood-brain barrier for intracerebral targeted delivery by binding to LRP-1. The nanocarrier further binds to small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting PLK1, a key cell cycle factor, by electrostatic interaction to construct the nano-delivery system PAPA@siPLK1. In vitro experiments showed that the nanoparticles significantly inhibited the proliferation of U87MG glioma cells, induced apoptosis, and specifically silenced the mRNA and protein expression of PLK1. The results of in vivo animal experiments showed that PAPA@siPLK1 could effectively inhibit tumor growth and had potential brain permeability; The PAPA@siPLK1 nanocarrier delivery system developed in this study achieves PLK1 gene silencing through efficient siRNA delivery, providing an important basis for novel therapeutic strategies for glioma.\n\nID: 41582778\nTitle: Chitosan nanoparticles for brain targeted nose-to-brain drug delivery in neurodegenerative disease: a comprehensive exploration of advances, limitations and future prospects.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and epilepsy, cause irreversible nerve cell degradation, resulting in cognitive and motor decline. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) complicates treatment, limiting drug access and causing low bioavailability. Chitosan nanoparticles (CH-NPs) offer a promising solution for improving drug delivery to the brain due to their biocompatibility and ability to enhance intranasal delivery, potentially increasing therapeutic efficacy. The review discusses advancements in chitosan-based nanoparticle drug delivery systems for NDDs, highlighting literature from 2015 to 2025. It indicates that chitosan can improve drug uptake in the brain by up to ten times and emphasizes its potential for targeted central nervous system (CNS) delivery due to its unique properties. Additionally, intranasal delivery is a non-invasive method to bypass the BBB and enhance therapeutic precision. CH-NPs effectively deliver therapeutics to the CNS, leveraging their mucoadhesive properties and biocompatibility to cross the BBB via intranasal delivery. This platform enhances drug uptake and retention in the brain, addressing challenges faced by traditional therapies for NDDs. Optimizing nanoparticle biomaterial properties and delivery methods could improve therapeutic precision and clinical outcomes.\n\nID: 41570650\nTitle: Targeting the brain through the nose: Advances in polymeric nanoparticle delivery for schizophrenia.\nAbstract: Intranasal delivery of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) offers a promising approach for improving drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS), particularly for treating schizophrenia. This delivery method enables direct nose-to-brain transport via olfactory and trigeminal pathways, bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and increasing therapeutic agent bioavailability in brain tissue while reducing systemic exposure and adverse effects. PNPs fabricated from natural polymers (chitosan, alginate, gelatin) and synthetic polymers (PLGA, polycaprolactone) provide controlled and sustained drug release, enhanced stability, and prolonged nasal residence time. Surface modifications with targeting ligands such as transferrin and lactoferrin have demonstrated 3.2 to 5.8 fold increases in brain accumulation compared to non-functionalized systems. Coating agents including polysorbate 80 and PEG further enhance nanoparticle transport efficiency and stability, with documented improvements of up to 10.86-fold in brain uptake. Beyond traditional antipsychotics, these nanocarrier platforms show significant potential for delivering neuropeptides (oxytocin, vasopressin) that address negative symptoms and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Novel nanoparticle-based delivery systems, including dendrimers, nanoemulsions, and lipid-based carriers, complement polymeric approaches to overcome limitations of conventional drug therapies. Despite robust preclinical efficacy data, clinical translation faces substantial challenges including interspecies anatomical differences (human olfactory epithelium represents only 3-5% of nasal surface area versus 50% in rodents), limited nasal cavity dose capacity, device-dependent delivery variability, absence of standardized assessment protocols, and insufficient long-term safety data for chronic administration. Future research must prioritize nanoparticle design optimization for enhanced mucoadhesion and mucopenetration, improved brain targeting through ligand engineering, validation in physiologically relevant models including ex vivo human tissue, comprehensive chronic toxicity evaluation, and alignment with evolving regulatory frameworks. Intranasal PNPs represent a paradigm shift in treating schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders, offering a non-invasive, patient-friendly, and potentially more effective therapeutic modality.\n\nID: 41555650\nTitle: High-Throughput In Vivo Screening Identifies Structural Factors Driving mRNA Lipid Nanoparticle Delivery to the Brain.\nAbstract: Achieving systemic nonviral delivery of large nucleic acids such as mRNA to the brain is challenging due to high off-target delivery and the blood-brain barrier (BBB), a cellular barrier which prevents most nucleic acids in circulation from entering the brain. Ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a promising class of nanocarriers to facilitate the delivery of mRNA, as their highly modular nature enables fine-tuning of the LNP formulation for targeted delivery applications. In this work, we explore the role of ionizable lipid chemical structure and lipid molar ratios within the LNP formulation on mRNA delivery to and transfection of the brain. We utilize a high-throughput in vivo screening approach based on mRNA barcoding to study a large library of LNPs made with systematically varied ionizable lipid structures, amounts of ionizable lipid, and amounts of lipid-polyethylene glycol (PEG). We find that ionizable lipids with longer tail structures and linear amine cores can facilitate mRNA delivery to the mouse brain, and ultimately identify a specific ionizable lipid, C14-306, that facilitates brain transfection coupled with reduced liver transfection compared to an FDA-approved benchmark formulation. Furthermore, the lead LNP formulated with C14-306 is able to increase neuronal transfection and facilitate Cre-mediated recombination in the brain. Finally, safety analyses demonstrate that the lead LNP does not induce BBB leakage, increases in serum inflammatory cytokine levels, or increases in serum liver enzyme levels. Overall, our work highlights the utility of molecular barcoding for high-throughput screening of LNPs for delivery to the brain and suggests several design principles to guide the engineering of next-generation brain-tropic LNPs.\n\nID: 41525470\nTitle: A critical comparative insight on nanocarrier-based intranasal delivery of statins for neuroprotective applications.\nAbstract: The incidence of central nervous system (CNS) disorders is rising globally, particularly as the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases increases. The primary challenge in such cases is limited transport of therapeutics through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Statins, widely used for hypercholesterolemia, exhibit pleiotropic neuroprotective effects; however, their therapeutic potential in CNS disorders is restricted by poor brain bioavailability with conventional routes. Intranasal (IN) delivery has long been recognized as a plausible pathway for brain targeting. This narrative review critically examines preclinical literature on IN nanocarrier-based delivery systems developed specifically for statins, with emphasis on nose-to-brain transport, formulation strategies, pharmacokinetics (PK), and neuroprotective outcomes. This work uniquely integrates a formulation-centric comparison of IN nanocarriers for statins. It highlights the potential of IN delivery, discussing the influence of carrier type, physicochemical properties, and delivery strategy on brain targeting efficiency and therapeutic relevance across different neurological indications. IN nanocarrier systems display potential to enhance statin brain delivery by bypassing the BBB and first-pass metabolism. Nevertheless, current evidence is predominantly preclinical, with significant variability in study design, pharmacokinetic reporting, and safety evaluation. Translation to clinics will require standardized nose-to-brain metrics, long-term safety studies, scalable manufacturing processes, and early regulatory alignment.\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: 41499955\nTitle: Biofabrication of 3D bioprinted and organ-on-chip blood-brain barrier models using hCMEC/D3 for intranasal delivery of central nervous system therapeutics.\nAbstract: The BBB remains a major obstacle to effective treatment of CNS disorders by limiting the entry of most therapeutics into the brain. The hCMEC/D3 is widely used as anin vitromodel to study BBB structure, permeability, and drug transport. In parallel, intranasal administration has gained prominence as a non-invasive route to bypass the BBB and deliver therapeutics directly to the brain via olfactory and trigeminal pathways. This review critically explores how hCMEC/D3 models support the development of intranasal N2B drug delivery strategies. Advances in co-culture systems, 3D constructs, and microfluidic BBB-on-chip platforms have improved the physiological relevance of hCMEC/D3. Integration with nasal epithelial models, including ALI cultures and nasal-on-chip systems, enables simulation of the entire N2B transport route. Emerging delivery systems, including mucoadhesive nanoparticles, ligand-targeted carriers, and prodrugs, are evaluated for their performance in dual-barrierin vitromodels. While progress is evident, challenges remain in translatability and standardisation. Future efforts integrating omics, machine learning, and organ-on-chip technologies will enhance predictive modelling and accelerate CNS drug development.\n\nID: 41422503\nTitle: Repeat-associated non-AUG translation as a common mechanism for the polyGln ataxias.\nAbstract: Determining if repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) proteins contribute to the CAG-polyglutamine (polyGln)-encoding spinocerebellar ataxias (CAG-SCAs) is critical for understanding disease mechanisms and for therapy development. Immunohistochemistry shows that sense polyserine (polySer) (AGC frame) and antisense polyleucine (polyLeu) (CUG frame) RAN protein aggregates accumulate throughout the cerebellum and pons, in SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, and SCA7 autopsy brains, and in damaged neurons. Cerebellar white matter regions, with prominent polySer and polyLeu but minimal polyGln, show neuroinflammation and demyelination. In SCA3 mice, RAN protein aggregates increase with age. SCA1 Pcp2-ATXN1[82Q] (Pcp2-82Q) mice designed to express ataxin-1 (ATXN1)-polyGln in Purkinje cells show sense and antisense RAN protein aggregates throughout the cerebellum. Disrupting the ATXN182Q:capicua binding, which improves behavior and neuropathology, also reduces RAN protein aggregates. In neural cells, toxic polySer and polyLeu proteins impair autophagy, and reducing RAN protein levels with metformin reduces cytotoxicity. These data identify sense and antisense RAN proteins as a common molecular mechanism shared by the CAG-SCAs.\n\nID: 41388868\nTitle: Intranasal delivery of metal/metal oxide nanoparticles for the management of CNS-related diseases: theranostic and toxicity issues.\nAbstract: The main objective of this article was to explore the therapeutic potential of intranasally administered metal/metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) for treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Significance of review Metal/metal oxide NPs offer new possibilities for brain imaging and targeted drug delivery. These NPs can be delivered intranasally with minimal invasiveness, offering a patient-friendly approach for therapeutic applications. The current article synthesizes research studies on the potential of intranasal metal/metal oxide NPs for treating CNS disorders, focusing on their unique features, transport pathways, therapeutic and diagnostic benefits, and neurotoxicological challenges. The small size and high surface area of metal/metal oxide NPs enable efficient drug encapsulation and direct delivery to the brain via the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, bypassing the blood-brain barrier. These NPs exhibit tunable surface chemistry, allowing functionalization with ligands or coatings to enhance biocompatibility and reduce neurotoxicity. Additionally, these NPs can show inherent therapeutic properties, such as antioxidant or anti-inflammatory effects, which further support neuroprotection. Intranasal delivery of metallic NPs is an emerging strategy for drug delivery and imaging, particularly for targeting CNS disorders. However, the development of novel NPs with minimal neurotoxicity is crucial to ensuring their safety and efficacy for clinical applications.\n\nID: 41292554\nTitle: Editorial: New approaches to overcome the blood-brain barrier for the treatment of CNS disorders.\nAbstract: \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: 41206776\nTitle: Intranasal delivery of lipid-based nanoparticles for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases: advances, challenges and future perspectives.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease urgently require new therapeutic approaches. Despite significant efforts, no disease-modifying therapies targeting specific molecular pathways have demonstrated consistent clinical efficacy. This challenge has shifted attention toward drug delivery strategies that improve bioavailability, targeting, and patient accessibility. Intranasal delivery has emerged as a promising, non-invasive approach that bypasses the blood-brain barrier, and improves patient compliance. Lipid-based systems, especially following the success of COVID-19 vaccines, have gained attention as versatile platforms for delivering RNAs. Their ability to encapsulate diverse payloads and tunable composition makes them ideal candidates for targeting neurodegenerative disorders via the intranasal route. This review discusses recent advances in intranasal delivery for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, emphasizing on lipid-based nanoparticles. It addresses formulation challenges such as stability, targeting efficiency, and compatibility with nasal physiology, and outlines key design parameters affecting brain delivery. Future directions are explored to advance formulation development and clinical translation. Intranasal lipid-based drug delivery represents a promising strategy to bypass the blood-brain barrier in neurogenerative disorder treatment. Although regulatory gaps and the absence of long-term safety evaluation, intranasal administration offers clear advantages for CNS targeting underscoring strong potential for future clinical translation.\n\nID: 41205008\nTitle: Insights into the Versatile Role of Extracellular Vesicles in the Treatment of CNS Disorders.\nAbstract: E xtracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-enclosed nanocarriers composed primarily of phospholipids and membrane proteins. They are released by cells into the surrounding extracellular environment and vary in size, composition, and biogenesis pathways. Beyond their natural role in intercellular communication, mediating the transfer of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (like mRNA and miRNA) between cells, EVs have emerged as a highly versatile and promising therapeutic platform for a range of challenging disorders, particularly those affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and various cancers. The CNS presents unique therapeutic challenges, notably the formidable blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts the entry of most conventional drugs. EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications. This characteristic positions them as ideal nanocarriers for delivering therapeutic payloads such as neurotrophic factors, gene therapy constructs, or anti-inflammatory agents directly to target neural cells for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, and even glioblastoma. Their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity further reduce systemic side effects, making them a safer alternative to synthetic delivery systems. This review outlines recent progress in extraction techniques using EVs for treating neurological disorders. It covers clinical applications in neurodegenerative, infectious diseases, inflammatory, genetic, and oncological diseases and highlights current limitations and considerations for advancing future research in this evolving field.\n\nID: 41167290\nTitle: Optimization of intranasal trifluoperazine/SPION-leciplex thermosensitive organogel for depression therapy: Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic comparison of magnet placement effects on brain versus nose.\nAbstract: Trifluoperazine (TFP), an antipsychotic used in depression management, suffers from extensive first-pass metabolism and poor oral bioavailability. Intranasal delivery offers a promising non-invasive route for direct nose-to-brain targeting, while magnetic nanoparticles can further enhance drug localization and absorption. This study aimed to optimize and evaluate a superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION)-loaded leciplex organogel for intranasal delivery of TFP, with emphasis on the effect of external magnet location. The study compared magnet application on the brain to promote olfactory targeting versus on the nose to enhance systemic absorption. TFP/SPION-leciplex nanoparticles were optimized and incorporated into a thermosensitive mucoadhesive organogel. Pharmacodynamic efficacy was assessed via the forced swimming test, and pharmacokinetics were determined in plasma and brain across four groups: no magnet, magnet on nose, magnet on brain, and oral marketed product. The optimized formulation (266.20\u00a0nm, +50.9\u00a0mV, 5.90\u00a0emu/g, IC50 393.92\u00a0\u03bcg/ml) showed safety and favorable characteristics. Both magnet-assisted groups significantly reduced immobility time versus the non-magnet and oral controls, with no significant difference between the two strategies. However, the \"magnet on nose\" group achieved the highest plasma levels, favoring systemic absorption, while the \"magnet on brain\" group achieved the highest brain levels, favoring olfactory targeting. The SPION-loaded leciplex organogel significantly improved intranasal TFP delivery, enabling dose reduction and superior efficacy compared with oral therapy. Magnet placement was profound in directing drug distribution toward systemic circulation or brain, suggesting that the two approaches may be clinically tailored-\"magnet on nose\" for systemic delivery and \"magnet on brain\" for CNS targeting.\n\nID: 41121761\nTitle: Translation of GGC repeats into a toxic polyglycine protein in oculopharyngodistal myopathy type 2.\nAbstract: GGC repeat expansions in the 5' untranslated region of the GIPC1 gene have been implicated in the pathogenesis of oculopharyngodistal myopathy type 2 (OPDM2). To investigate the underlying mechanism, we generated a series of reporter constructs to confirm the translation product of GIPC1 expanded GGC repeats. We also developed a specific antibody targeting the predicted N-terminus of the predominant translation product. Its expression and toxicity were validated in patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes and a zebrafish model. Here, we demonstrate that the expanded GGC repeats undergo repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation in multiple reading frames, predominantly generating a polyglycine-containing protein (uGIPC1polyG) initiated at an upstream CTG codon. These polyG-containing proteins aggregate and form intranuclear and cytoplasmic p62/ubiquitin-positive inclusions, which are pathogenic hallmarks of OPDM2. The translation of GGC repeats into a polyG protein also causes mitochondrial dysfunction and disrupts nuclear lamina architecture, thereby inducing cytotoxicity and apoptosis in cell lines, including HEK293T cells, fibroblasts and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes from OPDM2 patients. Additionally, the zebrafish model exhibits developmental malformation and compromised locomotor function, demonstrating the in vivo toxicity of uGIPC1polyG. These findings suggest that the translation of expanded GGC repeats into a toxic polyG protein might play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of OPDM2, highlighting uGIPC1polyG as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.\n\nID: 41082363\nTitle: Transferrin-Conjugated Chitosan Nanoparticles for Direct Nose-to-Brain Delivery of Ziprasidone: Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Evaluation.\nAbstract: Ziprasidone (ZS) exhibits limited central nervous system (CNS) penetration due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This study investigated the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ZS-loaded nanoparticles (NP) and transferrin-functionalized nanoparticles (Tf-NP) administered intravenously (IV) and intranasally (IN) in rats. Brain and plasma concentrations were quantified up to 24 h, and parameters including Cmax, AUC0-24, brain-to-plasma ratios, drug targeting efficiency (%DTE), and direct transport percentage (%DTP) were assessed. Behavioral assays evaluated antipsychotic efficacy. IN administration of NP and Tf-NP significantly enhanced brain exposure relative to IV and IN drug solution, with Tf-NP achieving the highest brain Cmax (329.17\u202f \u00b1 \u202f19.79 ng/mL) and AUC0-24 (4004.73\u202f \u00b1 \u202f396.87 ng\u00b7h/mL), and a %DTP exceeding 92%, indicative of effective nose-to-brain bypass of the BBB. Plasma exposure was reduced for NP and Tf-NP versus IV (Cmax and AUC0-\u221e), minimizing systemic side effects. Brain-to-plasma ratios markedly increased for NP (1.31) and Tf-NP (1.50) compared to IV (0.13). Tf-NP also elicited a faster onset and sustained pharmacodynamic response. These data demonstrate that intranasal Tf-functionalized ZS nanoparticles significantly improve CNS targeting and bioavailability while mitigating systemic exposure, supporting their development as targeted therapeutics for neuropsychiatric disorders.\n\nID: 41063344\nTitle: Canonical translation factors eIF1A and eIF5B modulate the initiation step of repeat-associated non-AUG translation.\nAbstract: Nucleotide repeat expansions, such as the GGGGCC repeats in C9orf72, associated with C9-ALS, are linked to neurodegenerative diseases. These repeat sequences undergo a noncanonical translation known as repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. Unlike canonical translation, RAN translation initiates from non-AUG codons and occurs in all reading frames. To identify potential regulators of RAN translation, we employed a bottom-up approach using a human factor-based reconstituted cell-free translation system to recapitulate RAN translation. This approach revealed that omission of either eIF1A or eIF5B enhanced the translation in all reading frames of C9orf72-mediated RAN translation (C9-RAN), suggesting that eIF1A and eIF5B act as repressors of RAN translation. eIF1A and eIF5B are known to contribute to the fidelity of translation initiation. In HEK293T cells, double knockdown of eIF1A and eIF5B further promoted C9-RAN compared to single knockdowns, indicating that these factors regulate C9-RAN through distinct initiation steps. Furthermore, under eIF1A knockdown conditions, the enhancement of RAN translation via the integrated stress response (ISR) was not observed in HEK293T cells, indicating that eIF1A is involved in the ISR-mediated non-AUG translation.\n\nID: 40959204\nTitle: A Novel Genetic TDP-43 Pig Model Mimics Multiple Key ALS-Like Features.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that lacks ideal models to comprehensively recapitulate its pathological features. TDP-43 pathology, a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, plays a critical role in disease progression. Given the anatomical and physiological similarities between pig and human brains, large animal models offer a unique advantage in more accurately simulating patient-specific disease characteristics. In this study, we rapidly established a TDP-43-induced neurodegenerative disease model in pigs through ear vein injection of the TDP-43M337V virus. Disease progression was systematically evaluated using behavioral assessments and pathological analyses. This porcine model produced extremely severe motor dysfunction accompanied by significant muscle atrophy and fibrosis. Additionally, characteristic TDP-43 pathological phenotypes were observed, including degeneration of spinal motor neurons and proliferation of glial cells in both the brain and spinal cord. Notably, TDP-43M337V induction led to a significant upregulation of TMEM106B, SOD1, and APOE4 levels. This TDP-43 porcine model recapitulates multiple key features of ALS and serves as a valuable complement to existing animal models, providing a robust platform for investigating TDP-43-related pathogenic mechanisms of TDP-43 and developing effective therapeutics.\n\nID: 40902786\nTitle: Intranasal nanoparticle therapy for arsenic-induced neurotoxicity: Restoring IGF-1 signaling and advancing translational neuroprotection.\nAbstract: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a critical neurotrophic hormone involved in central nervous system (CNS) development and neuroprotection, primarily through its regulation of the PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways. Chronic exposure to arsenic, a prevalent environmental neurotoxin, has been increasingly associated with IGF-1 signaling disruption, resulting in oxidative stress, neuronal apoptosis, cognitive dysfunction, and progressive neurodegeneration. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanistic interplay between arsenic-induced neurotoxicity and IGF-1 pathway impairment, emphasizing the molecular and functional consequences on brain health. To address these challenges, we explore emerging nanotechnological strategies, specifically, nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery systems, as promising therapeutic tools. Particular attention is given to intranasal delivery platforms such as liposomes, solid lipid NPs, nanoemulsions, and cubosomes that encapsulate both synthetic and natural neuroprotective agents. Notably, this review presents, for the first time in this context, a comparative evaluation of these NP systems, highlighting their respective advantages, limitations, and brain-targeting capabilities. In addition to synthesizing preclinical evidence, we critically assess translational barriers to clinical implementation, including regulatory hurdles, scalability, and long-term safety considerations. By integrating insights from neurotoxicology, nanomedicine, and translational neuroscience, this review offers a novel perspective on counteracting arsenic-induced cognitive decline and proposes a potential paradigm shift in the treatment of environmentally driven neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nID: 40730695\nTitle: Intranasal delivery route for neurodegenerative diseases: recent insights and future directions.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases are increasingly significant causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, particularly among the elderly. Despite their widespread prevalence, effective treatment options remain inadequate. A significant challenge contributing to this therapeutic gap is the impermeability of the blood-brain barrier to many drugs. Thus, developing new strategies to bypass this barrier and deliver therapeutic agents to the central nervous system (CNS) is crucial. The intranasal (IN) route has emerged as a promising approach in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases. This method of administration is gaining attention as a viable alternative for delivering various pharmacological agents, including proteins, miRNA, and oligonucleotides, to the CNS. It offers advantages over oral and intravenous routes. However, translating IN formulations from preclinical models to clinical practice presents several challenges. Assessing the adequacy of current clinical trials in evaluating IN delivery efficacy is crucial. Furthermore, the introduction of novel formulations such as nanoparticles sparks excitement for enhancing the effectiveness of IN drug administration compared to traditional free drug solutions. This review summarizes recent advancements in delivering therapeutic molecules to the CNS to treat neurodegenerative diseases. We explore critical strategies to overcome the blood-brain barrier obstacle, focusing on recent progress using the IN route as a potential avenue for effective neurodegenerative disease therapies. Additionally, we will delve into the preclinical studies that have provided the basis for the clinical trials conducted.\n\nID: 40680978\nTitle: Nasal nanotherapeutics for central nervous system disorders: Bridging the translational gap in central nervous system drug delivery.\nAbstract: Neurological disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease), cerebrovascular accidents, brain tumors, and functional impairments are becoming an increasingly urgent global health concern, particularly as aging populations expand worldwide. The blood-brain barrier significantly limits current treatment strategies, such as pharmacological therapies (oral or systemic), neurosurgical procedures, and neuromodulation. This highly selective barrier prevents most small-molecule drugs and virtually all biologics from reaching effective concentrations within the central nervous system (CNS), thereby restricting their therapeutic potential. Therefore, traditional drug delivery methods face challenges in effectively delivering therapeutic agents to the CNS. Intranasal delivery circumvents this limitation through direct nose-to-brain transport via olfactory/trigeminal pathways, achieving higher cerebrospinal fluid drug bioavailability compared to intravenous routes. In this review, we present a comprehensive elucidation of the pathophysiology of CNS disorders and the intricate mechanisms governing drug transport from the nasal cavity. Significantly advancing the field, we provide an exhaustive overview of cutting-edge nanocarriers and inhalation devices specifically designed for inhalable formulations, highlighting their unique advantages and limitations. This review combines clinical and engineering insights to evaluate innovative treatment methods through intranasal delivery, while identifying critical research pathways for improving central nervous system therapies.\n\nID: 40657555\nTitle: Nanoplatform-Enabled Genetic Interventions for Central Nervous System Disorders: Advances in Delivery Strategies and Therapeutic Potential.\nAbstract: Central nervous system (CNS) disorders are driven by complex genetic and epigenetic factors. While gene-based interventions (siRNA, mRNA, CRISPR systems, etc.) hold transformative potential, their clinical application is severely constrained by inefficient delivery, especially across the blood-brain barrier. Nanocarriers have emerged as transformative platforms that overcome these challenges by enabling efficient BBB penetration while ensuring precise biodistribution control and enhanced therapeutic payload protection. This review explores recent advances in nanoplatform-enabled genetic intervention that overcome the delivery challenges through innovative engineering approaches. We discuss the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying major CNS pathologies, the current limitations of free nucleic acid therapeutics, the development of advanced nanoplatforms that achieve blood-brain barrier penetration and targeted delivery. We further also evaluate therapeutic prospects across disease models while addressing translational challenges in stability, targeting specificity, and manufacturing scalability. By integrating fundamental research with preclinical applications, this review provides both a theoretical framework and practical roadmap for developing next-generation nanotherapeutics for CNS genetic medicine.\n\nID: 40520058\nTitle: Advancements in Nanotherapeutics for the Treatment of Depression via Intranasal Pathway: A Review.\nAbstract: Depression is a complex psychiatric disorder marked by persistent emotional disturbances such as sadness, hopelessness, and fatigue, frequently accompanied by psychosocial impairments. Current treatment approaches are hindered by limited efficacy, poor patient adherence, and the inability of many therapeutic agents to effectively penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB, a selective and protective interface between the bloodstream and brain tissue, restricts drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS), resulting in suboptimal concentrations of antidepressants at the target site and delayed therapeutic responses. This review explores the limitations of conventional drug delivery systems for depression and highlights the intranasal route as a promising non-invasive alternative for direct brain targeting. Intranasal delivery bypasses hepatic first-pass metabolism and systemic degradation, offering rapid drug absorption and CNS access through olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways. Among emerging strategies, nanotherapeutics have gained increasing attention due to their capacity to improve solubility, protect labile compounds, and provide sustained drug release. Nanoparticles can encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs, enhancing their pharmacokinetics and stability. When administered intranasally, these nanocarriers can directly reach the brain, potentially reducing dosage frequency and enhancing therapeutic outcomes, while minimizing systemic side effects. This review focuses on the latest advancements in intranasal nanotherapeutic formulations for depression, such as polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers. The synergistic integration of nanotechnology and targeted CNS delivery offers a transformative approach to overcome the challenges posed by the BBB and improve depression management. While preclinical findings are promising, further clinical studies are necessary to confirm safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes. Overall, intranasal nanotherapeutics represent a compelling direction for the development of next-generation antidepressant therapies, aiming to achieve faster onset, improved adherence, and enhanced quality of life for patients suffering from depression.\n\nID: 40340385\nTitle: Targeted Nasal Route Delivery of Cationic Anti-TB Drug-Loaded Nano-embedded Microparticles for Mycobacterial Elimination in the CNS.\nAbstract: Central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) is a severe and insidious form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) associated with a high mortality rate, often leading to fatal outcomes or debilitating neurological impairments. The therapeutic regimen for CNS-TB follows an approach similar to that of pulmonary TB but faces significant challenges in effectively reaching the cerebrospinal fluid and achieving therapeutic drug levels in the brain and surrounding fluids. A major obstacle in CNS-TB treatment is the difficulty in permeating the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The nasal route of drug delivery offers a promising approach for targeting anti-TB drugs directly to the infection sites, enabling higher drug concentrations while bypassing the BBB. The present study focused on the development of cationic poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (CS-PLGA NPs) loaded with anti-TB drugs (ATDs), namely, isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF). These CS-PLGA NPs were then processed into dynamic microsized nanoembedded microparticles (NEMs) using spray drying. The ATD-NEMs formulation demonstrated significantly enhanced permeation across RPMI 2650 nasal septum monolayers compared with free ATDs. Intranasal delivery of the NEM formulation to TB-infected mice over a four-week period resulted in a substantial reduction in colony-forming units (CFUs) (1.53 \u00b1 0.50 log10 CFU/gram) compared to the untreated group (4.45 \u00b1 0.67 log10 CFU/gram). Furthermore, the NEM formulation showed improved recovery in histopathological analysis, consistent with CFU reduction. Preclinical data support the feasibility of intranasally administering the NEMs formulation, demonstrating high therapeutic efficacy and the potential to address brain inflammation in the murine CNS-TB model.\n\nID: 40264324\nTitle: Development of Brain Permeable Drugs and Novel Strategies to Overcome the Brain Barriers for Treatment Purposes.\nAbstract: The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), a dynamic and highly selective interface, regulates the exchange of molecules between the circulatory system and the Central Nervous System (CNS). While it protects the brain from toxins and pathogens, it also restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents, posing a significant challenge in treating CNS disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and glioblastoma. This manuscript explores the structural and functional complexity of the BBB, including the roles of tight junctions, adherens junctions, astrocytes, pericytes, and endothelial cells. It highlights the influence of drug physicochemical properties, such as lipophilicity, molecular weight, and hydrogen bonding, on BBB penetration. Current strategies to enhance drug delivery include nanotechnology-based carriers (liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymer-based carriers), receptor-mediated transcytosis, and cell-penetrating peptides. Emerging approaches like focused ultrasound with microbubbles, intranasal delivery, and exosome-mediated transport demonstrate significant potential for bypassing BBB constraints. Gene therapy, employing both viral and nonviral vectors, offers promise for addressing genetic CNS disorders. Despite advances, limitations, such as offtarget effects, limited delivery efficiency, and potential toxicity, remain critical barriers to clinical translation. Future research must prioritize multidisciplinary approaches integrating nanotechnology, personalized medicine, and enhanced understanding of BBB biology. Innovations in non-invasive, targeted delivery systems are essential to overcoming existing challenges and enabling effective treatment of CNS disorders. This review underscores the need for further exploration of these technologies to achieve sustained, site-specific drug delivery, thereby advancing therapeutic interventions for neurological diseases. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical interface that protects the brain but limits drug delivery, posing challenges in treating CNS disorders. Advancing multidisciplinary approaches and innovative delivery systems is essential to overcome these limitations and enable effective therapies for neurological diseases.\n\nID: 40174811\nTitle: Self-Assembled systems for Nose-to-Brain delivery of Temozolamide (TMZ) in brain tumor therapy.\nAbstract: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive and highly invasive primary brain tumor with poor prognosis and resistance to conventional therapies. The therapeutic efficacy of existing treatments is significantly hampered by the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), tumor heterogeneity, and intrinsic drug resistance mechanisms. Temozolomide (TMZ), the standard chemotherapeutic agent for GBM, suffers from low bioavailability, rapid systemic clearance, and enzymatic degradation, limiting its clinical success. This review highlights the potential of self-assembled nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems for enhancing the therapeutic index of TMZ through intranasal administration, which provides a direct and non-invasive route to the brain, circumventing the BBB and improving central nervous system (CNS) drug bioavailability. Self-assembled systems are highly customizable, allowing for precise control over particle size, surface charge, and release profiles, which can be tailored to improve the penetration and retention of TMZ in the brain. We comprehensively discuss recent advancements in polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles, niosomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles, emphasizing their physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, and mechanisms of targeted drug release. Additionally, we explore molecular and oxidative stress-related pathways contributing to GBM progression and TMZ resistance. Emerging research suggests that nanocarrier-based intranasal delivery of TMZ enhances drug stability, prolongs brain retention time, and minimizes systemic toxicity, offering a promising avenue for improving GBM treatment outcomes.\n\nID: 40102637\nTitle: Intranasal Administration of a Novel ApoE-Mimetic Peptide-Coated Gold Nanoparticles as Therapy for Ischemic Stroke.\nAbstract: Discovering new drugs for ischemic stroke is an effective intervention that may address the significant unmet clinical need of stroke. There is increasing evidence indicating that apolipoprotein E (ApoE) can be a potential candidate for the treatment of ischemic stroke. A short ApoE peptide could maintain the anti-inflammation and neuroprotection of the intact protein. Herein, we synthetized a novel ApoE memetic peptide, referred to as CS15, and explored its efficacy and neuroprotection of its innovative formulation of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in transient focal ischemia in rat. We examined anti-inflammatory activities of CS15 using LPS-induced inflammatory response in BV2 cells and in mice. GNPs were prepared by citrate reduction method and surface modified with CS15 to generate CS15-coated GNPs (CS15-GNPs). The accumulation and distribution of CS15-GNPs in the brain were confirmed by detecting the gold amount and fluorescent intensity. The neuroprotection of CS15 and CS15-GNPs was evaluate using middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. The results showed that CS15 exhibited more potent anti-inflammation than COG1410. GNPs are capable of transporting CS15 to the brain, expanding its duration of action. Intranasal administration of CS15-GNPs notably reduced infarct size and neuronal damage, improved neurological function and inhibited cerebral inflammation in transient focal ischemia in rat, which had much higher efficiency than free CS15. CS15-GNPs exhibited favorable neuroprotection and biosafety. This study develops an innovative ApoE-mimetic peptide-capped GNPs, which provides a potential strategy for the treatment of ischemic stroke.\n\nID: 40095208\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Lithium Salt Suppresses Inflammatory Pyroptosis in the Brain and Ameliorates Memory Loss and Depression-like Behavior in 5XFAD Mice.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease (AD) and has no treatment that can cure or halt the disease progression. This study explored the therapeutic potential of lithium salt dissolved in Ryanodex formulation vehicle (RFV) and delivered to the brain by intranasal application. We first compared lithium concentrations in the brain and blood of wild-type mice following intranasal or oral administration of lithium chloride (LiCl) dissolved in either RFV or water. The beneficial and side effects of intranasal versus oral LiCl in RFV in these mice were assessed and potential mechanisms underlying the efficacy of anti-inflammation and anti-pyroptosis in the brains were also investigated in both wild-type and 5XFAD Alzheimer's Disease (AD) mice brains. For the study of brain versus blood lithium concentrations, wild-type (WT) B6SJLF1/J mice at 2\u00a0months of age were treated with intranasal or oral LiCl (3\u00a0mmol/kg) dissolved in RFV or in water. Brain and blood lithium concentrations were measured at various times after drugs administration. Brain/blood lithium concentration ratios were then determined. For studying therapeutic efficacy versus side effects and their underlying mechanisms, 5XFAD and WT B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with intranasal LiCl (3\u00a0mmol/kg) daily, Monday to Friday each week, in RFV beginning at 2 or 9\u00a0months of age with a 12-week treatment duration. Animal behaviors were assessed for depression (tail suspension), cognition (fear conditioning and Y maze), olfaction (buried food test), and motor functions (rotarod) at the age of 5 and 12\u00a0months. Blood and brain tissue were harvested from these mice at 13\u00a0months. Blood biomarkers for the functions of thyroid (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) and kidney (creatinine) were measured using ELISA. Changes in protein expression levels of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels type 1 InsP3 receptors (InsP3R-1), malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified proteins and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), pyroptosis regulatory proteins (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal of Gasdermin D (GSDMD)), cytotoxic (IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) and cytoprotective (IL-10) cytokines and synapse proteins (PSD-95, synapsin-1) were determined using immunoblotting. Mouse body weights were monitored regularly. Compared to oral LiCl in RFV nanoparticles, intranasal treatment of WT mice with LiCl in RFV markedly decreased blood concentrations at the time range of 30-120\u00a0min. The ratio of brain/blood lithium concentration after intranasal lithium chloride in RFV significantly increased, in comparison to those after oral administration lithium chloride in RFV or intranasal administration of lithium chloride in water. Intranasal lithium chloride in RFV inhibited both memory loss and depressive behavior in adult and aged 5XFAD mice. Additionally intranasal treatment of aged 5XFAD mice with LiCl in RFV effectively suppressed the increases in InsP3R-1, intracellular oxidative stress markers (4-HNE-bound and MDA-modified proteins), pyroptosis activation proteins (NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal GSDMD) and cytotoxic cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1), but reversed the down-regulation of cytoprotective cytokine IL-10. Intranasal LiCl in RFV also alleviated the loss of the postsynaptic synapse proteins PSD-95, but not synapsin-1, in aged 5XFAD mice. Blood level of the kidney function marker creatinine was significantly increased in 5XFAD than in WT mice in an age-dependent manner and this elevation was abolished by intranasal delivery of LiCl in RFV. Intranasal LiCl in RFV for 12\u00a0weeks in both WT or 5XFAD mice did not affect blood biomarkers for thyroid function, nor did it affect smell or muscle function or body weight. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV significantly decreased lithium blood concentrations and increased brain/blood lithium concentration ratio, in comparison to its oral administration. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV robustly protected against both memory loss and depressive-like behavior, while had no side effects concerning thyroid and kidney toxicity in 5XFAD mice. These lithium-induced beneficial effects were strongly associated with lithium's suppression of InsP3R-1 Ca2+ channel receptor increase, pathological neuroinflammation and activation of the pyroptosis pathway, as well as the loss of the synaptic protein PSD-95. Intranasal delivery of lithium salt in RFV could become an effective and potent inhibitor of pathological inflammation/pyroptosis in the CNS and serve as a new treatment for both AD-associated dementia and depression with minimal unwanted side effects including peripheral organ toxicity.\n\nID: 40015643\nTitle: Dissecting the mechanism of NOP56 GGCCUG repeat-associated non-AUG translation using cell-free translation systems.\nAbstract: The repeat expansion in the human genome contributes to neurodegenerative disorders such as spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Transcripts with repeat expansions undergo noncanonical translation called repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. The NOP56 gene, implicated in SCA36, contains a GGCCTG repeat in its first intron. In tissues of patients with SCA36, poly (Gly-Pro) and poly (Pro-Arg) peptides, likely produced through NOP56 RAN translation in (NOP56-RAN), have been detected. However, the detailed mechanism underlying NOP56-RAN remains unclear. To address this, we used cell-free translation systems to investigate the mechanism of NOP56-RAN and identified the following features. (i) Translation occurs in all reading frames of the sense strand of NOP56 intron 1. (ii) Translation is initiated in a 5' cap-dependent manner from near-cognate start codons upstream of the GGCCUG repeat in each frame. (iii) Longer GGCCUG repeats enhance NOP56-RAN. (iv) A frameshift occurs within the GGCCUG repeat. These findings provide insights into the similarities between NOP56-RAN and other types of RAN translation.\n\nID: 39936620\nTitle: Heat-shock chaperone HSPB1 mitigates poly-glycine-induced neurodegeneration via restoration of autophagic flux.\nAbstract: The CGG repeat expansions in the 5'-UTR regions of certain genes have been implicated in various neurodegenerative and muscular disorders. However, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we explore the role of the small molecular chaperone HSPB1 in counteracting neurodegeneration induced by poly-glycine (poly-G) aggregates. Employing a reporter system, we demonstrate that CGG repeat expansions within the 5'-UTR of the GIPC1 gene produce poly-G proteins, by repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. Through proximity labeling and subsequent mass spectrometry analysis, we characterize the composition of poly-G insoluble aggregates and reveal that these aggregates sequester key macroautophagy/autophagy receptors, SQSTM1/p62 and TOLLIP. This sequestration disrupts MAP1LC3/LC3 recruitment and impairs autophagosome formation, thereby compromising the autophagic pathway. Importantly, we show that HSPB1 facilitates the dissociation of these receptors from poly-G aggregates and consequently restores autophagic function. Overexpressing HSPB1 alleviates poly-G-induced neurodegeneration in mouse models. Taken together, these findings highlight a mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective effects of HSPB1 and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target in treating poly-G-associated neurodegenerative diseases.Abbreviations: AD: Alzheimer disease; AIF1/Iba1: allograft inflammatory factor 1; Baf A1: bafilomycin A1; BFP: blue fluorescent protein; CQ: chloroquine; EIF2A/eIF-2\u03b1: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A; FRAP: fluorescence recovery after photobleaching; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; GFAP: glial fibrillary acidic protein; GFP: green fluorescent protein; HSPB1: heat shock protein family B (small) member 1; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; NOTCH2NLC: notch 2 N-terminal like C; PD: Parkinson disease; PFA: paraformaldehyde; poly-A: poly-alanine; poly-G: poly-glycine; poly-R: poly-arginine; RAN translation: repeat-associated non-AUG translation; RBFOX3/NeuN: RNA binding fox-1\u00a0homolog 3; STED: stimulated emission depletion; TARDBP/TDP-43: TAR DNA binding protein; TG: thapsigargin; TOLLIP: toll interacting protein.\n\nID: 39935823\nTitle: A comprehensive insight of innovations and recent advancements in nanocarriers for nose-to-brain drug targeting.\nAbstract: Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders are the leading cause of illness and affect the everyday lives of people all around the globe and are predicted to increase tremendously in the upcoming decades. Traditional methods of delivering drugs to the CNS face considerable limitations. Nose-to-brain targeting offers a promising alternative that bypasses the blood-brain barrier (BBB), enabling targeted drug administration to the central nervous system (CNS). Nanotechnology has brought forward innovative solutions to the challenges of drug delivery in CNS disorders. Nanocarriers such as liposomes, nanoparticles, nanoemulsions and dendrimers can enhance drug stability, bioavailability, and targeted delivery to the brain. These nanocarriers are designed to overcome physiological barriers and provide controlled and sustained drug release directly to the CNS. Nanocarrier technology has made significant strides in recent years, enabling more effective and targeted delivery of drugs to the brain. With recent advancements, intranasal delivery coupled with nanocarriers seems to be a promising combination that can provide better clinical profiles, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics for neurodegenerative disorders. This study focuses on exploring the nose-to-brain drug delivery system, emphasizing the use of various nanocarriers designed for this purpose. Additionally, the study encompasses recent advancements in nanocarrier technology tailored specifically to improve the efficiency of drug administration through the nasal route to the brain.\n\nID: 39900701\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Paclitaxel-Loaded Ligand Conjugated Polymeric Nanoparticles for Targeted Brain Delivery.\nAbstract: Compared to the conventional blood-brain barrier crossing over, nose-to-brain delivery provides a potentially effective substitution, particularly when large molecules of drugs need to be delivered. The majority of macromolecules degrade quickly in a physiological environment. Therefore, drug molecules can be protected against early breakdown by using nanocarrier systems. Targeting nanocarrier system with ligand potential of enhancing bioavailability due to tailored binding affinity to targeting site. In the current study, we prepared paclitaxel (PTX)\u00a0loaded ascorbic acid (AA) conjugated polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles (NPs) for intranasal administration. Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) were prepared using the solvent evaporation method, which was further analyzed for particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), surface charge, encapsulation-efficiency (EE), drug loading (DL), surface morphology, in-vitro drug release, and in-vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation. Results showed the optimized PTX-PNPs showed particle size 114.7\u2009\u00b1\u20092.96\u00a0nm, zeta potential -27.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.63\u00a0mV, with entrapment efficiency 97.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.41%, and drug loading 35.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.38%. In-vitro PTX release showed a biphasic release pattern, primary burst release followed by sustained release was observed. An in-vivo pharmacokinetic study showed a 5.6-fold increase in the PTX concentration reaching to the brain. Histopathological results of the nasal mucosa showed minimal alteration after 72\u00a0h of administering surface-modified paclitaxel loaded polymeric nanoparticles (AA-PTX-PNPs). Thus, this study highlighted the suitability of a AA-PTX-PNPs as a promising strategy for intranasal administration therapy for various brain disorders.\n\nID: 39894221\nTitle: Polyamines enhance repeat-associated non-AUG translation from CCUG repeats by stabilizing the tertiary structure of RNA.\nAbstract: Repeat expansion disorders are caused by abnormal expansion of microsatellite repeats. Repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation is one of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying repeat expansion disorders, but the exact molecular mechanism underlying RAN translation remains unclear. Polyamines are ubiquitous biogenic amines that are essential for cell proliferation and cellular functions. They are predominantly found in cells in complexes with RNA and influence many cellular events, but the relationship between polyamines and RAN translation is yet to be explored. Here, we show that, in both a cell-free protein synthesis system and cell culture, polyamines promote RAN translation of RNA-containing CCUG repeats. The CCUG-dependent RAN translation is suppressed when cells are depleted of polyamines but can be recovered by the addition of polyamines. Thermal stability analysis revealed that the tertiary structure of the CCUG-repeat RNA is stabilized by the polyamines. Spermine was the most effective polyamine for stabilizing CCUG-repeat RNA and enhancing RAN translation. These results suggest that polyamines, particularly spermine, modulate RAN translation of CCUG-repeat RNA by stabilizing the tertiary structure of the repeat RNA.\n\nID: 39870153\nTitle: Enhanced nasal-to-brain drug delivery by multivalent bioadhesive nanoparticle clusters for cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury protection.\nAbstract: Following cerebral ischemia, reperfusion injury can worsen ischemia-induced functional, metabolic disturbances, and pathological damage upon blood flow restoration, potentially leading to irreversible harm. Yet, there's a dearth of advanced, localized drug delivery systems ensuring active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) efficacy in cerebral protection during ischemia-reperfusion. This study introduces a multivalent bioadhesive nanoparticle-cluster, merging bioadhesive nanoparticles (BNPs) with dendritic polyamidoamine (PAMAM), enhancing nose-to-brain delivery and brain protection efficacy against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries (CIRI). The BNPs-PAMAM cluster exhibits superior adhesion within the rat nasal cavity, prolonged retention, enabling sustained drug release, cerebral transportation, and accumulation, resulting in enhanced intracerebral pharmacokinetic profile. Intranasal administration circumvents systemic delivery challenges, ensuring CIRI protection drugs reach ischemic areas pre-reperfusion, overcoming thrombus-related delays. Administering BNPs-PAMAM loaded with dexmedetomidine (DEX) pre-reperfusion effectively prevents neuron apoptosis by \u03b12-adrenoceptor activation, modulating the ischemic microenvironment, exerting triple neuroprotective effects against cerebral reperfusion injury. Importantly, only therapeutic DEX releases and accumulates in the nasal cavity, averting brain nanomaterial toxicity, promising for repeat administrations. This study presents a translational platform for nasal-to-brain drug delivery in CNS disease treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Innovative Drug Delivery System: This study introduces a multivalent bioadhesive nanoparticle-cluster (BNPs-PAMAM) to enhance nasal-to-brain drug delivery for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) treatment. Enhanced Retention and Efficacy: The BNPs-PAMAM system significantly improves drug retention in the nasal cavity and ensures sustained release, thereby enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of the neuroprotective agent dexmedetomidine (DEX). Blood-Brain Barrier Circumvention: By leveraging intranasal administration, the system bypasses the blood-brain barrier, delivering DEX directly to ischemic brain regions before reperfusion and minimizing systemic side effects. Triple Neuroprotective Effects for CIRI protection: DEX delivered via BNPs-PAMAM effectively reduces oxidative stress and inflammation while enhancing mitochondrial autophagy, providing comprehensive protection against neuronal damage.\n\nID: 39694161\nTitle: The use of nanocarriers in treating Batten disease: A systematic review.\nAbstract: The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, commonly known as Batten disease, are a group of lysosomal storage disorders affecting children. There is extensive central nervous system and retinal degeneration, resulting in seizures, vision loss and a progressive cognitive and motor decline. Enzyme replacement and gene therapies are being developed, and mRNA and oligonucleotide therapies are more recently being considered. Overcoming the challenges of the blood-brain barrier and blood-ocular barrier is crucial for effectively targeting the brain and eye, whatever the therapeutic approach. Nanoparticles and extracellular vesicles are small carriers that can encapsulate a cargo and pass through these cell barriers. They have been investigated as drug carriers for other pathologies and could be a promising treatment strategy for Batten disease. Their use in gene, enzyme, or mRNA replacement therapy of all lysosomal storage disorders, including Mucopolysaccharidoses, Niemann-Pick diseases, and Fabry disease, is investigated in this systematic review. Different nanocarriers can efficiently target the lysosome and cross the barriers into the brain and eyes. This supports continued exploration of nanocarriers as potential future treatment options for Batten disease.\n\nID: 39606563\nTitle: Nose to Brain: Exploring the Progress of Intranasal Delivery of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers.\nAbstract: The intranasal (IN) route of drug delivery can effectively penetrate the blood-brain barrier and deliver drugs directly to the brain for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders via intra-neuronal or extra-neuronal pathways. This approach has several advantages, including avoidance of first-pass metabolism, high bioavailability, ease of administration, and improved patient compliance. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have been conducted using drugs encapsulated in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), and delivering them to the brain via the IN pathway. SLNs are the first-generation solid lipid nanocarriers, known for their excellent biocompatibility, high drug-loading capacity, and remarkable stability. NLCs, regarded as the second-generation SLNs, not only retain the advantages of SLNs but also exhibit enhanced stability, effectively preventing drug leakage during storage. In this review, we examined in vivo studies conducted between 2019 and 2024 that used SLNs and NLCs to address CNS disorders via the IN route. By using statistical methods to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters, we found that IN delivery of SLNs and NLCs markedly enhanced drug accumulation and targeting within the brain. Additionally, pharmacodynamic evaluations indicated that this delivery method substantially improved the therapeutic effectiveness of the drugs in alleviating symptoms in rat models of CNS diseases. In addition, methods for enhancing the efficacy of nose-to-brain delivery of SLNs and NLCs are discussed, as well as advances in clinical trials regarding SLNs and NLCs. Traditional drug administration routes for the treatment of central nervous system diseases have many limitations due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The intranasal drug administration route crosses the BBB through intra-neuronal pathways as well as extra-neuronal pathways and delivers drugs directly to the brain. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are a type of nanoparticles whose surface is covered by amphoteric surfactants and whose interior is filled with a lipid core. They have the advantages of good biocompatibility, strong drug loading capacity, and strong stability, and can be obtained through a variety of reliable preparation methods. Encapsulating therapeutic drugs into SLNs and NLCs for intranasal delivery can significantly increase drug delivery efficiency and enhance efficacy. In addition, there are various ways to further enhance drug delivery of SLNs and NLCs, such as using gel systems such as chitosan to encapsulate the nanoparticles, piggybacking cell-penetrating peptides onto the surface of the nanoparticles, and modifying the nanoparticles, surface charge of particles, etc.\n\nID: 39559726\nTitle: Nanotechnological approaches for efficient N2B delivery: from small-molecule drugs to biopharmaceuticals.\nAbstract: Central nervous system diseases negatively affect patients and society. Providing successful noninvasive treatments for these diseases is challenging because of the presence of the blood-brain barrier. While protecting the brain's homeostasis, the barrier limits the passage of almost all large-molecule drugs and most small-molecule drugs. A noninvasive method, nose-to-brain delivery (N2B delivery) has been proposed to overcome this challenge. By exploiting the direct anatomical interaction between the nose and the brain, the drugs can reach the target, the brain. Moreover, the drugs can be encapsulated into various drug delivery systems to enhance physicochemical characteristics and targeting success. Many preclinical data show that this strategy can effectively deliver biopharmaceuticals to the brain. Therefore, this review focuses on N2B delivery while giving examples of different drug delivery systems suitable for the applications. In addition, we emphasize the importance of the effective delivery of monoclonal antibodies and RNA and stress the recent literature tackling this challenge. While giving examples of nanotechnological approaches for the effective delivery of small or large molecules from the current literature, we highlight the preclinical studies and their results to prove the strategies' success and limitations.\n\nID: 39345574\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Lithium Salt Suppresses Inflammatory Pyroptosis in the brain and Ameliorates Memory Loss and Depression-like Behavior in 5XFAD mice.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease (AD) and has no treatment that can cure or halt the disease progression. This study explored the therapeutic potential of lithium salt dissolved in Ryanodex formulation vehicle (RFV) and delivered to the brain by intranasal application. We first compared lithium concentrations in the brain and blood of wild-type mice following intranasal or oral administration of lithium chloride (LiCl) dissolved in either RFV or water. The beneficial and side effects of intranasal versus oral LiCl in RFV in these mice were assessed and potential mechanisms underlying the efficacy of anti-inflammation and anti-pyroptosis in the brains were also investigated in both wild-type (WT) and 5XFAD Alzheimer's Disease (AD) mice brains. For the study of brain versus blood lithium concentrations, WT B6SJLF1/J mice at 2 months of age were treated with intranasal or oral LiCl (3 mmol/kg) dissolved in RFV or in water. Brain and blood lithium concentrations were measured at various times after drugs administration. Brain/blood lithium concentration ratios were then determined. For studying therapeutic efficacy versus side effects and their underlying mechanisms, 5XFAD and WT B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with intranasal LiCl (3 mmol/kg) daily, Monday to Friday each week, in RFV beginning at 2 or 9 months of age with a 12-week treatment duration. Animal behaviors were assessed for depression (tail suspension), cognition (fear conditioning and Y maze), olfaction (buried food test), and motor functions (rotarod) at the age of 5 and 12 months. Blood and brain tissue were harvested from these mice at 13 months. Blood biomarkers for the functions of thyroid (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) and kidney (creatinine) were measured using ELISA. Changes in protein expression levels of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels type 1 InsP3 receptors (InsP3R-1), malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified proteins and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), pyroptosis regulatory proteins (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal of Gasdermin D (GSDMD)), cytotoxic (IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) and cytoprotective (IL-10) cytokines and synapse proteins (PSD-95, synapsin-1) were determined using immunoblotting. Mouse body weights were monitored regularly. Compared to oral LiCl in RFV nanoparticles, intranasal treatment of WT mice with LiCl in RFV markedly decreased blood concentrations at the time frame of 30-120 minutes. The ratio of brain/blood lithium concentration after Intranasal lithium chloride in RFV significantly increased, in comparison to those after oral administration lithium chloride in RFV or intranasal administration of lithium chloride in water. Intranasal lithium chloride in RFV inhibited both memory loss and depressive behavior in adult and aged 5XFAD mice. Additionally intranasal treatment of aged 5XFAD mice with LiCl in RFV effectively suppressed the increases in InsP3R-1, intracellular oxidative stress markers (4-HNE-bound and MDA-modified proteins), pyroptosis activation proteins (NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal GSDMD) and cytotoxic cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1), but reversed the down-regulation of cytoprotective cytokine IL-10. Intranasal LiCl in RFV also alleviated the loss of the postsynaptic synapse protein PSD-95, but not synapsin-1, in aged 5XFAD mice. Blood level of the kidney function marker creatinine was significantly increased in 5XFAD than in WT mice in an age-dependent manner and this elevation was abolished by intranasal delivery of LiCl in RFV. Intranasal LiCl in RFV for 12 weeks in both WT or 5XFAD mice did not affect blood biomarkers for thyroid function, nor did it affect smell or muscle function or body weight. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV significantly decreased lithium blood concentrations and increased brain/blood lithium concentration ratio, in comparison to its oral administration. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV robustly protected against both memory loss and depressive-like behavior, while had no side effects concerning thyroid and kidney toxicity in 5XFAD mice. These lithium-induced beneficial effects were strongly associated with lithium's suppression of InsP3R-1 Ca2+ channel receptor increase, pathological neuroinflammation and activation of the pyroptosis pathway, as well as the loss of some synaptic proteins. Intranasal delivery of lithium salt in RFV could become an effective and potent inhibitor of pathological inflammation/pyroptosis in the CNS and serve as a new treatment for both AD-associated dementia and depression with minimal unwanted side effects including peripheral organ toxicity.\n\nID: 39340392\nTitle: Recent progress in nanoparticulate-based intranasal delivery for treating of\u00a0different central nervous system diseases.\nAbstract: Drug administration to the central nervous system (CNS) has become a great obstacle because of several biological barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier, therefore, brain targeting insights are a light for scientists to move forward for treating neurogenerative diseases using advanced non-invasive methods. The current demand is to use a potential direct route as the nasal administration to transport drugs into the brain enhancing the BBB permeability and hence, increasing the bioavailability. Interestingly, recent techniques have been implanted in formulating nanocarriers-based therapeutics for targeting and treating ischemic stroke using lipid or polymeric-based materials. Nanoparticulate delivery systems are set as an effective platform for brain targeting as polymeric nanoparticles and polymeric micelles or nanocarriers based on lipids for preventing drug efflux to promote optimal therapeutic medication concentration in the brain-diseased site. In recent years, there has been a notable increase in research publications and ongoing investigations on the utilization of drug-loading nanocarriers for the treatment of diverse CNS diseases. This review comprehensively depicts these dangerous neurological disorders, drug targeting challenges to CNS, and potential contributions as novel intranasal nano-formulations are being used to treat and regulate a variety of neurological diseases.\n\nID: 39237682\nTitle: Lysosomal TMEM106B interacts with galactosylceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism.\nAbstract: TMEM106B is an endolysosomal transmembrane protein not only associated with multiple neurological disorders including frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and hypomyelinating leukodystrophy but also potentially involved in COVID-19. Additionally, recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains. However, so far little is known about physiological functions of TMEM106B in the endolysosome and how TMEM106B is involved in a wide range of human conditions at molecular levels. Here, we performed lipidomic analysis of the brain of TMEM106B-deficient mice. We found that TMEM106B deficiency significantly decreases levels of two major classes of myelin lipids, galactosylceramide and its sulfated derivative sulfatide. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that TMEM106B physically interacts with galactosylceramidase. We also found that galactosylceramidase activity was significantly increased in TMEM106B-deficient brains. Thus, our results suggest that TMEM106B interacts with galactosylceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism and have implications for TMEM106B-associated diseases.\n\nID: 38718958\nTitle: Exogenous polyserine fibrils change membrane properties of phosphatidylcholine-liposome and red blood cells.\nAbstract: The causative genes for neurodegenerative polyglutamine (polyQ) diseases produce homopolymeric polyglutamine (polyQ), polyserine (polyS), polyalanine (polyA), polycysteine (polyC), and polyleucine (polyL) sequences by repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. The cytotoxicity of the intracellular polyQ and RAN products has been extensively investigated. However, little is known about the toxicity of the extracellular polyQ and RAN products on the membranes of viable cells. Because polyQ aggregates induce a deflated morphology of a model membrane, we hypothesized that extracellular polyQ and RAN products might affect the membrane properties of viable cells. In this study, we demonstrated that exogenous polyS fibrils but not polyS or polyQ non-fibril aggregates altered the thermal phase transition behavior of a model membrane composed of a phosphatidylcholine bilayer using differential scanning calorimetry. PolyS fibrils induced morphological changes in viable red blood cells (RBCs). However, both polyS and polyQ non-fibril aggregates had no effects on RBCs. These results highlight the possibility that extracellular fibrils generated from RAN products may alter the properties of neuronal cell membranes, which may contribute to changes in the brain pathology.\n\nID: 38633784\nTitle: Gene specific effects on brain volume and cognition of TMEM106B in frontotemporal lobar degeneration.\nAbstract: TMEM106B has been proposed as a modifier of disease risk in FTLD-TDP, particularly in GRN mutation carriers. Furthermore, TMEM106B has been investigated as a disease modifier in the context of healthy aging and across multiple neurodegenerative diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the effect of TMEM106B on gray matter volume and cognition in each of the common genetic FTD groups and in sporadic FTD patients. Participants were enrolled through the ARTFL/LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ALLFTD) study, which includes symptomatic and presymptomatic individuals with a pathogenic mutation in C9orf72, GRN, MAPT, VCP, TBK1, TARDBP, symptomatic non-mutation carriers, and non-carrier family controls. All participants were genotyped for the TMEM106B rs1990622 SNP. Cross-sectionally, linear mixed-effects models were fitted to assess an association between TMEM106B and genetic group interaction with each outcome measure (gray matter volume and UDS3-EF for cognition), adjusting for education, age, sex and CDR\u00ae+NACC-FTLD sum of boxes. Subsequently, associations between TMEM106B and each outcome measure were investigated within the genetic group. For longitudinal modeling, linear mixed-effects models with time by TMEM106B predictor interactions were fitted. The minor allele of TMEM106B rs1990622, linked to a decreased risk of FTD, associated with greater gray matter volume in GRN mutation carriers under the recessive dosage model. This was most pronounced in the thalamus in the left hemisphere, with a retained association when considering presymptomatic GRN mutation carriers only. The minor allele of TMEM106B rs1990622 also associated with greater cognitive scores among all C9orf72 mutation carriers and in presymptomatic C9orf72 mutation carriers, under the recessive dosage model. We identified associations of TMEM106B with gray matter volume and cognition in the presence of GRN and C9orf72 mutations. This further supports TMEM106B as modifier of TDP-43 pathology. The association of TMEM106B with outcomes of interest in presymptomatic GRN and C9orf72 mutation carriers could additionally reflect TMEM106B's impact on divergent pathophysiological changes before the appearance of clinical symptoms.\n\nID: 42555669\nTitle: Glial cell toxicity in a Drosophila C9orf72 neurodegeneration model.\nAbstract: The most common genetic cause of both familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an expanded G4C2 repeat in the first intron of the gene C9orf72. The C9orf72 repeat expansion is bidirectionally transcribed into sense and anti-sense RNA foci, and also produces dipeptide repeats (DPRs) via a non-canonical translation mechanism known as repeat-associated (RAN) translation. Each of these components of the G4C2 repeat expansion cause neurodegenerative effects in animal models when expressed in neurons, but impacts from glial expression are more poorly understood. Here, we use glial cell type-specific expression of individual DPRs, of RNA repeat-only, or of the G4C2 repeat, that produces both DPRs and RNA repeats, to systematically investigate glial toxicity of each component. We find that as with neurons, the GR and G4C2 transgenes produce the highest degree of toxicity when expressed in glia. Each of these transgenes are capable to produce the GR DPR, which also is the most toxic factor in neurons. We demonstrate that both the GR and G4C2 transgenes cause activation of mdg4, an endogenous retrovirus (ERV). Such ERV expression is a hallmark of TDP-43 dysfunction that is commonly observed in C9orf72 patients. We find that glial expression of either the GR or the G4C2 transgene is toxic to glial cells, but such expression does not cause loss nearby neurons. However, blocking apoptotic signaling within glia that express either GR or G4C2 via expression of the p35 caspase inhibitor further exacerbates effects on lifespan and ablating such glia via expression of the proapoptotic reaper gene partially ameliorates these effects. Together, these results indicate that expression of toxic C9orf72 components in glia produces deleterious effects on lifespan, though potentially through different mechanisms than seen in TDP-43 models of ALS/FTD.\n\nID: 42010364\nTitle: Optimizing Pichia Pastoris Cell-Free Protein Synthesis to Improve Economics.\nAbstract: Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) is a powerful and versatile platform that supports a wide range of applications, from fundamental studies of the genetic code to scalable and rapid protein production. The recently developed Pichia pastoris CFPS combines advantages of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, including a rapid growth rate, inexpensive cultivation media, a well-established genetic toolbox, and the capability to perform post-translational modifications (PTMs). As such, it represents a promising alternative for both academic research and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. However, its broader application has been limited by relatively low protein yields and high reagent costs. In this study, building on a previously optimized reaction protocol, we further advanced the P. pastoris CFPS towards a more economical and efficient platform by reducing the cost of protein production. Through systematic screening of chemical additives and their combinations, we identified the most effective stabilizers and crowding agents to be incorporated in the reaction. Additionally, we applied a machine learning model to predict translation initiation rates and optimized the Kozak sequence for enhanced expression. We also evaluated lower-cost glycolytic intermediates as alternative substrates for ATP regeneration to reduce the cost of goods. Compared with the initial baseline condition using the unoptimized CrP/CrK system, the optimized system, incorporating a modified Kozak sequence and the addition of PEG-6000 and spermidine, resulted in a 10-fold increase in protein yield, while reducing the cost per gram of protein by 89%. This work underscores the importance of protein-stabilizing additives and the role of rationally designed DNA sequences with minimized mRNA structural complexity to enhance yield in CFPS. Our demonstration of glycolytic intermediates as a potential secondary energy system additionally provides the foundation for the development of a cost-effective P. pastoris CFPS.\n\nID: 41688997\nTitle: Cross-kingdom miRNA delivery by Panax notoginseng-derived extracellular-like nanoparticles vesicles restores neuronal function after ischemic injury.\nAbstract: Blood-brain barrier (BBB) impermeability remains a major obstacle to the effective treatment of neurological disorders, particularly ischemic stroke. Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models. Mechanistically, NotoEV delivered conserved plant microRNAs to recipient neurons, where they suppressed key stress granule nucleators GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 2 (G3bp2), Ubiquitin-associated protein 2 like (Ubap2l), and LSM14A mRNA processing body assembly factor (Lsm14a), activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, and promoted mitochondrial stabilization via the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/ Translocase Of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) axis. This cross-kingdom RNA delivery reprogrammed neuronal stress responses, reduced infarct volume, preserved neuronal morphology, and restored electrophysiological function. Collectively, our findings establish a scalable platform for plant-based nanotherapeutics and highlight the translational potential of NotoEV in treating ischemic stroke.\n\nID: 41278665\nTitle: Glial cell-intrinsic and non-cell autonomous toxicity in a Drosophila C9orf72 neurodegeneration model.\nAbstract: The most common genetic cause of both familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an expanded G4C2 repeat in the first intron of the gene C9orf72. The C9orf72 repeat expansion is bidirectionally transcribed into sense and anti-sense RNA foci, and also produces dipeptide repeats (DPRs) via a non-canonical translation mechanism known as repeat-associated (RAN) translation. Each of these components of the G4C2 repeat expansion cause neurodegenerative effects in animal models when expressed in neurons, but impacts from glial expression are more poorly understood. Here, we use glial cell type-specific expression of individual DPRs, of RNA repeat-only, or of the G4C2 repeat that is capable of producing both DPRs and RNA repeats to systematically investigate both the glial cell-intrinsic and non-cell autonomous toxicity of each of these components. Our results show that as with neurons, the GR and G4C2 transgenes, produce the highest degree of cell-intrinsic toxicity when expressed in glia. Both of these transgenes are capable of producing the GR DPR, which is also typically found to be the most toxic factor in neurons. We demonstrate that both the GR and G4C2 transgenes cause activation of mdg4, an endogenous retrovirus (ERV). Such ERV expression is a hallmark of TDP-43 dysfunction that is commonly observed in C9orf72 patients and contributes to both cell intrinsic and non-cell autonomous toxicity. We find that only the G4C2 transgene produces measurable non-cell autonomous effects that result in loss of nearby neurons. But manipulations of apoptosis reveal non-cell autonomous or systemic effects from either GR or G4C2 expressing glia. Blocking apoptotic cell death of either GR or G4C2 expressing glia via the p35 caspase inhibitor further exacerbates effects on lifespan and ablating such glia via expression of the proapoptotic reaper gene partially ameliorates these effects.\n\nID: 40617352\nTitle: Polyamines stimulate the protein synthesis of the translation initiation factor eIF5A2, participating in mRNA decoding, distinct from eIF5A1.\nAbstract: Polyamines are present in all living organisms, and their homeostasis is closely associated with human health and disease. Furthermore, they are small aliphatic cations that exhibit multifunctional activities through interactions with acidic substances, thereby precluding our understanding of their molecular functions in biological processes. eIF5A1 and eIF5A2 share high amino acid sequence similarity, and hypusination, using spermidine, is essential for their functions. eIF5A1 is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues and is essential for normal cell growth, whereas eIF5A2 is often expressed in human cancer tissues; however, the functional differences between eIF5A1 and eIF5A2 remain unclear. Here, we found that eIF5A2 is regulated by polyamines at the translational level and that eIF5A2, rather than eIF5A1, is important for cancer cell growth. The translational initiation of eIF5A2 mRNA was negatively regulated by miR-6514-5p at the 5'-UTR, and polyamines inhibited this miRNA function, facilitating eIF5A2 synthesis. A proteomic analysis of cells with either eIF5A1 or eIF5A2 silenced showed distinct profiles. In addition, polyamines upregulated the expression of five ribosomal proteins, particularly RPS27A, RPL36A, and RPL22L1, which are associated with cancer malignancy. Our findings reveal an important role for eIF5A2, regulated by polyamines and miR-6514-5p, in cancer cell proliferation, suggesting that the interaction between eIF5A2 and ribosomes, which regulate cancer progression, is a selective target for cancer treatment.\n\nID: 40382135\nTitle: Yeast reconstituted translation assays for analysis of eIF5A function.\nAbstract: Polyamines are critically important for protein synthesis. Through their positive ionic charge, polyamines readily bind to ribosomes, as well as to mRNAs and tRNAs. Moreover, the polyamine spermidine serves as a substrate for the synthesis of hypusine, an essential post-translational modification on the translation factor eIF5A. Though originally thought to function in translation initiation, eIF5A is now known to generally promote translation elongation and termination. Moreover, translation of certain motifs like polyproline show a greater dependency on eIF5A. In this chapter, we describe the biochemical assays we use to study eIF5A and its regulation. Owing to the complex nature of protein synthesis, these assays require the purification of over 10 translation factors plus ribosomes, tRNAs, and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. We describe the methods used to purify these components, to synthesize the mRNA templates for translation, and to resolve the translation products by electrophoretic thin-layer chromatography. With the recent identification of eIF5A as a key target for regulating the synthesis of polyamine synthesis and transport, and the recent identification of mutations in eIF5A causing a neurodevelopmental disorder, the assays described in this chapter will be useful in further elucidating the function and regulation of this enigmatic protein.\n\nID: 40269985\nTitle: Increased TMEM106B levels lead to lysosomal dysfunction which affects synaptic signaling and neuronal health.\nAbstract: Genetic variation in Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) is known to influence the risk and presentation in several neurodegenerative diseases and modifies healthy aging. While evidence from human studies suggests that the risk allele is associated with higher levels of TMEM106B, the contribution of elevated levels of TMEM106B to neurodegeneration and aging has not been assessed and it remains unclear how TMEM106B modulates disease risk. To study the effect of increased TMEM106B levels, we generated Cre-inducible transgenic mice expressing human wild-type TMEM106B. We evaluated lysosomal and neuronal health using in vitro and in vivo assays including transmission electron microscopy, immunostainings, behavioral testing, electrophysiology, and bulk RNA sequencing. We created the first transgenic mouse model that successfully overexpresses TMEM106B, with a 4- to 8-fold increase in TMEM106B protein levels in heterozygous (hTMEM106B(+)) and homozygous (hTMEM106B(++)) animals, respectively. We showed that the increase in TMEM106B protein levels induced lysosomal dysfunction and age-related downregulation of genes associated with neuronal plasticity, learning, and memory. Increased TMEM106B levels led to altered synaptic signaling in 12-month-old animals which further exhibited an anxiety-like phenotype. Finally, we observed mild neuronal loss in the hippocampus of 21-month-old animals. Characterization of the first transgenic mouse model that overexpresses TMEM106B suggests that higher levels of TMEM106B negatively impacts brain health by modifying brain aging and impairing the resilience of the brain to the pathomechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders. This novel model will be a valuable tool to study the involvement and contribution of increased TMEM106B levels to aging and will be essential to study the many age-related diseases in which TMEM106B was genetically shown to be a disease- and risk-modifier.\n\nID: 38838131\nTitle: Peripheral expression of brain-penetrant progranulin rescues pathologies in mouse models of frontotemporal lobar degeneration.\nAbstract: Progranulin (PGRN) haploinsufficiency is a major risk factor for frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology (FTLD-GRN). Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders.\n\nID: 38689278\nTitle: Arginine and its metabolites stimulate proliferation, differentiation, and physiological function of porcine trophoblast cells through \u03b2-catenin and mTOR pathways.\nAbstract: Arginine, which is metabolized into ornithine, proline, and nitric oxide, plays an important role in embryonic development. The present study was conducted to investigate the molecular mechanism of arginine in proliferation, differentiation, and physiological function of porcine trophoblast cells (pTr2) through metabolic pathways. The results showed that arginine significantly increased cell viability (P\u2009<\u20090.05). The addition of arginine had a quadratic tendency to increase the content of progesterone (P\u2009=\u20090.06) and protein synthesis rate (P\u2009=\u20090.03), in which the maximum protein synthesis rate was observed at 0.4 mM arginine. Arginine quadratically increased (P\u2009<\u20090.05) the intracellular contents of spermine, spermidine and putrescine, as well as linearly increased (P\u2009<\u20090.05) the intracellular content of NO in a dose-dependent manner. Arginine showed a quadratic tendency to increase the content of putrescine (P\u2009=\u20090.07) and a linear tendency to increase NO content (P\u2009=\u20090.09) in cell supernatant. Moreover, increasing arginine activated (P\u2009<\u20090.05) the mRNA expressions for ARG, ODC, iNOS and PCNA. Furthermore, inhibitors of arginine metabolism (L-NMMA and DFMO) both inhibited cell proliferation, while addition of its metabolites (NO and putrescine) promoted the cell proliferation and cell cycle, the mRNA expressions of PCNA, EGF and IGF-1, and increased (P\u2009<\u20090.05) cellular protein synthesis rate, as well as estradiol and hCG secretion (P\u2009<\u20090.05). In conclusion, our results suggested that arginine could promote cell proliferation and physiological function by regulating the metabolic pathway. Further studies showed that arginine and its metabolites modulate cell function mainly through \u03b2-catenin and mTOR pathways.\n\nID: 36979138\nTitle: Understanding the Effects of Trenbolone Acetate, Polyamine Precursors, and Polyamines on Proliferation, Protein Synthesis Rates, and the Abundance of Genes Involved in Myoblast Growth, Polyamine Biosynthesis, and Protein Synthesis in Murine Myoblasts.\nAbstract: Research suggests that androgens increase skeletal muscle growth by modulating polyamine biosynthesis. As such, the objective of this study was to investigate effects of anabolic hormones, polyamine precursors, and polyamines relative to proliferation, protein synthesis, and the abundance of mRNA involved in polyamine biosynthesis, proliferation, and protein synthesis in C2C12 and Sol8 cells. Cultures were treated with anabolic hormones (trenbolone acetate and/or estradiol), polyamine precursors (methionine or ornithine), or polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, or spermine). Messenger RNA was isolated 0.5 or 1, 12, or 24 h post-treatment. The cell type had no effect (p > 0.10) on proliferation, protein synthesis, or mRNA abundance at any time point. Each treatment increased (p < 0.01) proliferation, and anabolic hormones increased (p = 0.04) protein synthesis. Polyamines increased (p < 0.05) the abundance of mRNA involved in polyamine biosynthesis, proliferation, and protein synthesis. Treatment with polyamine precursors decreased (p < 0.05) the abundance of mRNA involved in proliferation and protein synthesis. Overall, C2C12 and Sol8 myoblasts do not differ (p > 0.10) in proliferation, protein synthesis, or mRNA abundance at the time points assessed. Furthermore, anabolic hormones, polyamines, and polyamine precursors increase proliferation and protein synthesis, and polyamines and their precursors alter the abundance of mRNA involved in growth.\n\nID: 36057633\nTitle: Spermidine-mediated hypusination of translation factor EIF5A improves mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and prevents non-alcoholic steatohepatitis progression.\nAbstract: Spermidine is a natural polyamine that has health benefits and extends life span in several species. Deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS) and deoxyhypusine hydroxylase (DOHH) are key enzymes that utilize spermidine to catalyze the post-translational hypusination of the translation factor EIF5A (EIF5AH). Here, we have found that hepatic DOHH mRNA expression is decreased in patients and mice with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and hepatic cells treated with fatty acids. The mouse and cell culture models of NASH have concomitant decreases in Eif5aH and mitochondrial protein synthesis which leads to lower mitochondrial activity and fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation. Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH, and prevents NASH progression in vivo. Thus, the disrupted DHPS-DOHH-EIF5AH pathway during NASH represents a therapeutic target to increase hepatic protein synthesis and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and prevent NASH progression.\n\nID: 36056242\nTitle: Identification of TMEM106B amyloid fibrils provides an updated view of TMEM106B biology in health and disease.\nAbstract: Since the initial identification of TMEM106B as a risk factor for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), multiple genetic studies have found TMEM106B variants to modulate disease risk in a variety of brain disorders and healthy aging. Neurodegenerative disorders are typically characterized by inclusions of misfolded proteins and since lysosomes are an important site for cellular debris clearance, lysosomal dysfunction has been closely linked to neurodegeneration. Consequently, many causal mutations or genetic risk variants implicated in neurodegenerative diseases encode proteins involved in endosomal-lysosomal function. As an integral lysosomal transmembrane protein, TMEM106B regulates several aspects of lysosomal function and multiple studies have shown that proper TMEM106B protein levels are crucial for maintaining lysosomal health. Yet, the precise function of TMEM106B at the lysosomal membrane is undetermined and it remains unclear how TMEM106B modulates disease risk. Unexpectedly, several independent groups recently showed that the C-terminal domain (AA120-254) of TMEM106B forms amyloid fibrils in the brain of patients with a diverse set of neurodegenerative conditions. The recognition that TMEM106B can form amyloid fibrils and is present across neurodegenerative diseases sheds new light on TMEM106B as a central player in neurodegeneration and brain health, but also raises important new questions. In this review, we summarize current knowledge and place a decade's worth of TMEM106B research into an exciting new perspective.\n\nID: 34654821\nTitle: A C. elegans model of C9orf72-associated ALS/FTD uncovers a conserved role for eIF2D in RAN translation.\nAbstract: A hexanucleotide repeat expansion GGGGCC in the non-coding region of C9orf72 is the most common cause of inherited amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Toxic dipeptide repeats (DPRs) are synthesized from GGGGCC via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. Here, we develop C. elegans models that express, either ubiquitously or exclusively in neurons, 75 GGGGCC repeats flanked by intronic C9orf72 sequence. The worms generate DPRs (poly-glycine-alanine [poly-GA], poly-glycine-proline [poly-GP]) and poly-glycine-arginine [poly-GR]), display neurodegeneration, and exhibit locomotor and lifespan defects. Mutation of a non-canonical translation-initiating codon (CUG) upstream of the repeats selectively reduces poly-GA steady-state levels and ameliorates disease, suggesting poly-GA is pathogenic. Importantly, loss-of-function mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D (eif-2D/eIF2D) reduce poly-GA and poly-GP levels, and increase lifespan in both C. elegans models. Our in vitro studies in mammalian cells yield similar results. Here, we show a conserved role for eif-2D/eIF2D in DPR expression.\n\nID: 34251640\nTitle: Arginine, Agmatine, and Polyamines: Key Regulators of Conceptus Development in Mammals.\nAbstract: Arginine is a key amino acid in pregnant females as it is the precursor for nitric oxide (NO) via nitric oxide synthase and for\u00a0polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) by either arginase II and ornithine decarboxylase to putrescine or via arginine decarboxylase to agmatine and agmatine to putrescine via agmatinase. Polyamines are critical for placental growth and vascularization. Polyamines stabilize DNA and mRNA for gene transcription and mRNA translation, stimulate proliferation of trophectoderm, and formation of multinucleated trophectoderm cells that give rise to giant cells in the placentae of species such as mice. Polyamines activate MTOR cell signaling to stimulate protein synthesis and they are important for motility through modification of beta-catenin phosphorylation, integrin signaling via focal adhesion kinases, cytoskeletal organization, and invasiveness or superficial implantation of blastocysts. Physiological levels of arginine, agmatine, and polyamines are critical to the secretion of interferon tau for pregnancy recognition in ruminants. Arginine, polyamines, and agmatine are very abundant in fetal fluids, fetal blood, and tissues of the conceptus during gestation. The polyamines are thus available to influence a multitude of events including activation of development of blastocysts, implantation, placentation, fetal growth, and development required for the successful establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in mammals.\n\nID: 33812000\nTitle: Lysosome dysfunction as a cause of neurodegenerative diseases: Lessons from frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are fatal neurodegenerative disorders that are thought to exist on a clinical and pathological spectrum. FTD and ALS are linked by shared genetic causes (e.g. C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansions) and neuropathology, such as inclusions of ubiquitinated, misfolded proteins (e.g. TAR DNA-binding protein 43; TDP-43) in the CNS. Furthermore, some genes that cause FTD or ALS when mutated encode proteins that localize to the lysosome or modulate endosome-lysosome function, including lysosomal fusion, cargo trafficking, lysosomal acidification, autophagy, or TFEB activity. In this review, we summarize evidence that lysosomal dysfunction, caused by genetic mutations (e.g. C9orf72, GRN, MAPT, TMEM106B) or toxic-gain of function (e.g. aggregation of TDP-43 or tau), is an important pathogenic disease mechanism in FTD and ALS. Further studies into the normal function of many of these proteins are required and will help uncover the mechanisms that cause lysosomal dysfunction in FTD and ALS. Mutations or polymorphisms in genes that encode proteins important for endosome-lysosome function also occur in other age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's (e.g. APOE, PSEN1, APP) and Parkinson's (e.g. GBA, LRRK2, ATP13A2) disease. A more complete understanding of the common and unique features of lysosome dysfunction across the spectrum of neurodegeneration will help guide the development of therapies for these devastating diseases.\n\nID: 33431483\nTitle: Inducible expression of human C9ORF72 36x G4C2 hexanucleotide repeats is sufficient to cause RAN translation and rapid muscular atrophy in mice.\nAbstract: The hexanucleotide G4C2 repeat expansion in the first intron of the C9ORF72 gene explains the majority of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. Numerous studies have indicated the toxicity of dipeptide repeats (DPRs) which are produced via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation from the repeat expansion and accumulate in the brain of C9FTD/ALS patients. Mouse models expressing the human C9ORF72 repeat and/or DPRs show variable pathological, functional, and behavioral characteristics of FTD and ALS. Here, we report a new Tet-on inducible mouse model that expresses 36x pure G4C2 repeats with 100bp upstream and downstream human flanking regions. Brain specific expression causes the formation of sporadic sense DPRs aggregates upon 6 months dox induction but no apparent neurodegeneration. Expression in the rest of the body evokes abundant sense DPRs in multiple organs, leading to weight loss, neuromuscular junction disruption, myopathy, and a locomotor phenotype within the time frame of four weeks. We did not observe any RNA foci or pTDP-43 pathology. Accumulation of DPRs and the myopathy phenotype could be prevented when 36x G4C2 repeat expression was stopped after 1 week. After 2 weeks of expression, the phenotype could not be reversed, even though DPR levels were reduced. In conclusion, expression of 36x pure G4C2 repeats including 100bp human flanking regions is sufficient for RAN translation of sense DPRs and evokes a functional locomotor phenotype. Our inducible mouse model suggests early diagnosis and treatment are important for C9FTD/ALS patients.\n\nID: 33291784\nTitle: Engineered Ripening-Specific Accumulation of Polyamines Spermidine and Spermine in Tomato Fruit Upregulates Clustered C/D Box snoRNA Gene Transcripts in Concert with Ribosomal RNA Biogenesis in the Red Ripe Fruit.\nAbstract: Ripening of tomato fruit leads, in general, to a sequential decrease in the endogenous levels of polyamines spermidine (SPD) and spermine (SPM), while the trend for the diamine putrescine (PUT) levels is generally an initial decrease, followed by a substantial increase, and thereafter reaching high levels at the red ripe fruit stage. However, genetic engineering fruit-specific expression of heterologous yeast S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) decarboxylase in tomato has been found to result in a high accumulation of SPD and SPM at the cost of PUT. This system enabled a genetic approach to determine the impact of increased endogenous levels of biogenic amines SPD and SPM in tomato (579HO transgenic line) and on the biogenesis, transcription, processing, and stability of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes in tomato fruit as compared with the non-transgenic 556AZ line. One major biogenetic process regulating transcription and processing of pre-mRNA complexes in the nucleus involves small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). To determine the effect of high levels of SPD and SPM on these latter processes, we cloned, sequenced, and identified a box C/D snoRNA cluster in tomato, namely, SlSnoR12, SlU24a, Slz44a, and Slz132b. Similar to this snoRNA cluster housed on chromosome (Chr.) 6, two other noncoding C/D box genes, SlsnoR12.2 and SlU24b, with a 94% identity to those on Chr. 6 were found located on Chr. 3. We also found that other snoRNAs divisible into snoRNA subclusters A and B, separated by a uridine rich spacer, were decorated with other C/D box snoRNAs, namely, J10.3, Z131a/b, J10.1, and Z44a, followed by z132a, J11.3, z132b, U24, Z20, U24a, and J11. Several of these, for example, SlZ44a, Slz132b, and SlU24a share conserved sequences similar to those in Arabidopsis and rice. RNAseq analysis of high SPD/SPM transgenic tomatoes (579HO line) showed significant enrichment of RNA polymerases, ribosomal, and translational protein genes at the breaker+8 ripening stage as compared with the 556AZ control. Thus, these results indicate that SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner.\n\nID: 32375063\nTitle: Chimeric Peptide Species Contribute to Divergent Dipeptide Repeat Pathology in c9ALS/FTD and SCA36.\nAbstract: GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansions (HREs) in C9orf72 cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)\u00a0and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and lead to the production of aggregating dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs) via repeat associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. Here, we show the similar intronic GGCCTG HREs that causes spinocerebellar ataxia type 36 (SCA36) is also translated into DPRs, including poly(GP) and poly(PR). We demonstrate that poly(GP) is more abundant in SCA36 compared to c9ALS/FTD patient tissue due to canonical AUG-mediated translation from intron-retained GGCCTG repeat RNAs. However, the frequency of the antisense RAN translation product poly(PR) is comparable between c9ALS/FTD and SCA36 patient samples. Interestingly, in SCA36 patient tissue, poly(GP) exists as a soluble\u00a0species, and no TDP-43 pathology is present. We show that aggregate-prone chimeric DPR (cDPR) species underlie the divergent DPR pathology between c9ALS/FTD and SCA36. These findings reveal key differences in translation, solubility, and protein aggregation of DPRs between c9ALS/FTD and SCA36.\n\nID: 30462531\nTitle: The protein synthesis inhibitor brusatol normalizes high-fat diet-induced glucose intolerance in male C57BL/6 mice: role of translation factor eIF5A hypusination.\nAbstract: The naturally occurring quassinoid compound brusatol improves the survival of insulin-producing cells when exposed to the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1\u03b2 and IFN-\u03b3 in vitro. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether brusatol also promotes beneficial effects in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD), and if so, to study the mechanisms by which brusatol acts. In vivo, we observed that the impaired glucose tolerance of HFD-fed male C57BL/6 mice was counteracted by a 2 wk treatment with brusatol. Brusatol treatment improved both \u03b2-cell function and peripheral insulin sensitivity of HFD-fed mice. In vitro, brusatol inhibited \u03b2-cell total protein and proinsulin biosynthesis, with an ED50 of \u223c40 nM. In line with this, brusatol blocked cytokine-induced iNOS protein expression via inhibition of iNOS mRNA translation. Brusatol may have affected protein synthesis, at least in part, via inhibition of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) hypusination, as eIF5A spermidine association and hypusination in RIN-5AH cells was reduced in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The eIF5A hypusination inhibitor GC7 promoted a similar effect. Both brusatol and GC7 protected rat RIN-5AH cells against cytokine-induced cell death. Brusatol reduced eIF5A hypusination and cytokine-induced cell death in EndoC-\u03b2H1 cells as well. Finally, hypusinated eIF5A was reduced in vivo by brusatol in islet endocrine and endothelial islet cells of mice fed an HFD. The results of the present study suggest that brusatol improves glucose intolerance in mice fed an HFD, possibly by inhibiting protein biosynthesis and eIF5A hypusination.-Turpaev, K., Krizhanovskii, C., Wang, X., Sargsyan, E., Bergsten, P., Welsh, N. The protein synthesis inhibitor brusatol normalizes high-fat diet-induced glucose intolerance in male C57BL/6 mice: role of translation factor eIF5A hypusination.\n\nID: 29929528\nTitle: Partial Tmem106b reduction does not correct abnormalities due to progranulin haploinsufficiency.\nAbstract: Loss of function mutations in progranulin (GRN) are a major cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Progranulin is a secreted glycoprotein that localizes to lysosomes and is critical for proper lysosomal function. Heterozygous GRN mutation carriers develop FTD with TDP-43 pathology and exhibit signs of lysosomal dysfunction in the brain, with increased levels of lysosomal proteins and lipofuscin accumulation. Homozygous GRN mutation carriers develop neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), an earlier-onset lysosomal storage disorder caused by severe lysosomal dysfunction. Multiple genome-wide association studies have shown that risk of FTD in GRN mutation carriers is modified by polymorphisms in TMEM106B, which encodes a lysosomal membrane protein. Risk alleles of TMEM106B may increase TMEM106B levels through a variety of mechanisms. Brains from FTD patients with GRN mutations exhibit increased TMEM106B expression, and protective TMEM106B polymorphisms are associated with decreased TMEM106B expression. Together, these data raise the possibility that reduction of TMEM106B levels may protect against the pathogenic effects of progranulin haploinsufficiency. We crossed Tmem106b +/- mice with Grn +/- mice, which model the progranulin haploinsufficiency of GRN mutation carriers and develop age-dependent social deficits and lysosomal abnormalities in the brain. We tested whether partial Tmem106b reduction could normalize the social deficits and lysosomal abnormalities of Grn +/- mice. Partial reduction of Tmem106b levels did not correct the social deficits of Grn +/- mice. Tmem106b reduction also failed to normalize most lysosomal abnormalities of Grn +/- mice, except for \u03b2-glucuronidase activity, which was suppressed by Tmem106b reduction and increased by progranulin insufficiency. These data do not support the hypothesis that Tmem106b reduction protects against the pathogenic effects of progranulin haploinsufficiency, but do show that Tmem106b reduction normalizes some lysosomal phenotypes in Grn +/- mice.\n\nID: 29410783\nTitle: Functional roles of ornithine decarboxylase and arginine decarboxylase during the peri-implantation period of pregnancy in sheep.\nAbstract: Polyamines stimulate DNA transcription and mRNA translation for protein synthesis in trophectoderm cells, as well as proliferation and migration of cells; therefore, they are essential for development and survival of conceptuses (embryo/fetus and placenta). The ovine conceptus produces polyamines via classical and non-classical pathways. In the classical pathway, arginine (Arg) is transformed into ornithine, which is then decarboxylated by ornithine decarboxylase (ODC1) to produce putrescine which is the substrate for the production of spermidine and spermine. In the non-classical pathway, Arg is converted to agmatine (Agm) by arginine decarboxylase (ADC), and Agm is converted to putrescine by agmatinase (AGMAT). Morpholino antisense oligonucleotides (MAOs) were designed and synthesized to inhibit translational initiation of the mRNAs for ODC1 and ADC, in ovine conceptuses. The morphologies of MAO control, MAO-ODC1, and MAO-ADC conceptuses were normal. Double knockdown of ODC1 and ADC (MAO-ODC1:ADC) resulted in two phenotypes of conceptuses; 33% of conceptuses appeared to be morphologically and functionally normal (phenotype a) and 67% of the conceptuses presented an abnormal morphology and functionality (phenotype b). Furthermore, MAO-ODC1:ADC (a) conceptuses had greater tissue concentrations of Agm, putrescine, and spermidine than MAO control conceptuses, while MAO-ODC1:ADC (b) conceptuses only had greater tissue concentrations of Agm . Uterine flushes from ewes with MAO-ODC1:ADC (a) had greater amounts of arginine, aspartate, tyrosine, citrulline, lysine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, and glutamine, while uterine flushes of ewes with MAO-ODC1:ADC (b) conceptuses had lower amount of putrescine, spermidine, spermine, alanine, aspartate, glutamine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, and lysine. The double-knockdown of translation of ODC1 and ADC mRNAs was most detrimental to conceptus development and their production of interferon tau (IFNT). Agm, polyamines, amino acids, and adequate secretion of IFNT are critical for establishment and maintenance of pregnancy during the peri-implantation period of gestation in sheep.\n\nID: 28828399\nTitle: Intracellular Proteolysis of Progranulin Generates Stable, Lysosomal Granulins that Are Haploinsufficient in Patients with Frontotemporal Dementia Caused by GRN Mutations.\nAbstract: Homozygous or heterozygous mutations in the GRN gene, encoding progranulin (PGRN), cause neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) or frontotemporal dementia (FTD), respectively. NCL and FTD are characterized by lysosome dysfunction and neurodegeneration, indicating PGRN is important for lysosome homeostasis in the brain. PGRN is trafficked to the lysosome where its functional role is unknown. PGRN can be cleaved into seven 6-kDa proteins called granulins (GRNs); however, little is known about how GRNs are produced or if levels of GRNs are altered in FTD-GRN mutation carriers. Here, we report the identification and characterization of antibodies that reliably detect several human GRNs by immunoblot and immunocytochemistry. Using these tools, we find that endogenous GRNs are present within multiple cell lines and are constitutively produced. Further, extracellular PGRN is endocytosed and rapidly processed into stable GRNs within lysosomes. Processing of PGRN into GRNs is conserved between humans and mice and is modulated by sortilin expression and mediated by cysteine proteases (i.e. cathpesin L). Induced lysosome dysfunction caused by alkalizing agents or increased expression of transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) inhibit processing of PGRN into GRNs. Finally, we find that multiple GRNs are haploinsufficient in primary fibroblasts and cortical brain tissue from FTD-GRN patients. Taken together, our findings raise the interesting possibility that GRNs carry out critical lysosomal functions and that loss of GRNs should be explored as an initiating factor in lysosomal dysfunction and neurodegeneration caused by GRN mutations.\n\nID: 28167899\nTitle: Cysteine Modifications in the Pathogenesis of ALS.\nAbstract: Several proteins are found misfolded and aggregated in sporadic and genetic forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These include superoxide dismutase (SOD1), transactive response DNA-binding protein (TDP-43), fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma protein (FUS/TLS), p62, vasolin-containing protein (VCP), Ubiquilin-2 and dipeptide repeats produced by unconventional RAN-translation of the GGGGCC expansion in C9ORF72. Up to date, functional studies have not yet revealed a common mechanism for the formation of such diverse protein inclusions. Consolidated studies have demonstrated a fundamental role of cysteine residues in the aggregation process of SOD1 and TDP43, but disturbance of protein thiols homeostatic factors such as protein disulfide isomerases (PDI), glutathione, cysteine oxidation or palmitoylation might contribute to a general aberration of cysteine residues proteostasis in ALS. In this article we review the evidence that cysteine modifications may have a central role in many, if not all, forms of this disease.\n\nID: 27434546\nTitle: Effect of Spermidine Analogues on Cell Growth of Escherichia coli Polyamine Requiring Mutant MA261.\nAbstract: The effects of spermidine analogues [norspermidine (NSPD, 33), spermidine (SPD, 34), homospermidine (HSPD, 44) and aminopropylcadaverine (APCAD, 35)] on cell growth were studied using Escherichia coli polyamine-requiring mutant MA261. Cell growth was compared at 32\u00b0C, 37\u00b0C, and 42\u00b0C. All four analogues were taken up mainly by the PotABCD spermidine-preferential uptake system. The degree of stimulation of cell growth at 32\u00b0C and 37\u00b0C was NSPD \u2265 SPD \u2265 HSPD > APCAD, and SPD \u2265 HSPD \u2265 NSPD > APCAD, respectively. However, at 42\u00b0C, it was HSPD \u00bb SPD > NSPD > APCAD. One reason for this is HSPD was taken up effectively compared with other triamines. In addition, since natural polyamines (triamines and teteraamines) interact mainly with RNA, and the structure of RNA is more flexible at higher temperatures, HSPD probably stabilized RNA more tightly at 42\u00b0C. We have thus far found that 20 kinds of protein syntheses are stimulated by polyamines at the translational level. Among them, synthesis of OppA, RpoE and StpA was more strongly stimulated by HSPD at 42\u00b0C than at 37\u00b0C. Stabilization of the initiation region of oppA and rpoE mRNA was tighter by HSPD at 42\u00b0C than 37\u00b0C determined by circular dichroism (CD). The degree of polyamine stimulation of OppA, RpoE and StpA synthesis by NSPD, SPD and APCAD was smaller than that by HSPD at 42\u00b0C. Thus, the degree of stimulation of cell growth by spermidine analogues at the different temperatures is dependent on the stimulation of protein synthesis by some components of the polyamine modulon.\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.

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  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41231952 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42087256 for the quote: \"Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2 ... rescues motor deficits in these models.\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42087256 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles\" (Source: 41177462)\n- \"nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy\" (Source: 41177462)\n- \"identify microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2) as a key eIF2\u03b1 kinase that enhances RAN translation under proteotoxic stress.\" (Source: 41231952)\n- \"granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes\" (Source: 41929021)\n- \"Recombinant progranulin supplementation reduced TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation.\" (Source: 41929021)\n- \"polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex\" (Source: 39205388)\n- \"using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR\" (Source: 42087256)\n- \"Intranasal delivery provides a promising alternative by exploiting olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to circumvent the BBB.\" (Source: 42076632)\n- \"young iMSC-EVs reversed the acute inhibition of physiological inflammation and chronic increase of pathogenic inflammation\" (Source: 41272785)\n- \"Attenuation of SRM expression significantly inhibited secretion of EVs in 22Rv1 cells\" (Source: 32558033)\n- \"plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier.\" (Source: 41688997)\n- \"Lipid-based systems, especially following the success of COVID-19 vaccines, have gained attention as versatile platforms for delivering RNAs.\" (Source: 41206776)\n- \"EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications.\" (Source: 41205008)\n- \"AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation\" (Source: 38838131)\n- \"Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH\" (Source: 36057633)\n- \"loss-of-function mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D (eif-2D/eIF2D) reduce poly-GA and poly-GP levels\" (Source: 34654821)\n- \"SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner.\" (Source: 33291784)\n- \"developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier\" (Source: 40978531)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

While the provided literature supports the individual components\u2014S-GEVs for intranasal delivery, suppression of RAN translation by manipulating initiation factors like eIF2D or MARK2, and the management of TMEM106B amyloid accumulation via progranulin\u2014the literature does not contain evidence for \"p38-Lamin B1-dependent Karyoptosis.\" This specific pathway appears to be absent from the provided source material; therefore, the hypothesis cannot be fully validated as a unified mechanism.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe therapeutic challenge of C9orf72-linked neurodegeneration involves overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and modulating non-canonical protein synthesis. Nanocarriers, particularly S-GEVs, leverage olfactory and trigeminal pathways to deliver therapeutics directly to the brain. Once in the CNS, the literature establishes that \"To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles\" (ID: 41177462). The underlying mechanism of neurodegeneration relies on repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation, where \"identify microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (MARK2) as a key eIF2\u03b1 kinase that enhances RAN translation under proteotoxic stress\" (ID: 41231952). The accumulation of toxic dipeptide repeats (DPRs) leads to cellular pathology, where \"polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex\" (ID: 39205388). Furthermore, lysosomal health is critical, as \"granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes\" (ID: 41929021). Supplementation is a known strategy, as \"Recombinant progranulin supplementation reduced TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation\" (ID: 41929021). The integration of these elements into a single pathway, however, lacks evidence for the specific \"Karyoptosis\" claim, which represents a significant gap in the provided literature.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Intranasal Efficiency**: The intranasal route bypasses the BBB to achieve higher bioavailability, as \"Intranasal delivery provides a promising alternative by exploiting olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to circumvent the BBB.\" (ID: 42076632).\n*   **Nanoparticle Targeting**: Spermidine modification is a functional strategy because \"nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy\" (ID: 41177462).\n*   **RAN Translation Regulation**: Targeting the eIF2 complex is effective, as \"loss-of-function mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D (eif-2D/eIF2D) reduce poly-GA and poly-GP levels\" (ID: 34654821).\n*   **Lysosomal Dysfunction**: The protein TMEM106B is not just a risk modifier but an amyloid precursor, as \"recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains.\" (ID: 39237682).\n*   **EV Therapeutic Potential**: Extracellular vesicles are inherently capable of transport, as \"EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications.\" (ID: 41205008).\n*   **Polyamine Modulation**: Spermidine impacts metabolism significantly, as \"Spermidine treatment restores EIF5AH, partially restores protein synthesis and mitochondrial function in NASH\" (ID: 36057633).\n*   **Transcriptional Control**: snoRNA clusters are influenced by polyamines, as \"SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner.\" (ID: 33291784).\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

        "12807425": "ID: 12807425\nTitle: The chemokine receptor CCR5 is not a necessary inflammatory mediator in kainic acid-induced hippocampal injury: evidence for a compensatory effect by increased CCR2 and CCR3.\nAbstract: Chemokines and their receptors have been strongly implicated in the inflammatory process. However, their roles in excitotoxic brain injury are largely unknown. In this study we used C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) knockout (KO) mice to investigate the role of CCR5 in neurodegeneration induced by intranasal administration of the excitotoxin kainic acid (KA). Although KA treatment resulted in an increased CCR5 mRNA level in the hippocampi of wild-type mice, a CCR5 deficiency in KO mice did not affect either the clinical and pathological changes in vivo or the neuronal susceptibilities to KA insult in vitro. KA treatment stimulated mRNA expression of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-2 (MCP-2) in both the wild-type and KO mice. KA treatment did not affect mRNA levels for the macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) or the regulated upon activation normal T cells expressed and secreted protein (RANTES) in either wild-type or CCR5 KO mice. CCR2 mRNA expression was undetectable in the hippocampi of wild-type mice regardless of KA treatment. In contrast, CCR5 KO mice showed CCR2 mRNA expression that was remarkably increased after KA treatment. KA treatment did not affect CCR3 mRNA expression in the wild-type mice, whereas KO mice showed both a higher basal level of CCR3 mRNA expression as well as a strong upregulation following KA treatment. These results indicate that CCR5 is not a necessary inflammatory mediator in KA induced neurodegeneration. The roles of CCR5 in excitotoxic injury in CCR5 deficient mice are compensated by increased CCR2 and CCR3 expression, which share the common MCP-2 ligand with CCR5.",
        "23622116": "ID: 23622116\nTitle: Analysis of inflammation-related nigral degeneration and locomotor function in DJ-1(-/-) mice.\nAbstract: Complex interactions involving genetic susceptibility and environmental factors are thought to underlie the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although the role of inflammatory processes in modulating risk for development of PD has yet to be fully understood, prospective studies suggest that chronic use of NSAIDs reduce the incidence of PD. Loss-of-function mutations in the DJ-1 gene cause a rare form of familial PD with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance; however, DJ-1-/- mice do not display nigrostriatal pathway degeneration, suggesting that additional factors such as inflammation may be needed to induce neurodegeneration on the background of DJ-1 gene mutations. Neuroinflammation causes oxidative stress and, based on evidence that DJ-1 plays a protective role against oxidative stress, we investigated whether DJ-1-/- mice display increased vulnerability to inflammation-induced nigral degeneration. We exposed adult wild-type and DJ-1-/- mice to repeated intranasal administration of soluble TNF (inTNF) or repeated intraperitoneal injections of low-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or saline vehicle. We measured locomotor performance using a variety of behavior tasks, striatal dopamine (DA) content by HPLC, DA neuron (TH+ cells) and total neuron (NeuN+ cells) number in the substantia nigra pars compacta and ventral tegmental area by unbiased stereology, number of Iba1-positive microglia, and mRNA levels of inflammatory and oxidative stress genes by quantitative PCR in the midbrain, cortex and isolated peritoneal macrophages of DJ-1-/- and wild-type mice. We found that chronic LPS injections induced similar neuroinflammatory responses in the midbrains of DJ-1-/- mice and wild-type mice and neither group developed locomotor deficits or nigral degeneration. inTNF administration did not appear to induce neuroinflammatory responses in LPS-treated wild-type or DJ-1-/- mice. The lack of vulnerability to inflammation-induced nigral degeneration was not due to enhanced anti-oxidant gene responses in the midbrains of DJ-1-/- mice which, in fact, displayed a blunted response relative to that of wild-type mice. Peripheral macrophages from wild-type and DJ-1-/- mice displayed similar basal and LPS-induced inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in vitro. Our studies indicate that DJ-1-/- mice do not display increased vulnerability to inflammation-related nigral degeneration in contrast to what has been reported for 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrindine. We conclude that either DJ-1 does not have a critical role in protecting DA neurons against inflammation-induced oxidative stress and/or there is compensatory gene expression in the midbrain of DJ-1-/- mice that renders them resistant to the cytotoxic effects triggered by chronic peripheral inflammation.",
        "27434546": "ID: 27434546\nTitle: Effect of Spermidine Analogues on Cell Growth of Escherichia coli Polyamine Requiring Mutant MA261.\nAbstract: The effects of spermidine analogues [norspermidine (NSPD, 33), spermidine (SPD, 34), homospermidine (HSPD, 44) and aminopropylcadaverine (APCAD, 35)] on cell growth were studied using Escherichia coli polyamine-requiring mutant MA261. Cell growth was compared at 32\u00b0C, 37\u00b0C, and 42\u00b0C. All four analogues were taken up mainly by the PotABCD spermidine-preferential uptake system. The degree of stimulation of cell growth at 32\u00b0C and 37\u00b0C was NSPD \u2265 SPD \u2265 HSPD > APCAD, and SPD \u2265 HSPD \u2265 NSPD > APCAD, respectively. However, at 42\u00b0C, it was HSPD \u00bb SPD > NSPD > APCAD. One reason for this is HSPD was taken up effectively compared with other triamines. In addition, since natural polyamines (triamines and teteraamines) interact mainly with RNA, and the structure of RNA is more flexible at higher temperatures, HSPD probably stabilized RNA more tightly at 42\u00b0C. We have thus far found that 20 kinds of protein syntheses are stimulated by polyamines at the translational level. Among them, synthesis of OppA, RpoE and StpA was more strongly stimulated by HSPD at 42\u00b0C than at 37\u00b0C. Stabilization of the initiation region of oppA and rpoE mRNA was tighter by HSPD at 42\u00b0C than 37\u00b0C determined by circular dichroism (CD). The degree of polyamine stimulation of OppA, RpoE and StpA synthesis by NSPD, SPD and APCAD was smaller than that by HSPD at 42\u00b0C. Thus, the degree of stimulation of cell growth by spermidine analogues at the different temperatures is dependent on the stimulation of protein synthesis by some components of the polyamine modulon.",
        "28167899": "ID: 28167899\nTitle: Cysteine Modifications in the Pathogenesis of ALS.\nAbstract: Several proteins are found misfolded and aggregated in sporadic and genetic forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These include superoxide dismutase (SOD1), transactive response DNA-binding protein (TDP-43), fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma protein (FUS/TLS), p62, vasolin-containing protein (VCP), Ubiquilin-2 and dipeptide repeats produced by unconventional RAN-translation of the GGGGCC expansion in C9ORF72. Up to date, functional studies have not yet revealed a common mechanism for the formation of such diverse protein inclusions. Consolidated studies have demonstrated a fundamental role of cysteine residues in the aggregation process of SOD1 and TDP43, but disturbance of protein thiols homeostatic factors such as protein disulfide isomerases (PDI), glutathione, cysteine oxidation or palmitoylation might contribute to a general aberration of cysteine residues proteostasis in ALS. In this article we review the evidence that cysteine modifications may have a central role in many, if not all, forms of this disease.",
        "28828399": "ID: 28828399\nTitle: Intracellular Proteolysis of Progranulin Generates Stable, Lysosomal Granulins that Are Haploinsufficient in Patients with Frontotemporal Dementia Caused by GRN Mutations.\nAbstract: Homozygous or heterozygous mutations in the GRN gene, encoding progranulin (PGRN), cause neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) or frontotemporal dementia (FTD), respectively. NCL and FTD are characterized by lysosome dysfunction and neurodegeneration, indicating PGRN is important for lysosome homeostasis in the brain. PGRN is trafficked to the lysosome where its functional role is unknown. PGRN can be cleaved into seven 6-kDa proteins called granulins (GRNs); however, little is known about how GRNs are produced or if levels of GRNs are altered in FTD-GRN mutation carriers. Here, we report the identification and characterization of antibodies that reliably detect several human GRNs by immunoblot and immunocytochemistry. Using these tools, we find that endogenous GRNs are present within multiple cell lines and are constitutively produced. Further, extracellular PGRN is endocytosed and rapidly processed into stable GRNs within lysosomes. Processing of PGRN into GRNs is conserved between humans and mice and is modulated by sortilin expression and mediated by cysteine proteases (i.e. cathpesin L). Induced lysosome dysfunction caused by alkalizing agents or increased expression of transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) inhibit processing of PGRN into GRNs. Finally, we find that multiple GRNs are haploinsufficient in primary fibroblasts and cortical brain tissue from FTD-GRN patients. Taken together, our findings raise the interesting possibility that GRNs carry out critical lysosomal functions and that loss of GRNs should be explored as an initiating factor in lysosomal dysfunction and neurodegeneration caused by GRN mutations.",
        "29109780": "ID: 29109780\nTitle: Metabolomic Profiling of Extracellular Vesicles and Alternative Normalization Methods Reveal Enriched Metabolites and Strategies to Study Prostate Cancer-Related Changes.\nAbstract: Body fluids are a rich source of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which carry cargo derived from the secreting cells. So far, biomarkers for pathological conditions have been mainly searched from their protein, (mi)RNA, DNA and lipid cargo. Here, we explored the small molecule metabolites from urinary and platelet EVs relative to their matched source samples. As a proof-of-concept study of intra-EV metabolites, we compared alternative normalization methods to profile urinary EVs from prostate cancer patients before and after prostatectomy and from healthy controls. We employed targeted ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to profile over 100 metabolites in the isolated EVs, original urine samples and platelets. We determined the enrichment of the metabolites in the EVs and analyzed their subcellular origin, pathways and relevant enzymes or transporters through data base searches. EV- and urine-derived factors and ratios between metabolites were tested for normalization of the metabolomics data. Approximately 1 x 1010 EVs were sufficient for detection of metabolite profiles from EVs. The profiles of the urinary and platelet EVs overlapped with each other and with those of the source materials, but they also contained unique metabolites. The EVs enriched a selection of cytosolic metabolites including members from the nucleotide and spermidine pathways, which linked to a number of EV-resident enzymes or transporters. Analysis of the urinary EVs from the patients indicated that the levels of glucuronate, D-ribose 5-phosphate and isobutyryl-L-carnitine were 2-26-fold lower in all pre-prostatectomy samples compared to the healthy control and post-prostatectomy samples (p < 0.05). These changes were only detected from EVs by normalization to EV-derived factors or with metabolite ratios, and not from the original urine samples. Our results suggest that metabolite analysis of EVs from different samples is feasible using a high-throughput platform and relatively small amount of sample material. With the knowledge about the specific enrichment of metabolites and normalization methods, EV metabolomics could be used to gain novel biomarker data not revealed by the analysis of the original EV source materials.",

Reduction of \u03b1-synuclein levels is therefore a potential therapy for PD. However, because \u03b1-synuclein is essential for neuronal development and function, \u03b1-synuclein elimination would dramatically impact brain function. We previously developed conjugated small interfering RNA (siRNA) sequences that selectively target serotonin (5-HT) or norepinephrine (NE) neurons after intranasal administration. Here, we used this strategy to conjugate inhibitory oligonucleotides, siRNA and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), with the triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor indatraline (IND), to selectively reduce \u03b1-synuclein expression in the brainstem monoamine nuclei of mice after intranasal delivery. Following internalization of the conjugated oligonucleotides in monoamine neurons, reduced levels of endogenous \u03b1-synuclein mRNA and protein were found in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), ventral tegmental area (VTA), dorsal raphe nucleus (DR), and locus coeruleus (LC). \u03b1-Synuclein knockdown by \u223c20%-40% did not cause monoaminergic neurodegeneration and enhanced forebrain dopamine (DA) and 5-HT release. Conversely, a modest human \u03b1-synuclein overexpression in DA neurons markedly reduced striatal DA release. These results indicate that \u03b1-synuclein negatively regulates monoamine neurotransmission and set the stage for the testing of non-viral inhibitory oligonucleotides as disease-modifying agents in \u03b1-synuclein models of PD.",

The ovine conceptus produces polyamines via classical and non-classical pathways. In the classical pathway, arginine (Arg) is transformed into ornithine, which is then decarboxylated by ornithine decarboxylase (ODC1) to produce putrescine which is the substrate for the production of spermidine and spermine. In the non-classical pathway, Arg is converted to agmatine (Agm) by arginine decarboxylase (ADC), and Agm is converted to putrescine by agmatinase (AGMAT). Morpholino antisense oligonucleotides (MAOs) were designed and synthesized to inhibit translational initiation of the mRNAs for ODC1 and ADC, in ovine conceptuses. The morphologies of MAO control, MAO-ODC1, and MAO-ADC conceptuses were normal. Double knockdown of ODC1 and ADC (MAO-ODC1:ADC) resulted in two phenotypes of conceptuses; 33% of conceptuses appeared to be morphologically and functionally normal (phenotype a) and 67% of the conceptuses presented an abnormal morphology and functionality (phenotype b). Furthermore, MAO-ODC1:ADC (a) conceptuses had greater tissue concentrations of Agm, putrescine, and spermidine than MAO control conceptuses, while MAO-ODC1:ADC (b) conceptuses only had greater tissue concentrations of Agm . Uterine flushes from ewes with MAO-ODC1:ADC (a) had greater amounts of arginine, aspartate, tyrosine, citrulline, lysine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, and glutamine, while uterine flushes of ewes with MAO-ODC1:ADC (b) conceptuses had lower amount of putrescine, spermidine, spermine, alanine, aspartate, glutamine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, and lysine. The double-knockdown of translation of ODC1 and ADC mRNAs was most detrimental to conceptus development and their production of interferon tau (IFNT). Agm, polyamines, amino acids, and adequate secretion of IFNT are critical for establishment and maintenance of pregnancy during the peri-implantation period of gestation in sheep.",

In response to hypoxia, microglia, the major resident immune cells of brain switches to an activated phenotype and promote inflammatory responses leading to tissue damage and loss of cognitive functions including working memory impairment. Till date, no proven clinical therapeutics is available to retard the progression of neurodegenerative memory impairment. In the present study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of intranasal small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery in a mouse model of hypoxia-induced working memory impairment using microglial receptor, Mac-1 as a target gene. Here, we implicate Mac-1 scavenger receptor in microglial phenotype switching, neurodegeneration in prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and working memory impairment. RNA mediated silencing of Mac-1 in both in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo model showed significant impact of it on hypoxia induced altered expression of Mac-1 endogenous ligand, signaling cascade proteins, transcription factors and NADPH oxidase pathway. Efficient degradation of Mac-1 mRNA suppressed expression of M1 phenotypic markers, inflammatory chemokines, and cytokines, but on the other hand, it upregulated M2 phenotypic markers and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Neuronal viability and synaptic plasticity markers were also modulated significantly by this strategy. Behavioral study revealed significant downregulation in the number of working memory errors at a time-dependent manner after silencing the Mac-1 gene during continuous hypoxic exposure. The novel findings of this study for the very first time, unmasked the role of Mac-1 receptor in neurodegenerative disease progression under hypoxic condition and at the same time indicated the potential therapeutic value of this non-invasive siRNA delivery approach for treating working memory loss.",

Progranulin is a secreted glycoprotein that localizes to lysosomes and is critical for proper lysosomal function. Heterozygous GRN mutation carriers develop FTD with TDP-43 pathology and exhibit signs of lysosomal dysfunction in the brain, with increased levels of lysosomal proteins and lipofuscin accumulation. Homozygous GRN mutation carriers develop neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL), an earlier-onset lysosomal storage disorder caused by severe lysosomal dysfunction. Multiple genome-wide association studies have shown that risk of FTD in GRN mutation carriers is modified by polymorphisms in TMEM106B, which encodes a lysosomal membrane protein. Risk alleles of TMEM106B may increase TMEM106B levels through a variety of mechanisms. Brains from FTD patients with GRN mutations exhibit increased TMEM106B expression, and protective TMEM106B polymorphisms are associated with decreased TMEM106B expression. Together, these data raise the possibility that reduction of TMEM106B levels may protect against the pathogenic effects of progranulin haploinsufficiency. We crossed Tmem106b +/- mice with Grn +/- mice, which model the progranulin haploinsufficiency of GRN mutation carriers and develop age-dependent social deficits and lysosomal abnormalities in the brain. We tested whether partial Tmem106b reduction could normalize the social deficits and lysosomal abnormalities of Grn +/- mice. Partial reduction of Tmem106b levels did not correct the social deficits of Grn +/- mice. Tmem106b reduction also failed to normalize most lysosomal abnormalities of Grn +/- mice, except for \u03b2-glucuronidase activity, which was suppressed by Tmem106b reduction and increased by progranulin insufficiency. These data do not support the hypothesis that Tmem106b reduction protects against the pathogenic effects of progranulin haploinsufficiency, but do show that Tmem106b reduction normalizes some lysosomal phenotypes in Grn +/- mice.",

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether brusatol also promotes beneficial effects in mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD), and if so, to study the mechanisms by which brusatol acts. In vivo, we observed that the impaired glucose tolerance of HFD-fed male C57BL/6 mice was counteracted by a 2 wk treatment with brusatol. Brusatol treatment improved both \u03b2-cell function and peripheral insulin sensitivity of HFD-fed mice. In vitro, brusatol inhibited \u03b2-cell total protein and proinsulin biosynthesis, with an ED50 of \u223c40 nM. In line with this, brusatol blocked cytokine-induced iNOS protein expression via inhibition of iNOS mRNA translation. Brusatol may have affected protein synthesis, at least in part, via inhibition of eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) hypusination, as eIF5A spermidine association and hypusination in RIN-5AH cells was reduced in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The eIF5A hypusination inhibitor GC7 promoted a similar effect. Both brusatol and GC7 protected rat RIN-5AH cells against cytokine-induced cell death. Brusatol reduced eIF5A hypusination and cytokine-induced cell death in EndoC-\u03b2H1 cells as well. Finally, hypusinated eIF5A was reduced in vivo by brusatol in islet endocrine and endothelial islet cells of mice fed an HFD. The results of the present study suggest that brusatol improves glucose intolerance in mice fed an HFD, possibly by inhibiting protein biosynthesis and eIF5A hypusination.-Turpaev, K., Krizhanovskii, C., Wang, X., Sargsyan, E., Bergsten, P., Welsh, N.

Here, we show the similar intronic GGCCTG HREs that causes spinocerebellar ataxia type 36 (SCA36) is also translated into DPRs, including poly(GP) and poly(PR). We demonstrate that poly(GP) is more abundant in SCA36 compared to c9ALS/FTD patient tissue due to canonical AUG-mediated translation from intron-retained GGCCTG repeat RNAs. However, the frequency of the antisense RAN translation product poly(PR) is comparable between c9ALS/FTD and SCA36 patient samples. Interestingly, in SCA36 patient tissue, poly(GP) exists as a soluble\u00a0species, and no TDP-43 pathology is present. We show that aggregate-prone chimeric DPR (cDPR) species underlie the divergent DPR pathology between c9ALS/FTD and SCA36.

Recently, we have shown a novel pathway of EV biogenesis in PCa cell lines, PC3 and PC3M. However, as the characteristics of EVs are divergent even among PCa cell lines, we hypothesized that other pathways or common regulatory pathways of EV biogenesis still exist. Here, we performed quantitative high-throughput screening to determine the key regulatory genes involved in EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells, which secrete a different type of EVs. In total, 1728 miRNAs were screened and miR-1908 was selected as the potential miRNA regulating EV biogenesis in 22Rv1 cells. Subsequently, we investigated target genes of miR-1908 using siRNA screening and identified that spermidine synthase (SRM) was the key regulator of EV secretion in 22Rv1 cells. Attenuation of SRM expression significantly inhibited secretion of EVs in 22Rv1 cells, and overexpression of SRM was confirmed in PCa tissues. Furthermore, we found that the number of endosome compartments was increased in cellular cytoplasm after knockdown of the SRM gene. In conclusion, our results showed that miR-1908-mediated regulation of SRM can control secretion of EVs in PCa. In addition, these data suggested that the EV secretion pathway was dependent on cellular characteristics.",

Previously, we have synthesized small peptides corresponding to the fragments (60-76) (P1) and (60-62) (P2) of the RAGE extracellular domain, and have shown that administration of P1 fragment but not P2 results in restoration of the spatial memory and decreases the brain A\u03b2 (1-40) level in olfactory bulbectomized (OBX) mice demonstrating main features of Alzheimer's type neurodegeneration. In the present study, we have investigated the supposed mechanism of the therapeutic efficacy of P1 RAGE fragment and compared it to P2 short fragment. We have found that P1 restored activities of the respiratory chain in the Complexes I and IV in both cortical and hippocampal mitochondria of the OBX mice while P2 had no effect. Besides, fluorescein-labeled analog Flu-P1 bound to A\u03b2 (1-40) and A\u03b2 (1-42) with high affinity (Kd in the nanomolar range) whereas Flu-P2 revealed low affinity with tenfold higher Kd value for A\u03b2 (1-40) and did not bind to A\u03b2 (1-42). However, neither of the peptides had a notable impact on inflammation, estimated as mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines in the brain tissues of OBX mice. Taken together, our results suggest that direct A\u03b2-P1 interaction is one of the molecular events mediating the protection of the mitochondria in OBX animals from A\u03b2 toxic effect. The RAGE fragment P1 would be the soluble decoy for A\u03b2s and serve as a promising therapeutic agent against neurodegeneration accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction.",

Given that \u03b1-synuclein may be an early mediator of the pathological cascade that ultimately leads to neurodegeneration, decreased \u03b1-synuclein synthesis will abate neurotoxicity if delivered to the key affected neurons. We used a non-viral gene therapy based on a new indatraline-conjugated antisense oligonucleotide (IND-ASO) to disrupt the \u03b1-synuclein mRNA transcription selectively in monoamine neurons of a PD-like mouse model and elderly nonhuman primates. Molecular, cell biology, histological, neurochemical and behavioral assays were performed. Intracerebroventricular and intranasal IND-ASO administration for four weeks in a mouse model with AAV-mediated wild-type human \u03b1-synuclein overexpression in dopamine neurons prevented the synthesis and accumulation of \u03b1-synuclein in the connected brain regions, improving dopamine neurotransmission. Likewise, the four-week IND-ASO treatment led to decreased levels of endogenous \u03b1-synuclein protein in the midbrain monoamine nuclei of nonhuman primates, which are affected early in PD. The inhibition of \u03b1-synuclein production in dopamine neurons and its accumulation in cortical/striatal projection areas may alleviate the early deficits of dopamine function, showing the high translational value of antisense oligonucleotides as a disease modifying therapy for PD and related synucleinopathies.

However, genetic engineering fruit-specific expression of heterologous yeast S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) decarboxylase in tomato has been found to result in a high accumulation of SPD and SPM at the cost of PUT. This system enabled a genetic approach to determine the impact of increased endogenous levels of biogenic amines SPD and SPM in tomato (579HO transgenic line) and on the biogenesis, transcription, processing, and stability of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes in tomato fruit as compared with the non-transgenic 556AZ line. One major biogenetic process regulating transcription and processing of pre-mRNA complexes in the nucleus involves small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). To determine the effect of high levels of SPD and SPM on these latter processes, we cloned, sequenced, and identified a box C/D snoRNA cluster in tomato, namely, SlSnoR12, SlU24a, Slz44a, and Slz132b. Similar to this snoRNA cluster housed on chromosome (Chr.) 6, two other noncoding C/D box genes, SlsnoR12.2 and SlU24b, with a 94% identity to those on Chr. 6 were found located on Chr. 3. We also found that other snoRNAs divisible into snoRNA subclusters A and B, separated by a uridine rich spacer, were decorated with other C/D box snoRNAs, namely, J10.3, Z131a/b, J10.1, and Z44a, followed by z132a, J11.3, z132b, U24, Z20, U24a, and J11. Several of these, for example, SlZ44a, Slz132b, and SlU24a share conserved sequences similar to those in Arabidopsis and rice. RNAseq analysis of high SPD/SPM transgenic tomatoes (579HO line) showed significant enrichment of RNA polymerases, ribosomal, and translational protein genes at the breaker+8 ripening stage as compared with the 556AZ control. Thus, these results indicate that SPD/SPM regulates snoRNA and rRNA expression directly or indirectly, in turn, affecting protein synthesis, metabolism, and other cellular activities in a positive manner.",

Numerous studies have indicated the toxicity of dipeptide repeats (DPRs) which are produced via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation from the repeat expansion and accumulate in the brain of C9FTD/ALS patients. Mouse models expressing the human C9ORF72 repeat and/or DPRs show variable pathological, functional, and behavioral characteristics of FTD and ALS. Here, we report a new Tet-on inducible mouse model that expresses 36x pure G4C2 repeats with 100bp upstream and downstream human flanking regions. Brain specific expression causes the formation of sporadic sense DPRs aggregates upon 6 months dox induction but no apparent neurodegeneration. Expression in the rest of the body evokes abundant sense DPRs in multiple organs, leading to weight loss, neuromuscular junction disruption, myopathy, and a locomotor phenotype within the time frame of four weeks. We did not observe any RNA foci or pTDP-43 pathology. Accumulation of DPRs and the myopathy phenotype could be prevented when 36x G4C2 repeat expression was stopped after 1 week. After 2 weeks of expression, the phenotype could not be reversed, even though DPR levels were reduced. In conclusion, expression of 36x pure G4C2 repeats including 100bp human flanking regions is sufficient for RAN translation of sense DPRs and evokes a functional locomotor phenotype. Our inducible mouse model suggests early diagnosis and treatment are important for C9FTD/ALS patients.",

FTD and ALS are linked by shared genetic causes (e.g. C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansions) and neuropathology, such as inclusions of ubiquitinated, misfolded proteins (e.g. TAR DNA-binding protein 43; TDP-43) in the CNS. Furthermore, some genes that cause FTD or ALS when mutated encode proteins that localize to the lysosome or modulate endosome-lysosome function, including lysosomal fusion, cargo trafficking, lysosomal acidification, autophagy, or TFEB activity. In this review, we summarize evidence that lysosomal dysfunction, caused by genetic mutations (e.g. C9orf72, GRN, MAPT, TMEM106B) or toxic-gain of function (e.g. aggregation of TDP-43 or tau), is an important pathogenic disease mechanism in FTD and ALS. Further studies into the normal function of many of these proteins are required and will help uncover the mechanisms that cause lysosomal dysfunction in FTD and ALS. Mutations or polymorphisms in genes that encode proteins important for endosome-lysosome function also occur in other age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's (e.g. APOE, PSEN1, APP) and Parkinson's (e.g. GBA, LRRK2, ATP13A2) disease.

As, I, we recently discovered the intranasal neuropeptide oxytocin to reduce experimentally provoked PTSD symptoms, II, expression of its receptor (OXTR) has hitherto not been assessed in PTSD patients, and III, oxytocin and OXTR have previously been related to the HPA axis, we considered both as suitable candidates. During a Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), we compared serum oxytocin and blood OXTR mRNA concentrations between female PTSD patients, their HPA axis reactivity subtypes and sex and age-matched healthy controls (HC). At baseline, both candidates differentiated the hyporesponsive HPA axis subtype from HC, however, only baseline OXTR mRNA discriminated also between subtypes. Furthermore, in the hyporesponsive HPA axis subgroup, OXTR mRNA levels correlated with PTSD symptoms and changed markedly during the TSST. To assess the influence of (traumatic) stress on the cerebral expression of oxytocin and its receptor and to test their suitability as biomarkers for the mouse PTSD-like syndrome, we then analyzed oxytocin, its mRNA (Oxt) and Oxtr mRNA in three relevant brain regions and Oxt in blood of a PTSD mouse model. To further explore the HPA axis reactivity subtype dependency of OXTR, we compared cerebral OXTR protein expression between mice exhibiting two different HPA axis reactivity traits, i.e., FK506 binding protein 51 knockout vs. wildtype mice. In summary, blood OXTR mRNA emerged as a potential biomarker of the hyporesponsive HPA axis PTSD subtype and prefrontal cortical Oxtr and Oxt of the mouse PTSD-like syndrome. Moreover, we found first translational evidence for a HPA axis responsivity trait-dependent regulation of OXTR expression.

Polyamines stabilize DNA and mRNA for gene transcription and mRNA translation, stimulate proliferation of trophectoderm, and formation of multinucleated trophectoderm cells that give rise to giant cells in the placentae of species such as mice. Polyamines activate MTOR cell signaling to stimulate protein synthesis and they are important for motility through modification of beta-catenin phosphorylation, integrin signaling via focal adhesion kinases, cytoskeletal organization, and invasiveness or superficial implantation of blastocysts. Physiological levels of arginine, agmatine, and polyamines are critical to the secretion of interferon tau for pregnancy recognition in ruminants. Arginine, polyamines, and agmatine are very abundant in fetal fluids, fetal blood, and tissues of the conceptus during gestation.

Toxic dipeptide repeats (DPRs) are synthesized from GGGGCC via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation.

The worms generate DPRs (poly-glycine-alanine [poly-GA], poly-glycine-proline [poly-GP]) and poly-glycine-arginine [poly-GR]), display neurodegeneration, and exhibit locomotor and lifespan defects. Mutation of a non-canonical translation-initiating codon (CUG) upstream of the repeats selectively reduces poly-GA steady-state levels and ameliorates disease, suggesting poly-GA is pathogenic. Importantly, loss-of-function mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2D (eif-2D/eIF2D) reduce poly-GA and poly-GP levels, and increase lifespan in both C. elegans models.

Neurodegenerative disorders are typically characterized by inclusions of misfolded proteins and since lysosomes are an important site for cellular debris clearance, lysosomal dysfunction has been closely linked to neurodegeneration. Consequently, many causal mutations or genetic risk variants implicated in neurodegenerative diseases encode proteins involved in endosomal-lysosomal function. As an integral lysosomal transmembrane protein, TMEM106B regulates several aspects of lysosomal function and multiple studies have shown that proper TMEM106B protein levels are crucial for maintaining lysosomal health. Yet, the precise function of TMEM106B at the lysosomal membrane is undetermined and it remains unclear how TMEM106B modulates disease risk. Unexpectedly, several independent groups recently showed that the C-terminal domain (AA120-254) of TMEM106B forms amyloid fibrils in the brain of patients with a diverse set of neurodegenerative conditions. The recognition that TMEM106B can form amyloid fibrils and is present across neurodegenerative diseases sheds new light on TMEM106B as a central player in neurodegeneration and brain health, but also raises important new questions.

The mouse and cell culture models of NASH have concomitant decreases in Eif5aH and mitochondrial protein synthesis which leads to lower mitochondrial activity and fatty acid \u03b2-oxidation.

Messenger RNA was isolated 0.5 or 1, 12, or 24 h post-treatment. The cell type had no effect (p > 0.10) on proliferation, protein synthesis, or mRNA abundance at any time point. Each treatment increased (p < 0.01) proliferation, and anabolic hormones increased (p = 0.04) protein synthesis. Polyamines increased (p < 0.05) the abundance of mRNA involved in polyamine biosynthesis, proliferation, and protein synthesis. Treatment with polyamine precursors decreased (p < 0.05) the abundance of mRNA involved in proliferation and protein synthesis. Overall, C2C12 and Sol8 myoblasts do not differ (p > 0.10) in proliferation, protein synthesis, or mRNA abundance at the time points assessed. Furthermore, anabolic hormones, polyamines, and polyamine precursors increase proliferation and protein synthesis, and polyamines and their precursors alter the abundance of mRNA involved in growth.",

Genetic studies have implicated TMEM106B haplotypes in the development of multiple neurodegenerative diseases with the strongest effect in frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology (FTLD-TDP), especially in progranulin (GRN) mutation carriers. Recently, cryo-electron microscopy studies showed that a C-terminal fragment (CTF) of TMEM106B (amino acid residues 120-254) forms amyloid fibrils in the brain of patients with FTLD-TDP, but also in brains with other neurodegenerative conditions and normal ageing brain. The functional implication of these fibrils and their relationship to the disease-associated TMEM106B haplotype remain unknown. We performed immunoblotting using a newly developed antibody to detect TMEM106B CTFs in the sarkosyl-insoluble fraction of post-mortem human brain tissue from patients with different proteinopathies (n = 64) as well as neuropathologically normal individuals (n = 10) and correlated the results with age and TMEM106B haplotype. We further compared the immunoblot results with immunohistochemical analyses performed in the same study population. Immunoblot analysis showed the expected \u223c30 kDa band in the sarkosyl-insoluble fraction of frontal cortex tissue in at least some individuals with each of the conditions evaluated. Most patients with GRN mutations showed an intense band representing TMEM106B CTF, whereas in most neurologically normal individuals it was absent or much weaker. In the overall cohort, the presence of TMEM106B CTFs correlated strongly with both age (rs = 0.539, P < 0.001) and the presence of the TMEM106B risk haplotype (rs = 0.469, P < 0.001). Although there was a strong overall correlation between the results of immunoblot and immunohistochemistry (rs = 0.662, P < 0.001), 27 cases (37%) were found to have higher amounts of TMEM106B CTFs detected by immunohistochemistry, including most of the older individuals who were neuropathologically normal and individuals who carried two protective TMEM106B haplotypes. Our findings suggest that the formation of sarkosyl-insoluble TMEM106B CTFs is an age-related feature which is modified by TMEM106B haplotype, potentially underlying its disease-modifying effect. The discrepancies between immunoblot and immunohistochemistry in detecting TMEM106B pathology suggests the existence of multiple species of TMEM106B CTFs with possible biological relevance and disease implications.",

Understanding whether diffuse AD-TDP has genetic, clinical, and pathological features that differ from limbic AD-TDP could have clinical and research implications. To better characterize the clinical and pathologic features of diffuse AD-TDP and differentiate it from limbic AD-TDP. 363 participants from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, and Neurodegenerative Research Group with autopsy confirmed AD and TDP-43 pathology were included. All underwent genetic, clinical, neuropsychologic, and neuropathologic evaluations. AD-TDP pathology distribution was assessed using the Josephs 6-stage scale. Stages 1-3 were classified as Limbic, those 4-6 as Diffuse. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify clinicopathologic features that independently predicted diffuse pathology. The cohort was 61% female and old at onset (median: 76 years [IQR:70-82]) and death (median: 88 years [IQR:82-92]). Fifty-four percent were Limbic and 46% Diffuse. Clinically, \u223c10-20% increases in odds of being Diffuse associated with 5-year increments in age at onset (p\u200a=\u200a0.04), 1-year longer disease duration (p\u200a=\u200a0.02), and higher Neuropsychiatric Inventory scores (p\u200a=\u200a0.03), while 15-second longer Trailmaking Test-B times (p\u200a=\u200a0.02) and higher Block Design Test scores (p\u200a=\u200a0.02) independently decreased the odds by ~\u00a010-15%. There was evidence for association of APOE\u025b4 allele with limbic AD-TDP and of TMEM106B rs3173615\u200aC allele with diffuse AD-TDP. Pathologically, widespread amyloid-\u03b2 plaques (Thal phases: 3-5) decreased the odds of diffuse TDP-43 pathology by 80-90%, while hippocampal sclerosis increased it sixfold (p\u200a<\u200a0.001).

Through cryogenic electron microscopy, the studies identified various protofilament structures of TMEM106B fibrils from individuals with several neurodegenerative diseases. These findings raise new questions and opportunities for future research, as they suggest that TMEM106B plays a central role in FTLD pathology. These discoveries also prompt the need for the development of specific antibodies for fibrillar TMEM106B and necessitate further investigation of the potential mechanistic link between TMEM106B and other filamentous aggregates. The power of cryo-EM techniques is underscored in these unexpected findings and may be a vital tool for gaining further molecular insights into neurodegenerative diseases characterized by amyloid deposits.",

Previous understanding of the underlying mechanism focused on the impairment of lysosome biogenesis caused by TMEM106B loss-of-function. However, mutations in TMEM106B increase its expression level, thus the molecular process linking these mutations to the apparent disruption in TMEM106B function remains mysterious. Recent new studies reported that TMEM106B proteins form intracellular amyloid filaments which universally exist in various neurodegenerative diseases, sometimes being the dominant form of protein aggregation. In light of these new findings, in this review we systematically examined previous efforts in understanding the function of TMEM106B in physiological and pathological conditions. We propose that TMEM106B aggregations could recruit normal TMEM106B proteins and interfere with their function. TMEM106B mutations could lead to lysosome dysfunction by promoting the aggregation of TMEM106B and reducing these aggregations may restore lysosomal function, providing a potential therapeutic target for various neurodegenerative diseases.",

As in previous years, the focus is to highlight human tissue-based experimentation most relevant to neuropathologists. A concerted effort was made to balance the selected studies across disease categories, approaches, and methodologies to capture the breadth of the research landscape. Studies include an integrated proteomic and transcriptomic study of Alzheimer disease (AD) and new consensus diagnostic neuropathological criteria for progressive supranuclear palsy. A number of studies looking at TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) are highlighted. One examined interaction between AD and limbic age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) and yet another demonstrated how TDP-43 represses cryptic exon inclusion in UNC13A, suggesting a novel pathogenic mechanism. Most surprisingly, three cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) studies showed that TMEM106B filaments form the core of TDP-43-positive inclusions. Cryo-EM revealed a prion protein amyloid structure from aggregates in Gerstmann-Str\u00e4ussler-Scheinker disease. There was an elegant functional genomic study cataloging microglial gene expression in the human brain. A study shed light on how APOE influences chronic traumatic encephalopathy. A pathoanatomical study tested the dual hit hypothesis of Lewy body progression throughout the nervous system. And finally, deep learning continues to show its promise with application of a weakly supervised multiple instance learning paradigm to assess aging post-mortem brains.",

Additionally, recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains. However, so far little is known about physiological functions of TMEM106B in the endolysosome and how TMEM106B is involved in a wide range of human conditions at molecular levels. Here, we performed lipidomic analysis of the brain of TMEM106B-deficient mice. We found that TMEM106B deficiency significantly decreases levels of two major classes of myelin lipids, galactosylceramide and its sulfated derivative sulfatide. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that TMEM106B physically interacts with galactosylceramidase. We also found that galactosyceramidase activity was significantly increased in TMEM106B-deficient brains. Thus, our results reveal a novel function of TMEM106B interacting with galactosyceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism and have implications for TMEM106B-associated diseases.",

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers may aid in gene discovery and we previously demonstrated that six CSF biomarkers (\u03b2-amyloid, total/phosphorylated tau, NfL, YKL-40, and neurogranin) cluster into five principal components (PC), each representing statistically independent biological processes. Here, we aimed to (1) identify common genetic variants associated with these CSF profiles, (2) assess the role of associated variants in AD pathophysiology, and (3) explore potential sex differences. We performed GWAS for each of the five biomarker PCs in two multi-center studies (EMIF-AD and ADNI). In total, 973 participants (n\u2009=\u2009205 controls, n\u2009=\u2009546 mild cognitive impairment, n\u2009=\u2009222 AD) were analyzed for 7,433,949 common SNPs and 19,511 protein-coding genes. Structural equation models tested whether biomarker PCs mediate genetic risk effects on AD, and stratified and interaction models probed for sex-specific effects. Five loci showed genome-wide significant association with CSF profiles, two were novel (rs145791381 [inflammation] and GRIN2D [synaptic functioning]) and three were previously described (APOE, TMEM106B, and CHI3L1). Follow-up analyses\u00a0of the two novel signals in independent datasets only supported the GRIN2D locus, which contains several functionally interesting candidate genes. Mediation tests indicated that variants in APOE are associated with AD status via processes related to amyloid and tau pathology, while markers in TMEM106B and CHI3L1 are associated with AD only via neuronal injury/inflammation. Additionally, seven loci showed sex-specific associations with AD biomarkers. These results suggest that pathway and sex-specific analyses can improve our understanding of AD genetics and may contribute to precision medicine.",

Cryo-electron microscopy now permits the visualization of amyloid assemblies at atomic resolution, ushering a wide range of structural studies on several of these poorly understood amyloidogenic proteins. Amyloids are polymorphic with minor modulations in reaction environment affecting the overall architecture of their assembly, making amyloids an extremely challenging venture for structure-based therapeutic intervention. In 2017, the first cryo-EM structure of tau filaments from an Alzheimer's disease-affected brain established that in vitro assemblies might not necessarily reflect the native amyloid fold. Since then, brain-derived amyloid structures for several proteins across many neurodegenerative diseases have uncovered the disease-relevant amyloid folds. It has now been shown for tauopathies, synucleinopathies and TDP-43 proteinopathies, that distinct amyloid folds of the same protein might be related to different diseases. Salient features of each of these brain-derived folds are discussed in detail. It was also recently observed that seeded aggregation does not necessarily replicate the brain-derived structural fold. Owing to high throughput structure determination, some of these native amyloid folds have also been successfully replicated in vitro. In vitro replication of disease-relevant filaments will aid development of imaging ligands and defibrillating drugs. Towards this direction, recent high-resolution structures of tau filaments with positron emission tomography tracers and a defibrillating drug are also discussed. This review summarizes and celebrates the recent advancements in structural understanding of neuropathological amyloid filaments using cryo-EM.",

Paracrine factors secreted by stem cells in vitro and delivered intranasally might allow bypassing the disadvantages associated with a surgical cell delivery procedure with likely immune rejection of a transplant. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effect of the extracellular vesicles secreted by glial progenitor cells (GPC-EV) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cell in a traumatic brain injury model. Intranasal administration of GPC-EV to Wistar rats for 6\u00a0days improved sensorimotor functions assessed over a 14-day observation period. Beside, deep sequencing of microRNA transcriptome of GPC-EV was estimate, and was revealed 203 microRNA species that might be implicated in prevention of various brain pathologies. Modulation of microRNA pools might contribute to the observed decrease in the number of astrocytes that inhibit neurorecovery processes while enhancing neuroplasticity by decreasing phosphorylated Tau forms, preventing inflammation and apoptosis associated with secondary damage to brain tissue. The course of GPC-EV administration was promoted the increasing protein levels of NF-\u03baB in studied areas of the rat brain, indicating NF-\u03baB dependent mechanisms as a plausible route of neuroprotection within the damaged area.

Despite this progress, as a field we have had only limited success in incorporating this rich complexity of human AD/ADRD genetics findings into our animal models of these diseases. Our primary goal for the gene replacement (GR)-AD project is to develop mouse lines that model the genetics of AD/ADRD as closely as possible. To do this, we are generating mouse lines in which the genes of interest are precisely and completely replaced in the mouse genome by their full human orthologs.

This effort identified 10,004 eGenes at the cell type level and 8,099 eGenes at the cell subtype level. Many eGenes are only detected within cell subtypes. A new variant influences APOE expression only in microglia and is associated with greater cerebral amyloid angiopathy but not Alzheimer's disease pathology, after adjusting for APOE\u03b54, providing mechanistic insights into both pathologies.

Furthermore, TMEM106B has been investigated as a disease modifier in the context of healthy aging and across multiple neurodegenerative diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the effect of TMEM106B on gray matter volume and cognition in each of the common genetic FTD groups and in sporadic FTD patients. Participants were enrolled through the ARTFL/LEFFTDS Longitudinal Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (ALLFTD) study, which includes symptomatic and presymptomatic individuals with a pathogenic mutation in C9orf72, GRN, MAPT, VCP, TBK1, TARDBP, symptomatic non-mutation carriers, and non-carrier family controls. All participants were genotyped for the TMEM106B rs1990622 SNP. Cross-sectionally, linear mixed-effects models were fitted to assess an association between TMEM106B and genetic group interaction with each outcome measure (gray matter volume and UDS3-EF for cognition), adjusting for education, age, sex and CDR\u00ae+NACC-FTLD sum of boxes. Subsequently, associations between TMEM106B and each outcome measure were investigated within the genetic group. For longitudinal modeling, linear mixed-effects models with time by TMEM106B predictor interactions were fitted. The minor allele of TMEM106B rs1990622, linked to a decreased risk of FTD, associated with greater gray matter volume in GRN mutation carriers under the recessive dosage model. This was most pronounced in the thalamus in the left hemisphere, with a retained association when considering presymptomatic GRN mutation carriers only. The minor allele of TMEM106B rs1990622 also associated with greater cognitive scores among all C9orf72 mutation carriers and in presymptomatic C9orf72 mutation carriers, under the recessive dosage model. We identified associations of TMEM106B with gray matter volume and cognition in the presence of GRN and C9orf72 mutations. This further supports TMEM106B as modifier of TDP-43 pathology. The association of TMEM106B with outcomes of interest in presymptomatic GRN and C9orf72 mutation carriers could additionally reflect TMEM106B's impact on divergent pathophysiological changes before the appearance of clinical symptoms.",

The present study was conducted to investigate the molecular mechanism of arginine in proliferation, differentiation, and physiological function of porcine trophoblast cells (pTr2) through metabolic pathways. The results showed that arginine significantly increased cell viability (P\u2009<\u20090.05). The addition of arginine had a quadratic tendency to increase the content of progesterone (P\u2009=\u20090.06) and protein synthesis rate (P\u2009=\u20090.03), in which the maximum protein synthesis rate was observed at 0.4 mM arginine. Arginine quadratically increased (P\u2009<\u20090.05) the intracellular contents of spermine, spermidine and putrescine, as well as linearly increased (P\u2009<\u20090.05) the intracellular content of NO in a dose-dependent manner. Arginine showed a quadratic tendency to increase the content of putrescine (P\u2009=\u20090.07) and a linear tendency to increase NO content (P\u2009=\u20090.09) in cell supernatant. Moreover, increasing arginine activated (P\u2009<\u20090.05) the mRNA expressions for ARG, ODC, iNOS and PCNA. Furthermore, inhibitors of arginine metabolism (L-NMMA and DFMO) both inhibited cell proliferation, while addition of its metabolites (NO and putrescine) promoted the cell proliferation and cell cycle, the mRNA expressions of PCNA, EGF and IGF-1, and increased (P\u2009<\u20090.05) cellular protein synthesis rate, as well as estradiol and hCG secretion (P\u2009<\u20090.05). In conclusion, our results suggested that arginine could promote cell proliferation and physiological function by regulating the metabolic pathway.

The cytotoxicity of the intracellular polyQ and RAN products has been extensively investigated. However, little is known about the toxicity of the extracellular polyQ and RAN products on the membranes of viable cells. Because polyQ aggregates induce a deflated morphology of a model membrane, we hypothesized that extracellular polyQ and RAN products might affect the membrane properties of viable cells. In this study, we demonstrated that exogenous polyS fibrils but not polyS or polyQ non-fibril aggregates altered the thermal phase transition behavior of a model membrane composed of a phosphatidylcholine bilayer using differential scanning calorimetry. PolyS fibrils induced morphological changes in viable red blood cells (RBCs). However, both polyS and polyQ non-fibril aggregates had no effects on RBCs. These results highlight the possibility that extracellular fibrils generated from RAN products may alter the properties of neuronal cell membranes, which may contribute to changes in the brain pathology.",

Multiple therapeutic strategies are in clinical development to restore PGRN in the CNS, including gene therapy. However, a limitation of current gene therapy approaches aimed to alleviate FTLD-associated pathologies may be their inefficient brain exposure and biodistribution. We therefore developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) targeting the liver (L) to achieve sustained peripheral expression of a transferrin receptor (TfR) binding, brain-penetrant (b) PGRN variant [AAV(L):bPGRN] in two mouse models of FTLD-GRN, namely, Grn knockout and GrnxTmem106b double knockout mice. This therapeutic strategy avoids potential safety and biodistribution issues of CNS-administered AAVs and maintains sustained concentrations of PGRN in the brain after a single dose. AAV(L):bPGRN treatment reduced several FTLD-GRN-associated pathologies including severe motor function deficits, aberrant TDP-43 phosphorylation, dysfunctional protein degradation, lipid metabolism, gliosis, and neurodegeneration in the brain. The potential translatability of our findings was tested in an in vitro model using cocultured human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived microglia lacking PGRN and TMEM106B and wild-type hiPSC-derived neurons. As in mice, aberrant TDP-43, lysosomal dysfunction, and neuronal loss were ameliorated after treatment with exogenous TfR-binding protein transport vehicle fused to PGRN (PTV:PGRN). Together, our studies suggest that peripherally administered brain-penetrant PGRN replacement strategies ameliorate FTLD-GRN relevant phenotypes including TDP-43 pathology, neurodegeneration, and behavioral deficits. Our data provide preclinical proof of concept for the use of this AAV platform for treatment of FTLD-GRN and potentially other CNS disorders.",

TMEM106B filament formation requires cleavage at residue 120 of the 274 amino acid protein; at present, it is not known if residues 255-274 form the fuzzy coat of TMEM106B filaments. Here we show that a second cleavage appears likely, based on staining with an antibody raised against residues 263-274 of TMEM106B. We also show that besides the brain TMEM106B inclusions form in dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord, where they were mostly found in non-neuronal cells. We confirm that in the brain, inclusions were most abundant in astrocytes. No inclusions were detected in heart, liver, spleen or hilar lymph nodes. Based on their staining with luminescent conjugated oligothiophenes, we confirm that TMEM106B inclusions are amyloids.

Through advances in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), homotypic aggregates of the C-Terminal domain of TMEM106B (TMEM CT) were discovered as a previously unidentified cytosolic proteinopathy in the brains of FTLD, Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) patients. While it remains unknown what role TMEM CT aggregation plays in neuronal loss, its presence across a range of aging related dementia disorders indicates involvement in multi-proteinopathy driven neurodegeneration. To determine the TMEM CT aggregation propensity and neurodegenerative potential, we characterized a novel transgenic C. elegans model expressing the human TMEM CT fragment constituting the fibrillar core seen in FTLD cases. We found that pan-neuronal expression of human TMEM CT in C. elegans causes neuronal dysfunction as evidenced by behavioral analysis. Cytosolic aggregation of TMEM CT proteins accompanied the behavioral dysfunction driving neurodegeneration, as illustrated by loss of GABAergic neurons. To investigate the molecular mechanisms driving TMEM106B proteinopathy, we explored the impact of PGRN loss on the neurodegenerative effect of TMEM CT expression. To this end, we generated TMEM CT expressing C. elegans with loss of pgrn-1, the C. elegans ortholog of human PGRN. Neither full nor partial loss of pgrn-1 altered the motor phenotype of our TMEM CT model suggesting TMEM CT aggregation occurs downstream of PGRN loss of function. We also tested the ability of genetic suppressors of tauopathy to rescue TMEM CT pathology. We found that genetic knockout of spop-1, sut-2, and sut-6 resulted in weak to no rescue of proteinopathy phenotypes, indicating that the mechanistic drivers of TMEM106B proteinopathy may be distinct from tauopathy. Taken together, our data demonstrate that TMEM CT aggregation can kill neurons. Further, expression of TMEM CT in C. elegans neurons provides a useful model for the functional characterization of TMEM106B proteinopathy in neurodegenerative disease.",

However, there is currently a lack of summary and analysis on the mechanism of Panax ginseng exerts its cardiovascular protective effects. This article provides a review of in vivo and in vitro pharmacological studies on Panax ginseng and its active ingredients in reducing CVDs damage. This review summarized the latest literature on Panax ginseng and its active ingredients in CVDs research, aiming to have a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the cardiovascular protection mechanism of Panax ginseng, and to provide new ideas for the treatment of CVDs, as well as to optimize the clinical application of Panax ginseng. Enrichment of pathways and biological terms using the traditional Chinese medicine molecular mechanism bioinformatics analysis tool (BATMAN-TCM). The literature search is based on electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, CNKI, with a search period of 2002-2023. The search terms include Panax ginseng, Panax ginseng ingredients, ginsenosides, ginseng polysaccharides, ginseng glycoproteins, ginseng volatile oil, CVDs, heart, and cardiac. 132 articles were ultimately included in the review. The ingredients in Panax ginseng that manifested cardiovascular protective effects are mainly ginsenosides (especially ginsenoside Rb1). Ginsenosides protected against CVDs such as ischemic reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis and heart failure mainly through improving energy metabolism, inhibiting hyper-autophagy, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and promoting secretion of exosomes. Panax ginseng and its active ingredients have a particularly prominent effect on improving myocardial energy metabolism remodeling in protecting against CVDs. The AMPK and PPAR signaling pathways are the key targets through which Panax ginseng produces multiple mechanisms of cardiovascular protection. Extracellular vesicles and nanoparticles as carriers are potential delivery ways for optimizing the bioavailability of Panax ginseng and its active ingredients.",

The most common neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's (PD) diseases, are characterized by the incidence of proteinopathy, abnormal activation of glial cells, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, impaired autophagy and cellular senescence excessive for the patient's age. Moreover, mitochondrial disfunction, epigenetic alterations and neurogenesis inhibition, together with increased blood-brain barrier permeability and gut dysbiosis, have been linked to ND pathogenesis. Since NDs still lack curative treatment, recent research has sought therapeutic options in restoring gut microbiota and supplementing probiotic bacteria-derived metabolites with beneficial action to the host-so called postbiotics. The current review focuses on literature explaining cellular mechanisms involved in ND pathogenesis and research addressing the impact that postbiotics as a whole mixture and particular metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), lactate, polyamines, polyphenols, tryptophan metabolites, exopolysaccharides and bacterial extracellular vesicles, have on the ageing-associated processes underlying ND occurrence. The review also discusses the issue of implementing postbiotics into ND prophylaxis and therapy, depicting them as compounds addressing senescence-triggered dysfunctions that are worth translating from bench to pharmaceutical market in response to \"silver consumers\" demands.",

We reported that oxidized phosphatidylcholines (OxPCs) are mediators of oxidative stress and accumulate in the lung in response to allergen challenge. The current study begins to unravel mechanisms for OxPC accumulation in the lung, providing the first insights about how OxPCs underpin allergic airway pathophysiology, and pre-clinical testing of selective neutralization of OxPCs in a murine model of allergic asthma. We hypothesized that intranasal delivery of E06, a natural IgM antibody that neutralizes the biological activity of OxPCs, can ameliorate allergen-induced airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Adult BALB/c mice were intranasally (i.n.) challenged with house dust mite (HDM) (25 \u03bcg/mouse, 2 weeks). Some animals also received E06 monoclonal antibody (mAb) (10 \u00b5g) i.n. 1 hr before each HDM challenge. HDM challenge reduced mRNA for anti-oxidant genes (SOD1, SOD2, HO-1, and NFE2L2) in the lung by several orders of magnitude (p < 0.05). Concomitantly, total immune cell number in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) increased significantly (p < 0.001). E06 mAb treatment prevented allergen-induced BALF immune cell number by 43% (p < 0.01). This included a significant blockade of eosinophils (by 48%, p < 0.001), neutrophils (by 80%, p < 0.001), macrophages (by 80%, p < 0.05), and CD4 (by 30%, p < 0.05) and CD8 (by 42%, p < 0.01) lymphocytes. E06 effects correlated with a significant reduction in TNF (by 64%, p < 0.001) and IL-1\u03b2 (by 75%, p < 0.05) and a trend to diminish accumulation of other cytokines (e.g., IL-4, -10, and -33, and IFN-\u03b3). E06 mAb treatment also inhibited HDM exposure-induced increases in total respiratory resistance and small airway resistance by 24% and 26%, respectively. In conclusion, prophylactic treatment with an OxPC-neutralizing antibody significantly limits allergen-induced airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, suggesting that OxPCs are important mediators of oxidative stress-associated allergic lung pathophysiology.",

It has been proposed that polyPR disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) through several mechanisms including accumulation in the nuclear pore complex (NPC), accumulation in the nucleolus, and direct interactions with transport receptors. The NPC, which is the key regulator of transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus, plays a central role in these suggested mechanisms. Exploring polyPR interaction with the NPC provides valuable insight into the molecular details of polyPR-mediated NCT defects. To address this, we use coarse-grained molecular dynamics models of polyPR and the yeast NPC lined with intrinsically disordered FG-nucleoporins (FG-Nups). Our findings indicate no aggregation of polyPR within the NPC or permanent binding to FG-Nups. Instead, polyPR translocates through the NPC, following a trajectory through the central low-density region of the pore. In the case of longer polyPRs, we observe a higher energy barrier for translocation and a narrower translocation channel. Our study shows that polyPR and FG-Nups are mainly engaged in steric interactions inside\u00a0the NPC with only a small contribution of specific cation-pi, hydrophobic, and electrostatic interactions, allowing polyPR to overcome the entropic barrier of the NPC in a size-dependent manner.",

While much of the focus has been on lipid NPs, non-lipid NPs, including polymeric NPs, have the possibility of improved efficacy, safety, and targeting, especially to non-liver organs following systemic administration. A safe and effective systemic approach for intracellular delivery to the lungs could overcome limitations to intratracheal/intranasal delivery of NPs and improve clinical benefit for a range of diseases including cystic fibrosis. Here, engineered biodegradable poly (beta-amino ester) (PBAE) NPs are shown to facilitate efficient delivery of mRNA to primary human airway epithelial cells from both healthy donors and individuals with cystic fibrosis. Optimized NP formulations made with differentially endcapped PBAEs and systemically administered in vivo lead to high expression of mRNA within the lungs in BALB/c and C57\u00a0B/L mice without requiring a complex targeting ligand. High levels of mRNA-based gene editing were achieved in an Ai9 mouse model across bronchial, epithelial, and endothelial cell populations. No toxicity was observed either acutely or over time, including after multiple systemic administrations of the NPs. The non-lipid biodegradable PBAE NPs demonstrate high levels of transfection in both primary human airway epithelial cells and in vivo editing of lung cell types that are targets for numerous life-limiting diseases particularly single gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis and surfactant deficiencies.",

Additionally, recent studies have identified amyloid fibrils of C-terminal TMEM106B in both aged healthy and neurodegenerative brains. However, so far little is known about physiological functions of TMEM106B in the endolysosome and how TMEM106B is involved in a wide range of human conditions at molecular levels. Here, we performed lipidomic analysis of the brain of TMEM106B-deficient mice. We found that TMEM106B deficiency significantly decreases levels of two major classes of myelin lipids, galactosylceramide and its sulfated derivative sulfatide. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that TMEM106B physically interacts with galactosylceramidase. We also found that galactosylceramidase activity was significantly increased in TMEM106B-deficient brains. Thus, our results suggest that TMEM106B interacts with galactosylceramidase to regulate myelin lipid metabolism and have implications for TMEM106B-associated diseases.",

These developments have opened new translational research avenues to explore the neuroprotective effects of platelet-extracellular vesicles (PEVs). Their potential in managing neurodegenerative conditions like traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Parkinson's disease (PD) warrants further exploration. We aimed here to characterize the composition of a PEV preparation isolated from platelet concentrate (PC)\u00a0supernatant, and determine its neuroprotective potential and neurorestorative effects in cellular and animal models of TBI and PD. We isolated PEVs from the supernatant of clinical-grade PC collected from healthy blood donors utilizing high-speed centrifugation. PEVs were characterized by biophysical, biochemical, microscopic, and LC-MS/MS proteomics methods to unveil biological functions. Their functionality was assessed in vitro using SH-SY5Y neuronal cells, LUHMES dopaminergic neurons, and BV-2 microglial cells, and in vivo by intranasal administration in a controlled cortical impact (CCI)-TBI model using 8-weeks-old male C57/BL6 mice, and in a PD model induced by MPTP in 5-month-old male C57/BL6 mice. PEVs varied in size from 50 to 350\u00a0nm, predominantly around 200\u00a0nm, with concentrations ranging between 1010 and 1011/mL. They expressed specific platelet membrane markers, exhibited a lipid bilayer by cryo-electron microscopy and, importantly, showed low\u00a0expression of pro-coagulant phosphatidylserine. LC-MS/MS indicated a rich composition of trophic factors, including neurotrophins, anti-inflammatory agents, neurotransmitters, and antioxidants, unveiling their multifaceted biological functions. PEVs aided in the restoration of neuronal functions in SH-SY5Y cells and demonstrated remarkable neuroprotective capabilities against erastin-induced ferroptosis in dopaminergic neurons. In microglial cells, they promoted anti-inflammatory responses, particularly under inflammatory conditions. In vivo, intranasally delivered PEVs showed strong anti-inflammatory effects in a TBI mouse model and conserved tyrosine hydroxylase expression of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra in a PD model, leading to improved motor function. The potential of PEV-based therapies in neuroprotection opens new therapeutic avenues for neurodegenerative disorders. The study advocates for clinical trials to establish the efficacy of PEV-based biotherapies in neuroregenerative medicine.",

Abundance of 13 cell types and neuronal subtypes in brain bulk RNA-seq data from the anterior caudate, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) obtained from 434 AD cases, 318 cognitively resilient AD cases, and 188 controls in the Religious Orders Study and Rush Memory and Aging Project was estimated by deconvolution. PVALB+ neuron abundance was negatively associated with cognitive status and tau pathology in the DLPFC and PCC (Padj\u00a0<\u00a00.001) and the most reduced neuronal subtype in AD cases compared to controls in DLPFC (Padj\u00a0=\u00a08.4\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010-7) and PCC (Padj\u00a0=\u00a00.0015). We identified genome-wide significant association of neuron abundance with TMEM106B single nucleotide polymorphism rs13237518 in PCC (p\u00a0=\u00a06.08\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010-12). rs13237518 was also associated with amyloid beta (p\u00a0=\u00a00.0085) and tangles (p\u00a0=\u00a00.0073). High abundance of PVALB+ neurons may be a marker of CR. TMEM106B variants may influence CR independent of AD pathology. Neuron retention and a lack of astrocytosis are highly predictive of Alzheimer's disease (AD) resilience. PVALB+ GABAergic and RORB+ glutamatergic neurons are associated with cognitive status. A TMEM106B single nucleotide polymorphism is related to lower AD risk, higher neuron count, and increased AD pathology.",

This study explored the therapeutic potential of lithium salt dissolved in Ryanodex formulation vehicle (RFV) and delivered to the brain by intranasal application. We first compared lithium concentrations in the brain and blood of wild-type mice following intranasal or oral administration of lithium chloride (LiCl) dissolved in either RFV or water. The beneficial and side effects of intranasal versus oral LiCl in RFV in these mice were assessed and potential mechanisms underlying the efficacy of anti-inflammation and anti-pyroptosis in the brains were also investigated in both wild-type (WT) and 5XFAD Alzheimer's Disease (AD) mice brains. For the study of brain versus blood lithium concentrations, WT B6SJLF1/J mice at 2 months of age were treated with intranasal or oral LiCl (3 mmol/kg) dissolved in RFV or in water. Brain and blood lithium concentrations were measured at various times after drugs administration. Brain/blood lithium concentration ratios were then determined. For studying therapeutic efficacy versus side effects and their underlying mechanisms, 5XFAD and WT B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with intranasal LiCl (3 mmol/kg) daily, Monday to Friday each week, in RFV beginning at 2 or 9 months of age with a 12-week treatment duration. Animal behaviors were assessed for depression (tail suspension), cognition (fear conditioning and Y maze), olfaction (buried food test), and motor functions (rotarod) at the age of 5 and 12 months. Blood and brain tissue were harvested from these mice at 13 months. Blood biomarkers for the functions of thyroid (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) and kidney (creatinine) were measured using ELISA. Changes in protein expression levels of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels type 1 InsP3 receptors (InsP3R-1), malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified proteins and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), pyroptosis regulatory proteins (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal of Gasdermin D (GSDMD)), cytotoxic (IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) and cytoprotective (IL-10) cytokines and synapse proteins (PSD-95, synapsin-1) were determined using immunoblotting. Mouse body weights were monitored regularly. Compared to oral LiCl in RFV nanoparticles, intranasal treatment of WT mice with LiCl in RFV markedly decreased blood concentrations at the time frame of 30-120 minutes. The ratio of brain/blood lithium concentration after Intranasal lithium chloride in RFV significantly increased, in comparison to those after oral administration lithium chloride in RFV or intranasal administration of lithium chloride in water. Intranasal lithium chloride in RFV inhibited both memory loss and depressive behavior in adult and aged 5XFAD mice. Additionally intranasal treatment of aged 5XFAD mice with LiCl in RFV effectively suppressed the increases in InsP3R-1, intracellular oxidative stress markers (4-HNE-bound and MDA-modified proteins), pyroptosis activation proteins (NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal GSDMD) and cytotoxic cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1), but reversed the down-regulation of cytoprotective cytokine IL-10. Intranasal LiCl in RFV also alleviated the loss of the postsynaptic synapse protein PSD-95, but not synapsin-1, in aged 5XFAD mice. Blood level of the kidney function marker creatinine was significantly increased in 5XFAD than in WT mice in an age-dependent manner and this elevation was abolished by intranasal delivery of LiCl in RFV. Intranasal LiCl in RFV for 12 weeks in both WT or 5XFAD mice did not affect blood biomarkers for thyroid function, nor did it affect smell or muscle function or body weight. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV significantly decreased lithium blood concentrations and increased brain/blood lithium concentration ratio, in comparison to its oral administration. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV robustly protected against both memory loss and depressive-like behavior, while had no side effects concerning thyroid and kidney toxicity in 5XFAD mice. These lithium-induced beneficial effects were strongly associated with lithium's suppression of InsP3R-1 Ca2+ channel receptor increase, pathological neuroinflammation and activation of the pyroptosis pathway, as well as the loss of some synaptic proteins. Intranasal delivery of lithium salt in RFV could become an effective and potent inhibitor of pathological inflammation/pyroptosis in the CNS and serve as a new treatment for both AD-associated dementia and depression with minimal unwanted side effects including peripheral organ toxicity.",

Mechanistically, intestinal Lactobacillus murinus-derived small RNAs in extracellular vesicles down-regulate host polyamine metabolism by targeting the expression of enzymes in polyamine metabolism. In addition, Lactobacillus murinus delays recovery of dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis by reducing polyamine levels in mice.

Herein, gelatine-based hydrogel (PAH-G) foams for pEVs loading and release are formulated by crosslinking gelatine with poly(allylamine) hydrochloride (PAH) in the presence of glutaraldehyde and sodium bicarbonate. The optimized PAH-G hydrogel foam, PAH0.24G37, displayed an elastic modulus G' = 8.5 kPa at 37\u00a0\u00b0C and retained a rubbery state at elevated temperatures. The excellent swelling properties of PAH0.24G37 allowed to easily absorb pEVs at high concentration (1\u00a0\u00d7\u00a01011 particles mL-1). The therapeutic effect of pEVs was evaluated in vivo on a chronic wound rat model. These studies demonstrated full wound closure after 14 days upon treatment with PAH0.24G37@pEVs.

Despite the significant burden of this disease, there is currently no licensed vaccine available to prevent it. This study aimed to evaluate the mucosal and systemic immunogenicity as well as the prophylactic efficacy of a mucosal vaccine candidate and its impact on both acute and chronic cardiomyopathy. The results showed that the nasal administration of trans-sialidase (TS) plus c-di-AMP (TS+A) vaccine elicited a NALT expression of IFN-\u03b3, IL-17a and IL-4 mRNA as well as a nasal-specific production of IgA. An in vivo challenge with TS also triggered increased proliferation of lymphocytes from the NALT, sentinel cervical lymph node, and spleen. TS+A immunization increased the plasma levels of Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines and elicited an evident cellular response by which to judge enhanced delayed-type hypersensitivity responses following a TS footpad challenge. After oral infection, TS+A-vaccinated mice showed significantly reduced parasitemia and parasite load in the heart, muscles and intestines, while markers of hepatic and muscle damage as well as clinical manifestations of acute infection were strongly diminished. TS+A also attenuated acute myocarditis and the expression of inflammatory markers in the heart. The protection conferred by TS+A extended into the chronic phase, where it resulted in a clear reduction in chronic myocarditis, fibrosis and functional electrocardiographic abnormalities, associated with a decreased expression of the pro-fibrotic TGF-\u03b2. These results revealed that it is possible to develop a mucosal vaccine against T. cruzi based on TS and c-di-AMP that is capable of reducing the development of Chagas cardiomyopathy, the hallmark of Chagas disease.",

Intranasal immunization has emerged as a more effective method of inducing local immune responses against cancer cells in the lungs. An innovative layered double hydroxide- and 5-OP-RU-based\u00a0mRNA nanovaccine (Mg/Al LDH-5-OP-RU/mRNA) was synthesized via coprecipitation. The particle size distribution and zeta potential were measured, and the nanovaccine was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The functions and properties of the nanovaccine were evaluated via an mRNA-targeted delivery assay and measurement of dendritic cell (DC) and mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cell maturation and activation. In addition, the cytotoxicity, antigen-specific T cell activation, cytokines, protective ability, and therapeutic ability of the nanovaccine were assessed in a mouse tumor model. Further, the immune cell composition was evaluated in tumors. The Mg/Al LDH-5-OP-RU/mRNA nanovaccine was efficiently\u00a0delivered into lung-draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs), and it activated dendritic cells (DCs) and mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells after intranasal administration.

Providing successful noninvasive treatments for these diseases is challenging because of the presence of the blood-brain barrier. While protecting the brain's homeostasis, the barrier limits the passage of almost all large-molecule drugs and most small-molecule drugs. A noninvasive method, nose-to-brain delivery (N2B delivery) has been proposed to overcome this challenge. By exploiting the direct anatomical interaction between the nose and the brain, the drugs can reach the target, the brain. Moreover, the drugs can be encapsulated into various drug delivery systems to enhance physicochemical characteristics and targeting success. Many preclinical data show that this strategy can effectively deliver biopharmaceuticals to the brain. Therefore, this review focuses on N2B delivery while giving examples of different drug delivery systems suitable for the applications. In addition, we emphasize the importance of the effective delivery of monoclonal antibodies and RNA and stress the recent literature tackling this challenge.

In the current study, we developed a protein-based intranasal vaccine comprising the XBB.1.5 receptor binding domain (RBD)-derived trimeric recombinant protein (RBDXBB.1.5-HR) and an MF59-like oil-in-water adjuvant. Intranasal administration of RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine elicited robust and sustained humoral immune responses in mice and rats, resulting in high levels of neutralizing antibodies against XBB-lineage subvariants, with protection lasting for at least six months. The intranasal RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine generated potent mucosal immune responses, characterized by the inductions of tissue-resident T (TRM) cells, local cellular immunity, germinal center, and memory B cell responses in the respiratory tract. The combination of intramuscular and intranasal delivery of the RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine demonstrated exceptional systemic and mucosal protective immunity. Furthermore, intranasal delivery of RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine as a heterologous booster shot showed more effective boosting effects after mRNA administration compared to homologous vaccination, as evidenced by the induction of superior systemic and extra mucosal immune response. Importantly, the intranasal RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine conferred efficient protection against the challenge with authentic EG.5.1 viruses in vivo. These findings identify the intranasal RBDXBB.1.5-HR vaccine as a potential mucosal vaccine candidate for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection.",

Chinese herbal medicines (CHM) have a long history of using plant-based remedies to treat and prevent human diseases. Chinese herbal medicine-derived extracellular vesicle (CHMEV) generic term refers to nanoscale membrane structures isolated from medicinal plants such as ginseng, ginger, and Panax notoginseng. In recent years, CHMEVs have garnered substantial attention as a novel class of functional components due to their high bioavailability, safety, easy accessibility, and diverse therapeutic effects, indicating their great potential for development as a new dosage form of CHM. Research on CHMEVs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has become a prominent area of interest, opening new avenues for further exploration into the therapeutic effects and functional mechanisms of CHM. Nonetheless, as an emerging field, there is much unknown about these vesicles, and current research remains inconsistent. The review comprehensively summarizes the biogenesis, isolation methods, and physical, and biochemical characterizations of CHMEVs. Additionally, we highlight their biomedical applications as therapeutic agents and drug delivery carriers, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, regenerative, and antiaging activities. Finally, we propose current challenges and future perspectives. By summarizing the existing literature, we aim to offer valuable clues and inspiration for future CHMEV research, thereby facilitating research standardization of CHMEVs in the treatment of human diseases and drug discovery.",

This approach has several advantages, including avoidance of first-pass metabolism, high bioavailability, ease of administration, and improved patient compliance. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have been conducted using drugs encapsulated in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), and delivering them to the brain via the IN pathway. SLNs are the first-generation solid lipid nanocarriers, known for their excellent biocompatibility, high drug-loading capacity, and remarkable stability. NLCs, regarded as the second-generation SLNs, not only retain the advantages of SLNs but also exhibit enhanced stability, effectively preventing drug leakage during storage. In this review, we examined in vivo studies conducted between 2019 and 2024 that used SLNs and NLCs to address CNS disorders via the IN route. By using statistical methods to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters, we found that IN delivery of SLNs and NLCs markedly enhanced drug accumulation and targeting within the brain. Additionally, pharmacodynamic evaluations indicated that this delivery method substantially improved the therapeutic effectiveness of the drugs in alleviating symptoms in rat models of CNS diseases. In addition, methods for enhancing the efficacy of nose-to-brain delivery of SLNs and NLCs are discussed, as well as advances in clinical trials regarding SLNs and NLCs. Traditional drug administration routes for the treatment of central nervous system diseases have many limitations due to the existence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The intranasal drug administration route crosses the BBB through intra-neuronal pathways as well as extra-neuronal pathways and delivers drugs directly to the brain. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are a type of nanoparticles whose surface is covered by amphoteric surfactants and whose interior is filled with a lipid core. They have the advantages of good biocompatibility, strong drug loading capacity, and strong stability, and can be obtained through a variety of reliable preparation methods. Encapsulating therapeutic drugs into SLNs and NLCs for intranasal delivery can significantly increase drug delivery efficiency and enhance efficacy. In addition, there are various ways to further enhance drug delivery of SLNs and NLCs, such as using gel systems such as chitosan to encapsulate the nanoparticles, piggybacking cell-penetrating peptides onto the surface of the nanoparticles, and modifying the nanoparticles, surface charge of particles, etc.",

However, some tau tracers exhibit off-target binding in the basal ganglia, choroid plexus, and meninges. Recently, transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) was identified to form novel amyloid filaments in the brain during aging. In this study, we explored the possibility that TMEM106B aggregates might be responsible for off-target binding of tau PET tracers in the choroid plexus. The binding properties of 18F-labeled tau and amyloid tracers against choroid plexus tissues from postmortem human brains were evaluated through in vitro autoradiography and in vitro binding assays and compared with histochemical staining. Autoradiography showed strong binding of [18F]PM-PBB3 followed by [18F]flortaucipir in the choroid plexus. Immunostaining of the same sections revealed a high level of transmembrane protein 106B aggregates, which are thioflavin-S-labeled Biondi ring structures, in the choroid plexus epithelium and co-localization with PM-PBB3-stained structures. In contrast, co-localization of flortaucipir with TMEM106B immunoreactivity was not confirmed because flortaucipir had a low fluorescence intensity. In vitro binding assays for [18F]PM-PBB3 and [18F]flortaucipir demonstrated high affinities for collagenase A-treated choroid plexus homogenate containing transmembrane protein 106B aggregates. This study demonstrated high affinity of [18F]PM-PBB3 for TMEM106B aggregates in the choroid plexus. In vivo off-target binding of [18F]PM-PBB3 to the choroid plexus might result from binding to TMEM106B aggregates.",

However, the trauma caused by brain injection and susceptibility to degradation limit its application. Methods: To overcome these challenges, we constructed engineered extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC-EVs) loaded with miR-206-3p antagomir (MSC-EVs-anta) by electroporation technology, and explored the therapeutic effects of MSC-EVs-anta delivered by intranasal administration on AD mice. Transcriptome sequencing and LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis were employed to disclose the mechanism underlying the attenuation of AD phenotypes by MSC-EVs-anta. Results: MSC-EVs-anta had favorable neuroprotection by promoting neurite outgrowth in vitro. Following intranasal administration, MSC-EVs-anta improved learning and memory deficits, promoted hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, and alleviated A\u03b2 deposition. Compared with MSC-EVs or miR-206-3p antagomir alone, MSC-EVs-anta showed superior therapeutic effects. Mechanistically, MSC-EVs-anta significantly upregulated brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in AD mice, and activated the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway. The data from two-omics analyses demonstrated that the differentially expressed proteins and genes significantly regulated by MSC-EVs-anta were primarily enriched in the pathways involved in neurogenesis and synapse. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the intranasal administration of MSC-EVs-anta as a promising strategy for the treatment of AD.",

There is extensive central nervous system and retinal degeneration, resulting in seizures, vision loss and a progressive cognitive and motor decline. Enzyme replacement and gene therapies are being developed, and mRNA and oligonucleotide therapies are more recently being considered. Overcoming the challenges of the blood-brain barrier and blood-ocular barrier is crucial for effectively targeting the brain and eye, whatever the therapeutic approach. Nanoparticles and extracellular vesicles are small carriers that can encapsulate a cargo and pass through these cell barriers. They have been investigated as drug carriers for other pathologies and could be a promising treatment strategy for Batten disease. Their use in gene, enzyme, or mRNA replacement therapy of all lysosomal storage disorders, including Mucopolysaccharidoses, Niemann-Pick diseases, and Fabry disease, is investigated in this systematic review. Different nanocarriers can efficiently target the lysosome and cross the barriers into the brain and eyes.

The luminal domain of TMEM106B can form amyloid-like fibrils upon proteolysis. Whether this luminal domain is generated under physiological conditions and which protease(s) are involved in shedding remain unclear. We developed a commercially available antibody against the luminal domain of TMEM106B, allowing a detailed survey of the proteolytic processing under physiological conditions in cellular models and TMEM106B-related mouse models. Moreover, fibrillary TMEM106B was detected in human autopsy material. We find that the luminal domain is generated by multiple lysosomal cysteine-type proteases. Cysteine-type proteases perform additional C-terminal trimming, for which experimental evidence has been lacking. The presented results allow an in-depth perception of the processing of TMEM106B, a prerequisite to understanding factors leading to fibril formation.",

The C-terminal (CT) domain of TMEM106B occurs as fibrillar protein deposits in the brains of dementia patients. To determine the TMEM CT aggregation propensity and neurodegenerative potential, we generated transgenic\u00a0Caenorhabditis elegans\u00a0expressing the human TMEM CT fragment aggregating in FTLD cases. Pan-neuronal expression of human TMEM CT in\u00a0C. elegans\u00a0causes severe neuronal dysfunction driving neurodegeneration.\u00a0 Cytosolic aggregation of TMEM CT proteins accompanied by behavioral dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Loss of\u00a0pgrn-1\u00a0did not modify TMEM CT phenotypes suggesting TMEM CT aggregation occurs downstream of PGRN loss of function. The mechanistic drivers of TMEM106B proteinopathy appear distinct from known modifiers of tauopathy. Our data demonstrate that TMEM CT aggregation can kill neurons. TMEM106B transgenic\u00a0C.elegans\u00a0provide a useful model for characterizing TMEM106B proteinopathy-mediated neurodegeneration in FTLD. Pan-neuronal expression of human TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (TMEM CT) in C. elegans neurons drives a suite of disease-related phenotypes useful for modeling the molecular and cellular features of TMEM106B neuropathology. TMEM CT expression results in extensive TMEM aggregation and accumulation of highly detergent insoluble protein species. TMEM CT expression causes moderate to severe neuronal dysfunction dependent on TMEM CT abundance as measured by stereotypical behavioral readouts. TMEM CT expression drives significant neurodegenerative changes. Dendra2 tagged TMEM exhibits similar properties to untagged TMEM allowing ready visualization of the protein. TMEM CT aggregates accumulate adjacent to but not within lysosomes. PGRN loss of function does not impact TMEM CT toxicity. Modifiers of tau and TDP-43 proteinopathies have little impact on TMEM CT-related neurodegenerative phenotypes.",

We hypothesized that cargo proteins carried by extracellular vesicles (EVs) released in a hypoxic microenvironment might promote HCC progression by remodeling tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). EV protein analysis by label-free proteomics mass spectrometry of HCC cell lines of different tumor grades was performed. The promotional effect if spermidine synthase\uff08SRM\uff09 on M2 polarized TAMs was further investigated using various biological approaches. SRM expression was positively correlated with liver cancer progression in HCC cell lines, liver cancer samples, and nude mouse models. In a mouse model, SRM expression was positively correlated with TAM infiltration and liver cancer progression. Pan-cancer dataset analysis confirmed that SRM overexpression in HCC tumors is correlated with poor patient prognosis. However, a hypoxic microenvironment is an internal driving factor for exosomal SRM that participates in microenvironmental modifications. Moreover, we defined a hitherto unknown pattern of microenvironmental crosstalk involving SRM in EVs, whereby macrophages complete the phenotypic fate of M2 tumor-associated macrophages through SRM uptake. SRM regulation within the immune microenvironment is metabolically driven. By upregulating spermidine, which serves as a substrate for eIF5A hypusination, excessive oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) assembly is achieved. This, in turn, leads to the expression of immunosuppressive marker molecules and ultimately promotes liver cancer progression. SRM, which is enriched in the EVs of HCC cells under hypoxic conditions, acts as a potent regulator linking polyamine and energy metabolism in TAMs, thereby promoting liver cancer progression.",
        "39813130": "ID: 39813130\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of a Ghrelin Mimetic Engages the Brain Ghrelin Signaling System in Mice.\nAbstract: Ghrelin, the endogenous ligand of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), promotes food intake and other feeding behaviors, and stimulates growth hormone (GH) release from the pituitary. Growth hormone secretagogues (GHS), such as GHRP-6 and MK-0677, are synthetic GHSR ligands that activate orexigenic neuropeptide Y neurons that coexpress agouti-related peptide (AgRP) in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus when administered systemically. Systemic GHRP-6 also stimulates GH release in humans and rats. Thus, GHS and ghrelin have therapeutic relevance in patients who could benefit from its orexigenic and/or GH-releasing effects. This study examined whether intranasal delivery of ghrelin, GHRP-6, or MK-0677 engages the brain ghrelin signaling system. Effective compounds and doses were selected based on increased food intake after intranasal application in mice. Only GHRP-6 (5\u2005mg/kg) increased food intake without adverse effects, prompting detailed analysis of meal patterns, neuronal activation in the arcuate nucleus (via Fos mapping) and neurochemical identification of c-fos messenger RNA (mRNA)-expressing neurons using RNAscope. We also assessed the effect of intranasal GHRP-6 on serum GH levels. Intranasal GHRP-6 increased food intake by increasing meal frequency and size. Fos expression in the arcuate nucleus was higher in GHRP-6-treated mice than in saline controls. When examining the neurochemical identity of c-fos-mRNA-expressing neurons, we found coexpression with 63.5 \u00b1 1.9% Ghsr mRNA, 79 \u00b1 6.8% Agrp mRNA, and 11.4 \u00b1 2.5% Ghrh mRNA, demonstrating GHRP-6's ability to engage arcuate nucleus neurons involved in food intake and GH release. Additionally, intranasal GHRP-6 elevated GH serum levels. These findings suggest that intranasal GHRP-6, but not ghrelin or MK-0677, can engage the brain ghrelin signaling system.",

Proinflammatory cytokines during neuroinflammation decrease insulin sensitivity by suppressing insulin signaling elements. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), the main receptor involved in neuroinflammation, is also associated with the pathogenesis of PD. The present study evaluated the effect of insulin, an insulin receptor antagonist, and a TLR4 inhibitor on behavioral deficits and insulin resistance induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Male Wistar rats were divided into nine groups: (1) sham (normal saline [NS] in the medial forebrain bundle [MFB]); (2) 6-OHDA (20 \u00b5g in the MFB); (3) 6-OHDA + NS; (4) 6-OHDA + dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); (5) 6-OHDA + insulin (2.5 IU/day, intracerebroventricular ([ICV]); (6) 6-OHDA + insulin (5 IU/day, intranasal [IN]); (7) 6-OHDA + insulin receptor antagonist (S961; 6.5 nM/kg, ICV); (8) 6-OHDA + TLR4 inhibitor (TAK242; 0.01 \u00b5g/rat, ICV); (9) 6-OHDA + insulin + TLR4 inhibitor. All treatments were administered for seven consecutive days. Motor performance was evaluated using apomorphine-induced rotation and cylinder tests. Gene expression and protein levels of \u03b1-synuclein, TLR4, insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 1, IRS2, and glycogen synthase kinase 3\u03b2 (GSK3\u03b2) were measured by real-time PCR and western blotting, respectively, in the striatum. Insulin, alone and with TAK242, improved motor deficits induced by 6-OHDA. Administration of the insulin receptor antagonist had no effect on motor deficits. The increased expression of \u03b1-synuclein and TLR4 following 6-OHDA was attenuated by insulin and TAK242. GSK3\u03b2 levels, both mRNA and protein, were significantly increased by 6-OHDA and attenuated with insulin and TAK242. The findings suggest that 6-OHDA induces neurodegeneration via activation of TLR4 and GSK3\u03b2, indicating insulin resistance, and that insulin can improve these impairments. Moreover, TLR4 inhibition prevents insulin signaling dysfunction and improves behavioral and molecular impairments, highlighting the critical role of TLR4 in the development of insulin resistance in PD pathology.",

Yet, there's a dearth of advanced, localized drug delivery systems ensuring active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) efficacy in cerebral protection during ischemia-reperfusion. This study introduces a multivalent bioadhesive nanoparticle-cluster, merging bioadhesive nanoparticles (BNPs) with dendritic polyamidoamine (PAMAM), enhancing nose-to-brain delivery and brain protection efficacy against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries (CIRI). The BNPs-PAMAM cluster exhibits superior adhesion within the rat nasal cavity, prolonged retention, enabling sustained drug release, cerebral transportation, and accumulation, resulting in enhanced intracerebral pharmacokinetic profile. Intranasal administration circumvents systemic delivery challenges, ensuring CIRI protection drugs reach ischemic areas pre-reperfusion, overcoming thrombus-related delays. Administering BNPs-PAMAM loaded with dexmedetomidine (DEX) pre-reperfusion effectively prevents neuron apoptosis by \u03b12-adrenoceptor activation, modulating the ischemic microenvironment, exerting triple neuroprotective effects against cerebral reperfusion injury. Importantly, only therapeutic DEX releases and accumulates in the nasal cavity, averting brain nanomaterial toxicity, promising for repeat administrations. This study presents a translational platform for nasal-to-brain drug delivery in CNS disease treatment. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Innovative Drug Delivery System: This study introduces a multivalent bioadhesive nanoparticle-cluster (BNPs-PAMAM) to enhance nasal-to-brain drug delivery for cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) treatment. Enhanced Retention and Efficacy: The BNPs-PAMAM system significantly improves drug retention in the nasal cavity and ensures sustained release, thereby enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of the neuroprotective agent dexmedetomidine (DEX). Blood-Brain Barrier Circumvention: By leveraging intranasal administration, the system bypasses the blood-brain barrier, delivering DEX directly to ischemic brain regions before reperfusion and minimizing systemic side effects. Triple Neuroprotective Effects for CIRI protection: DEX delivered via BNPs-PAMAM effectively reduces oxidative stress and inflammation while enhancing mitochondrial autophagy, providing comprehensive protection against neuronal damage.",

GNEV was isolated from ginseng non-edible callus using sequential filtration and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The extracellular vesicle was characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). HDF was treated with various concentrations of GNEV, and cell viability, proliferation, and migration were assessed using MTT and scratch wound healing assays. Gene expression related to collagen synthesis (TGF-\u03b2, SMAD-2, SMAD-3, COL1A1) was measured using RT-PCR. Treatment of HDF with GNEV resulted in a significant 2.5-fold increase in cell migration compared to the non-treated group. Furthermore, GNEV demonstrated the upregulation of collagen synthesis genes, specifically TGF-\u03b2, SMAD-2, SMAD-3, and COL1A1, by 41.7\u00a0%, 59.4\u00a0%, 60.2\u00a0%, and 21.8\u00a0%, respectively. These findings indicated that GNEV activates the TGF-\u03b2/SMAD signaling pathway, showcasing its potential to induce skin regeneration. In conclusion, GNEV exhibits a notable ability to enhance skin regeneration through its stimulatory effects on cell migration and the upregulation of key collagen synthesis genes. The activation of the TGF-\u03b2/SMAD signaling pathway further suggests the potential of GNEV as a promising candidate for drug delivery systems in the fields of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, opening avenues for further research and application in skincare and dermatology.",

While the specifics of when and where TMEM106B fibrils accumulate in human brains, as well as their connection to aging and disease progression, remain poorly understood. Here, we identified an antibody (NBP1-91311) that directly binds to TMEM106B fibrils extracted from the brain in vitro and to Thioflavin S-positive TMEM106B fibrillar aggregates in brain sections. We discovered that TMEM106B fibrils deposit in the human brain in an age-dependent manner. Notably, the TMEM106B fibril load in the brains of Parkinson's disease with dementia patients was significantly higher than in age-matched elders. Additionally, we found that TMEM106B fibrils predominantly accumulate in astrocytes and neurons and do not co-localize with the pathological deposition formed by other amyloid proteins such as \u03b1-synuclein, A\u03b2, and Tau. Our work provides a comprehensive analysis of the burden and cellular distribution of TMEM106B fibrils in human brains, underscoring the impact of both aging and disease conditions on TMEM106B fibril deposition.

However, the development of nasal mRNA vaccines has been hampered by the lack of effective means to overcome the mucus barrier. Herein, ionizable lipid-incorporated liquid lipid nanoparticles (iLLNs) capable of delivering mRNA cargo across airway mucosa are designed. Adjusting the ratios of ionizable and cationic lipids allows fine-tuning of the pKa of iLLNs to the range of nasal mucosal pH (5.5-6.5), thus facilitating mucus penetration via the formation of near-neutral, PEGylated muco-inert surfaces. When nasally administered to mice, the top candidate iLLN-2/mRNA complexes enable about 60-fold greater reporter gene expression in the nasal cavity, compared to the benchmark mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (ALC-LNP) having the same lipid composition as that of BNT162b2 vaccine. Moreover, a prime-boost intranasal immunization of iLLN-2/mRNA complexes elicits a greater magnitude of SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific mucosal IgA and IgG response than ALC-LNP, without triggering any noticeable inflammatory reactions. Taken together, these results provide useful insights for the design of nasally deliverable mRNA formulations for prophylactic applications.",

Repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation is one of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying repeat expansion disorders, but the exact molecular mechanism underlying RAN translation remains unclear. Polyamines are ubiquitous biogenic amines that are essential for cell proliferation and cellular functions. They are predominantly found in cells in complexes with RNA and influence many cellular events, but the relationship between polyamines and RAN translation is yet to be explored. Here, we show that, in both a cell-free protein synthesis system and cell culture, polyamines promote RAN translation of RNA-containing CCUG repeats. The CCUG-dependent RAN translation is suppressed when cells are depleted of polyamines but can be recovered by the addition of polyamines. Thermal stability analysis revealed that the tertiary structure of the CCUG-repeat RNA is stabilized by the polyamines. Spermine was the most effective polyamine for stabilizing CCUG-repeat RNA and enhancing RAN translation. These results suggest that polyamines, particularly spermine, modulate RAN translation of CCUG-repeat RNA by stabilizing the tertiary structure of the repeat RNA.",

In the current study, we prepared paclitaxel (PTX)\u00a0loaded ascorbic acid (AA) conjugated polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles (NPs) for intranasal administration. Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) were prepared using the solvent evaporation method, which was further analyzed for particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), surface charge, encapsulation-efficiency (EE), drug loading (DL), surface morphology, in-vitro drug release, and in-vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation. Results showed the optimized PTX-PNPs showed particle size 114.7\u2009\u00b1\u20092.96\u00a0nm, zeta potential -27.6\u2009\u00b1\u20091.63\u00a0mV, with entrapment efficiency 97.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.41%, and drug loading 35.3\u2009\u00b1\u20090.38%.

An in-vivo pharmacokinetic study showed a 5.6-fold increase in the PTX concentration reaching to the brain. Histopathological results of the nasal mucosa showed minimal alteration after 72\u00a0h of administering surface-modified paclitaxel loaded polymeric nanoparticles (AA-PTX-PNPs). Thus, this study highlighted the suitability of a AA-PTX-PNPs as a promising strategy for intranasal administration therapy for various brain disorders.",

However, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we explore the role of the small molecular chaperone HSPB1 in counteracting neurodegeneration induced by poly-glycine (poly-G) aggregates. Employing a reporter system, we demonstrate that CGG repeat expansions within the 5'-UTR of the GIPC1 gene produce poly-G proteins, by repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. Through proximity labeling and subsequent mass spectrometry analysis, we characterize the composition of poly-G insoluble aggregates and reveal that these aggregates sequester key macroautophagy/autophagy receptors, SQSTM1/p62 and TOLLIP. This sequestration disrupts MAP1LC3/LC3 recruitment and impairs autophagosome formation, thereby compromising the autophagic pathway. Importantly, we show that HSPB1 facilitates the dissociation of these receptors from poly-G aggregates and consequently restores autophagic function. Overexpressing HSPB1 alleviates poly-G-induced neurodegeneration in mouse models. Taken together, these findings highlight a mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective effects of HSPB1 and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target in treating poly-G-associated neurodegenerative diseases.Abbreviations: AD: Alzheimer disease; AIF1/Iba1: allograft inflammatory factor 1; Baf A1: bafilomycin A1; BFP: blue fluorescent protein; CQ: chloroquine; EIF2A/eIF-2\u03b1: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2A; FRAP: fluorescence recovery after photobleaching; GAPDH: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; GFAP: glial fibrillary acidic protein; GFP: green fluorescent protein; HSPB1: heat shock protein family B (small) member 1; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; NOTCH2NLC: notch 2 N-terminal like C; PD: Parkinson disease; PFA: paraformaldehyde; poly-A: poly-alanine; poly-G: poly-glycine; poly-R: poly-arginine; RAN translation: repeat-associated non-AUG translation; RBFOX3/NeuN: RNA binding fox-1\u00a0homolog 3; STED: stimulated emission depletion; TARDBP/TDP-43: TAR DNA binding protein; TG: thapsigargin; TOLLIP: toll interacting protein.",

The most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders (NDs), such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) are distinguished by the prevalence of proteinopathy, aberrant glial cell activation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, defective autophagy, cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic changes, neurogenesis suppression, increased blood-brain barrier permeability, and intestinal dysbiosis that is excessive for the patient's age. Substantial body studies have documented a close relationship between gut microbiota and AD, and restoring a healthy gut microbiota may reduce or even ameliorate AD symptoms and progression. Thus, control of the microbiota in the gut has become an innovative model for clinical management of AD, and rising emphasis is focused on finding new techniques for preventing and/or managing the disease. The etiopathogenesis of gut microbiota in driving AD progression and supplementing postbiotics as a preventive and therapeutic treatment for AD is discussed. The review additionally discusses the use of postbiotics in AD prophylaxis and therapy, portraying them as substances that address senescence-triggered dysfunctions and are worthy of translating from bench to biopharmaceutical market in response to \"silver consumers\" needs. The current review examines and evaluates the impact of postbiotics as whole and specific metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), lactate, polyamines, polyphenols, tryptophan metabolites, exopolysaccharides, and bacterial extracellular vesicles, on the aging-associated processes that reinforce AD. Moreover, it provides an overview of the most recent data from both clinical and preclinical research involving the use of postbiotics in AD.",

Transcripts with repeat expansions undergo noncanonical translation called repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. The NOP56 gene, implicated in SCA36, contains a GGCCTG repeat in its first intron. In tissues of patients with SCA36, poly (Gly-Pro) and poly (Pro-Arg) peptides, likely produced through NOP56 RAN translation in (NOP56-RAN), have been detected. However, the detailed mechanism underlying NOP56-RAN remains unclear. To address this, we used cell-free translation systems to investigate the mechanism of NOP56-RAN and identified the following features. (i) Translation occurs in all reading frames of the sense strand of NOP56 intron 1. (ii) Translation is initiated in a 5' cap-dependent manner from near-cognate start codons upstream of the GGCCUG repeat in each frame. (iii) Longer GGCCUG repeats enhance NOP56-RAN. (iv) A frameshift occurs within the GGCCUG repeat. These findings provide insights into the similarities between NOP56-RAN and other types of RAN translation.",

This study explored the therapeutic potential of lithium salt dissolved in Ryanodex formulation vehicle (RFV) and delivered to the brain by intranasal application. We first compared lithium concentrations in the brain and blood of wild-type mice following intranasal or oral administration of lithium chloride (LiCl) dissolved in either RFV or water. The beneficial and side effects of intranasal versus oral LiCl in RFV in these mice were assessed and potential mechanisms underlying the efficacy of anti-inflammation and anti-pyroptosis in the brains were also investigated in both wild-type and 5XFAD Alzheimer's Disease (AD) mice brains. For the study of brain versus blood lithium concentrations, wild-type (WT) B6SJLF1/J mice at 2\u00a0months of age were treated with intranasal or oral LiCl (3\u00a0mmol/kg) dissolved in RFV or in water. Brain and blood lithium concentrations were measured at various times after drugs administration. Brain/blood lithium concentration ratios were then determined. For studying therapeutic efficacy versus side effects and their underlying mechanisms, 5XFAD and WT B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with intranasal LiCl (3\u00a0mmol/kg) daily, Monday to Friday each week, in RFV beginning at 2 or 9\u00a0months of age with a 12-week treatment duration. Animal behaviors were assessed for depression (tail suspension), cognition (fear conditioning and Y maze), olfaction (buried food test), and motor functions (rotarod) at the age of 5 and 12\u00a0months. Blood and brain tissue were harvested from these mice at 13\u00a0months. Blood biomarkers for the functions of thyroid (thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH) and kidney (creatinine) were measured using ELISA. Changes in protein expression levels of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ release channels type 1 InsP3 receptors (InsP3R-1), malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified proteins and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), pyroptosis regulatory proteins (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal of Gasdermin D (GSDMD)), cytotoxic (IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) and cytoprotective (IL-10) cytokines and synapse proteins (PSD-95, synapsin-1) were determined using immunoblotting. Mouse body weights were monitored regularly. Compared to oral LiCl in RFV nanoparticles, intranasal treatment of WT mice with LiCl in RFV markedly decreased blood concentrations at the time range of 30-120\u00a0min. The ratio of brain/blood lithium concentration after intranasal lithium chloride in RFV significantly increased, in comparison to those after oral administration lithium chloride in RFV or intranasal administration of lithium chloride in water. Intranasal lithium chloride in RFV inhibited both memory loss and depressive behavior in adult and aged 5XFAD mice. Additionally intranasal treatment of aged 5XFAD mice with LiCl in RFV effectively suppressed the increases in InsP3R-1, intracellular oxidative stress markers (4-HNE-bound and MDA-modified proteins), pyroptosis activation proteins (NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, N-terminal GSDMD) and cytotoxic cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, TNF-\u03b1), but reversed the down-regulation of cytoprotective cytokine IL-10. Intranasal LiCl in RFV also alleviated the loss of the postsynaptic synapse proteins PSD-95, but not synapsin-1, in aged 5XFAD mice. Blood level of the kidney function marker creatinine was significantly increased in 5XFAD than in WT mice in an age-dependent manner and this elevation was abolished by intranasal delivery of LiCl in RFV. Intranasal LiCl in RFV for 12\u00a0weeks in both WT or 5XFAD mice did not affect blood biomarkers for thyroid function, nor did it affect smell or muscle function or body weight. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV significantly decreased lithium blood concentrations and increased brain/blood lithium concentration ratio, in comparison to its oral administration. Intranasal administration of LiCl in RFV robustly protected against both memory loss and depressive-like behavior, while had no side effects concerning thyroid and kidney toxicity in 5XFAD mice. These lithium-induced beneficial effects were strongly associated with lithium's suppression of InsP3R-1 Ca2+ channel receptor increase, pathological neuroinflammation and activation of the pyroptosis pathway, as well as the loss of the synaptic protein PSD-95. Intranasal delivery of lithium salt in RFV could become an effective and potent inhibitor of pathological inflammation/pyroptosis in the CNS and serve as a new treatment for both AD-associated dementia and depression with minimal unwanted side effects including peripheral organ toxicity.",

There is increasing evidence indicating that apolipoprotein E (ApoE) can be a potential candidate for the treatment of ischemic stroke. A short ApoE peptide could maintain the anti-inflammation and neuroprotection of the intact protein. Herein, we synthetized a novel ApoE memetic peptide, referred to as CS15, and explored its efficacy and neuroprotection of its innovative formulation of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) in transient focal ischemia in rat. We examined anti-inflammatory activities of CS15 using LPS-induced inflammatory response in BV2 cells and in mice. GNPs were prepared by citrate reduction method and surface modified with CS15 to generate CS15-coated GNPs (CS15-GNPs). The accumulation and distribution of CS15-GNPs in the brain were confirmed by detecting the gold amount and fluorescent intensity. The neuroprotection of CS15 and CS15-GNPs was evaluate using middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. The results showed that CS15 exhibited more potent anti-inflammation than COG1410. GNPs are capable of transporting CS15 to the brain, expanding its duration of action. Intranasal administration of CS15-GNPs notably reduced infarct size and neuronal damage, improved neurological function and inhibited cerebral inflammation in transient focal ischemia in rat, which had much higher efficiency than free CS15. CS15-GNPs exhibited favorable neuroprotection and biosafety. This study develops an innovative ApoE-mimetic peptide-capped GNPs, which provides a potential strategy for the treatment of ischemic stroke.",

Since influenza viruses undergo antigenic evolution, they are the pathogens most likely to trigger a new pandemic shortly. Intranasal vaccination offers a promising strategy for preventing diseases triggered by respiratory viruses by eliciting an immunoglobulin A (IgA) response, limiting virus replication and transmission from the respiratory tract more efficiently than intramuscular vaccines. Combining intranasal administration and mRNA-lipid nanoparticles can be an ideal strategy for limiting the extent of the next flu pandemic. This study explored the immunogenicity of intranasally delivered mRNA encapsulated in mannose-histidine-conjugated chitosan lipid nanoparticles (MHCS-LNPs) as a vaccine against influenza A (H1N1) in BALB/c mice. Intranasal administration of mRNA-MHCS-LNPs resulted in the generation of influenza A (H1N1) hemagglutinin-specific neutralizing antibodies in vaccinated animals. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) results indicated a notable increase in the quantity of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA antibodies in serum and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), respectively, and exhibited influenza A-specific IFN-\u03b3 secretion in vaccinated mice, as well as a noticeable alteration in IL-5 production. Overall, this study demonstrated an effective immunogenic response against respiratory viral infections through intranasal delivery of an mRNA-MHCS-LNP vaccine.",

The decline in motor functions occurs due to a progressive loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons, resulting in lowered dopamine levels and impaired muscle function. Studies show defective mitochondrial autophagy (or \"mitophagy\") links to PD. Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinases (ROCK) 1 and ROCK2 are serine/threonine kinases, and their inhibition can enhance neuroprotection in PD by promoting mitophagy. Methods: We examine the effects of ROCK inhibitor SR3677, delivered via macrophage-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) to Parkin Q311X(A) PD mouse models. sEVs with SR3677, administered intranasally, increased mitophagy gene expression, reduced inflammatory factors, and elevated dopamine levels in brain tissues. Results: ROCK2 expression decreased, showing the drug's inhibitory effect. sEV-SR3677 treatment was more effective than treatment with the drug alone, although sham EVs showed lower effects. This suggests that EV-SR3677 not only activates mitochondrial processes but also promotes the degradation of damaged mitochondria through autophagy. Mitochondrial functional assays and oxygen consumption in ex vivo glial cultures revealed that sEV-SR3677 significantly improved mitochondrial respiration compared to that in untreated or SR3677-only treated cells. Conclusion: We demonstrated the efficacy of ROCK2 inhibition on mitochondrial function via sEV-SR3677 in the PD mouse model, necessitating further studies to explore design challenges and mechanisms of sEV-SR3677 as mitochondria-targeted therapy for PD.",

The therapeutic efficacy of existing treatments is significantly hampered by the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), tumor heterogeneity, and intrinsic drug resistance mechanisms. Temozolomide (TMZ), the standard chemotherapeutic agent for GBM, suffers from low bioavailability, rapid systemic clearance, and enzymatic degradation, limiting its clinical success. This review highlights the potential of self-assembled nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems for enhancing the therapeutic index of TMZ through intranasal administration, which provides a direct and non-invasive route to the brain, circumventing the BBB and improving central nervous system (CNS) drug bioavailability. Self-assembled systems are highly customizable, allowing for precise control over particle size, surface charge, and release profiles, which can be tailored to improve the penetration and retention of TMZ in the brain. We comprehensively discuss recent advancements in polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles, niosomes, and solid lipid nanoparticles, emphasizing their physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, and mechanisms of targeted drug release. Additionally, we explore molecular and oxidative stress-related pathways contributing to GBM progression and TMZ resistance. Emerging research suggests that nanocarrier-based intranasal delivery of TMZ enhances drug stability, prolongs brain retention time, and minimizes systemic toxicity, offering a promising avenue for improving GBM treatment outcomes.",

In this study, we prepared small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from immortalised mesenchymal stem cells overexpressing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and evaluated whether intranasal administration of BDNF-sEVs is a therapeutic option for acute SCI. In cultured neurons, BDNF loading enhanced neurite outgrowth promoted by sEVs. After intranasal administration, mCherry-labelled sEVs were transported to the injured spinal cords of rats and monkeys and mainly taken up by neurons. In acute SCI rats, intranasal administration of sEVs and BDNF-sEVs reduced glial responses and proinflammatory cytokine production, enhanced neuronal survival and angiogenesis in the lesion, promoted injured axon rewiring, delayed lumbar spinal motoneuron atrophy below the lesion, and improved functional performance. The rats receiving BDNF-sEV treatment showed improved neural repair and functional recovery compared to those with sEV treatment. Intranasal administration of BDNF-sEVs, but not of sEVs, increased BDNF levels and phosphorylation of downstream signals in the rat-injured spinal cord samples, indicating activation of the BDNF/TrkB signalling pathway. In acute SCI monkeys, intranasal administration of BDNF-sEVs was further confirmed to inhibit glial reactivities and proinflammatory cytokine release, increasing BDNF levels in the cerebrospinal fluid, enhancing neural network rewiring of injured spinal cords and neuronal activities of the brain, and improving functional performances in behavioural tests and electrophysiological recordings. In conclusion, BDNF-sEVs play a combinatory therapeutic role of sEVs and BDNF, and intranasal administration of BDNF-sEVs is a potential option for the clinical treatment of acute SCI.",

While it protects the brain from toxins and pathogens, it also restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents, posing a significant challenge in treating CNS disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and glioblastoma. This manuscript explores the structural and functional complexity of the BBB, including the roles of tight junctions, adherens junctions, astrocytes, pericytes, and endothelial cells. It highlights the influence of drug physicochemical properties, such as lipophilicity, molecular weight, and hydrogen bonding, on BBB penetration. Current strategies to enhance drug delivery include nanotechnology-based carriers (liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, polymer-based carriers), receptor-mediated transcytosis, and cell-penetrating peptides. Emerging approaches like focused ultrasound with microbubbles, intranasal delivery, and exosome-mediated transport demonstrate significant potential for bypassing BBB constraints. Gene therapy, employing both viral and nonviral vectors, offers promise for addressing genetic CNS disorders. Despite advances, limitations, such as offtarget effects, limited delivery efficiency, and potential toxicity, remain critical barriers to clinical translation. Future research must prioritize multidisciplinary approaches integrating nanotechnology, personalized medicine, and enhanced understanding of BBB biology. Innovations in non-invasive, targeted delivery systems are essential to overcoming existing challenges and enabling effective treatment of CNS disorders. This review underscores the need for further exploration of these technologies to achieve sustained, site-specific drug delivery, thereby advancing therapeutic interventions for neurological diseases. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical interface that protects the brain but limits drug delivery, posing challenges in treating CNS disorders. Advancing multidisciplinary approaches and innovative delivery systems is essential to overcome these limitations and enable effective therapies for neurological diseases.",

While evidence from human studies suggests that the risk allele is associated with higher levels of TMEM106B, the contribution of elevated levels of TMEM106B to neurodegeneration and aging has not been assessed and it remains unclear how TMEM106B modulates disease risk. To study the effect of increased TMEM106B levels, we generated Cre-inducible transgenic mice expressing human wild-type TMEM106B. We evaluated lysosomal and neuronal health using in vitro and in vivo assays including transmission electron microscopy, immunostainings, behavioral testing, electrophysiology, and bulk RNA sequencing. We created the first transgenic mouse model that successfully overexpresses TMEM106B, with a 4- to 8-fold increase in TMEM106B protein levels in heterozygous (hTMEM106B(+)) and homozygous (hTMEM106B(++)) animals, respectively. We showed that the increase in TMEM106B protein levels induced lysosomal dysfunction and age-related downregulation of genes associated with neuronal plasticity, learning, and memory. Increased TMEM106B levels led to altered synaptic signaling in 12-month-old animals which further exhibited an anxiety-like phenotype. Finally, we observed mild neuronal loss in the hippocampus of 21-month-old animals. Characterization of the first transgenic mouse model that overexpresses TMEM106B suggests that higher levels of TMEM106B negatively impacts brain health by modifying brain aging and impairing the resilience of the brain to the pathomechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders. This novel model will be a valuable tool to study the involvement and contribution of increased TMEM106B levels to aging and will be essential to study the many age-related diseases in which TMEM106B was genetically shown to be a disease- and risk-modifier.",

The challenge, however, is to achieve delivery across the selective epithelial cell barrier. Here we report on a subunit vaccine platform, in which the antigen is genetically fused to albumin to facilitate FcRn-mediated transport across the mucosal barrier in the presence of adjuvant. Intranasal delivery in conventional and transgenic mouse models induces both systemic and mucosal antigen-specific antibody responses that protect against challenge with SARS-CoV-2 or influenza A. When benchmarked against an intramuscularly administered mRNA vaccine or an intranasally administered antigen fused to an alternative carrier of similar size, only the albumin-based intranasal vaccine yields robust mucosal IgA antibody responses. Our results thus suggest that this needle-free, albumin-based vaccine platform may be suited for vaccination against respiratory pathogens.",

The therapeutic regimen for CNS-TB follows an approach similar to that of pulmonary TB but faces significant challenges in effectively reaching the cerebrospinal fluid and achieving therapeutic drug levels in the brain and surrounding fluids. A major obstacle in CNS-TB treatment is the difficulty in permeating the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The nasal route of drug delivery offers a promising approach for targeting anti-TB drugs directly to the infection sites, enabling higher drug concentrations while bypassing the BBB. The present study focused on the development of cationic poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (CS-PLGA NPs) loaded with anti-TB drugs (ATDs), namely, isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF). These CS-PLGA NPs were then processed into dynamic microsized nanoembedded microparticles (NEMs) using spray drying. The ATD-NEMs formulation demonstrated significantly enhanced permeation across RPMI 2650 nasal septum monolayers compared with free ATDs. Intranasal delivery of the NEM formulation to TB-infected mice over a four-week period resulted in a substantial reduction in colony-forming units (CFUs) (1.53 \u00b1 0.50 log10 CFU/gram) compared to the untreated group (4.45 \u00b1 0.67 log10 CFU/gram). Furthermore, the NEM formulation showed improved recovery in histopathological analysis, consistent with CFU reduction. Preclinical data support the feasibility of intranasally administering the NEMs formulation, demonstrating high therapeutic efficacy and the potential to address brain inflammation in the murine CNS-TB model.",

Through their positive ionic charge, polyamines readily bind to ribosomes, as well as to mRNAs and tRNAs. Moreover, the polyamine spermidine serves as a substrate for the synthesis of hypusine, an essential post-translational modification on the translation factor eIF5A. Though originally thought to function in translation initiation, eIF5A is now known to generally promote translation elongation and termination. Moreover, translation of certain motifs like polyproline show a greater dependency on eIF5A. In this chapter, we describe the biochemical assays we use to study eIF5A and its regulation. Owing to the complex nature of protein synthesis, these assays require the purification of over 10 translation factors plus ribosomes, tRNAs, and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. We describe the methods used to purify these components, to synthesize the mRNA templates for translation, and to resolve the translation products by electrophoretic thin-layer chromatography. With the recent identification of eIF5A as a key target for regulating the synthesis of polyamine synthesis and transport, and the recent identification of mutations in eIF5A causing a neurodevelopmental disorder, the assays described in this chapter will be useful in further elucidating the function and regulation of this enigmatic protein.",

TMEM106B variants that increase TMEM106B expression levels are linked to several neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Additionally, the C-terminal lumenal fragment of TMEM106B was recently shown to form amyloid fibrils during aging and neurodegeneration. However, the mechanisms regulating TMEM106B levels are not well understood. Here we show that TMEM106B is myristoylated by NMT1/2 enzymes at its glycine 2 \u03b1-amino group and its lysine 3 \u03b5-amino group. Myristoylation decreases TMEM106B levels by promoting its lysosomal degradation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTFs) can be detected under physiological conditions, and the levels of CTFs are regulated by myristoylation and lysosomal activities. In addition, we show that non-myristoylated TMEM106B accumulates on the cell surface, indicating that myristoylation affects TMEM106B trafficking within the cell. Taken together, these findings suggest that TMEM106B myristoylation is an important mechanism regulating its function, trafficking, and turnover.",

The first publication11 noted an unknown component coordinating with lysine residues in the protein, a finding recapitulated in many succeeding studies. Previous authors have emphasized difficulties in analysing this component12,20,28,33,43,45, but current findings, using powerful visualisation software UCSF ChimeraX46 on all publicly available maps1-44, indicate that the issue is tractable. Lysine-coordinating extra densities have common features, including a Y-shaped substructure, suggestive of a molecular factor in common, in neuropathological fibrils from a wide range of neurodegenerations and involving misfolded proteins beta-amyloid10,35, alpha-synuclein27,37,39,41, prion protein17, tau1,5,7,8,11,12,15,16,19,22-26,29-33,35,43 and transmembrane protein 106B5,9,18,20,24,28,36,44. A similar component, albeit in non-lysine environments, was found in neuropathological fibrils involving TAR DNA-binding protein 432,3 and TATA-binding protein-associated factor 1536. The results suggest the existence of a common molecular factor, a predominantly anionic polymer, linking these diseases and raising the possibility of a unitary basis for Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerations. Based on evidence here, RNA is a feasible candidate for this putative common factor. Such findings raise the possibility of new diagnostic tests and treatments for these devastating diseases in the future.",

Most vaccines, including recent COVID-19 mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), are optimized for intramuscular (i.m.) administration and typically perform poorly when delivered intranasally. Here, we prepared mRNA-LNPs using clinically approved ionizable lipids (ALC-0315, SM-102, and DLin-MC3-DMA) with or without a permanent cationic lipid (1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane [DOTAP]) to deliver a model immunogen (ovalbumin [OVA]) and CRE recombinase reporter mRNA. Using wild-type C57BL/6 and Ai14 reporter mouse models, we deconvoluted the effects of LNP formulation on mRNA cargo delivery and immunogenicity following i.m. or intranasal (i.n.) administration. After i.m. vaccination, mRNA-LNPs demonstrated transfection of muscle and immune cells in\u00a0vivo, and consequently robust humoral immune responses. In contrast, mRNA-LNP delivery to the respiratory mucosa was poorly immunogenic, both in naive animals and in those with post-infection inflammation. Encouragingly, mRNA-LNPs efficiently transfected epithelial and immune cells within the lungs and expressed mRNA cargo could efficiently recall immunity in draining secondary lymphoid tissues. The addition of DOTAP led to enhanced recall responses. Decoding interplays of LNP formulations and their performance in\u00a0vivo within specific tissue compartments will provide principles that can guide the rational design of mRNA-LNPs for maximal protection against respiratory diseases.",

Current treatment approaches are hindered by limited efficacy, poor patient adherence, and the inability of many therapeutic agents to effectively penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB, a selective and protective interface between the bloodstream and brain tissue, restricts drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS), resulting in suboptimal concentrations of antidepressants at the target site and delayed therapeutic responses. This review explores the limitations of conventional drug delivery systems for depression and highlights the intranasal route as a promising non-invasive alternative for direct brain targeting. Intranasal delivery bypasses hepatic first-pass metabolism and systemic degradation, offering rapid drug absorption and CNS access through olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways. Among emerging strategies, nanotherapeutics have gained increasing attention due to their capacity to improve solubility, protect labile compounds, and provide sustained drug release. Nanoparticles can encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs, enhancing their pharmacokinetics and stability. When administered intranasally, these nanocarriers can directly reach the brain, potentially reducing dosage frequency and enhancing therapeutic outcomes, while minimizing systemic side effects. This review focuses on the latest advancements in intranasal nanotherapeutic formulations for depression, such as polymeric nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers. The synergistic integration of nanotechnology and targeted CNS delivery offers a transformative approach to overcome the challenges posed by the BBB and improve depression management. While preclinical findings are promising, further clinical studies are necessary to confirm safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes. Overall, intranasal nanotherapeutics represent a compelling direction for the development of next-generation antidepressant therapies, aiming to achieve faster onset, improved adherence, and enhanced quality of life for patients suffering from depression.",

However, the underlying mechanism is poorly defined. Here, we identify that cancer cells secrete more spermidine synthase (SRM) enzyme through small extracellular vesicles to trigger skeletal muscle weakness upon radiotherapy. Mechanistically, irradiation-triggered arachidonic acid (ArA) accumulation elevates the ISGylation of the SRM protein, facilitating SRM packaging into extracellular vesicles from the primary tumor. Circulating SRM results in spermidine accumulation in skeletal muscle and type I collagen fiber biosynthesis in an eIF5A-dependent manner. However, losartan treatment blocks the ISGylation of SRM and its subsequent secretion. Collectively, our findings determine that ArA functions in concert for circulating SRM secretion upon radiotherapy, which aggravates skeletal muscle fibrosis through rewiring polyamine metabolism, shedding light on the alleviation of radiotherapy-mediated muscle weakness when combined with losartan treatment.",

In this study we identified two novel A. baumannii antigens using mass spectrometry and phage expression: Oxa23 and PAL. These genes are highly conserved between different isolates of A. baumannii and recognised by convalescent human sera. We explored their protective immunity using two different vaccine platforms, recombinant outer membrane vesicles (rOMV) and mRNA. RNA vaccine immunised mice had significantly reduced bacterial load in their lower airways following challenge with carbapenem resistant A. baumannii, with Oxa23 providing better protection than PAL. We then compared routes of delivery and RNA vaccine platforms, demonstrating that intranasally delivery of mRNA encoding OXA-23 (formulated with GL67A) significantly reduced disease severity and enhanced bacterial clearance. These studies validate in silico identified antigens through challenge studies and novel mucosal vaccine delivery approaches.",

Furthermore, they are small aliphatic cations that exhibit multifunctional activities through interactions with acidic substances, thereby precluding our understanding of their molecular functions in biological processes. eIF5A1 and eIF5A2 share high amino acid sequence similarity, and hypusination, using spermidine, is essential for their functions. eIF5A1 is ubiquitously expressed in all tissues and is essential for normal cell growth, whereas eIF5A2 is often expressed in human cancer tissues; however, the functional differences between eIF5A1 and eIF5A2 remain unclear. Here, we found that eIF5A2 is regulated by polyamines at the translational level and that eIF5A2, rather than eIF5A1, is important for cancer cell growth. The translational initiation of eIF5A2 mRNA was negatively regulated by miR-6514-5p at the 5'-UTR, and polyamines inhibited this miRNA function, facilitating eIF5A2 synthesis. A proteomic analysis of cells with either eIF5A1 or eIF5A2 silenced showed distinct profiles. In addition, polyamines upregulated the expression of five ribosomal proteins, particularly RPS27A, RPL36A, and RPL22L1, which are associated with cancer malignancy. Our findings reveal an important role for eIF5A2, regulated by polyamines and miR-6514-5p, in cancer cell proliferation, suggesting that the interaction between eIF5A2 and ribosomes, which regulate cancer progression, is a selective target for cancer treatment.",

The blood-brain barrier significantly limits current treatment strategies, such as pharmacological therapies (oral or systemic), neurosurgical procedures, and neuromodulation. This highly selective barrier prevents most small-molecule drugs and virtually all biologics from reaching effective concentrations within the central nervous system (CNS), thereby restricting their therapeutic potential. Therefore, traditional drug delivery methods face challenges in effectively delivering therapeutic agents to the CNS. Intranasal delivery circumvents this limitation through direct nose-to-brain transport via olfactory/trigeminal pathways, achieving higher cerebrospinal fluid drug bioavailability compared to intravenous routes. In this review, we present a comprehensive elucidation of the pathophysiology of CNS disorders and the intricate mechanisms governing drug transport from the nasal cavity. Significantly advancing the field, we provide an exhaustive overview of cutting-edge nanocarriers and inhalation devices specifically designed for inhalable formulations, highlighting their unique advantages and limitations. This review combines clinical and engineering insights to evaluate innovative treatment methods through intranasal delivery, while identifying critical research pathways for improving central nervous system therapies.",

Despite this commonality, most current therapeutic approaches in the field, such as anti-aggregate antibodies, are focused on individual diseases or single neuropathologies with only limited success. The endolysosomal proteins progranulin and TMEM106B were both initially associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration but have subsequently also been linked to other neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, these proteins are predicted to participate in common pathogenic pathways shared across various neurodegenerative diseases. Importantly, recent discoveries of TMEM106B amyloid fibrils in varied neurodegenerative diseases and glycosphingolipid regulation by progranulin and TMEM106B further support their central roles in cross-disease neurodegenerative mechanisms. This review summarizes recent advances in progranulin and TMEM106B function within the endolysosomal system and neurodegenerative diseases. It describes preclinical models and therapeutic approaches for progranulin- and TMEM106B-associated diseases. We also discuss future direction leading to novel alternative therapies targeting shared mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases.",

Despite their widespread prevalence, effective treatment options remain inadequate. A significant challenge contributing to this therapeutic gap is the impermeability of the blood-brain barrier to many drugs. Thus, developing new strategies to bypass this barrier and deliver therapeutic agents to the central nervous system (CNS) is crucial. The intranasal (IN) route has emerged as a promising approach in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases. This method of administration is gaining attention as a viable alternative for delivering various pharmacological agents, including proteins, miRNA, and oligonucleotides, to the CNS. It offers advantages over oral and intravenous routes. However, translating IN formulations from preclinical models to clinical practice presents several challenges. Assessing the adequacy of current clinical trials in evaluating IN delivery efficacy is crucial. Furthermore, the introduction of novel formulations such as nanoparticles sparks excitement for enhancing the effectiveness of IN drug administration compared to traditional free drug solutions. This review summarizes recent advancements in delivering therapeutic molecules to the CNS to treat neurodegenerative diseases. We explore critical strategies to overcome the blood-brain barrier obstacle, focusing on recent progress using the IN route as a potential avenue for effective neurodegenerative disease therapies. Additionally, we will delve into the preclinical studies that have provided the basis for the clinical trials conducted.",

Incorporating bioactive compounds such as neuropeptides that enhance brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression may amplify their therapeutic potential. We developed a clinical-scale method for loading neuropeptides into MSC-EVs, while preserving their structural integrity and therapeutic functionality. Through scalable 3D bioprocessing, we produced high-purity MSC-EVs and evaluated loading methods for encapsulating neuropeptides and full-length BDNF. EVs were characterized using electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and 3D STORM microscopy. The cellular uptake, distribution, and biological effects of neuropeptide-loaded MSC-EVs were tested in vitro and in vivo. Passive incubation was the optimal loading method for maintaining EV integrity while achieving effective neuropeptide encapsulation. Active loading methods destabilized the EV membrane despite higher encapsulation efficiency. Neuropeptide-loaded MSC-EVs crossed the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and significantly enhanced BDNF expression, neurogenesis, and neuroprotection in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Compared with HEK293-derived extracellular vesicles (HEK-EVs), MSC-EVs demonstrated superior regenerative effects. In a photothrombotic stroke model, intranasal administration of neuropeptide-loaded MSC-EVs reduced infarct size, improved neuronal survival, and activated neuroprotective pathways mediated by Cyclic AMP Response Element-Binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation. We established a clinically scalable approach for producing neuropeptide-loaded MSC-EVs with potential as next-generation, targeted neuroregenerative therapies for treating stroke and other neurological disorders. Importantly, the EVs used in this study were produced under clinically applicable conditions and characterized according to the Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles (MISEV) 2023 guidelines.",

Chronic exposure to arsenic, a prevalent environmental neurotoxin, has been increasingly associated with IGF-1 signaling disruption, resulting in oxidative stress, neuronal apoptosis, cognitive dysfunction, and progressive neurodegeneration. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanistic interplay between arsenic-induced neurotoxicity and IGF-1 pathway impairment, emphasizing the molecular and functional consequences on brain health. To address these challenges, we explore emerging nanotechnological strategies, specifically, nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery systems, as promising therapeutic tools. Particular attention is given to intranasal delivery platforms such as liposomes, solid lipid NPs, nanoemulsions, and cubosomes that encapsulate both synthetic and natural neuroprotective agents. Notably, this review presents, for the first time in this context, a comparative evaluation of these NP systems, highlighting their respective advantages, limitations, and brain-targeting capabilities. In addition to synthesizing preclinical evidence, we critically assess translational barriers to clinical implementation, including regulatory hurdles, scalability, and long-term safety considerations. By integrating insights from neurotoxicology, nanomedicine, and translational neuroscience, this review offers a novel perspective on counteracting arsenic-induced cognitive decline and proposes a potential paradigm shift in the treatment of environmentally driven neurodegenerative disorders.",

However, the secretary mechanism and biological effect of cancer cell derived EVs on tumour survival under starvation is poorly defined. Here, we identify cancer cells selectively secrete miR-33a with the assistance of aconitase 1 (ACO1), an iron-responsive RNA binding protein, under glucose starvation and lower iron level, which affiliates the binding capability of miR-33a and ACO1. Exosomal miR-33a suppresses putrescine biosynthesis by targeting AGMAT in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) from tumour core region, where putrescine inhibits the expression of demethylase KDM5C. TIA1 gene, stress granule (SG) marker, is tightly regulated by miR-33a/KDM5C/H3K4me3 axis and exosomal miR-33a diminishes the formation of stromal SGs in CAFs. Collectively, our study reveals tumour selectively secretes miR-33a-5p through EVs to remodel the stromal SG formation and gain survival possibility for cancer cells in tumour core region, highlighting a novel regulatory mechanism of iron and nutrient level on EV secretion and the function of polyamine metabolism in reshaping epigenetic profiles.",

However, the investigation on ginseng-derived exosomes is still in the initial stage. This study developed a photonic crystal-based Bragg scattering coupling electrochemiluminescence (BSC-ECL) biosensor for detection of miRNA396a-3p in exosome-like nanoparticles (GENs) and ginseng exosomes (Gexos). First, copper nanoclusters were engineered into Cu superparticles with \u03c0-\u03c0 stacking of 2,6-dimethylbenzenethiol ligands via a ligand-mediated self-assembly strategy. The prepared Cu superparticles with significantly enhanced luminescence intensity and stability can be used as a nanoprobe. Furthermore, the Bragg scattering law was utilized to modulate the ECL intensity of the Cu superparticles. Due to the highly periodic structure of MIL-96-based photonic crystals, multiple scattering pathways in photonic crystals greatly increased the effective photon flux of Cu superparticles, thus creating a positive feedback loop between photon absorption and emission. Therefore, this cascade amplification mechanism ultimately led to significant BSC-ECL enhancement. The BSC-ECL provided a new quantitative analysis method for key miRNA detection in plant extracellular vesicles, which revealed distinct miRNA concentrations in GENs and Gexos. The method also demonstrated considerable potential in areas such as ginseng quality control, product development, and bioanalysis applications.",

The neuropathological features of adult DS remain poorly understood. We report the postmortem findings of a 55-year-old woman with DS due to a confirmed SCN1A pathogenic variant leading to Nav1.1 loss of function. Clinically, she developed pharmacoresistant seizures, intellectual disability, progressive ataxia, parkinsonism, and cognitive decline. Neuropathological examination revealed a striking excess and several layers of corpora amylacea (wasteosomes) covering the whole convexity of the brain. In addition, abundant p62-positive gray matter neuritic profiles were found mostly in limbic regions and in the white matter in neocortical regions. Pericellular TMEM106B-positive deposits and prominent immunoreactivity for aquaporin 4 were also observed. There was severe Purkinje cell loss in some lobes of the cerebellum together with variable neuronal loss in the substantia nigra, neocortex, and hippocampus. No \u03b1-synuclein, amyloid-\u03b2, or phospho-TDP-43 pathology was present. Immunostaining for phosphorylated tau revealed neurofibrillary pathology consistent with Braak stage I (left) -II (right).

TDP-43 pathology, a hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases, plays a critical role in disease progression. Given the anatomical and physiological similarities between pig and human brains, large animal models offer a unique advantage in more accurately simulating patient-specific disease characteristics. In this study, we rapidly established a TDP-43-induced neurodegenerative disease model in pigs through ear vein injection of the TDP-43M337V virus. Disease progression was systematically evaluated using behavioral assessments and pathological analyses. This porcine model produced extremely severe motor dysfunction accompanied by significant muscle atrophy and fibrosis. Additionally, characteristic TDP-43 pathological phenotypes were observed, including degeneration of spinal motor neurons and proliferation of glial cells in both the brain and spinal cord. Notably, TDP-43M337V induction led to a significant upregulation of TMEM106B, SOD1, and APOE4 levels.

However, the molecular mechanism underlying cancer-induced depression (CID) remains poorly understood. Twist1 is a proto-oncogene driving tumor progression and metastasis, and chronic stress induces Twist1 expression in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). This study aims to investigate the role and mechanisms of tumor-derived Twist1 in CID. Methods: shTwist1 stably expressing 4T1 cells were obtained through lentivirus transduction and puromycin selection. Tumor cells were subcutaneously inoculated into mice to establish a tumor-bearing mice model. Behavioral assays were used to assess depressive-like behaviors in mice. Ultra-high-speed centrifugation was employed to extract extracellular vehicles (EVs) in 4T1 cell medium or serum from tumor-bearing mice. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to detect the levels of Twist1 mRNA and protein from tumor-derived EVs or mPFC tissue. Lentivirus was injected into the mPFC to knock down Twist1. Intravenous or intranasal administration of tumor or serum-derived EVs were used to investigate the role of EVs-packaged Twist1 in depressive-like behaviors in mice. Results: The present study demonstrated that tumor-derived EVs mediated the inter-organ communication between tumor cells and brain. Pharmacological inhibition of EVs secretion mitigated depressive-like behaviors in tumor-bearing mice. Intravenous or intranasal injection of EVs from tumor cells or serum from tumor-bearing mice into na\u00efve mice induced a depressive-like phenotype. Further investigation identified tumor-derived EVs Twsit1 as a crucial mediator of cancer-induced dendritic atrophy and depressive-like behaviors in tumor-bearing mice. Knockdown of Twist1 in tumor cells significantly alleviated the detrimental effects of tumor-derived EVs on neuronal morphogenesis and prevented their pro-depressant effects. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that tumor-derived EVs containing Twist1 constitute a key pathological driver of cancer-induced depression, revealing a potential therapeutic target for clinical intervention.",

A promising new approach is the therapeutic use of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for aSyn knockdown, but is challenging due to siRNA instability, poor delivery, and inefficient uptake. Therefore, we developed a nanoparticle-based approach for intranasal delivery of siRNAs, circumventing the blood-brain barrier and enhancing the potential of siRNAs for clinical application. Tyrosine-modified polyethylenimines (PEIs), or polypropylenimine dendrimers (PPIs), were complexed with siRNA targeting the aSyn-encoding gene SNCA (siSNCA) and combined with liposomes. Nanoparticles efficiently transfected SH-SY5Y cells with low cytotoxicity and significantly reduced SNCA mRNA levels. In Thy1-aSyn mice, intranasally administered labeled nanoparticles distributed extensively across the brain, including the olfactory bulb, substantia nigra, and prefrontal cortex. After only 4 days of treatment, siSNCA-loaded nanoparticles significantly reduced aSyn protein and SNCA mRNA levels in the brain. Mice showed neither overt adverse behavioral effects nor increased reactive microglia. These findings highlight the potential of nanoparticle-mediated intranasal siRNA delivery as a promising, non-invasive approach to reduce aSyn levels in the brain, offering a novel therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease.",

These repeat sequences undergo a noncanonical translation known as repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. Unlike canonical translation, RAN translation initiates from non-AUG codons and occurs in all reading frames. To identify potential regulators of RAN translation, we employed a bottom-up approach using a human factor-based reconstituted cell-free translation system to recapitulate RAN translation. This approach revealed that omission of either eIF1A or eIF5B enhanced the translation in all reading frames of C9orf72-mediated RAN translation (C9-RAN), suggesting that eIF1A and eIF5B act as repressors of RAN translation. eIF1A and eIF5B are known to contribute to the fidelity of translation initiation. In HEK293T cells, double knockdown of eIF1A and eIF5B further promoted C9-RAN compared to single knockdowns, indicating that these factors regulate C9-RAN through distinct initiation steps. Furthermore, under eIF1A knockdown conditions, the enhancement of RAN translation via the integrated stress response (ISR) was not observed in HEK293T cells, indicating that eIF1A is involved in the ISR-mediated non-AUG translation.",

This study investigated the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ZS-loaded nanoparticles (NP) and transferrin-functionalized nanoparticles (Tf-NP) administered intravenously (IV) and intranasally (IN) in rats. Brain and plasma concentrations were quantified up to 24 h, and parameters including Cmax, AUC0-24, brain-to-plasma ratios, drug targeting efficiency (%DTE), and direct transport percentage (%DTP) were assessed. Behavioral assays evaluated antipsychotic efficacy. IN administration of NP and Tf-NP significantly enhanced brain exposure relative to IV and IN drug solution, with Tf-NP achieving the highest brain Cmax (329.17\u202f \u00b1 \u202f19.79 ng/mL) and AUC0-24 (4004.73\u202f \u00b1 \u202f396.87 ng\u00b7h/mL), and a %DTP exceeding 92%, indicative of effective nose-to-brain bypass of the BBB. Plasma exposure was reduced for NP and Tf-NP versus IV (Cmax and AUC0-\u221e), minimizing systemic side effects. Brain-to-plasma ratios markedly increased for NP (1.31) and Tf-NP (1.50) compared to IV (0.13). Tf-NP also elicited a faster onset and sustained pharmacodynamic response. These data demonstrate that intranasal Tf-functionalized ZS nanoparticles significantly improve CNS targeting and bioavailability while mitigating systemic exposure, supporting their development as targeted therapeutics for neuropsychiatric disorders.",

To investigate the underlying mechanism, we generated a series of reporter constructs to confirm the translation product of GIPC1 expanded GGC repeats. We also developed a specific antibody targeting the predicted N-terminus of the predominant translation product. Its expression and toxicity were validated in patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes and a zebrafish model. Here, we demonstrate that the expanded GGC repeats undergo repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation in multiple reading frames, predominantly generating a polyglycine-containing protein (uGIPC1polyG) initiated at an upstream CTG codon. These polyG-containing proteins aggregate and form intranuclear and cytoplasmic p62/ubiquitin-positive inclusions, which are pathogenic hallmarks of OPDM2. The translation of GGC repeats into a polyG protein also causes mitochondrial dysfunction and disrupts nuclear lamina architecture, thereby inducing cytotoxicity and apoptosis in cell lines, including HEK293T cells, fibroblasts and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived myotubes from OPDM2 patients. Additionally, the zebrafish model exhibits developmental malformation and compromised locomotor function, demonstrating the in vivo toxicity of uGIPC1polyG. These findings suggest that the translation of expanded GGC repeats into a toxic polyG protein might play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of OPDM2, highlighting uGIPC1polyG as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.",

Intranasal delivery offers a promising non-invasive route for direct nose-to-brain targeting, while magnetic nanoparticles can further enhance drug localization and absorption. This study aimed to optimize and evaluate a superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION)-loaded leciplex organogel for intranasal delivery of TFP, with emphasis on the effect of external magnet location. The study compared magnet application on the brain to promote olfactory targeting versus on the nose to enhance systemic absorption. TFP/SPION-leciplex nanoparticles were optimized and incorporated into a thermosensitive mucoadhesive organogel. Pharmacodynamic efficacy was assessed via the forced swimming test, and pharmacokinetics were determined in plasma and brain across four groups: no magnet, magnet on nose, magnet on brain, and oral marketed product. The optimized formulation (266.20\u00a0nm, +50.9\u00a0mV, 5.90\u00a0emu/g, IC50 393.92\u00a0\u03bcg/ml) showed safety and favorable characteristics. Both magnet-assisted groups significantly reduced immobility time versus the non-magnet and oral controls, with no significant difference between the two strategies. However, the \"magnet on nose\" group achieved the highest plasma levels, favoring systemic absorption, while the \"magnet on brain\" group achieved the highest brain levels, favoring olfactory targeting. The SPION-loaded leciplex organogel significantly improved intranasal TFP delivery, enabling dose reduction and superior efficacy compared with oral therapy. Magnet placement was profound in directing drug distribution toward systemic circulation or brain, suggesting that the two approaches may be clinically tailored-\"magnet on nose\" for systemic delivery and \"magnet on brain\" for CNS targeting.",

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.

They are released by cells into the surrounding extracellular environment and vary in size, composition, and biogenesis pathways. Beyond their natural role in intercellular communication, mediating the transfer of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (like mRNA and miRNA) between cells, EVs have emerged as a highly versatile and promising therapeutic platform for a range of challenging disorders, particularly those affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and various cancers. The CNS presents unique therapeutic challenges, notably the formidable blood-brain barrier (BBB), which restricts the entry of most conventional drugs. EVs, however, possess an inherent capacity to traverse this barrier, either naturally or through engineered modifications. This characteristic positions them as ideal nanocarriers for delivering therapeutic payloads such as neurotrophic factors, gene therapy constructs, or anti-inflammatory agents directly to target neural cells for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, and even glioblastoma. Their biocompatibility and low immunogenicity further reduce systemic side effects, making them a safer alternative to synthetic delivery systems. This review outlines recent progress in extraction techniques using EVs for treating neurological disorders. It covers clinical applications in neurodegenerative, infectious diseases, inflammatory, genetic, and oncological diseases and highlights current limitations and considerations for advancing future research in this evolving field.",

Despite significant efforts, no disease-modifying therapies targeting specific molecular pathways have demonstrated consistent clinical efficacy. This challenge has shifted attention toward drug delivery strategies that improve bioavailability, targeting, and patient accessibility. Intranasal delivery has emerged as a promising, non-invasive approach that bypasses the blood-brain barrier, and improves patient compliance. Lipid-based systems, especially following the success of COVID-19 vaccines, have gained attention as versatile platforms for delivering RNAs. Their ability to encapsulate diverse payloads and tunable composition makes them ideal candidates for targeting neurodegenerative disorders via the intranasal route. This review discusses recent advances in intranasal delivery for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, emphasizing on lipid-based nanoparticles. It addresses formulation challenges such as stability, targeting efficiency, and compatibility with nasal physiology, and outlines key design parameters affecting brain delivery. Future directions are explored to advance formulation development and clinical translation. Intranasal lipid-based drug delivery represents a promising strategy to bypass the blood-brain barrier in neurogenerative disorder treatment. Although regulatory gaps and the absence of long-term safety evaluation, intranasal administration offers clear advantages for CNS targeting underscoring strong potential for future clinical translation.",

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.",

A shared feature linking these genes? They encode proteins residing in or impacting the function of the lysosome, a key organelle in macromolecular degradation and recycling whose loss leads to the inability to manage proteostatic stress. Here, we propose that lysosomes connect a subset of genetic neurological and neurodegenerative disorders as they occur in two distinct life epochs-development and aging-that endure high levels of proteostatic and other physiological stresses. In this Perspective, we highlight the differing mechanisms of three genes that exemplify this link: glucocerebrosidase A (GBA: Gaucher's disease and Parkinson's disease), progranulin (GRN: neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and frontotemporal dementia), and tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1: tuberous sclerosis complex and frontotemporal dementia). We discuss why neurons seem particularly vulnerable to lysosomal dysfunction and ways in which lysosomes potentially contribute to selective neuronal vulnerability. Finally, as disrupted lysosomal catabolism of macromolecules connects these diseases of the nervous system, we propose that they be jointly conceptualized as \"Lysosomal Clearance 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.",

The C9orf72 repeat expansion is bidirectionally transcribed into sense and anti-sense RNA foci, and also produces dipeptide repeats (DPRs) via a non-canonical translation mechanism known as repeat-associated (RAN) translation. Each of these components of the G4C2 repeat expansion cause neurodegenerative effects in animal models when expressed in neurons, but impacts from glial expression are more poorly understood. Here, we use glial cell type-specific expression of individual DPRs, of RNA repeat-only, or of the G4C2 repeat that is capable of producing both DPRs and RNA repeats to systematically investigate both the glial cell-intrinsic and non-cell autonomous toxicity of each of these components. Our results show that as with neurons, the GR and G4C2 transgenes, produce the highest degree of cell-intrinsic toxicity when expressed in glia. Both of these transgenes are capable of producing the GR DPR, which is also typically found to be the most toxic factor in neurons. We demonstrate that both the GR and G4C2 transgenes cause activation of mdg4, an endogenous retrovirus (ERV). Such ERV expression is a hallmark of TDP-43 dysfunction that is commonly observed in C9orf72 patients and contributes to both cell intrinsic and non-cell autonomous toxicity. We find that only the G4C2 transgene produces measurable non-cell autonomous effects that result in loss of nearby neurons. But manipulations of apoptosis reveal non-cell autonomous or systemic effects from either GR or G4C2 expressing glia. Blocking apoptotic cell death of either GR or G4C2 expressing glia via the p35 caspase inhibitor further exacerbates effects on lifespan and ablating such glia via expression of the proapoptotic reaper gene partially ameliorates these effects.",

These properties make Cdoids a promising candidate for lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations. Incorporating Cdoids into LNPs enhances mRNA delivery efficiency via intranasal (IN) administration, providing a viable alternative to intramuscular (IM) injection. The unique structural features of Cdoids facilitate the formation of stable nanoparticles that efficiently encapsulate and deliver mRNA leveraging the immunological environment of the nasal mucosa to induce robust systemic and localized immune responses. Notably, Cdoids broaden the range of endocytosis mechanisms beyond conventional LNPs, leading to significantly enhanced mRNA expression within target cells. Comparative analyses demonstrated that Cdoids surpass commercially available ionizable lipids, such as SM-102, in both mRNA delivery efficiency and safety, exhibiting lower cytotoxicity in vitro and improved mRNA expression in vivo following IN administration. Furthermore, when applied as an mRNA cancer vaccine platform, Cdoids-based LNPs elicited strong antigen-specific immune responses, leading to effective tumor growth suppression. This study highlights the potential of Cdoids as an advanced ionizable lipid for LNP-based mRNA therapeutics and introduces an innovative strategy for optimizing intranasal vaccine delivery.",

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.",

The main risk factor for AD is age, and ageing reduces microglial phagocytosis of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques, while increasing microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons. Most of the known genetic risk for AD can be linked to microglial phagocytosis, including ABCA1, ABI3, ACE, ADAM17, APOE, APP, BIN1, BLNK, CD2AP, CD33, CLU, CR1, CTSB, CTSH, EED, GRN, INPP5D, LILRB2, PICALM, PLCG2, PSEN1, PTK2B, SIGLEC11, SORL1, SPI1, TMEM106B and TREM2. Moreover, the only disease-modifying treatments for AD - anti-A\u03b2 antibodies - work by increasing microglial phagocytosis of A\u03b2 aggregates. Microglial phagocytosis of A\u03b2 via TREM2, LRP1, CD33, TAM receptors and anti-A\u03b2 antibodies appears to reduce AD pathology by pruning and compacting plaques, restricting subsequent tau pathology, whereas microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons seems detrimental in the later stages of AD, via complement, P2Y6\u00a0receptor and TREM2. However, the roles of microglial phagocytosis in AD are complex and multifaceted, and improved treatments are likely to require a deeper understanding of these roles.",

Immunohistochemistry shows that sense polyserine (polySer) (AGC frame) and antisense polyleucine (polyLeu) (CUG frame) RAN protein aggregates accumulate throughout the cerebellum and pons, in SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, and SCA7 autopsy brains, and in damaged neurons. Cerebellar white matter regions, with prominent polySer and polyLeu but minimal polyGln, show neuroinflammation and demyelination. In SCA3 mice, RAN protein aggregates increase with age. SCA1 Pcp2-ATXN1[82Q] (Pcp2-82Q) mice designed to express ataxin-1 (ATXN1)-polyGln in Purkinje cells show sense and antisense RAN protein aggregates throughout the cerebellum. Disrupting the ATXN182Q:capicua binding, which improves behavior and neuropathology, also reduces RAN protein aggregates.

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.",

Statins, widely used for hypercholesterolemia, exhibit pleiotropic neuroprotective effects; however, their therapeutic potential in CNS disorders is restricted by poor brain bioavailability with conventional routes.

To address this, a new therapy approach was demonstrated in this study, in which ginsenoside (GS) molecules are incorporated into small extracellular vesicles (sEV) secreted by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and the formed complexes are then anchored in DNA hydrogels via aptamer-CD63 affinity as \"GS/sEV@DNAgels\". Besides the tissue-restorative ability that sEVs inherit from MSCs, in GS/sEV@DNAgels, GS molecules provide a superior antimicrobial/anti-inflammatory environment at wound sites, while DNA hydrogels serve as wound dressings to ensure sustained release kinetics and enhanced skin penetration. An innovative ultrasonic stimulation was developed to promote the massive production of sEVs. By triggering multiple cellular responses that alter membrane fluidity, calcium levels, and relevant protein expression, our approach achieves a 57.7-fold increase in sEV yield. The synergistic effects of GS and sEVs enhance cell viability, migration, and angiogenesis, as well as local anti-inflammatory and antibacterial conditions during diabetic wound healing.

Ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a promising class of nanocarriers to facilitate the delivery of mRNA, as their highly modular nature enables fine-tuning of the LNP formulation for targeted delivery applications. In this work, we explore the role of ionizable lipid chemical structure and lipid molar ratios within the LNP formulation on mRNA delivery to and transfection of the brain. We utilize a high-throughput in vivo screening approach based on mRNA barcoding to study a large library of LNPs made with systematically varied ionizable lipid structures, amounts of ionizable lipid, and amounts of lipid-polyethylene glycol (PEG). We find that ionizable lipids with longer tail structures and linear amine cores can facilitate mRNA delivery to the mouse brain, and ultimately identify a specific ionizable lipid, C14-306, that facilitates brain transfection coupled with reduced liver transfection compared to an FDA-approved benchmark formulation. Furthermore, the lead LNP formulated with C14-306 is able to increase neuronal transfection and facilitate Cre-mediated recombination in the brain. Finally, safety analyses demonstrate that the lead LNP does not induce BBB leakage, increases in serum inflammatory cytokine levels, or increases in serum liver enzyme levels. Overall, our work highlights the utility of molecular barcoding for high-throughput screening of LNPs for delivery to the brain and suggests several design principles to guide the engineering of next-generation brain-tropic LNPs.",

However, the cellular heterogeneity of diabetic wounds and the specific molecular mechanisms underlying their impaired healing remain unclear. Furthermore, treatment strategies based on medicinal plants targeting these pathological mechanisms are lacking. This study explored diabetic wound pathogenesis using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), revealing a 52\u00a0% reduction in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and a decreased abundance of proliferative ECs in diabetic wound tissues, which contributed to impaired vascular repair. Network pharmacology and RT-qPCR identified E-selectin (SELE) as the key target of Panax notoginseng in the treatment of diabetic wounds, which was corroborated by molecular docking. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent a class of superior bioactive nanomaterials compared to traditional extracts, exhibiting high delivery efficiency, molecular transport capacity, and biocompatibility, enabling cross-species communication essential for therapeutic applications. To further overcome limitations associated with plant-derived extracts (e.g., short half-life), we isolated Panax notoginseng EVs and subsequently loaded them into a hydrogel via dynamic borate ester bonds formed between quaternized chitosan-phenylboronic acid (QCS-BA) and konjac glucomannan (KGM), ultimately generating the QBK-2/EVs composite system. This hydrogel not only effectively encapsulated and continuously released EVs, but also exhibited good injectability, self-healing property, tissue adhesion (42.83\u00a0kPa), and ROS/pH-responsive degradation. In vitro, QBK-2/EVs enhanced human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation by downregulating SELE and upregulating angiogenesis markers (CD31, F-actin). In vivo, QBK-2/EVs accelerated wound healing in diabetic mice, promoted hemostasis, increased collagen deposition, and enhanced microvessel density (CD31), while simultaneously reducing the expression of SELE.

PNPs fabricated from natural polymers (chitosan, alginate, gelatin) and synthetic polymers (PLGA, polycaprolactone) provide controlled and sustained drug release, enhanced stability, and prolonged nasal residence time. Surface modifications with targeting ligands such as transferrin and lactoferrin have demonstrated 3.2 to 5.8 fold increases in brain accumulation compared to non-functionalized systems. Coating agents including polysorbate 80 and PEG further enhance nanoparticle transport efficiency and stability, with documented improvements of up to 10.86-fold in brain uptake. Beyond traditional antipsychotics, these nanocarrier platforms show significant potential for delivering neuropeptides (oxytocin, vasopressin) that address negative symptoms and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Novel nanoparticle-based delivery systems, including dendrimers, nanoemulsions, and lipid-based carriers, complement polymeric approaches to overcome limitations of conventional drug therapies.

Despite its pathological and physiological relevance, the biochemical mechanisms governing TMEM106B structural stability and its functional interactions with membranes remain largely unknown. Here, we examined the luminal C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B (called TST, residues 120-254), corresponding to the amyloid fibril core identified by cryo-electron microscopy, to elucidate its functional membrane-binding properties. Using static solid-state 31P and 2H NMR in combination with magic-angle spinning 13C NMR, we characterized TMEM106B(120-254) interaction with multilamellar vesicles of varying lipid composition that mimic lysosomal membranes. TST binds peripherally to lipid bilayers and remodels their fluidity and elasticity in a composition-dependent manner. 31P NMR spectra revealed reduced chemical shift anisotropy and increased asymmetry, accompanied by an isotropic component indicative of enhanced headgroup motion and local curvature. Complementary 2H NMR spectra of POPC-d31 showed decreased quadrupolar splittings and order parameters, demonstrating reduced acyl chain order upon TST binding. These effects were most pronounced in membranes containing anionic lipids and lacking cholesterol, suggesting that electrostatic interactions and lipid motion modulate the balance between random coil mobile TMEM106B and membrane-immobilized \u03b2-rich TMEM106B at the bilayer surface. Together, these findings identify TST as a surface-active remodeler that perturbs membrane structure without deep insertion, providing new insights into the membrane coupling mechanisms of TMEM106B and their potential implications for lysosomal physiology and amyloid formation.",

Gradient ultracentrifugation was employed to isolate and purify AGELNs, while HPLC was employed for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of saponin molecules in AGELNs. Fluorescently labeled AGELNs were used to assess their uptake in cardiac tissue and cardiomyocytes. DIC models in mice and zebrafish were employed to evaluate the effect of AGELNs against DIC. Transcriptomics, RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and pharmacological agonist and antagonist treatments were used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of AGELNs in vivo and in vitro. AGELNs significantly enhanced cardiac function in mice and zebrafish models, evidenced by increased fractional shortening (FS), stroke volume, heart rate, and pericardial sac areas. Concomitantly, AGELNs demonstrated pronounced cardiac accumulation in Dox-treated mice, zebrafish, and cardiomyocytes. Transcriptomic and cellular analyses demonstrated AGELNs attenuate DIC by suppressing lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, AGELNs predominantly inhibit cardiomyocyte ferroptosis by targeting GPX4 and activating the NRF2/HO-1/GPX4 pathway. Furthermore, the cardioprotective effect of AGELNs against DIC has been found to be closely linked to its specific combination of bioactive saponins, including Rb1, Rg1, Re, and Rd. AGELNs significantly mitigated DIC by activating GPX4 and suppressing cardiomyocyte ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo. These insights are valuable for the formulation of AGELNs therapies aimed at combating DIC.",

We identified a PH-related circular RNA, circMFN2, generated from the MFN2 (mitofusin-2) locus, which was significantly downregulated in the peripheral blood of patients with PH and in pulmonary arteries of Sugen/hypoxia-induced PH mice. Functional studies were performed in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells under hypoxic conditions and in Sugen/hypoxia mice treated intranasally with R8-circMFN2 (R8-peptide-modified liposomal circMFN2). Transcriptomic profiling, RNA-protein interaction assays, and mitochondrial function analyses were used to define the downstream mechanisms. circMFN2 overexpression significantly attenuated hypoxia-induced human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration, and mitochondrial dysfunction. RNA sequencing after circMFN2 knockdown revealed activation of gene networks associated with respiratory system diseases. Mechanistically, circMFN2 directly bound the RNA-binding protein IGF2BP3 (insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3), thereby blocking its stabilization of PDK4 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4) mRNA. This circMFN2-IGF2BP3-PDK4 regulatory axis limited PDK4-mediated metabolic reprogramming, restored mitochondrial fusion, reduced reactive oxygen species, and normalized oxidative phosphorylation. In Sugen/hypoxia mice, therapeutic intranasal delivery of R8-circMFN2 significantly improved pulmonary hemodynamics, reduced vascular remodeling, and downregulated PDK4 expression. circMFN2 functions as a hypoxia-responsive regulator that preserves mitochondrial homeostasis by restraining the IGF2BP3-PDK4 axis. Intranasal delivery of R8-circMFN2 establishes a translational potential for noninvasive circular RNA-based therapy to reverse pulmonary vascular remodeling and hemodynamic impairment in PH.",

Given that a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia often results from interplay between multiple underlying neuropathologic co-morbidities, previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of clinically diagnosed AD are restricted in their ability to translate genetic associations to potential targeted therapeutics. The current study seeks to address these limitations by presenting the largest GWAS to date (n=12,509) of neuropathologic hallmarks of AD and AD related dementias (ADRDs). We further performed a candidate-variant analysis using loci previously identified in GWAS of clinically diagnosed AD dementia and Parkinson's disease (PD). Finally, we conducted heritability and genetic correlation analyses using linkage disequilibrium (LD) score regression. We found broad genome-wide significant associations with APOE across AD and ADRDs but not cerebrovascular disease and vascular brain injury. We further identified 12 significant loci across 10 neuropathologic phenotypes, including 5 loci previously implicated in GWAS of clinical AD and ADRDs (variants on BIN1, PICALM / EED, TMEM106B, GRN, and SNCA / SNCA-AS1 ) and 7 novel genome-wide associations (variants on EPHA5, PSMG1, LINC00276, VAPA, LINC00290, DOCK4 and SLAIN2 / SLC10A4 ). Our analysis of AD and PD clinical candidate variants demonstrated several that were associated with AD neuropathologic change and Lewy body disease, as well as substantial overlap with neuropathologic lesions other than the primary neuropathologic hallmarks of these diseases. Heritability analyses demonstrated heritability that was high for amyloid plaques (78%) relative to prior clinical AD heritability analyses, intermediate for TDP-43 inclusions (41%), and low for remaining AD and ADRD pathologic features. This study underscores the importance of investigating the underlying neuropathologic hallmarks of AD and ADRDs as a step toward refining the translation of genetic associations to biomarker interpretation and development of targeted therapeutics. Clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia is commonly associated with its hallmark pathologic changes plus neuropathologic features of prevalent co-morbid diseases such as cerebrovascular disease, Lewy body disease, and more recently discovered abnormalities in protein called TDP-43 (collectively, AD related dementias; ADRD). As a result, previous studies that associated clinical diagnosis of AD with specific genes may not tell us the whole story. For this study, we gathered autopsy and genetic data to identify relationships between genes and dementia-associated brain changes. We found some relationships between these diseases and genes that had been previously identified as contributing to clinical dementia, as well as some new relationships that had been previously unknown. We also found that some genes that had previously been identified in relation to AD were associated with different dementia-associated brain lesions. Finally, we found that the various brain lesions differ in the proportion that can be attributed to genetic vs. environmental differences. These results support that the pathway to a diagnosis of dementia can be caused by multiple factors and are an important step in beginning to identify individually based dementia treatments.",

However, conventional aerosolization methods (e.g., ultrasonic or high-pressure nebulizers) deteriorate non-viral mRNA vectors through excessive shear forces, causing mRNAs to lose their structural integrity and biological activities. A Rayleigh breakup nasal atomizer was used to gently aerosolize polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mRNA vectors into uniform droplets. Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)-encoding mRNA was formulated into cationic polyplexes and characterized pre- and post-aerosolization. The Rayleigh breakup process forms a continuous micro-jet of droplets with minimal shear, thereby preserving the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. Consistent particle size, low polydispersity index, and stable zeta potential before and after aerosolization were observed, confirming that the physicochemical properties of mRNA polyplexes were well preserved via Rayleigh breakup for aerosolization. Using an Alberta Idealized Nasal Inlet (AINI) model of the nasal airway, the PEI-mRNA aerosols were delivered. The aerosolized mRNAs were primarily deposited in the turbinate regions. Negligible fractions were found in the nasopharynx or lung-equivalent sections. In addition, the post-aerosolized mRNA polyplexes were successfully delivered to A549 human lung epithelial cells and produced detectable GFP expression. This protocol demonstrates a non-destructive intranasal mRNA delivery method using Rayleigh breakup aerosolization. It effectively maintains the physicochemical properties and biological functions of non-viral mRNA vectors, atomizing the aqueous phase into droplets of appropriate sizes for targeted nasal deposition. This protocol reveals a novel approach for effectively aerosolizing mRNAs and evaluating their regional deposition in the nasal cavity.",

Here, we revealed that plant-derived extracellular vesicle-like nanoparticles (PEVs) offer a promising strategy to overcome this barrier. Using an optimized high-yield extraction protocol, we isolated PEVs from four medicinal plants: Panax ginseng, Panax notoginseng, Gastrodia elata, and Ligusticum chuanxiong. Among these, extracellular vesicles derived from Panax notoginseng (NotoEV, vesicle population) exhibited the strongest neuroprotective effects under hypoxic conditions in vitro and in vivo stroke models. Mechanistically, NotoEV delivered conserved plant microRNAs to recipient neurons, where they suppressed key stress granule nucleators GTPase-activating protein-binding protein 2 (G3bp2), Ubiquitin-associated protein 2 like (Ubap2l), and LSM14A mRNA processing body assembly factor (Lsm14a), activated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, and promoted mitochondrial stabilization via the B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/ Translocase Of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) axis. This cross-kingdom RNA delivery reprogrammed neuronal stress responses, reduced infarct volume, preserved neuronal morphology, and restored electrophysiological function. Collectively, our findings establish a scalable platform for plant-based nanotherapeutics and highlight the translational potential of NotoEV in treating ischemic stroke.",

Here, we identify a polyamine-dependent tumor-adipose crosstalk that triggers adipocyte lipolysis and fat wasting during the pre-cachexia stage, preceding systemic inflammation and muscle atrophy. Cancer-derived polyamines are enriched in extracellular vesicles and promote lipid mobilization via eIF5A hypusination, independent of adrenergic signaling. In preclinical models, polyamine accumulation associates with early fat loss and elevated circulating fatty acids. Clinically, automated CT imaging of newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer patients reveals increased adipose density, reflecting lipolysis, that correlates with circulating polyamine levels and predicts poor survival. These findings support polyamine metabolism as a mechanistic driver and candidate biomarker of early cachexia, providing a framework for early detection and targeted intervention.",

The emerging tumor-targeted delivery technology can facilitate the precise enrichment of drugs in the tumor site. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE(159-167)2) binds to low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1) on the blood-brain barrier and helps it to specifically cross the BBB. Based on this, in this study, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) dimerized with ApoE(159-167)2 was used for the modification of PAH-AM, and amphiphilic PAH-AM-PEG-ApoE nanocarriers were successfully prepared. Among them, the PEG modification could effectively prolong the retention time of the nanoparticles in vivo and reduce the toxic side effects, while the ApoE(159-167)2 polypeptide could specifically penetrate the blood-brain barrier for intracerebral targeted delivery by binding to LRP-1. The nanocarrier further binds to small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting PLK1, a key cell cycle factor, by electrostatic interaction to construct the nano-delivery system PAPA@siPLK1. In vitro experiments showed that the nanoparticles significantly inhibited the proliferation of U87MG glioma cells, induced apoptosis, and specifically silenced the mRNA and protein expression of PLK1. The results of in vivo animal experiments showed that PAPA@siPLK1 could effectively inhibit tumor growth and had potential brain permeability; The PAPA@siPLK1 nanocarrier delivery system developed in this study achieves PLK1 gene silencing through efficient siRNA delivery, providing an important basis for novel therapeutic strategies for glioma.",

With a staggering 15% mortality rate due to suicide among patients, MDD represents a critical global health challenge. Emerging evidence implicates microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders; however, the role of miR-146a-3p in MDD-particularly its mechanistic involvement and potential as a diagnostic biomarker-remains unexplored. In this study, we integrated multi-database bioinformatics analyses with experimental validation to identify miR-146a-3p as a key regulator of MDD progression. Our computational screening revealed miR-146a-3p as a putative risk-associated non-coding RNA, alongside brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a well-established MDD susceptibility gene. In vivo studies demonstrated a significant upregulation of miR-146a-3p and concurrent downregulation of BDNF in MDD model mice. Further bioinformatic predictions and dual-luciferase reporter assays confirmed a direct interaction between miR-146a-3p and BDNF mRNA, leading to post-transcriptional suppression of BDNF expression. Mechanistically, miR-146a-3p overexpression impaired synaptic plasticity, as evidenced by reduced levels of key synaptic proteins such as postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) and synapsin (SYN-1), while in vitro transfection experiments validated its negative regulation of BDNF. Critically, intranasal delivery of a miR-146a-3p antagomir or exogenous BDNF protein rescued depressive-like behaviors in murine models, as assessed by open-field, forced swim, and tail suspension tests. These interventions restored synaptic protein expression and ameliorated behavioral deficits, suggesting a therapeutic avenue for MDD. Our findings establish miR-146a-3p as a pivotal epigenetic modulator of MDD pathogenesis, acting through direct suppression of BDNF-dependent synaptic plasticity. The reversibility of this pathway via antagomir inhibition highlights miR-146a-3p's dual potential as both a diagnostic biomarker and a therapeutic target. This study provides foundational insights for developing miRNA-based interventions in mood disorders.",

Plant-derived molecules spanning polyphenols, alkaloids, terpenoids, and cannabinoids are attractive because their pleiotropic actions can engage oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and circuit dysfunction. In practice, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts most native phytochemicals through tight-junction selectivity, rapid metabolism, low solubility, and transporter-mediated efflux. Key gaps include poor standardization of exposure metrics, limited human-relevant BBB models, and few head-to-head studies that compare delivery platforms on the same payload and outcome. This review tackles the mismatch between mechanistic promise and reliable brain exposure that stalls translation. The objectives are to link phytochemical liabilities to enabling strategies in nanomedicine, alternative routes, and transporter-targeted prodrugs, and to propose decision-grade endpoints for translation. We synthesize evidence on BBB transport logic, nanocarrier families, targeting ligands, intranasal delivery, focused ultrasound-mediated opening, and prodrug approaches that hijack influx transporters, while foregrounding safety and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) constraints. Here we highlight that effective neurotherapeutics emerge when chemistry, carrier, route, and measurement are co-designed rather than optimized in isolation. This framework can guide platform selection, de-risk first in-human studies, and sharpen trial endpoints. More broadly, it offers a transferable playbook for barrier-limited drug development across neurology, psychiatry, and oncology.",

Recently, EVs have emerged as natural drug delivery systems. While early research focused on mammalian or bacterial EVs, concerns regarding safety, ethics, and cost limit their clinical translation. Plant-derived vesicles (PDVs), isolated from fruits, vegetables, or medicinal herbs, overcome these issues due to their abundant sources, cost-effectiveness, and favorable safety profile. PDVs from plants like citrus, ginger, and ginseng exhibit inherent anticancer effects by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis. However, PDV research remains nascent and faces major challenges: (1) Scalable production is inefficient, with current isolation methods yielding impurities and batch variations. (2) Unified markers and classification criteria are lacking, hindering data standardization. (3) High heterogeneity and the absence of systematic databases impede matching PDV sources to specific diseases. (4) Safety assessment frameworks are urgently needed, including contraindications and pharmacokinetic studies.

In this study, biocompatible bovine serum albumin nanoparticles functionalized with sulfobutyl-\u03b2-cyclodextrin (S\u03b2CD-BSA NPs), comprising individually cytocompatible components with confirmed physical interactions), were formulated for intranasal delivery of carbamazepine (CBZ). Methods: The ethanolic desolvation method was utilised for the preparation of the nanoparticles, with the functional moiety incorporated during nanoparticle preparation. The effects of different molar ratios of S\u03b2CD-BSA and different ethanol volume ratios were studied. For crosslinking, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), a non-toxic crosslinker, was utilised. To determine the role of the S\u03b2CD, two preparation samples were formulated, with and without S\u03b2CD. Results: The formulation without S\u03b2CD incorporation had a mean particle size of 125 \u00b1 0.64 nm, polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.34, encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of 61.5 \u00b1 1.40%, and drug-loading ratio (DL%) of 31.9 \u00b1 1.50%. Conversely, the S\u03b2CD-functionalized formulation showed a mean particle size of 128 \u00b1 2.12 nm, PDI of 0.21 \u00b1 0.03, EE of 64.6 \u00b1 0.35%, and DL of 34.28 \u00b1 1.60%. Statistical analysis revealed that the incorporation of S\u03b2CD resulted in a statistically significant increase in both DL% and EE% (p < 0.05). Conversely, the observed differences in particle size and PDI were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). This addition provides precise context regarding the comparability of the formulations while highlighting S\u03b2CD's functional benefits in solubility and permeation. The interaction between CBZ and S\u03b2CD-BSA was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Lastly, the prepared formulations were characterised by their physicochemical attributes and in vitro biopharmaceutical studies. It was discovered that S\u03b2CD plays a dual role, enhancing the solubility of CBZ in one scenario while promoting its nasal permeation, suggesting its potential use in epilepsy treatment. Conclusions: These findings highlight the potential of S\u03b2CD-BSA NPs as a versatile pharmaceutics platform for the intranasal delivery of poorly soluble CNS drugs.",

These platforms combine exceptional biocompatibility, negligible immunogenicity, and renewable sourcing with tunable drug loading, targeted delivery, and controlled release properties. This review synthesizes translational advances from 2020 to 2026, covering scalable isolation/bioprocessing (bioreactors, elicitation), multi-parametric physicochemical/multi-omics characterization, rational engineering/hybridization, and rigorous in vitro/in vivo assessments of uptake, biodistribution, pharmacokinetic (PK), and efficacy. Phytosomes and PBNPs markedly enhance oral bioavailability and targeted delivery of lipophilic phytochemicals, while PDEVs offer unique immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, and gene-regulatory activities. Hybrid and green-synthesized systems provide structural stability, redox modulation, and synergistic effects, and self-assembled/multifunctional composites address solubilization barriers with stimuli-responsive design. Early-phase human studies on grapefruit-, ginger-, turmeric-, and ginseng-derived PDEVs report excellent short-term safety, favorable PK, and preliminary bioactivity signals, with no observed immunogenicity or dose-limiting toxicities; however, these trials remain exploratory, constrained by small sample sizes and safety-focused endpoints. Despite challenges, including methodological heterogeneity, variable yields, long-term safety uncertainties (notably for inorganic hybrids), and regulatory ambiguities, emerging strategies such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-engineered plant line; artificial-intelligence-driven process optimization; standardized guidelines, and integrated clinical, intellectual property, and commercialization frameworks are progressively addressing these barriers. Collectively, these advances position plant-derived nanocarriers as immunologically privileged, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic and mammalian platforms, laying the foundation for a sustainable era of precision phytomedicine.",

Here, we show that these variants converge on a single molecular intermediate: the cleaved intra-lysosomal fibril core of TMEM106B, a precursor to amyloid fibrils that accumulate in the aging brain. A protein-coding TMEM106B risk variant (p.T185) drives fibril core accumulation by impairing its degradation and GRN risk variants amplify this effect. Mice over-expressing the fibril core develop hallmarks of neurodegeneration, and cryo-electron tomography reveals intra-lysosomal fibrils in cultured neurons, mice, and diseased human brain. In GRN-mutation carriers, in whom fibril burden is greatest, fibrils extrude through ruptured lysosomal membranes.

Mutations in GRN, which encodes progranulin, are a major cause of FTD. Common genetic variants in the TMEM106B gene modify risk of FTD and the effect is especially strong in GRN mutation carriers. Intriguingly, in GRN mutation carriers, being homozygous for the protective TMEM106B haplotype seems to confer near lifetime protection against FTD. Despite the strong genetic link between GRN and TMEM106B, how these two genes interact mechanistically has remained unresolved. Recent studies have revealed that a C-terminal fragment of TMEM106B forms amyloid fibrils and accumulates in the brains of older individuals and patients with neurodegenerative disorders, including FTD. How the production of this fragment connects to granulin deficiency is also unknown. Using lysosome immunoprecipitation, we show that granulin deficiency drives the accumulation of the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment within lysosomes in Grn-knockout mice and GRN-null human iPSC-derived neurons. Recombinant progranulin supplementation reduced TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation. Isogenic neurons carrying the TMEM106B risk allele displayed allele-dose-dependent fragment accumulation that was reversible by progranulin. Structural and genetic analyses demonstrated that TMEM106B dimerization stabilizes the protein and limits C-terminal fragment formation. These findings define a lysosomal pathway linking granulin deficiency to TMEM106B C-terminal fragment accumulation and explain how protective TMEM106B alleles can confer resistance to FTD, even for GRN mutation carriers.",

The intranasal route of administration provides a non-invasive, quick, and efficient means of achieving direct brain targeting. The anatomy and physiology of the nasal cavity play a vital role in drug absorption and transport to the brain. The olfactory and trigeminal nerves are directly linked to the brain, allowing drugs to bypass the BBB.

SLNs are composed of biocompatible lipids and surfactants and offer unique advantages, such as controlled drug release, enhancement in bioavailability, and high brain targeting potential. This review focuses on the exploration of drug-loaded intranasally delivered SLNs for brain diseases (Alzheimer's, Huntington's, stroke, epilepsy, depression, meningitis, Parkinsonism, migraine, brain cancer) with emphasis on the in vitro and in vivo findings. In the reviewed literature, the size of drug-loaded SLNs for brain delivery via intranasal administration was found to be in the range of 65-210 nm. Ongoing clinical trials and patents involving SLNs for intranasal delivery further strengthen the enhanced interest in this drug delivery platform for the effective management of brain diseases.",

Recent studies have revealed that TMEM106B can form amyloid filaments composed of C-terminal fragments (CTFs) in the human brain. In the present study, we explored the relationships between TMEM106B, age, TDP-43, and tau aggregates, and their roles in neurodegeneration. We used immunohistochemistry with an antibody against CTFs of TMEM106B on postmortem human brain fragments (amygdala, hippocampus, temporal cortex, frontal cortex, and basal ganglia) from patients with and without TDP-43/tau pathology at different ages (6-94\u2009years) and with different neurological conditions (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and neurologically healthy subjects). Our results revealed that TMEM106B CTF fibrillization is a common, nonspecific, diffuse, and age-dependent phenomenon (appearing after >52\u2009years of age) that affects neurons and neuroglia (most numerous in astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) and broad neuroanatomical regions (most severe in the temporal cortex). We did not find TMEM106B CTF aggregates in young subjects with TDP-43/tau pathology (with subacute sclerosing panencephalitis), but we revealed differences in TMEM106B CTF fibrillization between Alzheimer's disease without TDP-43 pathology, frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43 pathology, and older healthy subjects without TDP-43/tau pathology. Our results suggest that TMEM106B CTF aggregation is an age-dependent phenomenon and may have a weak association with TDP-43 or tau pathology, shedding new light on the complex relationships among TMEM106B, TDP-43, and tau and the unclear role of TMEM106B fibril formation in the neurodegeneration process.",

Aimed at elucidating the bidirectional crosstalk between periodontitis and IBD at both microbiological and immunological levels and evaluate related therapeutic interventions, this review comprehensively summarizes recent evidence on their interaction via the oral-gut-bone axis, focusing on microbial ecology, host responses, and innovative therapies. Distinct yet overlapping dysbiotic signatures are observed in both diseases, with periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum capable of translocating to the gut and perturbing intestinal homeostasis, while gut inflammation reciprocally reshapes the oral microbiome. Mechanistic links include a spectrum of convergent pathways: (i) microbial metabolites-short-chain fatty acids, choline metabolites, indole derivatives, polyamines, and bile acids-that modulate barrier integrity and immune responses; (ii) shared immune cells and inflammatory mediators driving mucosal damage at both sites; (iii) bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) and lysine lactylation (Kla)-mediated signaling; and (iv) oxidative stress, iron metabolism dysregulation, and ferroptosis contributing to tissue destruction. Therapeutic strategies targeting this axis encompass bidirectional interventions: periodontal and IBD treatments that mutually influence oral and gut health, natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds, probiotics and prebiotics, oral and fecal microbiota transplantation, and emerging bacteriophage therapy. Critically, the clinical translation of collaborative dentistry-gastroenterology management is highlighted as a promising avenue for integrated care.

These nanoparticles were internalized by cells, and miRNA analysis indicated the presence of multiple miRNA types within the nanoparticles. This is the first report demonstrating the presence and characteristics of exosome-like nanoparticles in Kampo medicines. Although most active components of Kampo medicines have traditionally been considered small molecules, our findings suggest that extracellular vesicles can also serve as potential bioactive components.",

The recently developed Pichia pastoris CFPS combines advantages of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, including a rapid growth rate, inexpensive cultivation media, a well-established genetic toolbox, and the capability to perform post-translational modifications (PTMs). As such, it represents a promising alternative for both academic research and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. However, its broader application has been limited by relatively low protein yields and high reagent costs. In this study, building on a previously optimized reaction protocol, we further advanced the P. pastoris CFPS towards a more economical and efficient platform by reducing the cost of protein production. Through systematic screening of chemical additives and their combinations, we identified the most effective stabilizers and crowding agents to be incorporated in the reaction. Additionally, we applied a machine learning model to predict translation initiation rates and optimized the Kozak sequence for enhanced expression. We also evaluated lower-cost glycolytic intermediates as alternative substrates for ATP regeneration to reduce the cost of goods. Compared with the initial baseline condition using the unoptimized CrP/CrK system, the optimized system, incorporating a modified Kozak sequence and the addition of PEG-6000 and spermidine, resulted in a 10-fold increase in protein yield, while reducing the cost per gram of protein by 89%. This work underscores the importance of protein-stabilizing additives and the role of rationally designed DNA sequences with minimized mRNA structural complexity to enhance yield in CFPS. Our demonstration of glycolytic intermediates as a potential secondary energy system additionally provides the foundation for the development of a cost-effective P. pastoris CFPS.",

The blood-brain barrier (BBB), systemic toxicity, and first-pass metabolism are key obstacles. These factors limit the effective drug delivery to the brain. Intranasal administration has emerged as a noninvasive strategy to bypass the BBB. This approach enables direct drug delivery to the brain through the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways, commonly referred to as nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery. In this context, chitosan (CS), a biocompatible and mucoadhesive polysaccharide with permeation-enhancing properties, has gained significant interest as a functional material for nanoparticle (NP) engineering. CS-based or CS-coated NP can prolong the residence time on the nasal mucosa and facilitate drug transport to the CNS. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in CS-based NP for N2B drug delivery across a range of CNS disorders, including neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, neoplastic, and infectious conditions. Particular attention is given to formulation strategies, mechanistic insights, and preclinical outcomes. Recent patent applications are surveyed to underscore the translational potential and commercial interest in this technology. Collectively, CS-based NPs effectively address major therapeutic barriers, establishing a transformative and innovative platform in CNS drug delivery.",

Although the recent mRNA-VLP hybrids enable spontaneous virus-like particles (VLPs) self-assembly, thereby enhancing immunogenicity, they fail to elicit robust pulmonary mucosal immunity against respiratory pathogens. Here, we developed Ad5-Envp-VLP, a chimeric adenoviral platform enabling spontaneous in vivo assembly of envelope protein-displaying VLPs using advanced technology that recruits ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) via the EABR (ESCRT and ALIX-binding region). Compared with the intramuscular route, intranasal administration of a single-dose Ad5-HA-VLP confers long-lasting protection against both homologous and heterologous influenza A strains. Integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry analyses reveal that intranasal delivery of Ad5-HA-VLP recruits and functionally reprograms lung innate immune cells, promoting antigen presentation and driving robust mucosal secretory IgA (sIgA) secretion and cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses. Similarly, intranasal delivery of Ad5-S-VLP elicits potent cross-neutralizing antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Importantly, intranasal immunization with Ad5-S-HA-VLP (coexpressing S- and HA-VLPs) generates dual influenza and SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies, alongside pulmonary antigen-specific sIgA, confirming Ad5-Envp-VLP as a promising \"single-dose multiplexed mucosal vaccine\" against respiratory pathogens. Further extended applications show that Ad5-RVDG-VLP also induces broad protective immunity in mouse, dog, and cat models, verifying its feasibility as an efficient rabies vaccine. Collectively, the Ad5-Envp-VLP platform represents a universal and versatile mucosal vaccine strategy, leveraging pulmonary delivery of vectors that encode in vivo-assembling VLPs to concurrently elicit robust mucosal and systemic immunity against a wide spectrum of pathogens.",

We developed QTAP-R, a novel mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) vaccine encoding Ag85B, Hsp70, and ESAT-6, to enhance immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. QTAP efficiently encapsulated and delivered mRNA with high transfection efficiency and low cytotoxicity. In C57BL/6 mice, QTAP-R induced strong antigen-specific IgG and T-cell responses, including elevated CD4\u207a and CD8\u207a activation and increased polyfunctional cytokines (IFN-\u03b3, TNF-\u03b1, IL-2, IL-17A). When combined with BCG (BCG\u2009+\u2009QTAP-R), the vaccine elicited enhanced immune memory, reduced bacterial burden in lungs and spleen, and minimized lung pathology following M. tuberculosis challenge. Subcutaneous QTAP-R (QTAP-SQ) provided partial protection under high-dose challenge, outperforming intranasal delivery. Transcriptomic profiling revealed upregulation of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-12) and chemokines (CCL3, CCL4, CXCL9, CXCL10), indicating enhanced immune recruitment and activation. CD4\u207a T-cell depletion abolished protection, confirming their critical role in QTAP-R-mediated immunity. Overall, QTAP-R demonstrates potent immunogenicity and synergistic efficacy with BCG, positioning it as a promising mRNA-based TB vaccine candidate.",

However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents over 98% of therapeutics from reaching brain tissue. Intranasal delivery provides a promising alternative by exploiting olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to circumvent the BBB. This review surveys recent advances in nose-to-brain delivery technologies, from carrier design to evaluation methods. Polymeric and lipid-based nanocarriers show enhanced mucosal penetration and prolonged residence time, and microneedle platforms further enable controlled drug release with minimal discomfort. To evaluate these delivery strategies, sensor-integrated organ-on-chip models provide more physiologically relevant testing than static cultures. Although persistent challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance and formulation stability remain, combining nanotechnology with microfluidic devices and computational modeling shows potential for developing patient-specific therapeutics.",

The most common genetic cause of FTD and ALS is a G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. This mutation leads to the production of toxic dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), via repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation. These DPRs disrupt stress granule (SG) dynamics, with SG regulators such as Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) implicated in disease risk. The integrated stress response (ISR), a key driver of SG formation via eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation, has been linked to C9orf72 expansions, but the role of individual DPRs in ISR activation remains unclear. Here, using Drosophila models expressing physiologically relevant repeat length DPRs, we identify poly(GR) as a novel activator of the ISR, inducing early and sustained eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and SG accumulation prior to motor decline. Genetic inhibition of the ISR or knockdown of ATX2, the Drosophila orthologue of ATXN2, rescues motor deficits in these models. ATXN2 knockdown also reduces poly(GR) toxicity in mouse primary neurons. These findings position poly(GR) as a key driver of ISR activation and highlight ATXN2 and the ISR as promising therapeutic targets in C9orf72-associated FTD/ALS.",

Panax notoginseng, a traditional medicinal herb, exhibits well-documented cardioprotective properties; however, the therapeutic application of its bioactive constituents is constrained by poor bioavailability and potential toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as natural nanocarriers facilitating cross-kingdom delivery of bioactive metabolites. In this study, we investigated whether P. notoginseng-derived EVs (PEVs) could mitigate Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and explored the underlying mechanisms. PEVs were isolated from P. notoginseng rhizomes and systematically characterized, with metabolite profiling performed by UPLC-MS. Cellular uptake, biodistribution, and cardioprotective effects were evaluated in Dox-injured cardiomyocytes and a chronic mouse model of DIC. Mechanistic insights were obtained using transcriptomic analysis, molecular docking, and biochemical assays. PEVs were stable nanosized vesicles enriched with characteristic P. notoginseng metabolites, including triterpenoid saponins and dencichine. PEVs were efficiently internalized by cardiomyocytes and preferentially accumulated in injured myocardium. Functionally, PEVs attenuated Dox-induced inflammation, apoptosis, myocardial atrophy, fibrosis, and cardiac dysfunction, with efficacy comparable to dexrazoxane. Mechanistically, transcriptomic and molecular analysis identified p53 as a central regulatory target. PEVs-derived metabolites targeted the p53 DNA-binding domain, suppressing p53 phosphorylation and transcriptional activation of pro-apoptotic and inflammatory genes. Notably, p53 activation attenuated PEVs-mediated protection, whereas p53 inhibition or silencing abolished additional protective effects, indicating a p53-dependent mechanism. PEVs protect against DIC by delivering bioactive metabolites to injured myocardium and inhibiting p53-driven oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic pathways, highlighting their potential as a phytomedicine-based cardioprotective strategy.",

Proteolytically generated C-terminal fragments of TMEM106B assemble into amyloid fibrils that accumulate in the brains of individuals with neurodegenerative disease and in cognitively normal aged adults, yet how these fibrils produce neuronal dysfunction has remained unclear. Here, we show that cytosolic and lysosome-directed TMEM106B C-terminal fragments (CTF and gCTF) form detergent-insoluble amyloid aggregates, drive redistribution of endogenous TDP-43 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, and accelerate neuronal death. Unbiased proximity proteomics identified the inner nuclear membrane LAP1-TorsinA axis as a fragment-specific interactome, and co-immunoprecipitation confirmed a direct physical interaction between gCTF and LAP1 that was not observed with full-length TMEM106B. Fragment expression disrupted Lamin B1 organization, mislocalized the nuclear import machinery KPNB1 and RanGAP1, and impaired importin-dependent nuclear transport in primary cortical neurons. Critically, neurons harboring endogenous TMEM106B fibrillar pathology in aged human frontal cortex exhibited the same phenotypes, namely disrupted Lamin B1 and LAP1 localization and cytoplasmic redistribution of TDP-43, whereas fibril-negative neurons from the same cases and younger control tissue retained intact nuclear envelope organization. These findings define TMEM106B proteinopathy as an upstream driver of nuclear envelope disruption and nucleocytoplasmic transport failure, linking a widespread feature of brain aging to a central mechanism of neurodegeneration.",

Vaccination strategies aimed at inducing mucosal immunity are therefore crucial for preventing viral infections. Lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems enhance mRNA vaccine stability, giving them the potential for mucosal delivery. This study employed an mRNA-LNP vaccine candidate encoding the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein, compatible with intranasal delivery, to evaluate immunization strategies aimed at inducing robust systemic and mucosal immunity. Antibody and T cell responses in both systemic and mucosal compartments, as well as protection against viral challenge, were assessed in mice following various regimens, including single-route and heterologous prime-boost strategies. Single B-cell immune repertoire analysis was performed to further elucidate the advantages of an optimized mucosal immunization approach. Intranasal immunization alone induced weak systemic antibody responses and failed to elicit mucosal immunity. In contrast, an \"intramuscular prime and intranasal boost\" regimen provoked strong systemic and mucosal immunity, marked by significantly elevated levels of antigen-specific T cells and mucosal IgA, which correlated with broader protection. Immunoprofiling revealed that intranasal boosting promoted IgA class switching in antigen-specific B cells and diversified the antigen-specific B cell receptor (BCR) repertoire. This study demonstrates that mRNA vaccines encapsulated in tailored LNPs can be effectively delivered via an \"intramuscular prime and intranasal boost\" strategy, establishing an efficacious approach for mRNA mucosal immunization.",

Current therapies remain insufficient to address its multifactorial nature. RNA-based therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), microRNAs (miRNAs), and messenger RNAs (mRNAs), enable precise modulation of disease-relevant pathways. However, their clinical translation in AD is constrained by poor stability, immunogenicity, and limited delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Nanotechnology has enabled clinically successful RNA delivery in several non-CNS indications, yet nanoparticle (NP)-mediated nucleic acid delivery has not been evaluated in AD clinical trials to date. In this review, we integrate the emerging clinical landscape of CNS-directed RNA therapeutics with the preclinical evidence supporting NP-enabled delivery to AD-relevant targets and cell types, and we highlight design features that enhance stability, BBB transport, endosomal escape, and cellular selectivity. We further delineate the key translational requirements to advance these platforms from proof-of-concept to first-in-human studies, including scalable, reproducible manufacturing; rigorous safety and tolerability assessments; mitigation of innate immune activation; and consistent, quantifiable brain exposure and target engagement. Finally, we discuss next-generation strategies, such as multifunctional, stimulus-responsive nanocarriers and combinatorial RNA payloads, aimed at addressing AD heterogeneity and enabling durable, mechanism-based disease modification.",

Here, we established a Drosophila model of C9orf72 -associated dementia by expressing G4C2 repeats in mushroom body neurons (MBNs), a brain region critical for memory, locomotion, and sleep. Expression of 44X G4C2 repeats ((G4C2) 44X ) led to progressive axonal thinning, age-dependent accumulation of Repeat Associated Non-AUG (RAN) translated GR-GFP dipeptide repeat (DPR) puncta, premature nuclear-to-cytoplasmic mislocalization of endogenous TDP-43, increased caspase, reduced lifespan and a loss of presynaptic active zones. Behaviorally, (G4C2) 44X expression caused locomotor hyperactivity, altered spatial working memory, and fragmentation of sleep architecture in an age- and sex-dependent manner, recapitulating core features of FTD. Surprisingly, the shorter (G4C2) 12X repeat, traditionally considered a control, also produced detectable RAN translation and intermediate phenotypes in aging MBNs, suggesting that length- and tissue-associated factors modulate repeat toxicity. We further identified a repeat-length- and age-dependent reduction of the glypican Dally-like protein (Dlp) in (G4C2) 44X consistent with disrupted Wnt-related signaling linked to TDP-43 proteinopathies. Restoring Dlp expression in MBNs mitigated locomotor and working-memory alterations, and loss of presynaptic active zones. In contrast, axonal degeneration, TDP-43 mislocalization, and lifespan were not significantly improved by restoring Dlp, suggesting that multiple mechanisms contribute to G4C2-induced toxicity. Supporting our findings in Drosophila MBNs, a CRISPRi screen in TDP-43 knock-down iNeurons identified GPC6, a human ortholog of Dlp, as a significant contributor to TDP-43 dependent synaptic loss. Together, our findings reveal an aging-sensitive, circuit-specific model of C9orf72 -associated neurodegeneration and highlight roles for DPR accumulation and Dlp/GPC6 dependent synaptic loss in FTD pathomechanisms.",

Current treatments often face challenges including limited targeting efficacy and systemic side effects. To develop a novel targeted therapy for RA, this study constructed a functionalized extracellular vesicle (EV) system by engineering ginseng stems and leaves-derived EVs with hyaluronic acid (HA) modification and curcumin (Cur) loading (Cur@EVs-PH). Structurally, the EVs-PH drug-loaded nanoplatform integrates the remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of EVs with the prolonged circulation capacity conferred by PEG. This design further capitalizes on the targeting ability of HA, thereby providing a robust structural foundation for the efficient delivery of therapeutics to disease sites. Our results demonstrated that the designed system achieved enhanced inflammatory targeting through CD44 receptor-mediated accumulation and exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In the collagen-induced arthritis model, Cur@EVs-PH significantly alleviated joint swelling, reduced pathological scores and normalized immune organ indices. Mechanistic studies revealed that the therapeutic effects were mediated through suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promotion of macrophage M2 polarization. This integrated strategy combining natural EVs, targeted modification and active drug loading provides a promising platform for the treatment of RA and other inflammatory diseases.",

It is a major global health concern. Alzheimer's complexity and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limit effective disease-modifying treatments despite extensive research. The primary goal of conventional pharmacotherapies is to relieve symptoms; however, they frequently have low absorption, a short half-life, and peripheral adverse effects. The use of anti-Alzheimer medications in nanoparticles (NPs) is a potential remedy for these issues. Although many NPs are biocompatible and non-toxic, many are not biodegradable, making them unsuitable for CNS targeting. Chitosan (CS)-based NPs stand out among polymeric nanocarriers as stable, biodegradable delivery systems for central nervous system drugs. In this review, we examine the design, mechanisms of BBB penetration, drug-loading capacity, controlled-release behaviour, and therapeutic efficacy of CS-based delivery platforms, including nanoparticles, nanogels, lipid nanoparticles, polymeric micelles, nanoemulsions, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor-loaded systems. Furthermore, the benefits of CS-based systems, including improved brain bioavailability, reduced toxicity, intranasal delivery, and support for multifunctional and stimuli-responsive therapeutics, are highlighted.

They modulate immune responses, deliver functional molecules and influence disease progression. However, whether bacterial EVs can access the brain and functionally affect host cells remains unclear. In this study, we engineered Escherichia coli-derived EVs by electroporating Cre recombinase mRNA (Ec EVCre) and assessed their transport and functional delivery following intranasal administration. Using mT/mG reporter mice, we observed EV uptake in the olfactory epithelium and recombination-driven GFP expression in a subset of neurons in the olfactory bulb, providing proof-of-concept for the functional delivery of bacterial EV-associated mRNA into the brain. Single-cell RNA sequencing and imaging analyses of the olfactory regions revealed neuronal and immune cell subsets as key EV targets. Microfluidic biochip chamber assays with cultured sensory neurons demonstrated that EVs undergo retrograde axonal transport from neurite terminals to the soma via signalling endosomes. Pharmacological inhibition significantly impaired EV uptake, supporting the involvement of endocytic pathways. In addition to neuronal entry, we discovered that phagocytic cells, including neutrophils and macrophages, can engulf EVCre in the nasal mucosa and migrate into the brain, providing an alternative immune-mediated route for vesicle delivery. Together, these findings indicate that bacterial EVs exploit both neuronal and phagocytic pathways to deliver functional RNA cargo into the brain, providing novel insights into microbial access to the central nervous system and its implications for neuroimmune interactions.",

Conventional treatment strategies primarily focus on restoring coronary blood flow to ischemic myocardium; however, their ability to regenerate damaged cardiac tissue remains limited. In recent years, exosomes have emerged as a promising cell-free therapeutic approach for cardiac repair following AMI. Exosomes are nanosized extracellular vesicles secreted by various cell types that carry diverse bioactive molecules, including microRNAs, proteins, lipids, and signaling factors, which mediate intercellular communication and regulate multiple biological processes involved in myocardial healing. Emerging experimental and preclinical evidence suggests that exosome-based therapy may attenuate inflammation, reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis, enhance angiogenesis, modulate immune responses, and promote myocardial regeneration following ischemic injury. Compared with conventional stem cell therapy, exosomes offer several advantages, including lower immunogenicity, reduced risk of tumorigenicity, improved stability, and easier storage and handling. Furthermore, engineered exosomes and targeted delivery systems are being investigated to enhance therapeutic specificity and efficacy in cardiovascular diseases. In addition to their therapeutic potential, circulating exosomes are also being explored as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of AMI.

The thermoregulatory hypothesis, first proposed in the mid-twentieth century, was largely abandoned after the mid-century, when anthropological findings of climate-correlated variation seemed contradictory. Hypothesis: We propose that pneumatized skull regions form a three-component craniofacial biothermal system that maintains thermal stability in the ocular vitreous and vestibular endolymph, two avascular, temperature-sensitive structures that lack intrinsic thermoregulatory capacity. This represents a novel integration that explicitly links paranasal and mastoid pneumatization into a coordinated system that protects sensory organs, distinct from previous brain-cooling hypotheses. Mechanism: The system comprises: (1) passive thermal insulation via air spaces, providing ~15-fold greater thermal resistance than bone; (2) active cold protection via mucosal heat delivery (estimated 2-5 W capacity); and (3) active heat dissipation via evaporative cooling (estimated 0.3-0.5 W capacity). This architecture provides asymmetric protection, with cold buffering exceeding heat dissipation by approximately 5- to 15-fold, consistent with thermodynamic constraints and putative evolutionary priorities. Evidence: Preliminary observations consistent with this hypothesis include the anatomical proximity of pneumatized regions to the vitreous and labyrinth, intranasal selective brain cooling studies, and clinical observations after mastoidectomy showing preserved pressure buffering but reduced vestibular thermal insulation under extreme stimulation. Climate-correlated pneumatization patterns are consistent with bidirectional thermal adaptation. Implications: We present five falsifiable predictions that can be tested with thermographic imaging, pharmacological manipulation, and computational modeling. Validation could inform surgical planning, explain postoperative thermal-sensitivity symptoms, and provide evolutionary insights into craniofacial adaptation.",

This evidence-mapping review evaluates mucoadhesive biomaterial platforms as formulation-development tools for improving residence, release control, deposition reproducibility, and exposure interpretability in neuroactive intranasal delivery, using insomnia-relevant timing requirements as a stringent case for controlled onset and offset. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus were searched from 1 January 2008 to 30 April 2026. Seventeen primary intranasal platform studies were included; route-attribution credibility was high in five studies, moderate in five, low in six, and not assessable in one. Platform classes included in situ gelling depots, pre-formed gels, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid or vesicular carriers, hybrid nanoparticle-in-gel systems, and device-coupled dry powders. Key formulation variables were translated into development endpoints, including rheology, gelation, mucoadhesion, release kinetics, deposition, permeability, systemic leakage, and nasal tolerability. The proposed model-informed strategies are conceptual; no new physiologically based pharmacokinetic simulations were performed. Successful platforms should be judged by reproducible onset, controlled offset, bounded systemic exposure, and recovery-phase safety rather than by peak brain concentrations or targeting ratios alone.",

The development of targeted and biocompatible drug delivery systems is urgently needed to control pulmonary inflammatory cascades while minimizing systemic toxicity. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles offer a naturally safe and anti-inflammatory platform for therapeutic delivery. Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), a major bioactive compound from ginseng, possesses potent anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, whereas lemon-derived EVs (LEVs) exhibit intrinsic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we engineered a multifunctional, biocompatible drug delivery platform, GRb1@LEVs-cRGD, in which ginsenoside Rb1 is incorporated into and fused with LEVs to form hybrid bio-nanovesicles, while the vesicle surface is functionalized with cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides to target integrin \u03b1v\u03b23 highly expressed in inflamed pulmonary tissues, thereby enhancing site-specific delivery. In vitro and in vivo studies confirmed that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD effectively inhibited M1 macrophage polarization, suppressed inflammatory cascades, and preserved epithelial-endothelial integrity. Furthermore, exogenous cholesterol loading improved vesicle stability, maintained the pH gradient, and enhanced the loading efficiency of tigecycline and vancomycin by six-fold. In murine models of bacterial pneumonia induced by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, antibiotic-loaded GRb1@LEVs-cRGD efficiently accumulated at infection sites and exhibited synergistic anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Overall, this study demonstrates that GRb1@LEVs-cRGD is a safe, targeted, and multifunctional therapeutic platform with significant potential for ALI/ARDS treatment.",

In this study, hyaluronic acid-tyramine (HA-Tyr) was synthesized via horseradish peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide crosslinking and characterized as intranasal carrier of Rosmarinus officinalis and Mentha rotundifolia extracts. Physicochemical analyses confirmed rheological stability, injectability, and mucoadhesive capacity, together with swelling profiles suitable for nasal mucosa. The functionalization with natural extracts provided strong antioxidant activity, while water-holding capacity remained within physiologically acceptable limits. Both extracts were efficiently encapsulated and exhibited a biphasic release profile over 24\u00a0h, highlighting the influence of phytochemical composition on release behaviour. Among the extracts, HA-Tyr/Rosmarinus officinalis significantly protected immortalized human neuroblastoma cells from neurotoxin-induced toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner, reducing reactive oxygen species and nitrite production. Downregulating Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 and Caspase-1 while enhancing \u03b2-Nerve Growth Factor expression, the formulations showed a promising potential in supporting neuronal survival. In vivo validation in a Parkinsonian mouse model revealed that intranasal administration of HA-Tyr/Rosmarinus officinalis restored motor coordination, forelimb use, and exploratory behaviour, while reducing anxiety-like responses. Importantly, these functional improvements occurred in the absence of dopamine restoration, although a restored dopamine metabolism, with reduced catabolic degradation (modulatory effect on 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, DOPAC, production) was detected. In conclusion, neuroprotective and symptomatic effects were observed after HA-Tyr/Rosmarinus officinalis administration, supporting HA-Tyr hydrogels as promising mucoadhesive platform for intranasal delivery of neuroprotective compounds and bridging material innovation with translational potential.",

Effective drug delivery to the brain is largely constrained by the selective nature of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which limits therapeutic efficacy of conventional oral medications. Intranasal administration has emerged as a noninvasive and promising route for direct nose-to-brain transport, circumventing BBB restrictions. This review explores the potential of intranasal drug delivery as an alternative approach for targeted brain therapy in Alzheimer's disease. It comprehensively discusses the mechanisms of nasal absorption, physiological and formulation-related barriers, and the role of advanced nanocarrier platforms in overcoming these limitations. Emphasis is placed on recent innovations involving polymeric, lipid-based, and vesicular carriers, along with the incorporation of mucoadhesive and permeation-enhancing agents. The present focus is enhancing bioavailability, prolonging drug residence time, and minimizing systemic toxicity. Surface modifications of nanocarriers further facilitates mucosal adhesion and enables effective nose-to-brain transport of encapsulated therapeutic agents. However, clinical translation remains challenging due to interindividual variability in nasal physiology, scalability constraints, and regulatory complexities. Future progress will depend on the rational design of multifunctional nanocarriers, integration of mucoadhesive and stimuli-responsive components, and the use of precision-based formulation strategies.",

As orexin B sensitizes male but not female murine, nonhuman primate, and human dorsal root ganglion neurons and supradural orexin B/orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) signaling elicits migraine-like pain in na\u00efve male, but not female, mice we explored possible sexually dimorphic contributions of orexin B/OX2R to PTH. In mice of both sexes, mTBI-induced transient cephalic allodynia, a surrogate measure of APTH. After APTH resolution, allodynia was reinstated by exposure to normally innocuous stress or by inhalational delivery of a subthreshold concentration of umbellulone, a TRPA1 agonist, suggesting the expression of PPTH. In contrast to these nonselective stimuli, subthreshold supradural orexin B induced PPTH only in male mTBI mice. Intranasal delivery of a CRISPR/Cas9 plasmid to edit trigeminal OX2R expression prevented APTH and development of PPTH selectively in male mTBI mice. Daily oral suvorexant, a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA), beginning immediately after mTBI, prevented APTH as well as PPTH. Critically, starting suvorexant treatment after resolution of APTH also prevented stress- or umbellulone-induced PPTH. EEG/EMG-defined sleep architecture or immobility-defined sleep was not disrupted in this mTBI model suggesting that suvorexant benefits are unlikely related to sleep modulation. Our findings reveal a male-specific mechanism of PTH maintained by orexin B/OX2R signaling and suggest that approved DORAs may be beneficial in treating APTH and preventing transition to PPTH in men. Importantly, DORAs may also be effective in men with established PPTH.",

This study designed pure curcumin loaded lipid nanoparticle (CNP) with optimized brain-targeting delivery for depression therapy. Cur molecules first self-assembled into carrier-free drug nanoparticles. Subsequently, CNP were then prepared via thin-film dispersion and fully characterized in terms of particle size, PDI, DSC, XRD, TEM. The antidepressant effect of CNP was systematically investigated via in vitro and in vivo assays, including cellular uptake, LPS-induced stress model in BV2 cells, and in vivo CUMS depression model. CNP displayed uniform spherical morphology with an average size of 115.8 \u00b1 18.3 nm, PDI of 0.216 \u00b1 0.015 and zeta potential of -27.1 mV, along with high encapsulation efficiency (86.11 \u00b1 4.28%), drug loading (6.62 \u00b1 0.45%) and sustained release behavior. The cellular uptake efficiency of the CNP group reached 41.47 \u00b1 1.45%, which was more than double that of the Cur group (17.21 \u00b1 0.54%). In vitro studies showed that CNP not only rescued the viability of cells damaged by corticosterone and hydrogen peroxide but also exerted significantly enhanced anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in lipopolysaccharide induced cellular stress models. In vivo studies indicated that CNP alleviated depressive-like behaviors more effectively. CNP exhibits significantly enhanced antidepressant efficacy, thus providing a promising approach for developing brain-targeted therapeutics for MDD.",

However, conventional dopaminergic therapies remain limited by poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, rapid systemic metabolism, short half-life, peripheral toxicity, and dopamine oxidation-induced neurotoxicity. Nanomedicine-based drug delivery systems have emerged as promising strategies to overcome these limitations by enhancing dopamine stability, improving BBB transport, enabling controlled release, and facilitating targeted delivery to dopaminergic brain regions. This review comprehensively summarizes current advances in dopamine-targeted nanotherapeutics, including polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, dendrimers, inorganic nanoparticles, exosomes, and biomimetic vesicles. Particular emphasis is placed on the dual role of nanocarriers in both facilitating dopamine delivery and protecting dopamine from oxidative degradation and reactive oxygen species-associated toxicity. Among currently investigated platforms, polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based nanocarriers, and exosome-inspired vesicles appear particularly promising due to their ability to improve dopamine stability, facilitate controlled release, enhance BBB penetration, and enable targeted brain delivery. The review additionally discusses receptor-mediated targeting strategies, intranasal delivery approaches, translational barriers, manufacturing scalability, long-term safety considerations, and regulatory challenges associated with clinical implementation. Finally, emerging future directions involving AI-assisted nanocarrier engineering, precision-targeted delivery systems, and stimuli-responsive nanomedicine are highlighted as promising approaches for the development of next-generation therapies for neurodegenerative disorders.",

The first part of this review systematically collected and synthesized published evidence on IN administration across animal species, while the second part critically analysed the anatomical, pharmacological and technical factors that determine its success and limitations. Part I consisted a total of 110 eligible studies published between 1991 and 2025, encompassing dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, ruminants, birds and reptiles. IN delivery has been investigated for a range of purposes and produced clinically meaningful sedation, analgesia and drug reversal, often comparable to intramuscular administration but generally characterized by slower onset and greater variability among species. Despite encouraging and favourable results, IN delivery was not without limitations. Its effectiveness can be strongly influenced by species-specific nasal anatomy and physiology, formulation characteristics and dosing volume. Defensive reactions, poor tolerability, sneezing, nasopharyngeal irritations, hypersalivation or swallowing of the drug are frequently reported. Future progress requires species-specific case selection guidelines and dosing standards, pharmacokinetic validation and developing safe concentrated formulations. Transparent reporting and balanced assessment of both benefits and drawbacks are essential to ensure the safe, effective and ethically responsible integration of IN administration into veterinary anaesthesia and critical care practice.",

Recent studies suggest that treatment with mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles offers a promising cell-free strategy for mitigating neurodegeneration. In the present study, we investigated the effects of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles on dopaminergic neurons in a murine Parkinson's disease model and explored the underlying mechanisms related to mitochondrial impairment. A Parkinson's disease mouse model was established using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5- tetrahydropyridine-induced neurotoxicity, followed by the intranasal administration of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles and comprehensive behavioral and pathological assessments. To elucidate the mechanistic basis of any effects, we examined mitochondrial function and Homer protein homolog 3 (Homer3) expression in brain tissue. Mice with Homer3 knockdown were used to validate the role of Homer3 in the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicle administration significantly reduced motor dysfunction in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-induced Parkinson's disease mice by protecting dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles increased both mitochondrial number and function through Homer3 upregulation in Parkinson's disease mice. The therapeutic benefits of mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles in rescuing dopaminergic neurons were impaired by Homer3 knockdown. Collectively, these findings suggest that, at least in part, mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles ameliorate dopaminergic neuron damage via the Homer3-mediated restoration of mitochondrial function in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Our results highlight the neuroprotective role of mesenchymal stem cell- derived small extracellular vesicles in Parkinson's disease and provide new perspectives on their therapeutic potential.",

The therapeutic potential of SGLT-2 inhibitors like empagliflozin (EGZ) is constrained by poor brain bioavailability. Current study investigates the potential of EGZ-nanostructured lipid carrier (ENLC) for brain delivery via nasal route. The ENLC were prepared using hot melt emulsification technique followed by probe sonication and optimized using Box-Behnken design. ENLC were incorporated into poloxamer 407-chitosan in situ gel (ENPCG) to improve nasal retention, controlled release, and direct brain transport via olfactory and trigeminal uptake. ENPCG demonstrated a sustained drug release of 56.36\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.37\u00a0% and enhanced nasal permeation. Nasal kinetics revealed high Cmaxmucosa (48.2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.42\u00a0\u00b5g/cm2) relative to plain EGZ-suspension (15.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.7\u00a0\u00b5g/cm2) in goat nasal mucosa. ENPCG significantly improved cognitive memory in sporadic AD model, as confirmed by behavioural, biochemical, and histopathological assessments in Wistar rats. Pharmacokinetic study in Sprague Dawley rats revealed a 4.5-fold increase in AUC0-t of intranasal ENPCG (30.56\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.45\u00a0\u03bcg/mL*h) relative to intravenous ENLC (6.73\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.15\u00a0\u03bcg/mL*h).

Exo-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are currently hot topics in disease research. Owing to their naturally low immunogenicity, good biocompatibility, ability to penetrate the blood\u2012brain barrier (BBB), and engineered modifications, exos have significant advantages and possible applications in the treatment of nervous system diseases. Due to the serious harm of neurological diseases to human health, they have been widely studied by researchers. Exos can be administered in a variety of ways, including intranasal administration, intracranial administration, local stereotactic injection, and encapsulation in biomaterials, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, several requirements need to be met before exo-based therapies can be implemented, such as the standardization of isolation and purification techniques, an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action, and safety assessments and regulation for clinical translation. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the biogenesis, molecular composition, function, and delivery modes of exos and their therapeutic roles and mechanisms in neurological diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and stroke) and to discuss the current challenges and future perspectives to support ongoing research and clinical applications.",

However, the conditions under which these effects emerge, and the neurobiological mechanisms mediating them, remain incompletely characterised. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, searching Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science for experimental studies published between 2015 and 2026. Studies were eligible if they evaluated the effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive performance in rodent models and reported behavioural and/or neurobiological outcomes. Risk of bias was assessed using SYRCLE's tool for animal studies. Nineteen studies were included, comprising experiments rodents across healthy animals and models of neurodegeneration, metabolic insult, perinatal stress, and creatine biosynthesis deficiency. Creatine improved learning and memory in the majority of studies. The magnitude of cognitive benefits was moderated by route of administration, with intranasal delivery showing superior brain uptake and cognitive effects relative to oral supplementation, treatment duration, and sex. Mechanistically, cognitive improvements were associated with enhanced mitochondrial respiratory capacity, upregulation of synaptic plasticity proteins (CaMKII, PSD-95, BDNF) via CaMKII/CREB and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling, attenuation of neuroinflammation through NF-\u03baB suppression and STAT1 inhibition, and reduction of oxidative stress through CK-BB restoration. Preclinical evidence consistently supports a cognitive-enhancing role for creatine, mediated by a convergent set of energetic, synaptic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant mechanisms. Translating these findings to clinical applications will require brain-targeted delivery strategies, systematic consideration of sex as a biological variable, and mechanistically rigorous study designs.",

Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, showed potential in the treatment of glioblastoma. Many studies showed the synergistic activity of resveratrol and temozolomide against glioblastoma, but no analytical method for simultaneous estimation in a biological matrix is available till date. This study aimed to develop and validate a simple, rapid, and sensitive bioanalytical method using HPLC technique for simultaneous estimation of temozolomide and resveratrol in rat plasma and brain for pharmacokinetic study. Isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method using C18 column was used. Theophylline and caffeine were used as internal standards for Temozolomide and Resveratrol, respectively. The mobile phase methanol: 0.1% glacial acetic acid (30:70) with flow rate 1.0\u2009mL/min and 310-nm wavelength was used. The LOD for temozolomide and resveratrol in the plasma was 0.96 and 1.29\u2009\u03bcg/mL, respectively, whereas LOQ was 2.91 and 3.89\u2009\u03bcg/mL, respectively.

We evaluated whether non-invasive intranasal delivery of mesenchymal stem cell secretome can enhance recovery after TBI by modulating microglial DAM signaling. Adult C57BL/6 mice underwent moderate controlled cortical impact (CCI) TBI. Adipose Stem Cell-derived Concentrated Conditioned Media (ASC-CCM) (\u223c20\u202fng protein/day, four doses) was administered intranasally, while sham and TBI controls received saline. Cognitive and memory functions assessed at 7 and 30 days post-injury showed TBI mice with impairments in learning, working, and long-term memory, while ASC-CCM-treated TBI mice performed similar to sham. These functional deficits correlated with increased astrogliosis (GFAP) and apoptosis (TUNEL), both of which were attenuated by ASC-CCM. TBI induced a time-dependent increase in astrocyte-associated APOE in the ipsilateral peri-lesion area and TYROBP in activated microglia near the impact site; ASC-CCM treatment significantly reduced both markers. Transcriptomic analysis of peri-lesion tissue at days 7 and 30 confirmed robust upregulation of DAM-associated genes (APOE, TYROBP, TREM2) after TBI, which was mitigated by intranasal ASC-CCM. Consistent with these findings, TREM2 expression in ipsilateral CD11b\u202f+\u202fCD45high cells was markedly reduced following treatment. These data show that microglial DAM signaling is a modifiable neurochemical pathway after TBI, and that intranasal delivery of ASC-CCM reduces microglial activation and improves cognitive outcomes. This strategy potentially offers a translational path to a non-invasive therapeutic for acute and chronic TBI.",

However, the blood-brain barrier often limits their therapeutic effects. To address this issue, highly invasive drug administration routes, such as intracerebroventricular or intrathecal administration, can be used. In addition, intranasal (i.n.) administration is increasingly being recognized as a non-invasive route, although its application in humans is limited. Hence, we explored intratympanic (i.t.) administration as a novel, minimally invasive route for direct drug delivery to the CNS. The aim of this study was to develop a new administration route that enables efficient and comprehensive evaluation of CNS drug transport by employing cassette dosing. Using this approach, we assessed multiple low- and high-permeability drugs concurrently in rodents and non-human primates. Pharmacokinetics were evaluated in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissues to investigate the potential for enhanced CNS penetration. Furthermore, the effects of cetirizine, a second-generation histamine receptor antagonist, on spontaneous locomotor activity were examined following i.t. and intravenous (i.v.) administration. I.t. of low-permeable drugs such as cetirizine markedly increased their penetration into CSF and brain in both rats and monkeys. Pharmacologically, i.t. of cetirizine significantly decreased spontaneous locomotor activity in rats, whereas such effects were not observed following i.v..

Current therapeutic approaches remain ineffective in halting disease progression; therefore, the development of multi-targeted, low-immunogenicity therapeutic strategies with efficient brain delivery is of great significance. Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-derived exosomes) inherit the immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, and tissue-repairing properties of MSCs, and possess good biocompatibility and the potential to cross the blood-brain barrier. Studies have shown that MSC-derived exosomes exert therapeutic effects by modulating neuroinflammation, promoting neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, reducing A\u03b2 deposition and tau pathology, and regulating multiple AD-related signaling pathways. At the same time, the molecular composition and functions of MSC-derived exosomes derived from different tissues exhibit heterogeneity, and their therapeutic efficacy is influenced by factors such as the source cells, culture conditions, preparation processes, and administration methods. In recent years, strategies such as engineered surface modification, functional molecule loading, three-dimensional culture, microenvironment pretreatment, large-scale production, as well as intranasal administration and biomaterial delivery systems have provided new directions for enhancing the brain-targeting ability, stability, yield, and therapeutic efficacy of MSC-derived exosomes.

The autophagy-lysosome system provides essential control of proteotoxic stress and its failure can lead to initiation of apoptosis. However, in aging and neurodegenerative diseases apoptosis is insufficient to account for all neuronal death, and several different cell death types have been reported in these contexts. Here we show that karyoptosis, a distinct form of cell death, can be induced by proteotoxic stress and then develops through nuclear degeneration and cellular expulsion of nuclear material. We establish that karyoptosis is regulated by the p38 kinase signalling pathway, which controls stability of the nuclear lamina protein LaminB1 via direct phosphorylation. We demonstrate that karyoptosis affects neurons in models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD) pathology. Finally, we identify karyoptotic features in post-mortem frontal cortex of FTD and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Together these findings characterise a form of cell death directly linked to proteotoxic stress and nuclear lamina stability that is associated with neurodegeneration.",

In this study, we investigated the brain biodistribution and dose-dependent effects of intranasally administered ADMSC-EVs in female APP/PS1 mice, with age-matched wild-type mice and vehicle-treated transgenic mice serving as controls. EV biodistribution was assessed using PKH26 labeling, cognitive performance was evaluated using the Morris water maze, Y-maze, and novel object recognition tests, and hippocampal amyloid pathology and plasma AD-related biomarkers were analyzed. Intranasally delivered ADMSC-EVs rapidly reached multiple brain regions, including the hippocampus, improved learning and memory performance, and reduced hippocampal amyloid-\u03b2 1-42 (A\u03b242) deposition and plaque burden. These effects followed a nonlinear dose-response pattern, with reduced efficacy at low doses and no additional benefits at high doses. Notably, partial behavioral and pathological benefits persisted after treatment cessation.

Repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of the expanded repeat generated dipeptide repeat proteins (DPRs), which disrupted multiple cellular processes and contributed to neurodegeneration. Emerging evidence indicated that disease pathogenesis involved both gain-of-function (GOF) and loss-of-function (LOF) mechanisms. DPR-mediated GOF toxicity induced ribosomal dysfunction, nucleolar stress, proteostatic impairment, and neuronal injury, whereas C9ORF72 LOF disrupted lysosomal and autophagic pathways in microglia, impairing the immune homeostasis. Neuronal injury further promoted the release of damage-associated signals that triggered secondary microglial activations and chronic neuroinflammations. This review summarized current knowledge of DPR biology, microglial dysfunction, and their contributions to disease progression in C9ORF72-associated ALS/FTD. Therapeutic strategies targeting repeated RNA, DPR productions, proteostasis, autophagy, and neuroinflammatory pathways were also discussed.

Oral melatonin (MEL) suffers from poor brain delivery. Intranasal administration bypasses the blood-brain barrier, but rapid mucociliary clearance shortens drug retention, and MEL poor water solubility limits its nasal dissolution. Traditional in situ gels have \"gelation-first, spreading-second\" defects, causing uneven distribution. Herein, we developed a two-step sequential ion-triggered in situ gel combined with MEL liposomes (MEL-Lips-Gel) to enhance solubility, achieve instant uniform coating, and prolong retention for efficient nose-to-brain delivery. Methods: MEL-Lips were dispersed in alginate (first component) and calcium gluconate served as the second component. After sequential spray, the two components mix and form an ion-crosslinked gel. Rheology, in vivo fluorescence imaging, in vitro release, open-field/sucrose preference tests, and H&E staining were performed. Results: MEL-Lips showed uniform size and good encapsulation. The sequential system achieved instant widespread spreading and rapid gelation, significantly prolonged nasal retention, enabled sustained brain delivery, and reversed insomnia-induced hyperactivity and anxiety-like behaviors more effectively than oral MEL, intranasal MEL solution, liposomes alone, or non-liposomal gel, with good nasal safety. Conclusions: This sequential ion-triggered liposome-in-gel strategy synergistically overcomes rapid clearance (via gel) and poor solubility (via liposomes), enhancing nose-to-brain delivery of melatonin and providing a promising platform for insomnia therapy.",

Given that a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia often results from interplay between multiple underlying neuropathologic co-morbidities, previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of clinically diagnosed AD are restricted in their ability to translate genetic associations to potential targeted therapeutics. The current study seeks to address these limitations by presenting the largest GWAS to date (n\u2009=\u200912,509) of neuropathologic hallmarks of AD and AD related dementias (ADRDs). We further performed a candidate-variant analysis using loci previously identified in GWAS of clinically diagnosed AD dementia and Parkinson's disease (PD). Finally, we conducted heritability and genetic correlation analyses using linkage disequilibrium (LD) score regression. We found broad genome-wide significant associations with APOE across AD and ADRDs but not cerebrovascular disease and vascular brain injury. We further identified 12 significant loci across 10 neuropathologic phenotypes, including 5 loci previously implicated in GWAS of clinical AD and ADRDs (variants on BIN1, PICALM/ EED, TMEM106B, GRN, and SNCA/ SNCA-AS1) and 7 novel genome-wide associations (variants on EPHA5, PSMG1, LINC00276, VAPA, LINC00290, DOCK4 and SLAIN2/ SLC10A4). Our analysis of AD and PD clinical candidate variants demonstrated several that were associated with AD neuropathologic change and Lewy body disease, as well as substantial overlap with neuropathologic lesions other than the primary neuropathologic hallmarks of these diseases. Heritability analyses demonstrated heritability that was high for amyloid plaques (78%) relative to prior clinical AD heritability analyses, intermediate for TDP-43 inclusions (41%), and low for remaining AD and ADRD pathologic features. This study underscores the importance of investigating the underlying neuropathologic hallmarks of AD and ADRDs as a step toward refining the translation of genetic associations to biomarker interpretation and development of targeted therapeutics.",

Stromal cell-derived factor-1\u03b1 (SDF-1\u03b1), a chemokine with neuroprotective properties, remains underexplored as a therapeutic agent for PD. This study investigates the efficacy of intranasal SDF-1\u03b1 administration in mitigating motor deficits, gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, and neuroinflammation, and its concurrent effects on the gut microbiota in an MPTP-induced PD mouse model. Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into vehicle, MPTP, and MPTP\u00a0+\u00a0SDF-1\u03b1 groups. Behavioral assessments, including the rotarod test and grip strength test, demonstrated that SDF-1\u03b1 significantly attenuated MPTP-induced motor impairments, including bradykinesia and coordination deficits. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that SDF-1\u03b1 restored tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (TH+) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), indicating robust dopaminergic neuroprotection. Furthermore, SDF-1\u03b1 ameliorated GI dysfunction by reducing intestinal permeability, as measured by FITC-dextran assay, and improving gut motility, as assessed by Evans blue transit test. Mechanistically, SDF-1\u03b1 suppressed nigrostriatal inflammation by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) while elevating anti-inflammatory markers (IL-4, IL-10). Activation of astrocytes (GFAP+) in MPTP-treated mice was reduced to near-control levels following SDF-1\u03b1 administration. Gut microbiota analysis via 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that SDF-1\u03b1 restored both \u03b1- and \u03b2-diversity, counteracting MPTP-induced dysbiosis. Notably, SDF-1\u03b1 reversed the depletion of Akkermansia, a keystone genus associated with mucosal integrity and barrier function. These findings demonstrate that intranasal SDF-1\u03b1 concurrently attenuates motor and gastrointestinal deficits, nigrostriatal neuroinflammation, intestinal barrier disruption, and gut microbiota dysbiosis in the MPTP mouse model.

Current pharmacological treatments, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), face limitations, including delayed therapeutic onset, systemic side effects, and poor permeability across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To overcome these challenges, intranasal NE (NE) drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing drug bioavailability and facilitating direct nose-to-brain transport. Methods A comprehensive review of recent advancements in NE-based drug delivery for MDD was conducted, focusing on formulation strategies, pharmacokinetic improvements, and therapeutic outcomes. Studies evaluating the efficacy of NE formulations for delivering antidepressants, antipsychotics, and natural compounds, such as curcumin and resveratrol, were analyzed. The role of mucoadhesive agents like chitosan in enhancing nasal retention and drug absorption was also explored. Results NE formulations demonstrated superior drug delivery to the CNS, bypassing the BBB and reducing systemic toxicity. Preclinical and clinical studies indicate enhanced therapeutic efficacy, increased drug concentration at target sites, and improved patient compliance. The inclusion of mucoadhesive agents further optimized nasal retention, prolonging drug absorption and enhancing therapeutic effects. Additionally, NEs mitigated hepatic first-pass metabolism, leading to lower dosing requirements and reduced side effects. Discussion Nanoemulsion-based intranasal delivery presents a promising strategy for treating MDD, offering physiological and pharmacological advantages over oral routes. By bypassing the blood-brain barrier, these systems enable rapid and targeted brain delivery, enhancing drug efficacy. The nanoscale size improves solubility and absorption of poorly water-soluble compounds like curcumin and resveratrol. Incorporation of mucoadhesive agents such as chitosan further enhances nasal retention and drug uptake. Despite encouraging preclinical results, challenges remain in translating this approach clinically. Conclusion Intranasal NE-based drug delivery presents a transformative strategy for treating MDD and other CNS disorders. By integrating nanoscale formulation approaches with tailored pharmacokinetics, this system offers improved drug efficacy, safety, and patient adherence. Future research should focus on optimizing formulations, ensuring long-term stability, and advancing clinical translation for broader CNS applications.",

The current study reports the development and evaluation of an intranasal (IN) riluzole-loaded mucoadhesive nanoemulsion (RLZ-MNE) to enhance nose-to-brain delivery and therapeutic efficacy in TBI. The optimized RLZ-MNE exhibited a mean globule size of 21.24\u202f\u00b1 0.5\u202fnm and spherical morphology. The formulation showed nasal-compatible pH and excellent spreading behavior, as reflected by a reduced contact angle (30.691\u202f\u00b1 0.1\u202f\u00b0). Ex vivo permeation studies depicted significantly enhanced flux (10.98\u202f\u00b1 0.79 \u00b5g/cm2/h) and permeability coefficient (3.66\u202f\u00d7 10-3 \u00b1 0.0003 cm/h) compared to pristine drug, with histological evidence of preserved mucosal integrity. In vitro studies in H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cells confirmed neuroprotection, evidenced by improved cell viability, reduced nitrosative stress and reactive oxygen species, and restoration of mitochondrial membrane potential. Pharmacokinetic evaluation revealed a \u223c2.8- and \u223c3.85-fold enhancement in brain Cmax following RLZ-MNE IN rather than RLZ-IN and RLZ-IV, respectively. Additionally, enhanced N2B transport was confirmed by increased drug targeting efficiency (%DTE, \u223c5.4-fold) and direct transport percentage (%DTP, \u223c4.81-fold) compared to RLZ-IN. In vivo, IN administration of RLZ-MNE at high and low doses significantly reduced neurological severity scores (\u20536-fold and 7.6-fold vs. CCI), improved motor coordination in the rota-rod test (*p\u202f<\u202f0.05), enhanced preference index (****p\u202f<\u202f0.0001; **p\u202f<\u202f0.01), and discrimination index (*p\u202f<\u202f0.05) relative to the CCI group. RLZ-MNE markedly decreased brain water content (***p\u202f<\u202f0.001), indicating attenuation of cerebral edema. The pro-inflammatory cytokines were also considerably reduced compared to the CCI. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated the downregulation of p-NF-\u03baB expression, and RT-PCR results depicted the restoration of EAAT2 mRNA expression following treatment with RLZ-MNE. Histopathological evaluation further corroborated these findings by demonstrating reduced lesion severity and preservation of neuronal architecture in RLZ-MNE-treated groups. Overall, RLZ-MNE demonstrated superior nasal permeation, antioxidant capacity, and neuroprotective efficacy, highlighting its promise as an efficient IN brain delivery approach for the management of TBI.",

However, the exponential growth of literature in this domain presents challenges in grasping the holistic research trajectory and identifying emerging hotspots. This study conducted a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 4009 publications retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) spanning from 2000 to 2025. Tools including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R-bibliometrix were employed to map spatiotemporal trends, collaborative networks, and keyword evolution. The analysis reveals a robust upward trend in global research output, predominantly driven by China and the United States. Keyword clustering identified 5 major research sub-domains: Alzheimer's disease, Oxytocin (behavioral/psychiatric applications), Stroke and Neuroinflammation, Brain Tumors, and Nanoparticles. Burst detection analysis elucidates a distinct paradigm shift in scientific focus: early investigations prioritized mucosal absorption mechanisms and tolerance, the focus subsequently transitioned to specific therapeutic agents (e.g., insulin, oxytocin), and most recently, the field has been dominated by the optimization of delivery vectors, specifically lipid-based nanoparticles and exosomes. While nanotechnology has become the current technological frontier for enhancing brain targeting, a critical gap remains between promising preclinical results and clinical translation. Future research must prioritize the development of biomimetic delivery systems and highly predictive translational models to bridge the divide between bench and bedside. This review provides a strategic roadmap for researchers to navigate current trends and address the barriers hindering clinical application.",

Oxytocin (OXT) supports socioemotional adaptation, yet intranasal OXT yields supraphysiological exposure and mixed results. The probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) increases endogenous oxytocin levels in rodents, suggesting that it may enhance OXT signaling via gut-brain pathways in humans. We designed a proof-of-concept trial to test whether postpartum L. reuteri improves early mother-infant bonding and maternal mental health, impulse control, and emotion recognition. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, mothers aged \u226518\u00a0years at elevated PPD risk (history of depression, prior PPD, and/or increased prenatal depressive symptoms) received 6\u00a0weeks of once-daily L. reuteri or placebo, stratified by delivery mode (vaginal/Cesarean section). The primary endpoint is mother-infant bonding quality at Week 6; secondary endpoints include maternal mental health, impulse control, and emotion recognition at Week 6. Salivary OXT at Week 2 serves as a mechanistic endpoint. Forty-six participants (mean age\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0SD: 34.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.5\u00a0years) were enrolled and randomized; 38 (82.6%) completed the Week-6 visit. Baseline characteristics are reported. This trial evaluates whether a lactation-compatible L. reuteri intervention targeting endogenous OXT improves early mother-infant bonding and maternal well-being. Findings will inform feasibility, safety, and effect size estimates, clarify OXT's mechanistic role in PPD pathophysiology, and guide development of microbiome-based therapeutics for perinatal mental health.

        "42400730": "ID: 42400730\nTitle: Neuroprotective potential of resveratrol in Parkinson, Huntington, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis: a comprehensive review.\nAbstract: Resveratrol shows neuroprotective effects in preclinical studies across a number of neurodegenerative illnesses, including Parkinson's disease (PD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Huntington's disease (HD), and it enhances mitochondrial function through stimulation of the AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1\u03b1 pathway, thereby improving mitochondrial oxidative capacity and ATP generation. The natural polyphenol lowers \u03b1-synuclein accumulation and affects autophagy; both markers of PD. Combining nano\u2011resveratrol formulations with L\u2011DOPA has shown greater therapeutic efficacy in animal models (MPTP mouse), while co\u2011administration with EGCG has shown synergistic neuroprotection in vitro (SH\u2011SY5Y cells). These combination strategies offer potential advantages in neuroprotection and symptom alleviation while minimizing adverse drug effects. Resveratrol activates SIRT1 and AMPK signaling in preclinical models, enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis, lowering apoptosis, and restoring cellular resilience. The effectiveness of various models and dosages varies. The primary mechanism by which resveratrol promotes neuronal survival and remyelination in multiple sclerosis is through SIRT1 activation, which does not directly reduce inflammation. As innovative delivery systems, intranasal nanoparticles and exosomes produced from macrophages have shown improved CNS targeting accuracy. Resveratrol slows down neurodegeneration and improves the prognosis of HD by improving motor function and stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis in addition to activating neuroprotective ERK signaling. All of these results point to resveratrol's several pathways as a strong contender for neurodegenerative disease adjunctive treatment. The current evidence base is insufficient to support clinical use of resveratrol for any of the four diseases. Further rigorous preclinical studies (including TDP-43 models for ALS, SIRT1 knockout studies, and human-feasible dosing) and well-designed clinical trials with pharmacokinetic endpoints are required before any clinical recommendations can be made.",

Here, we report an endogenous-metabolite-inspired lipid design strategy in which biogenic polyamines, including agmatine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine and spermine, were conjugated with oleic acid to generate polyamine-oleic acid lipids for mRNA delivery. Among these candidates, agmatine-oleic acid (Agm-oa) showed the best overall performance, forming LNPs with high mRNA encapsulation efficiency, uniform particle size distribution and robust in vitro transfection activity. Agm-oa displayed behavior distinct from that of classical ionizable lipids, with strong mRNA association likely mediated by its guanidinium-containing headgroup through electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Beyond its delivery function, Agm-oa retained bioactivity associated with its agmatine-derived headgroup. Notably, agmatine and other bioactive metabolites released during Agm-oa degradation may suppress nitric oxide (NO) generation in macrophages while enhancing NO production in endothelial cells, suggesting that Agm-oa LNPs may confer anti-inflammatory and vascular protective effects following LNP decomposition. Moreover, Agm-oa LNPs-mediated adenine base editor delivery achieved efficient on-target editing at the PCSK9 locus. In hypercholesterolemic mice, Agm-oa LNPs enabled effective in vivo mRNA delivery and significant reduction of circulating LDL-C. Importantly, Agm-oa LNPs demonstrated a highly favorable safety profile compared to the benchmark formulations, with significantly lower serum LDH and IL-6 levels and minimal immunogenicity, alongside no detectable hepatotoxicity after repeated administration. Therefore, Agm-oa LNPs represent a safe, well-tolerated platform for nucleic acid delivery, with intrinsic bioactivity that may synergistically enhance therapeutic performance.",

Interestingly, the natural pathology of this pathogen originates from nasopharyngeal colonization, disseminates into systemic bacteremia, and ultimately breaches the meninges. Inspired by this sequential invasion, we hypothesized that administering vancomycin directly at the exact starting point via a nasal spray could achieve a simultaneous \"three-in-one\" eradication of all infection stages. To realize this goal and overcome the bottleneck of nasal delivery, we developed a vancomycin nasal spray using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a viscosity modifier. By systematically tuning the formulation viscosity, we achieved a synchronous optimization of the macroscopic spray morphology and microscopic droplet behavior. This aerodynamic balance minimized premature droplet impaction at the anterior nasal valve and prevented excessive gravitational settling in the main nasal meatus. Quantitative analysis in a 3D-printed human nasal cast demonstrated that the optimized formulation F4 maximized target site coverage, achieving a total nasal meatus deposition of 2491.7 \u03bcg and a peak olfactory deposition fraction of 5.06%. The optimized spray increased cerebrospinal fluid bioavailability by 2.93-fold and drastically reduced peripheral renal exposure by 74.93% compared to intravenous injection. In a pneumococcal infection rat model, the intranasal therapy demonstrated superior multidimensional bactericidal efficacy, clearing 89.81% of the local nasopharyngeal colonies, 97.11% of the systemic bacteremia, and 93.83% of the intracerebral bacterial load. This robust pathogen clearance was accompanied by the prompt resolution of localized neuroinflammation, systemic procalcitonin levels, and circulating leukocyte abnormalities. Ultimately, this aerodynamically engineered formulation provides an anatomically inspired and highly effective intervention paradigm for managing complex central nervous system infections.",

This manuscript explores the pivotal role of autophagy impairment in AD pathogenesis, with a specific focus on the AMPK/mTOR signaling axis as a primary regulatory pathway. Findings revealed that while mTOR overactivation suppresses autophagic flux and promotes the buildup of toxic protein aggregates, the activation of AMPK serves to restore homeostatic degradation processes. The review highlights that various pharmacological agent including rapamycin, metformin, trehalose, and curcumin, as well as repurposed drugs like lithium and statins can effectively enhance autophagy to ameliorate cognitive decline and neuroinflammation. Furthermore, herbal formulations such as Danggui Shaoyao San and phytoconstituents like Icariin demonstrate significant neuroprotective potential by modulating these same molecular pathways. Targeting autophagy represents a translationally viable approach for combating AD progression, with drug repurposing offering a time-efficient and cost-effective strategy. To advance these findings, future research should prioritize large-scale clinical trials to validate the efficacy of autophagy-inducing agents in human subjects. Additionally, investigating synergistic combinations of traditional bioactives with synthetic drugs and utilizing innovative delivery systems, such as intranasal nanotechnology-based platforms to bypass the blood-brain barrier, represents a promising frontier for developing effective, multi-targeted treatments against AD.",

A novel blocking peptide (seq: KRKKSRYKSWSVYVG) which binds with high affinity for toxic amyloid beta oligomers implicated in the early stages of the disease pathogenesis, has shown promising therapeutic potential. To overcome the challenges of brain drug delivery, nanoparticles combined with a nose-to-brain delivery approach were used to enhance brain biodistribution and drug delivery efficiency. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of using these nanoparticles to deliver the blocking peptide to the brain. Nanoparticles composed of polylactic acid and poloxamer P188 were synthesized and successfully functionalised with surface-adsorbed blocking peptide, exhibiting physicochemical characteristics suitable for nose-to-brain delivery. The nanoparticles preserved the blocking peptide therapeutic activity against amyloid beta aggregation and, in addition, protected it from enzymatic degradation. Functional cellular evaluation showed biocompatibility of the nanoparticle-blocking peptide compound and potential internalization by neuronal cells. Importantly, in vivo experiments demonstrated the successful delivery of the nanoparticles from the nasal cavity to the brain, representing a significant step forward in targeted brain delivery. Nanoparticles functionalised with an anti-amyloid beta aggregation peptide successfully reached the brain following intranasal administration, suggesting their potential as a therapeutic strategy against the Alzheimer's disease.",

One of its core pathologies involves energy metabolism disruption and oxidative stress resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction. Traditional drugs struggle to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), while the nasal-brain drug delivery system offers a novel approach for achieving direct brain access. Chitosan, a biodegradable natural polymer with strong mucosal adhesion properties, has been extensively utilized in recent years to construct nanogel carriers. This approach enhances drug retention and absorption in the nasal epithelium, enabling targeted delivery to the brain via the olfactory or trigeminal nerve pathways. This paper provides a systematic review of research progress on chitosan nanogel-based naso-cerebral drug delivery systems targeting mitochondrial dysfunction, focusing on their molecular mechanisms in improving mitochondrial energy metabolism, scavenging excess reactive oxygen species (ROS), suppressing neuroinflammation, and regulating apoptosis. Additionally, this paper analyzes the design principles of various modification strategies-such as triphenylphosphine (TPP) modification, pH/ROS responsiveness, and drug-loaded nanozyme complexes-along with their efficacy validation in AD models. It further explores the future development trends of chitosan nanogel-mediated multi-target intervention and smart-responsive nasal-brain delivery systems, offering new directions for precision treatment of AD.",

Among these DPRs, arginine-containing proteins, poly-GR and poly-PR, are toxic in the nervous system, but whether DPRs in skeletal muscle contribute to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) pathogenesis is unclear. Here, we show that muscle-restricted expression of poly-GR drives motor deficits in mice, including muscle atrophy and neuromuscular junction (NMJ) deficits. Poly-GR in muscle interacted with the NMJ key organizer MuSK and promoted MuSK degradation, disrupting postsynaptic structure and impairing neuromuscular transmission. Importantly, a MuSK agonist antibody (X-17) stabilized NMJs and rescued neuromuscular transmission. Moreover, poly-GR in muscle activated the integrated stress response (ISR), elevating eIF2\u03b1 phosphorylation and broadly suppressing protein translation. ISR inhibition with ISRIB restored translation and MuSK protein levels and ameliorated both muscle atrophy and NMJ deficits. These findings demonstrate that skeletal muscle actively contributes to C9orf72-ALS pathology. Targeting muscle with ISRIB offers a therapeutic strategy to preserve motor function in C9orf72-ALS.",

Aluminum exposure induces oxidative stress, hippocampal inflammation, and cognitive decline. Minocycline exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties; however, its therapeutic translation is limited by systemic delivery constraints. Adult rats were exposed to chronic AlCl\u2083 and treated with intranasal Lip@min. A preliminary pilot study defined the optimal therapeutic dose. Oxidative stress markers (MDA, NO, SOD, CAT, GPx, GSH), pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, MCP-1), iNOS expression, NF-\u03baB nuclear immunoreactivity, and NLRP3 levels were assessed. Histopathological analysis of CA1 neuronal density and behavioral evaluation using Y-maze and novel object recognition (NOR) tests were performed. AlCl\u2083 exposure induced marked redox collapse, activation of NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 signaling, elevated cytokine production, CA1 neuronal degeneration, and cognitive impairment. Intranasal Lip@min significantly reduced oxidative stress, suppressed NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and NLRP3 expression, and attenuated pro-inflammatory mediator levels. Structural preservation of CA1 neurons was accompanied by significant improvement in working and recognition memory. Dose optimization identified 1\u00a0mg/kg as the optimal balance between efficacy and pulmonary safety. Intranasal liposomal minocycline mitigates aluminum-induced neurodegeneration by modulating the redox-NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 inflammatory axis, leading to structural and functional recovery. These findings support nose-to-brain nano-delivery as a promising strategy for targeting inflammasome-driven neuroinflammatory pathology.",

In Parkinson's disease (PD), degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra depletes striatal DA, making dopaminergic restoration a central therapeutic target. Because DA does not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), treatment relies on its precursor L-DOPA. Intranasal (IN) administration offers a non-invasive alternative: it enables rapid absorption, avoids hepatic first-pass metabolism, and provides partial brain access via nose-to-brain pathways, positioning IN-DA as a potential tool to directly influence central dopaminergic function. This review integrates current knowledge on IN-DA. We first examine nasal anatomy, the biological and physicochemical variables governing IN delivery, and the mechanisms of nose-to-brain transport, followed by a focused synthesis of IN-DA findings. Preclinical evidence shows that IN-DA and IN-L-DOPA increase extracellular DA levels and turnover in the striatum, with IN-DA appearing to enhance dopaminergic tone through presynaptic uptake and storage. Behaviorally, IN-DA produces state-dependent improvements across cognitive, emotional, and social domains, particularly in neuropsychiatric rodent models. Although nanoparticle-based DA formulations are being developed primarily to improve delivery efficiency for PD therapy, emerging evidence suggests that IN-DA may serve more broadly as a neuromodulatory approach for disorders involving catecholamine dysregulation.",

Glioblastoma-derived exosomes (Exos) have been demonstrated to enhance angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions, but their reparative potential in non-tumor ischemic microenvironments remain unclear. Moreover, free Exos are limited by rapid clearance, poor lesion retention, and uncontrolled release. Herein, we prepared an injectable chitosan hydrogel loaded with A172 cell-derived Exos (H-A-Exos) for intranasal delivery and evaluated its therapeutic effects in a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. In vitro, A-Exos facilitated endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, while inhibiting NVU cell apoptosis and reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. When loaded within an injectable chitosan hydrogel, A-Exos exhibited enhanced retention and sustained release, resulting in improved accumulation in the ischemic infarct area following intranasal administration. Compared to the model group, H-A-Exos significantly improved behavioral recovery, as evidenced by a reduced modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS), and decreased cerebral infarct volume (13.02\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.01%), showing superior efficacy to free A-Exos and Nimodipine (NMDP). Mechanistically, H-A-Exos upregulated eNOS, Bcl-2, VEGF and CD31 expression, thereby promoting vascular regeneration and NVU remodeling. Thus, these findings confirm the effective pro-angiogenic and reparative roles of A-Exos in a non-tumor ischemic microenvironment and demonstrate that intranasal H-A-Exos represents a promising therapeutic strategy for restoring NVU homeostasis and enhancing revascularization following ischemic stroke, underscoring their innovative therapeutic potential.",

Due to its low druggability profile and to avoid detrimental side effects, a brain-targeted formulation is required. Nanocarriers targeting the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with a shuttle peptide, such as peptide-22, or enabling direct nose-to-brain delivery were considered as valuable approaches. This study aimed to compare two types of lipid-based nanocarriers and determine the best formulation for intravenous (IV) or intranasal (IN) administration. Tegaserod-loaded nanoemulsions and liposomes were successfully developed, improving the solubilization of tegaserod in injectable formulations. Their properties were optimized for the IV route, and the two formulations were compared in terms of granulometric properties, stability, stealth properties, and transport across a human model of the human BBB. Based on these evaluations, peptide-22-decorated tegaserod-loaded nanoemulsions were the most promising for IV administration. In addition, tegaserod-loaded nanoemulsions or liposomes were incorporated in a gelling formulation with properties optimized for the IN route, focusing on gelation temperature, osmolarity, and pH. Due to its rheological profile and behavior at room temperature, gel-embedded liposomes emerged as the most suitable formulation for the IN route. The successful development of these nanocarriers will facilitate further preclinical evaluation of tegaserod in Alzheimer's disease.",

Despite its high prevalence and association with oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neurological deficits, no effective brain-targeted pharmacotherapy has yet been approved for TBI management. Herein, we report an intranasal (IN) candesartan-loaded mucoadhesive nanoemulsion (CND-MNE) designed to enhance nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery and therapeutic efficacy in TBI. The optimized CND-MNE exhibited a mean globule size of 20.98\u2009\u00b1\u20090.60\u00a0nm, spherical morphology, nasal-compatible pH, favourable spreading behaviour, enhanced flux and preserved mucosal integrity. CND-MNE revealed a 2.16- and 3.09-fold enhancement in brain Cmax compared with IN and intravenous suspensions (CND-SUS IN and CND-SUS IV), respectively. Additionally, enhanced N2B transport was confirmed by increased drug targeting efficiency (%DTE, 1.57-fold) and direct transport percentage (1.07-fold) compared to CND-SUS IN. In vivo, CND-MNE at high and low doses (HD, LD) reduced neurological severity scores (\u20534.8-fold and 4.0-fold), improved motor coordination [*P\u2009<\u20090.05 (HD)], spatial memory (****P\u2009<\u20090.0001, HD and LD), and recognition memory [*P\u2009<\u20090.05 (HD)] in the C57BL/6 controlled cortical impact model.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted growing interest as therapeutic vehicles owing to their inherent capacity to bypass the blood-brain barrier and deliver complex biological cargo to the central nervous system. Here, we examined whether large EVs (LEVs) derived from microglia with stable Sirtuin-2 knockdown (SIRT2-KD) confer the neuroprotective effects associated with SIRT2 inhibition. LEVs harvested from SIRT2-KD microglia were administered intranasally to APP/PS1 mice. We assessed microglial uptake of LEVs, along with subsequent changes in cellular metabolism, migration toward amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) plaques, phagocytic activity, and downstream pathological and behavioral outcomes. Proteomic and acetylomic profiling were employed to characterize the molecular cargo of LEVs-SIRT2-KD. LEVs-SIRT2-KD were readily internalized by microglia in vivo following intranasal delivery. Uptake of these vesicles markedly enhanced microglial bioenergetics, driving coordinated upregulation of both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. This metabolic shift was accompanied by improved microglial recruitment to A\u03b2 plaques and increased phagocytic clearance. Consequently, treated mice showed reduced A\u03b2 plaque deposition, restored synaptic integrity, and reversal of cognitive deficits. Proteomic and acetylomic analyses revealed that LEVs-SIRT2-KD are selectively enriched in proteins and acetylation modifications linked to energy metabolism and phagocytic function, offering a mechanistic basis for the observed metabolic reprogramming. Together, these results identify LEVs as a critical vesicle subtype mediating the effects of SIRT2 knockdown and support a cell-free therapeutic strategy for AD centered on EVs-driven metabolic reprogramming of microglia.",

This discovery suggested that RNA transcribed from mammalian telomeres, termed TERRA, could generate RAN products. Indeed, two dipeptide repeat proteins can be produced: repeating arginine-valine (VR) and repeating glycine-leucine (GL). Both VR and GL form amyloid aggregates, and VR was observed to be expressed in cells with elevated TERRA, including a human osteosarcoma line. VR undergoes a change in aggregation state during mitosis, where it becomes dispersed, binds ribosomes, and can depress translation, possibly playing a regulatory role in the cell cycle. The discovery that RAN translation can occur on telomeric RNAs has opened new connections between telomeres, ageing, and the generation of RAN proteins with important biological activities.",

Herein, we report a dual-function PROTAC, dACSL4, and its nose-to-brain delivery for brain-preferred protein degradation and therapeutic suppression of ferroptosis in neurodegeneration. dACSL4 selectively degrades acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) while concurrently activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor \u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), thereby coordinating lipid metabolism and oxidative stress to suppress neuronal ferroptosis. dACSL4 achieved up to 30-fold greater protection against neuronal ferroptosis compared to conventional ferroptosis inhibitors. Intranasal delivery of dACSL4 using biodegradable lipid nanoparticles (BAmP-TK12) enabled brain-preferred ACSL4 degradation and PPAR\u03b3 activation, reducing lipid peroxidation and preserving dopaminergic neurons in a Parkinson's disease model, ultimately improving motor function. Our findings establish a modular strategy for brain-preferred protein degradation and highlight the therapeutic potential of dual-function degraders for ferroptosis suppression in neurodegenerative diseases.",

To address these problems, a SalB-loaded liquid crystalline nanoparticle delivery system (SalB-LCN) was constructed and systematically characterized in terms of its physicochemical properties. Meanwhile, an intranasal administration strategy was employed to bypass the BBB, and the therapeutic effects of SalB-LCN on VD were systematically evaluated. The results showed that SalB-LCN possessed favorable morphology and sustained-release properties, enabling stable encapsulation and continuous release of SalB. In vitro experiments demonstrated that SalB-LCN exhibited good biocompatibility and could alleviate oxidative damage in neuronal cells. In a bilateral common carotid artery occlusion-induced rat model of VD, SalB-LCN significantly improved learning and memory abilities, alleviated hippocampal neuronal morphological damage, and exhibited good in vivo biosafety. Further studies showed that SalB-LCN markedly lowered reactive oxygen species levels, suppressed IL-1\u03b2 and IL-18 production in hippocampal tissues, and reduced cell death as well as lactate dehydrogenase activity. In addition, SalB-LCN also suppressed NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling. In conclusion, intranasal delivery of SalB-LCN improved brain delivery by facilitating transport across the BBB and conferred neuroprotection against VD through modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling, highlighting its translational potential as a nanomedicine-based therapeutic strategy.",

To address these intertwined injury cascades, we developed a diselenide-bridged hyaluronic acid/graphene oxide quantum dot nanogel (DRC@GOQD-HA-Se) for intranasal delivery of Dauricine\ue5f8a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid with antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. The diselenide (Se-Se) cross-links confer reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered degradation and on-demand drug release, while the HA shell enhances microglial targeting via CD44 receptors and facilitates BBB bypass via nose-to-brain transport.DRC@GOQD-HA-Se directly scavenged multiple ROS, eliminating \u223c136 \u00b1 10 U/mL of \u2022OH and \u223c80 \u00b1 7 U/mL of O2\u2022-, and degrading H2O2 such that only \u223c9% remained (p < 0.001, vs untreated). In a photothrombotic ischemia (PTI) mouse model, intranasal administration reduced infarct size, improved neurological deficit scores by \u223c40%, halved the Morris water maze escape latency (\u224850% faster learning), and increased locomotor activity by \u223c61%. In vitro, the nanogel inhibited M1 microglial polarization, reducing neuronal apoptosis and preserving mitochondrial membrane potential under OGD/R insult. Mechanistically, DRC@GOQD-HA-Se activated the STAT3/iNOS axis, suppressed TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB signaling, and downregulated Bax and cleaved caspase-3. Biodistribution analysis confirmed >5-fold brain accumulation vs free drug, with no systemic toxicity or hemolysis. This multifunctional nanoplatform integrates ROS scavenging, immune modulation, and targeted delivery into a single system, offering a clinically translatable strategy for neuroprotection after ischemic stroke.",

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.",

This small-molecule TrkB receptor agonist exhibits significant antioxidant, neuroprotective properties, and additional effects on metabolic regulation, but its therapeutic potential is limited by unfavorable pharmacokinetic characteristics. Nanotechnology-based delivery systems are increasingly explored to improve drug stability, enhance bioavailability, and facilitate direct nose-to-brain transport following intranasal administration. In this study, lipid nanoparticles encapsulating 7,8-DHF were developed using a fish-oil-based lipid core enriched with \u03c9-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA and EPA) and naturally derived excipients, including soybean lecithin and \u03b5-polylysine. Methods: The formulation was optimized using a Design of Experiments (DoE) approach based on a 23 full factorial design, evaluating drug concentration, lecithin concentration, and surfactant type (Pluronic\u00ae F127 or Tween\u00ae 80). The main formulation responses considered were particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency. Results: The optimized nanoparticles exhibited nanometric dimensions (<250 nm); spherical morphology, confirmed by TEM; low polydispersity (PDI < 0.3); and adequate encapsulation efficiency. Stability studies in simulated biological fluids indicated good physicochemical stability for up to 48 h, while interaction studies with mucin suggested a good interaction within the mucus environment. ROS scavenging capacity was confirmed through the DPPH chemical assay, and in vitro experiments on olfactory ensheathing cells, selected as a biologically relevant model for their anatomical localization along the olfactory pathway, showed reduced cytotoxicity of the encapsulated drug compared with the free form. Conclusions: Collectively, these results support the potential application of the developed nanoformulation in the intranasal delivery of 7,8-DHF.",

This review integrates three milestones in N2B delivery, formulations, devices, and quantitative evaluation strategies, to define design rules for effective olfactory/trigeminal deposition and enhance translational relevance. Formulations emphasize mucoadhesive systems, nanoparticle carriers (polymeric, lipid-based, and hybrid), nano-emulsions, and stimuli-responsive \"smart\" gels that prolong nasal residence. Regarding device advancements, the review covers conventional nasal sprays optimized for plume geometry and droplet size. Furthermore, it examines breath-actuated metered sprays, which promote soft palate closure to route aerosols to superior regions, and vibrating mesh nebulizers capable of low-velocity mists for improved upper cavity deposition. Quantitative evaluation is discussed, including 3D-printed, anatomy-accurate nasal casts, high-speed spray diagnostics, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This review further links formulation and device parameters to regional deposition. Available clinical and animal data illustrate the feasibility of these approaches, safety considerations, and user-technique dependencies, while highlighting the need for standardized, anatomy-aware testing protocols.

Certain physicochemical properties, such as poor solubility and poor oral bioavailability of RS, diminish their therapeutic effectiveness. This study aims to develop the RS niosomes formulation (RS-Ns-Opt) to improve the bioavailability and solubility of RS. Lipid-derived vesicles enclosing RS were developed by the thin-film hydration method, whereas surfactants and cholesterol formed the RS niosome. RS-Ns-Opt were developed and evaluated using the thin-film hydration method, drug release, DPPH assay, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), ex vivo nasal mucosa permeation, UV analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Nanosize vesicles (55.22 nm) of RS-Ns-Opt were formed within an acceptable polydispersity index (PDI) (0.234). In contrast, the entrapment efficiency of R (72.64%) and S (72.44%) indicates efficient uniformity and automatic surface interaction. Moreover, RS-Ns-Opt exhibited notable drug release (79.96 \u00b1 0.68%) and effective antioxidant activity (70.11 \u00b1 3.07%) compared with RS suspension drug release (23.49 \u00b1 2.11%) and antioxidant potential (75.59 \u00b1 0.75%).

Moreover, we discuss the potential role of TMEM106B as an important modifier of the protein TDP-43 neuropathology associated with the GRN mutation in this case. The patient underwent detailed clinical assessment, serial neuropsychological evaluation, brain MRI, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, whole-exome sequencing, and next generation sequencing. A postmortem neuropathologic examination was performed to confirm the diagnosis. The patient presented slowly progressive paresthesia, cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, and later cognitive and behavioral changes. Genetic testing revealed a heterozygous PRNP P102L variant and an unpenetrated GRN p.R110X variant; a protective TMEM106B polymorphism associated with TDP-43 pathology was also identified. Neuroimaging demonstrated progressive cerebellar and parietal atrophy with asymmetric left frontal opercular and insular involvement. The clinical course was dominated by a cerebellar GSS phenotype. The patient died 4 years after symptom onset. Neuropathology confirmed GSS, nevertheless without detectable TDP-43-associated neuropathology. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of rare neurodegenerative disorders and illustrates that pathogenic variants may not influence phenotypic expression. Comprehensive genetic testing should be considered in atypical cases, as certain genetic variants may contribute to phenotypic variability and represent potential modifiers of phenotypic expression.",

Over 98% of small-molecule drugs and nearly all biologics fail to cross this barrier. Nanoparticles (NPs) provide multiple ways to bypass the BBB. These include receptor-mediated transcytosis, adsorptive-mediated transport, and intranasal delivery. NPs can also modify disease-related pathways. For example, they promote amyloid-\u03b2 clearance, reduce tau phosphorylation, and reprogram neuroimmune responses. Many preclinical studies have shown promising results in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases. However, no NP-based therapy has moved beyond early-stage clinical trials. Several issues remain unresolved. Direct comparisons between different NP platforms are lacking. The long-term toxicity of NPs in the brain is not well understood. Animal models also do not accurately reflect human disease. We suggest that future work should focus on standardized characterization, better predictive models, and clinical trial designs that address NP diversity. Researchers should also compare NP therapies with existing treatments in a rigorous manner.",

The mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo2 has been identified as a key mediator of orofacial mechanical allodynia in TN, making it a highly attractive but as yet clinically untargeted therapeutic target. To address this critical gap, we developed RLPSe nanoparticles, a microenvironment-adaptive nanoplatform composed of a polyvinylamine (PVAm)-L44 copolymer crosslinked via diselenide bonds and conjugated with rabies virus glycoprotein 29 (RVG29). The diselenide bond confers oxidative stress responsiveness, while RVG29 enables specific neuronal targeting. In vitro studies demonstrated that RLPSe nanoparticles exhibited good biocompatibility, oxidative stress responsiveness, and neuronal targeting efficiency; they effectively scavenged intracellular reactive oxygen species and delivered siRNA to knock down Piezo2 expression in neurons. Following intranasal administration in vivo, RLPSe nanoparticles were successfully internalized by trigeminal ganglion cells. Notably, this was associated with reduced neuronal activation in central pain-related regions, including the spinal trigeminal nucleus caudalis and primary somatosensory cortex. Collectively, this study presents a non-invasive, microenvironment-adaptive gene silencing strategy that combines intranasal delivery, oxidative stress responsiveness, and Piezo2 knockdown, representing a promising approach for further investigation in the context of trigeminal neuralgia.",

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.

Despite advances in antiseizure medications, effective epilepsy management remains challenging because of pharmacoresistance, limited blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, inadequate intracerebral drug accumulation, and systemic toxicity. Moreover, currently available therapies primarily provide symptomatic seizure control without addressing the fundamental pathological processes involved in epileptogenesis, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal degeneration. Intranasal administration has emerged as an attractive non-invasive approach for direct brain targeting, enabling therapeutic agents to circumvent BBB-associated transport barriers and access the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal neural pathways. In this context, biodegradable nanomedicine platforms have gained considerable attention due to their favorable biocompatibility, controlled drug release, enhanced mucosal permeation, and potential for targeted intracerebral delivery. This review provides a comprehensive and critical overview of recent advances in intranasal biodegradable nanomedicine for epilepsy, integrating current knowledge on disease pathophysiology, biological and pharmaceutical barriers, nose-to-brain transport mechanisms, biodegradable nanoparticle platforms, and emerging functionalization strategies.

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.",

Despite their distinct etiologies and temporal profiles, stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), converge on a common pathophysiological phenotype characterized by excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and neuronal apoptosis. Neurotrophic factors modulate these pathological cascades through tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) receptors, p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), and related signaling pathways, thereby supporting neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and synaptogenesis. Experimental evidence from preclinical models demonstrates robust beneficial effects of neurotrophin-based interventions in stroke, TBI, AD, and PD across protein, gene, and cell-based strategies. However, clinical translation remains severely limited. Early-phase clinical trials of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated GDNF and neurturin gene therapy for PD, ex vivo NGF gene therapy for AD, and BDNF gene therapy for AD have confirmed acceptable safety profiles but yielded modest or inconsistent efficacy, largely due to constraints in brain delivery, the need for invasive neurosurgical procedures, restricted target coverage, suboptimal control of expression, and marked patient heterogeneity. Consequently, the principal barrier to clinical success is not biological validity, but the lack of safe, effective and scalable delivery platforms capable of bypassing or functionally modulating the BBB. In this review we synthesize shared pathophysiological mechanisms linking stroke, TBI and NDDs; examine the biology, receptor systems, and signaling pathways of key neurotrophic factors; summarize preclinical evidence for their therapeutic potential; and critically evaluate current delivery strategies, including viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles, exosomes, cell-based therapies, small-molecule mimetics, and intranasal administration. We conclude that overcoming delivery barriers through development of improved viral and non-viral platforms, minimally invasive administration routes, controllable expression systems, and rational patient stratification based on disease stage and biomarkers will be essential to fully realize the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative potential of neurotrophin-based therapies for acute and chronic brain disorders.",

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.

This expansion supports a non-canonical form of translational initiation known as repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation to produce toxic dipeptide repeat proteins that contribute to neurodegeneration. Here, we find that the efficiency of RAN translation and its dependency on the 5' 7-methylguanosine mRNA cap are variable across cell types, with both rodent neurons and human iNeurons favoring cap-independent RAN translation from two distinct repeats (CGG and GGGGCC) across multiple reading frames. Treatment with an eIF4E inhibitor that blocks global cap-dependent translation enhances RAN translation specifically in neurons. Intriguingly, cap-independent RAN translation exhibits less reliance on near-cognate codons for initiation than cap-dependent RAN translation. This finding led us to identify a surprising global increase in start codon stringency in neurons as a contributor to the relatively higher cap-independent RAN translation in this cell type. This effect correlates with a cytoplasmic redistribution of eIF1 in neurons and is reversed with neuronal overexpression of the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF5, which relaxes start codon stringency and selectively enhances cap-dependent RAN translation. Taken together, these findings reveal several neuron-specific features of translational regulation that favor cap-independent RAN translation with implications for nucleotide repeat expansion disorder pathogenesis and neuronal translational regulation.",

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.

To investigate mitochondrion-targeted therapeutic strategies, we utilized the MitoPark mouse model, in which mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) is selectively ablated in midbrain dopamine neurons, resulting in progressive neurodegeneration. We designed multifunctional lyotropic liquid crystalline nanoparticles (LCNPs) of the cubosome and hexosome types for noninvasive nose-to-brain delivery. These nanocarriers were engineered with lipids essential for membrane integrity (plasmalogens and \u03c9-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)) and a nonlamellar structural lipid (monoolein). They coencapsulated the neuroprotective antioxidants ginkgolide B and quercetin. To facilitate neuronal targeting and uptake, the surface of the LCNP was modified by conjugation with pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) and a rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG)-derived peptide-oleic acid (RVG-OL) conjugate. In vitro studies using differentiated SH-SY5Y cells subjected to oxidative stress demonstrated that the targeted LNPs enhanced cellular uptake and activated key neuroprotective signaling cascades, including AKT, ERK, and STAT3 phosphorylation. In vivo, intranasal administration of the optimized LNPs in MitoPark mice was associated with a trend toward the preservation of dopaminergic neuronal markers (such as tyrosine hydroxylase) and the regulation of mitochondrial-related proteins such as ATP5A1. Transcriptomic profiling revealed extensive molecular reprogramming. The peptide-functionalized LNPs upregulated genes enriched in mitochondrial biogenesis (Ppargc1a and Pink1) and survival (Bcl2) but downregulated the expression of neuroinflammatory mediators (Il6, Nos2, Myd88, and Trem2) and apoptotic effectors. These findings establish peptide-targeted, therapeutic lipid (plasmalogen/PUFA)-based nanoassemblies as a potent nonviral platform for noninvasive nose-to-brain delivery that may modulate mitochondrial- and neurodegeneration-related signaling pathways in a genetic model of PD.",

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.",

In several HD animal models, brain cholesterol biosynthesis and levels are reduced. Since circulating cholesterol cannot reach the brain, providing exogenous cholesterol has been shown to improve HD phenotypes. However, the methods used for cholesterol delivery were invasive and not easily transferable to clinical practice. Cholesterol-enriched liposomes were developed by using freeze-and-thaw methods and were administered to R6/2 mice through a single or repeated intranasal administrations. Deuterated-cholesterol was used to discriminate exogenous from endogenous cholesterol. Exogenous cholesterol accumulation and distribution, as well as the levels of cholesterol precursors and metabolites, were measured using mass spectrometry. Behavioral tests, real-time PCR analysis, and immunostaining of mutant HTT (muHTT) aggregates were performed to verify the therapeutic effects of liposomes. Plasma neurofilament levels were measured by Simoa-Quanterix assay. We developed and characterized freeze-and-thaw liposomes. Then, we demonstrate that the exogenous cholesterol can spread throughout the entire brain following intranasal administration of cholesterol-enriched liposomes. Furthermore, repeated intranasal treatments with liposomes result in a full restoration of cognitive decline, and delayed the onset of coordination and motor impairment as well as the loss of muscular strength in the early stages of the disease. Cholesterol supplementation also reduced the plasma level of neurofilament light chain and promoted the clearance of muHTT aggregates. The findings support the effectiveness of cholesterol supplementation as a therapeutic strategy for HD and indicate the translational potential of nose-to-brain cholesterol delivery.",

The C9orf72 repeat expansion is bidirectionally transcribed into sense and anti-sense RNA foci, and also produces dipeptide repeats (DPRs) via a non-canonical translation mechanism known as repeat-associated (RAN) translation. Each of these components of the G4C2 repeat expansion cause neurodegenerative effects in animal models when expressed in neurons, but impacts from glial expression are more poorly understood. Here, we use glial cell type-specific expression of individual DPRs, of RNA repeat-only, or of the G4C2 repeat, that produces both DPRs and RNA repeats, to systematically investigate glial toxicity of each component. We find that as with neurons, the GR and G4C2 transgenes produce the highest degree of toxicity when expressed in glia. Each of these transgenes are capable to produce the GR DPR, which also is the most toxic factor in neurons. We demonstrate that both the GR and G4C2 transgenes cause activation of mdg4, an endogenous retrovirus (ERV). Such ERV expression is a hallmark of TDP-43 dysfunction that is commonly observed in C9orf72 patients. We find that glial expression of either the GR or the G4C2 transgene is toxic to glial cells, but such expression does not cause loss nearby neurons. However, blocking apoptotic signaling within glia that express either GR or G4C2 via expression of the p35 caspase inhibitor further exacerbates effects on lifespan and ablating such glia via expression of the proapoptotic reaper gene partially ameliorates these effects. Together, these results indicate that expression of toxic C9orf72 components in glia produces deleterious effects on lifespan, though potentially through different mechanisms than seen in TDP-43 models of ALS/FTD.",

The therapeutic potential of PAC is hindered due to its poor water solubility and low brain bioavailability. In the current study, a PAC-loaded nanoemulsion (PAC-NE) was formulated to deliver the drug through the intranasal (IN) route for better solubilization, nasal absorption, and brain targeting. The optimized formulation of PAC-NE exhibited a mean droplet size of 18.78\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.4\u202fnm and a polydispersity index (PDI) value of 0.183\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.007, representing a highly homogenous and uniform NE, which is appropriate for nasal administration. In vitro evaluation of the anticancer efficacy in 2D cell culture and 3D tumor spheroid model (3DS) proved that PAC-NE greatly improved the cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and tumor spheroid inhibition activity compared with free PAC. In addition, ex vivo nasal permeation was greatly improved by the optimized formulation, showing a flux value of 1.27\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.06\u202f\u00b5g/cm2/h and a permeability coefficient value of 2.4\u202f\u00d7\u202f10\u207b7\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.19\u202fcm/s, which were significantly higher than that of the plain drug. Moreover, the histopathological examination demonstrated no sign of damage to the nasal mucosa. Pharmacokinetics analysis following IN application revealed that the optimized NE depicted greater brain-targeting ability, where there was an improvement in %DTE by 1.99-fold and in %DTP by 2.75-fold in comparison to free PAC. Overall, from the above observations, it can be concluded that PAC-NE is a non-invasive delivery system which shows promising results for better brain delivery thereby supporting the clinical translation of PAC for GBM therapy.",

However, the effectiveness of this route is limited by mucociliary clearance, mucus, enzymatic degradation, and poor epithelial permeability. Electrospun fibrous systems have gained increasing attention as intranasal platforms capable of simultaneously addressing these challenges through tailored polymer/excipient selection and formulation design. This review summarizes advances in electrospun intranasal systems and the influence of formulation characteristics on drug-mucosa interactions based on English-language articles identified through PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar from January 2010 to May 2026, supplemented by manual reference screening. Mucoadhesive polymers improve drug retention, fast-dissolving polymers promote rapid release and sustained-release polymers prolong drug availability. Particular focus is placed on three complementary mechanisms employed to overcome nasal barriers: mucoadhesion, mucopenetration, and permeation enhancement, which improve nasal retention, mucus transport, epithelial permeation, and biomolecule stability. Recent studies support the potential of electrospun systems for local, systemic, and experimental nose-to-brain delivery, highlighting multifunctional nanofibrous platforms as promising candidates for future intranasal therapies.",

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.",

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.",

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.",

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.

Lf-LNT-PEG-CS-NCs were prepared, optimized, and characterized for particle size, entrapment efficiency, coating efficiency, and release behavior. Ex vivo permeation, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, pharmacokinetic, and biodistribution studies were performed using U87 MG cells and Wistar rats. The optimized NCs exhibited a particle size of 205.3\u2009\u00b1\u200911\u2009nm, entrapment efficiency of 71.52\u2009\u00b1\u20090.98%, and coating efficiency of 92.42\u2009\u00b1\u20090.94%, with sustained drug release for 36\u2009h.

Here, we systematically evaluate intranasal and intratracheal delivery of mRNA-LNP vaccines and reveal a route-dependent immunological mechanism governing lung-targeted tumor vaccination. Although intratracheal administration yields only a 2.6-fold increase in total pulmonary protein expression compared to intranasal delivery, it produces a striking 26.8-fold enhancement in functional mRNA transfection efficiency within alveolar macrophages, the dominant antigen-presenting cell population in the alveolar space. This selective targeting reprograms alveolar macrophages toward an activated antigen-presenting phenotype, promoting efficient antigen presentation, robust CD8+ T-cell responses, and superior prophylactic and therapeutic efficacy in pulmonary tumor models. Notably, local depletion of alveolar macrophages completely abolishes the antitumor protection conferred by intratracheal vaccination, establishing their indispensable role in mediating pulmonary mRNA vaccine efficacy. Together, these findings provide mechanistic insights into lung-targeted mRNA cancer vaccination driven by alveolar macrophage engagement, providing critical insights for the design of next-generation LNP-based nanomedicines for lung cancer immunotherapy.",

This approach has shown potential in the treatment of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and acute psychiatric conditions, as well as in emergencies such as anxiety attacks and migraine episodes. Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine, among other drugs, have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy. In addition, FDA-approved intranasal products indicated for central nervous system disorders, including diazepam and midazolam for seizure management, and triptans for migraine, demonstrate the growing clinical relevance of intranasal drug delivery. Both preclinical and clinical studies have reported encouraging outcomes, particularly when intranasal delivery is combined with nanoformulations and specialised delivery devices designed to enhance olfactory deposition.

This study investigated the effects of cholesterol overload on human Ether-\u00e0-go-go-Related Gene (hERG/Kv11.1; encoded by KCNH2) potassium channels and L-type calcium channels (LTCC; mainly Cav1.2/CACNA1C in cardiomyocytes), as well as the underlying mechanisms of acLQTS-related cardiotoxicity, using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), whole-cell patch clamp, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, fluorescence imaging, and a high-cholesterol diet guinea pig model with rosuvastatin intervention combined with optical mapping. The results showed that transient cholesterol exposure inhibited hERG tail current amplitude and accelerated channel inactivation, with the effect showing a Y652-dependent component, while also enhancing LTCC activity. Mechanistically, cholesterol overload triggered endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, impaired hERG proteostasis, and promoted ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) of hERG. This process was associated with CANX-mediated recognition of abnormal hERG and FAM134B-LC3B-related autophagic-lysosomal processing, contributing to reduced total hERG expression and membrane-localized mature hERG. FAM134B overexpression partially preserved hERG expression and attenuated cholesterol-induced ER stress/autophagy-related abnormalities. In vivo, rosuvastatin improved lipid profiles and cardiac remodeling in high-cholesterol guinea pigs but was associated with more pronounced action potential duration (APD) and QT interval prolongation under high-cholesterol conditions. These findings suggest that cholesterol overload may increase susceptibility to hERG-related repolarization abnormalities during rosuvastatin exposure and highlight the importance of cholesterol management and electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring in hypercholesterolemic settings.",

The nanoparticles feature a core of CC-Cu-Cur NPs, formed via Cu2+-coordinated self-assembly of caffeic acid-grafted CS and curcumin (Cur), encapsulated within a phenylboronic acid-conjugated \u03b3-PGA shell through pH-sensitive borate ester bonds. Surface modification with lactoferrin conferred brain-penetrating and glioma-targeting capabilities. The resulting spherical nanoparticles had a uniform size of 235.89\u00a0nm, a zeta potential of -22.66\u00a0mV, and high Cur loading (6.02%) and encapsulation efficiency (83.09%). Upon exposure to the acidic tumor microenvironment, the nanoparticle shell detaches, reversing surface charge from negative to positive, thereby enhancing cellular uptake and mitochondrial targeting. Intracellular glutathione then triggers core degradation, releasing Cur and Cu2+. Cur induces mitochondrial apoptosis, while Cu2+ catalyzes a Fenton-like reaction, converting endogenous hydrogen peroxide into highly cytotoxic reactive oxygen species.

Microglia undergo age-related maladaptive changes, including increased inflammation, impaired debris clearance, and cellular senescence, yet specific mediators that regulate these processes remain unclear. The aged brain is rejuvenated by youth-associated plasma factors, including tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2), which we have shown acts on the extracellular matrix (ECM) to regulate synaptic plasticity. Given emerging roles for microglia in these processes, we examined the impact of TIMP2 on microglial function. We show that TIMP2 deletion in mice exacerbates microglial phenotypes associated with aging, including transcriptomic changes in cell activation, changes in lysosomal-associated markers and phagocytosis, and elevated levels of stress and inflammatory proteins in the brain extracellular space measured by in vivo microdialysis. Deleting specific cellular pools of TIMP2 in vivo increases microglial CD68 and alters myelin phagocytosis. Treating aged mice with TIMP2 reverses several phenotypes observed in our deletion models, resulting in decreased microglial activation, reduced proportions of proinflammatory microglia, and enhanced phagocytosis of physiological substrates. Our results identify TIMP2 as a modulator of age-associated microglia dysfunction. Harnessing its activity may mitigate detrimental effects of age-associated insults on microglia function.",

Using a complete SNAI1 knockout in mesenchymal, triple-negative breast cancer cells, unbiased genome-wide transcriptomic analysis revealed a marked under-expression of integrin-based adhesion and endocytic components. Utilizing this knockout cell model, complementary breast cancer cell models and functional screening of multiple differentially expressed genes, we found that the pioneering transcription factor FOXA1, whose expression is repressed by SNAI1, associates with several key mediators of the cellular phenotype. FOXA1 represses the small GTPase ARF6 and its exchange factor PSD4. In addition, some of the integrin and matrix metalloproteinase genes are regulated by the transcriptional FOXA1 signal. Accordingly, SNAI1 knockout cells presented poor adhesion to collagen type I or fibronectin, formed defective invadopodia and focal adhesions with weakened FAK/SRC signaling. SNAI1 knockout cells performed ineffective receptor-mediated internalization, including nanoparticle and extracellular vesicle (EV) uptake, exhibited reduced lysosomal content, lacked multivesicular bodies enriched in intraluminal vesicles and showed decreased EV secretion. Gain-of-function experiments demonstrated that SNAI1 has an impact on the PSD4/ARF6 signaling module, using FOXA1 as an intermediate factor to regulate EV release by tumor cells. We propose that the SNAI1-FOXA1 transcriptional mechanism operates at the level of membrane and vesicular trafficking control, which interlinks cell plasticity, adhesion and invasiveness through the extracellular environment, with the associated process of EV secretion.",

Severe, early-onset disease is frequently associated with destabilizing structural missense variants, including p.R386C. To model a loss-of-function missense variant associated with severe MPS IVA, we generated a GalnsR384C knock-in mouse, the murine ortholog of the most common human variant, p.R386C. Biochemical, histological, and skeletal phenotypes were evaluated across multiple tissues, and bone microarchitecture was assessed using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Genomic and biochemical assays were performed to assess allelic integrity, and principal component analysis (PCA) was used to integrate biochemical and structural parameters. GalnsR384C mice exhibited significantly reduced GALNS activity and elevated KS levels across various tissues. Histological examination revealed considerable vacuolization in cartilage and cardiac valves, while micro-CT illustrated altered bone microarchitecture consistent with disrupted endochondral ossification. During allele validation, a secondary missense variant (p.R384Y) was identified and characterized as a comparative model that led to defective GALNS activity, substrate accumulation, and analogous skeletal and cardiovascular pathology. PCA demonstrated clear differentiation between WT and mutant groups, with considerable multivariate overlap observed between GalnsR384C and GalnsR384Y mice. In conclusion, GalnsR384C and GalnsR384Y mice recapitulate key biochemical, skeletal, and histopathological features of MPS IVA and provide well-characterized murine models of severe GALNS loss-of-function resulting from clinically relevant missense variants. Rigorous genomic validation underscores the importance of careful allele-level characterization during genome-editing-based model generation.",

Published data on LTx and GTMP in human patients with urea cycle defects [UCD], glycogen storage disease type 1a [GSD1a], methylmalonic aciduria [MMA] and propionic aciduria [PA] were reviewed for efficacy, safety, data quality and health policy considerations. LTx can reduce [MMA, PA] or eliminate [UCD, GSD1a] metabolic decompensation and improve quality of life. Risk of death peaks in the first year but long-term survival post LTx is similar to medical management. Initial data for GTMP show reduction in metabolic decompensation [MMA, PA, UCD] with more modest impacts in GSD1a. Long-term safety and efficacy data [available for LTx] may not be available at the time of market authorization for GTMP. Age is one health policy challenge as clinical trials for GTMP may target one age group but other age groups may request consideration for treatment. Quality concerns regarding data analysis exist for both modalities. Cost effectiveness of LTx is likely to be significantly more favorable than for GTMP. Access limitations are severe for both treatments, with high opportunity costs [price for GTMP, organ availability for LTx] mandating the need to engage the public as stakeholders in addition to patients, families, manufacturers and clinicians. LTx remains an effective treatment choice in the era of GTMP given the significant health policy challenges associated with these novel therapies.",

The 5-aminopyrazole-4-carboxamide BKI-1708 effectively inhibited vertical transmission of Toxoplasma gondii and significantly reduced the cerebral parasite loads in experimentally infected pregnant mice. In vitro experiments revealed that exposure of T. gondii tachyzoites to BKI-1708 induces the formation of intracellular multinucleated complexes called \"baryzoites\", exhibiting increased expression of bradyzoite-stage proteins while still displaying classical tachyzoite markers. Differential affinity chromatography of T. gondii extracts identified numerous BKI-1708-binding proteins involved in invasion/egress, redox homeostasis, and RNA processing. To understand the transcriptional implications of BKI-1708 treatment on T. gondii tachyzoites and human foreskin fibroblast host cells, T. gondii-infected host cells, either treated with BKI-1708 or untreated, were subjected to dual RNA-seq analysis. BKI-1708 induced a significant transcriptional remodeling in the parasite, with an enrichment in pathways related to translation, RNA metabolism, and stress responses. In contrast, host-cell transcriptional changes were more limited, with transcripts related to metabolic and detoxification programs upregulated in uninfected fibroblasts, and increased transcription of immune, lysosomal, and glycan degradation pathways in infected fibroblasts. These findings suggest that BKI-1708 modulates the transcriptome in a predominantly parasite-specific manner, disrupting essential biological processes in T. gondii while largely preserving host cell function.",

With a birth prevalence of 0.25-0.6 per 100,000, it is more prevalent in Ashkenazi Jewish and Middle Eastern populations. The disease features a clinical spectrum ranging from severe, early-onset neurodegeneration (infantile neurovisceral ASMD) to chronic, non-neurological visceral involvement (chronic visceral ASMD) and intermediate forms (chronic neurovisceral ASMD). The chronic visceral form is characterized by liver dysfunction, respiratory symptoms, and hepatosplenomegaly, which can lead to secondary thrombocytopenia. The majority of patients exhibit thrombocytopenia and/or mild bleeding manifestations, most commonly easy bruising and epistaxis, whereas clinically significant bleeding events, including gastrointestinal or variceal hemorrhage, occur less frequently. Systematic platelet-function studies in patients with ASMD are currently lacking. Evidence retrieved from biological models indicates that ASMD contributes to platelet dysfunction, including impaired secretion and thrombin generation, mediated by complex pathological mechanisms. These findings underscore the importance of hematological monitoring and further research in patients with this condition and could potentially offer new therapeutic possibilities.",

However, the molecular identity of Ca2+-permeable channels and the mechanism of involvement of these channels in steatotic hepatocytes are not well-studied. In the present study, we investigated the role of a Ca2+-permeable channel TRPM2 in lipid metabolism in steatotic hepatocytes. A mouse model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was established by high-fat-diet feeding. Fat accumulation, fibrosis, lipophagic indexes, TFEB and lysosomal acid lipase in the liver tissue and/or hepatocytes were compared between TRPM2-knockout mice and wild-type mice. Knockout of the TRPM2 gene aggravated liver fat accumulation and fibrosis. Mechanistically, the TRPM2 knockout impaired the lipophagic process, decreased lysosomal abundance and attenuated lysosomal/autolysosomal acidification in mouse hepatocytes. Furthermore, the TRPM2 knockout reduced TFEB expression and its nuclear translation and also reduced the expression/activity of lysosomal acid lipase. These data demonstrate that TRPM2 deficiency may reduce lipophagy via its action on TFEB and lysosomal acid lipase, consequently contributing to liver steatosis and NAFLD under high-fat feeding conditions.",

We previously demonstrated that A\u03b2 is produced from APP following its lysosomal internalization via macropinocytosis. However, the regulation of APP macropinocytosis in neuronal cells remained uncharacterized. Arf6 and the Rho GTPases Rac1, Cdc42 and RhoA are known to regulate macropinocytosis in response to signaling at the cell surface. Fe65, an adaptor protein known to interact with APP, may link APP to these regulatory elements. We hypothesized that APP binding/crosslinking recruits Fe65, which recruits/activates Arf6 and then Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA, driving APP macropinocytosis. We found that antibody-mediated binding/crosslinking APP resulted in the transient recruitment of Fe65 and Arf6 to APP within 30 s of APP binding/crosslinking. Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA were also recruited at 30 s, but remained recruited through 2 min. The mutation of the APP 'YENPTY' sequence and Arf6 inhibition by NAV-2729 prevented the recruitment of Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA. Together, these observations are the first to demonstrate that a network of regulatory proteins is recruited to bound/crosslinked APP and regulates its macropinocytosis. Targeting these regulatory proteins to modulate APP trafficking to the lysosome could be a therapeutic strategy to reduce A\u03b2 production in AD.",
        "42587784": "ID: 42587784\nTitle: Initial Molecular Detection of Membrane Damage in Post-Golgi Compartments.\nAbstract: Mammalian cells contain numerous membrane-bound organelles, of which endosomes serve as the initial destination for endocytosed molecules. Therapeutic agents are also internalized by cells and transported to endosomes or phagosomes and subsequently delivered to lysosomes for degradation. Therefore, these agents require drug delivery systems (DDSs) that enable their escape from endosomes into the cytosol before lysosomal degradation; however, endosomal escape is a major limitation of current DDSs. Studies of bacterial phagosomal escape have revealed mechanisms by which host cells detect damage to organelle membranes. These membrane damage-sensing molecules also recognize membrane damage caused by artificial DDSs or physical energy-based insults. In this review, we summarize the molecular mechanisms underlying the early stages of membrane damage in the plasma membrane, lysosomes and bacteria-containing vacuoles (BCVs) to better understand the early stages of endosomal membrane damage in the absence of pathogens. We summarize recent advances in galectins, endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) complexes, sphingomyelin, stress granules, and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) at membrane contact sites, as well as annexins. We also discuss the recruitment kinetics of these molecules to damaged membranes. Although the recruitment kinetics vary depending on cell type and experimental conditions, this information provides a timeframe for the events following membrane damage, including damage sensing, membrane repair, and degradation of damaged organelles. We also discuss a potential fourth event, fusion between the plasma membrane and endosomes or lysosomes for membrane repair in the annexin section. Finally, we summarize approaches for inducing \"sterile\" endosomal membrane damage. Future development of these approaches may facilitate the design of novel DDSs and physical energy-based strategies for manipulating specific organelles.",

This review summarizes evidence concerning whole EVOO, phenolic-enriched EVOO, olive phenolic extracts, and the isolated compounds hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, oleocanthal, and oleacein. Methods: A structured narrative search of PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was conducted for literature published between 2015 and 2025. Evidence was reviewed for breast, prostate, colorectal, pancreatic, bone, oral, liver, gastric, hematological, and brain cancers. Comparatively limited evidence concerning cervical, endometrial, ovarian, melanoma, non-melanoma skin, and thyroid cancers was summarized separately. Results: The molecular evidence was derived primarily from cell culture and animal studies using isolated phenolics and concentrated extracts. Preclinical studies indicate that EVOO phenolics may demonstrate anticancer activity through multiple mechanisms, including antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effects, cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, inhibition of metastasis, anti-angiogenic activity, and modulation of key signaling pathways, such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR, MAPK/ERK, NF-\u03baB, JAK/STAT, Wnt/\u03b2-catenin, p53, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition-related pathways. Most molecular and pathway-level evidence was obtained using isolated phenolic compounds in cell culture or animal models, whereas evidence directly examining whole EVOO consumption was largely observational and substantially more limited. Experimental studies also reported that oleocanthal induced lysosomal membrane permeabilization, whereas hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein promoted mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore, preclinical combination studies suggested enhanced tumor-cell sensitivity to selected chemotherapeutic, targeted, and immunotherapeutic agents. However, these effects have not been established in patients. Human evidence remains limited mainly to observational dietary associations and small exploratory interventions, with no conclusive demonstration of cancer prevention or therapeutic efficacy. Conclusions: Isolated EVOO-derived phenolic compounds demonstrated promising anticancer mechanisms in preclinical models. However, these results should not be directly extrapolated to dietary EVOO because experimentally administered doses, bioavailability, metabolism, and food-matrix interactions differ substantially from human dietary exposure. Therefore, well-designed studies using chemically characterized EVOO, pharmacokinetic investigations, and controlled human trials are required before dietary or clinical recommendations can be made.",

This narrative review examines four mechanistically distinct compounds, namely spermidine, fisetin, berberine, and urolithin A, as emerging functional food ingredients with scientifically supported effects on key hallmarks of human aging. Spermidine, a dietary polyamine from wheat germ and fermented foods, induces autophagy through EP300 inhibition and is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in prospective studies. Fisetin, a flavonoid from strawberries and apples, exerts senolytic activity by selectively eliminating senescent cells via PI3K/AKT and Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibition, with emerging clinical evidence. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid from Berberis species, modulates metabolic dysfunction via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and reshapes gut microbiota composition through direct high intraluminal exposure, with the most extensive clinical dataset of the four compounds. Urolithin A, a gut microbiome-derived postbiotic from ellagitannins in pomegranates and nuts, induces mitophagy via PINK1/Parkin and has been evaluated in a growing number of registered human clinical trials. Together, the four compounds primarily target distinct but complementary aging-associated pathways (autophagy, senolysis, metabolic regulation, mitophagy), suggesting rational potential for combined functional food formulations. Limited direct evidence for their combined use and the need for dedicated co-administration studies are discussed, alongside bioavailability, safety, and regulatory considerations.",
        "42588669": "ID: 42588669\nTitle: Targeting EGFR Endocytosis and Signaling for Cancer Drug Delivery and Cancer Treatment.\nAbstract: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was the first receptor tyrosine kinase identified soon after v-Src was recognized as a tyrosine kinase. EGFR signaling begins when EGF binds to EGFR at the cell surface, inducing receptor dimerization, activation, and autophosphorylation. The resulting phosphotyrosine sites recruit downstream effectors that activate signaling cascades such as the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK and PI3K-Akt pathways, thereby regulating cell growth, proliferation, and survival. EGF binding also promotes EGFR endocytosis, which can direct the receptor to lysosomal degradation. Aberrant EGFR activity is associated with many cancers, and the receptor has been therapeutically targeted using small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Furthermore, EGFR endocytosis has been exploited for the targeted delivery of anticancer agents into EGFR-expressing cancer cells through antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and antibody-nanoparticle conjugates (ANCs). Although ADCs and ANCs both utilize mAbs as homing mechanisms to recognize cancer-associated antigens, they further harness EGFR endocytosis to deliver therapeutic payloads directly into target cells. In this review, we briefly discuss EGFR structure, activation, signaling, and endocytosis, as well as the mechanisms underlying EGFR function in cancer development. We then focus on current advances and future perspectives in using EGFR endocytosis pathways to improve targeted cancer drug delivery and therapy, particularly in the context of ANCs.",

Two hundred PD patients and 121 healthy controls underwent structural MRI. Subject-specific cortical similarity networks were constructed using Morphometric INverse Divergence (MIND), and subtypes were identified with HYDRA. Spatial patterns were linked to regional gene expression from the Allen Human Brain Atlas through partial least squares regression, followed by functional and cell-type enrichment analyses. Serum neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were quantified using single-molecule array assays. No significant MIND differences emerged when PD patients were analysed as a single group. HYDRA identified two subtypes (ARI = 0.85) with divergent cortical organization that only partially overlapped with conventional motor phenotypes. Cluster 1 exhibited temporo-parietal MIND increases associated with synaptic and oligodendroglial signatures, without serum biomarker associations. Cluster 2 showed widespread fronto-cingulate MIND reductions enriched for mitochondrial, lysosomal, and proteostatic pathways, including the KEGG Parkinson's disease pathway, and these reductions correlated with higher serum NfL and GFAP. These findings reveal two biologically distinct PD subtypes with divergent molecular architecture and systemic neurodegeneration beyond conventional motor phenotyping.",

We reanalysed the Genetic and Epigenetic Signatures of Translational Ageing Laboratory Testing(GESTALT) paired RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and tandem mass tag (TMT) proteome from 82 donors (aged 22-89) using Data Integration Analysis for Biomarker discovery using Latent cOmponents (DIABLO) for supervised multi-omics integration, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), external Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx) transcriptomic comparison, network medicine proximity mapping and CDOCKER molecular docking. Three analyses converged on the autophagy-lysosome axis: Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Lysosome ranked first in discordant-quadrant analysis; gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified vacuole organisation and macroautophagy as the top age-upregulated Gene Ontology (GO) terms; and WGCNA recovered KEGG Lysosome in the brown module. Module regression localised most proteomic age signals to the lysosomal degradative-capacity module, whereas the proteasome was unaffected. McNemar testing and GTEx comparison supported a protein-side, post-transcriptional origin. TCIRG1, CTSA and ATP6V0D1 were recurrent hubs. Network proximity computationally prioritised hydroxytyrosol as a lysosomal-degradative-capacity-preferential candidate, and CDOCKER on cathepsin A linked its advantage over tyrosol to an ortho-hydroxyl group forming additional hydrogen bonds. These results support protein-layer-dominant autophagy-lysosome remodelling as a feature of dermal fibroblast ageing and suggest a cell-type-resolved computational route from ageing proteomics to testable dietary candidates.",

This pigmentation is caused by increased melanogenesis in melanocytes stimulated by acne-causing bacteria, followed by phagocytosis of excess melanin by macrophages that remain in the dermis. Therefore, to eliminate PIH caused by acne, it is essential not only to suppress excessive melanin synthesis by melanocytes but also to promote the degradation of melanin retained within macrophages. In this study, we investigated whether a culture extract of Bacillus velezensis AmoreLumina (AL), containing more than 80% moranoline (1-Deoxynojirimycin), could inhibit acne-induced pigmentation. Moranoline reduces melanin synthesis by inhibiting the glycosylation of tyrosinase, a key melanogenic enzyme, thereby suppressing its activity. The extract suppressed the upregulation of melanogenic enzymes (tyrosinase, TRP1, and TRP2) and melanin production in melanocytes exposed to acne bacteria, while promoting melanin degradation via macrophage lysosomal activity, as assessed by the relative protein expression level of p62 using Western blotting. Furthermore, in an ex vivo human skin model subjected to acne and ultraviolet radiation-induced pigmentation, treatment with the extract (0.2%) significantly reduced pigmentation (relative delta L 2.98, p value < 0.01). These findings suggest that cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations incorporating AL extract or moranoline may potentially improve PIH caused by acne-related inflammation.",

Beyond substrate storage, low-grade inflammation and complement activation have been increasingly implicated in FD pathogenesis, yet a comprehensive characterization of this immuno-inflammatory profile is lacking. In this exploratory cross-sectional study, fifteen patients with FD and fifteen age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were assessed using a broad panel of systemic inflammatory, humoral immunity/complement, hematological, and endothelial biomarkers, integrated through univariate analysis (Cliff's delta, \u03b4), penalized least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, and unsupervised hierarchical clustering. Fibrinogen (\u03b4 = 0.60, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.24-0.88), sTNFR2 (\u03b4 = 0.48, 95% CI 0.08-0.80), complement C4 (\u03b4 = 0.53, 95% CI 0.13-0.84), and lymphocyte count (\u03b4 = 0.52, 95% CI 0.15-0.85) showed the largest between-group effect sizes among the immuno-inflammatory biomarkers assessed, with higher levels in FD. Fibrinogen and sTNFR2 were the most stable predictors in LASSO bootstrap resampling (selected in 75.0% and 69.5% of iterations, respectively), and unsupervised clustering segregated FD from HCs with high accuracy (90% FD enrichment in the high-biomarker cluster; p < 0.001). These convergent findings indicate that FD is characterized by a distinct low-grade immuno-inflammatory profile dominated by innate immune and complement activation.",

Unlike canonical translation, repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of a GGGGCC hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) within an intron of the C9orf72 locus leads to the synthesis of neurotoxic dipeptide-repeat (DPR) proteins, contributing to the pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (C9-ALS/FTD). However, it remains unclear whether aberrant RAN translation is monitored and regulated co-translationally or how C9orf72 HRE (C9-HRE) mRNA is degraded during this process. Here, we demonstrate that RAN translation triggers the rapid decay of C9-HRE mRNA. During this process, the RNA exosome engages the translating ribosome-C9-HRE mRNA complex to mediate RAN translation-coupled mRNA decay. Moreover, overexpression of EXOSC3, a key subunit of the RNA exosome cap, promotes RAN translation-coupled decay of C9-HRE mRNA and suppresses DPR production. In iPSC-derived neurons, a reduction in EXOSC3 levels blocks C9-HRE mRNA decay in a translation-dependent manner, further confirming its role in RAN translation surveillance. These findings highlight the essential function of the RNA exosome, particularly EXOSC3, in mitigating RAN translation-associated toxicity and preventing pathological DPR production. This work provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies for C9-ALS/FTD and may have broader implications for other disorders involving RAN translation.",

It appears in numerous neurological diseases, including transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, mitochondrial disorders, and lysosomal storage diseases. Traditionally considered secondary to neurodegeneration, vacuolar changes frequently involve white matter and form within the myelin sheath. This review examines the evidence from various diseases and genetic models that exhibit this pathology to support the hypothesis that white matter vacuolation represents a myelin defect and explores potential causative mechanisms. Our findings suggest that spongiform change in white matter represents a common endpoint of pathway disruptions that lead to metabolic or ionic dyshomeostasis, causing an osmotic imbalance and vacuole formation within myelin. We advocate for further research into myelin-preserving pathways as potential therapeutic avenues to treat conditions exhibiting this pathology.",

In women, cardiac involvement may occur later in life and may resemble sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), particularly when extracardiac manifestations are absent or subtle. A 42-year-old woman presented with chest discomfort in 2017 and was initially diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). She underwent serial 3.0-T cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) over an 8-year period. Initial CMR showed left-ventricular hypertrophy, preserved left-ventricular ejection fraction (65.0%), increased native T1 and T2 relaxation times, extracellular volume (ECV) of 24.9%, and patchy apical late gadolinium enhancement (LGE extent, 12.35%). Five years later, worsening dyspnea was accompanied by increased left-ventricular mass index, higher native T1 and ECV, greater LGE extent (15.18%), and slow atrial fibrillation with ventricular ectopy on Holter monitoring. Genetic testing identified a likely pathogenic LAMP2 variant, c.928G>A (p.Val310Ile), supporting the diagnosis of Danon disease in the clinical context. During a subsequent readmission three years later with acute amaurosis and dyspnea, no definite neurologic cause was identified in the available record. Repeat CMR showed the highest recorded native T1 and ECV values and diffuse LGE with relatively less interventricular-septal involvement, particularly in the basal septum (LGE extent, 24.59%); repeat Holter monitoring showed frequent long R-R intervals and ventricular escape beats. Because of progressive imaging and electrical deterioration, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy and heart-transplantation assessment were recommended, and the patient ultimately chose to proceed with pre-transplant assessment in December 2025. Conclusions: Female LAMP2-related Danon disease may initially resemble HCM, but differs from it with diffusely abnormal T1/ECV measurements. Follow up in our case revealed progressive storage cardiomyopathy with diffuse myocardial injury and clinically relevant bradyarrhythmia.",

Progranulin (PGRN) constitutes a pleiotropic growth factor involved in neuroinflammation, lysosomal function, and tissue repair, which has not been adequately studied in iNPH. The purpose of this study was to examine the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of PGRN in corresponding patients with suspected iNPH and its correlation with integrated clinical, functional, and neuroradiological parameters. Methods: Thirteen patients with probable iNPH underwent an evaluation protocol, including clinical assessment, neuroradiological evaluation, Tap-test with concomitant gait analysis, and paired serum/CSF sampling. PGRN concentrations in biofluids were measured by ELISA. Correlation analyses were performed. Composite Tap-test response variable derived from quantitative gait-improvement indices was modeled using ridge-logistic regression with leave-one-out cross-validation. Results: In the between-group analyses, serum and CSF concentrations of PGRN were not correlated (r = -0.10, p = 0.74), suggesting that peripheral and intrathecal PGRN behave as non-redundant, compartment-specific readouts rather than as interchangeable measures of the same biological process. Higher CSF concentration of PGRN was nominally associated with older age (r = 0.69, p = 0.009) and with poorer turning-time improvement after the Tap-test (r = -0.62, p = 0.025), while serum concentration of PGRN showed no meaningful associations with clinical or neuroradiological variables. In the model of logistic regression, inclusion of CSF concentration of PGRN substantially improved discrimination of Tap-test response. The full ridge-logistic regression model, including serum and CSF concentration of PGRN, symptom duration, and Kiefer score, achieved an accuracy of 0.923 and an AUC of 0.881. The CSF concentration of PGRN coefficient remained consistently negative across bootstrap resamples (penalized OR 0.434; 95% CI: 0.354-0.697), indicating that higher baseline CSF concentration of PGRN was associated with a lower probability of significant short-term Tap-test response, whereas serum PGRN contributed negligibly to the model. Conclusions: The observed changes in PGRN in CSF may reflect compartment-specific intrathecal inflammatory or tissue-stress processes and may help identify patients with lower short-term responsiveness to CSF drainage. These findings support further longitudinal evaluation of CSF concentration of PGRN for biological stratification and prognostic refinement in iNPH.",

This study examined whether adsorption of Mel to Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs and MNPs-Mel, respectively), alone or combined with magnetic hyperthermia (MH), modifies cytotoxicity and cell-death phenotype in A375 melanoma cells relative to HaCaT keratinocytes. BV, free Mel, and phospholipase A2 (PLA) were first screened by Alamar Blue assay to select dose-matched conditions; MNPs-Mel (50 or 100 \u00b5g/mL MNPs, equivalent to approximately 3 or 6 \u00b5g/mL Mel) was then compared with dose-matched free Mel and unfunctionalized MNPs, and the MNP-containing groups were additionally evaluated with MH. Outcomes included metabolic activity, Annexin V/propidium iodide flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and clonogenic potential. At the lower dose, MNPs-Mel produced a larger Annexin-positive fraction in A375 than in HaCaT cells (28.30% vs. 11.80%) and a lower viable-cell fraction (71.64% vs. 87.55%); relative to dose-matched free Mel, the A375 response shifted toward early apoptosis. After MNPs-Mel plus MH, too few A375 cells remained for reliable cytometric acquisition, whereas HaCaT populations remained quantifiable and showed 25.56-29.45% apoptosis, predominantly late apoptosis. Free PLA produced smaller changes in metabolic activity than BV or Mel at composition-matched concentrations. TEM supported nanoparticle internalization and treatment-associated mitochondrial and lysosomal alterations. These findings suggest that MNP association changes the cellular presentation of low-dose Mel, while MH increases overall treatment intensity but may narrow the separation between malignant and nonmalignant cells.",

However, several crucial aspects of tissue vulnerability and resilience to amyloid deposition and toxicity remain poorly defined. The amino acid sequence of the amyloid protein is a primary determinant of organ targeting. Cryo-electron microscopy reveals common fibril architectures across organs, indicating interactions with shared tissue constituents. The interaction with the microenvironment, comprising glycosaminoglycans, collagen, endoproteases, and tissue cells, may underlie tissue vulnerability. Cellular interactions involve internalization of amyloid precursors, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, reactive oxygen species production, and proteotoxicity, particularly in cardiomyocytes and mesangial cells. Increased structural dynamics in amyloidogenic light chains promote improper interactions with cell constituents. Tissue-specific proteostasis capacity declines with age, contributing to tissue vulnerability in elderly patients. Parallels with neurodegenerative diseases underscore selective cellular susceptibility due to proteostatic overload and metabolic stress. Evidence shows that the amino acid sequence of the amyloid protein, microenvironmental factors, and cell-intrinsic and extracellular proteostatic capacity jointly determine tissue vulnerability and resilience in amyloidosis, with relative contributions varying by amyloid protein. Identifying key determinants provides actionable targets for improving the care of systemic and localized amyloidosis.",

While the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive, multi-systemic complications ultimately culminate in premature death, with heart failure being the leading cause of death. Current treatment options fail to treat Fabry disease adequately and only delay its progression. Preclinical studies on an alternative approach, systemic delivery of nucleoside-modified GLA mRNA (modGLA), suggest improved effectiveness over existing therapies in reducing glycosphingolipid levels in the heart. It remains unclear whether modGLA can rescue Fabry cardiomyopathy phenotypes at the cellular level, which are not faithfully recapitulated in current animal models. To address this, we investigated characteristic phenotypes in two new models of Fabry cardiomyopathy utilizing human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes in transcriptomic and functional analyses. These human Fabry disease cardiomyocytes displayed broad transcriptional dysregulation, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired reactive oxygen species handling, altered contractility, and enhanced calcium transient decay parameters. Mechanistically, phospholamban hyperphosphorylation may contribute to this calcium dysregulation. Consistently, modGLA therapy restored \u03b1-galactosidase A activity, reduced glycosphingolipid deposition, and normalized molecular alterations, including phospholamban hyperphosphorylation and calcium decay parameters, supporting modGLA as a promising therapeutic strategy for Fabry disease.",

However, the molecular mechanisms regulating GSDMD pore formation in these cells remain unclear. Given the established role of the lysosomal acid sphingomyelinase (ASM)-ceramide pathway in obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG), we investigated whether ASM regulates obesity-induced GSDMD pore formation and pyroptosis in podocytes, thereby influencing the progression of ORG. We found that podocyte-specific Smpd1 (the gene encoding ASM) overexpression markedly enhanced high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, GSDMD N-terminal fragment (GSDMD-NT) generation, and pyroptosis in glomeruli of Smpd1trg/Podocre mice compared to wild-type controls. Pharmacological inhibition of ASM or the NLRP3 inflammasome attenuated these pathological changes in obese mice. In contrast, inhibition of GSDMD pore formation with disulfiram (DIS) prevented HFD-induced pyroptosis without affecting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Consistently, obesity-induced podocyte injury and glomerulosclerosis were exacerbated by ASM overexpression but alleviated by inhibition of ASM, the NLRP3 inflammasome, or GSDMD pore formation. Using primary podocytes isolated from wild-type, Smpd1 knockout (Smpd1-/-), and Smpd1trg/Podocre mice, we further demonstrated that palmitic acid (PA), an obesity-associated lipotoxic factor, induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation, GSDMD pore formation, inflammasome product release, and pyroptosis. These responses were suppressed by Smpd1 deletion but enhanced by ASM overexpression. Confocal and super-resolution microscopy revealed that PA increased the accumulation of autophagosomes containing GSDMD-NT while impairing lysosome-autophagosome fusion, effects that were mitigated by Smpd1 deletion and amplified by ASM overexpression. To further elucidate the underlying mechanism, we examined whether ASM regulates lysosomal TRPML1 channel-mediated Ca2+ release, thereby controlling lysosome-autophagosome interaction and GSDMD-NT degradation. PA inhibited TRPML1 channel activity in podocytes, an effect that was intensified by ASM overexpression. Furthermore, PA-induced impairment of lysosome-autophagosome interaction and increased GSDMD pore formation were attenuated by the TRPML1 agonist ML-SA5 and exacerbated by the TRPML1 inhibitor ML-SI1. Collectively, these findings indicate that ASM regulates lysosomal function and autophagic degradation of GSDMD-NT, thereby controlling GSDMD pore formation and pyroptosis in podocytes during ORG.",

This study sought to explore the expression and biological function of TRIM32 in HNSCC tissues to identify new targets or biomarkers for HNSCC diagnosis and treatment. HNSCC samples were extracted for TRIM32 expression profiling, with subsequent integration of clinical samples for validation. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed using the c2.cp.kegg.v7.4.symbols.gmt gene set. Immune cell infiltration was evaluated using the ESTIMATE algorithm. Following TRIM32 knockdown via small interfering RNA (siRNA) in HNSCC cell lines (HSC-3, FADU), proliferation and invasion capacities were assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and Transwell assays, respectively. Western blotting was conducted to analyse protein expression within the TRIM32-p53-LAMP1/2-LC3B pathway. Integrated bioinformatics analysis and clinical sample validation revealed significantly elevated TRIM32 expression in HNSCC, correlating with poor patient prognosis. GSEA demonstrated significant enrichment of autophagy and p53 signalling pathways within the TRIM32 high-expression group. In vitro experiments confirmed that TRIM32 silencing suppressed proliferation and invasion capacities in HSC-3 and FADU cell lines. Western blotting further delineated that TRIM32 regulates autophagic flux through the TRIM32-p53-LAMP1/2-LC3B axis. The ESTIMATE algorithm indicated a significant association between TRIM32 expression and immune cell infiltration, suggesting a potential role in remodelling the tumour immune microenvironment. TRIM32 expression is significantly elevated in HNSCC, indicating its potential as an adverse prognostic marker. Experimental evidence demonstrates that TRIM32 facilitates cellular proliferation and migration, significantly influences lysosomal function and autophagy processes within HNSCC cells, and is verified to negatively regulate tumour protein 53 (TP53). These mechanisms contribute to the aggressive behaviour of HNSCC.",

This study develops dual-ligand modified nanoparticles (Reg/DMX@BPF NPs), co-loaded with the angiogenesis inhibitor regorafenib (Reg) and the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist DMXAA (DMX). Reg prevents DMX aggregation as a molecular scaffold via \u03c0-\u03c0 stacking. The folic acid (FA) and phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized BSA (BPF) facilitates active tumor targeting and metastatic site enrichment. Upon internalization into lysosomes, the acidic pH triggers boronate ester bond formation between PBA and glycoproteins, inducing lysosomal disruption and efficient cytosolic release. In addition to STING activation, the BPF potently activates toll-like receptor 4 signaling, synergistically inducing M1 tumor-associated macrophages polarization and dendritic cells maturation. In vivo results demonstrate that Reg/DMX@BPF NPs synergistically inhibit tumor proliferation, normalize pathological vasculature, and reprogram the immunosuppressive microenvironment, which leads to reduced tumor burden and ascites. Collectively, the targeted lysosome-escape nanoparticles provide a novel strategy to overcome the poor efficacy of anti-angiogenic therapy against PMC.",

It is feasible to judge the activation pathways by analyzing platelet surface annexin V, the activated fibrinogen receptor (PAC-1), and the release of lysosomal-associated membrane protein (LAMP-1), correspondingly. We postulate that, in type 2 diabetes (T2DM), surface PS of circulating platelets, unprovoked in vitro , links with whole blood (WB) agonist-induced responses. Patients and Methods After informed consent, T2DM subjects ( n = 35) were enrolled. A Percoll gradient (1.09-1.04 kg/L) separated their normal-sized platelets according to density into subpopulations ( n = 8). A flow cytometer analyzed surface annexin V (mean fluorescence intensity [MFI]) of the subfractions, unprovoked ex vivo. The datasets were subsequently correlated with platelet WB agonist-induced responses (i.e., annexin V, PAC-1, and LAMP-1 [all MFI]) to \u03b1-thrombin (10 \u03bcM), cross-linked collagen-related peptide (CRP-XL, 0.15 \u03bcg/mL), and adenosine diphosphate (ADP, 5 \u03bcM) in vitro. Results Surface annexin V (MFI) of most platelet subfractions and the magnitudes of WB agonist-induced annexin V (MFI) of normal-sized platelets in vitro associated closely. Such PS-expressing platelets also linked inversely with WB agonist-evoked surface PAC-1 (MFI) (all used agonists) and LAMP-1 (MFI) (CRP-XL, ADP only). It is concluded that surface PS, unprovoked in vitro, of most density-separated platelets connected with platelet reactivity, i.e., their WB agonist-evoked reactions in the test tube.",

Given the distinct technical requirements and challenges associated with degrading intracellular versus extracellular proteins, we classify existing TPD strategies based on subcellular localization into two categories: intracellular TPD (iTPD), which targets proteins within the cytoplasm and nucleus, and extracellular TPD (eTPD), which focuses on membrane-bound and secreted proteins. This destination-based framework facilitates precise technology selection and rational design by aligning methods with the biological context of their targets. However, the clinical translation of TPD remains constrained by a significant \"delivery gap\". Current nanotechnological approaches are often discussed monolithically, despite the fundamentally distinct delivery requirements between iTPD and eTPD. For iTPD, the primary nanocarrier role is to confer fundamental drug-like properties to overcome systemic pharmacokinetic hurdles. Conversely, for eTPD, the nanoplatform's chief function is to engineer cellular engagement, enhance internalization, and orchestrate correct intracellular trafficking to the lysosome. This review will dissect the distinct challenges inherent to each \"geographic\" space and detail the tailored nano-playbooks being developed to address them. We will further explore the convergence of these two worlds and the emergence of nanoparticles as intrinsic degraders. Ultimately, we argue that a location-aware design philosophy is essential for unlocking the full therapeutic potential of TPD.",

This study assessed two novel imidazole derivatives, DMB-PTCI and ADBPI, through an integrated multiscale approach that includes quantum chemical analysis, in vivo validation, and computational modelling. Density functional theory revealed that DMB-PTCI exhibits a narrower HOMO-LUMO gap (2.96 vs. 3.91\u00a0eV), higher electrophilicity (1.88 vs. 1.25\u00a0eV), and greater softness (0.18 vs. 0.16\u00a0eV\u207b\u00b9) compared to ADBPI, indicating enhanced reactivity. In streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, DMB-PTCI and ADBPI significantly reduced fasting blood glucose levels from 285.0\u2009\u00b1\u200915.5\u00a0mg/dL to 121.2\u2009\u00b1\u20096.7\u00a0mg/dL and 148.7\u2009\u00b1\u20096.5\u00a0mg/dL, respectively. Additionally, these treatments restored insulin levels from 3.9\u2009\u00b1\u20090.4 \u00b5IU/mL to 9.9\u2009\u00b1\u20090.4 \u00b5IU/mL and 9.2\u2009\u00b1\u20090.3 \u00b5IU/mL. Both compounds demonstrated improvements in lipid profiles, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial biomarkers. Notably, DMB-PTCI exhibited stronger effects, as indicated by lower malondialdehyde levels (53.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9 nmol/g tissue) and higher nitric oxide levels (28.7\u2009\u00b1\u20090.7 nmol/g tissue). Molecular docking studies on human lysosomal acid-\u03b1-glucosidase revealed that DMB-PTCI binds more strongly (-8.455\u00a0kcal/mol) than ADBPI (-7.590\u00a0kcal/mol) and the reference ligand (-5.102\u00a0kcal/mol). This finding is further supported by MM-PBSA binding free energy calculations, which yielded a value of -11.60\u2009\u00b1\u20098.66\u00a0kcal/mol. Additionally, ADMET analysis indicated a prolonged half-life for DMB-PTCI (108.60\u00a0h), while ADBPI demonstrated higher oral bioavailability (0.97). Overall, DMB-PTCI consistently demonstrated superior performance across theoretical, experimental, and computational evaluations. This highlights its potential as a leading candidate for managing diabetes-associated endothelial dysfunction and suggests the need for further preclinical investigation.ADMET profiling revealed safety concerns, including the risk of hepatotoxicity and poor solubility associated with DMB-PTCI, indicating the need for further structural optimization and preclinical validation prior to clinical translation.",

Sphingomyelin synthase 1 (SMS1) and sphingomyelin synthase 2 (SMS2), key enzymes involved in sphingomyelin biosynthesis, have been implicated in cancer biology, but their roles in platinum chemotherapy response remain unclear. SMS1 and SMS2 expression was evaluated in ovarian cancer cells following chemotherapy exposure. Gain- and loss-of-function approaches were used to investigate their effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and chemotherapy sensitivity, while biochemical assays were performed to explore underlying mechanisms. Cisplatin selectively induced SMS1, but not SMS2, expression at both mRNA and protein levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Silencing of either SMS1 or SMS2 inhibited cell growth, promoted apoptosis, and enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin and paclitaxel. However, only SMS1 overexpression consistently protected cells against cisplatin- and paclitaxel-induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, SMS1 depletion caused lysosomal impairment, increased lipid peroxidation, and enhanced lysosome-associated oxidative injury, whereas SMS2 depletion induced oxidative stress-related alterations without a clearly defined dominant downstream mechanism. Importantly, multiple platinum agents, including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, selectively induced SMS1 expression, and SMS1 depletion enhanced sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy. Clinical survival analysis further revealed that high SMS1 expression was associated with poorer outcomes, particularly in patients receiving Taxol plus platinum-based chemotherapy. SMS1 and SMS2 differentially regulate platinum chemotherapy sensitivity in ovarian cancer cells. SMS1 functions as a platinum-induced adaptive resistance factor by maintaining lysosomal homeostasis and supporting tumor cell survival. Disrupting SMS1-mediated adaptation may represent a potential strategy to enhance platinum chemotherapy efficacy. Although SMS2 contributes to chemotherapy response, its downstream mechanisms remain to be further elucidated.",

This study evaluated the cytotoxic and enzymatic responses of RTL-W1 cells exposed to Imidacloprid (IMI), Tebuconazole (TEB), and polyethylene microplastics (PE-MPs), individually and in mixture scenarios. Cytotoxicity was assessed using Alamar Blue, CFDA-AM, and Neutral Red Uptake assays, while cytochrome P450-1A (CYP1A) activity was evaluated through the EROD assay. Isolated exposures to IMI, TEB, and PE-MPs were not cytotoxic. In contrast, pesticide mixtures (IMI +TEB) affected all endpoints, suggesting potential interactive effects such as additive or synergistic interactions. High concentrations of TEB markedly suppressed EROD activity, whereas a combination of high IMI and low TEB concentrations induced CYP1A activity. When PE-MPs were included in the mixtures, lysosomal function was the most sensitive endpoint, particularly in combinations containing TEB. These findings provide insights into contaminant interactions in fish cells and their effects.",

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) is highly enriched in central resident microglia; it is also expressed by border-associated macrophages and lesion-infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages, rather than being restricted to parenchymal microglia, acting as a key membrane receptor regulating microglial immune balance, lipid transport, lysosomal degradation and cell polarization. Existing studies demonstrate that TREM2 binds various ligands including myelin lipid debris, apolipoprotein E (APOE) and apoptotic cell components, then activates multiple DNAX-activating protein of 12\u202fkDa (DAP12)-dependent signaling cascades: spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC\u03b32), beta-catenin and transcription factor EB (TFEB). These pathways jointly clear myelin debris, remodel cholesterol circulation, restrain pro-inflammatory microenvironment and promote oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPCs) differentiation, exerting bidirectional functions in physiological myelin homeostasis, acute injury response and chronic repair. This narrative review summarizes TREM2's gene and protein structure, ligand recognition modes and full signal transduction network. It illustrates the molecular mechanisms of TREM2 in myelin maintenance, debris clearance and regeneration, compares its distinct pathological roles in various demyelinating diseases, and concludes translational strategies including TREM2 agonism, downstream pathway intervention and biomarker exploitation. Furthermore, this narrative review analyzes unsolved core scientific issues and puts forward research routes for mechanistic research and clinical transformation, offering systematic theoretical basis for targeted drug development against demyelinating encephalopathies.",

The post-translational regulation of Fc\u03b3RI and its effects on immune regulation are unclear. In this study, we identified the membrane-associated RING-CH-type finger (MARCH) E3 ubiquitin ligases MARCH2 and MARCH3 as physiological regulators of Fc\u03b3RI. MARCH2 and MARCH3 associate with Fc\u03b3RI and mediate its K27-linked polyubiquitination at K336 and K368, respectively, leading to subsequent lysosomal degradation. While deficiency of either MARCH2 or MARCH3 modestly increases Fc\u03b3RI levels as well as LPS- and IgG-induced transcription of downstream genes, double knockout of MARCH2/3 has a more dramatic effect. Double knockout of MARCH2/3 increases LPS-induced transcription of downstream genes in wild-type but not Fc\u03b3RI knockout cells, and reconstitution of Fc\u03b3RIK336R/K368R into Fc\u03b3RI-deficient cells increases LPS-induced transcription of the downstream genes to a higher degree than reconstitution with wild-type Fc\u03b3RI. Individual knockout of MARCH2 or MARCH3 sensitizes mice to LPS-induced lung injury and Salmonella typhimurium-induced inflammation, and these effects are more severe in MARCH2/3 double-knockout mice. These findings suggest that MARCH2 and MARCH3 redundantly target Fc\u03b3RI for K27-linked polyubiquitination and lysosomal degradation, thereby acting as host factors to limit the Fc\u03b3RI-mediated inflammatory response and pathogenesis.",

Recent advances identify membrane ATG8 conjugation (atg8ylation) as a key process that links damage detection to coordinated lysosomal repair, removal, and regeneration. Beyond its canonical role in macroautophagy, membrane atg8ylation also occurs on preexisting, non-autophagosomal single membranes through Conjugation of ATG8s to Single Membranes (CASM), positioning this pathway as a rapid response to membrane stress. Two E3-like ligase complexes, ATG16L1-ATG5-ATG12 and TECPR1-ATG5-ATG12, act as complementary sensors of lysosomal injury by detecting distinct physicochemical cues, including proton gradient collapse and lipid scrambling. These ligases convert damage signals into spatially restricted membrane atg8ylation, generating a membrane-associated platform that coordinates multiple downstream pathways. These include ESCRT-dependent membrane repair, ER-lysosome lipid transfer, membrane tubulation, and stress granule formation. When repair fails, membrane atg8ylation regulates lysophagy and activates lysosomal biogenesis and regeneration to restore lysosomal homeostasis. These emerging findings define membrane atg8ylation as a central organizer of membrane quality control rather than a pathway merely confined to macroautophagy. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of how membrane atg8ylation detects lysosomal damage and how this pathway coordinates other lysosomal quality control mechanisms to maintain lysosomal integrity.",

In cancer, however, lysosomal function is not merely upregulated but selectively rewired into distinct, context-dependent states that actively drive tumor immune evasion. This review proposes a conceptual framework linking metabolic, oxidative, oncogenic, and inflammatory pressures to six dominant lysosomal rewiring programs. Chronic nutrient deprivation and hypoxia activate AMPK-ULK1 and HIF signaling, promoting TFEB/TFE3-dependent lysosomal biogenesis, hyper-acidification, and autophagosome-lysosome fusion, collectively degrading immune effectors such as IL-1\u03b2 and MHC complexes and impairing T-cell priming. Disseminated tumor cells exploit TPC2-mediated Ca2+ signaling and GLS1-dependent metabolism to buffer oxidative stress and support metastatic colonization, while dysregulated PI3K-AKT-mTOR and MYC signaling drive lysosomal peripheralization and lysosomal biogenesis through Arl8b-BORC-kinesin complexes, facilitating cathepsin-mediated exocytosis and MHC-I degradation. Chronic inflammation, sustained by tumor-associated macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and IL-6/IL-10 gradients, further reinforce immune suppression. Beyond mechanisms, we also assess the translational readiness of the implicated molecular mediators, distinguishing those with established pharmacological outcomes, such as PI3K-AKT-mTOR inhibitors and repurposed chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, from mediators that remain strictly preclinical, including TPC2, Arl8b-BORC, and CMTM6/DHHC3, or that are currently undruggable, such as TFEB/TFE3. By framing lysosomes as state-specific orchestrators of immune escape rather than uniform stress organelles, this review offers a mechanistic and translational roadmap for developing lysosome-directed strategies to restore anti-tumor immunity.",

Emerging evidence has revealed that the osteoclast lysosomal-resorption apparatus (LRA) serves not only as the principal effector system responsible for bone matrix degradation but also as a critical hub governing the circadian regulation of bone resorption. Disruption of circadian rhythms can impair LRA homeostasis and function, thereby promoting osteoclast hyperactivity and accelerating pathological bone loss. In this review, we systematically summarize the mechanistic roles of the LRA in osteoclastic bone resorption and comprehensively discuss the multilayered regulatory network through which the circadian clock modulates LRA activity. Particular emphasis is placed on the pathological significance of circadian clock-LRA interactions in distinct forms of osteoporosis. Furthermore, we highlight emerging therapeutic strategies targeting circadian regulation and lysosomal homeostasis restoration as potential approaches for osteoporosis intervention. Elucidating the mechanistic basis of the circadian clock-LRA axis will not only advance our understanding of osteoporosis pathogenesis and progression but also provide a theoretical framework for chronopharmacology and rhythm-based therapeutic interventions.

Progressive accumulation of these molecules leads to skeletal dysplasia, joint deformities, and variable systemic complications. Early features may mimic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), delaying diagnosis. We report a 16-year-old adolescent previously diagnosed with polyarticular JIA and treated with biological therapy since age 7. He presented with generalized polyarthralgia, significant skeletal deformities, and a 6 cm leg length discrepancy. Clinical examination revealed hand deformities, thoracic cage enlargement, and spinal involvement. Radiographs demonstrated dysplastic femoral heads and shoulder deformities. Laboratory tests were negative for autoimmune markers. Urinary glycosaminoglycan analysis and targeted genetic testing of the glucosamine N-acetyl-6-sulfatase (GALNS) gene confirmed Morquio syndrome. The patient was referred for genetic counseling and orthopedic management. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of differentiating MPS IV from JIA, particularly in patients with atypical skeletal features or poor response to immunomodulatory therapy. Recognition of radiological abnormalities, family history, and consanguinity is essential.

Here we identify a time-dependent exhaustion of stress granule (SG)-associated lysosomal repair during sustained infection: progressive depletion of core SG components, including G3BP1 and galectin-3 (Gal-3), undermines lysosomal membrane resealing, resulting in lysosomal deacidification and persistent cytosolic acidification. This pH imbalance suppresses glycolytic metabolism and blunts macrophage pro-inflammatory antibacterial programs, thereby enabling intracellular bacterial persistence. Since this exhausted repair module cannot be readily reconstituted by conventional pharmacological or genetic approaches, we engineer biomimetic stress granules (BSGs), Gal-3-functionalized nanodiscs cloaked in acid-responsive fusogen-expressing macrophage membrane vesicles (Gal3-NDs@EF-MNVs), to achieve sequential targeting and cytosolic delivery to damaged lysosomes. BSGs stabilize membrane lesions, suppress lysosomal leakage and restore lysosomal acidification, pH homeostasis and metabolic fitness, thereby recapitulating the 'plugging' behavior of native stress granules at sites of membrane injury.

This cross-sectional study investigates relationships between pro-CTSB and mature CTSB activity with CF-specific pathogens and airway inflammation in children with and without CF. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected from clinically indicated bronchoscopies in children (N\u2009=\u200952 CF, N\u2009=\u2009161 non-CF). CTSB was interrogated using ELISA, fluorogenic activity assay, and Western blot analysis to distinguish pro- and mature CTSB. Total bacterial and total fungal load (TFL) were quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and community composition was determined by 16S bacterial and 18S fungal sequencing. Concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines and neutrophil elastase (NE) were measured via Luminex multiplatform and a spectrophotometric assay, respectively. Analyses included Spearman's rank correlations and Wilcoxon rank-based tests. Pro-CTSB and CTSB activity were significantly (p\u2009<\u20090.01) elevated in CF BALF and in samples with a positive Staphylococcus aureus airway culture. Pro-CTSB concentrations correlated with staphylococcal relative abundance (RA,  \u03c1   =\u20090.25, p\u2009<\u20090.02) and reduced bacterial diversity (  \u03c1   \u2009=\u2009-0.41, p\u2009<\u20090.01). Mature CTSB activity correlated with TFL (  \u03c1   \u2009=\u20090.50, p\u2009<\u20090.05) and Aspergillus spp. RA (  \u03c1   \u2009=\u20090.36, p\u2009<\u20090.04).

Both CTSB measures correlated strongly with NE and proinflammatory cytokines (  \u03c1   \u2009\u2265\u20090.47, p\u2009<\u20090.001). Pro-CTSB concentrations negatively correlated with FEV1/FVC measurements in CF (  \u03c1   \u2009=\u2009-0.32, p\u2009=\u20090.05). BALF CTSB concentration may serve as a CF-specific biomarker of infection-related inflammation and obstructive lung disease driven by specific pathogen interactions.",
        "42598912": "ID: 42598912\nTitle: A live-cell autophagy reporter reveals reversible vacuolation in naked mole-rat skin fibroblasts under lysosomal stress.\nAbstract: Naked mole-rats (NMRs, Heterocephalus glaber) display unusual longevity and resistance to age-related decline, and accumulating evidence suggests that their autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP) is regulated differently from that of conventional mammalian models. However, most studies in NMR cells have relied on static biochemical or ultrastructural readouts, leaving the dynamic organisation of autophagy in living cells poorly defined. Here, we establish a stable tandem fluorescent autophagy reporter in NMR skin fibroblasts using an mCherry-EGFP-LC3NMR construct to enable live-cell, single-cell resolution analysis of ALP dynamics. Under basal conditions, NMR skin fibroblasts exhibit a greater abundance of LC3-positive structures than HeLa cells, together with a mixed population of autophagosomes and autolysosomes, indicating a distinct steady-state organisation of the ALP. Chloroquine (CQ)-induced lysosomal stress caused the expected accumulation of LC3-positive structures but also triggered the formation of large cytoplasmic vacuoles in NMR skin fibroblasts. Importantly, this vacuolation was not associated with acute cytotoxicity and progressively resolved following CQ removal, accompanied by reorganisation of LC3-positive compartments and recovery of lysosomal acidity. Electron microscopy showed that CQ-induced vacuoles are membrane-bound, containing internal material and co-existing with multiple ALP-related vesicular compartments. Primary NMR skin fibroblasts display a similar vacuolation phenotype, indicating that this response is not an artefact of immortalisation or reporter expression. Together, these findings establish a live-cell platform for analysing autophagy in NMR cells and identify a distinctive, reversible vacuolation response to lysosomal stress, consistent with dynamic remodelling of the lysosomal system within NMR skin fibroblasts.",
        "42599231": "ID: 42599231\nTitle: [Yeast as a Biochemical Model for Diseases Associated with Impaired Intracellular Proteolytic Systems].\nAbstract: The degradation of intracellular proteins is a fundamental biological process necessary for maintaining cellular homeostasis, controlling the cell cycle, regulating signal transduction, and preventing the accumulation of toxic protein aggregates. Disorders of the proteolytic systems are implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, lysosomal storage disorders, metabolic disorders, and certain types of cancer. The development of rudimentary and cost-effective models of these diseases for the purpose of evaluating novel pharmaceutical agents and elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis constitutes a pivotal medical and biological undertaking. The proteolytic apparatus of the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae has become a biochemical model organism of significant importance. This is due to its well-studied nature, low cost, ease of genetic manipulation, and evolutionary conservatism. The mechanisms of proteolytic system dysfunction can be studied in this organism. Furthermore, therapeutic approaches aimed at correcting these dysfunctional mechanisms can be sought.",
        "42599573": "ID: 42599573\nTitle: Nose-to-Brain Nanocarriers for Migraine Management: A Comprehensive Review of Drug Delivery Strategies\u00a0and Translational Challenges.\nAbstract: Migraine is among the most prevalent neurological disorders and can affect people's daily activities because of high- and long-lasting pain intensity attacks. The available dosage forms, such as oral and parenteral formulations, can enhance patients' symptoms but still have poor side effects, bioavailability, or dosing difficulty. As a result, there is an urgent need to find other novel drug delivery systems (DDSs) to treat migraine. The intranasal (IN) route was investigated as an alternative pathway to deliver therapeutic molecules directly to the brain, bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and hepatic first-pass metabolism. Nanocarriers facilitate drug transportation regardless of their lipophilicity, resulting in more efficient drug absorption and bioavailability. They also effectively contribute to brain targeting, which maximizes the therapeutic effect of drugs. This review discusses the efficacy of nanocarriers loaded with antimigraine agents and delivered by the IN route in the management of migraine. In preclinical studies, nanocarriers such as liposomes, ethosomes, nanostructured lipid carriers, and many others have been used to enhance brain targeting. Studies have focused on obtaining high results for brain pharmacokinetics, such as drug targeting efficiency (DTE) and direct transport percentage (DTP). This leads to better drug accumulation and a rapid onset of action. Despite the proven success of preclinical studies on the delivery of migraine drugs loaded with nanocarriers through the IN route, there is still a shortage in translating this success into the clinical stage."
