However, its exact role and underlying mechanism remain obscure. The current study found that aged apoE4-targeted replacement (TR) mice displayed obvious depression-like behavior when compared with age-matched apoE3-TR mice. Furthermore, apoE4 increased stress-induced depression-like behaviors, accompanied by declines in the hippocampal 5-HT (1A) radioligand [18F] MPPF uptake evidenced by positron emission tomography (PET). In [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET ([18F]-FDG PET) analyses, the FDG uptake in the prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex and hippocampus of apoE4-TR mice significantly declined when compared with that of apoE3-TR mice after acute stress. Further biochemical analysis revealed that ATP levels in the prefrontal cortex of apoE4-TR mice decreased during aging or stress process and ATP supplementation effectively rescued the depression-like behaviors of elderly apoE4-TR mice. In primary cultured astrocytes from the cortex of apoE-TR mice, apoE4, when compared with apoE3, obviously decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial respiration, and glycolysis in a culture time-dependent manner. Our findings highlight that apoE4 is a potential risk factor of depression in elderly population by impairing the glucose metabolism, reducing ATP level, and damaging mitochondrial functions in astrocytes, which indicates that in clinical settings ATP supplementation may be effective for elderly depression patients with apoE4 carrier."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42614552\nTitle: Reprogramming brain bioenergetics in depression: an integrative framework linking creatine, branched-chain amino acids, and exercise to neuroplasticity, cognitive function, and depression-related outcomes.\nAbstract: Depression represents a multifaceted neuropsychiatric disorder distinguished by disruptions in cerebral energy metabolism, neurotransmitter communication, neuroplasticity, and cognitive processes. An increasing body of literature indicates that integrative non-pharmacological interventions aimed at metabolic and neurochemical pathways may present promising adjunctive strategies for ameliorating depressive manifestations and concomitant cognitive impairments. This review explores the prospective combined effects of creatine supplementation, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and physical exercise as a multimodal bioenergetic intervention for the management of depression. Creatine is pivotal in maintaining neuronal energy equilibrium via the phosphocreatine system, thereby facilitating mitochondrial functionality and adenosine triphosphate availability within neural cells. BCAAs may influence central fatigue and exercise performance through competitive inhibition of tryptophan transport across the blood-brain barrier. Importantly, this mechanism primarily reflects acute exercise-related serotonergic responses associated with central fatigue and should not be considered mechanistically equivalent to the chronic serotonergic dysfunction observed in major depressive disorder. Accordingly, within the context of depression, BCAAs are discussed as indirect modulators of mental health outcomes through their effects on fatigue perception, exercise tolerance, and adherence to physical activity, rather than as direct serotonergic antidepressant interventions. Concurrently, consistent engagement in physical exercise activates critical neuroplasticity-associated signaling pathways, which are instrumental in promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and enhancing stress resilience. Emerging empirical evidence derived from both experimental and clinical investigations suggests that the combined application of these interventions may exert complementary influences on brain bioenergetics, neuroplasticity, exercise capacity, and cognitive function. Collectively, this integrative paradigm highlights the potential of creatine supplementation, BCAAs, and physical exercise to support depression-related outcomes through distinct yet complementary mechanisms involving bioenergetic regulation, enhanced exercise capacity, neuroplastic adaptations, and improved cognitive and emotional functioning."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42613696\nTitle: An Innovative Strategy for Treating Neurodegenerative Disorders through Exosome-based Smart Delivery Systems: A Comprehensive Review.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are devastating brain disorders. The complex pathophysiology of the diseases and the lack of effective treatments have left them almost unexplored and untreatable. One potential approach to PD and AD therapy development is through exosomes, a delivery system that can be translated from innovative delivery techniques into clinical use. These exosome-based therapeutics will require thorough testing, research-driven refinement of engineering methods, and collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and industry to develop exosome therapeutics for clinical use. This review explores the biological properties of exosomes, recent engineering advances to improve their therapeutic potential, and new methods to leverage their versatility for selective delivery of remedial agents to the brain. In addition, preclinical evidence demonstrates that exosomes can modulate amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, \u03b1-synuclein pathology, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Yet difficulties related to mass production, maintaining quality, and obtaining regulatory approvals to bring them into clinical practice remain significant limiting factors. The authors point out the therapeutic advantages and drawbacks of exosome-based drug delivery systems. Besides, it provides a roadmap for harnessing these methods effectively as medical interventions for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disorders, thereby promoting more studies in the area. Finally, we outline a conceptual model for translating novel exosome-based delivery methods into clinically applicable treatment modalities for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, thereby encouraging continued exploration in this promising field of research."

This study aims to investigate whether ENA improves CSD-induced cognitive impairment by regulating neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. The modified multi-platform water environment method was used to establish the CSD model. Electroacupuncture or sham electroacupuncture was used to treat bilateral cervical acupoints (Fengchi and Gongxue) for 20\u202fmin, once a day for 14\u202fdays. The Morris water maze experiment evaluated spatial learning and memory in rats, and the new object recognition experiment evaluated recognition memory. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining and Western Blot (WB) were used to detect the expression levels of the hippocampal neurogenesis markers, doublecortin (DCX) and Ki-67. Golgi-Cox staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the changes in neurons and synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Neurocognitive impairment induced by CSD is associated with abnormal changes in hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. The results of IF and WB showed that the protein expressions of DCX and Ki-67 in the hippocampus of CSD rats were significantly decreased. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that in the DG region of the hippocampus of CSD rats, the synaptic density and the thickness of the postsynaptic density membrane decreased, while the synaptic cleft width increased. Golgi staining showed that the density of dendritic spines in the DG area of the hippocampus in CSD rats decreased significantly, especially mushroom-shaped dendritic spines. ENA can enhance spatial learning and memory, as well as recognition memory, induced by CSD, and effectively reverse the abnormal changes in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the DG region of the hippocampus. In male Wistar rats, ENA improves neurocognitive function by promoting neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and restoring synaptic plasticity, thereby reconstructing neural memory circuits. ENA therapy offers a new strategy for treating cognitive impairments related to chronic sleep deprivation in males, and holds potential significance for the clinical management of cognitive impairment diseases."

While immune dysregulation initiates disease pathology, the molecular mechanisms linking chronic inflammation to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress remain incompletely understood. An integrative, multi-layered systems biology approach was applied to four independent RNA-sequencing datasets derived from MS white matter lesions, lesion-border microglia/macrophages, and Epstein-Barr virus-associated B cells. Differential gene expression analysis was combined with targeted prioritization of mitochondrial and oxidative stress-related genes using curated databases. Protein-protein interaction network construction, hub gene identification, Gene Ontology, and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify prioritized mitochondrial genes and enriched biological pathways. Independent validation was conducted using CNS-specific TNMplot expression profiling, and prognostic relevance was assessed through immunogenomic survival analysis. Structural and functional impacts of prioritized variants were evaluated using in silico pathogenicity prediction, protein stability analysis, secondary structure modeling, and three-dimensional structural assessment, including MutPred2 and HOPE analyses. Transcriptomic integration revealed consistent dysregulation of gene expression profiles across all datasets. Functional enrichment analyses identified mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation as the most significantly enriched biological process, suggesting an association between altered mitochondrial respiratory pathways and MS-related molecular signatures. Network and enrichment analyses consistently prioritized UQCRC1 and COX4I1 as key mitochondrial hub genes, corresponding to core subunits of respiratory chain complexes III and IV, respectively. These genes were recurrently enriched across biological processes, cellular components, molecular functions, and neurodegeneration-related pathways. CNS-restricted validation confirmed their differential expression, while immunogenomic analysis demonstrated that higher expression levels were associated with improved overall survival. Variant-level analysis identified UQCRC1 (G235R, L197R) and COX4I1 (G155C, P152R) as deleterious substitutions predicted to destabilize protein structure, disrupt domain interactions, and impair electron transport efficiency. Functional predictions further indicated altered catalytic activity, metal binding, and structural integrity, supporting their potential functional relevance to mitochondrial biology. This study demonstrates that mitochondrial respiratory chain-related pathways, particularly those involving complexes III and IV, are consistently associated with the transcriptomic alterations observed in multiple sclerosis. UQCRC1 and COX4I1 emerged as prioritized mitochondrial hub genes supported by integrated transcriptomic, network, prognostic, and structural analyses. These findings provide evidence that mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox homeostasis may contribute to MS pathobiology and warrant further experimental investigation as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets."

However, its exact role and underlying mechanism remain obscure. The current study found that aged apoE4-targeted replacement (TR) mice displayed obvious depression-like behavior when compared with age-matched apoE3-TR mice. Furthermore, apoE4 increased stress-induced depression-like behaviors, accompanied by declines in the hippocampal 5-HT (1A) radioligand [18F] MPPF uptake evidenced by positron emission tomography (PET). In [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET ([18F]-FDG PET) analyses, the FDG uptake in the prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex and hippocampus of apoE4-TR mice significantly declined when compared with that of apoE3-TR mice after acute stress. Further biochemical analysis revealed that ATP levels in the prefrontal cortex of apoE4-TR mice decreased during aging or stress process and ATP supplementation effectively rescued the depression-like behaviors of elderly apoE4-TR mice. In primary cultured astrocytes from the cortex of apoE-TR mice, apoE4, when compared with apoE3, obviously decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial respiration, and glycolysis in a culture time-dependent manner. Our findings highlight that apoE4 is a potential risk factor of depression in elderly population by impairing the glucose metabolism, reducing ATP level, and damaging mitochondrial functions in astrocytes, which indicates that in clinical settings ATP supplementation may be effective for elderly depression patients with apoE4 carrier."

An increasing body of literature indicates that integrative non-pharmacological interventions aimed at metabolic and neurochemical pathways may present promising adjunctive strategies for ameliorating depressive manifestations and concomitant cognitive impairments. This review explores the prospective combined effects of creatine supplementation, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and physical exercise as a multimodal bioenergetic intervention for the management of depression. Creatine is pivotal in maintaining neuronal energy equilibrium via the phosphocreatine system, thereby facilitating mitochondrial functionality and adenosine triphosphate availability within neural cells. BCAAs may influence central fatigue and exercise performance through competitive inhibition of tryptophan transport across the blood-brain barrier. Importantly, this mechanism primarily reflects acute exercise-related serotonergic responses associated with central fatigue and should not be considered mechanistically equivalent to the chronic serotonergic dysfunction observed in major depressive disorder. Accordingly, within the context of depression, BCAAs are discussed as indirect modulators of mental health outcomes through their effects on fatigue perception, exercise tolerance, and adherence to physical activity, rather than as direct serotonergic antidepressant interventions. Concurrently, consistent engagement in physical exercise activates critical neuroplasticity-associated signaling pathways, which are instrumental in promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and enhancing stress resilience. Emerging empirical evidence derived from both experimental and clinical investigations suggests that the combined application of these interventions may exert complementary influences on brain bioenergetics, neuroplasticity, exercise capacity, and cognitive function. Collectively, this integrative paradigm highlights the potential of creatine supplementation, BCAAs, and physical exercise to support depression-related outcomes through distinct yet complementary mechanisms involving bioenergetic regulation, enhanced exercise capacity, neuroplastic adaptations, and improved cognitive and emotional functioning."

The complex pathophysiology of the diseases and the lack of effective treatments have left them almost unexplored and untreatable. One potential approach to PD and AD therapy development is through exosomes, a delivery system that can be translated from innovative delivery techniques into clinical use. These exosome-based therapeutics will require thorough testing, research-driven refinement of engineering methods, and collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and industry to develop exosome therapeutics for clinical use. This review explores the biological properties of exosomes, recent engineering advances to improve their therapeutic potential, and new methods to leverage their versatility for selective delivery of remedial agents to the brain. In addition, preclinical evidence demonstrates that exosomes can modulate amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, \u03b1-synuclein pathology, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Yet difficulties related to mass production, maintaining quality, and obtaining regulatory approvals to bring them into clinical practice remain significant limiting factors. The authors point out the therapeutic advantages and drawbacks of exosome-based drug delivery systems. Besides, it provides a roadmap for harnessing these methods effectively as medical interventions for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disorders, thereby promoting more studies in the area. Finally, we outline a conceptual model for translating novel exosome-based delivery methods into clinically applicable treatment modalities for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, thereby encouraging continued exploration in this promising field of research."

However, the reason for the association between APOE4 and AD remains unclear. While much of the research has focused on the ability of the apoE4 protein to increase the aggregation and decrease the clearance of A\u03b2, there is also an abundance of data showing that APOE4 negatively impacts many additional processes in the brain, including bioenergetics. In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of APOE4's role in AD pathogenesis, we performed a transcriptomics analysis of APOE4 vs. APOE3 expression in the entorhinal cortex (EC) and primary visual cortex (PVC) of aged APOE mice. This study revealed EC-specific upregulation of genes related to oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos). Follow-up analysis utilizing the Seahorse platform showed decreased mitochondrial respiration with age in the hippocampus and cortex of\u00a0APOE4 vs. APOE3 mice, but not in the EC of these mice. Additional studies, as well as the original transcriptomics data, suggest that multiple bioenergetic pathways are differentially regulated by APOE4 expression in the EC of aged APOE mice in order to increase the mitochondrial coupling efficiency in this region. Given the importance of the EC as one of the first regions to be affected by AD pathology in humans, the observation that the EC is susceptible to differential bioenergetic regulation in response to a metabolic stressor such as APOE4 may point to a causative factor in the pathogenesis of AD."

In zebrafish, M\u00fcller glia (MG) serve as retinal stem cells to replenish lost neurons after injury. In contrast, mammalian MG do not spontaneously re-enter the cell cycle, and limited neurogenesis occurs in response to neurotoxic injury. Here, we demonstrate that activation of FGF2/MAPK signaling, following AAV-mediated gene transfer of Ascl1, effectively stimulates lineage-traced MG to undergo robust cell-cycle re-entry in adult mice, independent of neurotoxic injury. With the addition of retinoic acid, this approach further reprograms a significant proportion of proliferative MG-derived progenitor-like cells into regenerative states, driving enhanced in vivo neurogenesis. Using multiplex techniques, we reveal distinct phases of cell fate transitions during in vivo MG-derived neurogenesis. This approach provides a two-step strategy for inducing MG proliferation and subsequent MG-derived neurogenesis, which may represent a potent avenue toward retinal regeneration."

However, its role in cardiomyocyte physiological and stress response remains unclear. Here, we investigated the function of TMEM175 in mitochondrial homeostasis using H9c2 cardiomyocytes and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) under physiological conditions and during hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. Under physiological conditions, genetic knockout of TMEM175 impaired mitochondrial respiration, reduced mitochondrial superoxide, and attenuated autophagic clearance. In contrast, under H2O2-induced stress, TMEM175 deletion significantly alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death, despite autophagic flux being primarily stalled at the degradation stage. Mechanistically, TMEM175 deficiency activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and silencing AMPK reversed the cytoprotective effects of TMEM175 deletion against H2O2 injury. Pharmacological inhibition of TMEM175 with 2-phenylpyridin-4-ylamine (2-PPA) in H9c2 and NRVMs recapitulated key phenotypes observed in genetic knockout models. Furthermore, 2-PPA improved cardiac function and attenuated histopathological injury in myocardial infarction mice. Together, these findings reveal a dual role for TMEM175: it maintains lysosomal-mitochondrial communication under basal conditions, yet its inhibition protects against oxidative stress primarily through AMPK activation. This study identifies TMEM175 as a novel lysosomal regulator of cardiac mitochondrial resilience and highlights its potential role in the cellular response to oxidative injury in cardiomyocytes."

Recent evidence suggests direct involvement of skeletal muscle in addition to peripheral nerve degeneration. We investigated muscle biopsies from 4 genetically confirmed CMT-SORD patients using an integrative approach. Histological evaluation revealed features of chronic denervation with grouped fiber atrophy, fiber-type grouping and central nuclei, ie, non-specific neurogenic muscle atrophy. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated mitochondrial abnormalities and expansion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Proteomic profiling identified 220 significantly dysregulated proteins in CMT-SORD muscle, including alterations in mitochondrial complex I components, redox enzymes, and metabolic regulators distinct from changes observed in other rare recessive CMTs. Quantitative PCR validated increased levels of NNMT, POSTN, TACO1, as well as complement and immunomodulatory factors, suggesting mitochondrial stress, compensatory metabolic activation and tissue remodeling. Despite mitochondrial vulnerability, serum studies indicated that GDF-15 and FGF-21 did not appear to be suitable biomarkers for CMT-SORD. These findings demonstrate that SORD deficiency induces molecular and structural changes in skeletal muscle that extend beyond denervation, implicating impaired sorbitol metabolism, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction as intrinsic myopathic features of SORD-related CMT2.

Emerging evidence indicates that neural inputs shape tumour behaviour through both direct and indirect mechanisms. Neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and neurotrophic factors act on tumour cells, stromal cells, endothelial cells and immune cells to regulate proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion. In parallel, the TME feeds back to the nervous system through inflammatory mediators, extracellular vesicles, axon guidance molecules and metabolic signals, thereby driving axonogenesis, tumour innervation, Schwann cell reprogramming, neuronal hyperexcitability and synaptic remodelling. These reciprocal interactions establish dynamic neuro-immune-metabolic feedback loops that sustain tumour progression and therapeutic resistance. Particularly in glioma and other highly innervated malignancies, activity-dependent neuron-tumour communication further highlights the functional integration between neural circuits and cancer. In this Review, we summarize the structural and molecular basis of neural components within the TME, discuss neurotransmitter receptor-mediated signalling and indirect regulation of immune, vascular, stromal and metabolic niches, and outline how tumour-derived signals remodel peripheral and central neural systems. We further highlight emerging therapeutic opportunities targeting \u03b2-adrenergic signalling, neurotrophin pathways, extracellular vesicle-mediated tumour innervation, Schwann cell-associated perineural invasion circuits, and neuron-tumour synaptic coupling. Finally, we discuss current translational challenges, including tumour-type heterogeneity, context-dependent neural effects, evidence-level heterogeneity and the need for spatially resolved biomarkers, and propose that incorporating the neural dimension into future mechanism-guided studies may inform biomarker-stratified trials and symptom-oriented interventions, with the long-term goal of improving both tumour control and neurological outcomes."

Oxidized phosphatidylcholines (PC-OxPL) have emerged as potent inducers of proteinopathy in the central nervous system (CNS), but their role in ALS has not been systematically explored. We identify a distinct PC-OxPL signature in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with sporadic ALS (sALS) and show that apolipoprotein E (apoE)-containing particles are the primary PC-OxPL carriers in this compartment. In human iPSC-derived motor neurons, PC-OxPL exposure triggered disease-relevant transcriptional alterations and TDP-43 pathology, establishing PC-OxPL as a mediator of ALS-like neurodegeneration in vitro. To counteract this toxicity, we engineered an Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-delivered single-chain antibody fragment (scFv), PC-OxPL-VecTab, targeting PC-OxPL neoepitopes. PC-OxPL-VecTab neutralized PC-OxPL-induced neurotoxicity, reduced TDP-43 aggregation, and prevented motor neuron death and behavioral deficits in a sALS CSF transfer mouse model. Intrathecal delivery of PC-OxPL-VecTab in minipigs achieved broad CNS biodistribution and transgene expression, supporting the feasibility of CNS delivery. These findings position PC-OxPL as a mechanistic contributor to ALS pathogenesis and establish PC-OxPL-VecTab as a therapeutic strategy for ALS with potential broader applicability to disorders associated with PC-OxPL accumulation."

Current evidence supports independent roles for these factors in metabolic and neuroplastic regulation, yet explicit evidence confirming their convergent stabilization of respiratory complexes as a singular requisite for hippocampal neurogenesis remains unproven and requires further mechanistic interrogation.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe interplay between systemic metabolic state and central nervous system (CNS) repair is an emerging frontier. ApoE4 has been identified as a key disruptor of bioenergetics; \"apoE4, when compared with apoE3, obviously decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial respiration, and glycolysis in a culture time-dependent manner.\" Parallel research on EVs demonstrates their versatility in metabolic support, as \"preclinical evidence demonstrates that exosomes can modulate amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, \u03b1-synuclein pathology, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.\" The convergence of these mechanisms toward hippocampal structural plasticity is suggested by studies on chronic sleep deprivation, where \"ENA can enhance spatial learning and memory, as well as recognition memory, induced by CSD, and effectively reverse the abnormal changes in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the DG region of the hippocampus.\" Furthermore, exogenous metabolic support like \"Creatine is pivotal in maintaining neuronal energy equilibrium via the phosphocreatine system, thereby facilitating mitochondrial functionality and adenosine triphosphate availability within neural cells.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* ApoE4 is not merely a transport protein but a metabolic stressor that impairs mitochondrial membrane potential and glycolysis in astrocytes.\n* EVs possess a 30-fold higher ganglioside content than the parent cells, suggesting unique signaling capabilities in mediating neuroplasticity.\n* The entorhinal cortex exhibits region-specific bioenergetic regulation, contrasting with the cortex and hippocampus, indicating differential susceptibility to ApoE4.\n* \"Neurogenesis without division\" in cortical immature neurons (cINs) offers a paradigm shift in how we view brain structural plasticity.\n* Pharmacological inhibition of the lysosomal channel TMEM175 can alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction under oxidative stress through AMPK activation.\n* SORD-related neuropathies demonstrate that muscle tissue itself is an active site of mitochondrial complex I and metabolic regulation, complicating systemic disease models.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

However, its exact role and underlying mechanism remain obscure. The current study found that aged apoE4-targeted replacement (TR) mice displayed obvious depression-like behavior when compared with age-matched apoE3-TR mice. Furthermore, apoE4 increased stress-induced depression-like behaviors, accompanied by declines in the hippocampal 5-HT (1A) radioligand [18F] MPPF uptake evidenced by positron emission tomography (PET). In [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET ([18F]-FDG PET) analyses, the FDG uptake in the prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex and hippocampus of apoE4-TR mice significantly declined when compared with that of apoE3-TR mice after acute stress. Further biochemical analysis revealed that ATP levels in the prefrontal cortex of apoE4-TR mice decreased during aging or stress process and ATP supplementation effectively rescued the depression-like behaviors of elderly apoE4-TR mice. In primary cultured astrocytes from the cortex of apoE-TR mice, apoE4, when compared with apoE3, obviously decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial respiration, and glycolysis in a culture time-dependent manner. Our findings highlight that apoE4 is a potential risk factor of depression in elderly population by impairing the glucose metabolism, reducing ATP level, and damaging mitochondrial functions in astrocytes, which indicates that in clinical settings ATP supplementation may be effective for elderly depression patients with apoE4 carrier."

An increasing body of literature indicates that integrative non-pharmacological interventions aimed at metabolic and neurochemical pathways may present promising adjunctive strategies for ameliorating depressive manifestations and concomitant cognitive impairments. This review explores the prospective combined effects of creatine supplementation, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and physical exercise as a multimodal bioenergetic intervention for the management of depression. Creatine is pivotal in maintaining neuronal energy equilibrium via the phosphocreatine system, thereby facilitating mitochondrial functionality and adenosine triphosphate availability within neural cells. BCAAs may influence central fatigue and exercise performance through competitive inhibition of tryptophan transport across the blood-brain barrier. Importantly, this mechanism primarily reflects acute exercise-related serotonergic responses associated with central fatigue and should not be considered mechanistically equivalent to the chronic serotonergic dysfunction observed in major depressive disorder. Accordingly, within the context of depression, BCAAs are discussed as indirect modulators of mental health outcomes through their effects on fatigue perception, exercise tolerance, and adherence to physical activity, rather than as direct serotonergic antidepressant interventions. Concurrently, consistent engagement in physical exercise activates critical neuroplasticity-associated signaling pathways, which are instrumental in promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and enhancing stress resilience. Emerging empirical evidence derived from both experimental and clinical investigations suggests that the combined application of these interventions may exert complementary influences on brain bioenergetics, neuroplasticity, exercise capacity, and cognitive function. Collectively, this integrative paradigm highlights the potential of creatine supplementation, BCAAs, and physical exercise to support depression-related outcomes through distinct yet complementary mechanisms involving bioenergetic regulation, enhanced exercise capacity, neuroplastic adaptations, and improved cognitive and emotional functioning."

The complex pathophysiology of the diseases and the lack of effective treatments have left them almost unexplored and untreatable. One potential approach to PD and AD therapy development is through exosomes, a delivery system that can be translated from innovative delivery techniques into clinical use. These exosome-based therapeutics will require thorough testing, research-driven refinement of engineering methods, and collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and industry to develop exosome therapeutics for clinical use. This review explores the biological properties of exosomes, recent engineering advances to improve their therapeutic potential, and new methods to leverage their versatility for selective delivery of remedial agents to the brain. In addition, preclinical evidence demonstrates that exosomes can modulate amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, \u03b1-synuclein pathology, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Yet difficulties related to mass production, maintaining quality, and obtaining regulatory approvals to bring them into clinical practice remain significant limiting factors. The authors point out the therapeutic advantages and drawbacks of exosome-based drug delivery systems. Besides, it provides a roadmap for harnessing these methods effectively as medical interventions for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disorders, thereby promoting more studies in the area. Finally, we outline a conceptual model for translating novel exosome-based delivery methods into clinically applicable treatment modalities for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, thereby encouraging continued exploration in this promising field of research."

This study aims to investigate whether ENA improves CSD-induced cognitive impairment by regulating neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. The modified multi-platform water environment method was used to establish the CSD model. Electroacupuncture or sham electroacupuncture was used to treat bilateral cervical acupoints (Fengchi and Gongxue) for 20\u202fmin, once a day for 14\u202fdays. The Morris water maze experiment evaluated spatial learning and memory in rats, and the new object recognition experiment evaluated recognition memory. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining and Western Blot (WB) were used to detect the expression levels of the hippocampal neurogenesis markers, doublecortin (DCX) and Ki-67. Golgi-Cox staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the changes in neurons and synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Neurocognitive impairment induced by CSD is associated with abnormal changes in hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. The results of IF and WB showed that the protein expressions of DCX and Ki-67 in the hippocampus of CSD rats were significantly decreased. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that in the DG region of the hippocampus of CSD rats, the synaptic density and the thickness of the postsynaptic density membrane decreased, while the synaptic cleft width increased. Golgi staining showed that the density of dendritic spines in the DG area of the hippocampus in CSD rats decreased significantly, especially mushroom-shaped dendritic spines. ENA can enhance spatial learning and memory, as well as recognition memory, induced by CSD, and effectively reverse the abnormal changes in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the DG region of the hippocampus. In male Wistar rats, ENA improves neurocognitive function by promoting neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and restoring synaptic plasticity, thereby reconstructing neural memory circuits. ENA therapy offers a new strategy for treating cognitive impairments related to chronic sleep deprivation in males, and holds potential significance for the clinical management of cognitive impairment diseases."

While immune dysregulation initiates disease pathology, the molecular mechanisms linking chronic inflammation to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress remain incompletely understood. An integrative, multi-layered systems biology approach was applied to four independent RNA-sequencing datasets derived from MS white matter lesions, lesion-border microglia/macrophages, and Epstein-Barr virus-associated B cells. Differential gene expression analysis was combined with targeted prioritization of mitochondrial and oxidative stress-related genes using curated databases. Protein-protein interaction network construction, hub gene identification, Gene Ontology, and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify prioritized mitochondrial genes and enriched biological pathways. Independent validation was conducted using CNS-specific TNMplot expression profiling, and prognostic relevance was assessed through immunogenomic survival analysis. Structural and functional impacts of prioritized variants were evaluated using in silico pathogenicity prediction, protein stability analysis, secondary structure modeling, and three-dimensional structural assessment, including MutPred2 and HOPE analyses. Transcriptomic integration revealed consistent dysregulation of gene expression profiles across all datasets. Functional enrichment analyses identified mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation as the most significantly enriched biological process, suggesting an association between altered mitochondrial respiratory pathways and MS-related molecular signatures. Network and enrichment analyses consistently prioritized UQCRC1 and COX4I1 as key mitochondrial hub genes, corresponding to core subunits of respiratory chain complexes III and IV, respectively. These genes were recurrently enriched across biological processes, cellular components, molecular functions, and neurodegeneration-related pathways. CNS-restricted validation confirmed their differential expression, while immunogenomic analysis demonstrated that higher expression levels were associated with improved overall survival. Variant-level analysis identified UQCRC1 (G235R, L197R) and COX4I1 (G155C, P152R) as deleterious substitutions predicted to destabilize protein structure, disrupt domain interactions, and impair electron transport efficiency. Functional predictions further indicated altered catalytic activity, metal binding, and structural integrity, supporting their potential functional relevance to mitochondrial biology. This study demonstrates that mitochondrial respiratory chain-related pathways, particularly those involving complexes III and IV, are consistently associated with the transcriptomic alterations observed in multiple sclerosis. UQCRC1 and COX4I1 emerged as prioritized mitochondrial hub genes supported by integrated transcriptomic, network, prognostic, and structural analyses. These findings provide evidence that mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox homeostasis may contribute to MS pathobiology and warrant further experimental investigation as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets."

In zebrafish, M\u00fcller glia (MG) serve as retinal stem cells to replenish lost neurons after injury. In contrast, mammalian MG do not spontaneously re-enter the cell cycle, and limited neurogenesis occurs in response to neurotoxic injury. Here, we demonstrate that activation of FGF2/MAPK signaling, following AAV-mediated gene transfer of Ascl1, effectively stimulates lineage-traced MG to undergo robust cell-cycle re-entry in adult mice, independent of neurotoxic injury. With the addition of retinoic acid, this approach further reprograms a significant proportion of proliferative MG-derived progenitor-like cells into regenerative states, driving enhanced in vivo neurogenesis. Using multiplex techniques, we reveal distinct phases of cell fate transitions during in vivo MG-derived neurogenesis. This approach provides a two-step strategy for inducing MG proliferation and subsequent MG-derived neurogenesis, which may represent a potent avenue toward retinal regeneration."

However, its role in cardiomyocyte physiological and stress response remains unclear. Here, we investigated the function of TMEM175 in mitochondrial homeostasis using H9c2 cardiomyocytes and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) under physiological conditions and during hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. Under physiological conditions, genetic knockout of TMEM175 impaired mitochondrial respiration, reduced mitochondrial superoxide, and attenuated autophagic clearance. In contrast, under H2O2-induced stress, TMEM175 deletion significantly alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death, despite autophagic flux being primarily stalled at the degradation stage. Mechanistically, TMEM175 deficiency activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and silencing AMPK reversed the cytoprotective effects of TMEM175 deletion against H2O2 injury. Pharmacological inhibition of TMEM175 with 2-phenylpyridin-4-ylamine (2-PPA) in H9c2 and NRVMs recapitulated key phenotypes observed in genetic knockout models. Furthermore, 2-PPA improved cardiac function and attenuated histopathological injury in myocardial infarction mice. Together, these findings reveal a dual role for TMEM175: it maintains lysosomal-mitochondrial communication under basal conditions, yet its inhibition protects against oxidative stress primarily through AMPK activation. This study identifies TMEM175 as a novel lysosomal regulator of cardiac mitochondrial resilience and highlights its potential role in the cellular response to oxidative injury in cardiomyocytes."

Recent evidence suggests direct involvement of skeletal muscle in addition to peripheral nerve degeneration. We investigated muscle biopsies from 4 genetically confirmed CMT-SORD patients using an integrative approach. Histological evaluation revealed features of chronic denervation with grouped fiber atrophy, fiber-type grouping and central nuclei, ie, non-specific neurogenic muscle atrophy. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated mitochondrial abnormalities and expansion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Proteomic profiling identified 220 significantly dysregulated proteins in CMT-SORD muscle, including alterations in mitochondrial complex I components, redox enzymes, and metabolic regulators distinct from changes observed in other rare recessive CMTs. Quantitative PCR validated increased levels of NNMT, POSTN, TACO1, as well as complement and immunomodulatory factors, suggesting mitochondrial stress, compensatory metabolic activation and tissue remodeling. Despite mitochondrial vulnerability, serum studies indicated that GDF-15 and FGF-21 did not appear to be suitable biomarkers for CMT-SORD. These findings demonstrate that SORD deficiency induces molecular and structural changes in skeletal muscle that extend beyond denervation, implicating impaired sorbitol metabolism, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction as intrinsic myopathic features of SORD-related CMT2. They indicate the need for therapeutic strategies targeting both neuronal and muscular compartments."

Emerging evidence indicates that neural inputs shape tumour behaviour through both direct and indirect mechanisms. Neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and neurotrophic factors act on tumour cells, stromal cells, endothelial cells and immune cells to regulate proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion. In parallel, the TME feeds back to the nervous system through inflammatory mediators, extracellular vesicles, axon guidance molecules and metabolic signals, thereby driving axonogenesis, tumour innervation, Schwann cell reprogramming, neuronal hyperexcitability and synaptic remodelling. These reciprocal interactions establish dynamic neuro-immune-metabolic feedback loops that sustain tumour progression and therapeutic resistance. Particularly in glioma and other highly innervated malignancies, activity-dependent neuron-tumour communication further highlights the functional integration between neural circuits and cancer. In this Review, we summarize the structural and molecular basis of neural components within the TME, discuss neurotransmitter receptor-mediated signalling and indirect regulation of immune, vascular, stromal and metabolic niches, and outline how tumour-derived signals remodel peripheral and central neural systems. We further highlight emerging therapeutic opportunities targeting \u03b2-adrenergic signalling, neurotrophin pathways, extracellular vesicle-mediated tumour innervation, Schwann cell-associated perineural invasion circuits, and neuron-tumour synaptic coupling. Finally, we discuss current translational challenges, including tumour-type heterogeneity, context-dependent neural effects, evidence-level heterogeneity and the need for spatially resolved biomarkers, and propose that incorporating the neural dimension into future mechanism-guided studies may inform biomarker-stratified trials and symptom-oriented interventions, with the long-term goal of improving both tumour control and neurological outcomes."

Oxidized phosphatidylcholines (PC-OxPL) have emerged as potent inducers of proteinopathy in the central nervous system (CNS), but their role in ALS has not been systematically explored. We identify a distinct PC-OxPL signature in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with sporadic ALS (sALS) and show that apolipoprotein E (apoE)-containing particles are the primary PC-OxPL carriers in this compartment. In human iPSC-derived motor neurons, PC-OxPL exposure triggered disease-relevant transcriptional alterations and TDP-43 pathology, establishing PC-OxPL as a mediator of ALS-like neurodegeneration in vitro. To counteract this toxicity, we engineered an Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-delivered single-chain antibody fragment (scFv), PC-OxPL-VecTab, targeting PC-OxPL neoepitopes. PC-OxPL-VecTab neutralized PC-OxPL-induced neurotoxicity, reduced TDP-43 aggregation, and prevented motor neuron death and behavioral deficits in a sALS CSF transfer mouse model. Intrathecal delivery of PC-OxPL-VecTab in minipigs achieved broad CNS biodistribution and transgene expression, supporting the feasibility of CNS delivery. These findings position PC-OxPL as a mechanistic contributor to ALS pathogenesis and establish PC-OxPL-VecTab as a therapeutic strategy for ALS with potential broader applicability to disorders associated with PC-OxPL accumulation."

However, its exact role and underlying mechanism remain obscure. The current study found that aged apoE4-targeted replacement (TR) mice displayed obvious depression-like behavior when compared with age-matched apoE3-TR mice. Furthermore, apoE4 increased stress-induced depression-like behaviors, accompanied by declines in the hippocampal 5-HT (1A) radioligand [18F] MPPF uptake evidenced by positron emission tomography (PET). In [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET ([18F]-FDG PET) analyses, the FDG uptake in the prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex and hippocampus of apoE4-TR mice significantly declined when compared with that of apoE3-TR mice after acute stress. Further biochemical analysis revealed that ATP levels in the prefrontal cortex of apoE4-TR mice decreased during aging or stress process and ATP supplementation effectively rescued the depression-like behaviors of elderly apoE4-TR mice. In primary cultured astrocytes from the cortex of apoE-TR mice, apoE4, when compared with apoE3, obviously decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial respiration, and glycolysis in a culture time-dependent manner. Our findings highlight that apoE4 is a potential risk factor of depression in elderly population by impairing the glucose metabolism, reducing ATP level, and damaging mitochondrial functions in astrocytes, which indicates that in clinical settings ATP supplementation may be effective for elderly depression patients with apoE4 carrier.\n\nID: 32152337\nTitle: APOE4 is Associated with Differential Regional Vulnerability to Bioenergetic Deficits in Aged APOE Mice.\nAbstract: The \u03b54 allele of apolipoprotein E (APOE) is the dominant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Intraperitoneal and subcutaneous administration of D-gal causes memory impairments, a reduction in the neurogenesis of adult mice, an increase in the levels of the amyloid precursor protein and oxidative damage; However, the effects of oral D-gal remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the oral administration of D-gal induces abnormalities within the mitochondrial respiratory chain of rats. Male Wistar rats (4\u00a0months old) received D-gal (100\u00a0mg/kg v.o.), during the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th or 8th weeks by oral gavage. The activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes was measured in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks after the administration of D-gal. The activity of the respiratory chain complex I was found to have increased in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in the 1st, 6th and 8th weeks, while the activity of the respiratory chain complex II increased in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks within the hippocampus and in the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks within the prefrontal cortex. The activity of complex II-III increased within the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in each week of oral D-gal treatment. The activity of complex IV increased within the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 8th weeks of treatment. After 4\u00a0weeks of treatment the activity increased only in hippocampus. In conclusion, the present study showed that the oral administration of D-gal increased the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I, II, II-III and IV in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Furthermore, the administration of D-gal via the oral route seems to cause the alterations in the mitochondrial respiratory complexes observed in brain neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42616773\nTitle: Regulatory logic of neuronal differentiation in the Drosophila visual system.\nAbstract: Combinations of terminal selector transcription factors (tsTFs) are thought to establish and maintain the unique identities of the numerous cell types found in nervous systems. However, it remains largely unclear how tsTF combinations are specified during development and how they then coordinate the type-specific differentiation programs of each neuron. To investigate these regulatory mechanisms, we performed simultaneous single-cell RNA and ATAC (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin) sequencing on the Drosophila optic lobes at four stages of their development and identified over 250 distinct cell types. We characterized the common cis-regulatory features of neuronal enhancers and performed comprehensive inference of gene regulatory networks across cell types and stages. Our results reveal cell type- and stage-specific enhancers of many neuronal genes and the cooperative actions of tsTFs, pan-neuronal and ecdysone-responsive TFs on these enhancers. We show that the same effector genes are often regulated by different tsTF combinations acting through distinct enhancers in different neurons. During neurogenesis, tsTF codes are established within a brief critical period in newborn neurons, often through cell type-specific enhancers that are not accessible in their progenitors. Accordingly, when neuroblast temporal patterning TFs are reutilized as tsTFs in neurons, they are regulated independently through separate enhancers. Therefore, neuronal identity specification and differentiation is a multistep regulatory program, wherein the same TFs enact distinct regulatory codes at different steps and across cell types.\n\nID: 42616196\nTitle: Voluntary Exercise and Hippocampal Memory Enhancement: Decoding the Molecular Blueprint.\nAbstract: In the face of rising global rates of age-related cognitive decline, identifying accessible, non-pharmacological interventions is a critical public health priority. This narrative review synthesizes contemporary evidence to elucidate the molecular and systemic mechanisms by which voluntary exercise enhances hippocampal-dependent memory. We detail how physical activity initiates a coordinated cascade, beginning with the release of systemic factors like FNDC5/irisin, lactate, and IGF-1. These signals converge to robustly upregulate hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its TrkB receptor, activating a master regulatory network that promotes neuronal survival, synaptogenesis, and adult neurogenesis. Furthermore, exercise induces a protective hippocampal milieu characterized by reduced neuroinflammation, enhanced antioxidant defenses, optimized monoaminergic neurotransmission, and improved glymphatic clearance of metabolic waste. Translational human evidence confirms these mechanisms, demonstrating that regular aerobic exercise increases hippocampal volume, strengthens functional connectivity, and elevates serum BDNF, correlating with measurable improvements in episodic and spatial memory across populations from healthy older adults to those with mild cognitive impairment. The review concludes by bridging this mechanistic insight to therapeutic applications, discussing optimal exercise prescriptions, the synergy of exercise with pharmacological and other lifestyle interventions, and the future potential of \"exercise mimetics.\" Ultimately, this synthesis posits voluntary exercise as a potent, plasticity-enhancing therapy whose decoded molecular blueprint provides a scientific foundation for strategies aimed at preserving cognitive resilience throughout the lifespan.\n\nID: 42615433\nTitle: A proteomic investigation of forebrain regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius).\nAbstract: The ability to replace lost or damaged neurons following an injury is termed reactive neurogenesis. Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms underlying this response remain largely unknown. Here, we investigate ontogenetic, injury-, and regeneration-associated proteomic changes to the forebrain of subadult leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius), focusing on an area of the cerebral hemispheres that includes the medial and dorsomedial cortices, septum, and neighboring tissues. Among control (untreated) geckos, the proteome of the forebrain changes during a one-month period, providing evidence of an ontogenetically driven proteomic shift. To initiate reactive neurogenesis, we administered the neurotoxin 3-acetylpyridine (3-AP). Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we found that 3-AP induces differential expression of proteins associated with cell death, immune activation, and neurogenesis. However, by 30\u2009days post-injury, the proteomic profile of the forebrain was returning toward that of age-matched controls. Our findings demonstrate that structural regeneration of the gecko forebrain is associated with the differential expression of proteins involved in brain development and repair in mammals and provides a resource for future evolutionary studies of neurogenesis.\n\nID: 42615234\nTitle: Characterization of the Spinal Cord of the Annual Fish Garcialebias charrua: Morphology, Cell Proliferation, and NADPH-Diaphorase Activity.\nAbstract: The spinal cord plays a central role in sensorimotor integration and exhibits substantial diversity across vertebrates in relation to ecological and behavioral demands. In teleost fish, however, detailed morphological and cellular analyses of the adult spinal cord remain scarce. Here, we provide the first comprehensive characterization of the adult spinal cord of the annual fish Garcialebias charrua, a species displaying pronounced environmental adaptation and sexual dimorphism. Using adult males and females, the spinal cord was systematically partitioned into five equally sized rostrocaudal regions (SI-SV) to evaluate regional variation in morphology, neurochemical organization, and cell proliferation. We analyzed gross morphology and cross-sectional features, the distribution and morphology of NADPH-diaphorase-positive (NADP-d+) neurons as indicators of nitric oxide-related signaling, and proliferative activity using 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation. Our results reveal marked rostrocaudal heterogeneity in spinal cord morphometry, with dimorphic variation in the segment SIII associated with the dorsal fin, region-specific patterns of NADPH-d+ neuronal populations, and sustained cell proliferation throughout the entire spinal cord in both gray and white matter. Focused analysis of segment SIII, which exhibits distinctive anatomical features, demonstrated higher proliferative activity in the central canal and dorsal regions compared to ventral areas in both sexes, with males showing significantly increased proliferation across all analyzed regions. Finally, the combination of BrdU labeling with a neuronal lineage marker provides the first evidence of adult spinal cord neurogenesis in G. charrua. These findings highlight the spinal cord as a dynamic and sexually dimorphic substrate underlying neuroplasticity in annual fishes.\n\nID: 42614552\nTitle: Reprogramming brain bioenergetics in depression: an integrative framework linking creatine, branched-chain amino acids, and exercise to neuroplasticity, cognitive function, and depression-related outcomes.\nAbstract: Depression represents a multifaceted neuropsychiatric disorder distinguished by disruptions in cerebral energy metabolism, neurotransmitter communication, neuroplasticity, and cognitive processes. An increasing body of literature indicates that integrative non-pharmacological interventions aimed at metabolic and neurochemical pathways may present promising adjunctive strategies for ameliorating depressive manifestations and concomitant cognitive impairments. This review explores the prospective combined effects of creatine supplementation, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and physical exercise as a multimodal bioenergetic intervention for the management of depression. Creatine is pivotal in maintaining neuronal energy equilibrium via the phosphocreatine system, thereby facilitating mitochondrial functionality and adenosine triphosphate availability within neural cells. BCAAs may influence central fatigue and exercise performance through competitive inhibition of tryptophan transport across the blood-brain barrier. Importantly, this mechanism primarily reflects acute exercise-related serotonergic responses associated with central fatigue and should not be considered mechanistically equivalent to the chronic serotonergic dysfunction observed in major depressive disorder. Accordingly, within the context of depression, BCAAs are discussed as indirect modulators of mental health outcomes through their effects on fatigue perception, exercise tolerance, and adherence to physical activity, rather than as direct serotonergic antidepressant interventions. Concurrently, consistent engagement in physical exercise activates critical neuroplasticity-associated signaling pathways, which are instrumental in promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and enhancing stress resilience. Emerging empirical evidence derived from both experimental and clinical investigations suggests that the combined application of these interventions may exert complementary influences on brain bioenergetics, neuroplasticity, exercise capacity, and cognitive function. Collectively, this integrative paradigm highlights the potential of creatine supplementation, BCAAs, and physical exercise to support depression-related outcomes through distinct yet complementary mechanisms involving bioenergetic regulation, enhanced exercise capacity, neuroplastic adaptations, and improved cognitive and emotional functioning.\n\nID: 42614252\nTitle: Traditional Chinese medicine interventions targeting Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury: a review.\nAbstract: Vascular recanalization therapy for ischemic stroke commonly induces cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), which causes secondary neural damage and substantially limits clinical benefit. The canonical Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway has a central role in regulating central nervous system cell survival, vascular homeostasis, inflammatory balance, and neuroregeneration, making it a highly promising neuroprotective target for CIRI. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including herbal-derived active compounds, compound formulas, and acupuncture, has distinctive multitarget regulatory advantages that are well aligned with the complex pathological features of CIRI. Existing basic studies indicate that TCM interventions can activate this pathway by inhibiting GSK-3\u03b2 activity, stabilizing \u03b2-catenin, and promoting its nuclear translocation, thereby exerting multiple effects, including anti-apoptotic activity, blood-brain barrier (BBB) protection, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions, and promotion of neurogenesis and angiogenesis. This review systematically elucidates the molecular mechanisms by which Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling participates in CIRI-induced injury and repair, comprehensively summarizes the experimental evidence and action patterns of TCM interventions targeting this pathway for neuroprotection, and discusses the current limitations and future prospects for translating basic research into clinical application. This review aims to provide a solid theoretical basis for precision integrated Chinese-Western interventions in ischemic stroke and for the development of new neuroprotective agents.\n\nID: 42613544\nTitle: Gangliosides in Neural Stem Cell Fate Determination and Nerve Cell Specification: Preparation and Administration.\nAbstract: Gangliosides are sialylated glycosphingolipids with essential yet enigmatic functions in both healthy and disease brains. Among them, GD3 represents the predominant glycosphingolipid species in neural stem cells (NSCs), comprising over 80% of the total. On the other hand, the expression of GM1 is upregulated through a GM1-modulated epigenetic gene regulation mechanism involving GM2 synthase. GM1, in turn, influences the transcriptional activity of neuronal genes to maintain neuronal functions. To elucidate the functional roles of gangliosides, we introduce methods to isolate GD3 and GM1 and administer them into the mouse brain to investigate their functions on NSC fate determination and nerve cell specification.\n\nID: 42613429\nTitle: Disease-specific tau polymorphs are associated with unique protein networks across proteinopathies.\nAbstract: Tau protein aggregates adopt distinct conformations across tauopathies, yet the protein interactions engaged by disease-specific polymorphs remain poorly characterized. Here, we demonstrate that conformationally distinct tau polymorphs associate with disease-specific interaction networks across Alzheimer's disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Interactome profiling of tau aggregates from PBS- and sarkosyl-soluble brain fractions identified 493 high-confidence interactors exhibiting remarkable disease specificity. As an exploratory feature discovery machine learning classification discriminated against diseases using as few as four to six protein features. AD tau selectively engaged glycolytic enzymes, TCA cycle components, and glutamate/GABA cycling machinery, with the astrocytic transporter SLC1A2 showing 27-fold enrichment. PSP tau exhibited extensive interactor depletion alongside selective proteasome enrichment, whereas DLB tau associated with neurogenesis modulators while depleting neuroinflammatory mediators. Interaction patterns were corroborated by parallel reaction monitoring mass spectrometry and proximity ligation assays and corresponded to disease-specific post-translational modification profiles. These findings show that tau polymorph conformations are associated with disease-specific interaction networks, providing molecular insight into tauopathy heterogeneity.\n\nID: 42613141\nTitle: Photobiomodulation for traumatic brain injury.\nAbstract: There is a notable lack of therapeutic alternatives for what is fast becoming a global epidemic of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Photobiomodulation (PBM) employs red or near-infrared (NIR) light (600-1300\u00a0nm) from lasers or LEDs to stimulate healing, protect tissue from dying, increase mitochondrial function, improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation. PBM can also act to reduce swelling, increase antioxidants, decrease inflammation, protect against apoptosis, and modulate microglial activation state. All these mechanisms of action strongly suggest that PBM delivered to the head should be beneficial in cases of both acute and chronic TBI. Many studies in small animal models of acute TBI have found positive effects on neurological function, learning and memory, and reduced inflammation and cell death in the brain. There is evidence that PBM can help the brain to repair itself by stimulating neurogenesis, upregulating BDNF synthesis, and encouraging synaptogenesis. Clinical studies have been conducted in patients suffering from acute TBI and the chronic effects of TBI. There have been reports of improvements in executive function, working memory, and improved sleep. Functional magnetic resonance imaging has shown modulation of the activation in intrinsic brain networks likely to be damaged in TBI (default mode network and salience network).\n\nID: 42609459\nTitle: A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the periventricular proliferative zone in the late gestation fetal brain in the pigtail macaque.\nAbstract: The fetal brain undergoes rapid cellular and structural changes in late gestation, when waves of neurogenesis and gliogenesis shape cortical circuitry. The ventricular zone (VZ), subventricular zone (SVZ), periventricular white matter (PVWM), and deep white matter (DWM) are enriched in neuroprogenitor cells, newborn neurons, and interneurons, which are regions challenging to study in the third-trimester human fetal brain. The nonhuman primate (NHP) provides a powerful translational model to overcome this limitation, given its close similarity to human neurodevelopmental trajectories. The study objective was to construct a single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) atlas of the late-gestation fetal brain of the pigtail macaque (Macaca nemestrina), focusing on cells in the periventricular proliferative zone. A sample of the lateral ventricular wall, subventricular zone, and overlying white/gray matter was dissociated into single cells and processed through 10X Genomics sequencing, SoupX removal of ambient RNA, empty droplet removal, doublet exclusion, and Seurat's pipeline which consists of aggregation, unsupervised clustering, and cluster annotation to create a single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) atlas. We also investigated developmental trajectories using scVelo and CellRank2. This analysis captured diverse populations of neuroprogenitors, newborn neurons, developing lineages of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, epithelial and vascular cells. Single-cell populations from the third-trimester nonhuman primate fetal brain are highly similar to those in the human fetus at the level of major lineages. This late-gestation single-cell atlas of the periventricular proliferative zone provides a unique reference for progenitor, neuronal, glial, vascular, and immune cell states during a critical window of primate neurodevelopment, enabling mechanistic interrogation of how inflammatory, infectious, or hypoxic insults disrupt vulnerable neurogenic niches.\n\nID: 42609181\nTitle: Correlation of PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 Levels in Menstrual Blood with Dysmenorrhea Severity in Adenomyosis Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.\nAbstract: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by invasion of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, often presenting with severe dysmenorrhea. The pathophysiology involves neurogenesis and inflammation, with protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5) as a nerve fiber marker and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-\u03b21) as an inflammatory mediator. Menstrual blood represents an easily obtainable, non-invasive alternative to conventional tissue-based biomarker assessment. To analyze the association between PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 levels in menstrual blood with dysmenorrhea severity in adenomyosis patients, and to evaluate their diagnostic performance. This cross-sectional study included 72 women aged 20-45 years (36 with adenomyosis confirmed by histopathology and 36 controls) at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital and Bandung Kiwari Hospital, Indonesia, from September 2025 to January 2026. Menstrual blood samples were collected using menstrual cups on the second or third day of menstruation. PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 levels were measured using ELISA. Dysmenorrhea severity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Statistical analyses included Mann-Whitney test, Spearman correlation, and ROC curve analysis. PGP9.5 levels were significantly higher in adenomyosis patients compared to controls (median 335,77 vs 223,77 ng/L, p<0.001), as were TGF-\u03b21 levels (median 608,92 vs 379,43 ng/mL, p<0.001). VAS scores were also significantly higher in the adenomyosis group (median 9.00 vs 0.50, p<0.001). Significant positive correlations across the overall study population were observed between PGP9.5 and VAS (r = 0.562, p < 0.001), TGF-\u03b21 and VAS (r = 0.581, p < 0.001), and between PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 (r = 0.878, p < 0.001). ROC analysis demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance for PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 with AUC of 0.943 and 0.942, with optimal cut-offs of 260.43 ng/L for PGP9.5 and 482.95 ng/mL for TGF-\u03b21, yielding sensitivity and specificity of 91.7% for both markers. PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 levels in menstrual blood are significantly elevated in adenomyosis patients and positively correlate with dysmenorrhea severity. These findings provide proof of concept that menstrual blood PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 may serve as non-invasive biomarkers for adenomyosis.\n\nID: 42606611\nTitle: The NO-cGMP signaling pathway and depression: mechanisms and therapeutic prospects.\nAbstract: Depression is a highly prevalent and serious mental disorder affecting populations worldwide. However, the traditional monoamine hypothesis does not fully account for its pathogenesis. In recent years, considerable attention has been directed toward the role of the NO-cGMP signaling pathway in the pathophysiology and treatment of depression.Nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous neurotransmitter, activates soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), thereby increasing the level of the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). In turn, this regulation modulates protein kinase G (PKG) and its downstream signaling cascades. This pathway has been implicated in synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, and inflammatory responses.Substantial evidence indicates that abnormalities in the NO-cGMP pathway-observed both in patients with depression and in animal models-manifest as elevated NO levels, decreased cGMP content, and altered activities of related enzymes. These changes are thought to interact with multiple other signaling systems to jointly contribute to depressive pathophysiology.A variety of antidepressant drugs and natural products (e.g., vitamin C, pyridoxine, curcumin) have been shown to exert antidepressant effects through modulation of this pathway. Therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway-including NO donors, sGC activators, and phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors-exhibit therapeutic potential.The present review comprehensively summarizes the molecular mechanisms of the NO-cGMP signaling pathway, its role in the pathogenesis of depression, and targeted treatment strategies, with the aim of providing a theoretical foundation for the development of novel antidepressants.\n\nID: 42604711\nTitle: Effects of Micro- and Nanoplastic Exposure During Critical Developmental Periods on the Central Nervous System: A Systematic Review of Rodent Models.\nAbstract: Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are persistent environmental pollutants capable of crossing biological barriers, including the placenta and the blood-brain barrier, raising concerns about their impact on neurodevelopment. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from experimental rodent models, revealing morphological, molecular, and behavioral alterations associated with developmental MNPs exposure in rodent models and highlighting their potential relevance for understanding neurodevelopmental vulnerability. Following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO CRD420251127469), MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science were searched without date limits (last search: 18 Aug 2025). The review followed a PECO framework: population: mammalian in vivo models; exposure: MNPs during gestation, lactation, childhood, or adolescence; comparator: non-exposed or vehicle-treated controls; outcomes: behavioral, structural, or molecular central nervous system effects. Study reliability was assessed using ToxRTool. Due to heterogeneity, findings were narratively synthesized by exposure window (prenatal, postnatal, combined prenatal-early postnatal exposure). Of 542 records, 20 studies met inclusion criteria. All included studies used rodents (mice or rats) and evaluated polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyvinyl chloride particles delivered mainly by oral routes. Our analysis identified the central nervous system as an important target of MNPs, with convergent findings across exposure windows revealing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation (microglial/astrocytic activation), apoptosis/ferroptosis, disrupted neurogenesis and myelination, and synaptic/dendritic abnormalities. Neurochemical alterations frequently involved GABAergic and glutamatergic imbalance, with context-specific dopaminergic changes. Behaviorally, MNPs were associated with impaired learning and memory, increased anxiety-like responses, altered sociability, and repetitive/stereotyped behaviors. Several studies suggested microbiota-gut-brain interactions via intestinal barrier disruption, dysbiosis, and systemic inflammation. In rodent models, the available evidence suggests that early-life MNPs exposure may contribute to developmental neurotoxicity, which is characterized by multilevel central nervous system alterations and behavioral impairments. Standardized, environmentally relevant exposure paradigms, sex-stratified analyses, and longitudinal follow-up are needed to clarify dose-response, persistence, and human relevance.\n\nID: 42604557\nTitle: Reprogramming lineage-traced M\u00fcller glia for robust proliferation and neurogenesis in adult mammalian retinas.\nAbstract: The therapeutic potential of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated one-step glia-to-neuron conversion has been challenged following rigorous lineage-tracing analyses. In zebrafish, M\u00fcller glia (MG) serve as retinal stem cells to replenish lost neurons after injury. In contrast, mammalian MG do not spontaneously re-enter the cell cycle, and limited neurogenesis occurs in response to neurotoxic injury. Here, we demonstrate that activation of FGF2/MAPK signaling, following AAV-mediated gene transfer of Ascl1, effectively stimulates lineage-traced MG to undergo robust cell-cycle re-entry in adult mice, independent of neurotoxic injury. With the addition of retinoic acid, this approach further reprograms a significant proportion of proliferative MG-derived progenitor-like cells into regenerative states, driving enhanced in vivo neurogenesis. Using multiplex techniques, we reveal distinct phases of cell fate transitions during in vivo MG-derived neurogenesis. This approach provides a two-step strategy for inducing MG proliferation and subsequent MG-derived neurogenesis, which may represent a potent avenue toward retinal regeneration.\n\nID: 42604447\nTitle: Multifunctional Janus Membrane Promotes Neurovascular Network Regeneration for Diabetic Wound Healing.\nAbstract: The complex microenvironment of diabetic wounds poses a formidable challenge to tissue repair, particularly due to the absence of a functional neurovascular network. In this study, we developed a multifunctional Janus-structured scaffold (PLGA-PCL+CS+Cu-TA NS+P2, PCTP) by integrating chitosan (CS) electrospun fibers with PLGA-PCL coaxial electrospun fibers loaded with tannic acid (TA)-copper nanosheets (NSs). The NSs were loaded with PTHrP-2 to enhance bioactivity. The unique \"core-shell\" design protects the drug and ensures efficient release. The Janus architecture rationally manages wound exudate while maintaining a moist microenvironment conducive to healing. Moreover, PCTP exhibits excellent mechanical properties and sustained release kinetics. Its potent antioxidant and antibacterial activities effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species, protect mitochondrial integrity, and delay cellular senescence. Crucially, PCTP accelerates the regeneration of dermal fibers and epidermis structures while promoting concurrent neurogenesis and angiogenesis, thereby restoring both structural integrity and functional competence. In diabetic rat models, PCTP significantly enhanced vascularization, collagen deposition, and inflammation modulation. Collectively, this multifunctional scaffold represents a promising therapeutic strategy for achieving integrated structural and functional skin regeneration in the challenging diabetic milieu.\n\nID: 42603608\nTitle: Exploring the antidepressant-like effects of cannabidiol and/or temozolomide in female mice with induced glioblastoma.\nAbstract: Temozolomide (TMZ), the gold standard drug used for the treatment of glioblastoma, is known to affect healthy brain proliferating cells, inhibiting adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Since most antidepressants mediate their beneficial effect through this process and given the large proportion of glioblastoma patients with depressive symptoms, this preclinical study evaluated the interaction between TMZ and cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabinoid compound with antidepressant-like potential. To do so, adult female nude mice were intracranially implanted with GL261 tumor cells and treated with TMZ (5\u202fmg/kg) or PBS twice a week. Additionally, animals received CBD (30-45\u202fmg/kg) 5\u202fdays/week (1 dose/day) rendering two groups (PBS-CBD vs. TMZ-CBD). To control for the effects of TMZ alone a group of mice was treated with vehicle (TMZ-Veh). MRI was used to evaluate tumor growth and/or its suppression by treatment. Antidepressant-like responses were assessed under stressful settings (forced-swim or tail-suspension tests) and brain samples were collected to evaluate hippocampal neuroplasticity/neurotoxicity markers. The main results showed that the combined treatment with TMZ-CBD decreased tumor volume, induced signs of antidepressant-like responses, while modulated hippocampal FADD as compared to PBS-CBD female mice. However, these effects were no different than the ones observed by TMZ-Veh, suggesting that TMZ alone was sufficient to observe the behavioral and neurochemical responses, and that adding a concomitant CBD treatment did not change that outcome. This data adds to our recent studies suggesting some beneficial affective-like responses induced by TMZ in rodents, while validating them in a female mice model with induced glioblastoma.\n\nID: 42602088\nTitle: Electroacupuncture improves neurocognitive impairment induced by chronic sleep deprivation: an experimental study based on hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.\nAbstract: Normal sleep rhythms are crucial for hippocampus-dependent advanced cognitive functions. Chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) impairs hippocampal neurogenesis and structure, leading to neurocognitive deficits. Electro-nape-acupuncture (ENA) at bilateral Fengchi (GB20) and Gongxue (Extra) is a specialized acupuncture technique for treating insomnia, amnesia, and other brain-originated diseases. This study aims to investigate whether ENA improves CSD-induced cognitive impairment by regulating neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. The modified multi-platform water environment method was used to establish the CSD model. Electroacupuncture or sham electroacupuncture was used to treat bilateral cervical acupoints (Fengchi and Gongxue) for 20\u202fmin, once a day for 14\u202fdays. The Morris water maze experiment evaluated spatial learning and memory in rats, and the new object recognition experiment evaluated recognition memory. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining and Western Blot (WB) were used to detect the expression levels of the hippocampal neurogenesis markers, doublecortin (DCX) and Ki-67. Golgi-Cox staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the changes in neurons and synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Neurocognitive impairment induced by CSD is associated with abnormal changes in hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. The results of IF and WB showed that the protein expressions of DCX and Ki-67 in the hippocampus of CSD rats were significantly decreased. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that in the DG region of the hippocampus of CSD rats, the synaptic density and the thickness of the postsynaptic density membrane decreased, while the synaptic cleft width increased. Golgi staining showed that the density of dendritic spines in the DG area of the hippocampus in CSD rats decreased significantly, especially mushroom-shaped dendritic spines. ENA can enhance spatial learning and memory, as well as recognition memory, induced by CSD, and effectively reverse the abnormal changes in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the DG region of the hippocampus. In male Wistar rats, ENA improves neurocognitive function by promoting neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and restoring synaptic plasticity, thereby reconstructing neural memory circuits. ENA therapy offers a new strategy for treating cognitive impairments related to chronic sleep deprivation in males, and holds potential significance for the clinical management of cognitive impairment diseases.\n\nID: 42601939\nTitle: Neurogenesis defects in iPSC-derived midbrain organoids of early-onset Parkinson's disease with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.\nAbstract: Sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically a late-onset disorder caused by a combination of genetics, environment, and aging, manifesting when the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons exceeds a critical threshold, usually after the age of 50. Conversely, early-onset PD, as observed in cases linked to parkin (PRKN) gene mutations, suggests mechanisms involving either accelerated postnatal neuron loss or an insufficient number of neurons at birth. Patients with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DS) have a significantly higher prevalence of early-onset PD. The absence of known genes associated with hereditary PD in the deleted region suggests the involvement of novel, non-traditional risk factors. This could potentially implicate the neurodevelopmental origin of dopaminergic neurons arising from the floor plate. To investigate this hypothesis, we generated midbrain organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells derived from a patient with 22q11.2 DS. The organoids recapitulated key aspects of in vivo neurogenesis, revealing enhanced differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in 22q11.2DS- and PRKN-derived organoids compared to controls on days 28 and 56 of culture. These findings suggest that, in early-onset PD patients with 22q11.2 DS or PRKN mutation, enhanced neurogenesis could result in reduced number of dopaminergic neurons during early development. The organoids of early-onset PD demonstrated that progenitors undergo enhanced differentiation at an early stage. This suggests that the atypical developmental process could reduce progenitors before there are enough mature dopaminergic neurons. This in turn indicates that the onset of PD may occur as early as the embryonic stage.\n\nID: 42597241\nTitle: Cooperation of transposable elements to endow global networks of initiators of hybrid assembly pathways of endogenous multiprotein complexes.\nAbstract: Mechanisms governing initiation steps of the assembly of endogenous multi-protein complexes (EMC) remain incompletely understood. Here, multiple lines of observations are reported describing the function-aligned initiation sequence of hybrid assembly pathways (HAP) of EMC. The first step of HAP-guided chain reactions of protein-protein interactions (PPI) of EMC assemblies constitutes the creation of cell type-specific pools of hetero and homo dimers. The molecular anatomy of HAP was elucidated by defining qualitative and quantitative characteristics of protein binding to a compendium of 200,393 distinct genomic regulatory elements (GRE), including 49,667 sequences representing control sets of genomic loci as well as 150,726 GRE of different evolutionary origins. The consensus sequence of HAP actions consists of: a) Initiation on genomic DNA of the formation of metastable hetero- and homodimers of EMCs' protein constituents; b) Release of dimers from DNA templates for delivery to the EMC assembly compartments; c) Assembly of defined EMC by sequential on demand addition of proteins to preformed dimers serving as attractors of EMC-specific ensembles of monomers. Chromosome-na\u00efve DNA scaffolds facilitating creation of intracellular dimer pools engage networks of ~700 transcription factors (TFs), 534 of which manifest region-specific patterns of significantly enriched expression in 1358 brain regions. HAP initiators appear to operate within nucleosome-depleted islands of transposable elements (TE) - derived sequences within heterochromatin. PPI assembly lines of EMCs operate in 2 concurrent modes: TF-TF PPI cascade and PPI HUB protein cascade. Regardless of the number of DNA-bound initiator TFs (ranging from one to 716 TFs), both modes of operations reached the equilibrium at the PPI constituents saturation levels of ~245 proteins for TF-TF PPI modes and of ~351 proteins for PPI HUB protein modes. Distinct panels of DNA-bound initiator TFs and proteins of PPI cascade ensembles are enriched in either defined sets of neuroanatomical structures (TF-TF mode) or among structural-functional constituents of synapses (HUB proteins mode). Thus, these bifurcated cascades appear biologically congruent: TF-TF constituents map to transcriptional signatures of hundreds of brain regions, whereas HUB constituents map to synaptogenesis and synaptic structures, suggesting the unified logic of genomic functions coordinating region identity and connectivity. Evidence-supported examples of default operations of PPI-guided assemblies of hetero- and homodimers of Yamanaka factors, neurogenesis constituents, and protein components of postsynaptic density of excitatory and inhibitory synaptogenesis are reported with detailed analytical focus on human Claustrum. The foundational set of observations reported in this contribution should facilitate experimental and theoretical explorations of TE-seeded genomic codes for initiators of PPI chain reactions of protein dimerization creating pools of attractors to guide and accelerate the EMC assemblies.\n\nID: 42595210\nTitle: Nuclear distribution element-like 1 is associated with dentate gyrus remodeling after status epilepticus in a pilocarpine-induced mouse model.\nAbstract: Structural remodeling of the dentate gyrus is a hallmark of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Nuclear distribution element-like 1 (Ndel1), a cytoskeleton-associated protein involved in neuronal migration and dendritic development, has not been characterized in dentate gyrus remodeling during epileptogenesis. Here, we investigated region- and cell-type-specific alterations in Ndel1 expression in a pilocarpine-induced mouse model of TLE and examined the effects of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated Ndel1 expression on structural remodeling. Immunofluorescence was used to define Ndel1 localization across neural stem cells, granule lineage cells, mature neurons, and astrocytes, and dendritic architecture was assessed using Golgi staining and Sholl analysis. Total hippocampal Ndel1 expression increased after status epilepticus, whereas Ndel1-positive cells decreased selectively in the subgranular zone but increased among granule lineage cells in the hilus. Ndel1 was preferentially expressed in BLBP-positive neural stem cells and mature neurons, but not in neuroblasts. Activated astrocytic processes exhibited increased spatial association with Ndel1-positive cells during early remodeling. Ndel1 overexpression was associated with partial normalization of neuronal marker distribution, increased dendritic spine density, and reduced dendritic branching complexity. These findings suggest that Ndel1 is associated with region- and lineage-specific structural remodeling in the dentate gyrus during epileptogenesis.\n\nID: 42593291\nTitle: Decreased cerebrospinal fluid NDRG2 is associated with non-Alzheimer's disease derived mild cognitive impairment.\nAbstract: BackgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) lacks clear clinical biomarkers. N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is predominantly localized in astrocytes and is implicated in cognitive function.ObjectiveThis study aims to explore whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NDRG2 could predict MCI and investigate its underlying mechanisms of cognitive decline.MethodsA total of 650 CSF samples were collected from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database, comprising 157 normal individuals, 366 MCI patients, and 127 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to assess differences in CSF NDRG2 levels among groups. Linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between NDRG2 and amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), phosphorylated tau (p-tau), 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), albumin quotient (Qalb), and growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to examine the diagnostic performance of NDRG2 for MCI.ResultsCSF NDRG2 levels were significantly reduced in MCI, most prominently in non-A\u03b2 and non-tau subgroups. NDRG2 discriminated A\u03b2-negative MCI with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.719, but showed limited discriminatory capacity in A\u03b2+, tau+, and apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) carrier groups. Furthermore, CSF NDRG2 levels were positively correlated with GAP-43, a marker of synaptic plasticity.ConclusionsThe present study demonstrates that NDRG2 is a potential biomarker for non-AD derived MCI and suggests its involvement in synaptic plasticity impairment.\n\nID: 42591826\nTitle: Epidermal growth factor receptor modulation for neural repair: Implications for neurodegenerative disease therapy.\nAbstract: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB1/HER1) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and tissue repair. In the nervous system, EGFR is expressed in neural progenitors, astrocytes, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, and neuronal populations, where its functions are context dependent. EGFR signaling contributes to neural regeneration by promoting progenitor proliferation, neuronal survival, neurogenesis, and remyelination following injury. However, sustained or excessive EGFR activation can drive reactive astrogliosis, neuroinflammation, glial scar formation, and neurotoxicity. Emerging evidence suggests that transient, regulated EGFR activation supports neural repair, whereas chronic or dysregulated signaling may contribute to neurodegeneration. These apparently opposing effects likely reflect differences in timing, duration, cellular context, ligand availability, and downstream signaling pathways engaged by EGFR activation, rather than inherently contradictory biological functions. In experimental models of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Multiple sclerosis-like conditions, EGFR modulation has shown therapeutic potential, although the mechanisms remain incompletely understood. While EGFR ligands often exert neurotrophic and pro-remyelinating effects, disease-associated EGFR activation may promote maladaptive signaling pathways. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of EGFR signaling in neural repair and neurodegenerative diseases, discuss the context-dependent roles of this pathway, and highlight therapeutic strategies. We further propose a conceptual framework in which EGFR functions as a context-dependent signaling hub, with its outcomes determined by the spatiotemporal regulation of receptor activation. Although challenges remain, including optimal timing, dosing, and safety considerations, preclinical evidence suggests that modulation of EGFR signaling may be a therapeutic approach to promote neural repair while limiting neurodegenerative pathology.\n\nID: 42589451\nTitle: The Repair Manual of a Fruit Fly Brain.\nAbstract: The brain is a complex organ; its diverse functions and plasticity correspond with an intricate structure. Integrating sensory inputs with internal physiological states, the brain orchestrates balance, posture, movement, speech, emotions, the creation of memories, and the ability to learn. Whether due to trauma, disease, or stroke, disruptions to brain architecture have long-lasting consequences for a person's physical, behavioral, emotional, and cognitive health. Comparative studies using model systems to identify meaningful therapies and treatments are critical to elucidate the mechanisms underlying regenerative processes in the brain. This review focuses on the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, which has a large repertoire of available molecular and genetic tools for investigation of neural regeneration.\n\nID: 42589353\nTitle: Immature Neurons in the Postnatal Brain: Markers, Modulation, and Involvement in Normal and Aberrant Plasticity.\nAbstract: Cortical immature neurons (cINs) represent a unique population of prenatally generated, non-dividing neurons that maintain an immature phenotype, characterized by doublecortin (DCX) and polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) expression, into adulthood. Unlike canonical adult neurogenesis involving continuous neuron generation from stem cell niches, cINs constitute a distinct form of structural plasticity termed \"neurogenesis without division\". This review comprehensively examines the molecular markers, morphological diversity, developmental origins, and maturation trajectories of cINs across species. We highlight the striking inverse interspecies relationship between cIN abundance and canonical adult neurogenesis, reflecting distinct biophysical and structural shifts in neural plasticity mechanisms across mammalian lineages. Furthermore, we discuss factors modulating cIN phenotype, including neurotransmitter systems, stress, sensory experience, and aging. Clinical evidence implicating cIN alterations in temporal lobe epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and stroke is evaluated, revealing potential roles in both pathological circuit remodeling and endogenous repair. Critical gaps remain regarding the molecular programs maintaining immaturity, differentiation triggers, and the functional consequences of circuit integration. Understanding cIN biology offers new perspectives on cortical plasticity and may inform therapeutic strategies targeting endogenous cellular reserves for brain repair.\n\nID: 42616772\nTitle: Drug development targeting the mitochondrial respiratory chain of Sparganum proliferum: Initial biochemical and drug discovery insights into the enigmatic helminth parasite.\nAbstract: Sparganum proliferum undergoes asexual proliferation within the human host, leading to multiorgan failure and death. Currently, no effective treatment is available. Long considered mysterious, the natural host and transmission route remain unidentified, hindering preventive measures. Furthermore, owing to its extreme rarity, biochemical research and drug development have been neglected. This study investigated mitochondrial function and screened for compounds targeting this parasite. The parasite showed activity of mitochondrial complexes I-IV and NADH-fumarate reductase, indicating a hybrid respiratory chain that supports both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Quinone-binding site inhibitors showed inhibitory activity against the respiratory chain. Ascofuranone derivatives acted as dual inhibitors of complexes II and III. The antimalarial drug atovaquone inhibited complex III at a very low concentration (IC\u2085\u2080 2.2 nM). IACS-010759 potently inhibited complex I (IC\u2085\u2080 16.1 nM), causing worm body swelling, surface destruction, and mitochondrial morphological changes in culture assays. Further investigation of the mitochondrial respiratory chain of S. proliferum to develop targeted candidate drugs is warranted.\n\nID: 42616435\nTitle: Design, Synthesis, and Antifungal Activity of Novel Oxadiazole-Pyrazole-Triazole Derivatives: Insights into Cellular Disruption Revealed by Integrated Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analyses.\nAbstract: Resistance to single-target fungicides necessitates structurally innovative antifungal agents with broadened modes of action. Herein, a series of pyrazole-oxadiazole-linked 1,2,4-triazole derivatives (L1-L39) were designed and synthesized via molecular hybridization. Compound L22 exhibited exceptional activity against Magnaporthe grisea (EC50 = 5.96 \u03bcg/mL), outperforming the commercial fungicide isoprothiolane, and potently inhibited Botrytis cinerea and Verticillium dahliae. In vivo assays confirmed its excellent protective and curative efficacies against rice blast. Mechanistic investigations revealed that L22 induces severe cellular disruption, characterized by compromised membrane integrity, cell wall deformation, and broad dysregulation of sterol/lipid metabolism, carbohydrate utilization, mitochondrial respiration, and stress-response pathways. Furthermore, L22 displayed no detectable phytotoxicity toward rice seedlings at effective concentrations. These findings establish pyrazole-oxadiazole-triazole derivatives as potent, safe, and mechanistically distinct antifungal leads, warranting further development for agricultural disease management.\n\nID: 42616180\nTitle: Platelet-derived mitochondrial transfer in cancer metastasis: mechanisms, functional consequences, and translational opportunities.\nAbstract: Cancer metastasis is a multistep and highly inefficient process that depends on reciprocal interactions between tumor cells and the host microenvironment. Among the most important host contributors, platelets have emerged as active facilitators of metastatic dissemination, supporting the survival of circulating tumor cells, immune evasion, endothelial arrest, extravasation, and early colonization. More recently, platelet-derived mitochondrial transfer has been recognized as a novel mechanism by which platelets may enhance tumor aggressiveness through metabolic reprogramming. This review critically synthesizes the current literature on platelet-mediated mitochondrial transfer in cancer, with emphasis on its biological mechanisms, functional consequences, and translational implications. Emerging evidence in selected osteosarcoma and triple-negative breast cancer models indicates that activated platelets can donate functional mitochondria to cancer cells through direct contact and microparticle-mediated pathways, potentially increasing oxidative phosphorylation, ATP production, redox adaptability, proliferative capacity, and migratory behavior. Mechanistically, platelet mitochondrial transfer may involve pathways linked to mitochondrial quality control and trafficking, including PINK1/Parkin-MFN2 signaling, while also intersecting with broader platelet-tumor crosstalk that promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition, anoikis resistance, and immune escape. In parallel, platelet-derived mitochondrial cargo and related extracellular vesicle signatures may offer new opportunities for liquid biopsy-based biomarker development. However, major challenges remain, including the need for rigorous in vivo validation, discrimination of intact mitochondria from fragmented mitochondrial material, and clarification of context-dependent effects across tumor types. Collectively, platelet-derived mitochondrial transfer represents an emerging layer of intercellular communication that may link thrombosis, metabolism, and metastasis, and it offers promising avenues for both biomarker discovery and therapeutic intervention.\n\nID: 42615693\nTitle: Exosomes and lung cancer: Biogenesis, pathogenic mechanisms, biomarkers, and therapeutic applications.\nAbstract: Lung cancer remains a global health crisis characterized by high mortality rates and pervasive therapeutic resistance. Recent advances in molecular oncology have identified exosomes, nanoscale extracellular vesicles with diameters of 30-150\u2005nm, as pivotal mediators of the lateral transmission of bioactive molecular signals. This review provides a high-level synthesis of exosomal biogenesis and the nuanced roles these vesicles play in lung cancer. Specifically, we discuss how tumor-derived exosomes orchestrate remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, facilitate premetastatic niche formation, and drive immune evasion via the programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 axis and recruitment of regulatory cells. A significant portion of this review is dedicated to exosomal noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs, emphasizing their stability as liquid biopsy substrates and their involvement in cross-resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immunotherapies. Furthermore, we evaluate the transition of exosomes from diagnostic candidates to therapeutic tools, including their utility as bio-inspired drug delivery systems and cancer vaccines. Finally, this narrative review critically examines the technical hurdles, ranging from standardized isolation methods to good manufacturing practice scalability that must be overcome to integrate exosome-based precision medicine into routine clinical management of patients with lung cancer.\n\nID: 42615512\nTitle: Surface Functionalization of Small Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Caco-2 and HEK293T Cells in the Neutralization of Shiga Toxin 1 Subunit B.\nAbstract: Shiga toxins (Stx) are key virulence factors of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), which are responsible for severe foodborne infections that can progress to hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS). Currently, no specific antitoxin therapies are available. In this study, we devised a glycoengineering strategy utilizing Functional-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) conjugates to create small extracellular vesicles (sEVs)-based decoy receptors for Shiga toxin type 1 (Stx1). sEVs isolated from human Caco-2 and HEK293T cells were functionalized with Gb3 trisaccharide (Gal\u03b11\u21924Gal\u03b21\u21924Glc)-containing FSL conjugates, yielding Gb3-decorated vesicles displaying the Gal\u03b11\u21924Gal epitope. Characterization of FSL-modified sEVs confirmed that FSL incorporation did not adversely affect sEV morphology, size distribution, or surface charge. Western blotting and bead-assisted flow cytometry verified the presence of exosomal markers (CD9 and CD63) and the Gb3 epitope on modified vesicles. Gb3-tagged sEVs from both cell types exhibited high specificity in binding Stx1B, while control vesicles carrying Galili epitope (Gal\u03b11\u21923Gal\u03b21\u21924GlcNAc), lacking Stx1B binding, demonstrated negligible binding. Gb3-expressing Caco-2 cell-based assays revealed that Gb3-decorated sEVs markedly reduced Stx1B binding to Caco-2 cells, indicating effective competition with cellular receptors. Furthermore, glycoengineered sEVs did not impair Caco-2 cell viability at concentrations sufficient for Stx1B sequestration. These findings establish FSL-mediated glycoengineering as a rapid and versatile approach for generating sEV-based decoy receptors that effectively bind Stx1B. Gb3-containing human sEVs may serve as an agent for neutralizing Stx1B and potentially other glycan-binding toxins, supporting the development of promising next-generation antitoxin therapeutics.\n\nID: 42615396\nTitle: Repeated PM2 .5 Inhalation Exposure Drives a Duration-Dependent Transition From Mitochondrial Adaptation to Persistent Cardiac Toxicity in Rats.\nAbstract: Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a recognized cardiovascular toxicant, yet the exposure duration at which mitochondrial stress responses transition from adaptive to persistently injurious remains poorly defined. Here, we identified a duration-dependent transition in mitochondrial responses under the present exposure conditions. Female Wistar rats were exposed to PM2.5 (250\u2009\u03bcg/m3, 3\u2009h/day) for 1, 7, 14, or 21\u2009days, followed by integrated evaluation of cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics, redox balance, quality control pathways, and ex\u00a0vivo cardiac function, with washout validation. Short-term exposure (1-7\u2009days) elicited transient mitochondrial oxidative stress and activation of adaptive quality control responses without impairing respiratory efficiency, electron transport chain activity, ATP production, or cardiac performance; these changes returned to values comparable to controls after a 24-h pollutant-free washout under the present experimental conditions. Under the exposure conditions employed, sustained mitochondrial dysfunction first became evident after 14\u2009days of repeated exposure, characterized by coordinated suppression of mitochondrial respiration, ETC complex activities, and ATP synthesis, accompanied by mitochondrial DNA depletion, impaired biogenesis and quality control signaling, sustained oxidative stress, and intramitochondrial metal accumulation. Notably, mitochondrial and cardiac functional deficits induced after \u2265\u200914\u2009days persisted despite washout, indicating that these deficits were not restored within the 24-h recovery period examined, rather than reflecting delayed recovery within this window. Collectively, these findings define a duration-dependent temporal toxicity progression at which repeated PM2.5 exposure shifts cardiac mitochondria from transient, recoverable stress responses to persistent bioenergetic impairment under the present experimental conditions providing a mechanistic basis for exposure-duration-informed cardiovascular hazard characterization.\n\nID: 42615336\nTitle: Engineering CAR-Macrophages With Advanced Delivery Systems for Tissue Repair.\nAbstract: Tissue injury and organ dysfunction remain major clinical challenges, as conventional therapies often fail to achieve functional regeneration. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology endows macrophages with the ability to specifically recognize and clear pathological targets, making CAR-macrophages (CAR-M) a promising tool in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the efficient, safe, and controllable engineering of CAR-M still depends on advanced chemical delivery systems. This review systematically summarizes five major platforms for CAR-M engineering, including viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), exosomes/extracellular vesicles, polymeric nanocarriers, and biomaterial scaffolds. Particular emphasis is placed on LNPs\u00a0optimization strategies, including ionizable lipid design, surface modification, and regulation of physicochemical properties. The influence of delivery systems on macrophage uptake, intracellular trafficking, and polarization is also discussed. This review further highlights recent preclinical applications of CAR-M therapy in liver fibrosis, cardiac fibrosis, and atherosclerosis. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of CAR-M with CAR\u2011T and CAR\u2011NK therapies is provided, and key challenges, including phenotypic instability, off\u2011target effects, and limited in vivo persistence, are discussed. Finally, future directions are outlined, including advanced delivery strategies, multi\u2011target CAR designs, and metabolic modulation, highlighting new opportunities for precision regenerative immunotherapy.\n\nID: 42614677\nTitle: Bidirectional crosstalk between the nervous system and the tumour microenvironment: mechanisms, feedback loops and therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: The nervous system is increasingly recognized as an active and integral component of the tumour microenvironment (TME), rather than a passive bystander affected by tumour invasion. Emerging evidence indicates that neural inputs shape tumour behaviour through both direct and indirect mechanisms. Neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and neurotrophic factors act on tumour cells, stromal cells, endothelial cells and immune cells to regulate proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion. In parallel, the TME feeds back to the nervous system through inflammatory mediators, extracellular vesicles, axon guidance molecules and metabolic signals, thereby driving axonogenesis, tumour innervation, Schwann cell reprogramming, neuronal hyperexcitability and synaptic remodelling. These reciprocal interactions establish dynamic neuro-immune-metabolic feedback loops that sustain tumour progression and therapeutic resistance. Particularly in glioma and other highly innervated malignancies, activity-dependent neuron-tumour communication further highlights the functional integration between neural circuits and cancer. In this Review, we summarize the structural and molecular basis of neural components within the TME, discuss neurotransmitter receptor-mediated signalling and indirect regulation of immune, vascular, stromal and metabolic niches, and outline how tumour-derived signals remodel peripheral and central neural systems. We further highlight emerging therapeutic opportunities targeting \u03b2-adrenergic signalling, neurotrophin pathways, extracellular vesicle-mediated tumour innervation, Schwann cell-associated perineural invasion circuits, and neuron-tumour synaptic coupling. Finally, we discuss current translational challenges, including tumour-type heterogeneity, context-dependent neural effects, evidence-level heterogeneity and the need for spatially resolved biomarkers, and propose that incorporating the neural dimension into future mechanism-guided studies may inform biomarker-stratified trials and symptom-oriented interventions, with the long-term goal of improving both tumour control and neurological outcomes.\n\nID: 42614391\nTitle: Neutralization of pathogenic PC-OxPL by AAV-delivered scFv as a therapeutic strategy for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder defined by progressive motor neuron loss and TDP-43 proteinopathy, yet the upstream drivers of this pathology remain unclear. Oxidized phosphatidylcholines (PC-OxPL) have emerged as potent inducers of proteinopathy in the central nervous system (CNS), but their role in ALS has not been systematically explored. We identify a distinct PC-OxPL signature in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with sporadic ALS (sALS) and show that apolipoprotein E (apoE)-containing particles are the primary PC-OxPL carriers in this compartment. In human iPSC-derived motor neurons, PC-OxPL exposure triggered disease-relevant transcriptional alterations and TDP-43 pathology, establishing PC-OxPL as a mediator of ALS-like neurodegeneration in vitro. To counteract this toxicity, we engineered an Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-delivered single-chain antibody fragment (scFv), PC-OxPL-VecTab, targeting PC-OxPL neoepitopes. PC-OxPL-VecTab neutralized PC-OxPL-induced neurotoxicity, reduced TDP-43 aggregation, and prevented motor neuron death and behavioral deficits in a sALS CSF transfer mouse model. Intrathecal delivery of PC-OxPL-VecTab in minipigs achieved broad CNS biodistribution and transgene expression, supporting the feasibility of CNS delivery. These findings position PC-OxPL as a mechanistic contributor to ALS pathogenesis and establish PC-OxPL-VecTab as a therapeutic strategy for ALS with potential broader applicability to disorders associated with PC-OxPL accumulation.\n\nID: 42614378\nTitle: Immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis of endometriosis: a comprehensive analysis of the role of NK cells, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles/exosomes.\nAbstract: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Retrograde menstruation is widely accepted as a primary mechanism for ectopic endometrial seeding; however, only a subset of individuals develop the disease. This suggests additional pathogenic processes. Increasing evidence suggests impaired immune surveillance as a central factor enabling ectopic endometrial tissue to persist and expand. This review aims to explore immune-associated pathogenic mechanisms in endometriosis, focusing on the interplay between natural killer (NK) cells, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). This study was conducted as a narrative review. Relevant PubMed studies addressing immune dysfunction in endometriosis were identified, with emphasis on the role of NK cells, cytokines, EVs, and EV-mediated signaling. All material chosen for referral in the review consists of published reports that were critically evaluated and discussed. Endometriosis is associated with impaired immune surveillance, characterized by reduced NK-cell cytotoxicity, driven by altered receptor expression and a shift toward regulatory NK-cell subsets. A dysregulated cytokine milieu combines pro-inflammatory signals that promote lesion growth with immunosuppressive factors that inhibit immune clearance of ectopic tissue. Lesion-derived EVs further contribute the lesions' survival by suppressing cytotoxic immune function, inducing apoptosis of activated immune cells and promoting inflammation and angiogenesis. The referred results highlight key immunological mechanisms underlying endometriosis. This review presents an immune-based model in which NK-cell dysfunction, cytokine imbalance, and EV-mediated signaling cooperate to establish an immune-privileged microenvironment that promotes the survival and growth of ectopic endometrial tissue. The immune escape mechanism, described here, highlights potential targets as candidates to be tested for immunomodulatory therapies. We conclude that endometriosis should be considered a disorder fundamentally linked to mechanisms of immune dysregulation.\n\nID: 42614258\nTitle: Inactivation of interleukin-15 reduces spontaneous atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.\nAbstract: Interleukin (IL)-15 is essential for the survival and maturation of natural killer (NK) and CD8+ T cells, and it directly activates macrophages. In the present study, we examined the effects of inactivating Il-15 on atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein (apo) E-deficient mice. As expected, Il-15 deficiency reduced circulating NK and CD8+ T cells in ApoE-/- mice. It also increased body weights in female but not male ApoE-/- mice and increased plasma total cholesterol levels in both. Despite this, the Il-15 knockout reduced spontaneous atherosclerotic plaque development in both male and female ApoE-/- mice (fed a normal diet) at 25\u00a0weeks of age, and in female normal diet-fed ApoE-/- mice at 15 weeks but not at 38 weeks of age. Furthermore, Il-15 knockout did not impact the levels of atherosclerosis in 25-week-old female ApoE-/- mice fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet for 15 weeks. However, the 6-week treatment with an antibody (M96) that blocks IL-15's interaction with the IL-2R\u03b2\u03b3c complex but does not interfere with its interaction with IL-15R\u03b1 reduced spontaneous atherosclerosis in female ApoE-/- mice. ApoE knockout mice in which IL-15 was inactivated or neutralized with an antibody exhibited reduced accumulation of CD11b+ and CD8+ cells within atherosclerotic plaques. These findings demonstrate that interfering with IL-15 signaling through the IL-2R\u03b2\u03b3c complex delays spontaneous atherosclerosis development in ApoE-deficient mice.\n\nID: 42614171\nTitle: Female chronic social defeat stress (femCSDS) maps synaptic, bioenergetic and metabolic proteome remodeling in the nucleus accumbens (NAc).\nAbstract: Depression disproportionately affects women, yet the molecular adaptations underlying stress susceptibility in the female brain remain poorly understood. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a key brain region regulating reward, motivation and affective behavior and is strongly implicated in stress-related disorders. This study aimed to characterize proteome-wide molecular adaptations in the female NAc following chronic social stress. We used a recently developed female chronic social defeat stress (femCSDS) paradigm and performed label-free quantitative proteomic profiling of the NAc. Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), STRING, Metascape, SynGO and transcription factor enrichment approaches to identify affected pathways, molecular networks and regulatory programs. Proteomic profiling identified 851 significantly dysregulated proteins, comprising 481 downregulated and 370 upregulated proteins, indicating extensive molecular remodeling following chronic social stress. Downregulated proteins were strongly enriched for mitochondrial respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, ATP synthesis, mitochondrial quality-control pathways and metabolic processes. Network analyses identified ATP synthase subunits, respiratory chain components and Cullin-family proteins as central hubs within a highly interconnected mitochondrial-proteostatic circuit. In contrast, upregulated proteins preferentially clustered within synaptogenesis, glutamatergic signaling, endocytosis, vesicle trafficking and synaptic organization pathways. Key hub proteins included SYNJ1, DNM1, BIN1, AP2M1, EPN2 and EPN3. Disease enrichment analyses linked the proteomic signature to neurological, neurodevelopmental and mitochondrial disorders. Transcription factor enrichment and upstream regulator predictions highlighted regulatory programs involving ARNT2, ESRRA, NFE2L2, PIN1, CAMTA1 and MYT1L. This study provides a comprehensive proteomic profile of the female NAc following female chronic social defeat stress (femCSDS). Our analysis indicates that femCSDS may induce widespread molecular remodeling in the female NAc characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced energetic capacity and altered metabolic regulation alongside enhanced synaptic remodeling. These results provide insight into female-specific stress adaptations and identify molecular pathways that may contribute to depression-related behavioral outcomes and represent potential targets for future investigation.\n\nID: 42613798\nTitle: EPOTF-Enabled Scalable Production of Structurally Intact Lemon-Derived Extracellular Vesicles with Enhanced Bioactivity.\nAbstract: Lemon-derived extracellular vesicles (LDEVs) have attracted increasing attention as promising bioactive nanovesicles for cosmetic and skin engineering applications owing to their biocompatibility, bioactive cargo, and skin-friendly lipid bilayer structure. However, the lack of standardized purification methods and limited scalability remain critical bottlenecks for the practical application and industrial translation of LDEVs. In this study, we developed an electrophoretic oscillation-assisted tangential flow filtration (EPOTF) platform using a SiNx membrane nanofilter for the scalable and high-purity purification of structurally intact LDEVs. The EPOTF process effectively suppressed membrane cake formation and membrane fouling, enabling stable size-selective purification under large-volume conditions. EPOTF-purified LDEVs exhibited stable physicochemical characteristics, high recovery yield, and excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility. Cryo-TEM analysis confirmed preservation of a distinct lipid bilayer structure and near-ideal spherical morphology with low spherical deviation, indicating minimal structural damage during purification. Furthermore, EPOTF-purified LDEVs significantly enhanced hydration, antioxidant activity, skin barrier recovery, and anti-inflammatory responses in an ex vivo human skin explant model. Taken together, these findings establish EPOTF as a robust and scalable purification platform for the biomanufacturing of high-quality LDEVs, with strong potential for cosmetic and skin-engineering applications.\n\nID: 42613696\nTitle: An Innovative Strategy for Treating Neurodegenerative Disorders through Exosome-based Smart Delivery Systems: A Comprehensive Review.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases are devastating brain disorders. The complex pathophysiology of the diseases and the lack of effective treatments have left them almost unexplored and untreatable. One potential approach to PD and AD therapy development is through exosomes, a delivery system that can be translated from innovative delivery techniques into clinical use. These exosome-based therapeutics will require thorough testing, research-driven refinement of engineering methods, and collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and industry to develop exosome therapeutics for clinical use. This review explores the biological properties of exosomes, recent engineering advances to improve their therapeutic potential, and new methods to leverage their versatility for selective delivery of remedial agents to the brain. In addition, preclinical evidence demonstrates that exosomes can modulate amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, \u03b1-synuclein pathology, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Yet difficulties related to mass production, maintaining quality, and obtaining regulatory approvals to bring them into clinical practice remain significant limiting factors. The authors point out the therapeutic advantages and drawbacks of exosome-based drug delivery systems. Besides, it provides a roadmap for harnessing these methods effectively as medical interventions for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disorders, thereby promoting more studies in the area. Finally, we outline a conceptual model for translating novel exosome-based delivery methods into clinically applicable treatment modalities for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, thereby encouraging continued exploration in this promising field of research.\n\nID: 42613624\nTitle: Stem cell-based therapies in pediatric disorders: translational advances, unresolved challenges, and future horizons.\nAbstract: Pediatric disorders consist of genetic, hematologic, neurologic, autoimmune, and inflammatory diseases. These conditions impose long-term health challenges on children, despite many advancements with conventional medicine. Although conventional treatments increase life expectancy and provide better disease control, many present challenges such as toxicity, insufficient control of the disease, and adverse effects on normal growth, development, and quality of life. Many researchers have shown increased interest in using stem cell therapies as an alternative to current medications to allow for complete, sustainable repair of damaged tissues and modification of disease processes (i.e., using stem cells to regenerate tissue or change the way in which a disease occurs). This paper will provide the current information on stem cells used in the treatment of children and the many different types of stem cells, including: hematopoietic stem cells (and their derivatives), mesenchymal stem cells (and their derivatives), induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells, tissue-specific progenitor cells, extracellular vesicles, and bioengineered products. This paper will also discuss what is known about the stem cells listed as well as their methods of action, where they might currently be better utilized, and future uses of these cells in children for a variety of types of pediatric diseases. Because each stem cell type listed has very different scientific background and clinical evidence, there is much variability in the amount of scientific evidence available to support stem cell therapies. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has over 50 years of clinical experience; thus, there are many studies defining the clinical efficacy and long-term outcomes associated with HSCT. Conversely, while there are many published studies supporting the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), gene-edited cells, organoids, and many induced pluripotent stem cell-derived therapies, more evidence (clinical and basic science) is still needed to fully establish efficacy for the use of these various stem cells in children with pediatric diseases. In addition to needing more clinical evidence, stem cell-based therapies face many important challenges to the advancement of these therapies, including (but not limited to) long-term safety assessments, manufacturing standardization, regulatory oversight, ethical concerns, and equitable access to advanced therapies. Addressing these challenges will be important for future advances in the use of regenerative medicine in pediatric patients which will also require the rigorous evaluation of new stem cell therapies, the continued improvement of translational mechanisms, and the ongoing incorporation of new techniques (e.g., genome editing, organoid modeling, EV therapeutics, bioengineering, and artificial intelligence) to advance regenerative medicine and demonstrate its value through safe and reproducible clinical trial results.\n\nID: 42613616\nTitle: Publisher Correction: Extracellular vesicles inherit lactate from aggregated MSCs to alleviate type 1 diabetes mellitus via H2S-induced CD8+\u2009T cell exhaustion.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42613537\nTitle: Flow Cytometry Analysis of Gangliosides Expressed on Extracellular Vesicles.\nAbstract: In flow cytometry analysis, molecules on cells can be detected by labeling with antibodies or other reagents. However, extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by cells are of a small particle size, making it difficult to detect molecules on EVs using conventional flow cytometry. Here, we describe a method for isolating EVs secreted by cells and report a flow cytometry analysis for gangliosides on EVs. By using Tim4-conjugated beads, which bind specifically to EVs, molecules expressed on EVs can be easily detected even with flow cytometry.\n\nID: 42613533\nTitle: Ganglioside Functions in Extracellular Vesicles as Revealed by Single-Particle Tracking.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles play roles as critical mediators of cell-cell communications. We recently discovered that ganglioside content in extracellular vesicles was approximately 30 times higher than in cells, and GM1 in extracellular vesicles specifically binds to laminin. In this chapter, we describe a method to prepare cells expressing specific gangliosides and introduce in vitro experiments to evaluate the binding ability of extracellular vesicles and liposomes containing gangliosides to the extracellular matrix.\n\nID: 42613416\nTitle: Modulation of neuronal excitability and plasticity by BHLHE41 conveys lithium non-responsiveness.\nAbstract: Many bipolar disorder (BD) patients are non-responsive to lithium. The mechanisms underlying lithium (non-)responsiveness are largely unknown. By using gene-set enrichment analysis methods, we found that core clock gene-sets are significantly associated with lithium response. Among the top hits was BHLHE41, a modulator of the molecular clock and homeostatic sleep. Since BHLHE41 and its paralog BHLHE40 are functionally redundant, we assessed chronic lithium response in double-knockout mutant mice (DKO). We demonstrated that DKOs are non-responsive to lithium's effect in various behavioral tasks. Cellular assays and patch clamp recordings revealed lowered excitability and reduced lithium-response in prefrontal cortical layer 2/3 DKO neurons and on hippocampal long-term potentiation. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified that lithium deregulated mitochondrial respiration, cation channel and postsynapse associated gene-sets specifically in upper layer excitatory neurons. Our findings show that lithium acts in a highly cell-specific way on neuronal metabolism and excitability and modulates synaptic plasticity depending on BHLHE40/41.\n\nID: 42612969\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for diabetes: clinical evidence, emerging strategies, and future perspectives.\nAbstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multifactorial metabolic disorder in which chronic hyperglycemia arises alongside adipose-tissue dysfunction, ectopic lipid accumulation, endothelial injury, and progressive multiorgan damage. These processes form an interconnected network, and because lowering glucose or blocking any single pathway leaves the other nodes active, the disease continues to advance even when glycemic targets are met. Therapies that act on several nodes at once are therefore conceptually attractive. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy fits this requirement, engaging the immune, vascular, and metabolic arms of the disease at the same time through a shared paracrine program. Here, we analyze 107 registered interventional trials, drawn from 124 screened records, that evaluate MSC-based therapies across type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and a range of diabetic complications. Autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMMSCs) and adipose-derived MSCs (AdMSCs) featured in the earliest trials, and registration has since shifted toward standardized allogeneic umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UCMSCs) and cell-free derivatives. The strongest and most consistent benefits appear in ischemic and wound-healing complications, particularly diabetic foot ulcers, whereas metabolic outcomes remain variable. Together, current early-phase evidence supports MSC therapy as a safe and potentially disease-modifying adjunct, although larger randomized trials with harmonized endpoints are needed to confirm efficacy.\n\nID: 42612953\nTitle: Neurobehavioral and metabolic consequences of embryonic triphenyl phosphate exposure across the lifespan in zebrafish.\nAbstract: Triphenyl phosphate (TPP) is a second-generation flame retardant which is wide-spread in the environment and persistent in the body. Early developmental exposure to TPP has been shown to cause significant neurobehavioral alterations that persist into adulthood. Questions remain concerning the neurobehavioral effects of developmental TPP exposure across the full lifespan and relevant mechanisms of long-term dysfunction. Using a zebrafish model, the current study examined the effects of TPP exposure during the first five days after fertilization on later life sensorimotor activity, emotional function, social response and mitochondrial energetics, specifically in late adulthood. Early developmental TPP exposure was found to cause locomotor hypoactivity in larvae. In the novel tank test TPP-induced hyperactivity was seen at 2.5\u202fmonths and hypoactivity at 14\u202fmonths. Correspondingly, the diving response only showed a subtle effect in this test, with TPP exposed 14-month old fish showing time dependent enhancements of the diving response. In the predator avoidance test, 8-month old fish showed greater avoidance of slow predator cues after developmental TPP exposure, but these fish no longer showed this pattern when tested at 14\u202fmonths old. No significant effects of developmental TPP exposure were seen with tap startle response or shoaling behavior. TPP-induced decreased mitochondrial respiration was detected in the ovaries, but none of the other organs tested. This longitudinal study shows that early developmental TPP exposure is capable to producing neurobehavioral effects, but that those effects may be differentially expressed across development. These effects were not associated with mitochondrial and bioenergetic effects in the brain in late adulthood.\n\nID: 42612879\nTitle: DNMT1-mediated CRNDE hypermethylation aggravates abdominal aortic aneurysm by promoting ferroptosis through the CRNDE-FUS-apelin axis.\nAbstract: This study aimed to investigate the role and molecular mechanism of Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced ferroptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells and the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). An in vitro AAA model was established by stimulating human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HAVSMCs) with Ang II, and an in vivo AAA model was generated by Ang II infusion in ApoE-/- mice. The results showed that Ang II significantly downregulated CRNDE expression. CRNDE overexpression inhibited ferroptosis, improved cell viability, and reduced apoptosis. Mechanistic studies revealed that Ang II suppressed CRNDE expression through DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1)-mediated promoter hypermethylation. CRNDE directly bound to fused in sarcoma (FUS) protein via the GGUG motif within its 61-120 nt region, forming a CRNDE-FUS-apelin promoter ternary complex that upregulated apelin expression by enhancing promoter activity at the transcriptional level and increasing mRNA stability at the post-transcriptional level. Functional rescue experiments confirmed that CRNDE upregulated apelin in a FUS-dependent manner to inhibit ferroptosis. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that CRNDE overexpression significantly suppressed Ang II-induced AAA formation. In conclusion, CRNDE inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell ferroptosis and AAA progression through the formation of the CRNDE-FUS-apelin axis, and targeting this signaling axis may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for AAA.\n\nID: 42612866\nTitle: TMEM175 deficiency impairs autophagic degradation and alleviates mitochondrial oxidative damage in cardiomyocytes through AMPK activation.\nAbstract: Transmembrane protein 175 (TMEM175) is a lysosomal proton-activated and proton-selective channel critical for regulating lysosomal membrane potential and acidity. However, its role in cardiomyocyte physiological and stress response remains unclear. Here, we investigated the function of TMEM175 in mitochondrial homeostasis using H9c2 cardiomyocytes and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) under physiological conditions and during hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. Under physiological conditions, genetic knockout of TMEM175 impaired mitochondrial respiration, reduced mitochondrial superoxide, and attenuated autophagic clearance. In contrast, under H2O2-induced stress, TMEM175 deletion significantly alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death, despite autophagic flux being primarily stalled at the degradation stage. Mechanistically, TMEM175 deficiency activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and silencing AMPK reversed the cytoprotective effects of TMEM175 deletion against H2O2 injury. Pharmacological inhibition of TMEM175 with 2-phenylpyridin-4-ylamine (2-PPA) in H9c2 and NRVMs recapitulated key phenotypes observed in genetic knockout models. Furthermore, 2-PPA improved cardiac function and attenuated histopathological injury in myocardial infarction mice. Together, these findings reveal a dual role for TMEM175: it maintains lysosomal-mitochondrial communication under basal conditions, yet its inhibition protects against oxidative stress primarily through AMPK activation. This study identifies TMEM175 as a novel lysosomal regulator of cardiac mitochondrial resilience and highlights its potential role in the cellular response to oxidative injury in cardiomyocytes.\n\nID: 42612400\nTitle: Bifidobacterium and the gut-immune axis: Mechanistic insights and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Gut-immune axis is a bidirectional network that links the intestinal microbiota to host immune homeostasis. Among commensal microbes, Bifidobacterium species are prominent modulators of mucosal and systemic immunity through strain-specific metabolic, structural, and receptor-mediated mechanisms. This narrative review synthesizes mechanistic, preclinical, and clinical evidence on how Bifidobacterium influences immune regulation, epithelial barrier integrity, and inflammation, emphasizing strain specificity and host context. Bifidobacterium exerts immunomodulatory effects through acetate production, exopolysaccharides, tryptophan-derived indoles, and extracellular vesicles, which regulate dendritic cells, macrophage polarization, secretory IgA, tight junction integrity, and Treg/Th17 balance. These effects are highly strain-dependent and are influenced by diet, obesity, host genetics, and disease state. Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests potential benefits in antibiotic-associated dysbiosis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer therapy response, early life immune maturation, and selected metabolic and neuroimmune disorders, although the outcomes remain heterogeneous. Bifidobacterium should be viewed as a diverse group of immunomodulatory microbes rather than a uniform probiotic genus. Its therapeutic potential depends on the strain selection, host context, and ecological interactions within the gut microbiome. Precision and strain-resolved approaches supported by multi-omics and clinical validation are required to translate these perspectives into routine practice.\n\nID: 42612337\nTitle: Lipoprotein(a) carries triglyceride species associated with incident cardiovascular disease.\nAbstract: Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is described as a low-density lipoprotein-like particle, but recent work suggests heterogeneity, including triglyceride (TG)-rich features. We investigated whether native Lp(a) carries an apolipoprotein E (APOE)-associated TG signature, whether it is remodeled postprandially, and whether Lp(a)-associated TG species are linked to cardiovascular risk. Plasma Lp(a) was immunocaptured under native conditions and analyzed by proteomics in patients with high Lp(a) (n\u202f=\u202f15) and lipidomics in healthy volunteers (n\u202f=\u202f9). Lp(a) produced in HepG2 cells was characterized using immunoprecipitation, density gradient ultracentrifugation, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibition, and fatty acid loading. Matched fasting and postprandial samples assessed Lp(a) lipidome remodeling (n\u202f=\u202f6). The relationship between Lp(a)-associated TGs and cardiovascular risk was examined in the community-based Bruneck Study (n\u202f=\u202f623). Direct plasma Lp(a) immunocapture showed APOE enrichment, confirmed by proteomics, immunoblotting, reverse APOE immunocapture, and size-exclusion chromatography followed by Lp(a) immunoprecipitation. In vitro, HepG2 cells secreted APOE-containing Lp(a) that was more buoyant than apolipoprotein B (APOB)-only particles and less affected by lomitapide or fatty acid loading. The Lp(a) lipidome was more stable postprandially than plasma lipids. Plasma Lp(a) depletion reduced 35 lipid species, predominantly TGs, including TG(52:3) and TG(52:4), previously linked to incident cardiovascular disease. TG reduction following Lp(a) depletion correlated with attenuation of cardiovascular risk after Lp(a) adjustment in the Bruneck Study, supporting a clinically relevant TG signature of native Lp(a). Native plasma Lp(a) carries a defined TG signature that is relatively stable postprandially and linked to incident cardiovascular disease.\n\nID: 42612071\nTitle: lncRNAs and miRNAs in Exosome-Mediated Macrophage Polarization: Implications for Age-Related Macular Degeneration.\nAbstract: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive and multifactorial retinal disease that represents a leading cause of irreversible vision loss among the elderly. Increasing evidence suggests that exosomes, small extracellular vesicles that mediate intercellular communication, play a critical role in regulating immune and angiogenic signaling in the retina. These vesicles transport diverse molecular cargo, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Recent studies highlight the importance of exosome-mediated ncRNA signaling in macrophage polarization, a key immunological process involved in AMD progression. Exosomal miRNAs and lncRNAs released from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, endothelial cells, and immune cells can regulate macrophage phenotypes and alter inflammatory and angiogenic pathways within the retina. Dysregulated ncRNAs, including miR-21, miR-23a, miR-150, and the lncRNA NEAT1, have been implicated in promoting macrophage-driven inflammation, lipid dysregulation, and pathological neovascularization. Through these mechanisms, exosomal ncRNAs contribute to the transition from early retinal stress and drusen formation to advanced forms of AMD characterized by geographic atrophy or choroidal neovascularization. In addition to their mechanistic role in disease progression, exosomal ncRNAs show promise as minimally invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring of AMD. Their stability in biological fluids, such as plasma, aqueous humor, and vitreous fluid, suggests their potential use in liquid biopsy approaches. Moreover, engineered exosomes carrying therapeutic ncRNAs represent a promising strategy for modulating macrophage polarization and restoring retinal immune homeostasis. This review integrates current knowledge on the exosome-ncRNA-macrophage axis in AMD, highlighting its role in retinal immune regulation, disease progression, and therapeutic development. Understanding this emerging signaling network may provide new opportunities to develop precision diagnostic tools and targeted therapies to prevent or slow retinal degeneration in AMD.\n\nID: 42611932\nTitle: Evaluation of extracellular microRNAs as potential biomarker candidates for assessing chlamydia reinfection risk.\nAbstract: Chlamydia trachomatis infection remains prevalent, with high rates of reinfection. Most infections are asymptomatic, and without treatment, women are at risk for reproductive and perinatal complications that are exacerbated with repeat infections. Currently, no C. trachomatis vaccine is available nor are there clinical biomarkers to predict reinfection risk. Small, non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarker candidates because of their easy isolation, high stability, and role as molecular messengers. MiRNAs can be intracellular and/or extracellular, with the latter being released from cells and either packaged into extracellular vesicles (EVs) or freely circulating in association with proteins. We identified miRNAs from serum EVs and whole serum collected from 42 women (53 samples) and 35 women (49 samples), respectively. Sera were collected at a baseline treatment visit and a 3-month follow-up visit, where women were determined to be reinfected or not reinfected by nucleic acid amplification test. MiRNA profiles were evaluated using Bruker nCounter microarrays, data were positive ligation normalized, miRNAs were categorized as detected or not detected, nominal significance was calculated using Fisher's exact test, and predicted target mRNAs were assessed with Qiagen's Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Detection of EV-derived miR-888-5p at baseline was associated with reinfection at the follow-up visit. For whole serum, detection of miR-1285-5p, -548aa\u2009+\u2009548t-3p, and -575 at baseline were associated with absence of reinfection at follow-up. MiRs-888-5p and -548aa aligned with varying degrees to mRNA targets associated with CD8+ and CD4\u2009+\u2009T-cell functions, with miR-888-5p demonstrating strong CD8\u2009+\u2009T-cell associations while miR-548aa was largely associated with CD4\u2009+\u2009T-cell responses. Distinct EV and whole serum miRNAs were identified as potential biomarker candidates that are associated with reinfection risk. Our findings are preliminary, and future work includes validation studies to confirm whether these miRNAs can predict C. trachomatis reinfection risk.\n\nID: 42611889\nTitle: Brain Organoids as Emerging Platforms for Modeling CNS Infections: Neuropathogenesis, Therapeutic Discovery, and Drug Delivery.\nAbstract: Neurotropic viruses remain a persistent global health challenge, and the mechanisms by which they damage the human brain are not yet fully understood. Animal models are often limited by human-specific aspects of CNS biology, whereas two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures cannot recapitulate the complex three-dimensional (3D) cellular interactions that occur during viral infection of the brain. Over the past decade, brain organoids derived from human stem cells have emerged as physiologically relevant models that address these limitations. These 3D cultures self-assemble into structures containing neurons, astrocytes, and progenitor cells arranged in patterns that resemble early brain development. This review examines the application of brain organoids to the study of infections caused by Zika virus (ZIKV), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), herpes simplex virus (HSV), and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Studies were screened from PubMed and shortlisted based on their relevance to organoid-based CNS infection modeling, antiviral drug screening, CNS-targeted drug delivery, and neuroinflammation. Organoid-based antiviral screening has identified promising compounds from libraries containing more than 1,000 candidates. Drug delivery strategies are also discussed, with particular emphasis on nanoparticles, polymer-based carriers, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) evaluated in organoid and spheroid models for their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and deliver therapeutic cargo to neural cells. The roles of damage-associated and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs and PAMPs) in neuroinflammation, complement evasion, and chronic post-infection damage, including long COVID, are also examined. Current limitations, including the lack of functional vasculature, incomplete BBB components, and reproducibility challenges, are discussed. Despite these limitations, CNS organoids bridge the gap between basic research and clinical application, advancing the development of effective therapies for viral infections of the brain.\n\nID: 42611815\nTitle: Mechanisms contributing to the age at onset of temporal lobe epilepsy due to hippocampal sclerosis.\nAbstract: Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) secondary to hippocampal sclerosis (HS) is a common cause of drug-resistant epilepsy. HS is characterized by neuronal loss in selected hippocampal subfields and gliosis. Age at epilepsy onset (AEO) critically influences disease severity and treatment response. We compared early AEO (<10\u2009years) and late AEO (>11\u2009years) in hippocampi from patients undergoing surgery for HS (n\u2009=\u200930). HS hippocampi showed altered mitochondrial enzyme activities and membrane potential (vs controls). Early AEO showed reduced membrane potential and ATP and increased proton leak, whereas other activities did not differ significantly between early and late AEO. Altered proteomic profile of mitochondrial complexes, organization, and metabolic pathways was noted in early AEO. Astrocytic proteomics revealed altered markers of blood-brain barrier (BBB), apoptosis, and excitotoxicity in early AEO. Overexpression of aquaporins, BBB junction proteins, and ion channels suggests compensatory mechanisms in late AEO. Proteomics of hippocampal subfields revealed increased expression of antioxidant and synaptic proteins in dentate gyrus in late AEO, indicating neuroprotective mechanisms, whereas CA1 showed downregulation of glutamate receptors and mitochondrial proteins, consistent with neuronal death. Based on these results, we propose that early AEO-HS is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, whereas non-mitochondrial factors are associated with late AEO-HS.\n\nID: 42616755\nTitle: When muscles matter in SORD neuropathy.\nAbstract: Biallelic pathogenic variants in SORD (Sorbitoldehydrongenase gene), encoding sorbitol dehydrogenase, are a common cause of autosomal recessive axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2). Recent evidence suggests direct involvement of skeletal muscle in addition to peripheral nerve degeneration. We investigated muscle biopsies from 4 genetically confirmed CMT-SORD patients using an integrative approach. Histological evaluation revealed features of chronic denervation with grouped fiber atrophy, fiber-type grouping and central nuclei, ie, non-specific neurogenic muscle atrophy. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated mitochondrial abnormalities and expansion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Proteomic profiling identified 220 significantly dysregulated proteins in CMT-SORD muscle, including alterations in mitochondrial complex I components, redox enzymes, and metabolic regulators distinct from changes observed in other rare recessive CMTs. Quantitative PCR validated increased levels of NNMT, POSTN, TACO1, as well as complement and immunomodulatory factors, suggesting mitochondrial stress, compensatory metabolic activation and tissue remodeling. Despite mitochondrial vulnerability, serum studies indicated that GDF-15 and FGF-21 did not appear to be suitable biomarkers for CMT-SORD. These findings demonstrate that SORD deficiency induces molecular and structural changes in skeletal muscle that extend beyond denervation, implicating impaired sorbitol metabolism, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction as intrinsic myopathic features of SORD-related CMT2. They indicate the need for therapeutic strategies targeting both neuronal and muscular compartments.\n\nID: 42616073\nTitle: Transcriptomic profiling and structural characterization reveal UQCRC1 and COX4I1 as key mitochondrial regulators associated with oxidative stress in multiple sclerosis.\nAbstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated disorder of the central nervous system characterized by inflammatory demyelination, progressive neurodegeneration, and irreversible disability. While immune dysregulation initiates disease pathology, the molecular mechanisms linking chronic inflammation to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress remain incompletely understood. An integrative, multi-layered systems biology approach was applied to four independent RNA-sequencing datasets derived from MS white matter lesions, lesion-border microglia/macrophages, and Epstein-Barr virus-associated B cells. Differential gene expression analysis was combined with targeted prioritization of mitochondrial and oxidative stress-related genes using curated databases. Protein-protein interaction network construction, hub gene identification, Gene Ontology, and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify prioritized mitochondrial genes and enriched biological pathways. Independent validation was conducted using CNS-specific TNMplot expression profiling, and prognostic relevance was assessed through immunogenomic survival analysis. Structural and functional impacts of prioritized variants were evaluated using in silico pathogenicity prediction, protein stability analysis, secondary structure modeling, and three-dimensional structural assessment, including MutPred2 and HOPE analyses. Transcriptomic integration revealed consistent dysregulation of gene expression profiles across all datasets. Functional enrichment analyses identified mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation as the most significantly enriched biological process, suggesting an association between altered mitochondrial respiratory pathways and MS-related molecular signatures. Network and enrichment analyses consistently prioritized UQCRC1 and COX4I1 as key mitochondrial hub genes, corresponding to core subunits of respiratory chain complexes III and IV, respectively. These genes were recurrently enriched across biological processes, cellular components, molecular functions, and neurodegeneration-related pathways. CNS-restricted validation confirmed their differential expression, while immunogenomic analysis demonstrated that higher expression levels were associated with improved overall survival. Variant-level analysis identified UQCRC1 (G235R, L197R) and COX4I1 (G155C, P152R) as deleterious substitutions predicted to destabilize protein structure, disrupt domain interactions, and impair electron transport efficiency. Functional predictions further indicated altered catalytic activity, metal binding, and structural integrity, supporting their potential functional relevance to mitochondrial biology. This study demonstrates that mitochondrial respiratory chain-related pathways, particularly those involving complexes III and IV, are consistently associated with the transcriptomic alterations observed in multiple sclerosis. UQCRC1 and COX4I1 emerged as prioritized mitochondrial hub genes supported by integrated transcriptomic, network, prognostic, and structural analyses. These findings provide evidence that mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox homeostasis may contribute to MS pathobiology and warrant further experimental investigation as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.\n\nID: 42614376\nTitle: Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide and mitochondrial homeostasis in neuronal injury: mechanisms and translational prospects.\nAbstract: Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) is a pleiotropic neuropeptide widely distributed in the nervous system, exhibiting potent cytoprotective effects across a spectrum of neurological disorders. Its neuroprotection is largely mediated through three G protein-coupled receptors (PAC1, VPAC1, VPAC2), activating downstream pathways that converge on preserving mitochondrial integrity. Mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by bioenergetic failure, oxidative stress, perturbed dynamics (such as fusion and fission), and impaired quality control, is a hallmark of traumatic nerve injury, cerebral ischemia, and retinal neuropathy. This review systematically synthesizes recent evidence elucidating how PACAP counteracts these pathological processes. We detail its mechanisms in 1) mitigating neuropathic pain and promoting axonal regeneration after peripheral nerve trauma; 2) attenuating excitotoxicity, apoptosis, and neuroinflammation following cerebral ischemia by regulating mitochondrial permeability, fission/fusion balance, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation; and 3) protecting retinal ganglion cells against diabetic retinopathy and glaucomatous damage via modulating oxidative stress and apoptotic signaling. Furthermore, we discuss the translational potential of PACAP, including its biomarker value in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma for injury prognosis, and the promise of innovative delivery routes to enhance brain bioavailability. By focusing on mitochondrial-centric mechanisms, this review underscores PACAP as a neuroprotective regulator and highlights its candidacy for developing next-generation neurotherapeutics.\n\nID: 42613296\nTitle: Corrigendum to \"O-GlcNAc transferase orchestrates oocyte maturation by modulating the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I\" [Free Radic. Biol. Med. 248 (2026) 194-209, FRB 17667].\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42613239\nTitle: Mitochondrial Complex II in the regulation of immunopathology.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial complex II, succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), links the tricarboxylic acid cycle to the electron transport chain by oxidizing succinate to fumarate and reducing ubiquinone. This unusual position gives Complex II control over bioenergetics, redox state, succinate signaling, and chromatin regulation. In immune cells, Complex II regulates macrophage responses via the succinate-hypoxia-inducible factor-1\u03b1-IL-1\u03b2 axis, T-cell proliferation, lineage commitment, and cytotoxicity. In target tissues of an aberrant immune attack, such as the intestinal epithelium and stem-cell compartments, SDHA loss lowers tissue tolerance, promotes inflammatory memory through succinate-driven epigenetic reprogramming, and amplifies immune-mediated injury. In tumors, SDH loss increases antigen presentation and their susceptibility to T-cell killing. Complex II, therefore, regulates immunopathology through its actions within both attacking immune cells and injured target tissues.\n\nID: 42613015\nTitle: Feasibility of Concurrent 1 H MRS and 31 P MRSI at 7\u00a0T: Brain Energy Metabolism Responses to Hyperglycemia.\nAbstract: How the human brain adjusts fuel handling and its bioenergetic state during changing glucose levels remains difficult to assess noninvasively. In this study, we established an interleaved multinuclear 7\u00a0T MR spectroscopy protocol to track a glucose-related 1 H signal alongside 31 P measures of high-energy phosphate metabolism during a hyperglycemic clamp. Five healthy adults completed a morning, fasted infusion experiment consisting of baseline, ramp-up, and hyperglycemic stages over \u223c 120\u00a0min. Short-block, short-TE 1 H single-voxel spectroscopy (STEAM, TE\u00a0=\u00a011\u00a0ms; mean block duration 5 . 71 \u00b1 0 . 62 \u00a0min) was acquired in frontal cortex and quantified using the composite glucose + taurine (Glc + Tau) measure. 31 P was acquired with rapid 3D PETALUTE MRSI using an ultrashort echo time (UTE; TE\u00a0=\u00a065\u00a0 \u03bc s; 381\u00a0s per block), and high-energy phosphate ratios were derived from a posterior cortical region of interest. Across participants, 1 H Glc + Tau increased with blood glucose and showed significant elevations from baseline into hyperglycemia. In parallel, 31 P ratios exhibited smaller but significant glycemia-linked responses: both PCr/Pi and \u03b3 ATP/Pi increased with blood glucose and differed across glucose clamp stages. These findings show that 1 H and 31 P MRS(I) can be interleaved at 7\u00a0T to measure energy metabolism within a single session.\n\nID: 42612602\nTitle: Identification of a novel likely pathogenic MT-TS2 variant in a patient with mitochondrial myopathy, retinitis pigmentosa and sensorineural hearing loss.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial diseases are a prevalent cause of metabolic disorders arising from nuclear or mitochondrial DNA mutations. Their clinical and genetic heterogeneity highlight their diagnostic complexity. A 55-year-old male patient with Kallmann syndrome, retinitis pigmentosa and congenital sensorineural hearing loss presented with a one-year history of generalized weakness and imbalance. Examination revealed generalized muscle atrophy, hyporeflexia, and mild tetraparesis. Following an electromyography suggestive of proximal myopathy, muscle biopsy was consistent with mitochondrial myopathy. Mitochondrial respiratory chain analysis demonstrated increased activity of complex II and residual increases in complex I and cytochrome C. Full mitochondrial DNA sequencing identified a heteroplasmic MT-TS2 variant (m.12257G>A), with 15% heteroplasmy in blood and nearly 100% in muscle tissue. This variant was classified as likely pathogenic. This case illustrates a new potentially pathogenic variant in the MT-TS2 gene. Comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial DNA is essential to establish a definitive diagnosis.\n\nID: 42612501\nTitle: Constructing electron transfer channels between MoFe and bacteria for effective antibacterial therapy.\nAbstract: Although the phenomenon of current flow between bacteria and nanomaterials has long been observed, the direction of electron flow and specific interaction sites remain unclear. To address this, we designed a molybdenum (Mo) - based heterojunction electron reservoir (MOSF nanocrystals), enabling rapid Mo6+/Mo4+ cycling, and introduced Fe as a mediator to shuttle electrons into bacteria through surface Fe3+/Fe2+ redox. Upon contact with bacteria, MOSF nanocrystals (NCs) have the potential to block the coenzyme Q (CoQ)-mediated electron transport chain (ETC), causing energy depletion and bacterial death. This study also pioneers the development of a real-time fluorescent detection system to monitor electronic interference with bacterial ETC. This system can track how electrons in MOSF NCs inhibit bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication, which is attributed to the inhibition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. By integrating transcriptomic and biochemical analysis techniques, we deduced at the atomic level that the antibacterial effect likely stems from the disruption of CoQ on the bacterial cell membrane, which in turn blocks the bacterial ETC. This study proposes an effective antibacterial nanoenzyme and a novel detection system, and provides an in-depth exploration of electron interference at the molecular level, advancing the development of bioenergetic therapeutics.\n\nID: 42611418\nTitle: Dental Pulp Regeneration: A Comprehensive Review of Stem Cells, Biomaterials, and Bioactive Cues.\nAbstract: Dental pulp regeneration (DPR) is an important research direction in regenerative endodontics that seeks to restore pulp vitality, sensation, immune defense, and the pulp-dentin architecture rather than merely retain a non-vital tooth. This review provides a mechanistically coupled and clinically focused synthesis of three interacting elements: stem/progenitor cells, biomaterials, and bioactive signals. Dental and non-dental cell sources are compared with emphasis on their angiogenic, neurogenic, odontogenic, and immunomodulatory characteristics and on the donor- and culture-dependent variability that affects product potency. Rather than presenting scaffolds only by material class, the review offers a structured critical correlation of stiffness, viscoelasticity, porosity, degradation, and bioactivity with cell fate, extracellular matrix organization, vascularization, and the risk of ectopic mineralization. Regulated growth-factor presentation, peptide-based signals, gene-activated constructs, extracellular vesicles, immune-instructive materials, and mechanobiological approaches are evaluated according to the highest experimental model in which they have been demonstrated. A stratified research framework is proposed to examine how age, inflammatory phenotype, systemic disease, apical anatomy, and regional heterogeneity of the pulp microenvironment may influence regenerative responses. The supporting evidence remains predominantly in vitro or preclinical. Cell-free regenerative endodontic procedures are clinically accepted for selected immature necrotic teeth with open apices, but available human histology most often demonstrates repair rather than recreation of a native pulp-dentin complex. Human cell transplantation studies remain small and early-phase, and advanced gene-, vesicle-, biofabrication-, and computational strategies have not yet demonstrated clinical efficacy. The framework is therefore presented as an evidence-graded research roadmap rather than a description of established personalized therapy.\n\nID: 42611334\nTitle: Ternary MOF-PEDOT: PSS/AuNPs nanocomposite for ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of extracellular vesicles.\nAbstract: A highly sensitive label-free aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor is reported for the direct detection of extracellular vesicles (EVs), a promising circulating biomarker associated with disease progression and intercellular communication. The sensing platform was fabricated by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with a ternary nanocomposite comprising a metal-organic framework (MOF), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) conductive polymer, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), followed by immobilization of a CD63 aptamer for selective EV recognition. Comprehensive characterization using FESEM, EDX, TEM, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS analyses confirmed the morphological, structural, and chemical properties of the nanocomposite. The synergistic integration of the high surface area and abundant binding sites of the MOF, the mixed ionic-electronic conductivity of PEDOT: PSS, and the excellent bioconjugation capability of AuNPs enhanced the electrochemical sensing performance. Under optimized conditions, the biosensor achieved an ultralow limit of detection of 3.2 particles/\u00b5L, outperforming recently reported EV biosensors, with recovery rates ranging from 87 to 100% in serum samples. Importantly, the high sensitivity of the biosensor enables reliable detection of low-abundance tumor-derived EVs in complex biological matrices (as low as ~\u200910 particles/\u00b5L) while also demonstrating good reproducibility, selectivity, and storage stability. Furthermore, the platform successfully differentiated EV profiles between healthy individuals and cancer patients, highlighting its promising potential for clinical translation as a rapid and minimally invasive cancer screening tool.\n\nID: 42611333\nTitle: Immune reconstitution and tolerance-inducing therapies as promising therapeutic approaches in multiple sclerosis.\nAbstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex, progressive neurodegenerative autoimmune disease and a major cause of neurological disability worldwide. MS affects approximately 2.8-3\u00a0million people, predominantly presenting as relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) that frequently converts to secondary progressive disease, while effective options for progressive phenotypes remain limited. This review reframes MS immunotherapy through a tolerance-centric paradigm, distinguishing continuous maintenance disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) from immune reconstitution therapies (IRTs) and emerging antigen-specific tolerance strategies. Classical immune reconstitution therapies, including alemtuzumab, cladribine, and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT), have demonstrated durable disease control and prolonged periods of no evidence of disease activity (NEDA) in appropriately selected patients. This is accomplished through a finite course of lymphocyte depletion followed by qualitative immune repopulation that favors tolerogenic regulatory T (Treg) and regulatory B (Breg) cells over pathogenic Th1/Th17 clones. In contrast, maintenance DMTs (interferons, sphingosine-1-phosphate modulators, anti-CD20 monoclonals, natalizumab) suppress inflammation activity during continuous administration but lack durable immune reset. Building on IRT principles, next-generation cell-based therapies (tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs), autologous Tregs, and mesenchymal stromal cells/extracellular vesicles (MSCs/EVs)), aim to induce precision, antigen-specific tolerance while minimizing systemic immunosuppression. These approaches hold promise for overcoming the limitations of chronic immunosuppression, providing durable disease control, and improving long-term patient outcomes. Collectively, immune reconstitution and tolerance-inducing therapies represent an emerging shift from lifelong disease control toward durable immune resetting and the possibility of sustained drug-free remission in MS.\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.

While immune dysregulation initiates disease pathology, the molecular mechanisms linking chronic inflammation to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress remain incompletely understood. An integrative, multi-layered systems biology approach was applied to four independent RNA-sequencing datasets derived from MS white matter lesions, lesion-border microglia/macrophages, and Epstein-Barr virus-associated B cells. Differential gene expression analysis was combined with targeted prioritization of mitochondrial and oxidative stress-related genes using curated databases. Protein-protein interaction network construction, hub gene identification, Gene Ontology, and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify prioritized mitochondrial genes and enriched biological pathways. Independent validation was conducted using CNS-specific TNMplot expression profiling, and prognostic relevance was assessed through immunogenomic survival analysis. Structural and functional impacts of prioritized variants were evaluated using in silico pathogenicity prediction, protein stability analysis, secondary structure modeling, and three-dimensional structural assessment, including MutPred2 and HOPE analyses. Transcriptomic integration revealed consistent dysregulation of gene expression profiles across all datasets. Functional enrichment analyses identified mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation as the most significantly enriched biological process, suggesting an association between altered mitochondrial respiratory pathways and MS-related molecular signatures. Network and enrichment analyses consistently prioritized UQCRC1 and COX4I1 as key mitochondrial hub genes, corresponding to core subunits of respiratory chain complexes III and IV, respectively. These genes were recurrently enriched across biological processes, cellular components, molecular functions, and neurodegeneration-related pathways. CNS-restricted validation confirmed their differential expression, while immunogenomic analysis demonstrated that higher expression levels were associated with improved overall survival. Variant-level analysis identified UQCRC1 (G235R, L197R) and COX4I1 (G155C, P152R) as deleterious substitutions predicted to destabilize protein structure, disrupt domain interactions, and impair electron transport efficiency. Functional predictions further indicated altered catalytic activity, metal binding, and structural integrity, supporting their potential functional relevance to mitochondrial biology. This study demonstrates that mitochondrial respiratory chain-related pathways, particularly those involving complexes III and IV, are consistently associated with the transcriptomic alterations observed in multiple sclerosis. UQCRC1 and COX4I1 emerged as prioritized mitochondrial hub genes supported by integrated transcriptomic, network, prognostic, and structural analyses. These findings provide evidence that mitochondrial bioenergetics and redox homeostasis may contribute to MS pathobiology and warrant further experimental investigation as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42616073 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"apoE4, when compared with apoE3, obviously decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial respiration, and glycolysis in a culture time-dependent manner.\" (Source: 34611141)\n- \"Creatine is pivotal in maintaining neuronal energy equilibrium via the phosphocreatine system, thereby facilitating mitochondrial functionality and adenosine triphosphate availability within neural cells.\" (Source: 42614552)\n- \"preclinical evidence demonstrates that exosomes can modulate amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, \u03b1-synuclein pathology, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.\" (Source: 42613696)\n- \"ENA can enhance spatial learning and memory, as well as recognition memory, induced by CSD, and effectively reverse the abnormal changes in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the DG region of the hippocampus.\" (Source: 42602088)\n\n\nINSTRUCTION: Study the actual abstracts provided.

Current evidence supports independent roles for these factors in metabolic and neuroplastic regulation, yet explicit evidence confirming their convergent stabilization of respiratory complexes as a singular requisite for hippocampal neurogenesis remains unproven and requires further mechanistic interrogation.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe interplay between systemic metabolic state and central nervous system (CNS) repair is an emerging frontier. ApoE4 has been identified as a key disruptor of bioenergetics; \"apoE4, when compared with apoE3, obviously decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial respiration, and glycolysis in a culture time-dependent manner.\" Parallel research on EVs demonstrates their versatility in metabolic support, as \"preclinical evidence demonstrates that exosomes can modulate amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, \u03b1-synuclein pathology, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction.\" The convergence of these mechanisms toward hippocampal structural plasticity is suggested by studies on chronic sleep deprivation, where \"ENA can enhance spatial learning and memory, as well as recognition memory, induced by CSD, and effectively reverse the abnormal changes in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the DG region of the hippocampus.\" Furthermore, exogenous metabolic support like \"Creatine is pivotal in maintaining neuronal energy equilibrium via the phosphocreatine system, thereby facilitating mitochondrial functionality and adenosine triphosphate availability within neural cells.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* ApoE4 is not merely a transport protein but a metabolic stressor that impairs mitochondrial membrane potential and glycolysis in astrocytes.\n* EVs possess a 30-fold higher ganglioside content than the parent cells, suggesting unique signaling capabilities in mediating neuroplasticity.\n* The entorhinal cortex exhibits region-specific bioenergetic regulation, contrasting with the cortex and hippocampus, indicating differential susceptibility to ApoE4.\n* \"Neurogenesis without division\" in cortical immature neurons (cINs) offers a paradigm shift in how we view brain structural plasticity.\n* Pharmacological inhibition of the lysosomal channel TMEM175 can alleviate mitochondrial dysfunction under oxidative stress through AMPK activation.\n* SORD-related neuropathies demonstrate that muscle tissue itself is an active site of mitochondrial complex I and metabolic regulation, complicating systemic disease models.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Intraperitoneal and subcutaneous administration of D-gal causes memory impairments, a reduction in the neurogenesis of adult mice, an increase in the levels of the amyloid precursor protein and oxidative damage; However, the effects of oral D-gal remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the oral administration of D-gal induces abnormalities within the mitochondrial respiratory chain of rats. Male Wistar rats (4\u00a0months old) received D-gal (100\u00a0mg/kg v.o.), during the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th or 8th weeks by oral gavage. The activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes was measured in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks after the administration of D-gal. The activity of the respiratory chain complex I was found to have increased in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in the 1st, 6th and 8th weeks, while the activity of the respiratory chain complex II increased in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks within the hippocampus and in the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th weeks within the prefrontal cortex. The activity of complex II-III increased within the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in each week of oral D-gal treatment. The activity of complex IV increased within the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 8th weeks of treatment. After 4\u00a0weeks of treatment the activity increased only in hippocampus. In conclusion, the present study showed that the oral administration of D-gal increased the activity of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I, II, II-III and IV in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Furthermore, the administration of D-gal via the oral route seems to cause the alterations in the mitochondrial respiratory complexes observed in brain neurodegeneration.",

However, the reason for the association between APOE4 and AD remains unclear. While much of the research has focused on the ability of the apoE4 protein to increase the aggregation and decrease the clearance of A\u03b2, there is also an abundance of data showing that APOE4 negatively impacts many additional processes in the brain, including bioenergetics. In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of APOE4's role in AD pathogenesis, we performed a transcriptomics analysis of APOE4 vs. APOE3 expression in the entorhinal cortex (EC) and primary visual cortex (PVC) of aged APOE mice. This study revealed EC-specific upregulation of genes related to oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos). Follow-up analysis utilizing the Seahorse platform showed decreased mitochondrial respiration with age in the hippocampus and cortex of\u00a0APOE4 vs. APOE3 mice, but not in the EC of these mice. Additional studies, as well as the original transcriptomics data, suggest that multiple bioenergetic pathways are differentially regulated by APOE4 expression in the EC of aged APOE mice in order to increase the mitochondrial coupling efficiency in this region. Given the importance of the EC as one of the first regions to be affected by AD pathology in humans, the observation that the EC is susceptible to differential bioenergetic regulation in response to a metabolic stressor such as APOE4 may point to a causative factor in the pathogenesis of AD.",
"34611141": "ID: 34611141\nTitle: APOE4 genotype exacerbates the depression-like behavior of mice during aging through ATP decline.\nAbstract: Population-based studies reveal that apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 gene allele is closely associated with late-life depression (LLD). However, its exact role and underlying mechanism remain obscure. The current study found that aged apoE4-targeted replacement (TR) mice displayed obvious depression-like behavior when compared with age-matched apoE3-TR mice. Furthermore, apoE4 increased stress-induced depression-like behaviors, accompanied by declines in the hippocampal 5-HT (1A) radioligand [18F] MPPF uptake evidenced by positron emission tomography (PET). In [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose PET ([18F]-FDG PET) analyses, the FDG uptake in the prefrontal cortex, temporal cortex and hippocampus of apoE4-TR mice significantly declined when compared with that of apoE3-TR mice after acute stress. Further biochemical analysis revealed that ATP levels in the prefrontal cortex of apoE4-TR mice decreased during aging or stress process and ATP supplementation effectively rescued the depression-like behaviors of elderly apoE4-TR mice. In primary cultured astrocytes from the cortex of apoE-TR mice, apoE4, when compared with apoE3, obviously decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial respiration, and glycolysis in a culture time-dependent manner. Our findings highlight that apoE4 is a potential risk factor of depression in elderly population by impairing the glucose metabolism, reducing ATP level, and damaging mitochondrial functions in astrocytes, which indicates that in clinical settings ATP supplementation may be effective for elderly depression patients with apoE4 carrier.",
"42589353": "ID: 42589353\nTitle: Immature Neurons in the Postnatal Brain: Markers, Modulation, and Involvement in Normal and Aberrant Plasticity.\nAbstract: Cortical immature neurons (cINs) represent a unique population of prenatally generated, non-dividing neurons that maintain an immature phenotype, characterized by doublecortin (DCX) and polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) expression, into adulthood. Unlike canonical adult neurogenesis involving continuous neuron generation from stem cell niches, cINs constitute a distinct form of structural plasticity termed \"neurogenesis without division\". This review comprehensively examines the molecular markers, morphological diversity, developmental origins, and maturation trajectories of cINs across species. We highlight the striking inverse interspecies relationship between cIN abundance and canonical adult neurogenesis, reflecting distinct biophysical and structural shifts in neural plasticity mechanisms across mammalian lineages. Furthermore, we discuss factors modulating cIN phenotype, including neurotransmitter systems, stress, sensory experience, and aging. Clinical evidence implicating cIN alterations in temporal lobe epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and stroke is evaluated, revealing potential roles in both pathological circuit remodeling and endogenous repair. Critical gaps remain regarding the molecular programs maintaining immaturity, differentiation triggers, and the functional consequences of circuit integration. Understanding cIN biology offers new perspectives on cortical plasticity and may inform therapeutic strategies targeting endogenous cellular reserves for brain repair.",

Integrating sensory inputs with internal physiological states, the brain orchestrates balance, posture, movement, speech, emotions, the creation of memories, and the ability to learn. Whether due to trauma, disease, or stroke, disruptions to brain architecture have long-lasting consequences for a person's physical, behavioral, emotional, and cognitive health. Comparative studies using model systems to identify meaningful therapies and treatments are critical to elucidate the mechanisms underlying regenerative processes in the brain. This review focuses on the model organism Drosophila melanogaster, which has a large repertoire of available molecular and genetic tools for investigation of neural regeneration.",
"42591826": "ID: 42591826\nTitle: Epidermal growth factor receptor modulation for neural repair: Implications for neurodegenerative disease therapy.\nAbstract: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB1/HER1) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and tissue repair. In the nervous system, EGFR is expressed in neural progenitors, astrocytes, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, and neuronal populations, where its functions are context dependent. EGFR signaling contributes to neural regeneration by promoting progenitor proliferation, neuronal survival, neurogenesis, and remyelination following injury. However, sustained or excessive EGFR activation can drive reactive astrogliosis, neuroinflammation, glial scar formation, and neurotoxicity. Emerging evidence suggests that transient, regulated EGFR activation supports neural repair, whereas chronic or dysregulated signaling may contribute to neurodegeneration. These apparently opposing effects likely reflect differences in timing, duration, cellular context, ligand availability, and downstream signaling pathways engaged by EGFR activation, rather than inherently contradictory biological functions. In experimental models of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Multiple sclerosis-like conditions, EGFR modulation has shown therapeutic potential, although the mechanisms remain incompletely understood. While EGFR ligands often exert neurotrophic and pro-remyelinating effects, disease-associated EGFR activation may promote maladaptive signaling pathways. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of EGFR signaling in neural repair and neurodegenerative diseases, discuss the context-dependent roles of this pathway, and highlight therapeutic strategies. We further propose a conceptual framework in which EGFR functions as a context-dependent signaling hub, with its outcomes determined by the spatiotemporal regulation of receptor activation. Although challenges remain, including optimal timing, dosing, and safety considerations, preclinical evidence suggests that modulation of EGFR signaling may be a therapeutic approach to promote neural repair while limiting neurodegenerative pathology.",
"42593291": "ID: 42593291\nTitle: Decreased cerebrospinal fluid NDRG2 is associated with non-Alzheimer's disease derived mild cognitive impairment.\nAbstract: BackgroundMild cognitive impairment (MCI) lacks clear clinical biomarkers. N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is predominantly localized in astrocytes and is implicated in cognitive function.ObjectiveThis study aims to explore whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NDRG2 could predict MCI and investigate its underlying mechanisms of cognitive decline.MethodsA total of 650 CSF samples were collected from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database, comprising 157 normal individuals, 366 MCI patients, and 127 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed to assess differences in CSF NDRG2 levels among groups. Linear regression was used to analyze the correlation between NDRG2 and amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), phosphorylated tau (p-tau), 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), albumin quotient (Qalb), and growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to examine the diagnostic performance of NDRG2 for MCI.ResultsCSF NDRG2 levels were significantly reduced in MCI, most prominently in non-A\u03b2 and non-tau subgroups. NDRG2 discriminated A\u03b2-negative MCI with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.719, but showed limited discriminatory capacity in A\u03b2+, tau+, and apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) carrier groups. Furthermore, CSF NDRG2 levels were positively correlated with GAP-43, a marker of synaptic plasticity.ConclusionsThe present study demonstrates that NDRG2 is a potential biomarker for non-AD derived MCI and suggests its involvement in synaptic plasticity impairment.",
"42595210": "ID: 42595210\nTitle: Nuclear distribution element-like 1 is associated with dentate gyrus remodeling after status epilepticus in a pilocarpine-induced mouse model.\nAbstract: Structural remodeling of the dentate gyrus is a hallmark of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Nuclear distribution element-like 1 (Ndel1), a cytoskeleton-associated protein involved in neuronal migration and dendritic development, has not been characterized in dentate gyrus remodeling during epileptogenesis. Here, we investigated region- and cell-type-specific alterations in Ndel1 expression in a pilocarpine-induced mouse model of TLE and examined the effects of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated Ndel1 expression on structural remodeling. Immunofluorescence was used to define Ndel1 localization across neural stem cells, granule lineage cells, mature neurons, and astrocytes, and dendritic architecture was assessed using Golgi staining and Sholl analysis. Total hippocampal Ndel1 expression increased after status epilepticus, whereas Ndel1-positive cells decreased selectively in the subgranular zone but increased among granule lineage cells in the hilus. Ndel1 was preferentially expressed in BLBP-positive neural stem cells and mature neurons, but not in neuroblasts. Activated astrocytic processes exhibited increased spatial association with Ndel1-positive cells during early remodeling. Ndel1 overexpression was associated with partial normalization of neuronal marker distribution, increased dendritic spine density, and reduced dendritic branching complexity. These findings suggest that Ndel1 is associated with region- and lineage-specific structural remodeling in the dentate gyrus during epileptogenesis.",
"42597241": "ID: 42597241\nTitle: Cooperation of transposable elements to endow global networks of initiators of hybrid assembly pathways of endogenous multiprotein complexes.\nAbstract: Mechanisms governing initiation steps of the assembly of endogenous multi-protein complexes (EMC) remain incompletely understood. Here, multiple lines of observations are reported describing the function-aligned initiation sequence of hybrid assembly pathways (HAP) of EMC. The first step of HAP-guided chain reactions of protein-protein interactions (PPI) of EMC assemblies constitutes the creation of cell type-specific pools of hetero and homo dimers. The molecular anatomy of HAP was elucidated by defining qualitative and quantitative characteristics of protein binding to a compendium of 200,393 distinct genomic regulatory elements (GRE), including 49,667 sequences representing control sets of genomic loci as well as 150,726 GRE of different evolutionary origins. The consensus sequence of HAP actions consists of: a) Initiation on genomic DNA of the formation of metastable hetero- and homodimers of EMCs' protein constituents; b) Release of dimers from DNA templates for delivery to the EMC assembly compartments; c) Assembly of defined EMC by sequential on demand addition of proteins to preformed dimers serving as attractors of EMC-specific ensembles of monomers. Chromosome-na\u00efve DNA scaffolds facilitating creation of intracellular dimer pools engage networks of ~700 transcription factors (TFs), 534 of which manifest region-specific patterns of significantly enriched expression in 1358 brain regions. HAP initiators appear to operate within nucleosome-depleted islands of transposable elements (TE) - derived sequences within heterochromatin. PPI assembly lines of EMCs operate in 2 concurrent modes: TF-TF PPI cascade and PPI HUB protein cascade. Regardless of the number of DNA-bound initiator TFs (ranging from one to 716 TFs), both modes of operations reached the equilibrium at the PPI constituents saturation levels of ~245 proteins for TF-TF PPI modes and of ~351 proteins for PPI HUB protein modes. Distinct panels of DNA-bound initiator TFs and proteins of PPI cascade ensembles are enriched in either defined sets of neuroanatomical structures (TF-TF mode) or among structural-functional constituents of synapses (HUB proteins mode). Thus, these bifurcated cascades appear biologically congruent: TF-TF constituents map to transcriptional signatures of hundreds of brain regions, whereas HUB constituents map to synaptogenesis and synaptic structures, suggesting the unified logic of genomic functions coordinating region identity and connectivity. Evidence-supported examples of default operations of PPI-guided assemblies of hetero- and homodimers of Yamanaka factors, neurogenesis constituents, and protein components of postsynaptic density of excitatory and inhibitory synaptogenesis are reported with detailed analytical focus on human Claustrum. The foundational set of observations reported in this contribution should facilitate experimental and theoretical explorations of TE-seeded genomic codes for initiators of PPI chain reactions of protein dimerization creating pools of attractors to guide and accelerate the EMC assemblies.",
"42601939": "ID: 42601939\nTitle: Neurogenesis defects in iPSC-derived midbrain organoids of early-onset Parkinson's disease with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.\nAbstract: Sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) is typically a late-onset disorder caused by a combination of genetics, environment, and aging, manifesting when the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons exceeds a critical threshold, usually after the age of 50. Conversely, early-onset PD, as observed in cases linked to parkin (PRKN) gene mutations, suggests mechanisms involving either accelerated postnatal neuron loss or an insufficient number of neurons at birth. Patients with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DS) have a significantly higher prevalence of early-onset PD. The absence of known genes associated with hereditary PD in the deleted region suggests the involvement of novel, non-traditional risk factors. This could potentially implicate the neurodevelopmental origin of dopaminergic neurons arising from the floor plate. To investigate this hypothesis, we generated midbrain organoids from induced pluripotent stem cells derived from a patient with 22q11.2 DS. The organoids recapitulated key aspects of in vivo neurogenesis, revealing enhanced differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in 22q11.2DS- and PRKN-derived organoids compared to controls on days 28 and 56 of culture. These findings suggest that, in early-onset PD patients with 22q11.2 DS or PRKN mutation, enhanced neurogenesis could result in reduced number of dopaminergic neurons during early development. The organoids of early-onset PD demonstrated that progenitors undergo enhanced differentiation at an early stage. This suggests that the atypical developmental process could reduce progenitors before there are enough mature dopaminergic neurons. This in turn indicates that the onset of PD may occur as early as the embryonic stage.",
"42602088": "ID: 42602088\nTitle: Electroacupuncture improves neurocognitive impairment induced by chronic sleep deprivation: an experimental study based on hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.\nAbstract: Normal sleep rhythms are crucial for hippocampus-dependent advanced cognitive functions. Chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) impairs hippocampal neurogenesis and structure, leading to neurocognitive deficits. Electro-nape-acupuncture (ENA) at bilateral Fengchi (GB20) and Gongxue (Extra) is a specialized acupuncture technique for treating insomnia, amnesia, and other brain-originated diseases. This study aims to investigate whether ENA improves CSD-induced cognitive impairment by regulating neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. The modified multi-platform water environment method was used to establish the CSD model. Electroacupuncture or sham electroacupuncture was used to treat bilateral cervical acupoints (Fengchi and Gongxue) for 20\u202fmin, once a day for 14\u202fdays. The Morris water maze experiment evaluated spatial learning and memory in rats, and the new object recognition experiment evaluated recognition memory. Immunofluorescence (IF) staining and Western Blot (WB) were used to detect the expression levels of the hippocampal neurogenesis markers, doublecortin (DCX) and Ki-67. Golgi-Cox staining and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the changes in neurons and synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus. Neurocognitive impairment induced by CSD is associated with abnormal changes in hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. The results of IF and WB showed that the protein expressions of DCX and Ki-67 in the hippocampus of CSD rats were significantly decreased. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that in the DG region of the hippocampus of CSD rats, the synaptic density and the thickness of the postsynaptic density membrane decreased, while the synaptic cleft width increased. Golgi staining showed that the density of dendritic spines in the DG area of the hippocampus in CSD rats decreased significantly, especially mushroom-shaped dendritic spines. ENA can enhance spatial learning and memory, as well as recognition memory, induced by CSD, and effectively reverse the abnormal changes in neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in the DG region of the hippocampus. In male Wistar rats, ENA improves neurocognitive function by promoting neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus and restoring synaptic plasticity, thereby reconstructing neural memory circuits. ENA therapy offers a new strategy for treating cognitive impairments related to chronic sleep deprivation in males, and holds potential significance for the clinical management of cognitive impairment diseases.",
"42603608": "ID: 42603608\nTitle: Exploring the antidepressant-like effects of cannabidiol and/or temozolomide in female mice with induced glioblastoma.\nAbstract: Temozolomide (TMZ), the gold standard drug used for the treatment of glioblastoma, is known to affect healthy brain proliferating cells, inhibiting adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Since most antidepressants mediate their beneficial effect through this process and given the large proportion of glioblastoma patients with depressive symptoms, this preclinical study evaluated the interaction between TMZ and cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabinoid compound with antidepressant-like potential. To do so, adult female nude mice were intracranially implanted with GL261 tumor cells and treated with TMZ (5\u202fmg/kg) or PBS twice a week. Additionally, animals received CBD (30-45\u202fmg/kg) 5\u202fdays/week (1 dose/day) rendering two groups (PBS-CBD vs. TMZ-CBD). To control for the effects of TMZ alone a group of mice was treated with vehicle (TMZ-Veh). MRI was used to evaluate tumor growth and/or its suppression by treatment. Antidepressant-like responses were assessed under stressful settings (forced-swim or tail-suspension tests) and brain samples were collected to evaluate hippocampal neuroplasticity/neurotoxicity markers. The main results showed that the combined treatment with TMZ-CBD decreased tumor volume, induced signs of antidepressant-like responses, while modulated hippocampal FADD as compared to PBS-CBD female mice. However, these effects were no different than the ones observed by TMZ-Veh, suggesting that TMZ alone was sufficient to observe the behavioral and neurochemical responses, and that adding a concomitant CBD treatment did not change that outcome. This data adds to our recent studies suggesting some beneficial affective-like responses induced by TMZ in rodents, while validating them in a female mice model with induced glioblastoma.",
"42604447": "ID: 42604447\nTitle: Multifunctional Janus Membrane Promotes Neurovascular Network Regeneration for Diabetic Wound Healing.\nAbstract: The complex microenvironment of diabetic wounds poses a formidable challenge to tissue repair, particularly due to the absence of a functional neurovascular network. In this study, we developed a multifunctional Janus-structured scaffold (PLGA-PCL+CS+Cu-TA NS+P2, PCTP) by integrating chitosan (CS) electrospun fibers with PLGA-PCL coaxial electrospun fibers loaded with tannic acid (TA)-copper nanosheets (NSs). The NSs were loaded with PTHrP-2 to enhance bioactivity. The unique \"core-shell\" design protects the drug and ensures efficient release. The Janus architecture rationally manages wound exudate while maintaining a moist microenvironment conducive to healing. Moreover, PCTP exhibits excellent mechanical properties and sustained release kinetics. Its potent antioxidant and antibacterial activities effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species, protect mitochondrial integrity, and delay cellular senescence. Crucially, PCTP accelerates the regeneration of dermal fibers and epidermis structures while promoting concurrent neurogenesis and angiogenesis, thereby restoring both structural integrity and functional competence. In diabetic rat models, PCTP significantly enhanced vascularization, collagen deposition, and inflammation modulation. Collectively, this multifunctional scaffold represents a promising therapeutic strategy for achieving integrated structural and functional skin regeneration in the challenging diabetic milieu.",
"42604557": "ID: 42604557\nTitle: Reprogramming lineage-traced M\u00fcller glia for robust proliferation and neurogenesis in adult mammalian retinas.\nAbstract: The therapeutic potential of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated one-step glia-to-neuron conversion has been challenged following rigorous lineage-tracing analyses. In zebrafish, M\u00fcller glia (MG) serve as retinal stem cells to replenish lost neurons after injury. In contrast, mammalian MG do not spontaneously re-enter the cell cycle, and limited neurogenesis occurs in response to neurotoxic injury. Here, we demonstrate that activation of FGF2/MAPK signaling, following AAV-mediated gene transfer of Ascl1, effectively stimulates lineage-traced MG to undergo robust cell-cycle re-entry in adult mice, independent of neurotoxic injury. With the addition of retinoic acid, this approach further reprograms a significant proportion of proliferative MG-derived progenitor-like cells into regenerative states, driving enhanced in vivo neurogenesis. Using multiplex techniques, we reveal distinct phases of cell fate transitions during in vivo MG-derived neurogenesis. This approach provides a two-step strategy for inducing MG proliferation and subsequent MG-derived neurogenesis, which may represent a potent avenue toward retinal regeneration.",
"42604711": "ID: 42604711\nTitle: Effects of Micro- and Nanoplastic Exposure During Critical Developmental Periods on the Central Nervous System: A Systematic Review of Rodent Models.\nAbstract: Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are persistent environmental pollutants capable of crossing biological barriers, including the placenta and the blood-brain barrier, raising concerns about their impact on neurodevelopment. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from experimental rodent models, revealing morphological, molecular, and behavioral alterations associated with developmental MNPs exposure in rodent models and highlighting their potential relevance for understanding neurodevelopmental vulnerability. Following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO CRD420251127469), MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science were searched without date limits (last search: 18 Aug 2025). The review followed a PECO framework: population: mammalian in vivo models; exposure: MNPs during gestation, lactation, childhood, or adolescence; comparator: non-exposed or vehicle-treated controls; outcomes: behavioral, structural, or molecular central nervous system effects. Study reliability was assessed using ToxRTool. Due to heterogeneity, findings were narratively synthesized by exposure window (prenatal, postnatal, combined prenatal-early postnatal exposure). Of 542 records, 20 studies met inclusion criteria. All included studies used rodents (mice or rats) and evaluated polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyvinyl chloride particles delivered mainly by oral routes. Our analysis identified the central nervous system as an important target of MNPs, with convergent findings across exposure windows revealing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation (microglial/astrocytic activation), apoptosis/ferroptosis, disrupted neurogenesis and myelination, and synaptic/dendritic abnormalities. Neurochemical alterations frequently involved GABAergic and glutamatergic imbalance, with context-specific dopaminergic changes. Behaviorally, MNPs were associated with impaired learning and memory, increased anxiety-like responses, altered sociability, and repetitive/stereotyped behaviors. Several studies suggested microbiota-gut-brain interactions via intestinal barrier disruption, dysbiosis, and systemic inflammation. In rodent models, the available evidence suggests that early-life MNPs exposure may contribute to developmental neurotoxicity, which is characterized by multilevel central nervous system alterations and behavioral impairments. Standardized, environmentally relevant exposure paradigms, sex-stratified analyses, and longitudinal follow-up are needed to clarify dose-response, persistence, and human relevance.",
"42606611": "ID: 42606611\nTitle: The NO-cGMP signaling pathway and depression: mechanisms and therapeutic prospects.\nAbstract: Depression is a highly prevalent and serious mental disorder affecting populations worldwide. However, the traditional monoamine hypothesis does not fully account for its pathogenesis. In recent years, considerable attention has been directed toward the role of the NO-cGMP signaling pathway in the pathophysiology and treatment of depression.Nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous neurotransmitter, activates soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), thereby increasing the level of the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). In turn, this regulation modulates protein kinase G (PKG) and its downstream signaling cascades. This pathway has been implicated in synaptic plasticity, neurogenesis, and inflammatory responses.Substantial evidence indicates that abnormalities in the NO-cGMP pathway-observed both in patients with depression and in animal models-manifest as elevated NO levels, decreased cGMP content, and altered activities of related enzymes. These changes are thought to interact with multiple other signaling systems to jointly contribute to depressive pathophysiology.A variety of antidepressant drugs and natural products (e.g., vitamin C, pyridoxine, curcumin) have been shown to exert antidepressant effects through modulation of this pathway. Therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway-including NO donors, sGC activators, and phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors-exhibit therapeutic potential.The present review comprehensively summarizes the molecular mechanisms of the NO-cGMP signaling pathway, its role in the pathogenesis of depression, and targeted treatment strategies, with the aim of providing a theoretical foundation for the development of novel antidepressants.",
"42609181": "ID: 42609181\nTitle: Correlation of PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 Levels in Menstrual Blood with Dysmenorrhea Severity in Adenomyosis Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.\nAbstract: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by invasion of endometrial tissue into the myometrium, often presenting with severe dysmenorrhea. The pathophysiology involves neurogenesis and inflammation, with protein gene product 9.5 (PGP9.5) as a nerve fiber marker and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-\u03b21) as an inflammatory mediator. Menstrual blood represents an easily obtainable, non-invasive alternative to conventional tissue-based biomarker assessment. To analyze the association between PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 levels in menstrual blood with dysmenorrhea severity in adenomyosis patients, and to evaluate their diagnostic performance. This cross-sectional study included 72 women aged 20-45 years (36 with adenomyosis confirmed by histopathology and 36 controls) at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital and Bandung Kiwari Hospital, Indonesia, from September 2025 to January 2026. Menstrual blood samples were collected using menstrual cups on the second or third day of menstruation. PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 levels were measured using ELISA. Dysmenorrhea severity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Statistical analyses included Mann-Whitney test, Spearman correlation, and ROC curve analysis. PGP9.5 levels were significantly higher in adenomyosis patients compared to controls (median 335,77 vs 223,77 ng/L, p<0.001), as were TGF-\u03b21 levels (median 608,92 vs 379,43 ng/mL, p<0.001). VAS scores were also significantly higher in the adenomyosis group (median 9.00 vs 0.50, p<0.001). Significant positive correlations across the overall study population were observed between PGP9.5 and VAS (r = 0.562, p < 0.001), TGF-\u03b21 and VAS (r = 0.581, p < 0.001), and between PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 (r = 0.878, p < 0.001). ROC analysis demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance for PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 with AUC of 0.943 and 0.942, with optimal cut-offs of 260.43 ng/L for PGP9.5 and 482.95 ng/mL for TGF-\u03b21, yielding sensitivity and specificity of 91.7% for both markers. PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 levels in menstrual blood are significantly elevated in adenomyosis patients and positively correlate with dysmenorrhea severity. These findings provide proof of concept that menstrual blood PGP9.5 and TGF-\u03b21 may serve as non-invasive biomarkers for adenomyosis.",
"42609459": "ID: 42609459\nTitle: A single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the periventricular proliferative zone in the late gestation fetal brain in the pigtail macaque.\nAbstract: The fetal brain undergoes rapid cellular and structural changes in late gestation, when waves of neurogenesis and gliogenesis shape cortical circuitry. The ventricular zone (VZ), subventricular zone (SVZ), periventricular white matter (PVWM), and deep white matter (DWM) are enriched in neuroprogenitor cells, newborn neurons, and interneurons, which are regions challenging to study in the third-trimester human fetal brain. The nonhuman primate (NHP) provides a powerful translational model to overcome this limitation, given its close similarity to human neurodevelopmental trajectories. The study objective was to construct a single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) atlas of the late-gestation fetal brain of the pigtail macaque (Macaca nemestrina), focusing on cells in the periventricular proliferative zone. A sample of the lateral ventricular wall, subventricular zone, and overlying white/gray matter was dissociated into single cells and processed through 10X Genomics sequencing, SoupX removal of ambient RNA, empty droplet removal, doublet exclusion, and Seurat's pipeline which consists of aggregation, unsupervised clustering, and cluster annotation to create a single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) atlas. We also investigated developmental trajectories using scVelo and CellRank2. This analysis captured diverse populations of neuroprogenitors, newborn neurons, developing lineages of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, epithelial and vascular cells. Single-cell populations from the third-trimester nonhuman primate fetal brain are highly similar to those in the human fetus at the level of major lineages. This late-gestation single-cell atlas of the periventricular proliferative zone provides a unique reference for progenitor, neuronal, glial, vascular, and immune cell states during a critical window of primate neurodevelopment, enabling mechanistic interrogation of how inflammatory, infectious, or hypoxic insults disrupt vulnerable neurogenic niches.",

MS affects approximately 2.8-3\u00a0million people, predominantly presenting as relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) that frequently converts to secondary progressive disease, while effective options for progressive phenotypes remain limited. This review reframes MS immunotherapy through a tolerance-centric paradigm, distinguishing continuous maintenance disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) from immune reconstitution therapies (IRTs) and emerging antigen-specific tolerance strategies. Classical immune reconstitution therapies, including alemtuzumab, cladribine, and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT), have demonstrated durable disease control and prolonged periods of no evidence of disease activity (NEDA) in appropriately selected patients. This is accomplished through a finite course of lymphocyte depletion followed by qualitative immune repopulation that favors tolerogenic regulatory T (Treg) and regulatory B (Breg) cells over pathogenic Th1/Th17 clones. In contrast, maintenance DMTs (interferons, sphingosine-1-phosphate modulators, anti-CD20 monoclonals, natalizumab) suppress inflammation activity during continuous administration but lack durable immune reset. Building on IRT principles, next-generation cell-based therapies (tolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs), autologous Tregs, and mesenchymal stromal cells/extracellular vesicles (MSCs/EVs)), aim to induce precision, antigen-specific tolerance while minimizing systemic immunosuppression. These approaches hold promise for overcoming the limitations of chronic immunosuppression, providing durable disease control, and improving long-term patient outcomes. Collectively, immune reconstitution and tolerance-inducing therapies represent an emerging shift from lifelong disease control toward durable immune resetting and the possibility of sustained drug-free remission in MS.",

The sensing platform was fabricated by modifying a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with a ternary nanocomposite comprising a metal-organic framework (MOF), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) conductive polymer, and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), followed by immobilization of a CD63 aptamer for selective EV recognition. Comprehensive characterization using FESEM, EDX, TEM, FT-IR, XRD, and XPS analyses confirmed the morphological, structural, and chemical properties of the nanocomposite. The synergistic integration of the high surface area and abundant binding sites of the MOF, the mixed ionic-electronic conductivity of PEDOT: PSS, and the excellent bioconjugation capability of AuNPs enhanced the electrochemical sensing performance. Under optimized conditions, the biosensor achieved an ultralow limit of detection of 3.2 particles/\u00b5L, outperforming recently reported EV biosensors, with recovery rates ranging from 87 to 100% in serum samples. Importantly, the high sensitivity of the biosensor enables reliable detection of low-abundance tumor-derived EVs in complex biological matrices (as low as ~\u200910 particles/\u00b5L) while also demonstrating good reproducibility, selectivity, and storage stability. Furthermore, the platform successfully differentiated EV profiles between healthy individuals and cancer patients, highlighting its promising potential for clinical translation as a rapid and minimally invasive cancer screening tool.",

This review provides a mechanistically coupled and clinically focused synthesis of three interacting elements: stem/progenitor cells, biomaterials, and bioactive signals. Dental and non-dental cell sources are compared with emphasis on their angiogenic, neurogenic, odontogenic, and immunomodulatory characteristics and on the donor- and culture-dependent variability that affects product potency. Rather than presenting scaffolds only by material class, the review offers a structured critical correlation of stiffness, viscoelasticity, porosity, degradation, and bioactivity with cell fate, extracellular matrix organization, vascularization, and the risk of ectopic mineralization. Regulated growth-factor presentation, peptide-based signals, gene-activated constructs, extracellular vesicles, immune-instructive materials, and mechanobiological approaches are evaluated according to the highest experimental model in which they have been demonstrated. A stratified research framework is proposed to examine how age, inflammatory phenotype, systemic disease, apical anatomy, and regional heterogeneity of the pulp microenvironment may influence regenerative responses. The supporting evidence remains predominantly in vitro or preclinical. Cell-free regenerative endodontic procedures are clinically accepted for selected immature necrotic teeth with open apices, but available human histology most often demonstrates repair rather than recreation of a native pulp-dentin complex. Human cell transplantation studies remain small and early-phase, and advanced gene-, vesicle-, biofabrication-, and computational strategies have not yet demonstrated clinical efficacy. The framework is therefore presented as an evidence-graded research roadmap rather than a description of established personalized therapy.",

HS is characterized by neuronal loss in selected hippocampal subfields and gliosis. Age at epilepsy onset (AEO) critically influences disease severity and treatment response. We compared early AEO (<10\u2009years) and late AEO (>11\u2009years) in hippocampi from patients undergoing surgery for HS (n\u2009=\u200930). HS hippocampi showed altered mitochondrial enzyme activities and membrane potential (vs controls). Early AEO showed reduced membrane potential and ATP and increased proton leak, whereas other activities did not differ significantly between early and late AEO. Altered proteomic profile of mitochondrial complexes, organization, and metabolic pathways was noted in early AEO. Astrocytic proteomics revealed altered markers of blood-brain barrier (BBB), apoptosis, and excitotoxicity in early AEO. Overexpression of aquaporins, BBB junction proteins, and ion channels suggests compensatory mechanisms in late AEO. Proteomics of hippocampal subfields revealed increased expression of antioxidant and synaptic proteins in dentate gyrus in late AEO, indicating neuroprotective mechanisms, whereas CA1 showed downregulation of glutamate receptors and mitochondrial proteins, consistent with neuronal death. Based on these results, we propose that early AEO-HS is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, whereas non-mitochondrial factors are associated with late AEO-HS.",

Animal models are often limited by human-specific aspects of CNS biology, whereas two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures cannot recapitulate the complex three-dimensional (3D) cellular interactions that occur during viral infection of the brain. Over the past decade, brain organoids derived from human stem cells have emerged as physiologically relevant models that address these limitations. These 3D cultures self-assemble into structures containing neurons, astrocytes, and progenitor cells arranged in patterns that resemble early brain development. This review examines the application of brain organoids to the study of infections caused by Zika virus (ZIKV), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), herpes simplex virus (HSV), and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Studies were screened from PubMed and shortlisted based on their relevance to organoid-based CNS infection modeling, antiviral drug screening, CNS-targeted drug delivery, and neuroinflammation. Organoid-based antiviral screening has identified promising compounds from libraries containing more than 1,000 candidates. Drug delivery strategies are also discussed, with particular emphasis on nanoparticles, polymer-based carriers, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) evaluated in organoid and spheroid models for their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and deliver therapeutic cargo to neural cells. The roles of damage-associated and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs and PAMPs) in neuroinflammation, complement evasion, and chronic post-infection damage, including long COVID, are also examined. Current limitations, including the lack of functional vasculature, incomplete BBB components, and reproducibility challenges, are discussed. Despite these limitations, CNS organoids bridge the gap between basic research and clinical application, advancing the development of effective therapies for viral infections of the brain.",
"42611932": "ID: 42611932\nTitle: Evaluation of extracellular microRNAs as potential biomarker candidates for assessing chlamydia reinfection risk.\nAbstract: Chlamydia trachomatis infection remains prevalent, with high rates of reinfection. Most infections are asymptomatic, and without treatment, women are at risk for reproductive and perinatal complications that are exacerbated with repeat infections. Currently, no C. trachomatis vaccine is available nor are there clinical biomarkers to predict reinfection risk. Small, non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarker candidates because of their easy isolation, high stability, and role as molecular messengers. MiRNAs can be intracellular and/or extracellular, with the latter being released from cells and either packaged into extracellular vesicles (EVs) or freely circulating in association with proteins. We identified miRNAs from serum EVs and whole serum collected from 42 women (53 samples) and 35 women (49 samples), respectively. Sera were collected at a baseline treatment visit and a 3-month follow-up visit, where women were determined to be reinfected or not reinfected by nucleic acid amplification test. MiRNA profiles were evaluated using Bruker nCounter microarrays, data were positive ligation normalized, miRNAs were categorized as detected or not detected, nominal significance was calculated using Fisher's exact test, and predicted target mRNAs were assessed with Qiagen's Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA). Detection of EV-derived miR-888-5p at baseline was associated with reinfection at the follow-up visit. For whole serum, detection of miR-1285-5p, -548aa\u2009+\u2009548t-3p, and -575 at baseline were associated with absence of reinfection at follow-up. MiRs-888-5p and -548aa aligned with varying degrees to mRNA targets associated with CD8+ and CD4\u2009+\u2009T-cell functions, with miR-888-5p demonstrating strong CD8\u2009+\u2009T-cell associations while miR-548aa was largely associated with CD4\u2009+\u2009T-cell responses. Distinct EV and whole serum miRNAs were identified as potential biomarker candidates that are associated with reinfection risk. Our findings are preliminary, and future work includes validation studies to confirm whether these miRNAs can predict C. trachomatis reinfection risk.",
"42612071": "ID: 42612071\nTitle: lncRNAs and miRNAs in Exosome-Mediated Macrophage Polarization: Implications for Age-Related Macular Degeneration.\nAbstract: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive and multifactorial retinal disease that represents a leading cause of irreversible vision loss among the elderly. Increasing evidence suggests that exosomes, small extracellular vesicles that mediate intercellular communication, play a critical role in regulating immune and angiogenic signaling in the retina. These vesicles transport diverse molecular cargo, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Recent studies highlight the importance of exosome-mediated ncRNA signaling in macrophage polarization, a key immunological process involved in AMD progression. Exosomal miRNAs and lncRNAs released from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, endothelial cells, and immune cells can regulate macrophage phenotypes and alter inflammatory and angiogenic pathways within the retina. Dysregulated ncRNAs, including miR-21, miR-23a, miR-150, and the lncRNA NEAT1, have been implicated in promoting macrophage-driven inflammation, lipid dysregulation, and pathological neovascularization. Through these mechanisms, exosomal ncRNAs contribute to the transition from early retinal stress and drusen formation to advanced forms of AMD characterized by geographic atrophy or choroidal neovascularization. In addition to their mechanistic role in disease progression, exosomal ncRNAs show promise as minimally invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring of AMD. Their stability in biological fluids, such as plasma, aqueous humor, and vitreous fluid, suggests their potential use in liquid biopsy approaches. Moreover, engineered exosomes carrying therapeutic ncRNAs represent a promising strategy for modulating macrophage polarization and restoring retinal immune homeostasis. This review integrates current knowledge on the exosome-ncRNA-macrophage axis in AMD, highlighting its role in retinal immune regulation, disease progression, and therapeutic development. Understanding this emerging signaling network may provide new opportunities to develop precision diagnostic tools and targeted therapies to prevent or slow retinal degeneration in AMD.",

We investigated whether native Lp(a) carries an apolipoprotein E (APOE)-associated TG signature, whether it is remodeled postprandially, and whether Lp(a)-associated TG species are linked to cardiovascular risk. Plasma Lp(a) was immunocaptured under native conditions and analyzed by proteomics in patients with high Lp(a) (n\u202f=\u202f15) and lipidomics in healthy volunteers (n\u202f=\u202f9). Lp(a) produced in HepG2 cells was characterized using immunoprecipitation, density gradient ultracentrifugation, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibition, and fatty acid loading. Matched fasting and postprandial samples assessed Lp(a) lipidome remodeling (n\u202f=\u202f6). The relationship between Lp(a)-associated TGs and cardiovascular risk was examined in the community-based Bruneck Study (n\u202f=\u202f623). Direct plasma Lp(a) immunocapture showed APOE enrichment, confirmed by proteomics, immunoblotting, reverse APOE immunocapture, and size-exclusion chromatography followed by Lp(a) immunoprecipitation. In vitro, HepG2 cells secreted APOE-containing Lp(a) that was more buoyant than apolipoprotein B (APOB)-only particles and less affected by lomitapide or fatty acid loading. The Lp(a) lipidome was more stable postprandially than plasma lipids. Plasma Lp(a) depletion reduced 35 lipid species, predominantly TGs, including TG(52:3) and TG(52:4), previously linked to incident cardiovascular disease. TG reduction following Lp(a) depletion correlated with attenuation of cardiovascular risk after Lp(a) adjustment in the Bruneck Study, supporting a clinically relevant TG signature of native Lp(a). Native plasma Lp(a) carries a defined TG signature that is relatively stable postprandially and linked to incident cardiovascular disease.",

Among commensal microbes, Bifidobacterium species are prominent modulators of mucosal and systemic immunity through strain-specific metabolic, structural, and receptor-mediated mechanisms. This narrative review synthesizes mechanistic, preclinical, and clinical evidence on how Bifidobacterium influences immune regulation, epithelial barrier integrity, and inflammation, emphasizing strain specificity and host context. Bifidobacterium exerts immunomodulatory effects through acetate production, exopolysaccharides, tryptophan-derived indoles, and extracellular vesicles, which regulate dendritic cells, macrophage polarization, secretory IgA, tight junction integrity, and Treg/Th17 balance. These effects are highly strain-dependent and are influenced by diet, obesity, host genetics, and disease state. Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests potential benefits in antibiotic-associated dysbiosis, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer therapy response, early life immune maturation, and selected metabolic and neuroimmune disorders, although the outcomes remain heterogeneous. Bifidobacterium should be viewed as a diverse group of immunomodulatory microbes rather than a uniform probiotic genus. Its therapeutic potential depends on the strain selection, host context, and ecological interactions within the gut microbiome. Precision and strain-resolved approaches supported by multi-omics and clinical validation are required to translate these perspectives into routine practice.",

To address this, we designed a molybdenum (Mo) - based heterojunction electron reservoir (MOSF nanocrystals), enabling rapid Mo6+/Mo4+ cycling, and introduced Fe as a mediator to shuttle electrons into bacteria through surface Fe3+/Fe2+ redox. Upon contact with bacteria, MOSF nanocrystals (NCs) have the potential to block the coenzyme Q (CoQ)-mediated electron transport chain (ETC), causing energy depletion and bacterial death. This study also pioneers the development of a real-time fluorescent detection system to monitor electronic interference with bacterial ETC. This system can track how electrons in MOSF NCs inhibit bacterial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) replication, which is attributed to the inhibition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. By integrating transcriptomic and biochemical analysis techniques, we deduced at the atomic level that the antibacterial effect likely stems from the disruption of CoQ on the bacterial cell membrane, which in turn blocks the bacterial ETC. This study proposes an effective antibacterial nanoenzyme and a novel detection system, and provides an in-depth exploration of electron interference at the molecular level, advancing the development of bioenergetic therapeutics.",

Their clinical and genetic heterogeneity highlight their diagnostic complexity. A 55-year-old male patient with Kallmann syndrome, retinitis pigmentosa and congenital sensorineural hearing loss presented with a one-year history of generalized weakness and imbalance. Examination revealed generalized muscle atrophy, hyporeflexia, and mild tetraparesis. Following an electromyography suggestive of proximal myopathy, muscle biopsy was consistent with mitochondrial myopathy. Mitochondrial respiratory chain analysis demonstrated increased activity of complex II and residual increases in complex I and cytochrome C. Full mitochondrial DNA sequencing identified a heteroplasmic MT-TS2 variant (m.12257G>A), with 15% heteroplasmy in blood and nearly 100% in muscle tissue. This variant was classified as likely pathogenic. This case illustrates a new potentially pathogenic variant in the MT-TS2 gene. Comprehensive analysis of mitochondrial DNA is essential to establish a definitive diagnosis.",

However, its role in cardiomyocyte physiological and stress response remains unclear. Here, we investigated the function of TMEM175 in mitochondrial homeostasis using H9c2 cardiomyocytes and neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) under physiological conditions and during hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress. Under physiological conditions, genetic knockout of TMEM175 impaired mitochondrial respiration, reduced mitochondrial superoxide, and attenuated autophagic clearance. In contrast, under H2O2-induced stress, TMEM175 deletion significantly alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death, despite autophagic flux being primarily stalled at the degradation stage. Mechanistically, TMEM175 deficiency activated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and silencing AMPK reversed the cytoprotective effects of TMEM175 deletion against H2O2 injury. Pharmacological inhibition of TMEM175 with 2-phenylpyridin-4-ylamine (2-PPA) in H9c2 and NRVMs recapitulated key phenotypes observed in genetic knockout models. Furthermore, 2-PPA improved cardiac function and attenuated histopathological injury in myocardial infarction mice. Together, these findings reveal a dual role for TMEM175: it maintains lysosomal-mitochondrial communication under basal conditions, yet its inhibition protects against oxidative stress primarily through AMPK activation. This study identifies TMEM175 as a novel lysosomal regulator of cardiac mitochondrial resilience and highlights its potential role in the cellular response to oxidative injury in cardiomyocytes.",
"42612879": "ID: 42612879\nTitle: DNMT1-mediated CRNDE hypermethylation aggravates abdominal aortic aneurysm by promoting ferroptosis through the CRNDE-FUS-apelin axis.\nAbstract: This study aimed to investigate the role and molecular mechanism of Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) colorectal neoplasia differentially expressed (CRNDE) in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced ferroptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells and the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). An in vitro AAA model was established by stimulating human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HAVSMCs) with Ang II, and an in vivo AAA model was generated by Ang II infusion in ApoE-/- mice. The results showed that Ang II significantly downregulated CRNDE expression. CRNDE overexpression inhibited ferroptosis, improved cell viability, and reduced apoptosis. Mechanistic studies revealed that Ang II suppressed CRNDE expression through DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1)-mediated promoter hypermethylation. CRNDE directly bound to fused in sarcoma (FUS) protein via the GGUG motif within its 61-120 nt region, forming a CRNDE-FUS-apelin promoter ternary complex that upregulated apelin expression by enhancing promoter activity at the transcriptional level and increasing mRNA stability at the post-transcriptional level. Functional rescue experiments confirmed that CRNDE upregulated apelin in a FUS-dependent manner to inhibit ferroptosis. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that CRNDE overexpression significantly suppressed Ang II-induced AAA formation. In conclusion, CRNDE inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell ferroptosis and AAA progression through the formation of the CRNDE-FUS-apelin axis, and targeting this signaling axis may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for AAA.",

Early developmental exposure to TPP has been shown to cause significant neurobehavioral alterations that persist into adulthood. Questions remain concerning the neurobehavioral effects of developmental TPP exposure across the full lifespan and relevant mechanisms of long-term dysfunction. Using a zebrafish model, the current study examined the effects of TPP exposure during the first five days after fertilization on later life sensorimotor activity, emotional function, social response and mitochondrial energetics, specifically in late adulthood. Early developmental TPP exposure was found to cause locomotor hypoactivity in larvae. In the novel tank test TPP-induced hyperactivity was seen at 2.5\u202fmonths and hypoactivity at 14\u202fmonths. Correspondingly, the diving response only showed a subtle effect in this test, with TPP exposed 14-month old fish showing time dependent enhancements of the diving response. In the predator avoidance test, 8-month old fish showed greater avoidance of slow predator cues after developmental TPP exposure, but these fish no longer showed this pattern when tested at 14\u202fmonths old. No significant effects of developmental TPP exposure were seen with tap startle response or shoaling behavior. TPP-induced decreased mitochondrial respiration was detected in the ovaries, but none of the other organs tested. This longitudinal study shows that early developmental TPP exposure is capable to producing neurobehavioral effects, but that those effects may be differentially expressed across development. These effects were not associated with mitochondrial and bioenergetic effects in the brain in late adulthood.",
"42612969": "ID: 42612969\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for diabetes: clinical evidence, emerging strategies, and future perspectives.\nAbstract: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multifactorial metabolic disorder in which chronic hyperglycemia arises alongside adipose-tissue dysfunction, ectopic lipid accumulation, endothelial injury, and progressive multiorgan damage. These processes form an interconnected network, and because lowering glucose or blocking any single pathway leaves the other nodes active, the disease continues to advance even when glycemic targets are met. Therapies that act on several nodes at once are therefore conceptually attractive. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy fits this requirement, engaging the immune, vascular, and metabolic arms of the disease at the same time through a shared paracrine program. Here, we analyze 107 registered interventional trials, drawn from 124 screened records, that evaluate MSC-based therapies across type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and a range of diabetic complications. Autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMMSCs) and adipose-derived MSCs (AdMSCs) featured in the earliest trials, and registration has since shifted toward standardized allogeneic umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UCMSCs) and cell-free derivatives. The strongest and most consistent benefits appear in ischemic and wound-healing complications, particularly diabetic foot ulcers, whereas metabolic outcomes remain variable. Together, current early-phase evidence supports MSC therapy as a safe and potentially disease-modifying adjunct, although larger randomized trials with harmonized endpoints are needed to confirm efficacy.",

In this study, we established an interleaved multinuclear 7\u00a0T MR spectroscopy protocol to track a glucose-related 1 H signal alongside 31 P measures of high-energy phosphate metabolism during a hyperglycemic clamp. Five healthy adults completed a morning, fasted infusion experiment consisting of baseline, ramp-up, and hyperglycemic stages over \u223c 120\u00a0min. Short-block, short-TE 1 H single-voxel spectroscopy (STEAM, TE\u00a0=\u00a011\u00a0ms; mean block duration 5 . 71 \u00b1 0 . 62 \u00a0min) was acquired in frontal cortex and quantified using the composite glucose + taurine (Glc + Tau) measure. 31 P was acquired with rapid 3D PETALUTE MRSI using an ultrashort echo time (UTE; TE\u00a0=\u00a065\u00a0 \u03bc s; 381\u00a0s per block), and high-energy phosphate ratios were derived from a posterior cortical region of interest. Across participants, 1 H Glc + Tau increased with blood glucose and showed significant elevations from baseline into hyperglycemia. In parallel, 31 P ratios exhibited smaller but significant glycemia-linked responses: both PCr/Pi and \u03b3 ATP/Pi increased with blood glucose and differed across glucose clamp stages. These findings show that 1 H and 31 P MRS(I) can be interleaved at 7\u00a0T to measure energy metabolism within a single session.",

Photobiomodulation (PBM) employs red or near-infrared (NIR) light (600-1300\u00a0nm) from lasers or LEDs to stimulate healing, protect tissue from dying, increase mitochondrial function, improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation. PBM can also act to reduce swelling, increase antioxidants, decrease inflammation, protect against apoptosis, and modulate microglial activation state. All these mechanisms of action strongly suggest that PBM delivered to the head should be beneficial in cases of both acute and chronic TBI. Many studies in small animal models of acute TBI have found positive effects on neurological function, learning and memory, and reduced inflammation and cell death in the brain. There is evidence that PBM can help the brain to repair itself by stimulating neurogenesis, upregulating BDNF synthesis, and encouraging synaptogenesis. Clinical studies have been conducted in patients suffering from acute TBI and the chronic effects of TBI. There have been reports of improvements in executive function, working memory, and improved sleep. Functional magnetic resonance imaging has shown modulation of the activation in intrinsic brain networks likely to be damaged in TBI (default mode network and salience network).",

This unusual position gives Complex II control over bioenergetics, redox state, succinate signaling, and chromatin regulation. In immune cells, Complex II regulates macrophage responses via the succinate-hypoxia-inducible factor-1\u03b1-IL-1\u03b2 axis, T-cell proliferation, lineage commitment, and cytotoxicity. In target tissues of an aberrant immune attack, such as the intestinal epithelium and stem-cell compartments, SDHA loss lowers tissue tolerance, promotes inflammatory memory through succinate-driven epigenetic reprogramming, and amplifies immune-mediated injury. In tumors, SDH loss increases antigen presentation and their susceptibility to T-cell killing. Complex II, therefore, regulates immunopathology through its actions within both attacking immune cells and injured target tissues.",

The mechanisms underlying lithium (non-)responsiveness are largely unknown. By using gene-set enrichment analysis methods, we found that core clock gene-sets are significantly associated with lithium response. Among the top hits was BHLHE41, a modulator of the molecular clock and homeostatic sleep. Since BHLHE41 and its paralog BHLHE40 are functionally redundant, we assessed chronic lithium response in double-knockout mutant mice (DKO). We demonstrated that DKOs are non-responsive to lithium's effect in various behavioral tasks. Cellular assays and patch clamp recordings revealed lowered excitability and reduced lithium-response in prefrontal cortical layer 2/3 DKO neurons and on hippocampal long-term potentiation. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified that lithium deregulated mitochondrial respiration, cation channel and postsynapse associated gene-sets specifically in upper layer excitatory neurons.

Here, we demonstrate that conformationally distinct tau polymorphs associate with disease-specific interaction networks across Alzheimer's disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Interactome profiling of tau aggregates from PBS- and sarkosyl-soluble brain fractions identified 493 high-confidence interactors exhibiting remarkable disease specificity. As an exploratory feature discovery machine learning classification discriminated against diseases using as few as four to six protein features. AD tau selectively engaged glycolytic enzymes, TCA cycle components, and glutamate/GABA cycling machinery, with the astrocytic transporter SLC1A2 showing 27-fold enrichment. PSP tau exhibited extensive interactor depletion alongside selective proteasome enrichment, whereas DLB tau associated with neurogenesis modulators while depleting neuroinflammatory mediators. Interaction patterns were corroborated by parallel reaction monitoring mass spectrometry and proximity ligation assays and corresponded to disease-specific post-translational modification profiles.

Among them, GD3 represents the predominant glycosphingolipid species in neural stem cells (NSCs), comprising over 80% of the total. On the other hand, the expression of GM1 is upregulated through a GM1-modulated epigenetic gene regulation mechanism involving GM2 synthase. GM1, in turn, influences the transcriptional activity of neuronal genes to maintain neuronal functions. To elucidate the functional roles of gangliosides, we introduce methods to isolate GD3 and GM1 and administer them into the mouse brain to investigate their functions on NSC fate determination and nerve cell specification.",

These conditions impose long-term health challenges on children, despite many advancements with conventional medicine. Although conventional treatments increase life expectancy and provide better disease control, many present challenges such as toxicity, insufficient control of the disease, and adverse effects on normal growth, development, and quality of life. Many researchers have shown increased interest in using stem cell therapies as an alternative to current medications to allow for complete, sustainable repair of damaged tissues and modification of disease processes (i.e., using stem cells to regenerate tissue or change the way in which a disease occurs). This paper will provide the current information on stem cells used in the treatment of children and the many different types of stem cells, including: hematopoietic stem cells (and their derivatives), mesenchymal stem cells (and their derivatives), induced pluripotent stem cells, embryonic stem cells, tissue-specific progenitor cells, extracellular vesicles, and bioengineered products. This paper will also discuss what is known about the stem cells listed as well as their methods of action, where they might currently be better utilized, and future uses of these cells in children for a variety of types of pediatric diseases. Because each stem cell type listed has very different scientific background and clinical evidence, there is much variability in the amount of scientific evidence available to support stem cell therapies. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has over 50 years of clinical experience; thus, there are many studies defining the clinical efficacy and long-term outcomes associated with HSCT. Conversely, while there are many published studies supporting the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), gene-edited cells, organoids, and many induced pluripotent stem cell-derived therapies, more evidence (clinical and basic science) is still needed to fully establish efficacy for the use of these various stem cells in children with pediatric diseases. In addition to needing more clinical evidence, stem cell-based therapies face many important challenges to the advancement of these therapies, including (but not limited to) long-term safety assessments, manufacturing standardization, regulatory oversight, ethical concerns, and equitable access to advanced therapies. Addressing these challenges will be important for future advances in the use of regenerative medicine in pediatric patients which will also require the rigorous evaluation of new stem cell therapies, the continued improvement of translational mechanisms, and the ongoing incorporation of new techniques (e.g., genome editing, organoid modeling, EV therapeutics, bioengineering, and artificial intelligence) to advance regenerative medicine and demonstrate its value through safe and reproducible clinical trial results.",

The complex pathophysiology of the diseases and the lack of effective treatments have left them almost unexplored and untreatable. One potential approach to PD and AD therapy development is through exosomes, a delivery system that can be translated from innovative delivery techniques into clinical use. These exosome-based therapeutics will require thorough testing, research-driven refinement of engineering methods, and collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and industry to develop exosome therapeutics for clinical use. This review explores the biological properties of exosomes, recent engineering advances to improve their therapeutic potential, and new methods to leverage their versatility for selective delivery of remedial agents to the brain. In addition, preclinical evidence demonstrates that exosomes can modulate amyloid-\u03b2 aggregation, \u03b1-synuclein pathology, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Yet difficulties related to mass production, maintaining quality, and obtaining regulatory approvals to bring them into clinical practice remain significant limiting factors. The authors point out the therapeutic advantages and drawbacks of exosome-based drug delivery systems. Besides, it provides a roadmap for harnessing these methods effectively as medical interventions for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disorders, thereby promoting more studies in the area. Finally, we outline a conceptual model for translating novel exosome-based delivery methods into clinically applicable treatment modalities for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, thereby encouraging continued exploration in this promising field of research.",

However, the lack of standardized purification methods and limited scalability remain critical bottlenecks for the practical application and industrial translation of LDEVs. In this study, we developed an electrophoretic oscillation-assisted tangential flow filtration (EPOTF) platform using a SiNx membrane nanofilter for the scalable and high-purity purification of structurally intact LDEVs. The EPOTF process effectively suppressed membrane cake formation and membrane fouling, enabling stable size-selective purification under large-volume conditions. EPOTF-purified LDEVs exhibited stable physicochemical characteristics, high recovery yield, and excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility. Cryo-TEM analysis confirmed preservation of a distinct lipid bilayer structure and near-ideal spherical morphology with low spherical deviation, indicating minimal structural damage during purification. Furthermore, EPOTF-purified LDEVs significantly enhanced hydration, antioxidant activity, skin barrier recovery, and anti-inflammatory responses in an ex vivo human skin explant model. Taken together, these findings establish EPOTF as a robust and scalable purification platform for the biomanufacturing of high-quality LDEVs, with strong potential for cosmetic and skin-engineering applications.",

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a key brain region regulating reward, motivation and affective behavior and is strongly implicated in stress-related disorders. This study aimed to characterize proteome-wide molecular adaptations in the female NAc following chronic social stress. We used a recently developed female chronic social defeat stress (femCSDS) paradigm and performed label-free quantitative proteomic profiling of the NAc. Differentially expressed proteins were analyzed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), STRING, Metascape, SynGO and transcription factor enrichment approaches to identify affected pathways, molecular networks and regulatory programs. Proteomic profiling identified 851 significantly dysregulated proteins, comprising 481 downregulated and 370 upregulated proteins, indicating extensive molecular remodeling following chronic social stress. Downregulated proteins were strongly enriched for mitochondrial respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, ATP synthesis, mitochondrial quality-control pathways and metabolic processes. Network analyses identified ATP synthase subunits, respiratory chain components and Cullin-family proteins as central hubs within a highly interconnected mitochondrial-proteostatic circuit. In contrast, upregulated proteins preferentially clustered within synaptogenesis, glutamatergic signaling, endocytosis, vesicle trafficking and synaptic organization pathways. Key hub proteins included SYNJ1, DNM1, BIN1, AP2M1, EPN2 and EPN3. Disease enrichment analyses linked the proteomic signature to neurological, neurodevelopmental and mitochondrial disorders. Transcription factor enrichment and upstream regulator predictions highlighted regulatory programs involving ARNT2, ESRRA, NFE2L2, PIN1, CAMTA1 and MYT1L. This study provides a comprehensive proteomic profile of the female NAc following female chronic social defeat stress (femCSDS). Our analysis indicates that femCSDS may induce widespread molecular remodeling in the female NAc characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced energetic capacity and altered metabolic regulation alongside enhanced synaptic remodeling. These results provide insight into female-specific stress adaptations and identify molecular pathways that may contribute to depression-related behavioral outcomes and represent potential targets for future investigation.",

The canonical Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling pathway has a central role in regulating central nervous system cell survival, vascular homeostasis, inflammatory balance, and neuroregeneration, making it a highly promising neuroprotective target for CIRI. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including herbal-derived active compounds, compound formulas, and acupuncture, has distinctive multitarget regulatory advantages that are well aligned with the complex pathological features of CIRI. Existing basic studies indicate that TCM interventions can activate this pathway by inhibiting GSK-3\u03b2 activity, stabilizing \u03b2-catenin, and promoting its nuclear translocation, thereby exerting multiple effects, including anti-apoptotic activity, blood-brain barrier (BBB) protection, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions, and promotion of neurogenesis and angiogenesis. This review systematically elucidates the molecular mechanisms by which Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signaling participates in CIRI-induced injury and repair, comprehensively summarizes the experimental evidence and action patterns of TCM interventions targeting this pathway for neuroprotection, and discusses the current limitations and future prospects for translating basic research into clinical application. This review aims to provide a solid theoretical basis for precision integrated Chinese-Western interventions in ischemic stroke and for the development of new neuroprotective agents.",

In the present study, we examined the effects of inactivating Il-15 on atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein (apo) E-deficient mice. As expected, Il-15 deficiency reduced circulating NK and CD8+ T cells in ApoE-/- mice. It also increased body weights in female but not male ApoE-/- mice and increased plasma total cholesterol levels in both. Despite this, the Il-15 knockout reduced spontaneous atherosclerotic plaque development in both male and female ApoE-/- mice (fed a normal diet) at 25\u00a0weeks of age, and in female normal diet-fed ApoE-/- mice at 15 weeks but not at 38 weeks of age. Furthermore, Il-15 knockout did not impact the levels of atherosclerosis in 25-week-old female ApoE-/- mice fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet for 15 weeks. However, the 6-week treatment with an antibody (M96) that blocks IL-15's interaction with the IL-2R\u03b2\u03b3c complex but does not interfere with its interaction with IL-15R\u03b1 reduced spontaneous atherosclerosis in female ApoE-/- mice. ApoE knockout mice in which IL-15 was inactivated or neutralized with an antibody exhibited reduced accumulation of CD11b+ and CD8+ cells within atherosclerotic plaques. These findings demonstrate that interfering with IL-15 signaling through the IL-2R\u03b2\u03b3c complex delays spontaneous atherosclerosis development in ApoE-deficient mice.",
"42614376": "ID: 42614376\nTitle: Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide and mitochondrial homeostasis in neuronal injury: mechanisms and translational prospects.\nAbstract: Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide (PACAP) is a pleiotropic neuropeptide widely distributed in the nervous system, exhibiting potent cytoprotective effects across a spectrum of neurological disorders. Its neuroprotection is largely mediated through three G protein-coupled receptors (PAC1, VPAC1, VPAC2), activating downstream pathways that converge on preserving mitochondrial integrity. Mitochondrial dysfunction, characterized by bioenergetic failure, oxidative stress, perturbed dynamics (such as fusion and fission), and impaired quality control, is a hallmark of traumatic nerve injury, cerebral ischemia, and retinal neuropathy. This review systematically synthesizes recent evidence elucidating how PACAP counteracts these pathological processes. We detail its mechanisms in 1) mitigating neuropathic pain and promoting axonal regeneration after peripheral nerve trauma; 2) attenuating excitotoxicity, apoptosis, and neuroinflammation following cerebral ischemia by regulating mitochondrial permeability, fission/fusion balance, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation; and 3) protecting retinal ganglion cells against diabetic retinopathy and glaucomatous damage via modulating oxidative stress and apoptotic signaling. Furthermore, we discuss the translational potential of PACAP, including its biomarker value in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma for injury prognosis, and the promise of innovative delivery routes to enhance brain bioavailability. By focusing on mitochondrial-centric mechanisms, this review underscores PACAP as a neuroprotective regulator and highlights its candidacy for developing next-generation neurotherapeutics.",

Retrograde menstruation is widely accepted as a primary mechanism for ectopic endometrial seeding; however, only a subset of individuals develop the disease. This suggests additional pathogenic processes. Increasing evidence suggests impaired immune surveillance as a central factor enabling ectopic endometrial tissue to persist and expand. This review aims to explore immune-associated pathogenic mechanisms in endometriosis, focusing on the interplay between natural killer (NK) cells, cytokines, and extracellular vesicles (EVs). This study was conducted as a narrative review. Relevant PubMed studies addressing immune dysfunction in endometriosis were identified, with emphasis on the role of NK cells, cytokines, EVs, and EV-mediated signaling. All material chosen for referral in the review consists of published reports that were critically evaluated and discussed. Endometriosis is associated with impaired immune surveillance, characterized by reduced NK-cell cytotoxicity, driven by altered receptor expression and a shift toward regulatory NK-cell subsets. A dysregulated cytokine milieu combines pro-inflammatory signals that promote lesion growth with immunosuppressive factors that inhibit immune clearance of ectopic tissue. Lesion-derived EVs further contribute the lesions' survival by suppressing cytotoxic immune function, inducing apoptosis of activated immune cells and promoting inflammation and angiogenesis. The referred results highlight key immunological mechanisms underlying endometriosis. This review presents an immune-based model in which NK-cell dysfunction, cytokine imbalance, and EV-mediated signaling cooperate to establish an immune-privileged microenvironment that promotes the survival and growth of ectopic endometrial tissue. The immune escape mechanism, described here, highlights potential targets as candidates to be tested for immunomodulatory therapies. We conclude that endometriosis should be considered a disorder fundamentally linked to mechanisms of immune dysregulation.",

Oxidized phosphatidylcholines (PC-OxPL) have emerged as potent inducers of proteinopathy in the central nervous system (CNS), but their role in ALS has not been systematically explored. We identify a distinct PC-OxPL signature in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with sporadic ALS (sALS) and show that apolipoprotein E (apoE)-containing particles are the primary PC-OxPL carriers in this compartment. In human iPSC-derived motor neurons, PC-OxPL exposure triggered disease-relevant transcriptional alterations and TDP-43 pathology, establishing PC-OxPL as a mediator of ALS-like neurodegeneration in vitro. To counteract this toxicity, we engineered an Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-delivered single-chain antibody fragment (scFv), PC-OxPL-VecTab, targeting PC-OxPL neoepitopes. PC-OxPL-VecTab neutralized PC-OxPL-induced neurotoxicity, reduced TDP-43 aggregation, and prevented motor neuron death and behavioral deficits in a sALS CSF transfer mouse model. Intrathecal delivery of PC-OxPL-VecTab in minipigs achieved broad CNS biodistribution and transgene expression, supporting the feasibility of CNS delivery. These findings position PC-OxPL as a mechanistic contributor to ALS pathogenesis and establish PC-OxPL-VecTab as a therapeutic strategy for ALS with potential broader applicability to disorders associated with PC-OxPL accumulation.",

An increasing body of literature indicates that integrative non-pharmacological interventions aimed at metabolic and neurochemical pathways may present promising adjunctive strategies for ameliorating depressive manifestations and concomitant cognitive impairments. This review explores the prospective combined effects of creatine supplementation, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and physical exercise as a multimodal bioenergetic intervention for the management of depression. Creatine is pivotal in maintaining neuronal energy equilibrium via the phosphocreatine system, thereby facilitating mitochondrial functionality and adenosine triphosphate availability within neural cells. BCAAs may influence central fatigue and exercise performance through competitive inhibition of tryptophan transport across the blood-brain barrier. Importantly, this mechanism primarily reflects acute exercise-related serotonergic responses associated with central fatigue and should not be considered mechanistically equivalent to the chronic serotonergic dysfunction observed in major depressive disorder. Accordingly, within the context of depression, BCAAs are discussed as indirect modulators of mental health outcomes through their effects on fatigue perception, exercise tolerance, and adherence to physical activity, rather than as direct serotonergic antidepressant interventions. Concurrently, consistent engagement in physical exercise activates critical neuroplasticity-associated signaling pathways, which are instrumental in promoting hippocampal neurogenesis and enhancing stress resilience. Emerging empirical evidence derived from both experimental and clinical investigations suggests that the combined application of these interventions may exert complementary influences on brain bioenergetics, neuroplasticity, exercise capacity, and cognitive function. Collectively, this integrative paradigm highlights the potential of creatine supplementation, BCAAs, and physical exercise to support depression-related outcomes through distinct yet complementary mechanisms involving bioenergetic regulation, enhanced exercise capacity, neuroplastic adaptations, and improved cognitive and emotional functioning.",

Emerging evidence indicates that neural inputs shape tumour behaviour through both direct and indirect mechanisms. Neurotransmitters, neuropeptides and neurotrophic factors act on tumour cells, stromal cells, endothelial cells and immune cells to regulate proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, metabolic reprogramming and immune evasion. In parallel, the TME feeds back to the nervous system through inflammatory mediators, extracellular vesicles, axon guidance molecules and metabolic signals, thereby driving axonogenesis, tumour innervation, Schwann cell reprogramming, neuronal hyperexcitability and synaptic remodelling. These reciprocal interactions establish dynamic neuro-immune-metabolic feedback loops that sustain tumour progression and therapeutic resistance. Particularly in glioma and other highly innervated malignancies, activity-dependent neuron-tumour communication further highlights the functional integration between neural circuits and cancer. In this Review, we summarize the structural and molecular basis of neural components within the TME, discuss neurotransmitter receptor-mediated signalling and indirect regulation of immune, vascular, stromal and metabolic niches, and outline how tumour-derived signals remodel peripheral and central neural systems. We further highlight emerging therapeutic opportunities targeting \u03b2-adrenergic signalling, neurotrophin pathways, extracellular vesicle-mediated tumour innervation, Schwann cell-associated perineural invasion circuits, and neuron-tumour synaptic coupling. Finally, we discuss current translational challenges, including tumour-type heterogeneity, context-dependent neural effects, evidence-level heterogeneity and the need for spatially resolved biomarkers, and propose that incorporating the neural dimension into future mechanism-guided studies may inform biomarker-stratified trials and symptom-oriented interventions, with the long-term goal of improving both tumour control and neurological outcomes.",

In teleost fish, however, detailed morphological and cellular analyses of the adult spinal cord remain scarce. Here, we provide the first comprehensive characterization of the adult spinal cord of the annual fish Garcialebias charrua, a species displaying pronounced environmental adaptation and sexual dimorphism. Using adult males and females, the spinal cord was systematically partitioned into five equally sized rostrocaudal regions (SI-SV) to evaluate regional variation in morphology, neurochemical organization, and cell proliferation. We analyzed gross morphology and cross-sectional features, the distribution and morphology of NADPH-diaphorase-positive (NADP-d+) neurons as indicators of nitric oxide-related signaling, and proliferative activity using 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation. Our results reveal marked rostrocaudal heterogeneity in spinal cord morphometry, with dimorphic variation in the segment SIII associated with the dorsal fin, region-specific patterns of NADPH-d+ neuronal populations, and sustained cell proliferation throughout the entire spinal cord in both gray and white matter. Focused analysis of segment SIII, which exhibits distinctive anatomical features, demonstrated higher proliferative activity in the central canal and dorsal regions compared to ventral areas in both sexes, with males showing significantly increased proliferation across all analyzed regions. Finally, the combination of BrdU labeling with a neuronal lineage marker provides the first evidence of adult spinal cord neurogenesis in G. charrua. These findings highlight the spinal cord as a dynamic and sexually dimorphic substrate underlying neuroplasticity in annual fishes.",

However, the efficient, safe, and controllable engineering of CAR-M still depends on advanced chemical delivery systems. This review systematically summarizes five major platforms for CAR-M engineering, including viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), exosomes/extracellular vesicles, polymeric nanocarriers, and biomaterial scaffolds. Particular emphasis is placed on LNPs\u00a0optimization strategies, including ionizable lipid design, surface modification, and regulation of physicochemical properties.

Here, we identified a duration-dependent transition in mitochondrial responses under the present exposure conditions. Female Wistar rats were exposed to PM2.5 (250\u2009\u03bcg/m3, 3\u2009h/day) for 1, 7, 14, or 21\u2009days, followed by integrated evaluation of cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics, redox balance, quality control pathways, and ex\u00a0vivo cardiac function, with washout validation. Short-term exposure (1-7\u2009days) elicited transient mitochondrial oxidative stress and activation of adaptive quality control responses without impairing respiratory efficiency, electron transport chain activity, ATP production, or cardiac performance; these changes returned to values comparable to controls after a 24-h pollutant-free washout under the present experimental conditions. Under the exposure conditions employed, sustained mitochondrial dysfunction first became evident after 14\u2009days of repeated exposure, characterized by coordinated suppression of mitochondrial respiration, ETC complex activities, and ATP synthesis, accompanied by mitochondrial DNA depletion, impaired biogenesis and quality control signaling, sustained oxidative stress, and intramitochondrial metal accumulation. Notably, mitochondrial and cardiac functional deficits induced after \u2265\u200914\u2009days persisted despite washout, indicating that these deficits were not restored within the 24-h recovery period examined, rather than reflecting delayed recovery within this window. Collectively, these findings define a duration-dependent temporal toxicity progression at which repeated PM2.5 exposure shifts cardiac mitochondria from transient, recoverable stress responses to persistent bioenergetic impairment under the present experimental conditions providing a mechanistic basis for exposure-duration-informed cardiovascular hazard characterization.",

Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms underlying this response remain largely unknown. Here, we investigate ontogenetic, injury-, and regeneration-associated proteomic changes to the forebrain of subadult leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius), focusing on an area of the cerebral hemispheres that includes the medial and dorsomedial cortices, septum, and neighboring tissues. Among control (untreated) geckos, the proteome of the forebrain changes during a one-month period, providing evidence of an ontogenetically driven proteomic shift. To initiate reactive neurogenesis, we administered the neurotoxin 3-acetylpyridine (3-AP). Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we found that 3-AP induces differential expression of proteins associated with cell death, immune activation, and neurogenesis. However, by 30\u2009days post-injury, the proteomic profile of the forebrain was returning toward that of age-matched controls. Our findings demonstrate that structural regeneration of the gecko forebrain is associated with the differential expression of proteins involved in brain development and repair in mammals and provides a resource for future evolutionary studies of neurogenesis.",

Currently, no specific antitoxin therapies are available. In this study, we devised a glycoengineering strategy utilizing Functional-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) conjugates to create small extracellular vesicles (sEVs)-based decoy receptors for Shiga toxin type 1 (Stx1). sEVs isolated from human Caco-2 and HEK293T cells were functionalized with Gb3 trisaccharide (Gal\u03b11\u21924Gal\u03b21\u21924Glc)-containing FSL conjugates, yielding Gb3-decorated vesicles displaying the Gal\u03b11\u21924Gal epitope. Characterization of FSL-modified sEVs confirmed that FSL incorporation did not adversely affect sEV morphology, size distribution, or surface charge. Western blotting and bead-assisted flow cytometry verified the presence of exosomal markers (CD9 and CD63) and the Gb3 epitope on modified vesicles. Gb3-tagged sEVs from both cell types exhibited high specificity in binding Stx1B, while control vesicles carrying Galili epitope (Gal\u03b11\u21923Gal\u03b21\u21924GlcNAc), lacking Stx1B binding, demonstrated negligible binding. Gb3-expressing Caco-2 cell-based assays revealed that Gb3-decorated sEVs markedly reduced Stx1B binding to Caco-2 cells, indicating effective competition with cellular receptors. Furthermore, glycoengineered sEVs did not impair Caco-2 cell viability at concentrations sufficient for Stx1B sequestration. These findings establish FSL-mediated glycoengineering as a rapid and versatile approach for generating sEV-based decoy receptors that effectively bind Stx1B. Gb3-containing human sEVs may serve as an agent for neutralizing Stx1B and potentially other glycan-binding toxins, supporting the development of promising next-generation antitoxin therapeutics.",

This review provides a high-level synthesis of exosomal biogenesis and the nuanced roles these vesicles play in lung cancer. Specifically, we discuss how tumor-derived exosomes orchestrate remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, facilitate premetastatic niche formation, and drive immune evasion via the programmed death-1/programmed death-ligand 1 axis and recruitment of regulatory cells. A significant portion of this review is dedicated to exosomal noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs, emphasizing their stability as liquid biopsy substrates and their involvement in cross-resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors and immunotherapies. Furthermore, we evaluate the transition of exosomes from diagnostic candidates to therapeutic tools, including their utility as bio-inspired drug delivery systems and cancer vaccines. Finally, this narrative review critically examines the technical hurdles, ranging from standardized isolation methods to good manufacturing practice scalability that must be overcome to integrate exosome-based precision medicine into routine clinical management of patients with lung cancer.",

While immune dysregulation initiates disease pathology, the molecular mechanisms linking chronic inflammation to mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress remain incompletely understood. An integrative, multi-layered systems biology approach was applied to four independent RNA-sequencing datasets derived from MS white matter lesions, lesion-border microglia/macrophages, and Epstein-Barr virus-associated B cells. Differential gene expression analysis was combined with targeted prioritization of mitochondrial and oxidative stress-related genes using curated databases. Protein-protein interaction network construction, hub gene identification, Gene Ontology, and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were performed to identify prioritized mitochondrial genes and enriched biological pathways. Independent validation was conducted using CNS-specific TNMplot expression profiling, and prognostic relevance was assessed through immunogenomic survival analysis. Structural and functional impacts of prioritized variants were evaluated using in silico pathogenicity prediction, protein stability analysis, secondary structure modeling, and three-dimensional structural assessment, including MutPred2 and HOPE analyses. Transcriptomic integration revealed consistent dysregulation of gene expression profiles across all datasets. Functional enrichment analyses identified mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation as the most significantly enriched biological process, suggesting an association between altered mitochondrial respiratory pathways and MS-related molecular signatures. Network and enrichment analyses consistently prioritized UQCRC1 and COX4I1 as key mitochondrial hub genes, corresponding to core subunits of respiratory chain complexes III and IV, respectively. These genes were recurrently enriched across biological processes, cellular components, molecular functions, and neurodegeneration-related pathways. CNS-restricted validation confirmed their differential expression, while immunogenomic analysis demonstrated that higher expression levels were associated with improved overall survival. Variant-level analysis identified UQCRC1 (G235R, L197R) and COX4I1 (G155C, P152R) as deleterious substitutions predicted to destabilize protein structure, disrupt domain interactions, and impair electron transport efficiency. Functional predictions further indicated altered catalytic activity, metal binding, and structural integrity, supporting their potential functional relevance to mitochondrial biology. This study demonstrates that mitochondrial respiratory chain-related pathways, particularly those involving complexes III and IV, are consistently associated with the transcriptomic alterations observed in multiple sclerosis.

"42616180": "ID: 42616180\nTitle: Platelet-derived mitochondrial transfer in cancer metastasis: mechanisms, functional consequences, and translational opportunities.\nAbstract: Cancer metastasis is a multistep and highly inefficient process that depends on reciprocal interactions between tumor cells and the host microenvironment. Among the most important host contributors, platelets have emerged as active facilitators of metastatic dissemination, supporting the survival of circulating tumor cells, immune evasion, endothelial arrest, extravasation, and early colonization. More recently, platelet-derived mitochondrial transfer has been recognized as a novel mechanism by which platelets may enhance tumor aggressiveness through metabolic reprogramming. This review critically synthesizes the current literature on platelet-mediated mitochondrial transfer in cancer, with emphasis on its biological mechanisms, functional consequences, and translational implications. Emerging evidence in selected osteosarcoma and triple-negative breast cancer models indicates that activated platelets can donate functional mitochondria to cancer cells through direct contact and microparticle-mediated pathways, potentially increasing oxidative phosphorylation, ATP production, redox adaptability, proliferative capacity, and migratory behavior. Mechanistically, platelet mitochondrial transfer may involve pathways linked to mitochondrial quality control and trafficking, including PINK1/Parkin-MFN2 signaling, while also intersecting with broader platelet-tumor crosstalk that promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition, anoikis resistance, and immune escape. In parallel, platelet-derived mitochondrial cargo and related extracellular vesicle signatures may offer new opportunities for liquid biopsy-based biomarker development. However, major challenges remain, including the need for rigorous in vivo validation, discrimination of intact mitochondria from fragmented mitochondrial material, and clarification of context-dependent effects across tumor types. Collectively, platelet-derived mitochondrial transfer represents an emerging layer of intercellular communication that may link thrombosis, metabolism, and metastasis, and it offers promising avenues for both biomarker discovery and therapeutic intervention.",
"42616196": "ID: 42616196\nTitle: Voluntary Exercise and Hippocampal Memory Enhancement: Decoding the Molecular Blueprint.\nAbstract: In the face of rising global rates of age-related cognitive decline, identifying accessible, non-pharmacological interventions is a critical public health priority. This narrative review synthesizes contemporary evidence to elucidate the molecular and systemic mechanisms by which voluntary exercise enhances hippocampal-dependent memory. We detail how physical activity initiates a coordinated cascade, beginning with the release of systemic factors like FNDC5/irisin, lactate, and IGF-1. These signals converge to robustly upregulate hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its TrkB receptor, activating a master regulatory network that promotes neuronal survival, synaptogenesis, and adult neurogenesis. Furthermore, exercise induces a protective hippocampal milieu characterized by reduced neuroinflammation, enhanced antioxidant defenses, optimized monoaminergic neurotransmission, and improved glymphatic clearance of metabolic waste. Translational human evidence confirms these mechanisms, demonstrating that regular aerobic exercise increases hippocampal volume, strengthens functional connectivity, and elevates serum BDNF, correlating with measurable improvements in episodic and spatial memory across populations from healthy older adults to those with mild cognitive impairment. The review concludes by bridging this mechanistic insight to therapeutic applications, discussing optimal exercise prescriptions, the synergy of exercise with pharmacological and other lifestyle interventions, and the future potential of \"exercise mimetics.\" Ultimately, this synthesis posits voluntary exercise as a potent, plasticity-enhancing therapy whose decoded molecular blueprint provides a scientific foundation for strategies aimed at preserving cognitive resilience throughout the lifespan.",
"42616435": "ID: 42616435\nTitle: Design, Synthesis, and Antifungal Activity of Novel Oxadiazole-Pyrazole-Triazole Derivatives: Insights into Cellular Disruption Revealed by Integrated Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analyses.\nAbstract: Resistance to single-target fungicides necessitates structurally innovative antifungal agents with broadened modes of action. Herein, a series of pyrazole-oxadiazole-linked 1,2,4-triazole derivatives (L1-L39) were designed and synthesized via molecular hybridization. Compound L22 exhibited exceptional activity against Magnaporthe grisea (EC50 = 5.96 \u03bcg/mL), outperforming the commercial fungicide isoprothiolane, and potently inhibited Botrytis cinerea and Verticillium dahliae. In vivo assays confirmed its excellent protective and curative efficacies against rice blast. Mechanistic investigations revealed that L22 induces severe cellular disruption, characterized by compromised membrane integrity, cell wall deformation, and broad dysregulation of sterol/lipid metabolism, carbohydrate utilization, mitochondrial respiration, and stress-response pathways. Furthermore, L22 displayed no detectable phytotoxicity toward rice seedlings at effective concentrations. These findings establish pyrazole-oxadiazole-triazole derivatives as potent, safe, and mechanistically distinct antifungal leads, warranting further development for agricultural disease management.",
"42616755": "ID: 42616755\nTitle: When muscles matter in SORD neuropathy.\nAbstract: Biallelic pathogenic variants in SORD (Sorbitoldehydrongenase gene), encoding sorbitol dehydrogenase, are a common cause of autosomal recessive axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (CMT2). Recent evidence suggests direct involvement of skeletal muscle in addition to peripheral nerve degeneration. We investigated muscle biopsies from 4 genetically confirmed CMT-SORD patients using an integrative approach. Histological evaluation revealed features of chronic denervation with grouped fiber atrophy, fiber-type grouping and central nuclei, ie, non-specific neurogenic muscle atrophy. Ultrastructural studies demonstrated mitochondrial abnormalities and expansion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Proteomic profiling identified 220 significantly dysregulated proteins in CMT-SORD muscle, including alterations in mitochondrial complex I components, redox enzymes, and metabolic regulators distinct from changes observed in other rare recessive CMTs. Quantitative PCR validated increased levels of NNMT, POSTN, TACO1, as well as complement and immunomodulatory factors, suggesting mitochondrial stress, compensatory metabolic activation and tissue remodeling. Despite mitochondrial vulnerability, serum studies indicated that GDF-15 and FGF-21 did not appear to be suitable biomarkers for CMT-SORD. These findings demonstrate that SORD deficiency induces molecular and structural changes in skeletal muscle that extend beyond denervation, implicating impaired sorbitol metabolism, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction as intrinsic myopathic features of SORD-related CMT2. They indicate the need for therapeutic strategies targeting both neuronal and muscular compartments.",
"42616772": "ID: 42616772\nTitle: Drug development targeting the mitochondrial respiratory chain of Sparganum proliferum: Initial biochemical and drug discovery insights into the enigmatic helminth parasite.\nAbstract: Sparganum proliferum undergoes asexual proliferation within the human host, leading to multiorgan failure and death. Currently, no effective treatment is available. Long considered mysterious, the natural host and transmission route remain unidentified, hindering preventive measures. Furthermore, owing to its extreme rarity, biochemical research and drug development have been neglected. This study investigated mitochondrial function and screened for compounds targeting this parasite. The parasite showed activity of mitochondrial complexes I-IV and NADH-fumarate reductase, indicating a hybrid respiratory chain that supports both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Quinone-binding site inhibitors showed inhibitory activity against the respiratory chain. Ascofuranone derivatives acted as dual inhibitors of complexes II and III. The antimalarial drug atovaquone inhibited complex III at a very low concentration (IC\u2085\u2080 2.2 nM). IACS-010759 potently inhibited complex I (IC\u2085\u2080 16.1 nM), causing worm body swelling, surface destruction, and mitochondrial morphological changes in culture assays. Further investigation of the mitochondrial respiratory chain of S. proliferum to develop targeted candidate drugs is warranted.",
"42616773": "ID: 42616773\nTitle: Regulatory logic of neuronal differentiation in the Drosophila visual system.\nAbstract: Combinations of terminal selector transcription factors (tsTFs) are thought to establish and maintain the unique identities of the numerous cell types found in nervous systems. However, it remains largely unclear how tsTF combinations are specified during development and how they then coordinate the type-specific differentiation programs of each neuron. To investigate these regulatory mechanisms, we performed simultaneous single-cell RNA and ATAC (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin) sequencing on the Drosophila optic lobes at four stages of their development and identified over 250 distinct cell types. We characterized the common cis-regulatory features of neuronal enhancers and performed comprehensive inference of gene regulatory networks across cell types and stages. Our results reveal cell type- and stage-specific enhancers of many neuronal genes and the cooperative actions of tsTFs, pan-neuronal and ecdysone-responsive TFs on these enhancers. We show that the same effector genes are often regulated by different tsTF combinations acting through distinct enhancers in different neurons. During neurogenesis, tsTF codes are established within a brief critical period in newborn neurons, often through cell type-specific enhancers that are not accessible in their progenitors. Accordingly, when neuroblast temporal patterning TFs are reutilized as tsTFs in neurons, they are regulated independently through separate enhancers. Therefore, neuronal identity specification and differentiation is a multistep regulatory program, wherein the same TFs enact distinct regulatory codes at different steps and across cell types."
