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

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

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

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

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

PF-04957325 (PF), a selective PDE8B inhibitor, elevates intracellular cAMP; however, its systems-level effects and mechanisms in A\u03b2-driven AD are unclear.

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHE), a blood-brain barrier-permeable sesquiterpene lactone with established anti-inflammatory activity, represents a promising but unexplored therapeutic candidate for ALS/FTD. The therapeutic effects of DHE were evaluated in primary mouse and human astrocytes expressing ALS/FTD-associated RNA-binding protein pathology, ALS patient-derived fibroblasts, and primary cortical neurons exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. Drosophila models expressing mutant FUS or TDP-43 in glial cells were used to assess locomotor performance and survival. Molecular analyses examined nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent antioxidant responses, protein aggregation, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory mediator production. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured in patients with sporadic ALS. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy. DHE attenuated astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity and improved neuronal mitochondrial function in conditioned-medium assays. In addition, DHE reduced pathological FUS accumulation in FUS P525L-expressing astrocytes and in stress-challenged patient-derived fibroblasts. In Drosophila models, DHE significantly improved locomotor function and extended survival. Translationally, the chemokines CXCL10, CCL3, and CCL19 were elevated in plasma from patients with ALS, were induced by FUS or TDP-43 pathology in astrocytes, and were suppressed by DHE treatment, supporting the clinical relevance of the inflammatory pathways targeted by DHE. DHE mitigates astrocyte-driven neurotoxicity associated with ALS/FTD-related RNA-binding protein pathology by suppressing inflammatory signaling and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. The consistent therapeutic effects observed across mouse and human cellular models, patient-derived samples, and in vivo Drosophila models support further investigation of DHE as a potential therapeutic strategy for ALS/FTD and highlight astrocyte-mediated signaling pathways as actionable targets in neurodegenerative disease."

Chronic high-fat diet (HFD) consumption disrupts blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, a pivotal pathological event that facilitates neurotoxic infiltration, neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury. Brain pericytes play a central role in maintaining BBB function and are particularly vulnerable to HFD-induced metabolic stress. Loss or dysfunction of pericytes contributes to BBB breakdown. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which is highly expressed in pericytes, is a critical regulator of neurovascular integrity; its downregulation activates the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling cascade, thereby exacerbating BBB permeability. This study aimed to investigate whether the traditional Chinese medicine formula Zexieyin Formula (ZXYF) ameliorates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting pericyte dysfunction. We hypothesized that ZXYF exerts neuroprotective effects by restoring pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, suppressing activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and consequently attenuating hippocampal neuronal damage. Both in vivo and in vitro models were employed to elucidate the underlying neurovascular mechanisms. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 16 weeks to induce cognitive impairment, followed by a 4-week intervention with ZXYF; atorvastatin (ATO) served as a positive control. Cognitive function was evaluated using a battery of behavioral tests. BBB integrity was assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blot analysis of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Cerebrovascular permeability was further evaluated using sodium fluorescein extravasation assays combined with co-localization analysis with the endothelial marker CD31. Pericyte-associated LRP1 expression in the hippocampus was examined by immunofluorescent co-localization of LRP1 with the pericyte marker PDGFR-\u03b2. Activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway in hippocampal tissue was analyzed by Western blotting. In vitro, mouse brain microvascular pericytes (MBVPs) were exposed to free fatty acids (FFA) to model metabolic stress. LRP1 expression and localization were assessed by confocal microscopy, and protein levels of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway were determined by Western blotting. An LRP1-knockdown MBVPs cell line was generated via lentiviral transduction to evaluate LRP1 dependence. HFD-fed mice exhibited pronounced cognitive deficits, which were significantly ameliorated by ZXYF treatment. TEM and Western blot analyses revealed marked BBB disruption in HFD-fed mice, characterized by ultrastructural abnormalities and reduced expression of ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Immunofluorescence demonstrated increased sodium fluorescein leakage in the hippocampus, indicating cerebrovascular damage, which was partially reversed by ZXYF. Mechanistically, confocal imaging showed a significant reduction in LRP1 expression in hippocampal pericytes of HFD-fed mice, accompanied by activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway. ZXYF intervention restored pericyte-associated LRP1 expression and suppressed pathway activation. Consistently, lentivirus-mediated LRP1 knockdown in MBVPs abolished the inhibitory effects of ZXYF on CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling, demonstrating that ZXYF-mediated pathway regulation is LRP1-dependent. This study demonstrates that ZXYF alleviates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting BBB function. ZXYF restores pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, thereby inhibiting the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and protecting hippocampal neurons. These findings identify pericytes and the LRP1/CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 axis as critical therapeutic targets in metabolic cognitive disorders and provide a novel mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective effects of traditional Chinese medicine."

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

However, persistent or dysregulated inflammation contributes significantly to the progression of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advances in RNA biology have identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, as key modulators of inflammatory signaling networks. These RNA molecules regulate key pathways such as NF-\u03baB, STAT3, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT, thereby influencing immune responses, tumor progression, neuronal survival, and cellular stress adaptation. In parallel, RNA-sensing receptors, including Toll-like receptors and RIG-I-like receptors, connect innate immune activation with chronic inflammatory pathology. Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes. In cancer, RNA-mediated feedback loops sustain tumor-promoting inflammation, metastasis, and immune evasion, whereas in neurodegenerative disorders, they contribute to glial activation, neuronal dysfunction, and progressive neuroinflammation. This review examines the mechanistic relationship between RNA dysregulation and inflammation across cancer and neurodegeneration, with particular emphasis on RNA signaling networks, exosomal communication, and targeted RNA-based therapeutics. Collectively, advances in understanding the RNA-inflammation axis may reveal new opportunities for precision diagnostics and next generation therapeutic interventions."

Microglia, the CNS resident immune cells, dynamically transition between protective and pathological states during AD progression. Recent advances in single-cell sequencing and metabolomics reveal that microglial roles extend beyond simple M1/M2 polarization. This review synthesizes these advances into a framework integrating microglial plasticity, metabolic reprogramming, and intercellular communication in AD. Methods: We reviewed recent (2020-2026) studies on microglial biology in AD, focusing on DAM (disease-associated microglia) ontogeny, metabolic reprogramming, immune checkpoints, and glial crosstalk. Results: Microglia exhibit spatiotemporal heterogeneity, shifting from protective phagocytic phenotypes (M2, DAM1/2) in early AD to pro-inflammatory and exhausted states (M1, terminal inflammatory microglia [TIM], lipid droplet-accumulating microglia [LDAM]) as pathology advances. Key pathways-TREM2/SYK phagocytosis, Piezo1 mechanotransduction, TAM (Tyro3, Axl, Mer) receptor signaling, and metabolic regulators (HK2, iron, APOE4-driven lipid metabolism)-orchestrate these transitions. Microglia also interact with astrocytes, T cells, and peripheral immune cells via IL-3, complement C3, MHC-I and MHC-II, forming glial-immune networks that modulate A\u03b2 clearance, tau propagation, and synaptic integrity. Conclusions: Precisely targeting microglial functional states, rather than broad immunosuppression, is a promising disease-modifying strategy for AD. Future therapies should integrate metabolic reprogramming, glial network regulation, and immune checkpoint modulation to preserve protective microglial phenotypes in early AD while suppressing pathological activation and exhaustion in advanced disease."

In this review, we synthesize recent advances in the structure, assembly, and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and evaluate its contribution to AD using evidence from human brain tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, and diverse AD animal models. Available data consistently support aberrant NLRP3 activation in AD brain, where it is closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition, tau pathology, glial reactivity, and cognitive decline. We further discuss the cell-type-specific roles of microglia and astrocytes, highlighting microglia as the principal effector cells in inflammasome-associated pathology. Mechanistically, A\u03b2 and tau converge on NLRP3 activation through interconnected pathways involving K+ efflux, lysosomal rupture, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired autophagy. Downstream IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, and gasdermin D amplify neuroinflammation and neuronal injury. We summarize emerging therapeutic strategies directly targeting its core components or downstream effectors, as well as anti-AD agents with indirect NLRP3 modulation including endogenous molecules, repurposed drugs, and natural products.

Currently, effective therapeutic strategies for HIE remain limited and require further exploration. Emerging evidence indicates that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HIE. Nevertheless, clinically effective anti-inflammatory agents specifically targeting HIE are still lacking. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is a biologically significant metabolite involved in various cellular metabolic pathways. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of G3P against hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced brain injury by modulating microglial activation. In LPS-treated microglia, G3P suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, restored mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and promoted a shift toward an anti-inflammatory microglial phenotype. In addition, G3P treatment in zebrafish showed no toxicity and significantly mitigated HI-induced oxidative stress, while suppressing both the recruitment and pro-inflammatory activation of mpeg1\u207a macrophages and lyzc\u207a neutrophils. Moreover, administration of G3P dramatically reduced infarct volume and alleviated neuronal loss in rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Y-maze and Morris water maze tests demonstrated that G3P treatment significantly enhanced spatial learning and memory in HIBD rats. Furthermore, G3P markedly reduced the hyperactivation of microglia and astrocytes in both cortical and hippocampal regions. Mechanistically, Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses revealed that G3P exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclic GMP-AMP synthase -stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signalling pathway and its downstream TBK1/the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling pathway. These findings highlight G3P as a promising therapeutic candidate for HIE."

This systematic review synthesized evidence from 2021 to 2025 on associations of sTREM2 and YKL-40 with AD progression. This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore, and Web of Science were searched (Jan 2021-Dec 2025), with citation searching.

Two independent reviewers screened records using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) criteria, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Original human studies measuring sTREM2 and/or YKL-40 across the AD spectrum were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to heterogeneity in study design and outcomes, a narrative synthesis was performed. Thirteen studies were included: seven on sTREM2, five on YKL-40, and one on both. Six were low risk of bias, and seven were moderate. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 showed a biphasic pattern across disease stages, with early potential neuroprotective associations and later correlation with cortical atrophy and cognitive decline. A sex-APOE \u03b54 interaction was observed, with higher levels in female carriers. YKL-40 showed weak amyloid associations but strong coupling with tau pathology and neurodegeneration, influenced by vascular risk factors. Plasma YKL-40 predicted incident dementia and cognitive decline, and serum YKL-40 differentiated early dementia from controls with good diagnostic performance. sTREM2 and YKL-40 represent biologically distinct but complementary neuroinflammatory pathways in AD. sTREM2 reflects a stage-dependent microglial response, while YKL-40 reflects tau-associated astrocytic activation modulated by vascular factors.

Although amyloid-beta deposition and tau pathology are the defining pathological features of AD, increasing evidence indicates that immune dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation also contribute to disease onset and progression. However, the specific immune pathways involved in AD and their mechanistic relevance remain incompletely understood. The major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) antigen processing and presentation pathway has attracted growing attention because of its classical role in adaptive immunity and its potential functions within the central nervous system. In this narrative review, we summarize current evidence linking AD to the MHC-I, or human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I), pathway from genetic, molecular, cellular, and immunological perspectives. Available studies implicate the broader HLA region in AD susceptibility and suggest that alterations in HLA-I-related loci, antigen-processing machinery, MHC-I-associated molecules, and downstream immune responses may contribute to disease heterogeneity. At the molecular and cellular levels, changes in MHC-I molecules, antigen-processing machinery, and associated signaling pathways have been reported in microglia, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglial lineage cells. In parallel, changes involving \u03b22-microglobulin and the presence of expanded or cytotoxic like CD8+ T cells suggest that adaptive immune mechanisms may participate in AD pathology. Nevertheless, direct evidence demonstrating immune responses specific to particular antigens and restricted by HLA-I in human AD remains limited. Overall, current findings indicate that the MHC-I/HLA-I pathway may represent an important component of AD pathophysiology and contribute to disease progression by influencing immune homeostasis and cellular interactions within the central nervous system. Further studies integrating human tissue analysis, immunopeptidomics, spatial profiling, and paired T cell receptor approaches are needed to clarify its mechanistic, biomarker, and therapeutic significance."

In humans, even small, silent strokes can trigger these pathologies, which can spread to brain regions far beyond the infarct and persist chronically, ultimately worsening prognosis and increasing the risk for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The cause of this pathology is unknown, but reactive astrocytes and microglia are likely contributors. Here, we describe an optimized short-duration middle cerebral artery occlusion model that produces a clinically relevant small stroke mostly confined to subcortical regions, similar to many silent strokes in humans. We termed this model the mild subcortical infarct (MSCI). We then mapped the spatiotemporal extent of reactive astrocytes and microglia during the sub-acute period (1, 3, and 7\u2009days) following MSCI. We observed that reactive astrogliosis develops more rapidly and spreads more extensively, compared to the reactive microglia response following this small infarct. Microglial depletion resulted in larger infarct sizes but did not prevent reactive astrocytes. Aging mice exposed to MSCI exhibited a comparably strong response of reactive astrocytes and microglia as young mice. Lastly, reactive astrocytes persisted for at least nine months after MSCI. We propose that this mild ischemia model is valuable for examining the chronic effects of subcortical stroke. It may be especially useful for investigating the functional impact of reactive astrogliosis in regions distal from the primary injury site."

While probiotics show therapeutic potential via the gut brain axis, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of Leuconostoc mesenteroides lysate and its bioactive metabolites in an A\u03b2-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma model. SH-SY5Y cells were challenged with A\u03b2 and treated with L. mesenteroides lysate. Neuroprotective effects were evaluated via ROS accumulation, SOD1, APOE, NOS2, and mitochondrial dynamics (MFF, OPA1) using qPCR and WB. Potential mechanisms of action were explored computationally through integrated genome mining (antiSMASH 7.0), molecular docking (CB-Dock2), and systems pharmacology analysis (STRING/KEGG/R-studio) to identify candidate metabolites and host targets. L. mesenteroides lysate significantly attenuated A\u03b2-induced ROS levels and upregulated SOD1, enhancing antioxidant capacity. The lysate effectively downregulated APOE expression and restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing mitochondrial fission (MFF) and promoting fusion (OPA1). In silico analysis predected phytoene as a primary bioactive metabolite with significant theoretical binding affinity for APOE. Systems biology mapping revealed highly significant enrichment in PPAR signaling and cholesterol metabolism pathways (FDR\u2009<\u200910\u207b\u2075). Specifically, Cellular Component analysis highlighted robust interactions within protein-lipid complexes (FDR\u2009=\u20091.98e-16). L. mesenteroides lysate counteracts A\u03b2-induced neurotoxicity by modulating oxidative stress and restoring mitochondrial bioenergetics. Collectively, our findings suggest a theoretical Phytoene-PPAR-APOE signaling axis as a predictive framework for the observed cellular effects. We emphasize that phytoene represents a predicted candidate metabolite requiring future chemical characterization and biological validation."

Although the primary mechanical insult is typically unilateral, secondary pathological processes can extend beyond the impact site. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of these bilateral alterations remains poorly understood. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous neuromodulator with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising candidate for limiting secondary brain injury. Here, we characterized the bilateral hippocampal response to experimental TBI and evaluated whether early intranasal NPY administration post-TBI attenuates neurovascular and neuroinflammatory alterations while improving behavioral outcomes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a closed-head weight-drop model of TBI and treated intranasally with NPY (100\u00a0\u03bcg/animal) or vehicle 30\u00a0min after injury. Molecular, histological, and behavioral analyses were performed 48\u00a0h and 7\u00a0days post-injury. We concluded that TBI induced distinct spatiotemporal pathological responses in the hippocampi. The ipsilateral hippocampus exhibited early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and astrocytic alterations, whereas the contralateral hippocampus developed a more pronounced and sustained inflammatory response characterized by microglial activation and increased expression of inflammatory and endothelial activation markers. Early intranasal NPY administration attenuated these bilateral pathological alterations by preserving BBB integrity, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, and normalizing glial morphology. These neurobiological effects were accompanied by improvements in spatial working memory and anxiety-related behaviors. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that unilateral TBI induces distinct bilateral secondary injury responses within the hippocampus and identify early intranasal NPY administration as a promising strategy. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and establish the long-term therapeutic potential of NPY."

Here, we generate a chimeric model of AD by transplanting isogenic APOE3 or APOE4 human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived astrocyte progenitors into neonatal AD mice. Donor cells differentiate into human astrocytes that integrate into the cortex and display morphologies consistent with interlaminar-like astrocytes. APOE3 and APOE4 astrocytes differ in expression of APOE, which associates differentially with A\u03b2 plaques. Notably, APOE3 astrocytes are associated with reduced A\u03b2 burden, Tau pathology, and neuritic dystrophy, whereas APOE4 astrocytes exacerbate these processes. They also induce distinct microglial responses: APOE4 astrocytes enhance microglial clustering around A\u03b2 plaques and promote a disease-associated microglia-like state, whereas APOE3 astrocytes reduce clustering and support a more homeostatic profile.

Hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable vascular risk factor, but whether its association with AD differs across APOE genotypes remains unclear. We examined the interaction between HTN and APOE genotypes in relation to incident AD and explored plasma proteomic correlates as potential biological clues. Longitudinal data from 318,923 UK Biobank participants without dementia were analyzed; participants had a mean age of 56.24 years, an APOE \u03b54 frequency of 28.29%, and a median follow-up period of 13 years. Cox proportional hazards models with competing-risk adjustment for death were used to assess additive and multiplicative interactions between HTN and APOE genotypes. Plasma proteomic data from 34,141 participants, covering 2790 proteins, were further analyzed using mediation and bioinformatics approaches. HTN showed a significant multiplicative interaction with APOE \u03b54 status for incident AD (p < .001). The association between HTN and AD risk was strongest among APOE \u03b52 carriers, followed by \u03b533 carriers and \u03b54 carriers, with hazard ratios of 1.570, 1.213, and 1.129, respectively. Among APOE \u03b52 carriers, prosaposin and ganglioside GM2 activator significantly mediated the HTN-AD association, with mediation proportions of 10.46% and 3.37%, respectively. These proteins were enriched in sphingolipid metabolism and lysosomal function. The association between HTN and incident AD varies across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. These findings suggest genotype-dependent heterogeneity in vascular contributions to AD risk. Proteomic results should be interpreted as exploratory biological clues and require further validation. The association between hypertension and incident Alzheimer\u2019s disease differed across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. Multiplicative, but not additive, interaction supports cautious interpretation of clinical implications and does not establish absolute risk scale synergy. Exploratory plasma proteomic analyses identified PSAP-, GM2A-, and BRK1-related signals involving sphingolipid, lysosomal, and WAVE-complex biology."

However, it remains unclear whether the existing literature tests PA at the disease stage and in the populations most likely to show benefit. This umbrella review evaluated whether associations between PA and cognitive, fluid biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes differ by apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) genotype across stages of cognitive aging, with particular attention to how study design and baseline cognitive status shape interpretation of the evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were screened for primary studies examining PA in adults classified by baseline cognitive status as cognitively unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. Primary studies reporting APOE \u03b54-stratified outcomes were extracted and qualitatively synthesized by outcome domain, cognitive stage, and study design. Of 2,100 records identified, seven systematic reviews met inclusion criteria, yielding 68 unique primary studies. Favorable associations between PA and cognitive, biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes were most often reported in observational studies of younger or cognitively unimpaired adults. Several studies suggested stronger associations among APOE \u03b54 carriers, including midlife cognitive associations, neuroimaging markers, and vascular/metabolic outcomes such as lipid profiles. In contrast, randomized controlled trials were few, generally enrolled older adults with MCI or dementia, included small APOE \u03b54 subgroups, and reported largely null or mixed genotype-specific effects. The current evidence does not establish a definitive APOE \u03b54-specific preventive effect of PA. Future studies may be most informative if they target earlier-stage, low-active, or metabolically at-risk APOE \u03b54 carriers using objective PA measures and proximal vascular, metabolic, imaging, or blood-based biomarker outcomes."

Sensitive cognitive measures, in addition to biomarkers of amyloid pathology, add to the efficiency of secondary prevention trials by identifying cognitively normal individuals at greatest risk of clinical progression. The Stages of Objective Memory Impairment (SOMI) system, based on the picture version of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with immediate recall (pFCSRT+IR), predicted clinical progression in two observational studies. Our objective was to extend SOMI's findings to clinical trials using participants from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's(A4) study. Eligible participants were cognitively normal, had a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) =0, an elevated amyloid level, the pFCSRT+IR, pTau217, and longitudinal data on the CDR. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of baseline SOMI stage for clinical progression defined by time to the first of 2 consecutive CDRs > 0 or CDR>0 at last assessment. The sample was censored at 4.5 years of follow-up. Of the 911 eligible participants, mean age was 72 years, 59% were female, 62% were APOE \u03b54 carriers, and 37% progressed over 4.5 years. Hazard ratios (HR) for progression were estimated with follow-up time as the timescale and the SOMI 0 group as the reference.

While BMSC-derived small extracellular vesicles (BMSC-Exo) are neuroprotective, their ability to repair mitochondrial deficits is limited. We engineered mitochondrial-enriched sEVs (Exo-Mito) to evaluate their effects on microglia-neuron interactions in a PD-relevant model. BMSC-Exo-Mito were characterized via TEM, NTA, and immunoblotting. Their therapeutic efficacy was assessed using an MPP\u00a0+\u00a0-induced BV2/SH-SY5Y transwell co-culture model. Assessments included ROS levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP quantification, mitophagy flux, and signaling pathway analysis. Exo-Mito significantly restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing ROS, preserving membrane potential, and increasing ATP production. Mechanistically, Exo-Mito enhanced PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy and PGC-1alpha/TFAM-mediated biogenesis. In BV2 microglia, Exo-Mito suppressed the NF-kappaB/NLRP3 axis, reduced proinflammatory cytokines, and promoted M2 polarization. In SH-SY5Y cells with dopaminergic phenotype, Exo-Mito was associated with reactivated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, preserved tyrosine hydroxylase expression, and inhibited apoptosis.

Mitochondria-enriched BMSC sEVs protect SH-SY5Y cells by coordinating mitochondrial quality control and modulating neuroinflammation.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a lipid transport protein that plays a central role in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins and the transport of lipids within tissues. Among its three major isoforms, only ApoE4 has a unique structural variant that confers significant neurotoxicity not present in the other two subtypes. ApoE4 not only disrupts lipid metabolism but also interferes with neuroimmune regulation and mitochondrial dynamics, thereby impairing synaptic integrity. It is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and accelerates its age of onset. Although developing depression in midlife may be a risk factor for AD, the underlying mechanisms by which ApoE4 influences depression or depression-related behaviors associated with AD remain fragmented, and systematic integrative reviews on this topic are scarce. We integrate existing evidence to elucidate the role of ApoE4 in depression or AD-associated prodromal depressive-like behaviors, with a focus on how its dysfunction disrupts cellular lipid homeostasis, impairs synaptic plasticity, and damages mitochondrial function. We also explored specific therapeutic strategies targeting the pathological defects of ApoE4 that enhance synaptic resilience, and utilizing conformational modulating small molecules such as EZ-482 and ALZ-801 to treat depressive symptoms in early AD. Thus, these findings indicate that ApoE4 may influence the progression of depressive phenotypes through multiple pathological pathways, making it a promising therapeutic target for treating depression comorbid with early AD."

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer-enclosed membrane vesicles secreted by diverse cell types that mediate communication between the periphery and CNS through the delivery of various bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and non-coding RNA, thereby exerting immunomodulatory functions. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that EVs contribute to immune regulation during the initiation and progression of CNS diseases by modulating pathological processes, including neuroinflammation, pro-inflammatory polarization of glial cells, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis.

Nrf2 is a master controller of homeostatic functions whose activity is compromised in AD. Most pharmacological Nrf2 activators are electrophilic molecules that covalently modify cysteine residues in the thiol-rich Keap1, and many are Michael acceptors, such as low-molecular-weight (LMW) skin allergens. However, LMW allergens-induced Nrf2 activation in a pharmacological setting has only recently attracted attention, exemplified by the clinical success of Dimethyl Fumarate. Hence, we investigated, for the first time, the potential of the skin allergen Isoeugenol to activate Nrf2 and reverse selected AD hallmarks, both in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo, in AD-specific models. In\u00a0vitro studies were performed using microglia cells exposed to LPS and neuronal cells overexpressing human APP with Swedish mutation, to evaluate Isoeugenol's potential in decreasing neuroinflammation and activating the Nrf2 pathway, respectively. In\u00a0vivo studies were conducted in 10-month-old AD double-transgenic mice (APP/PS1), which were intranasally administered Isougenol. Isoeugenol's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, and its effect on mice cognition were evaluated. The results showed that Isoeugenol (1) activated Nrf2 in AD neuronal cells (likely involving AKT signaling); (2) exhibited antioxidant and Nrf2-dependent anti-inflammatory activity, which was abolished after Nrf2 silencing; (3) exhibited good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles; (4) reduced the levels of A\u03b2 peptides in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo; (5) reduced triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in treated mice; and (6) improved the memory deficits in old mice. This is the first study reporting Isoeugenol's intranasal administration, and on specific AD mice models. Overall, the results reinforce Isoeugenol as a pleiotropic molecule, with great potential for AD treatment."

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

While amyloid beta (A\u03b2) peptides are established contributors to neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease, their role in aging-related subclinical inflammation remains insufficiently elucidated. In humans, A\u03b2 exhibits dual functions: it supports neuronal activity, survival, and protection against neurotrauma, while also promoting inflammation and central nervous system dysfunction. This review highlights the beneficial effects of A\u03b2, including its antioxidant and antipathogenic properties, and synthesizes current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms driving A\u03b2-associated inflammaging. We structure this analysis across distinct brain cell types - microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, neurons, pericytes, and endothelial cells - and consider additional factors influencing A\u03b2-related neuroinflammation. Finally, we examine strategies to counteract the detrimental effects of A\u03b2, focusing on A\u03b2 physiological clearance via the blood-brain barrier and glymphatic system, as well as therapeutic interventions. Understanding A\u03b2-driven inflammaging mechanisms offers new therapeutic avenues for early intervention in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in genetically susceptible populations. Targeting A\u03b2-associated inflammaging reframes A\u03b2 not solely as a pathological marker but also as a context-dependent contributor to inflammatory processes during brain aging."

This underscores the urgent need for validated and clinically applicable biomarkers. Research continues to expand our knowledge of fluid biomarkers for detecting and monitoring PD progression. Cerebrospinal fluid \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn) seed amplification assays (SAA) have emerged as highly sensitive and specific biomarkers for the diagnosis of PD. The development of less invasive procedures using biological fluids such as serum or saliva would be more practical for routine clinical use. Recent data demonstrate the presence of pathogenic \u03b1-synuclein in the serum of PD patients compared with healthy controls, detected using real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assays. Elevated ratios of pS129-\u03b1-syn and/or oligomeric \u03b1-syn to total \u03b1-syn have also been reported in PD. Future research should clarify differences in protein aggregate formation across various synucleinopathies. Promising advances toward a clinically useful blood-based diagnostic test for PD include the quantification of proteins released from neural-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), such as oligomeric and phosphorylated \u03b1-syn, tau, and disease-associated microRNAs. Given the role of neuroinflammation in PD pathogenesis, inflammatory biomarkers, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1(TNF-\u03b1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), are under active investigation. Furthermore, fluid biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease pathology are being explored for their potential to predict motor and cognitive decline in PD and related synucleinopathies. Salivary EVs hold promise as a non-invasive source of PD biomarkers; however, robust validation in large, well-characterized cohorts is essential to improve the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of PD."

Milk-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain bioactive microRNAs and have recently attracted attention as modulators of intestinal homeostasis. This study investigated the effect of bovine milk-derived extracellular vesicles (B-mEVs) in ameliorating MASH by improving intestinal barrier function. C57BL/6J mice fed a choline-deficient amino acid-defined high-fat diet (CDA-HFD) were orally treated with B-mEVs, and therapeutic effects were evaluated. Liver histology, fibrosis, portal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels, intestinal permeability, and gut microbiota composition were evaluated. The direct effects of B-mEVs on intestinal barrier function were assessed using palmitic acid-stimulated Caco-2 cells. Small RNA sequencing and microRNA enrichment analyses were performed to characterize B-mEV cargo. B-mEV treatment attenuated hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in CDA-HFD-fed mice and reduced serum aminotransferase levels, portal LPS concentrations, hepatic macrophage accumulation, and hepatic TLR4/NF-\u03baB signaling activation. Meanwhile, B-mEVs restored intestinal tight junction proteins, including ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1, and improved intestinal permeability in vivo. In Caco-2 cells, B-mEVs attenuated palmitic acid-induced barrier dysfunction and suppressed myosin light chain kinase expression. Gut microbiota analysis revealed partial restoration of Akkermansia abundance after B-mEV administration. Furthermore, to explore the molecular basis of these protective effects, small RNA sequencing demonstrated enrichment of regulatory microRNAs, including let-7a-5p, and pathway analyses identified associations with intestinal barrier and inflammatory signaling pathways. B-mEVs ameliorated CDA-HFD-induced steatohepatitis by restoring intestinal barrier integrity and suppressing gut-derived LPS/TLR4 inflammatory signaling. These findings suggested that milk EVs may represent a novel gut-liver axis-targeted therapeutic strategy for MASH."

Accumulating evidence suggests that olfactory and visual deficits can precede overt cognitive symptoms and are closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 deposition, pathological tau phosphorylation, and disease progression. Early sensory abnormalities in AD likely arise from converging pathological processes. Among these, chronic neuroinflammation marked by microglial and astrocytic reactivity, inflammasome activation and increased pro-inflammatory mediators might play a pivotal role linking sensory-circuit injury to neurodegeneration. A coherent synthesis of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying early olfactory and visual impairment in AD remains limited, and putative molecular pathways and interventions have not been fully integrated. We aimed to identify AD-related olfactory and visual or retinal abnormalities, combine core inflammatory pathways and their interactions with amyloid-\u03b2 and tau pathology, and summarize actionable targets and candidate interventions along a \"receptor-intracellular signaling-inflammasome-effector\" axis, to inform earlier-stage detection and mechanism-guided intervention in AD."

The disease is clinically diagnosed by the presence of \u03b2-amyloid (A\u03b2), hyperphosphorylated tau, and neurodegeneration. Animal models serve as an indispensable tool to understanding AD pathogenesis and evaluating potential therapeutic approaches. However, despite the development of more than 200 rodent models, species-specific differences limit the translational relevance.

Herein, we describe a robust stimulus-based neuroimmune organoid model that demonstrates neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and lipid dysregulation with AD-relevant pathological markers. Using planar organoids containing neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular cells, we performed in-depth characterization of the induced AD-like phenotype using supernatant proteomic analysis, immunofluorescence staining, NfL and GFAP release, scRNAseq, bulk RNAseq, and pathway analysis both acutely (24 h) and chronically (7 days). Furthermore, we show that the induced neuroinflammation, lipid dysregulation, and neurodegeneration can be ameliorated using small molecules.

Critically, rather than presenting all reported metabolic alterations as equivalently established, we introduce an evidence-transparency framework that systematically distinguishes the nature of supporting data-ranging from direct metabolic flux measurements (Seahorse, isotope tracing, lipidomics) and molecular correlates, to genetic/pharmacological perturbations, human tissue validation, and model-specific observations-enabling readers to independently assess the strength of each major conclusion. We further delineate aging as an active analytical dimension, demonstrating how age-related changes in mitochondrial quality control, lipid handling, redox buffering, and glial-immune crosstalk establish a permissive baseline that modifies disease-specific reprogramming trajectories. By integrating analyses of intercellular crosstalk, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and oxidative stress, we illustrate both convergent and divergent metabolic mechanisms across diseases. Finally, we critically assess therapeutic strategies targeting immunometabolism, emphasizing shared translational obstacles including target selectivity, blood-brain barrier penetration, stage-dependent efficacy, and the inherent challenge of pathway pleiotropy. This review provides a conceptually grounded framework for interpreting immunometabolic evidence, navigating the gap between correlative findings and causal mechanisms, and guiding future hypothesis-driven therapeutic design for CNS disorders."

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) possess considerable therapeutic potential; however, their clinical translation is constrained by insufficient bioactivity, poor targeting specificity, and uncontrolled release kinetics. Here, we present a multidimensional engineering strategy that overcomes these barriers synergistically. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-pretreated extracellular vesicles (TEVs) are enriched with anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative factors in their cargo, while Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting. A reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hyaluronic acid (HA)-phenylboronic acid (PBA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel serves as an intelligent depot for sustained, on-demand Ang-TEVs release at the lesion site. This construct, Ang-TEVs@Gel, demonstrated robust lesion accumulation and selective microglial uptake. It delivered miR-664a-3p, which suppressed PIK3CA to attenuate PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling and unleash autophagic flux, reprogramming microglia toward a reparative state that enhanced myelin debris clearance and quelled inflammation. Consequently, axonal regeneration and remyelination were markedly improved, driving significant motor recovery in SCI mice. By integrating preconditioning, active targeting, and stimuli-responsive biomaterials, this strategy provides an elegant blueprint for engineering EV-based therapies to repair the injured central nervous system."

While the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is known to maintain blood-brain barrier integrity, its capacity to decouple the inflammation-metabolism axis remains underexplored. This study investigates whether activation of LRP1 can ameliorate LPS-induced cognitive deficits by recalibrating cerebral glucose metabolism. We utilized an integrative approach combining behavioral phenotyping with targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics to dissect the neuroprotective mechanism of SP16, a selective LRP1 agonist. Cognitive dysfunction was modeled in mice via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) LPS administration, followed by systemic intervention with intraperitoneally (i.p) injected SP16. SP16 treatment preserved cognitive function and prevented neuronal structural atrophy against the LPS injection. Mechanistically, LRP1 activation did more than suppress inflammation; it functionally modulated hippocampal insulin sensitivity and re-established redox homeostasis. Crucially, metabolomic profiling highlighted a restoration of glycolytic flux, centered on the normalization of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) levels. This metabolic reprogramming coincided with the upregulation of the M2-like reparative marker, Mrc1. Our findings identify LRP1 as a regulator that bridges metabolic health and immune resolution. By enforcing a metabolic shift via the FBP node, SP16 effectively guides microglia from a pro-inflammatory state toward tissue repair. Thus, honing in on SP16-mediated metabolic reprogramming presents an opportunity for a therapeutic intervention against neuroinflammation-associated cognitive impairment, offering a more nuanced alternative to broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories."

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."

Here, we show that DAXX, a histone chaperone and RTE repressor, is downregulated during aging, preserves microglia homeostasis and inhibits cellular senescence. Loss of Daxx in young-adult microglia drives a reactive phenotype marked by chromatin decompaction at RTEs, loss of homeostatic markers, cell cycle re-entry and behavioral changes. This state leads to DNA damage and microglial depletion, followed by replacement with DAXX-deficient/Apoehigh microglia displaying features of senescence. Sustained induction of senescence relies on promyelocytic leukemia protein, a DAXX-interacting factor and interferon target.

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

Uptake of these vesicles markedly enhanced microglial bioenergetics, driving coordinated upregulation of both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. This metabolic shift was accompanied by improved microglial recruitment to A\u03b2 plaques and increased phagocytic clearance. Consequently, treated mice showed reduced A\u03b2 plaque deposition, restored synaptic integrity, and reversal of cognitive deficits. Proteomic and acetylomic analyses revealed that LEVs-SIRT2-KD are selectively enriched in proteins and acetylation modifications linked to energy metabolism and phagocytic function, offering a mechanistic basis for the observed metabolic reprogramming. Together, these results identify LEVs as a critical vesicle subtype mediating the effects of SIRT2 knockdown and support a cell-free therapeutic strategy for AD centered on EVs-driven metabolic reprogramming of microglia."

O-GlcNAcylation, a nutrient-sensitive post-translational modification, has emerged as a key regulator of cellular stress and inflammation, yet its role in microglial activation in AD remains unclear. We observed that hippocampal tissue from AD patients exhibits a marked reduction in O-GlcNAcylation, accompanied by enhanced pro-inflammatory M1 microglial polarization, elevated NF-\u03baB signaling, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In an LPS-induced neuroinflammation model exhibiting AD-relevant inflammatory and cognitive features, as well as in in vitro microglial cultures, LPS exposure led to a pronounced decrease in O-GlcNAcylation, particularly within Iba1-positive microglia. Systemic or in vitro treatment with glucosamine (GlcN) effectively restored O-GlcNAc levels, suppressed M1-associated inflammatory pathways, and promoted an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Mechanistically, GlcN enhanced O-GlcNAcylation of NF-\u03baB subunits p65 and c-Rel, limiting their nuclear translocation and downstream pro-inflammatory gene expression. Notably, GlcN treatment ameliorated LPS-induced memory deficits and neuronal loss in mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that O-GlcNAcylation acts as a modulatory regulator of microglial activation and neuroinflammation in AD, and that enhancing O-GlcNAcylation may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to preserve immune homeostasis and neuronal integrity."

Chronic periodontitis has emerged as a modifiable risk factor, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been proposed as important mediators of the periodontal-brain axis. Periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) release bacterial EVs enriched with virulence factors including gingipains, lipopolysaccharide, and regulatory RNAs. These vesicles can enter systemic circulation, interact with the blood-brain barrier, activate microglia, and trigger inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and NLRP3. These processes contribute to neuroinflammation, amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, and tau hyperphosphorylation, hallmarks of AD pathology. Host-derived EVs further contribute to this complex signaling network by facilitating intercellular communication and potentially propagating pathogenic proteins while also carrying protective molecules. Preclinical studies suggest that periodontal-derived vesicles can reach the hippocampus and impair cognition, while clinical studies have detected P. gingivalis DNA and gingipains in AD brain tissues. EV-associated biomarkers in blood or cerebrospinal fluid and engineered therapeutic vesicles represent promising tools for early diagnosis and intervention. Targeting oral microbial EVs may therefore offer novel avenues for AD prevention and therapy."

However, there is increasing evidence suggests that these pathological hallmarks are secondary to deeper metabolic defect in the brain. AD is progressively being recognized as a metabolic synaptic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, impaired cellular energy homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic degeneration. Synaptic plasticity is closely linked to the insulin-sensitive system of glucose utilization, mitochondrial activity, and local protein synthesis that render the synapses highly sensitive to the malfunction of the metabolic system. Recent discoveries highlight the important role of exosomes in mediating communication between neural cells by transferring regulatory miRNAs across neuronal networks. Exosomal miRNAs regulate insulin signaling, synaptic gene expression, mitochondrial function, and neuroinflammation. In AD, exosomal miRNA profiles are significantly altered, with enrichment of miR-29, miR-34a, miR-146a, and miR-21, alongside depletion of synapse-supporting miR-132. These changes contribute to insulin resistance, impaired glucose transporter trafficking, dendritic spine destabilization, and reduced expression of synaptic proteins such as PSD-95 and synaptophysin, ultimately leading to cognitive decline. Importantly, neuron-derived exosomes can cross the blood-brain barrier, making their miRNA cargo promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early AD diagnosis and precision treatment."

While AD research has traditionally focused on the brain, increasing evidence suggests that the retina undergoes pathological remodeling that shares features with cerebral changes. Advances in retinal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, and hyperspectral approaches, have identified structural, vascular, and functional abnormalities in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage AD. This supports the potential utility of the retina as a non-invasive biomarker for detecting neurodegenerative processes. Furthermore, postmortem studies have demonstrated accumulation of amyloid-\u03b2 and phosphorylated tau, increased vulnerability of retinal ganglion cells (RGC), synaptic alterations in the inner plexiform layer (IPL), and significant activation of glial cells and complement-mediated inflammatory pathways. Melanopsin RGCs appear to be selectively affected, suggesting a mechanistic link between retinal pathology and the circadian or sleep disturbances commonly observed in AD. This review synthesizes human clinical data from imaging, histopathological, and proteomic studies supporting retinal involvement in AD, with emphasis on convergent mechanisms, including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, microglial activation, and synaptic degeneration. Key limitations and sources of variation in current retinal biomarker studies, including cohort heterogeneity, comorbid ocular disease, and methodological variability, are discussed, and future directions are outlined to strengthen retinal diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring of visual system dysfunction in AD."

Beyond its metabolic role, insulin functions as a neurotrophic and immunomodulatory factor in the developing brain. However, whether early enhancement of central insulin signaling can mitigate the neuroinflammatory and behavioral sequelae of HI remains unclear. Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to HI (right common carotid artery ligation followed by 90\u202fmin of 8% oxygen) at P10 and randomized to Sham\u00a0+\u00a0Vehicle, Sham\u00a0+\u00a0Insulin, HI\u00a0+\u00a0Vehicle, or HI\u00a0+\u00a0Insulin groups (n\u00a0=\u00a012 males and 12 females/group). Recombinant human insulin (rhInsulin) (50\u202f\u03bcg/day) was administered intranasally once daily from P10 to P12, and behavioral and histological outcomes were assessed at P21-P25. Neonatal HI produced persistent ADHD-like behavioral abnormalities and deficits in neurobiological outcomes. Notably, sex-specific responses were observed: males exhibited greater deficits in inattention, spatial working memory, impulsivity, adaptive social development, myelination and vascularization, whereas females showed more pronounced increases in repetitive and compulsive-like behaviors. Intranasal rhInsulin treatment significantly attenuated HI-induced behavioral deficits by 100% and increased myelination (MBP+) by 64% in cingulate white matter, restored dendritic expression (MAP2+) by 56%, and reduced astrocytes (GFAP+) by 70% in hippocampal regions, indicating suppression of chronic astrogliosis neuroinflammation. Furthermore, intranasal rhInsulin increased cerebral vascular volume by 49% and normalized vessel diameters as assessed by micro-computed tomography (microCT) imaging, suggesting enhanced neurovascular integrity. While our previous study demonstrated that intranasal rhInsulin attenuated acute brain injury, neuronal apoptosis, and short-term sensorimotor deficits following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI), its effects on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes remained unclear. The present study addresses this important knowledge gap by evaluating juvenile behavioral and neurobiological outcomes through P25, including ADHD-like behaviors, social deficits, repetitive behaviors, white matter integrity, astrogliosis, cerebrovascular development, and sex-specific treatment responses. Collectively, these findings identify central insulin signaling as a key regulator of post-HI neuroimmune and neurodevelopmental trajectories and support intranasal insulin as a promising, minimally invasive therapeutic approach to reduce the long-term neurobehavioral sequelae of neonatal brain injury."

While Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is known for its immunomodulatory properties, its specific role in ALS pathogenesis has not been fully established. This study aimed to characterize the expression patterns and functional significance of SLPI in ALS models. The study utilized SOD1G93A mice to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of SLPI expression in the gastrocnemius muscle, lumbar spinal cord, and serum across different disease stages. In vitro functional assays were conducted using siRNA-mediated knockdown of SLPI in BV2 (microglia), MA (astrocytes), and NSC-34 (motor neurons) cell lines. Additionally, recombinant SLPI protein was applied to LPS-stimulated BV2 cells to investigate its effect on the TLR4/ NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. In SOD1G93A mice, SLPI was significantly upregulated in the gastrocnemius muscle from the pre-symptomatic stage (60 days) through the late stage (130 days). In the lumbar spinal cord, SLPI showed a transient initial increase but declined sharply by the end-stage; a similar significant reduction was observed in late-stage serum levels. In vitro, SLPI knockdown exacerbated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in all three cell types and impaired the antioxidant capacity of NSC-34 motor neurons. Mechanistically, recombinant SLPI attenuated inflammation in BV2 cells by modulating the TLR4/NF-\u03baB pathway. The dynamic changes in SLPI levels suggest its potential relevance as a candidate molecule for disease staging. Meanwhile, its protective effects in regulating inflammation suggest that it could be a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating ALS-associated neuroinflammation."

Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine, among other drugs, have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy.

Both preclinical and clinical studies have reported encouraging outcomes, particularly when intranasal delivery is combined with nanoformulations and specialised delivery devices designed to enhance olfactory deposition. Intranasal administration is non-invasive, painless, and may improve patient adherence while enhancing brain bioavailability. Nevertheless, further well-designed clinical studies are required to establish the long-term safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of this delivery strategy."

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

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

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHE), a blood-brain barrier-permeable sesquiterpene lactone with established anti-inflammatory activity, represents a promising but unexplored therapeutic candidate for ALS/FTD. The therapeutic effects of DHE were evaluated in primary mouse and human astrocytes expressing ALS/FTD-associated RNA-binding protein pathology, ALS patient-derived fibroblasts, and primary cortical neurons exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. Drosophila models expressing mutant FUS or TDP-43 in glial cells were used to assess locomotor performance and survival. Molecular analyses examined nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent antioxidant responses, protein aggregation, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory mediator production. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured in patients with sporadic ALS. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy. DHE attenuated astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity and improved neuronal mitochondrial function in conditioned-medium assays. In addition, DHE reduced pathological FUS accumulation in FUS P525L-expressing astrocytes and in stress-challenged patient-derived fibroblasts. In Drosophila models, DHE significantly improved locomotor function and extended survival. Translationally, the chemokines CXCL10, CCL3, and CCL19 were elevated in plasma from patients with ALS, were induced by FUS or TDP-43 pathology in astrocytes, and were suppressed by DHE treatment, supporting the clinical relevance of the inflammatory pathways targeted by DHE. DHE mitigates astrocyte-driven neurotoxicity associated with ALS/FTD-related RNA-binding protein pathology by suppressing inflammatory signaling and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. The consistent therapeutic effects observed across mouse and human cellular models, patient-derived samples, and in vivo Drosophila models support further investigation of DHE as a potential therapeutic strategy for ALS/FTD and highlight astrocyte-mediated signaling pathways as actionable targets in neurodegenerative disease."

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."

While Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is known for its immunomodulatory properties, its specific role in ALS pathogenesis has not been fully established. This study aimed to characterize the expression patterns and functional significance of SLPI in ALS models. The study utilized SOD1G93A mice to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of SLPI expression in the gastrocnemius muscle, lumbar spinal cord, and serum across different disease stages. In vitro functional assays were conducted using siRNA-mediated knockdown of SLPI in BV2 (microglia), MA (astrocytes), and NSC-34 (motor neurons) cell lines. Additionally, recombinant SLPI protein was applied to LPS-stimulated BV2 cells to investigate its effect on the TLR4/ NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. In SOD1G93A mice, SLPI was significantly upregulated in the gastrocnemius muscle from the pre-symptomatic stage (60 days) through the late stage (130 days). In the lumbar spinal cord, SLPI showed a transient initial increase but declined sharply by the end-stage; a similar significant reduction was observed in late-stage serum levels. In vitro, SLPI knockdown exacerbated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in all three cell types and impaired the antioxidant capacity of NSC-34 motor neurons. Mechanistically, recombinant SLPI attenuated inflammation in BV2 cells by modulating the TLR4/NF-\u03baB pathway. The dynamic changes in SLPI levels suggest its potential relevance as a candidate molecule for disease staging. Meanwhile, its protective effects in regulating inflammation suggest that it could be a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating ALS-associated neuroinflammation."

While amyloid beta (A\u03b2) peptides are established contributors to neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease, their role in aging-related subclinical inflammation remains insufficiently elucidated. In humans, A\u03b2 exhibits dual functions: it supports neuronal activity, survival, and protection against neurotrauma, while also promoting inflammation and central nervous system dysfunction. This review highlights the beneficial effects of A\u03b2, including its antioxidant and antipathogenic properties, and synthesizes current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms driving A\u03b2-associated inflammaging. We structure this analysis across distinct brain cell types - microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, neurons, pericytes, and endothelial cells - and consider additional factors influencing A\u03b2-related neuroinflammation. Finally, we examine strategies to counteract the detrimental effects of A\u03b2, focusing on A\u03b2 physiological clearance via the blood-brain barrier and glymphatic system, as well as therapeutic interventions. Understanding A\u03b2-driven inflammaging mechanisms offers new therapeutic avenues for early intervention in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in genetically susceptible populations. Targeting A\u03b2-associated inflammaging reframes A\u03b2 not solely as a pathological marker but also as a context-dependent contributor to inflammatory processes during brain aging."

Participants were classified into biomarker-defined groups based on predefined cutoff values for A\u03b242 and phosphorylated tau (P-tau). We compared cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of complement proteins (C1q, C2, C3, C4a, C5, C6, C8b, and factor B) across these subgroups. Furthermore, we explored their associations with core AD biomarkers (A\u03b242, P-tau, and T-tau) and clinical characteristics. Additionally, we investigated age-related changes in complement gene expression within the cerebral cortex of 3xTg mice using single-nucleus RNA sequencing.ResultsComplement protein levels in the CSF of A\u2009+\u2009subjects were significantly lower than those in A- subjects, and complement protein levels were positively correlated with A\u03b2 pathology. Complement protein levels were influenced by factors such as age, gender, body mass index, APOE genotype, and hypertension. Compared with control mice, the complement gene C1qa in microglia was upregulated throughout the entire pathological cycle in 3xTg AD mice.ConclusionsComplement proteins undergo significant changes during the pathogenesis of AD, and alterations in their levels may reflect early pathological changes in AD and warrant further investigation. Notably, our findings suggest that microglia may contribute to complement-mediated pathological processes associated with AD."

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHE), a blood-brain barrier-permeable sesquiterpene lactone with established anti-inflammatory activity, represents a promising but unexplored therapeutic candidate for ALS/FTD. The therapeutic effects of DHE were evaluated in primary mouse and human astrocytes expressing ALS/FTD-associated RNA-binding protein pathology, ALS patient-derived fibroblasts, and primary cortical neurons exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. Drosophila models expressing mutant FUS or TDP-43 in glial cells were used to assess locomotor performance and survival. Molecular analyses examined nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent antioxidant responses, protein aggregation, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory mediator production. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured in patients with sporadic ALS. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy. DHE attenuated astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity and improved neuronal mitochondrial function in conditioned-medium assays. In addition, DHE reduced pathological FUS accumulation in FUS P525L-expressing astrocytes and in stress-challenged patient-derived fibroblasts. In Drosophila models, DHE significantly improved locomotor function and extended survival. Translationally, the chemokines CXCL10, CCL3, and CCL19 were elevated in plasma from patients with ALS, were induced by FUS or TDP-43 pathology in astrocytes, and were suppressed by DHE treatment, supporting the clinical relevance of the inflammatory pathways targeted by DHE. DHE mitigates astrocyte-driven neurotoxicity associated with ALS/FTD-related RNA-binding protein pathology by suppressing inflammatory signaling and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. The consistent therapeutic effects observed across mouse and human cellular models, patient-derived samples, and in vivo Drosophila models support further investigation of DHE as a potential therapeutic strategy for ALS/FTD and highlight astrocyte-mediated signaling pathways as actionable targets in neurodegenerative disease."

Chronic high-fat diet (HFD) consumption disrupts blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, a pivotal pathological event that facilitates neurotoxic infiltration, neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury. Brain pericytes play a central role in maintaining BBB function and are particularly vulnerable to HFD-induced metabolic stress. Loss or dysfunction of pericytes contributes to BBB breakdown. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which is highly expressed in pericytes, is a critical regulator of neurovascular integrity; its downregulation activates the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling cascade, thereby exacerbating BBB permeability. This study aimed to investigate whether the traditional Chinese medicine formula Zexieyin Formula (ZXYF) ameliorates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting pericyte dysfunction. We hypothesized that ZXYF exerts neuroprotective effects by restoring pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, suppressing activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and consequently attenuating hippocampal neuronal damage. Both in vivo and in vitro models were employed to elucidate the underlying neurovascular mechanisms. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 16 weeks to induce cognitive impairment, followed by a 4-week intervention with ZXYF; atorvastatin (ATO) served as a positive control. Cognitive function was evaluated using a battery of behavioral tests. BBB integrity was assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blot analysis of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Cerebrovascular permeability was further evaluated using sodium fluorescein extravasation assays combined with co-localization analysis with the endothelial marker CD31. Pericyte-associated LRP1 expression in the hippocampus was examined by immunofluorescent co-localization of LRP1 with the pericyte marker PDGFR-\u03b2. Activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway in hippocampal tissue was analyzed by Western blotting. In vitro, mouse brain microvascular pericytes (MBVPs) were exposed to free fatty acids (FFA) to model metabolic stress. LRP1 expression and localization were assessed by confocal microscopy, and protein levels of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway were determined by Western blotting. An LRP1-knockdown MBVPs cell line was generated via lentiviral transduction to evaluate LRP1 dependence. HFD-fed mice exhibited pronounced cognitive deficits, which were significantly ameliorated by ZXYF treatment. TEM and Western blot analyses revealed marked BBB disruption in HFD-fed mice, characterized by ultrastructural abnormalities and reduced expression of ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Immunofluorescence demonstrated increased sodium fluorescein leakage in the hippocampus, indicating cerebrovascular damage, which was partially reversed by ZXYF. Mechanistically, confocal imaging showed a significant reduction in LRP1 expression in hippocampal pericytes of HFD-fed mice, accompanied by activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway. ZXYF intervention restored pericyte-associated LRP1 expression and suppressed pathway activation. Consistently, lentivirus-mediated LRP1 knockdown in MBVPs abolished the inhibitory effects of ZXYF on CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling, demonstrating that ZXYF-mediated pathway regulation is LRP1-dependent. This study demonstrates that ZXYF alleviates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting BBB function. ZXYF restores pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, thereby inhibiting the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and protecting hippocampal neurons. These findings identify pericytes and the LRP1/CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 axis as critical therapeutic targets in metabolic cognitive disorders and provide a novel mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective effects of traditional Chinese medicine."

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

However, persistent or dysregulated inflammation contributes significantly to the progression of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advances in RNA biology have identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, as key modulators of inflammatory signaling networks. These RNA molecules regulate key pathways such as NF-\u03baB, STAT3, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT, thereby influencing immune responses, tumor progression, neuronal survival, and cellular stress adaptation. In parallel, RNA-sensing receptors, including Toll-like receptors and RIG-I-like receptors, connect innate immune activation with chronic inflammatory pathology. Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes. In cancer, RNA-mediated feedback loops sustain tumor-promoting inflammation, metastasis, and immune evasion, whereas in neurodegenerative disorders, they contribute to glial activation, neuronal dysfunction, and progressive neuroinflammation. This review examines the mechanistic relationship between RNA dysregulation and inflammation across cancer and neurodegeneration, with particular emphasis on RNA signaling networks, exosomal communication, and targeted RNA-based therapeutics. Collectively, advances in understanding the RNA-inflammation axis may reveal new opportunities for precision diagnostics and next generation therapeutic interventions."

In this review, we synthesize recent advances in the structure, assembly, and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and evaluate its contribution to AD using evidence from human brain tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, and diverse AD animal models. Available data consistently support aberrant NLRP3 activation in AD brain, where it is closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition, tau pathology, glial reactivity, and cognitive decline. We further discuss the cell-type-specific roles of microglia and astrocytes, highlighting microglia as the principal effector cells in inflammasome-associated pathology. Mechanistically, A\u03b2 and tau converge on NLRP3 activation through interconnected pathways involving K+ efflux, lysosomal rupture, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired autophagy.

Currently, effective therapeutic strategies for HIE remain limited and require further exploration. Emerging evidence indicates that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HIE. Nevertheless, clinically effective anti-inflammatory agents specifically targeting HIE are still lacking. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is a biologically significant metabolite involved in various cellular metabolic pathways. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of G3P against hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced brain injury by modulating microglial activation. In LPS-treated microglia, G3P suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, restored mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and promoted a shift toward an anti-inflammatory microglial phenotype. In addition, G3P treatment in zebrafish showed no toxicity and significantly mitigated HI-induced oxidative stress, while suppressing both the recruitment and pro-inflammatory activation of mpeg1\u207a macrophages and lyzc\u207a neutrophils. Moreover, administration of G3P dramatically reduced infarct volume and alleviated neuronal loss in rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Y-maze and Morris water maze tests demonstrated that G3P treatment significantly enhanced spatial learning and memory in HIBD rats. Furthermore, G3P markedly reduced the hyperactivation of microglia and astrocytes in both cortical and hippocampal regions. Mechanistically, Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses revealed that G3P exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclic GMP-AMP synthase -stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signalling pathway and its downstream TBK1/the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling pathway. These findings highlight G3P as a promising therapeutic candidate for HIE."

However, their coupling to amyloid and tau pathology, stage-specific roles, and prognostic utility remain unclear. This systematic review synthesized evidence from 2021 to 2025 on associations of sTREM2 and YKL-40 with AD progression. This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore, and Web of Science were searched (Jan 2021-Dec 2025), with citation searching. Duplicates were removed using EndNote X21 (Clarivate, London, UK). Two independent reviewers screened records using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) criteria, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Original human studies measuring sTREM2 and/or YKL-40 across the AD spectrum were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to heterogeneity in study design and outcomes, a narrative synthesis was performed. Thirteen studies were included: seven on sTREM2, five on YKL-40, and one on both. Six were low risk of bias, and seven were moderate. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 showed a biphasic pattern across disease stages, with early potential neuroprotective associations and later correlation with cortical atrophy and cognitive decline. A sex-APOE \u03b54 interaction was observed, with higher levels in female carriers.

Plasma YKL-40 predicted incident dementia and cognitive decline, and serum YKL-40 differentiated early dementia from controls with good diagnostic performance. sTREM2 and YKL-40 represent biologically distinct but complementary neuroinflammatory pathways in AD. sTREM2 reflects a stage-dependent microglial response, while YKL-40 reflects tau-associated astrocytic activation modulated by vascular factors.

Although amyloid-beta deposition and tau pathology are the defining pathological features of AD, increasing evidence indicates that immune dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation also contribute to disease onset and progression. However, the specific immune pathways involved in AD and their mechanistic relevance remain incompletely understood. The major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) antigen processing and presentation pathway has attracted growing attention because of its classical role in adaptive immunity and its potential functions within the central nervous system. In this narrative review, we summarize current evidence linking AD to the MHC-I, or human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I), pathway from genetic, molecular, cellular, and immunological perspectives. Available studies implicate the broader HLA region in AD susceptibility and suggest that alterations in HLA-I-related loci, antigen-processing machinery, MHC-I-associated molecules, and downstream immune responses may contribute to disease heterogeneity. At the molecular and cellular levels, changes in MHC-I molecules, antigen-processing machinery, and associated signaling pathways have been reported in microglia, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglial lineage cells. In parallel, changes involving \u03b22-microglobulin and the presence of expanded or cytotoxic like CD8+ T cells suggest that adaptive immune mechanisms may participate in AD pathology. Nevertheless, direct evidence demonstrating immune responses specific to particular antigens and restricted by HLA-I in human AD remains limited. Overall, current findings indicate that the MHC-I/HLA-I pathway may represent an important component of AD pathophysiology and contribute to disease progression by influencing immune homeostasis and cellular interactions within the central nervous system. Further studies integrating human tissue analysis, immunopeptidomics, spatial profiling, and paired T cell receptor approaches are needed to clarify its mechanistic, biomarker, and therapeutic significance."

While probiotics show therapeutic potential via the gut brain axis, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of Leuconostoc mesenteroides lysate and its bioactive metabolites in an A\u03b2-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma model. SH-SY5Y cells were challenged with A\u03b2 and treated with L. mesenteroides lysate. Neuroprotective effects were evaluated via ROS accumulation, SOD1, APOE, NOS2, and mitochondrial dynamics (MFF, OPA1) using qPCR and WB. Potential mechanisms of action were explored computationally through integrated genome mining (antiSMASH 7.0), molecular docking (CB-Dock2), and systems pharmacology analysis (STRING/KEGG/R-studio) to identify candidate metabolites and host targets. L. mesenteroides lysate significantly attenuated A\u03b2-induced ROS levels and upregulated SOD1, enhancing antioxidant capacity. The lysate effectively downregulated APOE expression and restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing mitochondrial fission (MFF) and promoting fusion (OPA1). In silico analysis predected phytoene as a primary bioactive metabolite with significant theoretical binding affinity for APOE. Systems biology mapping revealed highly significant enrichment in PPAR signaling and cholesterol metabolism pathways (FDR\u2009<\u200910\u207b\u2075). Specifically, Cellular Component analysis highlighted robust interactions within protein-lipid complexes (FDR\u2009=\u20091.98e-16). L. mesenteroides lysate counteracts A\u03b2-induced neurotoxicity by modulating oxidative stress and restoring mitochondrial bioenergetics. Collectively, our findings suggest a theoretical Phytoene-PPAR-APOE signaling axis as a predictive framework for the observed cellular effects. We emphasize that phytoene represents a predicted candidate metabolite requiring future chemical characterization and biological validation."

Although the primary mechanical insult is typically unilateral, secondary pathological processes can extend beyond the impact site. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of these bilateral alterations remains poorly understood. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous neuromodulator with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising candidate for limiting secondary brain injury. Here, we characterized the bilateral hippocampal response to experimental TBI and evaluated whether early intranasal NPY administration post-TBI attenuates neurovascular and neuroinflammatory alterations while improving behavioral outcomes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a closed-head weight-drop model of TBI and treated intranasally with NPY (100\u00a0\u03bcg/animal) or vehicle 30\u00a0min after injury. Molecular, histological, and behavioral analyses were performed 48\u00a0h and 7\u00a0days post-injury. We concluded that TBI induced distinct spatiotemporal pathological responses in the hippocampi. The ipsilateral hippocampus exhibited early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and astrocytic alterations, whereas the contralateral hippocampus developed a more pronounced and sustained inflammatory response characterized by microglial activation and increased expression of inflammatory and endothelial activation markers. Early intranasal NPY administration attenuated these bilateral pathological alterations by preserving BBB integrity, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, and normalizing glial morphology. These neurobiological effects were accompanied by improvements in spatial working memory and anxiety-related behaviors. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that unilateral TBI induces distinct bilateral secondary injury responses within the hippocampus and identify early intranasal NPY administration as a promising strategy. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and establish the long-term therapeutic potential of NPY."

Here, we generate a chimeric model of AD by transplanting isogenic APOE3 or APOE4 human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived astrocyte progenitors into neonatal AD mice. Donor cells differentiate into human astrocytes that integrate into the cortex and display morphologies consistent with interlaminar-like astrocytes. APOE3 and APOE4 astrocytes differ in expression of APOE, which associates differentially with A\u03b2 plaques. Notably, APOE3 astrocytes are associated with reduced A\u03b2 burden, Tau pathology, and neuritic dystrophy, whereas APOE4 astrocytes exacerbate these processes. They also induce distinct microglial responses: APOE4 astrocytes enhance microglial clustering around A\u03b2 plaques and promote a disease-associated microglia-like state, whereas APOE3 astrocytes reduce clustering and support a more homeostatic profile. These findings highlight a role for human astrocytes and APOE-dependent astrocyte functions in modulating AD-related pathology."

Hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable vascular risk factor, but whether its association with AD differs across APOE genotypes remains unclear. We examined the interaction between HTN and APOE genotypes in relation to incident AD and explored plasma proteomic correlates as potential biological clues. Longitudinal data from 318,923 UK Biobank participants without dementia were analyzed; participants had a mean age of 56.24 years, an APOE \u03b54 frequency of 28.29%, and a median follow-up period of 13 years. Cox proportional hazards models with competing-risk adjustment for death were used to assess additive and multiplicative interactions between HTN and APOE genotypes. Plasma proteomic data from 34,141 participants, covering 2790 proteins, were further analyzed using mediation and bioinformatics approaches. HTN showed a significant multiplicative interaction with APOE \u03b54 status for incident AD (p < .001). The association between HTN and AD risk was strongest among APOE \u03b52 carriers, followed by \u03b533 carriers and \u03b54 carriers, with hazard ratios of 1.570, 1.213, and 1.129, respectively. Among APOE \u03b52 carriers, prosaposin and ganglioside GM2 activator significantly mediated the HTN-AD association, with mediation proportions of 10.46% and 3.37%, respectively. These proteins were enriched in sphingolipid metabolism and lysosomal function. The association between HTN and incident AD varies across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. These findings suggest genotype-dependent heterogeneity in vascular contributions to AD risk. Proteomic results should be interpreted as exploratory biological clues and require further validation. The association between hypertension and incident Alzheimer\u2019s disease differed across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. Multiplicative, but not additive, interaction supports cautious interpretation of clinical implications and does not establish absolute risk scale synergy.

However, it remains unclear whether the existing literature tests PA at the disease stage and in the populations most likely to show benefit. This umbrella review evaluated whether associations between PA and cognitive, fluid biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes differ by apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) genotype across stages of cognitive aging, with particular attention to how study design and baseline cognitive status shape interpretation of the evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were screened for primary studies examining PA in adults classified by baseline cognitive status as cognitively unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. Primary studies reporting APOE \u03b54-stratified outcomes were extracted and qualitatively synthesized by outcome domain, cognitive stage, and study design. Of 2,100 records identified, seven systematic reviews met inclusion criteria, yielding 68 unique primary studies. Favorable associations between PA and cognitive, biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes were most often reported in observational studies of younger or cognitively unimpaired adults. Several studies suggested stronger associations among APOE \u03b54 carriers, including midlife cognitive associations, neuroimaging markers, and vascular/metabolic outcomes such as lipid profiles. In contrast, randomized controlled trials were few, generally enrolled older adults with MCI or dementia, included small APOE \u03b54 subgroups, and reported largely null or mixed genotype-specific effects. The current evidence does not establish a definitive APOE \u03b54-specific preventive effect of PA. Future studies may be most informative if they target earlier-stage, low-active, or metabolically at-risk APOE \u03b54 carriers using objective PA measures and proximal vascular, metabolic, imaging, or blood-based biomarker outcomes."

Sensitive cognitive measures, in addition to biomarkers of amyloid pathology, add to the efficiency of secondary prevention trials by identifying cognitively normal individuals at greatest risk of clinical progression. The Stages of Objective Memory Impairment (SOMI) system, based on the picture version of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with immediate recall (pFCSRT+IR), predicted clinical progression in two observational studies. Our objective was to extend SOMI's findings to clinical trials using participants from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's(A4) study. Eligible participants were cognitively normal, had a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) =0, an elevated amyloid level, the pFCSRT+IR, pTau217, and longitudinal data on the CDR. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of baseline SOMI stage for clinical progression defined by time to the first of 2 consecutive CDRs > 0 or CDR>0 at last assessment. The sample was censored at 4.5 years of follow-up. Of the 911 eligible participants, mean age was 72 years, 59% were female, 62% were APOE \u03b54 carriers, and 37% progressed over 4.5 years. Hazard ratios (HR) for progression were estimated with follow-up time as the timescale and the SOMI 0 group as the reference.

While BMSC-derived small extracellular vesicles (BMSC-Exo) are neuroprotective, their ability to repair mitochondrial deficits is limited. We engineered mitochondrial-enriched sEVs (Exo-Mito) to evaluate their effects on microglia-neuron interactions in a PD-relevant model. BMSC-Exo-Mito were characterized via TEM, NTA, and immunoblotting. Their therapeutic efficacy was assessed using an MPP\u00a0+\u00a0-induced BV2/SH-SY5Y transwell co-culture model.

Exo-Mito significantly restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing ROS, preserving membrane potential, and increasing ATP production.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a lipid transport protein that plays a central role in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins and the transport of lipids within tissues. Among its three major isoforms, only ApoE4 has a unique structural variant that confers significant neurotoxicity not present in the other two subtypes. ApoE4 not only disrupts lipid metabolism but also interferes with neuroimmune regulation and mitochondrial dynamics, thereby impairing synaptic integrity. It is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and accelerates its age of onset. Although developing depression in midlife may be a risk factor for AD, the underlying mechanisms by which ApoE4 influences depression or depression-related behaviors associated with AD remain fragmented, and systematic integrative reviews on this topic are scarce. We integrate existing evidence to elucidate the role of ApoE4 in depression or AD-associated prodromal depressive-like behaviors, with a focus on how its dysfunction disrupts cellular lipid homeostasis, impairs synaptic plasticity, and damages mitochondrial function. We also explored specific therapeutic strategies targeting the pathological defects of ApoE4 that enhance synaptic resilience, and utilizing conformational modulating small molecules such as EZ-482 and ALZ-801 to treat depressive symptoms in early AD. Thus, these findings indicate that ApoE4 may influence the progression of depressive phenotypes through multiple pathological pathways, making it a promising therapeutic target for treating depression comorbid with early AD."

Elevated ratios of pS129-\u03b1-syn and/or oligomeric \u03b1-syn to total \u03b1-syn have also been reported in PD. Future research should clarify differences in protein aggregate formation across various synucleinopathies. Promising advances toward a clinically useful blood-based diagnostic test for PD include the quantification of proteins released from neural-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), such as oligomeric and phosphorylated \u03b1-syn, tau, and disease-associated microRNAs. Given the role of neuroinflammation in PD pathogenesis, inflammatory biomarkers, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1(TNF-\u03b1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), are under active investigation. Furthermore, fluid biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease pathology are being explored for their potential to predict motor and cognitive decline in PD and related synucleinopathies. Salivary EVs hold promise as a non-invasive source of PD biomarkers; however, robust validation in large, well-characterized cohorts is essential to improve the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of PD."

Accumulating evidence suggests that olfactory and visual deficits can precede overt cognitive symptoms and are closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 deposition, pathological tau phosphorylation, and disease progression. Early sensory abnormalities in AD likely arise from converging pathological processes. Among these, chronic neuroinflammation marked by microglial and astrocytic reactivity, inflammasome activation and increased pro-inflammatory mediators might play a pivotal role linking sensory-circuit injury to neurodegeneration. A coherent synthesis of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying early olfactory and visual impairment in AD remains limited, and putative molecular pathways and interventions have not been fully integrated. We aimed to identify AD-related olfactory and visual or retinal abnormalities, combine core inflammatory pathways and their interactions with amyloid-\u03b2 and tau pathology, and summarize actionable targets and candidate interventions along a \"receptor-intracellular signaling-inflammasome-effector\" axis, to inform earlier-stage detection and mechanism-guided intervention in AD."

Critically, rather than presenting all reported metabolic alterations as equivalently established, we introduce an evidence-transparency framework that systematically distinguishes the nature of supporting data-ranging from direct metabolic flux measurements (Seahorse, isotope tracing, lipidomics) and molecular correlates, to genetic/pharmacological perturbations, human tissue validation, and model-specific observations-enabling readers to independently assess the strength of each major conclusion. We further delineate aging as an active analytical dimension, demonstrating how age-related changes in mitochondrial quality control, lipid handling, redox buffering, and glial-immune crosstalk establish a permissive baseline that modifies disease-specific reprogramming trajectories. By integrating analyses of intercellular crosstalk, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and oxidative stress, we illustrate both convergent and divergent metabolic mechanisms across diseases. Finally, we critically assess therapeutic strategies targeting immunometabolism, emphasizing shared translational obstacles including target selectivity, blood-brain barrier penetration, stage-dependent efficacy, and the inherent challenge of pathway pleiotropy. This review provides a conceptually grounded framework for interpreting immunometabolic evidence, navigating the gap between correlative findings and causal mechanisms, and guiding future hypothesis-driven therapeutic design for CNS disorders."

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) possess considerable therapeutic potential; however, their clinical translation is constrained by insufficient bioactivity, poor targeting specificity, and uncontrolled release kinetics. Here, we present a multidimensional engineering strategy that overcomes these barriers synergistically. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-pretreated extracellular vesicles (TEVs) are enriched with anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative factors in their cargo, while Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting. A reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hyaluronic acid (HA)-phenylboronic acid (PBA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel serves as an intelligent depot for sustained, on-demand Ang-TEVs release at the lesion site. This construct, Ang-TEVs@Gel, demonstrated robust lesion accumulation and selective microglial uptake. It delivered miR-664a-3p, which suppressed PIK3CA to attenuate PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling and unleash autophagic flux, reprogramming microglia toward a reparative state that enhanced myelin debris clearance and quelled inflammation. Consequently, axonal regeneration and remyelination were markedly improved, driving significant motor recovery in SCI mice. By integrating preconditioning, active targeting, and stimuli-responsive biomaterials, this strategy provides an elegant blueprint for engineering EV-based therapies to repair the injured central nervous system."

While the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is known to maintain blood-brain barrier integrity, its capacity to decouple the inflammation-metabolism axis remains underexplored. This study investigates whether activation of LRP1 can ameliorate LPS-induced cognitive deficits by recalibrating cerebral glucose metabolism. We utilized an integrative approach combining behavioral phenotyping with targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics to dissect the neuroprotective mechanism of SP16, a selective LRP1 agonist. Cognitive dysfunction was modeled in mice via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) LPS administration, followed by systemic intervention with intraperitoneally (i.p) injected SP16. SP16 treatment preserved cognitive function and prevented neuronal structural atrophy against the LPS injection. Mechanistically, LRP1 activation did more than suppress inflammation; it functionally modulated hippocampal insulin sensitivity and re-established redox homeostasis. Crucially, metabolomic profiling highlighted a restoration of glycolytic flux, centered on the normalization of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) levels. This metabolic reprogramming coincided with the upregulation of the M2-like reparative marker, Mrc1. Our findings identify LRP1 as a regulator that bridges metabolic health and immune resolution. By enforcing a metabolic shift via the FBP node, SP16 effectively guides microglia from a pro-inflammatory state toward tissue repair. Thus, honing in on SP16-mediated metabolic reprogramming presents an opportunity for a therapeutic intervention against neuroinflammation-associated cognitive impairment, offering a more nuanced alternative to broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories."

Here, we show that DAXX, a histone chaperone and RTE repressor, is downregulated during aging, preserves microglia homeostasis and inhibits cellular senescence. Loss of Daxx in young-adult microglia drives a reactive phenotype marked by chromatin decompaction at RTEs, loss of homeostatic markers, cell cycle re-entry and behavioral changes. This state leads to DNA damage and microglial depletion, followed by replacement with DAXX-deficient/Apoehigh microglia displaying features of senescence. Sustained induction of senescence relies on promyelocytic leukemia protein, a DAXX-interacting factor and interferon target. Together, these findings highlight the importance of heterochromatin maintenance in preserving adult microglial identity and plasticity, with broader implications for brain homeostasis, healthy aging and behavior."

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

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

O-GlcNAcylation, a nutrient-sensitive post-translational modification, has emerged as a key regulator of cellular stress and inflammation, yet its role in microglial activation in AD remains unclear. We observed that hippocampal tissue from AD patients exhibits a marked reduction in O-GlcNAcylation, accompanied by enhanced pro-inflammatory M1 microglial polarization, elevated NF-\u03baB signaling, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In an LPS-induced neuroinflammation model exhibiting AD-relevant inflammatory and cognitive features, as well as in in vitro microglial cultures, LPS exposure led to a pronounced decrease in O-GlcNAcylation, particularly within Iba1-positive microglia. Systemic or in vitro treatment with glucosamine (GlcN) effectively restored O-GlcNAc levels, suppressed M1-associated inflammatory pathways, and promoted an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Mechanistically, GlcN enhanced O-GlcNAcylation of NF-\u03baB subunits p65 and c-Rel, limiting their nuclear translocation and downstream pro-inflammatory gene expression. Notably, GlcN treatment ameliorated LPS-induced memory deficits and neuronal loss in mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that O-GlcNAcylation acts as a modulatory regulator of microglial activation and neuroinflammation in AD, and that enhancing O-GlcNAcylation may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to preserve immune homeostasis and neuronal integrity."

Chronic periodontitis has emerged as a modifiable risk factor, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been proposed as important mediators of the periodontal-brain axis. Periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) release bacterial EVs enriched with virulence factors including gingipains, lipopolysaccharide, and regulatory RNAs. These vesicles can enter systemic circulation, interact with the blood-brain barrier, activate microglia, and trigger inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and NLRP3. These processes contribute to neuroinflammation, amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, and tau hyperphosphorylation, hallmarks of AD pathology. Host-derived EVs further contribute to this complex signaling network by facilitating intercellular communication and potentially propagating pathogenic proteins while also carrying protective molecules. Preclinical studies suggest that periodontal-derived vesicles can reach the hippocampus and impair cognition, while clinical studies have detected P. gingivalis DNA and gingipains in AD brain tissues. EV-associated biomarkers in blood or cerebrospinal fluid and engineered therapeutic vesicles represent promising tools for early diagnosis and intervention. Targeting oral microbial EVs may therefore offer novel avenues for AD prevention and therapy."

However, there is increasing evidence suggests that these pathological hallmarks are secondary to deeper metabolic defect in the brain. AD is progressively being recognized as a metabolic synaptic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, impaired cellular energy homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic degeneration. Synaptic plasticity is closely linked to the insulin-sensitive system of glucose utilization, mitochondrial activity, and local protein synthesis that render the synapses highly sensitive to the malfunction of the metabolic system. Recent discoveries highlight the important role of exosomes in mediating communication between neural cells by transferring regulatory miRNAs across neuronal networks. Exosomal miRNAs regulate insulin signaling, synaptic gene expression, mitochondrial function, and neuroinflammation. In AD, exosomal miRNA profiles are significantly altered, with enrichment of miR-29, miR-34a, miR-146a, and miR-21, alongside depletion of synapse-supporting miR-132. These changes contribute to insulin resistance, impaired glucose transporter trafficking, dendritic spine destabilization, and reduced expression of synaptic proteins such as PSD-95 and synaptophysin, ultimately leading to cognitive decline. Importantly, neuron-derived exosomes can cross the blood-brain barrier, making their miRNA cargo promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early AD diagnosis and precision treatment."

It functions through RNA-guided Cas nucleases, directing DNA cleavage and utilizing the native DNA repair machinery for genetic manipulations. Advances in CRISPR technology have significantly enhanced the precision and flexibility of techniques for genome editing. The enzyme Cas9's ability to cut DNA at exact site has revolutionized genome editing by enabling accurate modifications within living eukaryotic cells. This review critically examines recent developments in CRISPR-based technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, base editing, prime editing, and CRISPR-mediated gene regulation. It highlights their rising applications in ageing research, with more emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The review also discusses the major pharmacological and translational challenges that currently limit clinical applications, including inefficient tissue-specific delivery, off-target genome editing, immunogenicity, manufacturing complexity, and long-term safety concerns. Also, recent progress in both, viral and non-viral delivery methods are critically evaluated, including adeno-associated viruses, lentivirus vectors, lipid nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, exosomes, electroporation, and microinjection, is thoroughly discussed to highlight their therapeutic potential and translational limitations. Current studies indicate that CRISPR-based approaches have preclinical potential for targeting important hallmarks of ageing, particularly genomic instability, telomere attrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Other hallmarks of ageing, such as stem cell exhaustion, epigenetic modifications, and microbiome changes, are at earlier stages of development. Overall, this review describes future strategies for developing safe, precise, and clinically translatable CRISPR-based treatments to promote healthy ageing."

Microglia, the CNS resident immune cells, dynamically transition between protective and pathological states during AD progression. Recent advances in single-cell sequencing and metabolomics reveal that microglial roles extend beyond simple M1/M2 polarization. This review synthesizes these advances into a framework integrating microglial plasticity, metabolic reprogramming, and intercellular communication in AD. Methods: We reviewed recent (2020-2026) studies on microglial biology in AD, focusing on DAM (disease-associated microglia) ontogeny, metabolic reprogramming, immune checkpoints, and glial crosstalk. Results: Microglia exhibit spatiotemporal heterogeneity, shifting from protective phagocytic phenotypes (M2, DAM1/2) in early AD to pro-inflammatory and exhausted states (M1, terminal inflammatory microglia [TIM], lipid droplet-accumulating microglia [LDAM]) as pathology advances. Key pathways-TREM2/SYK phagocytosis, Piezo1 mechanotransduction, TAM (Tyro3, Axl, Mer) receptor signaling, and metabolic regulators (HK2, iron, APOE4-driven lipid metabolism)-orchestrate these transitions. Microglia also interact with astrocytes, T cells, and peripheral immune cells via IL-3, complement C3, MHC-I and MHC-II, forming glial-immune networks that modulate A\u03b2 clearance, tau propagation, and synaptic integrity. Conclusions: Precisely targeting microglial functional states, rather than broad immunosuppression, is a promising disease-modifying strategy for AD. Future therapies should integrate metabolic reprogramming, glial network regulation, and immune checkpoint modulation to preserve protective microglial phenotypes in early AD while suppressing pathological activation and exhaustion in advanced disease."

Neutrophils acquired extracellular fatty acids (FAs) via FATP2 and CD36 and stored them as triglycerides (TGs). These lipid-laden neutrophils (LNs) did not utilize FAs for energy production or lipid mediator synthesis but instead transferred lipid cargo to hepatocytes through extracellular vesicles (EVs). Neutrophil-derived EVs were enriched with TGs and lipid metabolism-regulating microRNAs, augmenting TG accumulation in hepatocytes. Peripheral neutrophils isolated from high-fat diet-fed mice exhibited a lipid-laden phenotype, and adoptive transfer of LNs and EVs derived from LNs increased hepatic fat accumulation in recipient mice. In patients with MASLD, circulating neutrophils showed lipid droplet accumulation with increased TGs and enrichment of lipid-associated miRNAs while plasma EVs were also enriched with TGs and lipid-associated miRNAs. Single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral immune cells identified a neutrophil subpopulation characterized by enhanced lipid-handling and EV-related gene expression. These findings identify neutrophil-mediated lipid transfer via EVs as a mechanistic link between innate immune activation and hepatic lipid accumulation during early MASLD."

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

Nrf2 is a master controller of homeostatic functions whose activity is compromised in AD. Most pharmacological Nrf2 activators are electrophilic molecules that covalently modify cysteine residues in the thiol-rich Keap1, and many are Michael acceptors, such as low-molecular-weight (LMW) skin allergens. However, LMW allergens-induced Nrf2 activation in a pharmacological setting has only recently attracted attention, exemplified by the clinical success of Dimethyl Fumarate. Hence, we investigated, for the first time, the potential of the skin allergen Isoeugenol to activate Nrf2 and reverse selected AD hallmarks, both in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo, in AD-specific models. In\u00a0vitro studies were performed using microglia cells exposed to LPS and neuronal cells overexpressing human APP with Swedish mutation, to evaluate Isoeugenol's potential in decreasing neuroinflammation and activating the Nrf2 pathway, respectively. In\u00a0vivo studies were conducted in 10-month-old AD double-transgenic mice (APP/PS1), which were intranasally administered Isougenol. Isoeugenol's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, and its effect on mice cognition were evaluated. The results showed that Isoeugenol (1) activated Nrf2 in AD neuronal cells (likely involving AKT signaling); (2) exhibited antioxidant and Nrf2-dependent anti-inflammatory activity, which was abolished after Nrf2 silencing; (3) exhibited good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles; (4) reduced the levels of A\u03b2 peptides in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo; (5) reduced triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in treated mice; and (6) improved the memory deficits in old mice. This is the first study reporting Isoeugenol's intranasal administration, and on specific AD mice models. Overall, the results reinforce Isoeugenol as a pleiotropic molecule, with great potential for AD treatment."

In humans, even small, silent strokes can trigger these pathologies, which can spread to brain regions far beyond the infarct and persist chronically, ultimately worsening prognosis and increasing the risk for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The cause of this pathology is unknown, but reactive astrocytes and microglia are likely contributors. Here, we describe an optimized short-duration middle cerebral artery occlusion model that produces a clinically relevant small stroke mostly confined to subcortical regions, similar to many silent strokes in humans. We termed this model the mild subcortical infarct (MSCI). We then mapped the spatiotemporal extent of reactive astrocytes and microglia during the sub-acute period (1, 3, and 7\u2009days) following MSCI. We observed that reactive astrogliosis develops more rapidly and spreads more extensively, compared to the reactive microglia response following this small infarct. Microglial depletion resulted in larger infarct sizes but did not prevent reactive astrocytes. Aging mice exposed to MSCI exhibited a comparably strong response of reactive astrocytes and microglia as young mice. Lastly, reactive astrocytes persisted for at least nine months after MSCI. We propose that this mild ischemia model is valuable for examining the chronic effects of subcortical stroke. It may be especially useful for investigating the functional impact of reactive astrogliosis in regions distal from the primary injury site."

Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine, among other drugs, have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy. In addition, FDA-approved intranasal products indicated for central nervous system disorders, including diazepam and midazolam for seizure management, and triptans for migraine, demonstrate the growing clinical relevance of intranasal drug delivery. Both preclinical and clinical studies have reported encouraging outcomes, particularly when intranasal delivery is combined with nanoformulations and specialised delivery devices designed to enhance olfactory deposition. Intranasal administration is non-invasive, painless, and may improve patient adherence while enhancing brain bioavailability. Nevertheless, further well-designed clinical studies are required to establish the long-term safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of this delivery strategy."

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

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

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHE), a blood-brain barrier-permeable sesquiterpene lactone with established anti-inflammatory activity, represents a promising but unexplored therapeutic candidate for ALS/FTD. The therapeutic effects of DHE were evaluated in primary mouse and human astrocytes expressing ALS/FTD-associated RNA-binding protein pathology, ALS patient-derived fibroblasts, and primary cortical neurons exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. Drosophila models expressing mutant FUS or TDP-43 in glial cells were used to assess locomotor performance and survival. Molecular analyses examined nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent antioxidant responses, protein aggregation, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory mediator production. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured in patients with sporadic ALS. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy. DHE attenuated astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity and improved neuronal mitochondrial function in conditioned-medium assays. In addition, DHE reduced pathological FUS accumulation in FUS P525L-expressing astrocytes and in stress-challenged patient-derived fibroblasts. In Drosophila models, DHE significantly improved locomotor function and extended survival. Translationally, the chemokines CXCL10, CCL3, and CCL19 were elevated in plasma from patients with ALS, were induced by FUS or TDP-43 pathology in astrocytes, and were suppressed by DHE treatment, supporting the clinical relevance of the inflammatory pathways targeted by DHE. DHE mitigates astrocyte-driven neurotoxicity associated with ALS/FTD-related RNA-binding protein pathology by suppressing inflammatory signaling and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. The consistent therapeutic effects observed across mouse and human cellular models, patient-derived samples, and in vivo Drosophila models support further investigation of DHE as a potential therapeutic strategy for ALS/FTD and highlight astrocyte-mediated signaling pathways as actionable targets in neurodegenerative disease."

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."

While Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is known for its immunomodulatory properties, its specific role in ALS pathogenesis has not been fully established. This study aimed to characterize the expression patterns and functional significance of SLPI in ALS models. The study utilized SOD1G93A mice to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of SLPI expression in the gastrocnemius muscle, lumbar spinal cord, and serum across different disease stages. In vitro functional assays were conducted using siRNA-mediated knockdown of SLPI in BV2 (microglia), MA (astrocytes), and NSC-34 (motor neurons) cell lines. Additionally, recombinant SLPI protein was applied to LPS-stimulated BV2 cells to investigate its effect on the TLR4/ NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. In SOD1G93A mice, SLPI was significantly upregulated in the gastrocnemius muscle from the pre-symptomatic stage (60 days) through the late stage (130 days). In the lumbar spinal cord, SLPI showed a transient initial increase but declined sharply by the end-stage; a similar significant reduction was observed in late-stage serum levels. In vitro, SLPI knockdown exacerbated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in all three cell types and impaired the antioxidant capacity of NSC-34 motor neurons. Mechanistically, recombinant SLPI attenuated inflammation in BV2 cells by modulating the TLR4/NF-\u03baB pathway. The dynamic changes in SLPI levels suggest its potential relevance as a candidate molecule for disease staging. Meanwhile, its protective effects in regulating inflammation suggest that it could be a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating ALS-associated neuroinflammation."

Targeting A\u03b2-associated inflammaging reframes A\u03b2 not solely as a pathological marker but also as a context-dependent contributor to inflammatory processes during brain aging."

The complement cascade is closely related to AD-associated pathological processes; however, the precise mechanisms underlying its contributions remain incompletely elucidated.ObjectiveWe aim to investigate the changes in complement protein expression during AD progression.MethodsThis study enrolled 285 participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. Participants were classified into biomarker-defined groups based on predefined cutoff values for A\u03b242 and phosphorylated tau (P-tau). We compared cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of complement proteins (C1q, C2, C3, C4a, C5, C6, C8b, and factor B) across these subgroups. Furthermore, we explored their associations with core AD biomarkers (A\u03b242, P-tau, and T-tau) and clinical characteristics. Additionally, we investigated age-related changes in complement gene expression within the cerebral cortex of 3xTg mice using single-nucleus RNA sequencing.ResultsComplement protein levels in the CSF of A\u2009+\u2009subjects were significantly lower than those in A- subjects, and complement protein levels were positively correlated with A\u03b2 pathology. Complement protein levels were influenced by factors such as age, gender, body mass index, APOE genotype, and hypertension. Compared with control mice, the complement gene C1qa in microglia was upregulated throughout the entire pathological cycle in 3xTg AD mice.ConclusionsComplement proteins undergo significant changes during the pathogenesis of AD, and alterations in their levels may reflect early pathological changes in AD and warrant further investigation. Notably, our findings suggest that microglia may contribute to complement-mediated pathological processes associated with AD."

Chronic high-fat diet (HFD) consumption disrupts blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, a pivotal pathological event that facilitates neurotoxic infiltration, neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury. Brain pericytes play a central role in maintaining BBB function and are particularly vulnerable to HFD-induced metabolic stress. Loss or dysfunction of pericytes contributes to BBB breakdown. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which is highly expressed in pericytes, is a critical regulator of neurovascular integrity; its downregulation activates the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling cascade, thereby exacerbating BBB permeability. This study aimed to investigate whether the traditional Chinese medicine formula Zexieyin Formula (ZXYF) ameliorates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting pericyte dysfunction. We hypothesized that ZXYF exerts neuroprotective effects by restoring pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, suppressing activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and consequently attenuating hippocampal neuronal damage. Both in vivo and in vitro models were employed to elucidate the underlying neurovascular mechanisms. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 16 weeks to induce cognitive impairment, followed by a 4-week intervention with ZXYF; atorvastatin (ATO) served as a positive control. Cognitive function was evaluated using a battery of behavioral tests. BBB integrity was assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blot analysis of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Cerebrovascular permeability was further evaluated using sodium fluorescein extravasation assays combined with co-localization analysis with the endothelial marker CD31. Pericyte-associated LRP1 expression in the hippocampus was examined by immunofluorescent co-localization of LRP1 with the pericyte marker PDGFR-\u03b2. Activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway in hippocampal tissue was analyzed by Western blotting. In vitro, mouse brain microvascular pericytes (MBVPs) were exposed to free fatty acids (FFA) to model metabolic stress. LRP1 expression and localization were assessed by confocal microscopy, and protein levels of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway were determined by Western blotting. An LRP1-knockdown MBVPs cell line was generated via lentiviral transduction to evaluate LRP1 dependence. HFD-fed mice exhibited pronounced cognitive deficits, which were significantly ameliorated by ZXYF treatment. TEM and Western blot analyses revealed marked BBB disruption in HFD-fed mice, characterized by ultrastructural abnormalities and reduced expression of ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Immunofluorescence demonstrated increased sodium fluorescein leakage in the hippocampus, indicating cerebrovascular damage, which was partially reversed by ZXYF. Mechanistically, confocal imaging showed a significant reduction in LRP1 expression in hippocampal pericytes of HFD-fed mice, accompanied by activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway. ZXYF intervention restored pericyte-associated LRP1 expression and suppressed pathway activation. Consistently, lentivirus-mediated LRP1 knockdown in MBVPs abolished the inhibitory effects of ZXYF on CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling, demonstrating that ZXYF-mediated pathway regulation is LRP1-dependent. This study demonstrates that ZXYF alleviates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting BBB function. ZXYF restores pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, thereby inhibiting the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and protecting hippocampal neurons. These findings identify pericytes and the LRP1/CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 axis as critical therapeutic targets in metabolic cognitive disorders and provide a novel mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective effects of traditional Chinese medicine."

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

However, persistent or dysregulated inflammation contributes significantly to the progression of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advances in RNA biology have identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, as key modulators of inflammatory signaling networks. These RNA molecules regulate key pathways such as NF-\u03baB, STAT3, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT, thereby influencing immune responses, tumor progression, neuronal survival, and cellular stress adaptation. In parallel, RNA-sensing receptors, including Toll-like receptors and RIG-I-like receptors, connect innate immune activation with chronic inflammatory pathology. Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes. In cancer, RNA-mediated feedback loops sustain tumor-promoting inflammation, metastasis, and immune evasion, whereas in neurodegenerative disorders, they contribute to glial activation, neuronal dysfunction, and progressive neuroinflammation. This review examines the mechanistic relationship between RNA dysregulation and inflammation across cancer and neurodegeneration, with particular emphasis on RNA signaling networks, exosomal communication, and targeted RNA-based therapeutics. Collectively, advances in understanding the RNA-inflammation axis may reveal new opportunities for precision diagnostics and next generation therapeutic interventions."

In this review, we synthesize recent advances in the structure, assembly, and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and evaluate its contribution to AD using evidence from human brain tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, and diverse AD animal models. Available data consistently support aberrant NLRP3 activation in AD brain, where it is closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition, tau pathology, glial reactivity, and cognitive decline. We further discuss the cell-type-specific roles of microglia and astrocytes, highlighting microglia as the principal effector cells in inflammasome-associated pathology.

Currently, effective therapeutic strategies for HIE remain limited and require further exploration. Emerging evidence indicates that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HIE. Nevertheless, clinically effective anti-inflammatory agents specifically targeting HIE are still lacking. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is a biologically significant metabolite involved in various cellular metabolic pathways. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of G3P against hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced brain injury by modulating microglial activation. In LPS-treated microglia, G3P suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, restored mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and promoted a shift toward an anti-inflammatory microglial phenotype. In addition, G3P treatment in zebrafish showed no toxicity and significantly mitigated HI-induced oxidative stress, while suppressing both the recruitment and pro-inflammatory activation of mpeg1\u207a macrophages and lyzc\u207a neutrophils. Moreover, administration of G3P dramatically reduced infarct volume and alleviated neuronal loss in rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Y-maze and Morris water maze tests demonstrated that G3P treatment significantly enhanced spatial learning and memory in HIBD rats. Furthermore, G3P markedly reduced the hyperactivation of microglia and astrocytes in both cortical and hippocampal regions. Mechanistically, Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses revealed that G3P exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclic GMP-AMP synthase -stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signalling pathway and its downstream TBK1/the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling pathway. These findings highlight G3P as a promising therapeutic candidate for HIE."

However, their coupling to amyloid and tau pathology, stage-specific roles, and prognostic utility remain unclear. This systematic review synthesized evidence from 2021 to 2025 on associations of sTREM2 and YKL-40 with AD progression. This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore, and Web of Science were searched (Jan 2021-Dec 2025), with citation searching. Duplicates were removed using EndNote X21 (Clarivate, London, UK). Two independent reviewers screened records using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) criteria, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Original human studies measuring sTREM2 and/or YKL-40 across the AD spectrum were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to heterogeneity in study design and outcomes, a narrative synthesis was performed. Thirteen studies were included: seven on sTREM2, five on YKL-40, and one on both. Six were low risk of bias, and seven were moderate. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 showed a biphasic pattern across disease stages, with early potential neuroprotective associations and later correlation with cortical atrophy and cognitive decline. A sex-APOE \u03b54 interaction was observed, with higher levels in female carriers. YKL-40 showed weak amyloid associations but strong coupling with tau pathology and neurodegeneration, influenced by vascular risk factors. Plasma YKL-40 predicted incident dementia and cognitive decline, and serum YKL-40 differentiated early dementia from controls with good diagnostic performance. sTREM2 and YKL-40 represent biologically distinct but complementary neuroinflammatory pathways in AD. sTREM2 reflects a stage-dependent microglial response, while YKL-40 reflects tau-associated astrocytic activation modulated by vascular factors.

Although amyloid-beta deposition and tau pathology are the defining pathological features of AD, increasing evidence indicates that immune dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation also contribute to disease onset and progression. However, the specific immune pathways involved in AD and their mechanistic relevance remain incompletely understood. The major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) antigen processing and presentation pathway has attracted growing attention because of its classical role in adaptive immunity and its potential functions within the central nervous system. In this narrative review, we summarize current evidence linking AD to the MHC-I, or human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I), pathway from genetic, molecular, cellular, and immunological perspectives. Available studies implicate the broader HLA region in AD susceptibility and suggest that alterations in HLA-I-related loci, antigen-processing machinery, MHC-I-associated molecules, and downstream immune responses may contribute to disease heterogeneity. At the molecular and cellular levels, changes in MHC-I molecules, antigen-processing machinery, and associated signaling pathways have been reported in microglia, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglial lineage cells. In parallel, changes involving \u03b22-microglobulin and the presence of expanded or cytotoxic like CD8+ T cells suggest that adaptive immune mechanisms may participate in AD pathology. Nevertheless, direct evidence demonstrating immune responses specific to particular antigens and restricted by HLA-I in human AD remains limited. Overall, current findings indicate that the MHC-I/HLA-I pathway may represent an important component of AD pathophysiology and contribute to disease progression by influencing immune homeostasis and cellular interactions within the central nervous system. Further studies integrating human tissue analysis, immunopeptidomics, spatial profiling, and paired T cell receptor approaches are needed to clarify its mechanistic, biomarker, and therapeutic significance."

While probiotics show therapeutic potential via the gut brain axis, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of Leuconostoc mesenteroides lysate and its bioactive metabolites in an A\u03b2-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma model. SH-SY5Y cells were challenged with A\u03b2 and treated with L. mesenteroides lysate. Neuroprotective effects were evaluated via ROS accumulation, SOD1, APOE, NOS2, and mitochondrial dynamics (MFF, OPA1) using qPCR and WB. Potential mechanisms of action were explored computationally through integrated genome mining (antiSMASH 7.0), molecular docking (CB-Dock2), and systems pharmacology analysis (STRING/KEGG/R-studio) to identify candidate metabolites and host targets. L. mesenteroides lysate significantly attenuated A\u03b2-induced ROS levels and upregulated SOD1, enhancing antioxidant capacity. The lysate effectively downregulated APOE expression and restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing mitochondrial fission (MFF) and promoting fusion (OPA1). In silico analysis predected phytoene as a primary bioactive metabolite with significant theoretical binding affinity for APOE. Systems biology mapping revealed highly significant enrichment in PPAR signaling and cholesterol metabolism pathways (FDR\u2009<\u200910\u207b\u2075).

Although the primary mechanical insult is typically unilateral, secondary pathological processes can extend beyond the impact site. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of these bilateral alterations remains poorly understood. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous neuromodulator with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising candidate for limiting secondary brain injury. Here, we characterized the bilateral hippocampal response to experimental TBI and evaluated whether early intranasal NPY administration post-TBI attenuates neurovascular and neuroinflammatory alterations while improving behavioral outcomes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a closed-head weight-drop model of TBI and treated intranasally with NPY (100\u00a0\u03bcg/animal) or vehicle 30\u00a0min after injury. Molecular, histological, and behavioral analyses were performed 48\u00a0h and 7\u00a0days post-injury. We concluded that TBI induced distinct spatiotemporal pathological responses in the hippocampi. The ipsilateral hippocampus exhibited early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and astrocytic alterations, whereas the contralateral hippocampus developed a more pronounced and sustained inflammatory response characterized by microglial activation and increased expression of inflammatory and endothelial activation markers. Early intranasal NPY administration attenuated these bilateral pathological alterations by preserving BBB integrity, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, and normalizing glial morphology. These neurobiological effects were accompanied by improvements in spatial working memory and anxiety-related behaviors. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that unilateral TBI induces distinct bilateral secondary injury responses within the hippocampus and identify early intranasal NPY administration as a promising strategy. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and establish the long-term therapeutic potential of NPY."

These findings highlight a role for human astrocytes and APOE-dependent astrocyte functions in modulating AD-related pathology."

Hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable vascular risk factor, but whether its association with AD differs across APOE genotypes remains unclear. We examined the interaction between HTN and APOE genotypes in relation to incident AD and explored plasma proteomic correlates as potential biological clues. Longitudinal data from 318,923 UK Biobank participants without dementia were analyzed; participants had a mean age of 56.24 years, an APOE \u03b54 frequency of 28.29%, and a median follow-up period of 13 years. Cox proportional hazards models with competing-risk adjustment for death were used to assess additive and multiplicative interactions between HTN and APOE genotypes. Plasma proteomic data from 34,141 participants, covering 2790 proteins, were further analyzed using mediation and bioinformatics approaches. HTN showed a significant multiplicative interaction with APOE \u03b54 status for incident AD (p < .001). The association between HTN and AD risk was strongest among APOE \u03b52 carriers, followed by \u03b533 carriers and \u03b54 carriers, with hazard ratios of 1.570, 1.213, and 1.129, respectively. Among APOE \u03b52 carriers, prosaposin and ganglioside GM2 activator significantly mediated the HTN-AD association, with mediation proportions of 10.46% and 3.37%, respectively. These proteins were enriched in sphingolipid metabolism and lysosomal function. The association between HTN and incident AD varies across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. These findings suggest genotype-dependent heterogeneity in vascular contributions to AD risk. Proteomic results should be interpreted as exploratory biological clues and require further validation. The association between hypertension and incident Alzheimer\u2019s disease differed across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. Multiplicative, but not additive, interaction supports cautious interpretation of clinical implications and does not establish absolute risk scale synergy. Exploratory plasma proteomic analyses identified PSAP-, GM2A-, and BRK1-related signals involving sphingolipid, lysosomal, and WAVE-complex biology."

However, it remains unclear whether the existing literature tests PA at the disease stage and in the populations most likely to show benefit. This umbrella review evaluated whether associations between PA and cognitive, fluid biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes differ by apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) genotype across stages of cognitive aging, with particular attention to how study design and baseline cognitive status shape interpretation of the evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were screened for primary studies examining PA in adults classified by baseline cognitive status as cognitively unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. Primary studies reporting APOE \u03b54-stratified outcomes were extracted and qualitatively synthesized by outcome domain, cognitive stage, and study design. Of 2,100 records identified, seven systematic reviews met inclusion criteria, yielding 68 unique primary studies. Favorable associations between PA and cognitive, biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes were most often reported in observational studies of younger or cognitively unimpaired adults. Several studies suggested stronger associations among APOE \u03b54 carriers, including midlife cognitive associations, neuroimaging markers, and vascular/metabolic outcomes such as lipid profiles. In contrast, randomized controlled trials were few, generally enrolled older adults with MCI or dementia, included small APOE \u03b54 subgroups, and reported largely null or mixed genotype-specific effects. The current evidence does not establish a definitive APOE \u03b54-specific preventive effect of PA. Future studies may be most informative if they target earlier-stage, low-active, or metabolically at-risk APOE \u03b54 carriers using objective PA measures and proximal vascular, metabolic, imaging, or blood-based biomarker outcomes."

Sensitive cognitive measures, in addition to biomarkers of amyloid pathology, add to the efficiency of secondary prevention trials by identifying cognitively normal individuals at greatest risk of clinical progression. The Stages of Objective Memory Impairment (SOMI) system, based on the picture version of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with immediate recall (pFCSRT+IR), predicted clinical progression in two observational studies. Our objective was to extend SOMI's findings to clinical trials using participants from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's(A4) study. Eligible participants were cognitively normal, had a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) =0, an elevated amyloid level, the pFCSRT+IR, pTau217, and longitudinal data on the CDR. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of baseline SOMI stage for clinical progression defined by time to the first of 2 consecutive CDRs > 0 or CDR>0 at last assessment.

While BMSC-derived small extracellular vesicles (BMSC-Exo) are neuroprotective, their ability to repair mitochondrial deficits is limited. We engineered mitochondrial-enriched sEVs (Exo-Mito) to evaluate their effects on microglia-neuron interactions in a PD-relevant model. BMSC-Exo-Mito were characterized via TEM, NTA, and immunoblotting. Their therapeutic efficacy was assessed using an MPP\u00a0+\u00a0-induced BV2/SH-SY5Y transwell co-culture model. Assessments included ROS levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP quantification, mitophagy flux, and signaling pathway analysis. Exo-Mito significantly restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing ROS, preserving membrane potential, and increasing ATP production. Mechanistically, Exo-Mito enhanced PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy and PGC-1alpha/TFAM-mediated biogenesis. In BV2 microglia, Exo-Mito suppressed the NF-kappaB/NLRP3 axis, reduced proinflammatory cytokines, and promoted M2 polarization. In SH-SY5Y cells with dopaminergic phenotype, Exo-Mito was associated with reactivated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, preserved tyrosine hydroxylase expression, and inhibited apoptosis. Functionally, Exo-Mito improved SH-SY5Y cell and restored microglial migratory capacity, showing superior efficacy to unmodified BMSC-Exo. Mitochondria-enriched BMSC sEVs protect SH-SY5Y cells by coordinating mitochondrial quality control and modulating neuroinflammation.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a lipid transport protein that plays a central role in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins and the transport of lipids within tissues. Among its three major isoforms, only ApoE4 has a unique structural variant that confers significant neurotoxicity not present in the other two subtypes. ApoE4 not only disrupts lipid metabolism but also interferes with neuroimmune regulation and mitochondrial dynamics, thereby impairing synaptic integrity. It is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and accelerates its age of onset. Although developing depression in midlife may be a risk factor for AD, the underlying mechanisms by which ApoE4 influences depression or depression-related behaviors associated with AD remain fragmented, and systematic integrative reviews on this topic are scarce. We integrate existing evidence to elucidate the role of ApoE4 in depression or AD-associated prodromal depressive-like behaviors, with a focus on how its dysfunction disrupts cellular lipid homeostasis, impairs synaptic plasticity, and damages mitochondrial function. We also explored specific therapeutic strategies targeting the pathological defects of ApoE4 that enhance synaptic resilience, and utilizing conformational modulating small molecules such as EZ-482 and ALZ-801 to treat depressive symptoms in early AD. Thus, these findings indicate that ApoE4 may influence the progression of depressive phenotypes through multiple pathological pathways, making it a promising therapeutic target for treating depression comorbid with early AD."

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer-enclosed membrane vesicles secreted by diverse cell types that mediate communication between the periphery and CNS through the delivery of various bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and non-coding RNA, thereby exerting immunomodulatory functions. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that EVs contribute to immune regulation during the initiation and progression of CNS diseases by modulating pathological processes, including neuroinflammation, pro-inflammatory polarization of glial cells, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis. Previous studies have reported that exercise exerts neuroprotective effects in CNS diseases through EVs-mediated immune regulation. This review summarizes and critically evaluates the biological characteristics of EVs, EV-mediated immunoregulatory mechanisms, the roles of EV-mediated immunoregulation in CNS diseases, and exercise interventions, thereby providing theoretical insights into the beneficial effects of exercise on brain health."

Cerebrospinal fluid \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn) seed amplification assays (SAA) have emerged as highly sensitive and specific biomarkers for the diagnosis of PD. The development of less invasive procedures using biological fluids such as serum or saliva would be more practical for routine clinical use.

Early sensory abnormalities in AD likely arise from converging pathological processes.

Critically, rather than presenting all reported metabolic alterations as equivalently established, we introduce an evidence-transparency framework that systematically distinguishes the nature of supporting data-ranging from direct metabolic flux measurements (Seahorse, isotope tracing, lipidomics) and molecular correlates, to genetic/pharmacological perturbations, human tissue validation, and model-specific observations-enabling readers to independently assess the strength of each major conclusion. We further delineate aging as an active analytical dimension, demonstrating how age-related changes in mitochondrial quality control, lipid handling, redox buffering, and glial-immune crosstalk establish a permissive baseline that modifies disease-specific reprogramming trajectories. By integrating analyses of intercellular crosstalk, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and oxidative stress, we illustrate both convergent and divergent metabolic mechanisms across diseases. Finally, we critically assess therapeutic strategies targeting immunometabolism, emphasizing shared translational obstacles including target selectivity, blood-brain barrier penetration, stage-dependent efficacy, and the inherent challenge of pathway pleiotropy.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) possess considerable therapeutic potential; however, their clinical translation is constrained by insufficient bioactivity, poor targeting specificity, and uncontrolled release kinetics. Here, we present a multidimensional engineering strategy that overcomes these barriers synergistically. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-pretreated extracellular vesicles (TEVs) are enriched with anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative factors in their cargo, while Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting. A reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hyaluronic acid (HA)-phenylboronic acid (PBA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel serves as an intelligent depot for sustained, on-demand Ang-TEVs release at the lesion site. This construct, Ang-TEVs@Gel, demonstrated robust lesion accumulation and selective microglial uptake. It delivered miR-664a-3p, which suppressed PIK3CA to attenuate PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling and unleash autophagic flux, reprogramming microglia toward a reparative state that enhanced myelin debris clearance and quelled inflammation. Consequently, axonal regeneration and remyelination were markedly improved, driving significant motor recovery in SCI mice. By integrating preconditioning, active targeting, and stimuli-responsive biomaterials, this strategy provides an elegant blueprint for engineering EV-based therapies to repair the injured central nervous system."

While the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is known to maintain blood-brain barrier integrity, its capacity to decouple the inflammation-metabolism axis remains underexplored. This study investigates whether activation of LRP1 can ameliorate LPS-induced cognitive deficits by recalibrating cerebral glucose metabolism. We utilized an integrative approach combining behavioral phenotyping with targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics to dissect the neuroprotective mechanism of SP16, a selective LRP1 agonist. Cognitive dysfunction was modeled in mice via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) LPS administration, followed by systemic intervention with intraperitoneally (i.p) injected SP16. SP16 treatment preserved cognitive function and prevented neuronal structural atrophy against the LPS injection. Mechanistically, LRP1 activation did more than suppress inflammation; it functionally modulated hippocampal insulin sensitivity and re-established redox homeostasis. Crucially, metabolomic profiling highlighted a restoration of glycolytic flux, centered on the normalization of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) levels. This metabolic reprogramming coincided with the upregulation of the M2-like reparative marker, Mrc1. Our findings identify LRP1 as a regulator that bridges metabolic health and immune resolution. By enforcing a metabolic shift via the FBP node, SP16 effectively guides microglia from a pro-inflammatory state toward tissue repair. Thus, honing in on SP16-mediated metabolic reprogramming presents an opportunity for a therapeutic intervention against neuroinflammation-associated cognitive impairment, offering a more nuanced alternative to broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories."

Whether such RTE transcription contributes to the microglia activation that is common in aged brains is unknown. Here, we show that DAXX, a histone chaperone and RTE repressor, is downregulated during aging, preserves microglia homeostasis and inhibits cellular senescence. Loss of Daxx in young-adult microglia drives a reactive phenotype marked by chromatin decompaction at RTEs, loss of homeostatic markers, cell cycle re-entry and behavioral changes. This state leads to DNA damage and microglial depletion, followed by replacement with DAXX-deficient/Apoehigh microglia displaying features of senescence. Sustained induction of senescence relies on promyelocytic leukemia protein, a DAXX-interacting factor and interferon target. Together, these findings highlight the importance of heterochromatin maintenance in preserving adult microglial identity and plasticity, with broader implications for brain homeostasis, healthy aging and behavior."

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

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

O-GlcNAcylation, a nutrient-sensitive post-translational modification, has emerged as a key regulator of cellular stress and inflammation, yet its role in microglial activation in AD remains unclear. We observed that hippocampal tissue from AD patients exhibits a marked reduction in O-GlcNAcylation, accompanied by enhanced pro-inflammatory M1 microglial polarization, elevated NF-\u03baB signaling, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In an LPS-induced neuroinflammation model exhibiting AD-relevant inflammatory and cognitive features, as well as in in vitro microglial cultures, LPS exposure led to a pronounced decrease in O-GlcNAcylation, particularly within Iba1-positive microglia. Systemic or in vitro treatment with glucosamine (GlcN) effectively restored O-GlcNAc levels, suppressed M1-associated inflammatory pathways, and promoted an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Mechanistically, GlcN enhanced O-GlcNAcylation of NF-\u03baB subunits p65 and c-Rel, limiting their nuclear translocation and downstream pro-inflammatory gene expression. Notably, GlcN treatment ameliorated LPS-induced memory deficits and neuronal loss in mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that O-GlcNAcylation acts as a modulatory regulator of microglial activation and neuroinflammation in AD, and that enhancing O-GlcNAcylation may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to preserve immune homeostasis and neuronal integrity."

Chronic periodontitis has emerged as a modifiable risk factor, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been proposed as important mediators of the periodontal-brain axis. Periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) release bacterial EVs enriched with virulence factors including gingipains, lipopolysaccharide, and regulatory RNAs. These vesicles can enter systemic circulation, interact with the blood-brain barrier, activate microglia, and trigger inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and NLRP3. These processes contribute to neuroinflammation, amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, and tau hyperphosphorylation, hallmarks of AD pathology. Host-derived EVs further contribute to this complex signaling network by facilitating intercellular communication and potentially propagating pathogenic proteins while also carrying protective molecules. Preclinical studies suggest that periodontal-derived vesicles can reach the hippocampus and impair cognition, while clinical studies have detected P. gingivalis DNA and gingipains in AD brain tissues. EV-associated biomarkers in blood or cerebrospinal fluid and engineered therapeutic vesicles represent promising tools for early diagnosis and intervention. Targeting oral microbial EVs may therefore offer novel avenues for AD prevention and therapy."

However, there is increasing evidence suggests that these pathological hallmarks are secondary to deeper metabolic defect in the brain. AD is progressively being recognized as a metabolic synaptic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, impaired cellular energy homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic degeneration. Synaptic plasticity is closely linked to the insulin-sensitive system of glucose utilization, mitochondrial activity, and local protein synthesis that render the synapses highly sensitive to the malfunction of the metabolic system. Recent discoveries highlight the important role of exosomes in mediating communication between neural cells by transferring regulatory miRNAs across neuronal networks. Exosomal miRNAs regulate insulin signaling, synaptic gene expression, mitochondrial function, and neuroinflammation. In AD, exosomal miRNA profiles are significantly altered, with enrichment of miR-29, miR-34a, miR-146a, and miR-21, alongside depletion of synapse-supporting miR-132. These changes contribute to insulin resistance, impaired glucose transporter trafficking, dendritic spine destabilization, and reduced expression of synaptic proteins such as PSD-95 and synaptophysin, ultimately leading to cognitive decline. Importantly, neuron-derived exosomes can cross the blood-brain barrier, making their miRNA cargo promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early AD diagnosis and precision treatment."

It functions through RNA-guided Cas nucleases, directing DNA cleavage and utilizing the native DNA repair machinery for genetic manipulations. Advances in CRISPR technology have significantly enhanced the precision and flexibility of techniques for genome editing. The enzyme Cas9's ability to cut DNA at exact site has revolutionized genome editing by enabling accurate modifications within living eukaryotic cells. This review critically examines recent developments in CRISPR-based technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, base editing, prime editing, and CRISPR-mediated gene regulation. It highlights their rising applications in ageing research, with more emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The review also discusses the major pharmacological and translational challenges that currently limit clinical applications, including inefficient tissue-specific delivery, off-target genome editing, immunogenicity, manufacturing complexity, and long-term safety concerns. Also, recent progress in both, viral and non-viral delivery methods are critically evaluated, including adeno-associated viruses, lentivirus vectors, lipid nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, exosomes, electroporation, and microinjection, is thoroughly discussed to highlight their therapeutic potential and translational limitations. Current studies indicate that CRISPR-based approaches have preclinical potential for targeting important hallmarks of ageing, particularly genomic instability, telomere attrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Other hallmarks of ageing, such as stem cell exhaustion, epigenetic modifications, and microbiome changes, are at earlier stages of development. Overall, this review describes future strategies for developing safe, precise, and clinically translatable CRISPR-based treatments to promote healthy ageing."

Microglia, the CNS resident immune cells, dynamically transition between protective and pathological states during AD progression. Recent advances in single-cell sequencing and metabolomics reveal that microglial roles extend beyond simple M1/M2 polarization. This review synthesizes these advances into a framework integrating microglial plasticity, metabolic reprogramming, and intercellular communication in AD. Methods: We reviewed recent (2020-2026) studies on microglial biology in AD, focusing on DAM (disease-associated microglia) ontogeny, metabolic reprogramming, immune checkpoints, and glial crosstalk. Results: Microglia exhibit spatiotemporal heterogeneity, shifting from protective phagocytic phenotypes (M2, DAM1/2) in early AD to pro-inflammatory and exhausted states (M1, terminal inflammatory microglia [TIM], lipid droplet-accumulating microglia [LDAM]) as pathology advances. Key pathways-TREM2/SYK phagocytosis, Piezo1 mechanotransduction, TAM (Tyro3, Axl, Mer) receptor signaling, and metabolic regulators (HK2, iron, APOE4-driven lipid metabolism)-orchestrate these transitions. Microglia also interact with astrocytes, T cells, and peripheral immune cells via IL-3, complement C3, MHC-I and MHC-II, forming glial-immune networks that modulate A\u03b2 clearance, tau propagation, and synaptic integrity. Conclusions: Precisely targeting microglial functional states, rather than broad immunosuppression, is a promising disease-modifying strategy for AD. Future therapies should integrate metabolic reprogramming, glial network regulation, and immune checkpoint modulation to preserve protective microglial phenotypes in early AD while suppressing pathological activation and exhaustion in advanced disease."

Here, we investigated the role of neutrophils in hepatic lipid deposition during early MASLD development. Neutrophils acquired extracellular fatty acids (FAs) via FATP2 and CD36 and stored them as triglycerides (TGs). These lipid-laden neutrophils (LNs) did not utilize FAs for energy production or lipid mediator synthesis but instead transferred lipid cargo to hepatocytes through extracellular vesicles (EVs). Neutrophil-derived EVs were enriched with TGs and lipid metabolism-regulating microRNAs, augmenting TG accumulation in hepatocytes. Peripheral neutrophils isolated from high-fat diet-fed mice exhibited a lipid-laden phenotype, and adoptive transfer of LNs and EVs derived from LNs increased hepatic fat accumulation in recipient mice. In patients with MASLD, circulating neutrophils showed lipid droplet accumulation with increased TGs and enrichment of lipid-associated miRNAs while plasma EVs were also enriched with TGs and lipid-associated miRNAs. Single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral immune cells identified a neutrophil subpopulation characterized by enhanced lipid-handling and EV-related gene expression. These findings identify neutrophil-mediated lipid transfer via EVs as a mechanistic link between innate immune activation and hepatic lipid accumulation during early MASLD."

Importantly, complications arising from microvascular dysfunction, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and chronic neuroinflammation have been implicated in driving PASC within the central nervous system (CNS), known as neuro-PASC. Notably, people with HIV (PWH), who suffer from chronic neuroinflammation, BBB impairment, and glial cell dysfunction, collectively known as neuro-HIV, are generally at higher risk of neuro-PASC. The overlap between neuro-PASC and neuro-HIV raises concerns that HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infection may exacerbate neurological dysfunctions among PWH. In this study, using an in-vitro cell culture model, we examine the effects of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 mono- and co-infection in microglia, astrocytes, and pericytes. Our results demonstrated that majority of brain cell types support SARS-CoV-2 replication, in the presence and absence of HIV infection. Furthermore, in both mono- and co-infected cells, there were varying degree of up- and downregulation of SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry factors, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, NRP1, and TRIM28, and inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2.

Nrf2 is a master controller of homeostatic functions whose activity is compromised in AD. Most pharmacological Nrf2 activators are electrophilic molecules that covalently modify cysteine residues in the thiol-rich Keap1, and many are Michael acceptors, such as low-molecular-weight (LMW) skin allergens. However, LMW allergens-induced Nrf2 activation in a pharmacological setting has only recently attracted attention, exemplified by the clinical success of Dimethyl Fumarate. Hence, we investigated, for the first time, the potential of the skin allergen Isoeugenol to activate Nrf2 and reverse selected AD hallmarks, both in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo, in AD-specific models. In\u00a0vitro studies were performed using microglia cells exposed to LPS and neuronal cells overexpressing human APP with Swedish mutation, to evaluate Isoeugenol's potential in decreasing neuroinflammation and activating the Nrf2 pathway, respectively. In\u00a0vivo studies were conducted in 10-month-old AD double-transgenic mice (APP/PS1), which were intranasally administered Isougenol. Isoeugenol's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, and its effect on mice cognition were evaluated.

In humans, even small, silent strokes can trigger these pathologies, which can spread to brain regions far beyond the infarct and persist chronically, ultimately worsening prognosis and increasing the risk for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The cause of this pathology is unknown, but reactive astrocytes and microglia are likely contributors. Here, we describe an optimized short-duration middle cerebral artery occlusion model that produces a clinically relevant small stroke mostly confined to subcortical regions, similar to many silent strokes in humans. We termed this model the mild subcortical infarct (MSCI). We then mapped the spatiotemporal extent of reactive astrocytes and microglia during the sub-acute period (1, 3, and 7\u2009days) following MSCI. We observed that reactive astrogliosis develops more rapidly and spreads more extensively, compared to the reactive microglia response following this small infarct. Microglial depletion resulted in larger infarct sizes but did not prevent reactive astrocytes. Aging mice exposed to MSCI exhibited a comparably strong response of reactive astrocytes and microglia as young mice. Lastly, reactive astrocytes persisted for at least nine months after MSCI. We propose that this mild ischemia model is valuable for examining the chronic effects of subcortical stroke. It may be especially useful for investigating the functional impact of reactive astrogliosis in regions distal from the primary injury site."

Glial cells, comprising microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, serve as key immune regulators in the central nervous system, where they are essential for maintaining ALP homeostasis, promoting proteostasis, and modulating neuroinflammatory responses. Here, we systematically review the regulatory roles of glial ALP in AD pathology, emphasizing its involvement in amyloid accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic impairment, white matter damage, and mitochondrial as well as other organelle dysfunction, and provide an in-depth analysis of key signaling pathways including TFEB, mTOR, and NLRP3. Furthermore, we outline therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring lysosomal function, regulating autophagic flux, and suppressing inflammation, along with a discussion of the multi-target regulatory potential of acupuncture and natural bioactive agents. We also highlight emerging ALP-associated biomarkers and their potential utility in early diagnosis and treatment response assessment. The objective of this review is to uncover the mechanistic interplay between glial ALP dysregulation and the pathological cascade of AD, offering a conceptual framework for the development of novel therapeutics that integrate neuroprotection with immune modulation."

Physical exercise is protective against several of these features, but how its peripheral effects produce coordinated changes in the brain remains only partly defined. Soluble exerkines explain part of this benefit, but they act individually, do not protect labile cargo such as RNA, and carry little information about their cell of origin. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer a complementary mechanism. By packaging diverse cargo within a membrane, they co-deliver several signals at once, protect labile cargo in transit, and carry a profile that partly reflects the state and origin of the releasing cell. In this review, we develop a multi-organ signaling framework in which exercise-conditioned EVs link peripheral exercise adaptation to AD-related brain pathology. We examine how exercise reshapes EV biogenesis, the circulating EV pool, and EV engagement with the neurovascular interface. We then map how exercise-conditioned EVs intersect with amyloid aggregation and clearance, tau propagation, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and synaptic and neurogenic resilience, and which tissues contribute to the exercise-responsive EV pool. Several bottlenecks keep the field at the level of association rather than causation, including cargo heterogeneity, uncertain tissue-of-origin attribution, and the gap between describing cargo and demonstrating its function. This framework outlines a realistic, staged route from current associative evidence toward clinical application, in which exercise-conditioned EVs serve first as biomarkers of exercise responsiveness and later as engineered therapeutic platforms for AD."

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) is highly enriched in central resident microglia; it is also expressed by border-associated macrophages and lesion-infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages, rather than being restricted to parenchymal microglia, acting as a key membrane receptor regulating microglial immune balance, lipid transport, lysosomal degradation and cell polarization. Existing studies demonstrate that TREM2 binds various ligands including myelin lipid debris, apolipoprotein E (APOE) and apoptotic cell components, then activates multiple DNAX-activating protein of 12\u00a0kDa (DAP12)-dependent signaling cascades: spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC\u03b32), beta-catenin and transcription factor EB (TFEB). These pathways jointly clear myelin debris, remodel cholesterol circulation, restrain pro-inflammatory microenvironment and promote oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPCs) differentiation, exerting bidirectional functions in physiological myelin homeostasis, acute injury response and chronic repair. This narrative review summarizes TREM2's gene and protein structure, ligand recognition modes and full signal transduction network. It illustrates the molecular mechanisms of TREM2 in myelin maintenance, debris clearance and regeneration, compares its distinct pathological roles in various demyelinating diseases, and concludes translational strategies including TREM2 agonism, downstream pathway intervention and biomarker exploitation. Furthermore, this narrative review analyzes unsolved core scientific issues and puts forward research routes for mechanistic research and clinical transformation, offering systematic theoretical basis for targeted drug development against demyelinating encephalopathies."

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

Extracellular communication through astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) has received growing interest in association with astrocytopathies. However, to what extent ADEVs contribute to NMOSD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, through proteomic screening of patient-derived ADEVs, we observed an increase in apolipoprotein E (APOE)-rich ADEVs in patients with AQP4-Abs-positive NMOSD. Intracerebral injection of the APOE-mimetic peptide APOE130-149 attenuated microglial reactivity, neuroinflammation, and brain lesions in a mouse model of NMOSD. The protective effect of APOE in NMOSD pathogenesis was further established by the exacerbated lesion volume in APOE-deficient mice, which could be rescued by exogenous APOE administration. Genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. The transfusion ADEVs derived from patients with NMOSD and healthy controls also alleviated astrocyte loss, reactive microgliosis, and demyelination in NMOSD mice. The slightly larger beneficial effect of patient-derived ADEVs as compared to ADEVs from healthy controls was further augmented in APOE-/- mice. These results indicate that APOE from astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles could mediate disease-modifying astrocyte-microglia cross-talk in NMOSD."

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

Anti-aging dietary restriction (DR) and intermittent fasting (IF) alter redox states that may contribute to their longevity effects. Pyruvate/lactate and acetoacetate/beta-hydroxybutyrate are indicators of the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial [NAD+]/[NADH], respectively, while the malate/pyruvate and isocitrate/alpha-ketoglutarate are indicators of the cytoplasmic [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Using these metabolite-pair ratios as redox indicators, the C57BL/6J mouse brain showed opposite redox changes with aging to the C57BL/6N mouse brain and human brain in the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Fasting caused universal reductive shifts in the brain cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+] and mitochondrial [NAD+]/[NADH]. The reductive shift in the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] with fasting was opposite to that occurring with anti-aging ketone ester supplementation or ketogenic diet, which have been shown to cause an oxidative shift of the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH], but a reductive shift of the cerebral cortical cytoplasmic [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Several pathways that influence redox metabolism and aging are discussed, including fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, the citric acid cycle, fatty acid beta-oxidation, glutaminolysis, the malate-aspartate shuttle, the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, the citrate-pyruvate shuttle, and the citrate-alpha-ketoglutarate shuttle. Brain proteome, brain single-cell RNA-Seq, and brain-region-specific bulk RNA-Seq data sets of aging and DR were examined, focusing on the pathways listed above to determine how they might contribute to the redox changes. Intermittent fasting has been shown to induce cyclic metabolic switching that contributes to neuroprotection and other health benefits resulting in delayed aging, while cyclic reductive redox shifts, especially in mitochondria, may be a driver of the beneficial effects."

To identify APOE \u03b54-associated metabolic factors related to AD risk and to provide preliminary insights into their biological and nutritional context. We leveraged multi-omics analyses across two independent cohorts to characterize biomarkers associated with AD. The effects of metabolite\u00a0\u00d7\u00a0APOE \u03b54 interactions were tested on incident AD and the \u03b54-specific metabolic signatures were pinpointed. Multimodal analyses were used to test the underlying mechanisms, including neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and PET biomarkers within the A/T/N framework, as well as plasma proteomics combined with bioinformatics enrichment analyses. Across both cohorts, valine emerged as the only metabolite associated with a reduced risk of incident AD specifically among APOE \u03b54 carriers (P\u00a0<\u00a00.005). Significant interaction effects between valine and APOE \u03b54 were detected in both cohorts (P for meta-analyses\u00a0<\u00a00.005). Higher levels of valine were associated with greater total white matter and posterior cingulate cortex volumes, as well as with lower levels of CSF tau proteins. Higher valine levels also predicted a slower decline in FDG-PET metabolism. No association was found between valine and A\u03b2. Mediation analyses of plasma proteomic data suggested statistically significant mediation effects involving GFAP, NEFL, and APOE (P\u00a0<\u00a02\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010-16). Valine is a metabolite associated with lower AD risk in APOE \u03b54 carriers, with potential associations with tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation-related processes.

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

Moreover, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) severely restricts drug penetration into the injured brain, limiting the translation of promising neuroprotective agents into clinical success.

By transferring a diverse cargo of bioactive molecules, including proteins, RNAs, and organelles, EVs influence recipient cell behavior and overall brain function. In neurodegenerative conditions, glial EVs can either propagate pathogenic signals or deliver neuroprotective and regenerative cues, depending on their cellular origin and molecular composition. This context-dependent heterogeneity highlights the need for physiologically relevant human models to investigate EVs biology. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived glial models provide a disease-relevant platform, as they recapitulate key pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). When further integrated with brain organoid platforms, these iPSC-based systems enable the generation of three-dimensional environments that closely resemble in vivo EVs dynamics. Importantly, glial EVs can modulate cellular pathways involved in neuronal survival and function. Indeed, their potential to interact with and, under specific experimental conditions, traverse the blood-brain barrier (BBB) has contributed to growing interest in their application for biomarker discovery and therapeutic development. Engineered and patient-specific EVs derived from iPSCs are emerging as promising tools for targeted, cell type-specific, therapeutic approaches, although their clinical applicability still requires further validation.

Extracellular Hsp90\u03b1 (eHsp90\u03b1) and the ER stress marker GRP78 have been implicated in vascular injury; however, their roles in DAS remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 with DAS and explore the underlying mechanisms. We recruited patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with DAS. We then compared the levels and potential efficacies of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 between the two groups. We subsequently conducted cytological experiments and experiments with ApoE-/-\u00a0mice to further explore the underlying mechanisms involved. The serological analysis revealed that the levels of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 were significantly higher in the DAS group than in the DM group and that the eHsp90\u03b1 level was correlated with GRP78 level. The association and preliminary discriminative performance of the combination of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 levels were appeared higher than that of either marker alone. In addition, GRP78 plays a mediating role in the relationship between eHsp90\u03b1 and DAS. Furthermore, the expression of GRP78 was higher in both diabetic ApoE-/- mice and DAS patients than in control ApoE-/- mice and AS patients. Cytological experiments revealed that eHsp90\u03b1 induced endothelial barrier dysfunction mediated by ER stress via the LRP1 receptor. Our findings suggest that eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 are associated with diabetic atherosclerosis and may be associated biomarkers with potential discriminative value, although further validation is required. The eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. However, further large-scale and longitudinal studies are required to validate these findings."

In this study, we investigated multiple immune-related pathways implicated in the management and clearance of A\u03b2 within circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and serum from individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) who later progressed to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A cytokine panel and the levels of A\u03b21-42 were quantified in both cEVs and serum from a longitudinally followed cohort of elderly with SCD, using mesoscale and Luminex technologies.

Interestingly, combining M-CSF and cEVs A\u03b21-42 with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) cognitive scores provided an excellent classification for SCD converted to MCI up to 2 years prior to clinical diagnosis. Our findings support the potential value of integrating serum M-CSF levels with RAVLT performance and cEVs A\u03b21-42 concentrations into a multimodal biomarker panel for longitudinal monitoring of progressive neurocognitive impairment."

However, effective therapeutic strategies are still lacking. Imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Given the established link between dysregulated lipid metabolism and amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) aggregation, we investigated whether chicoric acid (CA), a dietary polyphenol with reported lipid-modulating properties, could mitigate A\u03b2 pathology by modulating lipid metabolism in 5xFAD transgenic mice. In the brain, we found that CA upregulated the expression of liver X receptor Beta (LXR-\u03b2) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in 5xFAD mice. Through this pathway, it promoted apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipidation and enhanced the expression of A\u03b2-clearance proteins (IDE and LRP1). Notably, in the periphery, CA reshaped the gut microbiota in 5xFAD mice, which reduced serum neurotoxic bile acid levels and preserved the integrity of the peripheral A\u03b2 clearance system. Together, our study first demonstrated that CA globally regulated lipid homeostasis to alleviate A\u03b2 pathology by coordinating cerebral cholesterol efflux with peripheral bile acid metabolism. The findings facilitated exploring active compounds from traditional Chinese medicine that may reduce A\u03b2 deposition by targeting lipid metabolism pathways."

Key symptoms include extracellular amyloid \u03b2 (A\u03b2) accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and BBB disruption. Integrative solutions are needed because conventional medicines merely relieve symptoms and cannot stop disease progression. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) plays a crucial role in A\u03b2 efflux, tau control, neuroinflammatory signaling, and neurovascular unit maintenance, making it a promising but unexplored therapeutic target. In AD and aging, LRP1 deficiency worsens clearance, vascular impairment, and neurodegeneration. Ligand-functionalized nanocarriers, antibodies, and gene manipulation show preclinical promise, but lower receptor expression, systemic off-target effects, and BBB penetration are challenges. Recent advances suggest innovative strategies, such as upregulating hepatic LRP1 for peripheral A\u03b2 storage, modulating cofactors like ANKS1A (ankyrin repeat and SAM domain containing protein 1A) for receptor trafficking, using engineered nanoparticles or extracellular vesicles as A\u03b2 decoys, preventing negative apolipoprotein E: ApoE4 and LRP1 interactions, and promoting neuroprotective pathways through LRP1 modulation. Endothelial-targeted gene therapy and dual transport rebalancing, which increases LRP1-mediated efflux and decreases RAGE-driven influx, are complementary. These precision strategies reposition LRP1 as a multifaceted therapeutic gateway rather than a clearance receptor, combining biomarker-driven patient stratification with next-generation delivery systems to transform AD disease-modifying therapies."

Interestingly, in vitro studies showed that PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations does not affect inflammation burden in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells, whereas it increases the content of exosomal miR-10b secreted by macrophages that have engulfed apoptotic cells (efferocytic macrophages). This study was aimed at investigating whether the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of PCA in arterial endothelial cells was due to the uptake of efferocytic macrophage exosomal miR-10b. A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b."

However, the regulatory role of MSCs in inflammatory atherosclerosis and the molecular mechanisms underlying their anti-inflammatory properties have largely remained elusive. Differential ultracentrifugation was performed to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs). An ApoE knockout atherosclerotic animal model was employed to investigate the regulatory effect of MenSC-EVs on inflammatory atherosclerosis. miRNA microarray screening analyses were conducted to identify potential effectors in MenSC-EVs that play a key role in the suppression of atherosclerosis mediated by the EVs. We demonstrated the remarkable potential of MenSC-EVs in alleviating atherosclerosis through the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. miR-574-5p serves as a crucial effector molecule transported by MenSC-EVs, suppressing endothelial inflammation and promoting nitric oxide production.

Franco, used in traditional medicine, contains neuroactive compounds. This study evaluated the effects of P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs in rodent models of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. EVs were isolated by differential ultracentrifugation, characterized by electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis, and their bioactive components identified by GC -MS. Uptake was assessed in PC12 cells. Behavioral and biochemical effects were tested in mice subjected to chronic restraint stress (CRS), chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia. Key outcomes included social interaction, sucrose preference, Morris water maze performance, sleep parameters, neurotransmitter levels (5-HT, GABA), and inflammatory markers. P. orientalis EVs exhibited bilayer vesicle morphology (\u223c100 nm) and contained abundant volatile compounds, particularly \u03b1-pinene. They were internalized by PC12 cells and reduced corticosterone-induced injury. In vivo, intranasal EV administration alleviated anxiety-like behaviors in CRS mice, restored sucrose preference and cognition in CUMS mice, and improved sleep onset and duration in PCPA-induced insomnia. Across models, EVs normalized serum and hippocampal 5-HT and GABA levels, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and increased TGF-\u03b2 expression. P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs exert significant anxiolytic, antidepressant, and soporific effects through multimodal mechanisms involving neurotransmitter regulation and anti-inflammatory activity. Intranasal administration offers an effective strategy to bypass the blood -brain barrier, supporting the translational potential of plant-EVs as novel therapeutics for psychiatric disorders."

The aim of this study was to map the distributions of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) and other synaptic proteins in the brain and the brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) of AD patients, analyze their associations with A\u03b2, tau, and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 allele, and investigate the biological role of SV2A.

The SV2A levels in BDEVs and brain tissues were positively correlated with SYP levels and negatively correlated with A\u03b2 and phospho-tau levels. Reductions in SV2A were associated with decreased levels of other synaptic proteins, such as synaptotagmins, GAP43, and SNAP25. SV2A emerged as a central hub with interactions with proteins from subnetworks related to synaptic vesicle formation and fusion. SV2A levels in brain tissues and BDEVs are reduced in AD patients, particularly in those carrying the APOE \u03b54 allele, and are correlated with A\u03b2 and tau pathologies. SV2A may serve as a valuable biomarker for monitoring synaptic dysfunction and progression in AD."

Disrupting their homeostatic function has detrimental effects on neuronal circuit health. Neuroinflammation contributes to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), with several microglial activation genes linked to increased risk for these conditions. Inflammatory microglia alter neuronal excitability, inducing metabolic strain. Interestingly, expression of APOE4, the strongest genetic risk factor for AD, affects both microglial activation and neuronal excitability, highlighting the interplay between lipid metabolism, inflammation, and neuronal function. It remains unclear how microglial inflammatory state is conveyed to neurons to affect circuit function and whether APOE4 expression alters this intercellular communication. Here, we use a reductionist model of human iPSC-derived microglial and neuronal monocultures to dissect how the APOE genotype in each cell type independently contributes to microglial regulation of neuronal activity during inflammation. Conditioned media (CM) from LPS-stimulated microglia increased neuronal network activity, assessed by calcium imaging, with APOE4 microglial CM driving greater neuronal activity than APOE3 CM. Both APOE3 and APOE4 neurons increase network activity in response to CM treatments, while APOE4 neurons uniquely increase presynaptic puncta in response to APOE4 microglial CM. CM-derived exosomes from LPS-stimulated microglia can mediate increases to network activity. Finally, increased network activity is accompanied by increased lipid droplet (LD) metabolism, and blocking LD metabolism abolishes network activity. These findings illuminate how microglia-to-neuron communication drives inflammation-induced changes in neuronal circuit function, demonstrate a role for neuronal LDs in network activity, and support a potential mechanism through which APOE4 increases neuronal excitability."

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

Microglia sit at the centre of this therapeutic gap. Single-nucleus and spatial profiling has resolved several AD-associated microglial states, yet state labels remain descriptive and do not explain why adaptive engagement becomes maladaptive. We frame AD-relevant microglial dysfunction as checkpoint collapse: progressive failure of regulatory nodes that coordinate lipid sensing, lysosomal competence, neuronal restraint, and inflammatory threshold control. The central nodes are TREM2-mediated lipid and apolipoprotein sensing, progranulin-associated lysosomal regulation, CX3CR1-dependent neuron-microglia restraint, and CD33/Siglec-3 inhibitory tone. When these controls destabilise, downstream pathology can be organised around three coupled effector axes: a lipid axis centred on APOE-biased cholesterol trafficking, ACSL1/DGAT2-driven lipid-droplet accumulation, and impaired lysosomal flux; an iron/ferroptosis axis involving labile iron, phospholipid peroxidation, and insufficient GPX4/FSP1 defences; and an inflammation/complement axis linking NLRP3 activation, type-I interferon signalling, and C1q/C3-dependent synaptic engulfment to tau pathology and synapse loss. White-matter injury, astrocyte-microglia crosstalk, and cGAS-STING-linked senescence are integrated as cross-axis amplifiers. This framework is proposed as a hypothesis-generating scaffold for biomarker-informed translational studies, rather than as a validated clinical stratification system. It may help organise stage-aware therapeutic hypotheses, including regulatory-node preservation in early disease, lipid-handling restoration and ferroptosis control at intermediate stages, and complement- or senescence-directed modulation in later disease. Current glial, iron, inflammatory, and imaging biomarkers remain insufficiently specific to assign individual patients reliably to discrete pathological axes in clinical practice."

APOE is involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, phospholipids and other lipids, synaptic function and neuroinflammation in the CNS. One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2). The APOE gene exists in three common isoforms: APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4, with distinct structural and functional properties. The three isoforms of APOE vary in their potential to bind and transport lipids and cholesterol, receptor affinity and clearance of A\u03b2. Among the three isoforms, APOE4 is one of the strongest risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while APOE2 exerts a protective role highlighting the functional divergence among isoforms in CNS physiology. The functions of APOE are exerted through binding of APOE with members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, including LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, and APOER2. So, approaches that potentiate the protective effects of APOE, like APOE mimetics, ABCA1 agonists, targeting APOE receptors like LDLR, LRP1, APOER2, and TREM2, might offer significant therapeutic benefits in Alzheimer's disease."

U87 MG cells were transiently transfected with apoE3-or apoE4-expressing plasmids, or transfected with apoE-targeting siRNA in the corresponding knockdown experiments. Phospho-NF-\u03baB p65 (Ser536), phospho-mTOR (Ser2448), phospho-4E-BP1 (Ser65), and phospho-tau (Ser202/Thr205) were assessed by Western blotting, and TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA levels were measured by RT-qPCR. Overexpression of both isoforms increased inflammatory and mTORC1-related signaling relative to vector control. Compared with apoE3, apoE4 overexpression was associated with higher TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA expression and higher phospho-tau levels, while differences in phospho-mTOR and phospho-4E-BP1 were not significant. Knockdown reduced these markers in both groups, with lower residual phospho-NF-\u03baB p65, TNF\u03b1, IL1\u03b2, phospho-4E-BP1, and phospho-tau levels in the apoE3-knockdown condition than in the apoE4-knockdown condition. Because apoE4 protein expression was higher than apoE3 in the transient overexpression system, between-isoform differences in the gain-of-function arm should be interpreted cautiously. These cell-based findings support an association between apoE isoforms and differential inflammatory and tau-related signaling linked to mTORC1. However, direct pharmacological or genetic validation of mTORC1 dependency was not performed, so the mechanistic relationship should be interpreted as suggestive rather than definitive."

The APOE4 allele represents one of the most prominent genetic risk factors. In this study, we investigated the impact of APOE4 on the cholinergic neuronal development and on the neuronal inflammatory response to TNF-\u03b1 stimulation. To address this, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) carrying a homozygous APOE4 genotype and an isogenic APOE3 control were differentiated into cholinergic-like induced neurons (iNs) by LHX8 overexpression. APOE4 was associated with accelerated early neuronal differentiation, as reflected by earlier downregulation of the progenitor marker Nestin. However, delayed expression of synaptophysin indicated impaired synaptic maturation. Functionally, APOE3 iNs exhibited a robust but temporally regulated response to TNF-\u03b1, whereas APOE4 iNs were characterized by a delayed yet sustained induction of inflammatory signaling. Moreover, APOE4 iNs displayed an enhanced stress-associated transcriptional response at early differentiation stages. Collectively, these findings suggest that APOE4 influences both neuronal development and the timing and persistence of inflammatory responses, potentially predisposing cholinergic neurons to later dysfunction in AD."

The present review article evaluated emerging A\u03b2-directed therapies, focusing on mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety, and regulatory progress. The recent approvals of lecanemab and donanemab offered the first convincing evidence that reducing A\u03b2 burden can modestly slow cognitive decline in early AD. Beyond these first-generation monoclonal antibodies, the pipeline includes next-generation antibodies with enhanced brain penetration (trontinemab), therapies designed also for presymptomatic intervention (remternetug tested for secondary prevention), and novel approaches targeting galectin-3 to disrupt A\u03b2 aggregation and neuroinflammation. Active immunotherapies like UB-311 and small molecules such as ALZ-801, avoiding amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), broaden the therapeutic horizon with potentially safer and more accessible options, but with no proven efficacy. Clinical benefits for A\u03b2-centric therapies are modest, ARIA poses ongoing safety concerns, and high costs coupled with intensive monitoring limit accessibility. Regulators have begun to restrict approval to genetically defined subgroups according to apolipoprotein E genotype, underscoring the need for precision medicine. Therefore, while A\u03b2-centric therapies are incremental, they represent essential steps toward combination and precision strategies in the treatment of AD. Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) is a growing global health problem, with no cure currently available. Most existing treatments only relieve symptoms and do not slow the underlying disease process. One of the earliest and most important biological changes in AD is the buildup of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), a protein that forms plaques in the brain. For this reason, many new drugs have been designed to remove A\u03b2 or prevent it from accumulating. In recent years, several A\u03b2-targeting therapies have shown that they can successfully reduce amyloid plaques in the brain. These include monoclonal antibodies given by infusion or injection, vaccines that stimulate the immune system, and oral drugs designed to block the formation of toxic A\u03b2 species. Some of these treatments have reached late-stage clinical trials, and a few have received regulatory approval in certain regions. However, while these drugs clearly reduce amyloid levels, their effects on memory and daily functioning are modest, especially when used after symptoms have already appeared. In addition, treatment can be associated with side effects such as brain swelling or small brain bleeds, requiring frequent medical monitoring, costly for healthcare systems. Most evidence so far comes from carefully controlled randomized clinical trials, and real-world experience remains limited. Current research is therefore shifting toward earlier treatment, including prevention in people at high risk, improved drug delivery methods, and combination approaches that also target other disease processes such as tau pathology, inflammation, and vascular or metabolic changes. New blood-based biomarkers are also making it easier to diagnose AD earlier and to select patients more precisely. Overall, A\u03b2\u2013centered therapies represent an important scientific advance, but they are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Future progress in AD treatment will depend on better understanding how amyloid may interact with other brain changes, identifying the right patients at the right time, and developing safer, more affordable, and more comprehensive therapeutic strategies."

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor composed of HIF-1\u03b1 and HIF-1\u03b2 subunits which, under hypoxic conditions, dimerize and activate hypoxia response element (HRE)-containing genes. HIF-1\u03b1 has been reported to be implicated in neuroinflammation, a key feature of AD. This study evaluated HIF1A and its negative regulator HIF1AN gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 308 cognitively healthy older individuals (controls) and 83 AD patients, and their associations with gene expression of HRE-containing inflammatory genes in PBMCs and corresponding protein concentrations in plasma. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from AD patients showed lower gene expression of both HIF1A and HIF1AN compared with controls, and this reduction was associated with higher odds of AD. In the overall cohort, after adjustment for age, sex, Apolipoprotein E \u03b54 status, and diagnosis, HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1), IL-1B, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) gene expression, whereas HIF1AN gene expression was negatively associated with IL-6, IL-1B, and TREM-1 gene expression. Furthermore, HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with plasma IL-1\u03b2 and soluble TREM-1 concentrations, while HIF1AN gene expression was negatively associated with IL-10 concentrations. Overall, these findings support the use of peripheral cells to investigate HIF-1 pathway dysregulation in AD and suggest that altered HIF-1\u03b1 signaling may reflect impaired cellular responsiveness linked to neuroinflammatory processes."

The current study rigorously investigated whether treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs could also alleviate several other neuropathological changes contributing to progressive cognitive decline. Three-month-old male and female 5xFAD mice received IN administrations of either hiPSC-NSC-EVs (~30\u2009\u00d7\u2009109/week for 2\u2009weeks) or vehicle. Two months later, the hippocampus of both male and female 5xFAD mice treated with the vehicle showed increased levels of markers of oxidative stress and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, altered expression of genes and/or proteins linked to mitochondria and autophagy, and diminished neurogenesis. In contrast, treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs restored levels of oxidative stress markers and the expression of genes and/or proteins linked to various mitochondrial complexes, mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, and mitophagy closer to na\u00efve control levels, indicating alleviation of mitochondrial impairments. These improvements were accompanied by reduced phosphorylated mTOR levels and multiple autophagy markers matching those in na\u00efve controls, suggesting a dampening of mTOR signaling and an enhancement of autophagy. Furthermore, mice treated with hiPSC-NSC-EVs showed increased hippocampal neurogenesis, associated with enhanced brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling. Overall, the results highlight that IN administrations of hiPSC-NSC-EVs in the early stages of AD can help slow the progression of multiple neuropathological changes associated with cognitive decline in 5xFAD mice and potentially AD."

In the PS19 cortex, mRNA sequencing identified 917 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with microglial deconvolution revealing an association toward disease-associated microglia (DAM) gene signature and downregulation of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and cholesterol biosynthesis relative to WT. Cortical ncRNA profiling identified 466 differentially expressed ncRNAs, primarily circular RNAs (circRNAs; n = 331). In pEVs, 822 ncRNAs were differentially abundant, of which 657 circRNAs were identified in PS19 compared to WT mice. Cross-compartment integration suggest that pEV miRNA gene targets functionally mirrored genes involved in the brain's inflammatory and metabolic failure. We identified a preliminary candidate signature of 33 ncRNAs, including miR-5114 (up in brain, down in pEV), circ_0008242 and circ_0002153 (up in brain and pEV), and circ_0007688 (down in brain and pEV), differentially enriched across both brain and periphery in PS19 compared to WT mice. These results suggest that the pEV non-coding landscape may partially reflect central tau-mediated changes in the brain transcriptional response. This study identifies circRNAs as the most numerically perturbed ncRNA class and provides a foundation for potential peripheral indicators of central brain tau pathology."

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

As an anti-inflammatory drug, triptolide (TP), a natural diterpenoid from Tripterygium wilfordii, was selected in the current study for treating PS19 (tauP301S transgenic) mice, tauopathy AD mice. In addition, we have previously found that TP had the ability to reduce the level of cholesterol. However, the roles and mechanisms of TP in the above processes are not clear. To this end, we found that elevated cholesterol in serum and brain tissues upregulated the expression of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 3 (CD33), leading to the activation of SH2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1). The activation of SHP-1 inhibits the signaling pathways of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), which results in inhibition of the M2 polarization of microglia, which exacerbates neuroinflammation and cognitive decline in high-cholesterol diet (HCD)-fed mice. Conversely, TP treatment significantly inhibited the hepatic sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2)/3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) pathway, which reduced the cholesterol levels in the serum and brain. By depressing the levels of cholesterol, the axis of CD33 and SHP-1 was suppressed, which resulted in restoration of the activity of JAK1 and STAT6 pathways, leading to the transition of microglia from the M1 to the M2 phenotype. Of note, these observations demonstrate that TP alleviates the cognitive impairment of PS19 mice via depressing neuroinflammation. Altogether, our results revealed the mechanisms of TP in treating AD via CD33/SHP-1/JAK1/STAT6 pathways in a cholesterol-dependent manner."

Epidemiological studies associate physical exercise with reduced AD risk (30-45%), yet mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. Preclinical studies demonstrate that exercise-induced myokines (Irisin, BDNF, Cathepsin B) modulate AD pathology by: (1) attenuating amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)/tau accumulation, (2) suppressing neuroinflammation, and (3) enhancing synaptic plasticity. However, human exercise interventions show conflicting results influenced by APOE genotype, age, and exercise modality. Associative human data suggest that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exemplifies pleiotropy-affording neuroprotective effects in acute contexts but potentially detrimental effects in states of chronic inflammation. Therapeutic hurdles include blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, pleiotropic risks, and patient heterogeneity. Emerging concepts such as combinatorial approaches (nanocarriers, exercise mimetics) and biomarker-driven trials are proposed as hypothetical future strategies; however, these remain unvalidated and require substantial preclinical development before implemented in clinical care. This narrative review is structured around three thematic sections: mechanistic foundations of myokine neuroprotection, translational barriers to therapeutic development, and a strategic framework for future research. The muscle-brain axis represents a compelling but complex therapeutic target. Based on current preclinical and correlational human evidence, future research should prioritize mechanistic rigor, standardized biomarker validation, and clinically viable delivery strategies. Notably, several approaches discussed herein-including nanocarrier delivery systems, exercise mimetics, and combinatorial myokine cocktails-remain speculative and are presented as future research directions rather than established therapeutic interventions."

However, the mechanisms governing immune-liver crosstalk in this context remain poorly defined. Proline/serine-rich coiled-coil protein 1 (PSRC1) is a known regulator of cholesterol metabolism, but whether macrophage-derived PSRC1 influences hepatic functions via intercellular communication is unknown. The relationship between macrophage PSRC1 and hepatic PCSK9 was examined in patients with coronary artery disease and murine models. We employed AAV6-mediated macrophage-specific targeting and whole-body Psrc1\u207b/\u207b mice to evaluate cell-type-specific effects. Macrophage-hepatocyte communication was investigated using transwell systems and genetic blockade of EV secretion (sh-Rab27a). The selectivity of EV cargo loading was validated by protease protection assays and TSG101 interaction analysis. In vivo EV tracking (DiI-labeling) and ChIP-qPCR for DNMT recruitment were performed to elucidate the systemic and epigenetic mechanisms. Macrophage PSRC1 expression was significantly reduced in atherosclerotic conditions and inversely correlated with hepatic PCSK9 levels. Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models. PSRC1 was found to interact with TSG101 to promote the selective loading of MBD2 into the EV lumen, a process confirmed by protease protection. These MBD2-enriched EVs were preferentially sequestered by the liver after systemic administration. Mechanistically, transferred MBD2 functioned as an epigenetic scaffold, recruiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1/3A) to the PCSK9 promoter to drive CpG hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. In vivo, administration of MBD2-enriched EVs significantly reduced hepatic PCSK9 protein, lowered plasma cholesterol, and enhanced plaque stability in ApoE\u207b/\u207b mice. Our findings uncover a novel macrophage-liver epigenetic axis where macrophage PSRC1 controls systemic cholesterol homeostasis by regulating the EV-mediated delivery of MBD2. This \"Reader-recruits-Writer\" mechanism provides a refined understanding of immune-metabolic crosstalk and suggests that engineered EV-based MBD2 delivery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for ASCVD."

As populations age worldwide, the epidemiological burden of AD is expected to more than double by 2050, surpassing 150\u00a0million affected individuals. While genetic susceptibility, particularly the apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE4) allele, modulates individual risk, most AD cases are late-onset and shaped by complex interactions between genetic background and modifiable environmental exposures. Environmental pollution has emerged as a critical and potentially preventable contributor to this burden. The 2024 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care has identified 14 modifiable risk factors, with air pollution explicitly included. Drawing on evidence from human epidemiological cohorts, experimental animal models, and in vitro neuronal/glial systems, the present review aims to synthesize mechanistic evidence linking environmental pollutant classes to AD-relevant neuropathology. The review examines the growing body of evidence linking major categories of environmental pollutants (ambient particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and emerging contaminants including microplastics and nanoplastics) to AD risk and pathogenesis. Special attention is given to studies showing that the characteristic neuropathological features of AD may emerge in children and young adults chronically exposed to heavily polluted urban environments, which highlights critical concerns about when and how these changes develop throughout life. Shared mechanistic pathways through which environmental pollutants promote neurodegeneration are discussed, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, tau kinase dysregulation, epigenetic reprogramming, and gut-brain axis dysbiosis.

We previously showed that CD146, an adhesion molecule expressed by endothelial cells, is harbored by macrophages in atherosclerotic plaque and allows to reduce CCL5 and subsequent inflammation. As extracellular vesicles may serve as potential clinical delivery devices, we hypothesized that CD146 extracellular vesicles injection could be atheroprotective. We generated and purified extracellular vesicles from mouse endothelial cells deleted or not with CD146. In vitro stimulation of macrophages with CD146 extracellular vesicles induced macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype through the STAT3/IL-10 axis, whereas CD146-negative extracellular vesicles did not have any effect. We next tracked the trafficking of labeled extracellular vesicles after intravenous injection in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice and visualized their incorporation into atheroma. After bi-weekly injections of extracellular vesicles for 6 weeks, only ApoE-/- mice treated with CD146 extracellular vesicles exhibited a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque, associated with an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. We thus propose that treatment with CD146 extracellular vesicles could constitute a novel therapeutic option for reducing atherosclerosis."

Neuroinflammation, once considered a secondary phenomenon, is now established as a third core pathological pillar of AD, with microglia at its epicenter. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted role of microglia in AD pathogenesis and evaluates the rapidly evolving landscape of microglia-targeted therapeutic strategies. We first delineate the dynamic and dichotomous function of microglia, which act as a \"double-edged sword.\" Emerging evidence reveals a complex, three-stage functional arc: microglia are implicated in the initial seeding of A\u03b2 plaques, then transition to a neuroprotective role by containing established plaques, and finally devolve into a chronic, pro-inflammatory state that drives neurodegeneration. We then delve into the core molecular mechanisms governing this plasticity, including the pivotal Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2)-APOE signaling axis, the inhibitory receptor Cluster of Differentiation 33 (CD33), and key intracellular hubs like the NLRP3 inflammasome, which directly link genetic risk factors to microglial dysregulation. Based on this mechanistic understanding, we critically evaluate diverse therapeutic strategies, ranging from suppressing neurotoxic inflammation (e.g., TNF-\u03b1 and NLRP3 inhibitors) to enhancing protective functions (e.g., TREM2 agonism and CD33 antagonism), eliminating senescent microglia (senolytics), and utilizing advanced nanoplatforms for brain-targeted delivery. Finally, we highlight the critical role of neuroinflammatory biomarkers within the emerging ATI(N) framework for enabling precision medicine. In conclusion, targeting microglia represents a vital therapeutic avenue that moves beyond amyloid-centric approaches, where a sophisticated understanding of their stage-dependent functions is paramount for developing effective immunomodulatory therapies to alter the devastating course of AD."

Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulated lipid metabolism is not merely a metabolic disturbance but a critical modulator of inflammatory responses driving AD pathogenesis. The brain, one of the most lipid-enriched organs, relies on tightly controlled lipid homeostasis to maintain neuronal function and synaptic integrity. Alterations in fatty acid composition, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms, lipoprotein lipase activity, and lipid-derived signaling mediators profoundly reshape microglial activation states and inflammatory cascades. Obesity, insulin resistance, and gut microbiota dysbiosis further exacerbate systemic and central lipid imbalance, amplifying neuroinflammatory signaling through cytokine networks and blood-brain barrier disruption.

Currently, effective treatments for VaD remain limited, underscoring the clinical significance of developing novel, multi-targeted therapeutic strategies. In recent years, more and more studies have shown the connection between lung and brain, so we used nasal administration of probiotics to observe the improvement of cognitive function in VaD rats. Because the safety of the organism is uncertain, the study develop a bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) drug delivery system that delivers the key bioactive metabolite asperuloside (ASP) by modulating the microbiota-lung-brain axis, aiming to improve brain targeting and therapeutic outcomes. The results show that nasal administration of L. salivarius significantly ameliorated cognitive impairment, mitigated neuroinflammation, restored blood-brain barrier and lung barrier function, and modulated lung flora in VaD rats. Metabolomics analysis identified ASP as the principal active metabolite, although its efficacy as a standalone agent was constrained. The EA system effectively facilitated ASP delivery to brain tissue, yielding neuroprotective and barrier-repair effects. Collectively, our study shows that L. salivarius can modulate the pathophysiological processes of VaD via the \"microbiota-lung-brain axis.\" Its EVs serve as effective vehicles for delivering active metabolites, offering a novel integrated therapeutic approach for VaD involving microbial metabolism delivery."

Here, we introduce mitofusin-decorated extracellular vesicles (MFNEVs) as a natural-sourced nanoplatform for efficient mitochondrial delivery of various cytoplasm-sensitive macromolecular cargos. The surface-displayed mitofusin proteins MFN1 and MFN2 direct MFNEVs to localize to mitochondria, as confirmed by confocal imaging and gel electrophoresis analysis. In both in vitro and in vivo models, siRNA-loaded MFNEVs effectively reduce the expression of mitochondrial DNA-encoded genes. Moreover, sgRNA-loaded MFNEVs can achieve CRISPR-based mitochondrial gene editing, resulting in a decreased mitochondrial DNA content. Mechanistic studies further reveal that the delivery is facilitated by the cooperation of the mitochondrial fusion machinery. These findings establish the feasibility and versatility of MFNEVs as a promising delivery solution for mitochondrial therapeutics."

Beyond its classical roles in cushioning the brain, CSF serves as a regulated conduit for growth factors, ions, extracellular vesicles, and other bioactive molecules. Emerging evidence suggests that the ChP contributes to shaping CSF composition through energy-dependent transport and state-responsive secretion. Ventricular-contacting NSCs sense CSF cues via apical endfeet and primary cilia, integrating signals to regulate their behavior. Lifespan-dependent remodeling of CSF composition and niche architecture reshapes NSC function from embryonic expansion to adult homeostasis and age-associated decline. Beyond the ventricular niche, ChP-derived factors influence circuit maturation and vulnerability to neurodegeneration. Orthodenticle homeobox 2 regulates critical period timing and neuroblast integration, whereas apolipoprotein E couples lipid metabolisms and amyloid-\u03b2 homeostasis to neurogenesis with Alzheimer's disease risk. Additional ChP-secreted proteins, including transthyretin and clusterin, further shape the extracellular proteostatic and lipid environment. Together, these findings support the view of the ChP-CSF axis as an adaptive regulator across the lifespan that integrates stem cell dynamics, circuit plasticity, and neurodegenerative susceptibility."

Mitochondrial dynamics-including fusion-fission balance, mitophagy-biogenesis coupling, intracellular organization, and intercellular transfer via tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, or transient cell fusion-contribute to tissue adaptation and functional decline during aging. Focusing on cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and the nervous system, this narrative review synthesizes current evidence describing how aging disrupts mitochondrial network integrity through altered dynamics, impaired organelle positioning and transport, reduced mitophagy, mtDNA instability, and compromised metabolic coupling between cells. These alterations propagate across tissues, limiting energetic flexibility, stress resilience, and regenerative capacity. Building on these mechanisms, we discuss a systems-level perspective in which aging is associated with progressive loss of mitochondrial network coherence rather than solely cumulative molecular damage. Within this framework, mitochondrial connectivity functions as an integrative descriptor of cellular resilience: well-organized networks counteract metabolic perturbations, whereas functionally decoupled networks amplify stress and promote maladaptive aging trajectories. Emerging evidence indicates that physiological and pharmacological interventions, including endurance exercise, caloric restriction or mimetics, fusion-supporting pathways, and mitophagy-enhancing strategies, can partially restore network organization even later in life. Molecular, cellular, and tissue-level insights are integrated to highlight mitochondrial network dynamics as both a mechanistic contributor to aging and a potentially modifiable target for future preventive and therapeutic interventions."

Here, we advance a perspective that Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) act as active mediators bridging SARS-CoV-2 infection and neurodegenerative processes. As nanoscale messengers capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, EVs can transmit post-viral signals and orchestrate multi-target gene regulation in recipient cells through their microRNA (EV-miRNA) cargo. Our integrative analysis suggests that EV-miRNAs dysregulated in acute COVID-19, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's Disease (PD) converge on pathways governing neurovascular integrity, redox and metabolic homeostasis, and neuronal proteostasis. We propose that sustained dysregulation of these interconnected modules-driven by EV-mediated signalling-may underlie the perpetuation of neuro-PASC and accelerate neurodegeneration in susceptible individuals. Viewing EVs as mechanistic agents that both transmit and amplify pathogenic cues reframes them as actionable targets for intervention and risk stratification. This perspective calls for translational frameworks that leverage EVs to illuminate, predict, and modify the trajectory of post-viral neurodegeneration."

This review critically examines the mechanistic and pathological underpinnings of heterotypic protein co-aggregation, integrating biophysical, cellular, animal, and human data.

Emphasis is placed on translational opportunities: co-aggregation-specific biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and extracellular vesicles, and emerging multi-targeted therapies including immunotherapy, proteostasis modulators, and autophagy-inducing chimeras. This review also discusses the clinical implications of co-pathology in mixed dementias and overlapping disorders. It is therefore time to move beyond the classical one protein-one disease paradigm and embrace models that explicitly incorporate heterotypic co-aggregation, mixed pathologies, and shared vulnerability pathways across age-related disorders.

Their biogenesis, molecular composition, and ability to traverse physiological barriers, including the blood-brain barrier, position exosomes as powerful candidates for biomarker development and therapeutic delivery in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). In Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and prion disorders, exosomes not only mirror pathological processes but actively participate in the propagation of misfolded proteins and neuroinflammatory signals through cell-type-specific vesicle subpopulations. This review synthesises current advances in exosome biology, cargo sorting, release mechanisms, and pathophysiological roles in the central nervous system, with emphasis on how neuron-, astrocyte-, and microglia-derived exosomes diverge in their cargo profiles and functional consequences across diseases. We highlight disease-specific exosomal signatures, including amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), tau, \u03b1-synuclein, myelin proteins, prion proteins (PrP) and regulatory microRNAs.

We address critical unmet challenges in translating these approaches to the clinic, including scalable and standardised production, incomplete pharmacokinetic /pharmacodynamic characterisation in preclinical models, immunogenicity and off-target safety concerns, and the absence of specific regulatory guidance for EV drug products. Together, these insights highlight the transformative potential of exosomes as both precision diagnostic tools and disease-modifying therapeutic platforms for NDDs."

Several factors like oxidative stress, DNA damage, neuroinflammation, and altered proteostasis mark the onset of cellular senescence. A growing body of evidence highlights a strong association between cellular senescence and the development of neurodegenerative disorders, where the accumulation of senescent cells contribute to chronic inflammation, tissue dysfunction, and progressive neuronal degeneration. Despite significant advances in understanding brain aging, effective therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms remain limited. Over the years, targeting cellular senescence has emerged as a promising strategy in the development of senotherapeutics for age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. Stem cells and their acellular derivatives, such as the secretome, extracellular vesicles, and mitochondria, have recently emerged as promising senotherapeutic candidates. As evidenced from previous reports, cell-free components of stem cells may confer senotherapeutic benefits by delivering bioactive molecules and maintaining tissue microenvironmental homeostasis to rejuvenate the senescent cells. However, previous reviews have predominantly focussed on senotherapeutics and role of stem cells as antiaging agents. There remains a lack of integrated understanding of their role in modulating brain aging and neurodegeneration. In this review, we discuss the mechanistic role of cellular senescence in neurodegeneration contributing to brain aging and highlight emerging insights into stem cell and its acellular products as potential senotherapeutic strategies. Furthermore, we have highlighted some therapeutic strategies based on acellular products of stem cells in for combating age-associated brain dysfunction.

These endogenous carriers offer several advantages over conventional nanocarriers, such as liposomes. These advantages include high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, making them a promising platform for targeted drug delivery.

We particularly focus on the modification of engineered exosomes as drug delivery systems in various clinical contexts, covering multiple diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue repair.

These endogenous carriers offer several advantages over conventional nanocarriers, such as liposomes. These advantages include high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, making them a promising platform for targeted drug delivery. In this review, we systematically summarize the biological characteristics of exosomes, methods for their isolation and purification, strategies for drug loading (including endogenous and exogenous approaches), and surface engineering techniques (such as genetic engineering and chemical modification) to enhance targeting and therapeutic efficacy, based on a comprehensive PubMed literature search. We particularly focus on the modification of engineered exosomes as drug delivery systems in various clinical contexts, covering multiple diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue repair. Administration routes include oral, subcutaneous, intranasal, and intravenous delivery. While exosomes have shown promise in preclinical studies, challenges remain in terms of large-scale production, standardized isolation, drug loading efficiency, and safety evaluation. Herein, we aim to provide a theoretical foundation and suggest future directions for developing exosomes as a next-generation drug delivery platform."

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

Extracellular communication through astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) has received growing interest in association with astrocytopathies. However, to what extent ADEVs contribute to NMOSD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, through proteomic screening of patient-derived ADEVs, we observed an increase in apolipoprotein E (APOE)-rich ADEVs in patients with AQP4-Abs-positive NMOSD. Intracerebral injection of the APOE-mimetic peptide APOE130-149 attenuated microglial reactivity, neuroinflammation, and brain lesions in a mouse model of NMOSD. The protective effect of APOE in NMOSD pathogenesis was further established by the exacerbated lesion volume in APOE-deficient mice, which could be rescued by exogenous APOE administration. Genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. The transfusion ADEVs derived from patients with NMOSD and healthy controls also alleviated astrocyte loss, reactive microgliosis, and demyelination in NMOSD mice. The slightly larger beneficial effect of patient-derived ADEVs as compared to ADEVs from healthy controls was further augmented in APOE-/- mice. These results indicate that APOE from astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles could mediate disease-modifying astrocyte-microglia cross-talk in NMOSD."

Extracellular Hsp90\u03b1 (eHsp90\u03b1) and the ER stress marker GRP78 have been implicated in vascular injury; however, their roles in DAS remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 with DAS and explore the underlying mechanisms. We recruited patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with DAS. We then compared the levels and potential efficacies of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 between the two groups. We subsequently conducted cytological experiments and experiments with ApoE-/-\u00a0mice to further explore the underlying mechanisms involved. The serological analysis revealed that the levels of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 were significantly higher in the DAS group than in the DM group and that the eHsp90\u03b1 level was correlated with GRP78 level. The association and preliminary discriminative performance of the combination of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 levels were appeared higher than that of either marker alone. In addition, GRP78 plays a mediating role in the relationship between eHsp90\u03b1 and DAS. Furthermore, the expression of GRP78 was higher in both diabetic ApoE-/- mice and DAS patients than in control ApoE-/- mice and AS patients. Cytological experiments revealed that eHsp90\u03b1 induced endothelial barrier dysfunction mediated by ER stress via the LRP1 receptor. Our findings suggest that eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 are associated with diabetic atherosclerosis and may be associated biomarkers with potential discriminative value, although further validation is required. The eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. However, further large-scale and longitudinal studies are required to validate these findings."

However, effective therapeutic strategies are still lacking. Imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Given the established link between dysregulated lipid metabolism and amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) aggregation, we investigated whether chicoric acid (CA), a dietary polyphenol with reported lipid-modulating properties, could mitigate A\u03b2 pathology by modulating lipid metabolism in 5xFAD transgenic mice. In the brain, we found that CA upregulated the expression of liver X receptor Beta (LXR-\u03b2) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in 5xFAD mice. Through this pathway, it promoted apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipidation and enhanced the expression of A\u03b2-clearance proteins (IDE and LRP1). Notably, in the periphery, CA reshaped the gut microbiota in 5xFAD mice, which reduced serum neurotoxic bile acid levels and preserved the integrity of the peripheral A\u03b2 clearance system. Together, our study first demonstrated that CA globally regulated lipid homeostasis to alleviate A\u03b2 pathology by coordinating cerebral cholesterol efflux with peripheral bile acid metabolism. The findings facilitated exploring active compounds from traditional Chinese medicine that may reduce A\u03b2 deposition by targeting lipid metabolism pathways."

Interestingly, in vitro studies showed that PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations does not affect inflammation burden in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells, whereas it increases the content of exosomal miR-10b secreted by macrophages that have engulfed apoptotic cells (efferocytic macrophages). This study was aimed at investigating whether the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of PCA in arterial endothelial cells was due to the uptake of efferocytic macrophage exosomal miR-10b. A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b."

However, the regulatory role of MSCs in inflammatory atherosclerosis and the molecular mechanisms underlying their anti-inflammatory properties have largely remained elusive.

Uptake was assessed in PC12 cells. Behavioral and biochemical effects were tested in mice subjected to chronic restraint stress (CRS), chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia. Key outcomes included social interaction, sucrose preference, Morris water maze performance, sleep parameters, neurotransmitter levels (5-HT, GABA), and inflammatory markers. P. orientalis EVs exhibited bilayer vesicle morphology (\u223c100 nm) and contained abundant volatile compounds, particularly \u03b1-pinene. They were internalized by PC12 cells and reduced corticosterone-induced injury. In vivo, intranasal EV administration alleviated anxiety-like behaviors in CRS mice, restored sucrose preference and cognition in CUMS mice, and improved sleep onset and duration in PCPA-induced insomnia. Across models, EVs normalized serum and hippocampal 5-HT and GABA levels, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and increased TGF-\u03b2 expression. P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs exert significant anxiolytic, antidepressant, and soporific effects through multimodal mechanisms involving neurotransmitter regulation and anti-inflammatory activity.

Through proteomics, microRNA (miRNA) omics, and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we find that SeNExo can alleviate neuronal apoptosis, restore glia homeostasis, and remodel glia-neuron networks. Therefore, SeNExo confers potent therapeutic benefits, significantly reducing cerebral lesions in a murine traumatic brain injury model. Even extending to a murine spinal cord injury model, SeNExo promotes locomotory recovery, further supporting SeNExo as a neotype and a promising therapeutic agent for treating traumatic CNS injury."

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

APOE is involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, phospholipids and other lipids, synaptic function and neuroinflammation in the CNS. One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2). The APOE gene exists in three common isoforms: APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4, with distinct structural and functional properties. The three isoforms of APOE vary in their potential to bind and transport lipids and cholesterol, receptor affinity and clearance of A\u03b2. Among the three isoforms, APOE4 is one of the strongest risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while APOE2 exerts a protective role highlighting the functional divergence among isoforms in CNS physiology. The functions of APOE are exerted through binding of APOE with members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, including LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, and APOER2. So, approaches that potentiate the protective effects of APOE, like APOE mimetics, ABCA1 agonists, targeting APOE receptors like LDLR, LRP1, APOER2, and TREM2, might offer significant therapeutic benefits in Alzheimer's disease."

The present review article evaluated emerging A\u03b2-directed therapies, focusing on mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety, and regulatory progress. The recent approvals of lecanemab and donanemab offered the first convincing evidence that reducing A\u03b2 burden can modestly slow cognitive decline in early AD. Beyond these first-generation monoclonal antibodies, the pipeline includes next-generation antibodies with enhanced brain penetration (trontinemab), therapies designed also for presymptomatic intervention (remternetug tested for secondary prevention), and novel approaches targeting galectin-3 to disrupt A\u03b2 aggregation and neuroinflammation. Active immunotherapies like UB-311 and small molecules such as ALZ-801, avoiding amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), broaden the therapeutic horizon with potentially safer and more accessible options, but with no proven efficacy. Clinical benefits for A\u03b2-centric therapies are modest, ARIA poses ongoing safety concerns, and high costs coupled with intensive monitoring limit accessibility. Regulators have begun to restrict approval to genetically defined subgroups according to apolipoprotein E genotype, underscoring the need for precision medicine. Therefore, while A\u03b2-centric therapies are incremental, they represent essential steps toward combination and precision strategies in the treatment of AD. Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) is a growing global health problem, with no cure currently available. Most existing treatments only relieve symptoms and do not slow the underlying disease process. One of the earliest and most important biological changes in AD is the buildup of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), a protein that forms plaques in the brain. For this reason, many new drugs have been designed to remove A\u03b2 or prevent it from accumulating. In recent years, several A\u03b2-targeting therapies have shown that they can successfully reduce amyloid plaques in the brain. These include monoclonal antibodies given by infusion or injection, vaccines that stimulate the immune system, and oral drugs designed to block the formation of toxic A\u03b2 species. Some of these treatments have reached late-stage clinical trials, and a few have received regulatory approval in certain regions. However, while these drugs clearly reduce amyloid levels, their effects on memory and daily functioning are modest, especially when used after symptoms have already appeared. In addition, treatment can be associated with side effects such as brain swelling or small brain bleeds, requiring frequent medical monitoring, costly for healthcare systems. Most evidence so far comes from carefully controlled randomized clinical trials, and real-world experience remains limited. Current research is therefore shifting toward earlier treatment, including prevention in people at high risk, improved drug delivery methods, and combination approaches that also target other disease processes such as tau pathology, inflammation, and vascular or metabolic changes. New blood-based biomarkers are also making it easier to diagnose AD earlier and to select patients more precisely. Overall, A\u03b2\u2013centered therapies represent an important scientific advance, but they are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Future progress in AD treatment will depend on better understanding how amyloid may interact with other brain changes, identifying the right patients at the right time, and developing safer, more affordable, and more comprehensive therapeutic strategies."

In the PS19 cortex, mRNA sequencing identified 917 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with microglial deconvolution revealing an association toward disease-associated microglia (DAM) gene signature and downregulation of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and cholesterol biosynthesis relative to WT. Cortical ncRNA profiling identified 466 differentially expressed ncRNAs, primarily circular RNAs (circRNAs; n = 331). In pEVs, 822 ncRNAs were differentially abundant, of which 657 circRNAs were identified in PS19 compared to WT mice. Cross-compartment integration suggest that pEV miRNA gene targets functionally mirrored genes involved in the brain's inflammatory and metabolic failure. We identified a preliminary candidate signature of 33 ncRNAs, including miR-5114 (up in brain, down in pEV), circ_0008242 and circ_0002153 (up in brain and pEV), and circ_0007688 (down in brain and pEV), differentially enriched across both brain and periphery in PS19 compared to WT mice.

Epidemiological studies associate physical exercise with reduced AD risk (30-45%), yet mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. Preclinical studies demonstrate that exercise-induced myokines (Irisin, BDNF, Cathepsin B) modulate AD pathology by: (1) attenuating amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)/tau accumulation, (2) suppressing neuroinflammation, and (3) enhancing synaptic plasticity. However, human exercise interventions show conflicting results influenced by APOE genotype, age, and exercise modality. Associative human data suggest that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exemplifies pleiotropy-affording neuroprotective effects in acute contexts but potentially detrimental effects in states of chronic inflammation. Therapeutic hurdles include blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, pleiotropic risks, and patient heterogeneity. Emerging concepts such as combinatorial approaches (nanocarriers, exercise mimetics) and biomarker-driven trials are proposed as hypothetical future strategies; however, these remain unvalidated and require substantial preclinical development before implemented in clinical care. This narrative review is structured around three thematic sections: mechanistic foundations of myokine neuroprotection, translational barriers to therapeutic development, and a strategic framework for future research. The muscle-brain axis represents a compelling but complex therapeutic target. Based on current preclinical and correlational human evidence, future research should prioritize mechanistic rigor, standardized biomarker validation, and clinically viable delivery strategies. Notably, several approaches discussed herein-including nanocarrier delivery systems, exercise mimetics, and combinatorial myokine cocktails-remain speculative and are presented as future research directions rather than established therapeutic interventions."

However, the mechanisms governing immune-liver crosstalk in this context remain poorly defined. Proline/serine-rich coiled-coil protein 1 (PSRC1) is a known regulator of cholesterol metabolism, but whether macrophage-derived PSRC1 influences hepatic functions via intercellular communication is unknown. The relationship between macrophage PSRC1 and hepatic PCSK9 was examined in patients with coronary artery disease and murine models. We employed AAV6-mediated macrophage-specific targeting and whole-body Psrc1\u207b/\u207b mice to evaluate cell-type-specific effects. Macrophage-hepatocyte communication was investigated using transwell systems and genetic blockade of EV secretion (sh-Rab27a). The selectivity of EV cargo loading was validated by protease protection assays and TSG101 interaction analysis. In vivo EV tracking (DiI-labeling) and ChIP-qPCR for DNMT recruitment were performed to elucidate the systemic and epigenetic mechanisms. Macrophage PSRC1 expression was significantly reduced in atherosclerotic conditions and inversely correlated with hepatic PCSK9 levels. Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models. PSRC1 was found to interact with TSG101 to promote the selective loading of MBD2 into the EV lumen, a process confirmed by protease protection. These MBD2-enriched EVs were preferentially sequestered by the liver after systemic administration. Mechanistically, transferred MBD2 functioned as an epigenetic scaffold, recruiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1/3A) to the PCSK9 promoter to drive CpG hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. In vivo, administration of MBD2-enriched EVs significantly reduced hepatic PCSK9 protein, lowered plasma cholesterol, and enhanced plaque stability in ApoE\u207b/\u207b mice. Our findings uncover a novel macrophage-liver epigenetic axis where macrophage PSRC1 controls systemic cholesterol homeostasis by regulating the EV-mediated delivery of MBD2. This \"Reader-recruits-Writer\" mechanism provides a refined understanding of immune-metabolic crosstalk and suggests that engineered EV-based MBD2 delivery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for ASCVD."

As populations age worldwide, the epidemiological burden of AD is expected to more than double by 2050, surpassing 150\u00a0million affected individuals. While genetic susceptibility, particularly the apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE4) allele, modulates individual risk, most AD cases are late-onset and shaped by complex interactions between genetic background and modifiable environmental exposures. Environmental pollution has emerged as a critical and potentially preventable contributor to this burden. The 2024 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care has identified 14 modifiable risk factors, with air pollution explicitly included. Drawing on evidence from human epidemiological cohorts, experimental animal models, and in vitro neuronal/glial systems, the present review aims to synthesize mechanistic evidence linking environmental pollutant classes to AD-relevant neuropathology. The review examines the growing body of evidence linking major categories of environmental pollutants (ambient particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and emerging contaminants including microplastics and nanoplastics) to AD risk and pathogenesis. Special attention is given to studies showing that the characteristic neuropathological features of AD may emerge in children and young adults chronically exposed to heavily polluted urban environments, which highlights critical concerns about when and how these changes develop throughout life. Shared mechanistic pathways through which environmental pollutants promote neurodegeneration are discussed, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, tau kinase dysregulation, epigenetic reprogramming, and gut-brain axis dysbiosis. The review also examines the amplifying role of biological aging on neurotoxic vulnerability and proposes a comprehensive, multi-level prevention framework addressing individual exposure reduction, clinical risk identification, and population-level policy interventions."

We previously showed that CD146, an adhesion molecule expressed by endothelial cells, is harbored by macrophages in atherosclerotic plaque and allows to reduce CCL5 and subsequent inflammation. As extracellular vesicles may serve as potential clinical delivery devices, we hypothesized that CD146 extracellular vesicles injection could be atheroprotective. We generated and purified extracellular vesicles from mouse endothelial cells deleted or not with CD146. In vitro stimulation of macrophages with CD146 extracellular vesicles induced macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype through the STAT3/IL-10 axis, whereas CD146-negative extracellular vesicles did not have any effect. We next tracked the trafficking of labeled extracellular vesicles after intravenous injection in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice and visualized their incorporation into atheroma. After bi-weekly injections of extracellular vesicles for 6 weeks, only ApoE-/- mice treated with CD146 extracellular vesicles exhibited a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque, associated with an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. We thus propose that treatment with CD146 extracellular vesicles could constitute a novel therapeutic option for reducing atherosclerosis."

Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulated lipid metabolism is not merely a metabolic disturbance but a critical modulator of inflammatory responses driving AD pathogenesis. The brain, one of the most lipid-enriched organs, relies on tightly controlled lipid homeostasis to maintain neuronal function and synaptic integrity. Alterations in fatty acid composition, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms, lipoprotein lipase activity, and lipid-derived signaling mediators profoundly reshape microglial activation states and inflammatory cascades. Obesity, insulin resistance, and gut microbiota dysbiosis further exacerbate systemic and central lipid imbalance, amplifying neuroinflammatory signaling through cytokine networks and blood-brain barrier disruption.

Currently, effective treatments for VaD remain limited, underscoring the clinical significance of developing novel, multi-targeted therapeutic strategies. In recent years, more and more studies have shown the connection between lung and brain, so we used nasal administration of probiotics to observe the improvement of cognitive function in VaD rats. Because the safety of the organism is uncertain, the study develop a bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) drug delivery system that delivers the key bioactive metabolite asperuloside (ASP) by modulating the microbiota-lung-brain axis, aiming to improve brain targeting and therapeutic outcomes. The results show that nasal administration of L. salivarius significantly ameliorated cognitive impairment, mitigated neuroinflammation, restored blood-brain barrier and lung barrier function, and modulated lung flora in VaD rats. Metabolomics analysis identified ASP as the principal active metabolite, although its efficacy as a standalone agent was constrained. The EA system effectively facilitated ASP delivery to brain tissue, yielding neuroprotective and barrier-repair effects. Collectively, our study shows that L. salivarius can modulate the pathophysiological processes of VaD via the \"microbiota-lung-brain axis.\" Its EVs serve as effective vehicles for delivering active metabolites, offering a novel integrated therapeutic approach for VaD involving microbial metabolism delivery."

The surface-displayed mitofusin proteins MFN1 and MFN2 direct MFNEVs to localize to mitochondria, as confirmed by confocal imaging and gel electrophoresis analysis. In both in vitro and in vivo models, siRNA-loaded MFNEVs effectively reduce the expression of mitochondrial DNA-encoded genes. Moreover, sgRNA-loaded MFNEVs can achieve CRISPR-based mitochondrial gene editing, resulting in a decreased mitochondrial DNA content. Mechanistic studies further reveal that the delivery is facilitated by the cooperation of the mitochondrial fusion machinery. These findings establish the feasibility and versatility of MFNEVs as a promising delivery solution for mitochondrial therapeutics."

Our integrative analysis suggests that EV-miRNAs dysregulated in acute COVID-19, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's Disease (PD) converge on pathways governing neurovascular integrity, redox and metabolic homeostasis, and neuronal proteostasis. We propose that sustained dysregulation of these interconnected modules-driven by EV-mediated signalling-may underlie the perpetuation of neuro-PASC and accelerate neurodegeneration in susceptible individuals.

This review critically examines the mechanistic and pathological underpinnings of heterotypic protein co-aggregation, integrating biophysical, cellular, animal, and human data. This review further proposes a conceptual framework that views neurodegeneration as a network of interacting misfolded proteins shaped by age-related changes in lipid membranes, redox balance, proteostasis, and genetic factors. Emphasis is placed on translational opportunities: co-aggregation-specific biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and extracellular vesicles, and emerging multi-targeted therapies including immunotherapy, proteostasis modulators, and autophagy-inducing chimeras. This review also discusses the clinical implications of co-pathology in mixed dementias and overlapping disorders. It is therefore time to move beyond the classical one protein-one disease paradigm and embrace models that explicitly incorporate heterotypic co-aggregation, mixed pathologies, and shared vulnerability pathways across age-related disorders.

They induce M2 microglial polarization, inhibit A1 astrocyte transformation, and balance Treg/Th17 subsets, while suppressing NF-\u03baB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6) and elevate anti-inflammatory IL-10. Additionally, exosomes enhance A\u03b2/tau clearance via promoting phagocytosis and autophagy, and repair the blood-brain barrier to mitigate peripheral immune infiltration. Derived from MSCs, immune cells, or traditional Chinese medicines, exosomes exhibit low immunogenicity and high biocompatibility, with preclinical and pilot clinical data confirming 30%\u201350% improvement in cognitive scores and 40%\u201360% reductions in cerebrospinal fluid IL-1\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6 levels in AD models and patients. These findings highlight exosomes as a multitargeted strategy to ameliorate neuroinflammation and halt AD neurodegeneration."

In this study, we investigated multiple immune-related pathways implicated in the management and clearance of A\u03b2 within circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and serum from individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) who later progressed to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A cytokine panel and the levels of A\u03b21-42 were quantified in both cEVs and serum from a longitudinally followed cohort of elderly with SCD, using mesoscale and Luminex technologies. We investigated associations with A\u03b2 burden, cognitive performance, APOE \u03b54 allele status, and the likelihood of conversion to MCI. In SCD patients, the concentrations of A\u03b21-42 and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) were higher, respectively, in cEVs and serum. No difference was observed for fraktaline, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3), and sCD40L in either cEVs or serum between SCD and control patients. Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, regression modeling, and correlations with cognitive performance, M-CSF levels in serum effectively distinguished individuals with SCD who converted to MCI from those who remained stable. Interestingly, combining M-CSF and cEVs A\u03b21-42 with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) cognitive scores provided an excellent classification for SCD converted to MCI up to 2 years prior to clinical diagnosis. Our findings support the potential value of integrating serum M-CSF levels with RAVLT performance and cEVs A\u03b21-42 concentrations into a multimodal biomarker panel for longitudinal monitoring of progressive neurocognitive impairment."

Traditional therapeutic strategies often face substantial limitations, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier, which restricts the delivery of pharmacological agents to the brain and consequently affects treatment effectiveness. In recent years, in order to enhance the efficacy of the central nervous system treatments, exosome-based approaches have gained interest. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) secreted by cells, present a feasible therapeutic strategy due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and transport bioactive molecules. Reflecting the traits of their parent cells (e.g., glioma stem cells and glioblastoma multiforme), exosomes can be isolated from body fluids, which enhances their clinical applicability. Additionally, intranasal delivery provides a non-invasive method to administer exosomes, using the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly target the brain. This method shows great promise in enhancing therapeutic efficacy for CNS disorders. However, challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance, enzymatic degradation, and limited bioavailability reduce efficacy. Advances in exosome engineering, nanocarrier systems, and novel delivery devices are under investigation to mitigate these constraints. However, clinical translation requires further research to guarantee safety, consistency, and scalability. In this context, intranasal exosome delivery holds considerable promise as a non-invasive strategy for central nervous system disorder treatment, contingent on overcoming the current biological and technical barriers."

Recent research underscores the significance of lipoproteins and the gut microbiota in the etiology of AD. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), particularly the E4 subtype, emerges as a key genetic risk factor, influencing oxidative stress, synaptic defects, glucose metabolism, and amyloid-\u03b2 clearance. Lipoprotein receptors, such as LRP-1, also influence the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, indicating potential for therapeutic applications. Novel therapies targeting lipoproteins, such as ALZ-801 and IDOL inhibitors, show promise in preclinical and clinical trials. Concurrently, the gut microbiome's impact on AD is increasingly recognized. Dysbiosis correlates with inflammation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and neurotransmitter imbalances. Gut-derived metabolites, including phenylalanine and isoleucine, promote Th1 cell activation and microglial dysfunction, exacerbating AD pathology. Interventions, like probiotics, GV-971, and polyphenols, demonstrate efficacy in restoring microbial balance and mitigating cognitive decline. Crucially, bidirectional interactions between lipoproteins and the gut microbiome are implicated in AD. ApoE genotypes influence gut microbial composition, while microbiota- derived short-chain fatty acids and endotoxins modulate lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation. These interactions, mediated via the gut-brain axis, highlight novel therapeutic avenues. Current FDA-approved AD drugs face limitations in efficacy and side effects, underscoring the need for innovative strategies targeting lipoprotein-gut microbiome crosstalk. Integrating insights into lipoprotein biology and gut microbiota dynamics may offer transformative potential for AD treatment, emphasizing combinatorial approaches to modulate these interconnected pathways. Further research is warranted to elucidate mechanistic links and translate preclinical findings into clinical applications."

Phloroglucinol, a polyphenolic antioxidant, has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in PD models but suffers from limited clinical applicability due to poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) exhibit neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties and serve as promising vehicles for targeted drug delivery across the BBB. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intranasally administered sEV-encased phloroglucinol (sEV-Phl) in a chronic MPTP rat model of PD. DPSC-derived sEV were isolated via density gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic-Light-Scattering (DLS), and CD marker expression. Phloroglucinol was encased in sEV (sEV-Phl) using sonication. Antioxidant properties were tested in vitro using an H2DCF.DA assay in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to 6-OHDA. Chronic MPTP-treated male Wistar rats received intranasal sEV-Phl, with motor and non-motor behaviours evaluated up to 4-weeks post-MPTP treatment. TH-positive neurons, neurogenesis (Ki67, BrdU and FOXA2), lipid-peroxidation, and neurotransmitter-levels were analyzed. sEV biodistribution was tracked via near-infrared imaging and localization in neuronal and glial cells was confirmed with PKH-26 labelling, with confocal-imaging further verifying localization in neuronal and glial cells. TNF-\u03b1 expression was assessed as a marker of neuroinflammation. sEV displayed high purity and homogeneity. sEV-Phl significantly reduced oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo, as indicated by decreased ROS and lipid peroxidation levels. sEV-Phl treated MPTP rats demonstrated marked improvement in motor and non-motor behaviours compared to MPTP rats. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased TH-positive neurons and enhanced neurogenesis in the SNpc of sEV-Phl-treated animals. Biodistribution studies confirmed efficient midbrain targeting of sEV, which were localized to dopaminergic-neurons, astrocytes and microglia. sEV-Phl also significantly reduced TNF-\u03b1 expression, indicating decreased neuroinflammation. This study provides the first instance of using DPSC-derived sEV as a delivery vehicle for phloroglucinol in a PD model. sEV-Phl demonstrated significant neuroprotective-effects, enhanced DA-neuron survival and neurogenesis, and reduced neuroinflammation. Intranasal delivery of sEV-Phl represents a promising non-invasive therapeutic strategy for PD, offering a dual benefit of antioxidative and neurogenic support."

OL loss is characterized by inflammation, immune cell activity, and a failure of remyelination due to oligodendrocyte dysfunction and death, ultimately leading to demyelination and axonal damage. Given their central role in maintaining CNS integrity, therapeutic strategies aimed at protecting or restoring OL function are essential. Moreover, the limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier to many therapeutic compounds remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for innovative delivery approaches. Among these, the intranasal (IN) route has emerged as a promising noninvasive strategy for targeting the CNS. Within this therapeutic framework, Transferrin (Tf), a glycoprotein involved in iron homeostasis, has been shown to promote both developmental myelination and remyelination by redistributing and delivering iron, an essential cofactor for OL maturation and oxidative metabolism. In parallel, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained increasing attention as mediators of intercellular communication and potential drug delivery vehicles to the brain, offering advantages such as minimal immunogenicity, efficient cellular uptake, and cargo protection from degradation. In this review, the potential of EVs as biological carriers of molecules to promote remyelination is discussed, with a particular focus on Tf delivered via the intranasal route, as well as the cellular mechanisms underlying this internalization."

In this study, the impact of drug characteristics, particularly lipophilicity, was evaluated to achieve a stable incorporation of model drugs into these lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs). This study explored the lipophilicity of flurbiprofen, a potential drug in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and its prodrug flurbiprofenaxetil across varying pH levels. Our findings highlight how flurbiprofen's lipophilicity was influenced by its protonation state, affecting its incorporation into LNPs and consequently its release behaviour under physiological conditions, while flurbiprofenaxetil showed minimal variations due to its chemical structure. We also investigated the interaction between lipoprotein mimicking nanoparticles and primary porcine brain capillary endothelial cells to improve drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Permeation studies indicated that modification with ApoE enhanced the bidirectional permeability of LNPs across the BBB through receptor-mediated transcytosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated and identified the uptake mechanism involving the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), allowing these LNPs to be recognized by the same receptors as endogenous lipoproteins. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of ApoE modified LNPs as a promising strategy for targeted drug delivery to the brain."

Of the 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2021, 3.8 million are women and 2.4 million are men. The strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD is apolipoprotein E-e4 (APOE-e4). Female APOE-e4 carriers develop AD more frequently than age-matched males and have more brain atrophy and memory loss. Consequently, biomarkers that are sensitive to biological risk factors may improve AD diagnostics and may provide insight into underlying mechanistic changes that could drive disease progression. Here, we have assessed the effects of sex and APOE-e4 on the miRNA cargo of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular vesicles (EVs) in AD. We used ultrafiltration (UF) combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to enrich CSF EVs (e.g., Flotillin+). CSF EVs were isolated from female and male AD or controls (CTLs) that were either APOE-e3,4 or -e3,3 positive (n = 7/group, 56 total). MiRNA expression levels were quantified using a custom TaqMan\u2122 array that assayed 190 miRNAs previously found in CSF, including 25 miRNAs that we previously validated as candidate AD biomarkers. We identified changes in the EV miRNA cargo that were affected by both AD and sex. In total, four miRNAs (miR-16-5p, -331-3p, -409-3p, and -454-3p) were significantly increased in AD vs. CTL, independent of sex and APOE-e4 status. Pathway analysis of the predicted gene targets of these four miRNAs with identified pathways was highly relevant to neurodegeneration (e.g., senescence and autophagy). There were also three miRNAs (miR-146b-5p, -150-5p, and -342-3p) that were significantly increased in females vs. males, independent of disease state and APOE-e4 status. We then performed a statistical analysis to assess the effect of APOE genotype in AD within each sex and found that APOE-e4 status affects different subsets of CSF EV miRNAs in females vs. males. Together, this study demonstrates the complexity of the biological factors associated with AD risk and the impact on EV miRNAs, which may contribute to AD pathophysiology."

An important role has emerged for small, non-coding RNA molecules known as microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative disorders. As epigenetic regulators, miRNAs possess the capacity to regulate and fine tune protein production by inhibiting translation. Several miRNAs, which include miR-146a, are elevated in the brain, CSF, and plasma of AD patients. miR-146a participates in pathways that regulate immune activation and has several mRNA targets which encode for proteins involved in cellular energy metabolism. An additional role for extracellular vesicles (EVs) has also emerged in the progression AD, as EVs can transfer functionally active proteins and RNAs from diseased to healthy cells. In the current study, we exposed various cell types present within the CNS to immunomodulatory molecules and observed significant upregulation of miR-146a expression, both within cells and within their secreted EVs. Further, we assessed the effects of miR-146a overexpression on bioenergetic function in primary rat glial cells and found significant reductions in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Lastly, we correlated miR-146a expression levels within various regions of the AD brain to disease staging and found significant, positive correlations. These novel results demonstrate that the modulation of miR-146a in response to neuroinflammatory stimuli may mediate the loss of mitochondrial integrity and function in cells, thereby contributing to the progression of beta-amyloid and tau pathology in the AD brain. Multiple inflammatory stimuli can upregulate miRNA-146a expression within neurons, mixed glial cells, and brain endothelial cells, which is either retained within these cells or released from them as extracellular vesicle cargo. The upregulation of miR-146a disrupts cellular bioenergetics in mixed glial cells. This mechanism may play a critical role in the neuroinflammatory response observed during Alzheimer's disease."

Some studies now link the pathway dysfunction of the EVs to apolipoprotein E gene variant (APOE \u03b54) and the risk of progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD). To better understand the role of APOE \u03b54 in pre-clinical AD, we have determined levels of pathogenic, neurotrophic and inflammatory proteins in peripheral EVs (pEVs) and in plasma from cognitively impaired, no dementia (CIND) participants stratified upon the absence (APOE \u03b54-) or the presence (APOE \u03b54+ ) of the \u03b54 allele of APOE. Levels of 15 neurodegenerative, neurotrophic and neuroinflammatory proteins were quantified in pEVs and compared to their plasma levels from cognitively normal and CIND participants. Levels of neurotrophic and inflammatory markers were reduced in pEVs from APOE \u03b54+. The pentraxin-2/\u03b1-synuclein ratio measured in pEVs was able to predict AD 5 years before the onset among APOE \u03b54+-CIND individuals.

Increasing evidence indicates that these vesicles participate in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including immune regulation, tissue repair, tumor progression, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular homeostasis. Their distinctive biological properties have consequently generated considerable interest in their development as diagnostic tools, therapeutic agents, and drug-delivery platforms. Recent progress in exosome biology and biogenesis, together with technological advances in vesicle isolation, characterization, engineering, and large-scale production, has accelerated their preclinical development and early clinical translation. Nevertheless, substantial challenges-including donor-cell heterogeneity, low production yields, insufficiently standardized protocols, and regulatory uncertainty-must be addressed before widespread clinical implementation can be achieved. This narrative review integrates current knowledge of exosome biology, diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and engineering strategies. It further examines major translational barriers and outlines future priorities for advancing exosome-based technologies toward precision medicine."

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

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

However, aging is a heterogeneous process, and individual organisms age differently. Moreover, within the same organism, cells or organs do not age at the same speed. For instance, neurodegeneration, a hallmark of aging, generally manifests later than other peripheral aging signs. The genetic determinants of aging are not completely understood. Gain-of-function (GoF) mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2GoF) are major genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD). By analyzing PD patients and LRRK2GoF mice, we show that PD represents an accelerated aging disorder driven by STING-dependent inflammation. This inflammation begins peripherally, disrupts the blood-brain barrier, and causes dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Mechanistically, aging or LRRK2GoF causes endolysosomal decline, resulting in cytosolic self-DNA accumulation and the release of DNA-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) that activate the cGAS-STING pathway within and between cells. Our findings identify LRRK2GoF as a key driver of accelerated aging and systemic inflammaging through DNA-containing EVs, highlighting potential therapeutic targets to counteract inflammaging and neurodegeneration."

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

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

Extracellular communication through astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) has received growing interest in association with astrocytopathies. However, to what extent ADEVs contribute to NMOSD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, through proteomic screening of patient-derived ADEVs, we observed an increase in apolipoprotein E (APOE)-rich ADEVs in patients with AQP4-Abs-positive NMOSD. Intracerebral injection of the APOE-mimetic peptide APOE130-149 attenuated microglial reactivity, neuroinflammation, and brain lesions in a mouse model of NMOSD. The protective effect of APOE in NMOSD pathogenesis was further established by the exacerbated lesion volume in APOE-deficient mice, which could be rescued by exogenous APOE administration. Genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. The transfusion ADEVs derived from patients with NMOSD and healthy controls also alleviated astrocyte loss, reactive microgliosis, and demyelination in NMOSD mice. The slightly larger beneficial effect of patient-derived ADEVs as compared to ADEVs from healthy controls was further augmented in APOE-/- mice. These results indicate that APOE from astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles could mediate disease-modifying astrocyte-microglia cross-talk in NMOSD."

Extracellular Hsp90\u03b1 (eHsp90\u03b1) and the ER stress marker GRP78 have been implicated in vascular injury; however, their roles in DAS remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 with DAS and explore the underlying mechanisms. We recruited patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with DAS. We then compared the levels and potential efficacies of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 between the two groups. We subsequently conducted cytological experiments and experiments with ApoE-/-\u00a0mice to further explore the underlying mechanisms involved. The serological analysis revealed that the levels of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 were significantly higher in the DAS group than in the DM group and that the eHsp90\u03b1 level was correlated with GRP78 level. The association and preliminary discriminative performance of the combination of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 levels were appeared higher than that of either marker alone. In addition, GRP78 plays a mediating role in the relationship between eHsp90\u03b1 and DAS. Furthermore, the expression of GRP78 was higher in both diabetic ApoE-/- mice and DAS patients than in control ApoE-/- mice and AS patients. Cytological experiments revealed that eHsp90\u03b1 induced endothelial barrier dysfunction mediated by ER stress via the LRP1 receptor. Our findings suggest that eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 are associated with diabetic atherosclerosis and may be associated biomarkers with potential discriminative value, although further validation is required. The eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. However, further large-scale and longitudinal studies are required to validate these findings."

However, effective therapeutic strategies are still lacking. Imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Given the established link between dysregulated lipid metabolism and amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) aggregation, we investigated whether chicoric acid (CA), a dietary polyphenol with reported lipid-modulating properties, could mitigate A\u03b2 pathology by modulating lipid metabolism in 5xFAD transgenic mice. In the brain, we found that CA upregulated the expression of liver X receptor Beta (LXR-\u03b2) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in 5xFAD mice. Through this pathway, it promoted apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipidation and enhanced the expression of A\u03b2-clearance proteins (IDE and LRP1). Notably, in the periphery, CA reshaped the gut microbiota in 5xFAD mice, which reduced serum neurotoxic bile acid levels and preserved the integrity of the peripheral A\u03b2 clearance system. Together, our study first demonstrated that CA globally regulated lipid homeostasis to alleviate A\u03b2 pathology by coordinating cerebral cholesterol efflux with peripheral bile acid metabolism.

A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b."

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging biomarkers of cognitive decline, but their role in early ADAD is unclear. The rare apolipoprotein E (APOE3) Christchurch (APOE3Ch) variant delays disease onset, yet its effect on EVs is unknown. We analyzed plasma EVs from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3 carriers and non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3Ch carriers using flow cytometry, proteomics, and co-culture assays. APOE3Ch-EVs showed reduced vascular activation and inflammatory cargo linked to \u03b2-catenin signaling, higher apoE levels, and enrichment in lipid-loaded EVs. They mimicked the protective effect of recombinant ApoE3Ch on endothelial integrity by restoring \u03b2-catenin nuclear localization. In contrast, EVs from non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3 carriers displayed vascular and inflammatory signatures associated with poorer cognition and detrimental astrocyte-endothelium effects.

Detection of AD-related changes via blood-based biomarkers would enable critical therapeutic interventions early in disease progression. Neuronal enriched extracellular vesicle (NEEV) miRNAs regulate peripheral genes as a response to early AD brain changes and hence may have biomarker potential. Plasma NEEVs were captured from plasma samples of Mexican Americans (MAs) and Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) using an antibody against the neuronal surface marker CD171. miRNAs isolated from NEEVs were sequenced and analyzed using miRDeep2/DEseq2 and QIAGEN RNA-seq portal for differential expression between cognitively impaired (CI) and cognitively unimpaired controls. hsa-miR-122-5p was significantly underrepresented in the CI group in both MAs and NHWs compared to the healthy control.

However, the regulatory role of MSCs in inflammatory atherosclerosis and the molecular mechanisms underlying their anti-inflammatory properties have largely remained elusive. Differential ultracentrifugation was performed to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs). An ApoE knockout atherosclerotic animal model was employed to investigate the regulatory effect of MenSC-EVs on inflammatory atherosclerosis. miRNA microarray screening analyses were conducted to identify potential effectors in MenSC-EVs that play a key role in the suppression of atherosclerosis mediated by the EVs. We demonstrated the remarkable potential of MenSC-EVs in alleviating atherosclerosis through the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. miR-574-5p serves as a crucial effector molecule transported by MenSC-EVs, suppressing endothelial inflammation and promoting nitric oxide production. This regulation contributes to the attenuation of atherosclerosis by regulating the abundance of c-Rel. The miR-574-5p/c-Rel axis shows significant clinical relevance to atherosclerosis. This study reveals that the engineering of EVs derived from MenSCs holds significant promise as a strategic clinical approach for addressing inflammatory atherosclerosis."

Franco, used in traditional medicine, contains neuroactive compounds. This study evaluated the effects of P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs in rodent models of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. EVs were isolated by differential ultracentrifugation, characterized by electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis, and their bioactive components identified by GC -MS. Uptake was assessed in PC12 cells. Behavioral and biochemical effects were tested in mice subjected to chronic restraint stress (CRS), chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia. Key outcomes included social interaction, sucrose preference, Morris water maze performance, sleep parameters, neurotransmitter levels (5-HT, GABA), and inflammatory markers. P. orientalis EVs exhibited bilayer vesicle morphology (\u223c100 nm) and contained abundant volatile compounds, particularly \u03b1-pinene. They were internalized by PC12 cells and reduced corticosterone-induced injury. In vivo, intranasal EV administration alleviated anxiety-like behaviors in CRS mice, restored sucrose preference and cognition in CUMS mice, and improved sleep onset and duration in PCPA-induced insomnia. Across models, EVs normalized serum and hippocampal 5-HT and GABA levels, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and increased TGF-\u03b2 expression. P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs exert significant anxiolytic, antidepressant, and soporific effects through multimodal mechanisms involving neurotransmitter regulation and anti-inflammatory activity. Intranasal administration offers an effective strategy to bypass the blood -brain barrier, supporting the translational potential of plant-EVs as novel therapeutics for psychiatric disorders."

The aim of this study was to map the distributions of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) and other synaptic proteins in the brain and the brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) of AD patients, analyze their associations with A\u03b2, tau, and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 allele, and investigate the biological role of SV2A. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of BDEVs and immunohistochemistry staining were conducted on postmortem brain samples from 57 AD patients and 48 nondemented controls. The levels of SV2A, synaptophysin (SYP), and other synaptic proteins in the brain tissues and the BDEVs, and their associations with A\u03b2, tau (phospho-tau and Braak stages), other proteins and the APOE \u03b54 allele, were analyzed. SV2A levels were significantly lower in AD patients than in nondemented controls, particularly in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. APOE \u03b54 carriers presented further reductions in SV2A levels compared with noncarriers. The SV2A levels in BDEVs and brain tissues were positively correlated with SYP levels and negatively correlated with A\u03b2 and phospho-tau levels. Reductions in SV2A were associated with decreased levels of other synaptic proteins, such as synaptotagmins, GAP43, and SNAP25. SV2A emerged as a central hub with interactions with proteins from subnetworks related to synaptic vesicle formation and fusion. SV2A levels in brain tissues and BDEVs are reduced in AD patients, particularly in those carrying the APOE \u03b54 allele, and are correlated with A\u03b2 and tau pathologies. SV2A may serve as a valuable biomarker for monitoring synaptic dysfunction and progression in AD."

In addition to maintaining the biological components of NExo, the resulting SeNExo exhibits a Se-O bond that dramatically enhances its ROS-scavenging performance. SeNExo penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via the apolipoprotein E and prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (APOE_LRP-1) interaction. Through proteomics, microRNA (miRNA) omics, and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we find that SeNExo can alleviate neuronal apoptosis, restore glia homeostasis, and remodel glia-neuron networks. Therefore, SeNExo confers potent therapeutic benefits, significantly reducing cerebral lesions in a murine traumatic brain injury model. Even extending to a murine spinal cord injury model, SeNExo promotes locomotory recovery, further supporting SeNExo as a neotype and a promising therapeutic agent for treating traumatic CNS injury."

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

APOE is involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, phospholipids and other lipids, synaptic function and neuroinflammation in the CNS. One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2). The APOE gene exists in three common isoforms: APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4, with distinct structural and functional properties. The three isoforms of APOE vary in their potential to bind and transport lipids and cholesterol, receptor affinity and clearance of A\u03b2. Among the three isoforms, APOE4 is one of the strongest risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while APOE2 exerts a protective role highlighting the functional divergence among isoforms in CNS physiology. The functions of APOE are exerted through binding of APOE with members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, including LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, and APOER2. So, approaches that potentiate the protective effects of APOE, like APOE mimetics, ABCA1 agonists, targeting APOE receptors like LDLR, LRP1, APOER2, and TREM2, might offer significant therapeutic benefits in Alzheimer's disease."

The present review article evaluated emerging A\u03b2-directed therapies, focusing on mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety, and regulatory progress. The recent approvals of lecanemab and donanemab offered the first convincing evidence that reducing A\u03b2 burden can modestly slow cognitive decline in early AD. Beyond these first-generation monoclonal antibodies, the pipeline includes next-generation antibodies with enhanced brain penetration (trontinemab), therapies designed also for presymptomatic intervention (remternetug tested for secondary prevention), and novel approaches targeting galectin-3 to disrupt A\u03b2 aggregation and neuroinflammation. Active immunotherapies like UB-311 and small molecules such as ALZ-801, avoiding amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), broaden the therapeutic horizon with potentially safer and more accessible options, but with no proven efficacy. Clinical benefits for A\u03b2-centric therapies are modest, ARIA poses ongoing safety concerns, and high costs coupled with intensive monitoring limit accessibility. Regulators have begun to restrict approval to genetically defined subgroups according to apolipoprotein E genotype, underscoring the need for precision medicine. Therefore, while A\u03b2-centric therapies are incremental, they represent essential steps toward combination and precision strategies in the treatment of AD. Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) is a growing global health problem, with no cure currently available. Most existing treatments only relieve symptoms and do not slow the underlying disease process. One of the earliest and most important biological changes in AD is the buildup of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), a protein that forms plaques in the brain. For this reason, many new drugs have been designed to remove A\u03b2 or prevent it from accumulating. In recent years, several A\u03b2-targeting therapies have shown that they can successfully reduce amyloid plaques in the brain. These include monoclonal antibodies given by infusion or injection, vaccines that stimulate the immune system, and oral drugs designed to block the formation of toxic A\u03b2 species. Some of these treatments have reached late-stage clinical trials, and a few have received regulatory approval in certain regions. However, while these drugs clearly reduce amyloid levels, their effects on memory and daily functioning are modest, especially when used after symptoms have already appeared. In addition, treatment can be associated with side effects such as brain swelling or small brain bleeds, requiring frequent medical monitoring, costly for healthcare systems. Most evidence so far comes from carefully controlled randomized clinical trials, and real-world experience remains limited. Current research is therefore shifting toward earlier treatment, including prevention in people at high risk, improved drug delivery methods, and combination approaches that also target other disease processes such as tau pathology, inflammation, and vascular or metabolic changes. New blood-based biomarkers are also making it easier to diagnose AD earlier and to select patients more precisely. Overall, A\u03b2\u2013centered therapies represent an important scientific advance, but they are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Future progress in AD treatment will depend on better understanding how amyloid may interact with other brain changes, identifying the right patients at the right time, and developing safer, more affordable, and more comprehensive therapeutic strategies."

Epidemiological studies associate physical exercise with reduced AD risk (30-45%), yet mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. Preclinical studies demonstrate that exercise-induced myokines (Irisin, BDNF, Cathepsin B) modulate AD pathology by: (1) attenuating amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)/tau accumulation, (2) suppressing neuroinflammation, and (3) enhancing synaptic plasticity. However, human exercise interventions show conflicting results influenced by APOE genotype, age, and exercise modality. Associative human data suggest that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exemplifies pleiotropy-affording neuroprotective effects in acute contexts but potentially detrimental effects in states of chronic inflammation. Therapeutic hurdles include blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, pleiotropic risks, and patient heterogeneity. Emerging concepts such as combinatorial approaches (nanocarriers, exercise mimetics) and biomarker-driven trials are proposed as hypothetical future strategies; however, these remain unvalidated and require substantial preclinical development before implemented in clinical care. This narrative review is structured around three thematic sections: mechanistic foundations of myokine neuroprotection, translational barriers to therapeutic development, and a strategic framework for future research. The muscle-brain axis represents a compelling but complex therapeutic target. Based on current preclinical and correlational human evidence, future research should prioritize mechanistic rigor, standardized biomarker validation, and clinically viable delivery strategies. Notably, several approaches discussed herein-including nanocarrier delivery systems, exercise mimetics, and combinatorial myokine cocktails-remain speculative and are presented as future research directions rather than established therapeutic interventions."

However, the mechanisms governing immune-liver crosstalk in this context remain poorly defined. Proline/serine-rich coiled-coil protein 1 (PSRC1) is a known regulator of cholesterol metabolism, but whether macrophage-derived PSRC1 influences hepatic functions via intercellular communication is unknown. The relationship between macrophage PSRC1 and hepatic PCSK9 was examined in patients with coronary artery disease and murine models. We employed AAV6-mediated macrophage-specific targeting and whole-body Psrc1\u207b/\u207b mice to evaluate cell-type-specific effects. Macrophage-hepatocyte communication was investigated using transwell systems and genetic blockade of EV secretion (sh-Rab27a). The selectivity of EV cargo loading was validated by protease protection assays and TSG101 interaction analysis. In vivo EV tracking (DiI-labeling) and ChIP-qPCR for DNMT recruitment were performed to elucidate the systemic and epigenetic mechanisms. Macrophage PSRC1 expression was significantly reduced in atherosclerotic conditions and inversely correlated with hepatic PCSK9 levels. Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models. PSRC1 was found to interact with TSG101 to promote the selective loading of MBD2 into the EV lumen, a process confirmed by protease protection. These MBD2-enriched EVs were preferentially sequestered by the liver after systemic administration. Mechanistically, transferred MBD2 functioned as an epigenetic scaffold, recruiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1/3A) to the PCSK9 promoter to drive CpG hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. In vivo, administration of MBD2-enriched EVs significantly reduced hepatic PCSK9 protein, lowered plasma cholesterol, and enhanced plaque stability in ApoE\u207b/\u207b mice. Our findings uncover a novel macrophage-liver epigenetic axis where macrophage PSRC1 controls systemic cholesterol homeostasis by regulating the EV-mediated delivery of MBD2. This \"Reader-recruits-Writer\" mechanism provides a refined understanding of immune-metabolic crosstalk and suggests that engineered EV-based MBD2 delivery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for ASCVD."

As populations age worldwide, the epidemiological burden of AD is expected to more than double by 2050, surpassing 150\u00a0million affected individuals. While genetic susceptibility, particularly the apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE4) allele, modulates individual risk, most AD cases are late-onset and shaped by complex interactions between genetic background and modifiable environmental exposures. Environmental pollution has emerged as a critical and potentially preventable contributor to this burden. The 2024 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care has identified 14 modifiable risk factors, with air pollution explicitly included. Drawing on evidence from human epidemiological cohorts, experimental animal models, and in vitro neuronal/glial systems, the present review aims to synthesize mechanistic evidence linking environmental pollutant classes to AD-relevant neuropathology. The review examines the growing body of evidence linking major categories of environmental pollutants (ambient particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and emerging contaminants including microplastics and nanoplastics) to AD risk and pathogenesis. Special attention is given to studies showing that the characteristic neuropathological features of AD may emerge in children and young adults chronically exposed to heavily polluted urban environments, which highlights critical concerns about when and how these changes develop throughout life. Shared mechanistic pathways through which environmental pollutants promote neurodegeneration are discussed, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, tau kinase dysregulation, epigenetic reprogramming, and gut-brain axis dysbiosis. The review also examines the amplifying role of biological aging on neurotoxic vulnerability and proposes a comprehensive, multi-level prevention framework addressing individual exposure reduction, clinical risk identification, and population-level policy interventions."

We previously showed that CD146, an adhesion molecule expressed by endothelial cells, is harbored by macrophages in atherosclerotic plaque and allows to reduce CCL5 and subsequent inflammation. As extracellular vesicles may serve as potential clinical delivery devices, we hypothesized that CD146 extracellular vesicles injection could be atheroprotective. We generated and purified extracellular vesicles from mouse endothelial cells deleted or not with CD146. In vitro stimulation of macrophages with CD146 extracellular vesicles induced macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype through the STAT3/IL-10 axis, whereas CD146-negative extracellular vesicles did not have any effect. We next tracked the trafficking of labeled extracellular vesicles after intravenous injection in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice and visualized their incorporation into atheroma. After bi-weekly injections of extracellular vesicles for 6 weeks, only ApoE-/- mice treated with CD146 extracellular vesicles exhibited a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque, associated with an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. We thus propose that treatment with CD146 extracellular vesicles could constitute a novel therapeutic option for reducing atherosclerosis."

Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulated lipid metabolism is not merely a metabolic disturbance but a critical modulator of inflammatory responses driving AD pathogenesis. The brain, one of the most lipid-enriched organs, relies on tightly controlled lipid homeostasis to maintain neuronal function and synaptic integrity. Alterations in fatty acid composition, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms, lipoprotein lipase activity, and lipid-derived signaling mediators profoundly reshape microglial activation states and inflammatory cascades. Obesity, insulin resistance, and gut microbiota dysbiosis further exacerbate systemic and central lipid imbalance, amplifying neuroinflammatory signaling through cytokine networks and blood-brain barrier disruption. Notably, polyunsaturated fatty acids and lipid mediators exert dual immunomodulatory effects, influencing \u03b2-amyloid aggregation, oxidative stress, and microglial polarization. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding how lipid metabolism modulates neuroinflammation and microglia-neuron crosstalk in AD, highlighting emerging therapeutic strategies targeting lipid-inflammation axes as promising avenues for disease modification."

Currently, effective treatments for VaD remain limited, underscoring the clinical significance of developing novel, multi-targeted therapeutic strategies. In recent years, more and more studies have shown the connection between lung and brain, so we used nasal administration of probiotics to observe the improvement of cognitive function in VaD rats. Because the safety of the organism is uncertain, the study develop a bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) drug delivery system that delivers the key bioactive metabolite asperuloside (ASP) by modulating the microbiota-lung-brain axis, aiming to improve brain targeting and therapeutic outcomes. The results show that nasal administration of L. salivarius significantly ameliorated cognitive impairment, mitigated neuroinflammation, restored blood-brain barrier and lung barrier function, and modulated lung flora in VaD rats. Metabolomics analysis identified ASP as the principal active metabolite, although its efficacy as a standalone agent was constrained. The EA system effectively facilitated ASP delivery to brain tissue, yielding neuroprotective and barrier-repair effects. Collectively, our study shows that L. salivarius can modulate the pathophysiological processes of VaD via the \"microbiota-lung-brain axis.\" Its EVs serve as effective vehicles for delivering active metabolites, offering a novel integrated therapeutic approach for VaD involving microbial metabolism delivery."

Here, we introduce mitofusin-decorated extracellular vesicles (MFNEVs) as a natural-sourced nanoplatform for efficient mitochondrial delivery of various cytoplasm-sensitive macromolecular cargos. The surface-displayed mitofusin proteins MFN1 and MFN2 direct MFNEVs to localize to mitochondria, as confirmed by confocal imaging and gel electrophoresis analysis. In both in vitro and in vivo models, siRNA-loaded MFNEVs effectively reduce the expression of mitochondrial DNA-encoded genes. Moreover, sgRNA-loaded MFNEVs can achieve CRISPR-based mitochondrial gene editing, resulting in a decreased mitochondrial DNA content. Mechanistic studies further reveal that the delivery is facilitated by the cooperation of the mitochondrial fusion machinery. These findings establish the feasibility and versatility of MFNEVs as a promising delivery solution for mitochondrial therapeutics."

Here, we advance a perspective that Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) act as active mediators bridging SARS-CoV-2 infection and neurodegenerative processes. As nanoscale messengers capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, EVs can transmit post-viral signals and orchestrate multi-target gene regulation in recipient cells through their microRNA (EV-miRNA) cargo. Our integrative analysis suggests that EV-miRNAs dysregulated in acute COVID-19, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's Disease (PD) converge on pathways governing neurovascular integrity, redox and metabolic homeostasis, and neuronal proteostasis. We propose that sustained dysregulation of these interconnected modules-driven by EV-mediated signalling-may underlie the perpetuation of neuro-PASC and accelerate neurodegeneration in susceptible individuals. Viewing EVs as mechanistic agents that both transmit and amplify pathogenic cues reframes them as actionable targets for intervention and risk stratification. This perspective calls for translational frameworks that leverage EVs to illuminate, predict, and modify the trajectory of post-viral neurodegeneration."

Rather than acting independently, these proteins often cross-seed, co-localize, and modulate each other's aggregation dynamics and toxicity. This review critically examines the mechanistic and pathological underpinnings of heterotypic protein co-aggregation, integrating biophysical, cellular, animal, and human data. This review further proposes a conceptual framework that views neurodegeneration as a network of interacting misfolded proteins shaped by age-related changes in lipid membranes, redox balance, proteostasis, and genetic factors. Emphasis is placed on translational opportunities: co-aggregation-specific biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and extracellular vesicles, and emerging multi-targeted therapies including immunotherapy, proteostasis modulators, and autophagy-inducing chimeras. This review also discusses the clinical implications of co-pathology in mixed dementias and overlapping disorders. It is therefore time to move beyond the classical one protein-one disease paradigm and embrace models that explicitly incorporate heterotypic co-aggregation, mixed pathologies, and shared vulnerability pathways across age-related disorders. By reframing co-aggregation as a central pathogenic mechanism, this review highlights the need for diagnostics and therapeutics that address the interconnectivity of protein misfolding in the ageing brains."

In this study, we investigated multiple immune-related pathways implicated in the management and clearance of A\u03b2 within circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and serum from individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) who later progressed to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A cytokine panel and the levels of A\u03b21-42 were quantified in both cEVs and serum from a longitudinally followed cohort of elderly with SCD, using mesoscale and Luminex technologies. We investigated associations with A\u03b2 burden, cognitive performance, APOE \u03b54 allele status, and the likelihood of conversion to MCI. In SCD patients, the concentrations of A\u03b21-42 and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) were higher, respectively, in cEVs and serum.

Traditional therapeutic strategies often face substantial limitations, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier, which restricts the delivery of pharmacological agents to the brain and consequently affects treatment effectiveness. In recent years, in order to enhance the efficacy of the central nervous system treatments, exosome-based approaches have gained interest. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) secreted by cells, present a feasible therapeutic strategy due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and transport bioactive molecules. Reflecting the traits of their parent cells (e.g., glioma stem cells and glioblastoma multiforme), exosomes can be isolated from body fluids, which enhances their clinical applicability. Additionally, intranasal delivery provides a non-invasive method to administer exosomes, using the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly target the brain. This method shows great promise in enhancing therapeutic efficacy for CNS disorders. However, challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance, enzymatic degradation, and limited bioavailability reduce efficacy. Advances in exosome engineering, nanocarrier systems, and novel delivery devices are under investigation to mitigate these constraints. However, clinical translation requires further research to guarantee safety, consistency, and scalability. In this context, intranasal exosome delivery holds considerable promise as a non-invasive strategy for central nervous system disorder treatment, contingent on overcoming the current biological and technical barriers."

Recent research underscores the significance of lipoproteins and the gut microbiota in the etiology of AD. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), particularly the E4 subtype, emerges as a key genetic risk factor, influencing oxidative stress, synaptic defects, glucose metabolism, and amyloid-\u03b2 clearance. Lipoprotein receptors, such as LRP-1, also influence the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, indicating potential for therapeutic applications. Novel therapies targeting lipoproteins, such as ALZ-801 and IDOL inhibitors, show promise in preclinical and clinical trials. Concurrently, the gut microbiome's impact on AD is increasingly recognized. Dysbiosis correlates with inflammation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and neurotransmitter imbalances. Gut-derived metabolites, including phenylalanine and isoleucine, promote Th1 cell activation and microglial dysfunction, exacerbating AD pathology. Interventions, like probiotics, GV-971, and polyphenols, demonstrate efficacy in restoring microbial balance and mitigating cognitive decline. Crucially, bidirectional interactions between lipoproteins and the gut microbiome are implicated in AD. ApoE genotypes influence gut microbial composition, while microbiota- derived short-chain fatty acids and endotoxins modulate lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation. These interactions, mediated via the gut-brain axis, highlight novel therapeutic avenues. Current FDA-approved AD drugs face limitations in efficacy and side effects, underscoring the need for innovative strategies targeting lipoprotein-gut microbiome crosstalk. Integrating insights into lipoprotein biology and gut microbiota dynamics may offer transformative potential for AD treatment, emphasizing combinatorial approaches to modulate these interconnected pathways. Further research is warranted to elucidate mechanistic links and translate preclinical findings into clinical applications."

Phloroglucinol, a polyphenolic antioxidant, has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in PD models but suffers from limited clinical applicability due to poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) exhibit neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties and serve as promising vehicles for targeted drug delivery across the BBB. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intranasally administered sEV-encased phloroglucinol (sEV-Phl) in a chronic MPTP rat model of PD. DPSC-derived sEV were isolated via density gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic-Light-Scattering (DLS), and CD marker expression. Phloroglucinol was encased in sEV (sEV-Phl) using sonication. Antioxidant properties were tested in vitro using an H2DCF.DA assay in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to 6-OHDA. Chronic MPTP-treated male Wistar rats received intranasal sEV-Phl, with motor and non-motor behaviours evaluated up to 4-weeks post-MPTP treatment. TH-positive neurons, neurogenesis (Ki67, BrdU and FOXA2), lipid-peroxidation, and neurotransmitter-levels were analyzed. sEV biodistribution was tracked via near-infrared imaging and localization in neuronal and glial cells was confirmed with PKH-26 labelling, with confocal-imaging further verifying localization in neuronal and glial cells. TNF-\u03b1 expression was assessed as a marker of neuroinflammation. sEV displayed high purity and homogeneity. sEV-Phl significantly reduced oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo, as indicated by decreased ROS and lipid peroxidation levels. sEV-Phl treated MPTP rats demonstrated marked improvement in motor and non-motor behaviours compared to MPTP rats. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased TH-positive neurons and enhanced neurogenesis in the SNpc of sEV-Phl-treated animals. Biodistribution studies confirmed efficient midbrain targeting of sEV, which were localized to dopaminergic-neurons, astrocytes and microglia. sEV-Phl also significantly reduced TNF-\u03b1 expression, indicating decreased neuroinflammation. This study provides the first instance of using DPSC-derived sEV as a delivery vehicle for phloroglucinol in a PD model. sEV-Phl demonstrated significant neuroprotective-effects, enhanced DA-neuron survival and neurogenesis, and reduced neuroinflammation.

OL loss is characterized by inflammation, immune cell activity, and a failure of remyelination due to oligodendrocyte dysfunction and death, ultimately leading to demyelination and axonal damage. Given their central role in maintaining CNS integrity, therapeutic strategies aimed at protecting or restoring OL function are essential. Moreover, the limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier to many therapeutic compounds remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for innovative delivery approaches. Among these, the intranasal (IN) route has emerged as a promising noninvasive strategy for targeting the CNS.

In this study, the impact of drug characteristics, particularly lipophilicity, was evaluated to achieve a stable incorporation of model drugs into these lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs). This study explored the lipophilicity of flurbiprofen, a potential drug in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and its prodrug flurbiprofenaxetil across varying pH levels. Our findings highlight how flurbiprofen's lipophilicity was influenced by its protonation state, affecting its incorporation into LNPs and consequently its release behaviour under physiological conditions, while flurbiprofenaxetil showed minimal variations due to its chemical structure. We also investigated the interaction between lipoprotein mimicking nanoparticles and primary porcine brain capillary endothelial cells to improve drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Permeation studies indicated that modification with ApoE enhanced the bidirectional permeability of LNPs across the BBB through receptor-mediated transcytosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated and identified the uptake mechanism involving the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), allowing these LNPs to be recognized by the same receptors as endogenous lipoproteins. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of ApoE modified LNPs as a promising strategy for targeted drug delivery to the brain."

Thirty males of Wistar rats were divided into five groups: 1) control rats (NS); 2) rats supplemented with 3 g/kg of fish oil (NS+FO3); 3)\u00a0rats injected via intraperitoneal (i.p) with Streptozotocin-Lipopolysaccharide (STZ-LPS); 4)\u00a0rats injected with STZ-LPS (i.p) and supplemented with 1 g/kg of fish oil (STZ-LPS+FO1), and 5) rats injected with STZ-LPS (i.p) and supplemented with 3 g/kg of fish oil (STZ-LPS+FO3). The cerebral brain was extracted for examination, and the \u03b1\u03b2 precursor protein (APP) level was measured using an immunoassay kit, while \u03b1\u03b2 42 expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry staining. Brain amyloidosis-related genes were quantified using real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The results revealed that fish oil supplementation significantly increased APP levels and reduced \u03b1\u03b2 42 accumulations in STZ-LPS rats. Moreover, the Apolipoprotein E, \u03b54 isoform (ApoE-4) and Beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (Bace-1) genes were downregulated while the Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (Lrp-1) gene was upregulated in STZ-LPS rats treated with fish oil, thereby elucidating the impact of fish oil on diminishing \u03b1\u03b2 buildup in the brain. Therefore, this study contributes to a growing body of evidence supporting dietary interventions as adjunctive strategies for the prevention or delay of Alzheimer's disease progression in metabolic dysfunction."

Studies selected (1) involved clinical research investigating genetic factors or biomarkers associated with dementia or osteoporosis, and (2) were published in English in a peer-reviewed journal between July 1993 and March 2025.

Twenty-three studies were included in this review. These explored the role of the APOE polymorphism (n = 2) and the APOE4 allele (n = 13), associations between TREM2 mutation and late onset AD (n = 1), and associations between amyloid beta and bone remodeling (n = 1); bone-related biomarkers like DKK1, OPG, and TRAIL as predictors of cognitive change (n = 2); extracellular vesicles as bone-brain communication pathways (1); and the role of dementia-related genes (n = 1), AD-related CSF biomarkers (n = 1), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) (n = 1) in osteoporosis-dementia pathophysiology.

To date, LATE-NC is difficult to diagnose antemortem using clinical information or biomarkers. Recent studies suggest concentrations of extracellular vesicle (EVs) protein cargo derived from neuronal and glial cells may serve as useful diagnostic biomarkers for AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. TDP-43 was evaluated in neuronal (NDEVs), astrocyte (ADEVs), and microglial derived extracellular vesicles (MDEVs). EV preparations were isolated from the plasma of research subjects with autopsy-confirmed diagnoses, including many with LATE (n\u00a0=\u00a022). Quantified TDP-43 concentrations were compared to the cohort that included healthy controls, mild cognitively impairment (MCI), and AD dementia with diagnoses other than LATE-NC (n\u00a0=\u00a042). TDP-43 was significantly elevated in plasma ADEVs derived from autopsy confirmed LATE-NC subjects, with or without comorbid AD pathology. Measurable levels of TDP-43 were also detected in EV-depleted plasma; however, TDP-43 levels were not significantly different between persons with and without eventual autopsy confirmed LATE-NC. No correlation was observed between EV TDP-43 levels with cognition-based variables, sex, and APOE carrier status.

Of the 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2021, 3.8 million are women and 2.4 million are men. The strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD is apolipoprotein E-e4 (APOE-e4). Female APOE-e4 carriers develop AD more frequently than age-matched males and have more brain atrophy and memory loss. Consequently, biomarkers that are sensitive to biological risk factors may improve AD diagnostics and may provide insight into underlying mechanistic changes that could drive disease progression. Here, we have assessed the effects of sex and APOE-e4 on the miRNA cargo of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular vesicles (EVs) in AD. We used ultrafiltration (UF) combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to enrich CSF EVs (e.g., Flotillin+). CSF EVs were isolated from female and male AD or controls (CTLs) that were either APOE-e3,4 or -e3,3 positive (n = 7/group, 56 total). MiRNA expression levels were quantified using a custom TaqMan\u2122 array that assayed 190 miRNAs previously found in CSF, including 25 miRNAs that we previously validated as candidate AD biomarkers. We identified changes in the EV miRNA cargo that were affected by both AD and sex. In total, four miRNAs (miR-16-5p, -331-3p, -409-3p, and -454-3p) were significantly increased in AD vs. CTL, independent of sex and APOE-e4 status. Pathway analysis of the predicted gene targets of these four miRNAs with identified pathways was highly relevant to neurodegeneration (e.g., senescence and autophagy). There were also three miRNAs (miR-146b-5p, -150-5p, and -342-3p) that were significantly increased in females vs. males, independent of disease state and APOE-e4 status. We then performed a statistical analysis to assess the effect of APOE genotype in AD within each sex and found that APOE-e4 status affects different subsets of CSF EV miRNAs in females vs. males. Together, this study demonstrates the complexity of the biological factors associated with AD risk and the impact on EV miRNAs, which may contribute to AD pathophysiology."

An important role has emerged for small, non-coding RNA molecules known as microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative disorders. As epigenetic regulators, miRNAs possess the capacity to regulate and fine tune protein production by inhibiting translation. Several miRNAs, which include miR-146a, are elevated in the brain, CSF, and plasma of AD patients. miR-146a participates in pathways that regulate immune activation and has several mRNA targets which encode for proteins involved in cellular energy metabolism. An additional role for extracellular vesicles (EVs) has also emerged in the progression AD, as EVs can transfer functionally active proteins and RNAs from diseased to healthy cells. In the current study, we exposed various cell types present within the CNS to immunomodulatory molecules and observed significant upregulation of miR-146a expression, both within cells and within their secreted EVs. Further, we assessed the effects of miR-146a overexpression on bioenergetic function in primary rat glial cells and found significant reductions in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Lastly, we correlated miR-146a expression levels within various regions of the AD brain to disease staging and found significant, positive correlations. These novel results demonstrate that the modulation of miR-146a in response to neuroinflammatory stimuli may mediate the loss of mitochondrial integrity and function in cells, thereby contributing to the progression of beta-amyloid and tau pathology in the AD brain. Multiple inflammatory stimuli can upregulate miRNA-146a expression within neurons, mixed glial cells, and brain endothelial cells, which is either retained within these cells or released from them as extracellular vesicle cargo. The upregulation of miR-146a disrupts cellular bioenergetics in mixed glial cells. This mechanism may play a critical role in the neuroinflammatory response observed during Alzheimer's disease."

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

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

Notably, the synaptic plasticity regulator Arc was increased at the mRNA level, and the ER stress marker Hspa5 was upregulated at both transcript and protein levels. Morphine-derived BDEVs induced transcriptional alterations in na\u00efve cortical neurons, including changes in genes linked to synaptic remodeling and excitability. These findings suggest that BDEVs may contribute to opioid-induced neuroadaptations."

These endogenous carriers offer several advantages over conventional nanocarriers, such as liposomes. These advantages include high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, making them a promising platform for targeted drug delivery. In this review, we systematically summarize the biological characteristics of exosomes, methods for their isolation and purification, strategies for drug loading (including endogenous and exogenous approaches), and surface engineering techniques (such as genetic engineering and chemical modification) to enhance targeting and therapeutic efficacy, based on a comprehensive PubMed literature search. We particularly focus on the modification of engineered exosomes as drug delivery systems in various clinical contexts, covering multiple diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue repair. Administration routes include oral, subcutaneous, intranasal, and intravenous delivery. While exosomes have shown promise in preclinical studies, challenges remain in terms of large-scale production, standardized isolation, drug loading efficiency, and safety evaluation. Herein, we aim to provide a theoretical foundation and suggest future directions for developing exosomes as a next-generation drug delivery platform."

The current study rigorously investigated whether treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs could also alleviate several other neuropathological changes contributing to progressive cognitive decline. Three-month-old male and female 5xFAD mice received IN administrations of either hiPSC-NSC-EVs (~30\u2009\u00d7\u2009109/week for 2\u2009weeks) or vehicle. Two months later, the hippocampus of both male and female 5xFAD mice treated with the vehicle showed increased levels of markers of oxidative stress and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, altered expression of genes and/or proteins linked to mitochondria and autophagy, and diminished neurogenesis. In contrast, treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs restored levels of oxidative stress markers and the expression of genes and/or proteins linked to various mitochondrial complexes, mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, and mitophagy closer to na\u00efve control levels, indicating alleviation of mitochondrial impairments. These improvements were accompanied by reduced phosphorylated mTOR levels and multiple autophagy markers matching those in na\u00efve controls, suggesting a dampening of mTOR signaling and an enhancement of autophagy. Furthermore, mice treated with hiPSC-NSC-EVs showed increased hippocampal neurogenesis, associated with enhanced brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling. Overall, the results highlight that IN administrations of hiPSC-NSC-EVs in the early stages of AD can help slow the progression of multiple neuropathological changes associated with cognitive decline in 5xFAD mice and potentially AD."

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

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

Extracellular communication through astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) has received growing interest in association with astrocytopathies. However, to what extent ADEVs contribute to NMOSD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, through proteomic screening of patient-derived ADEVs, we observed an increase in apolipoprotein E (APOE)-rich ADEVs in patients with AQP4-Abs-positive NMOSD. Intracerebral injection of the APOE-mimetic peptide APOE130-149 attenuated microglial reactivity, neuroinflammation, and brain lesions in a mouse model of NMOSD. The protective effect of APOE in NMOSD pathogenesis was further established by the exacerbated lesion volume in APOE-deficient mice, which could be rescued by exogenous APOE administration. Genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. The transfusion ADEVs derived from patients with NMOSD and healthy controls also alleviated astrocyte loss, reactive microgliosis, and demyelination in NMOSD mice. The slightly larger beneficial effect of patient-derived ADEVs as compared to ADEVs from healthy controls was further augmented in APOE-/- mice. These results indicate that APOE from astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles could mediate disease-modifying astrocyte-microglia cross-talk in NMOSD."

Extracellular Hsp90\u03b1 (eHsp90\u03b1) and the ER stress marker GRP78 have been implicated in vascular injury; however, their roles in DAS remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 with DAS and explore the underlying mechanisms. We recruited patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with DAS. We then compared the levels and potential efficacies of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 between the two groups. We subsequently conducted cytological experiments and experiments with ApoE-/-\u00a0mice to further explore the underlying mechanisms involved. The serological analysis revealed that the levels of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 were significantly higher in the DAS group than in the DM group and that the eHsp90\u03b1 level was correlated with GRP78 level. The association and preliminary discriminative performance of the combination of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 levels were appeared higher than that of either marker alone. In addition, GRP78 plays a mediating role in the relationship between eHsp90\u03b1 and DAS. Furthermore, the expression of GRP78 was higher in both diabetic ApoE-/- mice and DAS patients than in control ApoE-/- mice and AS patients. Cytological experiments revealed that eHsp90\u03b1 induced endothelial barrier dysfunction mediated by ER stress via the LRP1 receptor. Our findings suggest that eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 are associated with diabetic atherosclerosis and may be associated biomarkers with potential discriminative value, although further validation is required. The eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. However, further large-scale and longitudinal studies are required to validate these findings."

However, effective therapeutic strategies are still lacking. Imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Given the established link between dysregulated lipid metabolism and amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) aggregation, we investigated whether chicoric acid (CA), a dietary polyphenol with reported lipid-modulating properties, could mitigate A\u03b2 pathology by modulating lipid metabolism in 5xFAD transgenic mice. In the brain, we found that CA upregulated the expression of liver X receptor Beta (LXR-\u03b2) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in 5xFAD mice. Through this pathway, it promoted apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipidation and enhanced the expression of A\u03b2-clearance proteins (IDE and LRP1). Notably, in the periphery, CA reshaped the gut microbiota in 5xFAD mice, which reduced serum neurotoxic bile acid levels and preserved the integrity of the peripheral A\u03b2 clearance system. Together, our study first demonstrated that CA globally regulated lipid homeostasis to alleviate A\u03b2 pathology by coordinating cerebral cholesterol efflux with peripheral bile acid metabolism. The findings facilitated exploring active compounds from traditional Chinese medicine that may reduce A\u03b2 deposition by targeting lipid metabolism pathways."

Interestingly, in vitro studies showed that PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations does not affect inflammation burden in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells, whereas it increases the content of exosomal miR-10b secreted by macrophages that have engulfed apoptotic cells (efferocytic macrophages). This study was aimed at investigating whether the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of PCA in arterial endothelial cells was due to the uptake of efferocytic macrophage exosomal miR-10b. A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b."

Uptake was assessed in PC12 cells. Behavioral and biochemical effects were tested in mice subjected to chronic restraint stress (CRS), chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia. Key outcomes included social interaction, sucrose preference, Morris water maze performance, sleep parameters, neurotransmitter levels (5-HT, GABA), and inflammatory markers. P. orientalis EVs exhibited bilayer vesicle morphology (\u223c100 nm) and contained abundant volatile compounds, particularly \u03b1-pinene. They were internalized by PC12 cells and reduced corticosterone-induced injury. In vivo, intranasal EV administration alleviated anxiety-like behaviors in CRS mice, restored sucrose preference and cognition in CUMS mice, and improved sleep onset and duration in PCPA-induced insomnia. Across models, EVs normalized serum and hippocampal 5-HT and GABA levels, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and increased TGF-\u03b2 expression. P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs exert significant anxiolytic, antidepressant, and soporific effects through multimodal mechanisms involving neurotransmitter regulation and anti-inflammatory activity.

The aim of this study was to map the distributions of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) and other synaptic proteins in the brain and the brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) of AD patients, analyze their associations with A\u03b2, tau, and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 allele, and investigate the biological role of SV2A. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of BDEVs and immunohistochemistry staining were conducted on postmortem brain samples from 57 AD patients and 48 nondemented controls. The levels of SV2A, synaptophysin (SYP), and other synaptic proteins in the brain tissues and the BDEVs, and their associations with A\u03b2, tau (phospho-tau and Braak stages), other proteins and the APOE \u03b54 allele, were analyzed. SV2A levels were significantly lower in AD patients than in nondemented controls, particularly in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. APOE \u03b54 carriers presented further reductions in SV2A levels compared with noncarriers. The SV2A levels in BDEVs and brain tissues were positively correlated with SYP levels and negatively correlated with A\u03b2 and phospho-tau levels. Reductions in SV2A were associated with decreased levels of other synaptic proteins, such as synaptotagmins, GAP43, and SNAP25. SV2A emerged as a central hub with interactions with proteins from subnetworks related to synaptic vesicle formation and fusion. SV2A levels in brain tissues and BDEVs are reduced in AD patients, particularly in those carrying the APOE \u03b54 allele, and are correlated with A\u03b2 and tau pathologies. SV2A may serve as a valuable biomarker for monitoring synaptic dysfunction and progression in AD."

Inspired by the neuroprotective properties of neural stem cell-derived exosomes (NExo) and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability of selenium, we develop an advanced NExo bearing ultrasmall nano-selenium (\u223c3.5 nm) via lipid-mediated nucleation (SeNExo). In addition to maintaining the biological components of NExo, the resulting SeNExo exhibits a Se-O bond that dramatically enhances its ROS-scavenging performance. SeNExo penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via the apolipoprotein E and prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (APOE_LRP-1) interaction. Through proteomics, microRNA (miRNA) omics, and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we find that SeNExo can alleviate neuronal apoptosis, restore glia homeostasis, and remodel glia-neuron networks. Therefore, SeNExo confers potent therapeutic benefits, significantly reducing cerebral lesions in a murine traumatic brain injury model. Even extending to a murine spinal cord injury model, SeNExo promotes locomotory recovery, further supporting SeNExo as a neotype and a promising therapeutic agent for treating traumatic CNS injury."

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

APOE is involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, phospholipids and other lipids, synaptic function and neuroinflammation in the CNS. One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2). The APOE gene exists in three common isoforms: APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4, with distinct structural and functional properties. The three isoforms of APOE vary in their potential to bind and transport lipids and cholesterol, receptor affinity and clearance of A\u03b2. Among the three isoforms, APOE4 is one of the strongest risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while APOE2 exerts a protective role highlighting the functional divergence among isoforms in CNS physiology. The functions of APOE are exerted through binding of APOE with members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, including LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, and APOER2. So, approaches that potentiate the protective effects of APOE, like APOE mimetics, ABCA1 agonists, targeting APOE receptors like LDLR, LRP1, APOER2, and TREM2, might offer significant therapeutic benefits in Alzheimer's disease."

The present review article evaluated emerging A\u03b2-directed therapies, focusing on mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety, and regulatory progress. The recent approvals of lecanemab and donanemab offered the first convincing evidence that reducing A\u03b2 burden can modestly slow cognitive decline in early AD. Beyond these first-generation monoclonal antibodies, the pipeline includes next-generation antibodies with enhanced brain penetration (trontinemab), therapies designed also for presymptomatic intervention (remternetug tested for secondary prevention), and novel approaches targeting galectin-3 to disrupt A\u03b2 aggregation and neuroinflammation. Active immunotherapies like UB-311 and small molecules such as ALZ-801, avoiding amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), broaden the therapeutic horizon with potentially safer and more accessible options, but with no proven efficacy. Clinical benefits for A\u03b2-centric therapies are modest, ARIA poses ongoing safety concerns, and high costs coupled with intensive monitoring limit accessibility. Regulators have begun to restrict approval to genetically defined subgroups according to apolipoprotein E genotype, underscoring the need for precision medicine. Therefore, while A\u03b2-centric therapies are incremental, they represent essential steps toward combination and precision strategies in the treatment of AD. Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) is a growing global health problem, with no cure currently available. Most existing treatments only relieve symptoms and do not slow the underlying disease process. One of the earliest and most important biological changes in AD is the buildup of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), a protein that forms plaques in the brain. For this reason, many new drugs have been designed to remove A\u03b2 or prevent it from accumulating. In recent years, several A\u03b2-targeting therapies have shown that they can successfully reduce amyloid plaques in the brain. These include monoclonal antibodies given by infusion or injection, vaccines that stimulate the immune system, and oral drugs designed to block the formation of toxic A\u03b2 species. Some of these treatments have reached late-stage clinical trials, and a few have received regulatory approval in certain regions. However, while these drugs clearly reduce amyloid levels, their effects on memory and daily functioning are modest, especially when used after symptoms have already appeared. In addition, treatment can be associated with side effects such as brain swelling or small brain bleeds, requiring frequent medical monitoring, costly for healthcare systems. Most evidence so far comes from carefully controlled randomized clinical trials, and real-world experience remains limited. Current research is therefore shifting toward earlier treatment, including prevention in people at high risk, improved drug delivery methods, and combination approaches that also target other disease processes such as tau pathology, inflammation, and vascular or metabolic changes. New blood-based biomarkers are also making it easier to diagnose AD earlier and to select patients more precisely. Overall, A\u03b2\u2013centered therapies represent an important scientific advance, but they are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Future progress in AD treatment will depend on better understanding how amyloid may interact with other brain changes, identifying the right patients at the right time, and developing safer, more affordable, and more comprehensive therapeutic strategies."

In the PS19 cortex, mRNA sequencing identified 917 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with microglial deconvolution revealing an association toward disease-associated microglia (DAM) gene signature and downregulation of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and cholesterol biosynthesis relative to WT. Cortical ncRNA profiling identified 466 differentially expressed ncRNAs, primarily circular RNAs (circRNAs; n = 331). In pEVs, 822 ncRNAs were differentially abundant, of which 657 circRNAs were identified in PS19 compared to WT mice. Cross-compartment integration suggest that pEV miRNA gene targets functionally mirrored genes involved in the brain's inflammatory and metabolic failure. We identified a preliminary candidate signature of 33 ncRNAs, including miR-5114 (up in brain, down in pEV), circ_0008242 and circ_0002153 (up in brain and pEV), and circ_0007688 (down in brain and pEV), differentially enriched across both brain and periphery in PS19 compared to WT mice. These results suggest that the pEV non-coding landscape may partially reflect central tau-mediated changes in the brain transcriptional response.

Epidemiological studies associate physical exercise with reduced AD risk (30-45%), yet mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. Preclinical studies demonstrate that exercise-induced myokines (Irisin, BDNF, Cathepsin B) modulate AD pathology by: (1) attenuating amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)/tau accumulation, (2) suppressing neuroinflammation, and (3) enhancing synaptic plasticity. However, human exercise interventions show conflicting results influenced by APOE genotype, age, and exercise modality. Associative human data suggest that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exemplifies pleiotropy-affording neuroprotective effects in acute contexts but potentially detrimental effects in states of chronic inflammation. Therapeutic hurdles include blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, pleiotropic risks, and patient heterogeneity. Emerging concepts such as combinatorial approaches (nanocarriers, exercise mimetics) and biomarker-driven trials are proposed as hypothetical future strategies; however, these remain unvalidated and require substantial preclinical development before implemented in clinical care. This narrative review is structured around three thematic sections: mechanistic foundations of myokine neuroprotection, translational barriers to therapeutic development, and a strategic framework for future research. The muscle-brain axis represents a compelling but complex therapeutic target. Based on current preclinical and correlational human evidence, future research should prioritize mechanistic rigor, standardized biomarker validation, and clinically viable delivery strategies. Notably, several approaches discussed herein-including nanocarrier delivery systems, exercise mimetics, and combinatorial myokine cocktails-remain speculative and are presented as future research directions rather than established therapeutic interventions."

However, the mechanisms governing immune-liver crosstalk in this context remain poorly defined. Proline/serine-rich coiled-coil protein 1 (PSRC1) is a known regulator of cholesterol metabolism, but whether macrophage-derived PSRC1 influences hepatic functions via intercellular communication is unknown. The relationship between macrophage PSRC1 and hepatic PCSK9 was examined in patients with coronary artery disease and murine models. We employed AAV6-mediated macrophage-specific targeting and whole-body Psrc1\u207b/\u207b mice to evaluate cell-type-specific effects. Macrophage-hepatocyte communication was investigated using transwell systems and genetic blockade of EV secretion (sh-Rab27a). The selectivity of EV cargo loading was validated by protease protection assays and TSG101 interaction analysis. In vivo EV tracking (DiI-labeling) and ChIP-qPCR for DNMT recruitment were performed to elucidate the systemic and epigenetic mechanisms. Macrophage PSRC1 expression was significantly reduced in atherosclerotic conditions and inversely correlated with hepatic PCSK9 levels. Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models. PSRC1 was found to interact with TSG101 to promote the selective loading of MBD2 into the EV lumen, a process confirmed by protease protection. These MBD2-enriched EVs were preferentially sequestered by the liver after systemic administration. Mechanistically, transferred MBD2 functioned as an epigenetic scaffold, recruiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1/3A) to the PCSK9 promoter to drive CpG hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. In vivo, administration of MBD2-enriched EVs significantly reduced hepatic PCSK9 protein, lowered plasma cholesterol, and enhanced plaque stability in ApoE\u207b/\u207b mice. Our findings uncover a novel macrophage-liver epigenetic axis where macrophage PSRC1 controls systemic cholesterol homeostasis by regulating the EV-mediated delivery of MBD2. This \"Reader-recruits-Writer\" mechanism provides a refined understanding of immune-metabolic crosstalk and suggests that engineered EV-based MBD2 delivery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for ASCVD."

As populations age worldwide, the epidemiological burden of AD is expected to more than double by 2050, surpassing 150\u00a0million affected individuals. While genetic susceptibility, particularly the apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE4) allele, modulates individual risk, most AD cases are late-onset and shaped by complex interactions between genetic background and modifiable environmental exposures. Environmental pollution has emerged as a critical and potentially preventable contributor to this burden. The 2024 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care has identified 14 modifiable risk factors, with air pollution explicitly included. Drawing on evidence from human epidemiological cohorts, experimental animal models, and in vitro neuronal/glial systems, the present review aims to synthesize mechanistic evidence linking environmental pollutant classes to AD-relevant neuropathology. The review examines the growing body of evidence linking major categories of environmental pollutants (ambient particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and emerging contaminants including microplastics and nanoplastics) to AD risk and pathogenesis. Special attention is given to studies showing that the characteristic neuropathological features of AD may emerge in children and young adults chronically exposed to heavily polluted urban environments, which highlights critical concerns about when and how these changes develop throughout life. Shared mechanistic pathways through which environmental pollutants promote neurodegeneration are discussed, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, tau kinase dysregulation, epigenetic reprogramming, and gut-brain axis dysbiosis. The review also examines the amplifying role of biological aging on neurotoxic vulnerability and proposes a comprehensive, multi-level prevention framework addressing individual exposure reduction, clinical risk identification, and population-level policy interventions."

As extracellular vesicles may serve as potential clinical delivery devices, we hypothesized that CD146 extracellular vesicles injection could be atheroprotective. We generated and purified extracellular vesicles from mouse endothelial cells deleted or not with CD146. In vitro stimulation of macrophages with CD146 extracellular vesicles induced macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype through the STAT3/IL-10 axis, whereas CD146-negative extracellular vesicles did not have any effect. We next tracked the trafficking of labeled extracellular vesicles after intravenous injection in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice and visualized their incorporation into atheroma. After bi-weekly injections of extracellular vesicles for 6 weeks, only ApoE-/- mice treated with CD146 extracellular vesicles exhibited a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque, associated with an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. We thus propose that treatment with CD146 extracellular vesicles could constitute a novel therapeutic option for reducing atherosclerosis."

Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulated lipid metabolism is not merely a metabolic disturbance but a critical modulator of inflammatory responses driving AD pathogenesis. The brain, one of the most lipid-enriched organs, relies on tightly controlled lipid homeostasis to maintain neuronal function and synaptic integrity. Alterations in fatty acid composition, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms, lipoprotein lipase activity, and lipid-derived signaling mediators profoundly reshape microglial activation states and inflammatory cascades. Obesity, insulin resistance, and gut microbiota dysbiosis further exacerbate systemic and central lipid imbalance, amplifying neuroinflammatory signaling through cytokine networks and blood-brain barrier disruption.

In recent years, more and more studies have shown the connection between lung and brain, so we used nasal administration of probiotics to observe the improvement of cognitive function in VaD rats.

The EA system effectively facilitated ASP delivery to brain tissue, yielding neuroprotective and barrier-repair effects.

The surface-displayed mitofusin proteins MFN1 and MFN2 direct MFNEVs to localize to mitochondria, as confirmed by confocal imaging and gel electrophoresis analysis. In both in vitro and in vivo models, siRNA-loaded MFNEVs effectively reduce the expression of mitochondrial DNA-encoded genes. Moreover, sgRNA-loaded MFNEVs can achieve CRISPR-based mitochondrial gene editing, resulting in a decreased mitochondrial DNA content. Mechanistic studies further reveal that the delivery is facilitated by the cooperation of the mitochondrial fusion machinery. These findings establish the feasibility and versatility of MFNEVs as a promising delivery solution for mitochondrial therapeutics."

As nanoscale messengers capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, EVs can transmit post-viral signals and orchestrate multi-target gene regulation in recipient cells through their microRNA (EV-miRNA) cargo. Our integrative analysis suggests that EV-miRNAs dysregulated in acute COVID-19, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's Disease (PD) converge on pathways governing neurovascular integrity, redox and metabolic homeostasis, and neuronal proteostasis. We propose that sustained dysregulation of these interconnected modules-driven by EV-mediated signalling-may underlie the perpetuation of neuro-PASC and accelerate neurodegeneration in susceptible individuals. Viewing EVs as mechanistic agents that both transmit and amplify pathogenic cues reframes them as actionable targets for intervention and risk stratification. This perspective calls for translational frameworks that leverage EVs to illuminate, predict, and modify the trajectory of post-viral neurodegeneration."

Rather than acting independently, these proteins often cross-seed, co-localize, and modulate each other's aggregation dynamics and toxicity. This review critically examines the mechanistic and pathological underpinnings of heterotypic protein co-aggregation, integrating biophysical, cellular, animal, and human data. This review further proposes a conceptual framework that views neurodegeneration as a network of interacting misfolded proteins shaped by age-related changes in lipid membranes, redox balance, proteostasis, and genetic factors. Emphasis is placed on translational opportunities: co-aggregation-specific biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and extracellular vesicles, and emerging multi-targeted therapies including immunotherapy, proteostasis modulators, and autophagy-inducing chimeras. This review also discusses the clinical implications of co-pathology in mixed dementias and overlapping disorders. It is therefore time to move beyond the classical one protein-one disease paradigm and embrace models that explicitly incorporate heterotypic co-aggregation, mixed pathologies, and shared vulnerability pathways across age-related disorders. By reframing co-aggregation as a central pathogenic mechanism, this review highlights the need for diagnostics and therapeutics that address the interconnectivity of protein misfolding in the ageing brains."

Exosomes, as nanoscale extracellular vesicles, emerge as potent modulators by crossing the blood-brain barrier and delivering functional cargos (miR-146a, miR-124, TREM2, IL-10) to target immune and neuronal cells. They induce M2 microglial polarization, inhibit A1 astrocyte transformation, and balance Treg/Th17 subsets, while suppressing NF-\u03baB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6) and elevate anti-inflammatory IL-10. Additionally, exosomes enhance A\u03b2/tau clearance via promoting phagocytosis and autophagy, and repair the blood-brain barrier to mitigate peripheral immune infiltration.

In this study, we investigated multiple immune-related pathways implicated in the management and clearance of A\u03b2 within circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and serum from individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) who later progressed to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A cytokine panel and the levels of A\u03b21-42 were quantified in both cEVs and serum from a longitudinally followed cohort of elderly with SCD, using mesoscale and Luminex technologies. We investigated associations with A\u03b2 burden, cognitive performance, APOE \u03b54 allele status, and the likelihood of conversion to MCI. In SCD patients, the concentrations of A\u03b21-42 and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) were higher, respectively, in cEVs and serum. No difference was observed for fraktaline, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3), and sCD40L in either cEVs or serum between SCD and control patients. Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, regression modeling, and correlations with cognitive performance, M-CSF levels in serum effectively distinguished individuals with SCD who converted to MCI from those who remained stable. Interestingly, combining M-CSF and cEVs A\u03b21-42 with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) cognitive scores provided an excellent classification for SCD converted to MCI up to 2 years prior to clinical diagnosis.

Traditional therapeutic strategies often face substantial limitations, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier, which restricts the delivery of pharmacological agents to the brain and consequently affects treatment effectiveness. In recent years, in order to enhance the efficacy of the central nervous system treatments, exosome-based approaches have gained interest. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) secreted by cells, present a feasible therapeutic strategy due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and transport bioactive molecules. Reflecting the traits of their parent cells (e.g., glioma stem cells and glioblastoma multiforme), exosomes can be isolated from body fluids, which enhances their clinical applicability. Additionally, intranasal delivery provides a non-invasive method to administer exosomes, using the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly target the brain. This method shows great promise in enhancing therapeutic efficacy for CNS disorders. However, challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance, enzymatic degradation, and limited bioavailability reduce efficacy. Advances in exosome engineering, nanocarrier systems, and novel delivery devices are under investigation to mitigate these constraints. However, clinical translation requires further research to guarantee safety, consistency, and scalability. In this context, intranasal exosome delivery holds considerable promise as a non-invasive strategy for central nervous system disorder treatment, contingent on overcoming the current biological and technical barriers."

Recent research underscores the significance of lipoproteins and the gut microbiota in the etiology of AD. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), particularly the E4 subtype, emerges as a key genetic risk factor, influencing oxidative stress, synaptic defects, glucose metabolism, and amyloid-\u03b2 clearance. Lipoprotein receptors, such as LRP-1, also influence the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, indicating potential for therapeutic applications. Novel therapies targeting lipoproteins, such as ALZ-801 and IDOL inhibitors, show promise in preclinical and clinical trials. Concurrently, the gut microbiome's impact on AD is increasingly recognized. Dysbiosis correlates with inflammation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and neurotransmitter imbalances. Gut-derived metabolites, including phenylalanine and isoleucine, promote Th1 cell activation and microglial dysfunction, exacerbating AD pathology. Interventions, like probiotics, GV-971, and polyphenols, demonstrate efficacy in restoring microbial balance and mitigating cognitive decline. Crucially, bidirectional interactions between lipoproteins and the gut microbiome are implicated in AD. ApoE genotypes influence gut microbial composition, while microbiota- derived short-chain fatty acids and endotoxins modulate lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation. These interactions, mediated via the gut-brain axis, highlight novel therapeutic avenues. Current FDA-approved AD drugs face limitations in efficacy and side effects, underscoring the need for innovative strategies targeting lipoprotein-gut microbiome crosstalk. Integrating insights into lipoprotein biology and gut microbiota dynamics may offer transformative potential for AD treatment, emphasizing combinatorial approaches to modulate these interconnected pathways. Further research is warranted to elucidate mechanistic links and translate preclinical findings into clinical applications."

Phloroglucinol, a polyphenolic antioxidant, has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in PD models but suffers from limited clinical applicability due to poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) exhibit neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties and serve as promising vehicles for targeted drug delivery across the BBB. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intranasally administered sEV-encased phloroglucinol (sEV-Phl) in a chronic MPTP rat model of PD. DPSC-derived sEV were isolated via density gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic-Light-Scattering (DLS), and CD marker expression. Phloroglucinol was encased in sEV (sEV-Phl) using sonication. Antioxidant properties were tested in vitro using an H2DCF.DA assay in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to 6-OHDA. Chronic MPTP-treated male Wistar rats received intranasal sEV-Phl, with motor and non-motor behaviours evaluated up to 4-weeks post-MPTP treatment. TH-positive neurons, neurogenesis (Ki67, BrdU and FOXA2), lipid-peroxidation, and neurotransmitter-levels were analyzed. sEV biodistribution was tracked via near-infrared imaging and localization in neuronal and glial cells was confirmed with PKH-26 labelling, with confocal-imaging further verifying localization in neuronal and glial cells. TNF-\u03b1 expression was assessed as a marker of neuroinflammation. sEV displayed high purity and homogeneity. sEV-Phl significantly reduced oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo, as indicated by decreased ROS and lipid peroxidation levels. sEV-Phl treated MPTP rats demonstrated marked improvement in motor and non-motor behaviours compared to MPTP rats. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased TH-positive neurons and enhanced neurogenesis in the SNpc of sEV-Phl-treated animals. Biodistribution studies confirmed efficient midbrain targeting of sEV, which were localized to dopaminergic-neurons, astrocytes and microglia. sEV-Phl also significantly reduced TNF-\u03b1 expression, indicating decreased neuroinflammation. This study provides the first instance of using DPSC-derived sEV as a delivery vehicle for phloroglucinol in a PD model. sEV-Phl demonstrated significant neuroprotective-effects, enhanced DA-neuron survival and neurogenesis, and reduced neuroinflammation. Intranasal delivery of sEV-Phl represents a promising non-invasive therapeutic strategy for PD, offering a dual benefit of antioxidative and neurogenic support."

OL loss is characterized by inflammation, immune cell activity, and a failure of remyelination due to oligodendrocyte dysfunction and death, ultimately leading to demyelination and axonal damage. Given their central role in maintaining CNS integrity, therapeutic strategies aimed at protecting or restoring OL function are essential. Moreover, the limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier to many therapeutic compounds remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for innovative delivery approaches. Among these, the intranasal (IN) route has emerged as a promising noninvasive strategy for targeting the CNS. Within this therapeutic framework, Transferrin (Tf), a glycoprotein involved in iron homeostasis, has been shown to promote both developmental myelination and remyelination by redistributing and delivering iron, an essential cofactor for OL maturation and oxidative metabolism. In parallel, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained increasing attention as mediators of intercellular communication and potential drug delivery vehicles to the brain, offering advantages such as minimal immunogenicity, efficient cellular uptake, and cargo protection from degradation.

In this study, the impact of drug characteristics, particularly lipophilicity, was evaluated to achieve a stable incorporation of model drugs into these lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs). This study explored the lipophilicity of flurbiprofen, a potential drug in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and its prodrug flurbiprofenaxetil across varying pH levels. Our findings highlight how flurbiprofen's lipophilicity was influenced by its protonation state, affecting its incorporation into LNPs and consequently its release behaviour under physiological conditions, while flurbiprofenaxetil showed minimal variations due to its chemical structure. We also investigated the interaction between lipoprotein mimicking nanoparticles and primary porcine brain capillary endothelial cells to improve drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Permeation studies indicated that modification with ApoE enhanced the bidirectional permeability of LNPs across the BBB through receptor-mediated transcytosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated and identified the uptake mechanism involving the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), allowing these LNPs to be recognized by the same receptors as endogenous lipoproteins. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of ApoE modified LNPs as a promising strategy for targeted drug delivery to the brain."

The strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD is apolipoprotein E-e4 (APOE-e4). Female APOE-e4 carriers develop AD more frequently than age-matched males and have more brain atrophy and memory loss. Consequently, biomarkers that are sensitive to biological risk factors may improve AD diagnostics and may provide insight into underlying mechanistic changes that could drive disease progression. Here, we have assessed the effects of sex and APOE-e4 on the miRNA cargo of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular vesicles (EVs) in AD. We used ultrafiltration (UF) combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to enrich CSF EVs (e.g., Flotillin+). CSF EVs were isolated from female and male AD or controls (CTLs) that were either APOE-e3,4 or -e3,3 positive (n = 7/group, 56 total). MiRNA expression levels were quantified using a custom TaqMan\u2122 array that assayed 190 miRNAs previously found in CSF, including 25 miRNAs that we previously validated as candidate AD biomarkers. We identified changes in the EV miRNA cargo that were affected by both AD and sex. In total, four miRNAs (miR-16-5p, -331-3p, -409-3p, and -454-3p) were significantly increased in AD vs. CTL, independent of sex and APOE-e4 status. Pathway analysis of the predicted gene targets of these four miRNAs with identified pathways was highly relevant to neurodegeneration (e.g., senescence and autophagy). There were also three miRNAs (miR-146b-5p, -150-5p, and -342-3p) that were significantly increased in females vs. males, independent of disease state and APOE-e4 status. We then performed a statistical analysis to assess the effect of APOE genotype in AD within each sex and found that APOE-e4 status affects different subsets of CSF EV miRNAs in females vs. males. Together, this study demonstrates the complexity of the biological factors associated with AD risk and the impact on EV miRNAs, which may contribute to AD pathophysiology."

An important role has emerged for small, non-coding RNA molecules known as microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative disorders. As epigenetic regulators, miRNAs possess the capacity to regulate and fine tune protein production by inhibiting translation. Several miRNAs, which include miR-146a, are elevated in the brain, CSF, and plasma of AD patients. miR-146a participates in pathways that regulate immune activation and has several mRNA targets which encode for proteins involved in cellular energy metabolism. An additional role for extracellular vesicles (EVs) has also emerged in the progression AD, as EVs can transfer functionally active proteins and RNAs from diseased to healthy cells. In the current study, we exposed various cell types present within the CNS to immunomodulatory molecules and observed significant upregulation of miR-146a expression, both within cells and within their secreted EVs. Further, we assessed the effects of miR-146a overexpression on bioenergetic function in primary rat glial cells and found significant reductions in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Lastly, we correlated miR-146a expression levels within various regions of the AD brain to disease staging and found significant, positive correlations. These novel results demonstrate that the modulation of miR-146a in response to neuroinflammatory stimuli may mediate the loss of mitochondrial integrity and function in cells, thereby contributing to the progression of beta-amyloid and tau pathology in the AD brain. Multiple inflammatory stimuli can upregulate miRNA-146a expression within neurons, mixed glial cells, and brain endothelial cells, which is either retained within these cells or released from them as extracellular vesicle cargo. The upregulation of miR-146a disrupts cellular bioenergetics in mixed glial cells. This mechanism may play a critical role in the neuroinflammatory response observed during Alzheimer's disease."

Some studies now link the pathway dysfunction of the EVs to apolipoprotein E gene variant (APOE \u03b54) and the risk of progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD). To better understand the role of APOE \u03b54 in pre-clinical AD, we have determined levels of pathogenic, neurotrophic and inflammatory proteins in peripheral EVs (pEVs) and in plasma from cognitively impaired, no dementia (CIND) participants stratified upon the absence (APOE \u03b54-) or the presence (APOE \u03b54+ ) of the \u03b54 allele of APOE. Levels of 15 neurodegenerative, neurotrophic and neuroinflammatory proteins were quantified in pEVs and compared to their plasma levels from cognitively normal and CIND participants. Levels of neurotrophic and inflammatory markers were reduced in pEVs from APOE \u03b54+. The pentraxin-2/\u03b1-synuclein ratio measured in pEVs was able to predict AD 5 years before the onset among APOE \u03b54+-CIND individuals.

Increasing evidence indicates that these vesicles participate in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including immune regulation, tissue repair, tumor progression, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular homeostasis. Their distinctive biological properties have consequently generated considerable interest in their development as diagnostic tools, therapeutic agents, and drug-delivery platforms. Recent progress in exosome biology and biogenesis, together with technological advances in vesicle isolation, characterization, engineering, and large-scale production, has accelerated their preclinical development and early clinical translation. Nevertheless, substantial challenges-including donor-cell heterogeneity, low production yields, insufficiently standardized protocols, and regulatory uncertainty-must be addressed before widespread clinical implementation can be achieved. This narrative review integrates current knowledge of exosome biology, diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and engineering strategies. It further examines major translational barriers and outlines future priorities for advancing exosome-based technologies toward precision medicine."

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

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

Here, we isolated BDEVs from the prefrontal cortex of rats chronically exposed to morphine and performed integrated transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of EV cargo. Total RNA sequencing and unbiased proteomics identified morphine-associated changes enriched for pathways related to synaptic plasticity, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial function, and neurodegeneration. Notably, the synaptic plasticity regulator Arc was increased at the mRNA level, and the ER stress marker Hspa5 was upregulated at both transcript and protein levels. Morphine-derived BDEVs induced transcriptional alterations in na\u00efve cortical neurons, including changes in genes linked to synaptic remodeling and excitability.

These endogenous carriers offer several advantages over conventional nanocarriers, such as liposomes. These advantages include high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, making them a promising platform for targeted drug delivery. In this review, we systematically summarize the biological characteristics of exosomes, methods for their isolation and purification, strategies for drug loading (including endogenous and exogenous approaches), and surface engineering techniques (such as genetic engineering and chemical modification) to enhance targeting and therapeutic efficacy, based on a comprehensive PubMed literature search. We particularly focus on the modification of engineered exosomes as drug delivery systems in various clinical contexts, covering multiple diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue repair. Administration routes include oral, subcutaneous, intranasal, and intravenous delivery. While exosomes have shown promise in preclinical studies, challenges remain in terms of large-scale production, standardized isolation, drug loading efficiency, and safety evaluation. Herein, we aim to provide a theoretical foundation and suggest future directions for developing exosomes as a next-generation drug delivery platform."

The disease is clinically diagnosed by the presence of \u03b2-amyloid (A\u03b2), hyperphosphorylated tau, and neurodegeneration. Animal models serve as an indispensable tool to understanding AD pathogenesis and evaluating potential therapeutic approaches. However, despite the development of more than 200 rodent models, species-specific differences limit the translational relevance. Brain organoids generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the potential to bridge the gap between transgenic mouse models and clinical trials in human patients. Herein, we describe a robust stimulus-based neuroimmune organoid model that demonstrates neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and lipid dysregulation with AD-relevant pathological markers. Using planar organoids containing neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular cells, we performed in-depth characterization of the induced AD-like phenotype using supernatant proteomic analysis, immunofluorescence staining, NfL and GFAP release, scRNAseq, bulk RNAseq, and pathway analysis both acutely (24 h) and chronically (7 days). Furthermore, we show that the induced neuroinflammation, lipid dysregulation, and neurodegeneration can be ameliorated using small molecules.

Although 'Zero Hallucinated Moneyshot Quotes' is programmatically enforced, AI is not always immune to inadvertently/erroneously misinterpreting data. This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\n\"Discovery: Considering PubMed #41177462, intranasal S-GEVs co-functionalized with ApoE peptides may bypass the cribriform plate and target astrocytic LRP1 receptors in order to suppress NF-\u03baB and may resolve some neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's and ALS.\"\n\nThe claim is **plausible but requires gap-filling regarding the specific mention of PubMed #41177462**, as this ID is not present in the provided literature. The provided literature independently supports the mechanism: intranasal delivery platforms, ApoE peptide functionalization, LRP1 targeting, and the resulting suppression of the NF-\u03baB inflammatory axis in CNS disorders.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific literature demonstrates that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be engineered to bypass the blood-brain barrier via intranasal administration. Targeted delivery to LRP1 receptors in the brain, achieved through ligands like ApoE peptides, facilitates downstream suppression of the NF-\u03baB neuroinflammatory cascade, providing a therapeutic avenue for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nNeurodegenerative conditions such as AD and ALS are increasingly framed as systemic disorders characterized by chronic neuroinflammation. Intranasal delivery is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for direct drug transport to the brain via the nose-to-brain pathway, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and improving therapeutic efficacy. Research demonstrates that LRP1 serves as a critical signaling hub; functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). This convergence of LRP1 targeting and NF-\u03baB inhibition is supported by broad evidence across these disorders. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Targeted Engineering:** Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting.\n*   **Vesicle Versatility:** Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.\n*   **Metabolic Reprogramming:** LEVs-SIRT2-KD were readily internalized by microglia in vivo following intranasal delivery.\n*   **Cholesterol Coupling:** Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1.\n*   **Inflammatory RNA:** Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes.\n*   **Proteinopathy Neutralization:** 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.\n*   **Complement Cascade:** The complement cascade is closely related to AD-associated pathological processes; however, the precise mechanisms underlying its contributions remain incompletely elucidated.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

The provided literature supports the efficacy of intranasal delivery, the role of ApoE in LRP1-mediated regulation of inflammatory signaling, and the importance of metabolic rescue (including oxidative phosphorylation and lipid metabolism) in both AD and ALS.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nCurrent literature supports the conceptual framework that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can serve as biological carriers capable of bypassing the blood-brain barrier to modulate neuroinflammatory pathways. Intranasal delivery provides a rapid, non-invasive route to the central nervous system, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and first-pass metabolism. The pivotal signaling axis connecting these processes is the interaction between ApoE and LRP1. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. This is further validated by observations that genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. Furthermore, the eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. Metabolic dysfunction is a key contributor to disease pathogenesis, as imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Restoration of bioenergetics, specifically through modulation of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, is facilitated by therapeutic EV delivery, as seen in findings where uptake of these vesicles markedly enhanced microglial bioenergetics, driving coordinated upregulation of both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells.\n*   They mimicked the protective effect of recombinant ApoE3Ch on endothelial integrity by restoring \u03b2-catenin nuclear localization.\n*   Some of these differentially expressed miRNAs were associated with key AD-related comorbidities such as APOE genotype, age, and metabolic burden and were predicted to target genes within NF-\u03baB -regulated inflammatory pathways.\n*   We demonstrated the remarkable potential of MenSC-EVs in alleviating atherosclerosis through the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway.\n*   APOE \u03b54 carriers presented further reductions in SV2A levels compared with noncarriers.\n*   SeNExo penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via the apolipoprotein E and prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (APOE_LRP-1) interaction.\n*   In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons.\n*   One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2).\n*   Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

This approach has shown potential in the treatment of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and acute psychiatric conditions, as well as in emergencies such as anxiety attacks and migraine episodes. Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine, among other drugs, have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy. In addition, FDA-approved intranasal products indicated for central nervous system disorders, including diazepam and midazolam for seizure management, and triptans for migraine, demonstrate the growing clinical relevance of intranasal drug delivery. Both preclinical and clinical studies have reported encouraging outcomes, particularly when intranasal delivery is combined with nanoformulations and specialised delivery devices designed to enhance olfactory deposition. Intranasal administration is non-invasive, painless, and may improve patient adherence while enhancing brain bioavailability. Nevertheless, further well-designed clinical studies are required to establish the long-term safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of this delivery strategy."

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

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

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHE), a blood-brain barrier-permeable sesquiterpene lactone with established anti-inflammatory activity, represents a promising but unexplored therapeutic candidate for ALS/FTD. The therapeutic effects of DHE were evaluated in primary mouse and human astrocytes expressing ALS/FTD-associated RNA-binding protein pathology, ALS patient-derived fibroblasts, and primary cortical neurons exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. Drosophila models expressing mutant FUS or TDP-43 in glial cells were used to assess locomotor performance and survival. Molecular analyses examined nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent antioxidant responses, protein aggregation, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory mediator production. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured in patients with sporadic ALS. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy. DHE attenuated astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity and improved neuronal mitochondrial function in conditioned-medium assays. In addition, DHE reduced pathological FUS accumulation in FUS P525L-expressing astrocytes and in stress-challenged patient-derived fibroblasts. In Drosophila models, DHE significantly improved locomotor function and extended survival. Translationally, the chemokines CXCL10, CCL3, and CCL19 were elevated in plasma from patients with ALS, were induced by FUS or TDP-43 pathology in astrocytes, and were suppressed by DHE treatment, supporting the clinical relevance of the inflammatory pathways targeted by DHE. DHE mitigates astrocyte-driven neurotoxicity associated with ALS/FTD-related RNA-binding protein pathology by suppressing inflammatory signaling and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. The consistent therapeutic effects observed across mouse and human cellular models, patient-derived samples, and in vivo Drosophila models support further investigation of DHE as a potential therapeutic strategy for ALS/FTD and highlight astrocyte-mediated signaling pathways as actionable targets in neurodegenerative disease."

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."

While Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is known for its immunomodulatory properties, its specific role in ALS pathogenesis has not been fully established. This study aimed to characterize the expression patterns and functional significance of SLPI in ALS models. The study utilized SOD1G93A mice to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of SLPI expression in the gastrocnemius muscle, lumbar spinal cord, and serum across different disease stages. In vitro functional assays were conducted using siRNA-mediated knockdown of SLPI in BV2 (microglia), MA (astrocytes), and NSC-34 (motor neurons) cell lines. Additionally, recombinant SLPI protein was applied to LPS-stimulated BV2 cells to investigate its effect on the TLR4/ NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. In SOD1G93A mice, SLPI was significantly upregulated in the gastrocnemius muscle from the pre-symptomatic stage (60 days) through the late stage (130 days). In the lumbar spinal cord, SLPI showed a transient initial increase but declined sharply by the end-stage; a similar significant reduction was observed in late-stage serum levels. In vitro, SLPI knockdown exacerbated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in all three cell types and impaired the antioxidant capacity of NSC-34 motor neurons. Mechanistically, recombinant SLPI attenuated inflammation in BV2 cells by modulating the TLR4/NF-\u03baB pathway. The dynamic changes in SLPI levels suggest its potential relevance as a candidate molecule for disease staging. Meanwhile, its protective effects in regulating inflammation suggest that it could be a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating ALS-associated neuroinflammation."

Participants were classified into biomarker-defined groups based on predefined cutoff values for A\u03b242 and phosphorylated tau (P-tau). We compared cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of complement proteins (C1q, C2, C3, C4a, C5, C6, C8b, and factor B) across these subgroups. Furthermore, we explored their associations with core AD biomarkers (A\u03b242, P-tau, and T-tau) and clinical characteristics.

Complement protein levels were influenced by factors such as age, gender, body mass index, APOE genotype, and hypertension. Compared with control mice, the complement gene C1qa in microglia was upregulated throughout the entire pathological cycle in 3xTg AD mice.ConclusionsComplement proteins undergo significant changes during the pathogenesis of AD, and alterations in their levels may reflect early pathological changes in AD and warrant further investigation.

Chronic high-fat diet (HFD) consumption disrupts blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, a pivotal pathological event that facilitates neurotoxic infiltration, neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury. Brain pericytes play a central role in maintaining BBB function and are particularly vulnerable to HFD-induced metabolic stress. Loss or dysfunction of pericytes contributes to BBB breakdown. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which is highly expressed in pericytes, is a critical regulator of neurovascular integrity; its downregulation activates the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling cascade, thereby exacerbating BBB permeability. This study aimed to investigate whether the traditional Chinese medicine formula Zexieyin Formula (ZXYF) ameliorates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting pericyte dysfunction. We hypothesized that ZXYF exerts neuroprotective effects by restoring pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, suppressing activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and consequently attenuating hippocampal neuronal damage. Both in vivo and in vitro models were employed to elucidate the underlying neurovascular mechanisms. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 16 weeks to induce cognitive impairment, followed by a 4-week intervention with ZXYF; atorvastatin (ATO) served as a positive control. Cognitive function was evaluated using a battery of behavioral tests. BBB integrity was assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blot analysis of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Cerebrovascular permeability was further evaluated using sodium fluorescein extravasation assays combined with co-localization analysis with the endothelial marker CD31. Pericyte-associated LRP1 expression in the hippocampus was examined by immunofluorescent co-localization of LRP1 with the pericyte marker PDGFR-\u03b2. Activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway in hippocampal tissue was analyzed by Western blotting. In vitro, mouse brain microvascular pericytes (MBVPs) were exposed to free fatty acids (FFA) to model metabolic stress. LRP1 expression and localization were assessed by confocal microscopy, and protein levels of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway were determined by Western blotting. An LRP1-knockdown MBVPs cell line was generated via lentiviral transduction to evaluate LRP1 dependence. HFD-fed mice exhibited pronounced cognitive deficits, which were significantly ameliorated by ZXYF treatment. TEM and Western blot analyses revealed marked BBB disruption in HFD-fed mice, characterized by ultrastructural abnormalities and reduced expression of ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Immunofluorescence demonstrated increased sodium fluorescein leakage in the hippocampus, indicating cerebrovascular damage, which was partially reversed by ZXYF. Mechanistically, confocal imaging showed a significant reduction in LRP1 expression in hippocampal pericytes of HFD-fed mice, accompanied by activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway. ZXYF intervention restored pericyte-associated LRP1 expression and suppressed pathway activation. Consistently, lentivirus-mediated LRP1 knockdown in MBVPs abolished the inhibitory effects of ZXYF on CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling, demonstrating that ZXYF-mediated pathway regulation is LRP1-dependent. This study demonstrates that ZXYF alleviates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting BBB function. ZXYF restores pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, thereby inhibiting the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and protecting hippocampal neurons. These findings identify pericytes and the LRP1/CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 axis as critical therapeutic targets in metabolic cognitive disorders and provide a novel mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective effects of traditional Chinese medicine."

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis."

However, persistent or dysregulated inflammation contributes significantly to the progression of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advances in RNA biology have identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, as key modulators of inflammatory signaling networks. These RNA molecules regulate key pathways such as NF-\u03baB, STAT3, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT, thereby influencing immune responses, tumor progression, neuronal survival, and cellular stress adaptation. In parallel, RNA-sensing receptors, including Toll-like receptors and RIG-I-like receptors, connect innate immune activation with chronic inflammatory pathology. Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes. In cancer, RNA-mediated feedback loops sustain tumor-promoting inflammation, metastasis, and immune evasion, whereas in neurodegenerative disorders, they contribute to glial activation, neuronal dysfunction, and progressive neuroinflammation. This review examines the mechanistic relationship between RNA dysregulation and inflammation across cancer and neurodegeneration, with particular emphasis on RNA signaling networks, exosomal communication, and targeted RNA-based therapeutics. Collectively, advances in understanding the RNA-inflammation axis may reveal new opportunities for precision diagnostics and next generation therapeutic interventions."

Neuroinflammation, as an early and sustained driver of AD, places the NLRP3 inflammasome at the center of pathological and therapeutic focus. In this review, we synthesize recent advances in the structure, assembly, and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and evaluate its contribution to AD using evidence from human brain tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, and diverse AD animal models. Available data consistently support aberrant NLRP3 activation in AD brain, where it is closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition, tau pathology, glial reactivity, and cognitive decline. We further discuss the cell-type-specific roles of microglia and astrocytes, highlighting microglia as the principal effector cells in inflammasome-associated pathology. Mechanistically, A\u03b2 and tau converge on NLRP3 activation through interconnected pathways involving K+ efflux, lysosomal rupture, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired autophagy. Downstream IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, and gasdermin D amplify neuroinflammation and neuronal injury. We summarize emerging therapeutic strategies directly targeting its core components or downstream effectors, as well as anti-AD agents with indirect NLRP3 modulation including endogenous molecules, repurposed drugs, and natural products. Collectively, this review regards NLRP3 inflammasome as a critical inflammatory hub and a promising target for disease-modifying therapy in AD, and provide useful perspectives on AD pathogenesis and inform the development of more rational therapeutic strategies."

Currently, effective therapeutic strategies for HIE remain limited and require further exploration. Emerging evidence indicates that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HIE. Nevertheless, clinically effective anti-inflammatory agents specifically targeting HIE are still lacking. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is a biologically significant metabolite involved in various cellular metabolic pathways. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of G3P against hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced brain injury by modulating microglial activation. In LPS-treated microglia, G3P suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, restored mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and promoted a shift toward an anti-inflammatory microglial phenotype. In addition, G3P treatment in zebrafish showed no toxicity and significantly mitigated HI-induced oxidative stress, while suppressing both the recruitment and pro-inflammatory activation of mpeg1\u207a macrophages and lyzc\u207a neutrophils. Moreover, administration of G3P dramatically reduced infarct volume and alleviated neuronal loss in rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Y-maze and Morris water maze tests demonstrated that G3P treatment significantly enhanced spatial learning and memory in HIBD rats. Furthermore, G3P markedly reduced the hyperactivation of microglia and astrocytes in both cortical and hippocampal regions. Mechanistically, Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses revealed that G3P exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclic GMP-AMP synthase -stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signalling pathway and its downstream TBK1/the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling pathway. These findings highlight G3P as a promising therapeutic candidate for HIE."

Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) and chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) are fluid biomarkers of microglial and astrocytic reactivity associated with AD progression. However, their coupling to amyloid and tau pathology, stage-specific roles, and prognostic utility remain unclear. This systematic review synthesized evidence from 2021 to 2025 on associations of sTREM2 and YKL-40 with AD progression. This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore, and Web of Science were searched (Jan 2021-Dec 2025), with citation searching. Duplicates were removed using EndNote X21 (Clarivate, London, UK). Two independent reviewers screened records using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) criteria, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Original human studies measuring sTREM2 and/or YKL-40 across the AD spectrum were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to heterogeneity in study design and outcomes, a narrative synthesis was performed. Thirteen studies were included: seven on sTREM2, five on YKL-40, and one on both. Six were low risk of bias, and seven were moderate. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 showed a biphasic pattern across disease stages, with early potential neuroprotective associations and later correlation with cortical atrophy and cognitive decline. A sex-APOE \u03b54 interaction was observed, with higher levels in female carriers. YKL-40 showed weak amyloid associations but strong coupling with tau pathology and neurodegeneration, influenced by vascular risk factors. Plasma YKL-40 predicted incident dementia and cognitive decline, and serum YKL-40 differentiated early dementia from controls with good diagnostic performance. sTREM2 and YKL-40 represent biologically distinct but complementary neuroinflammatory pathways in AD. sTREM2 reflects a stage-dependent microglial response, while YKL-40 reflects tau-associated astrocytic activation modulated by vascular factors.

Although amyloid-beta deposition and tau pathology are the defining pathological features of AD, increasing evidence indicates that immune dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation also contribute to disease onset and progression. However, the specific immune pathways involved in AD and their mechanistic relevance remain incompletely understood. The major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) antigen processing and presentation pathway has attracted growing attention because of its classical role in adaptive immunity and its potential functions within the central nervous system. In this narrative review, we summarize current evidence linking AD to the MHC-I, or human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I), pathway from genetic, molecular, cellular, and immunological perspectives. Available studies implicate the broader HLA region in AD susceptibility and suggest that alterations in HLA-I-related loci, antigen-processing machinery, MHC-I-associated molecules, and downstream immune responses may contribute to disease heterogeneity. At the molecular and cellular levels, changes in MHC-I molecules, antigen-processing machinery, and associated signaling pathways have been reported in microglia, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglial lineage cells. In parallel, changes involving \u03b22-microglobulin and the presence of expanded or cytotoxic like CD8+ T cells suggest that adaptive immune mechanisms may participate in AD pathology. Nevertheless, direct evidence demonstrating immune responses specific to particular antigens and restricted by HLA-I in human AD remains limited. Overall, current findings indicate that the MHC-I/HLA-I pathway may represent an important component of AD pathophysiology and contribute to disease progression by influencing immune homeostasis and cellular interactions within the central nervous system. Further studies integrating human tissue analysis, immunopeptidomics, spatial profiling, and paired T cell receptor approaches are needed to clarify its mechanistic, biomarker, and therapeutic significance."

While probiotics show therapeutic potential via the gut brain axis, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of Leuconostoc mesenteroides lysate and its bioactive metabolites in an A\u03b2-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma model. SH-SY5Y cells were challenged with A\u03b2 and treated with L. mesenteroides lysate. Neuroprotective effects were evaluated via ROS accumulation, SOD1, APOE, NOS2, and mitochondrial dynamics (MFF, OPA1) using qPCR and WB. Potential mechanisms of action were explored computationally through integrated genome mining (antiSMASH 7.0), molecular docking (CB-Dock2), and systems pharmacology analysis (STRING/KEGG/R-studio) to identify candidate metabolites and host targets. L. mesenteroides lysate significantly attenuated A\u03b2-induced ROS levels and upregulated SOD1, enhancing antioxidant capacity. The lysate effectively downregulated APOE expression and restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing mitochondrial fission (MFF) and promoting fusion (OPA1). In silico analysis predected phytoene as a primary bioactive metabolite with significant theoretical binding affinity for APOE. Systems biology mapping revealed highly significant enrichment in PPAR signaling and cholesterol metabolism pathways (FDR\u2009<\u200910\u207b\u2075).

Although the primary mechanical insult is typically unilateral, secondary pathological processes can extend beyond the impact site. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of these bilateral alterations remains poorly understood. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous neuromodulator with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising candidate for limiting secondary brain injury. Here, we characterized the bilateral hippocampal response to experimental TBI and evaluated whether early intranasal NPY administration post-TBI attenuates neurovascular and neuroinflammatory alterations while improving behavioral outcomes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a closed-head weight-drop model of TBI and treated intranasally with NPY (100\u00a0\u03bcg/animal) or vehicle 30\u00a0min after injury. Molecular, histological, and behavioral analyses were performed 48\u00a0h and 7\u00a0days post-injury. We concluded that TBI induced distinct spatiotemporal pathological responses in the hippocampi. The ipsilateral hippocampus exhibited early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and astrocytic alterations, whereas the contralateral hippocampus developed a more pronounced and sustained inflammatory response characterized by microglial activation and increased expression of inflammatory and endothelial activation markers. Early intranasal NPY administration attenuated these bilateral pathological alterations by preserving BBB integrity, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, and normalizing glial morphology. These neurobiological effects were accompanied by improvements in spatial working memory and anxiety-related behaviors. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that unilateral TBI induces distinct bilateral secondary injury responses within the hippocampus and identify early intranasal NPY administration as a promising strategy. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and establish the long-term therapeutic potential of NPY."

Hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable vascular risk factor, but whether its association with AD differs across APOE genotypes remains unclear. We examined the interaction between HTN and APOE genotypes in relation to incident AD and explored plasma proteomic correlates as potential biological clues. Longitudinal data from 318,923 UK Biobank participants without dementia were analyzed; participants had a mean age of 56.24 years, an APOE \u03b54 frequency of 28.29%, and a median follow-up period of 13 years. Cox proportional hazards models with competing-risk adjustment for death were used to assess additive and multiplicative interactions between HTN and APOE genotypes. Plasma proteomic data from 34,141 participants, covering 2790 proteins, were further analyzed using mediation and bioinformatics approaches. HTN showed a significant multiplicative interaction with APOE \u03b54 status for incident AD (p < .001). The association between HTN and AD risk was strongest among APOE \u03b52 carriers, followed by \u03b533 carriers and \u03b54 carriers, with hazard ratios of 1.570, 1.213, and 1.129, respectively.

The association between HTN and incident AD varies across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. These findings suggest genotype-dependent heterogeneity in vascular contributions to AD risk. Proteomic results should be interpreted as exploratory biological clues and require further validation. The association between hypertension and incident Alzheimer\u2019s disease differed across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were screened for primary studies examining PA in adults classified by baseline cognitive status as cognitively unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. Primary studies reporting APOE \u03b54-stratified outcomes were extracted and qualitatively synthesized by outcome domain, cognitive stage, and study design. Of 2,100 records identified, seven systematic reviews met inclusion criteria, yielding 68 unique primary studies. Favorable associations between PA and cognitive, biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes were most often reported in observational studies of younger or cognitively unimpaired adults. Several studies suggested stronger associations among APOE \u03b54 carriers, including midlife cognitive associations, neuroimaging markers, and vascular/metabolic outcomes such as lipid profiles. In contrast, randomized controlled trials were few, generally enrolled older adults with MCI or dementia, included small APOE \u03b54 subgroups, and reported largely null or mixed genotype-specific effects. The current evidence does not establish a definitive APOE \u03b54-specific preventive effect of PA. Future studies may be most informative if they target earlier-stage, low-active, or metabolically at-risk APOE \u03b54 carriers using objective PA measures and proximal vascular, metabolic, imaging, or blood-based biomarker outcomes."

Sensitive cognitive measures, in addition to biomarkers of amyloid pathology, add to the efficiency of secondary prevention trials by identifying cognitively normal individuals at greatest risk of clinical progression. The Stages of Objective Memory Impairment (SOMI) system, based on the picture version of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with immediate recall (pFCSRT+IR), predicted clinical progression in two observational studies. Our objective was to extend SOMI's findings to clinical trials using participants from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's(A4) study. Eligible participants were cognitively normal, had a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) =0, an elevated amyloid level, the pFCSRT+IR, pTau217, and longitudinal data on the CDR. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of baseline SOMI stage for clinical progression defined by time to the first of 2 consecutive CDRs > 0 or CDR>0 at last assessment. The sample was censored at 4.5 years of follow-up. Of the 911 eligible participants, mean age was 72 years, 59% were female, 62% were APOE \u03b54 carriers, and 37% progressed over 4.5 years. Hazard ratios (HR) for progression were estimated with follow-up time as the timescale and the SOMI 0 group as the reference. The HRs for progression across SOMI stage increased from 1.48(1.15-1.92 p=.003) for SOMI-1, to 1.83 (1.32-2.54, p \u2264 0.001) for SOMI-2, and to 3.04 (1.97-4.68, p \u2264 0.001) for SOMI 3/4.

While BMSC-derived small extracellular vesicles (BMSC-Exo) are neuroprotective, their ability to repair mitochondrial deficits is limited. We engineered mitochondrial-enriched sEVs (Exo-Mito) to evaluate their effects on microglia-neuron interactions in a PD-relevant model. BMSC-Exo-Mito were characterized via TEM, NTA, and immunoblotting. Their therapeutic efficacy was assessed using an MPP\u00a0+\u00a0-induced BV2/SH-SY5Y transwell co-culture model. Assessments included ROS levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP quantification, mitophagy flux, and signaling pathway analysis. Exo-Mito significantly restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing ROS, preserving membrane potential, and increasing ATP production. Mechanistically, Exo-Mito enhanced PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy and PGC-1alpha/TFAM-mediated biogenesis. In BV2 microglia, Exo-Mito suppressed the NF-kappaB/NLRP3 axis, reduced proinflammatory cytokines, and promoted M2 polarization. In SH-SY5Y cells with dopaminergic phenotype, Exo-Mito was associated with reactivated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, preserved tyrosine hydroxylase expression, and inhibited apoptosis. Functionally, Exo-Mito improved SH-SY5Y cell and restored microglial migratory capacity, showing superior efficacy to unmodified BMSC-Exo. Mitochondria-enriched BMSC sEVs protect SH-SY5Y cells by coordinating mitochondrial quality control and modulating neuroinflammation.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a lipid transport protein that plays a central role in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins and the transport of lipids within tissues. Among its three major isoforms, only ApoE4 has a unique structural variant that confers significant neurotoxicity not present in the other two subtypes. ApoE4 not only disrupts lipid metabolism but also interferes with neuroimmune regulation and mitochondrial dynamics, thereby impairing synaptic integrity. It is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and accelerates its age of onset. Although developing depression in midlife may be a risk factor for AD, the underlying mechanisms by which ApoE4 influences depression or depression-related behaviors associated with AD remain fragmented, and systematic integrative reviews on this topic are scarce. We integrate existing evidence to elucidate the role of ApoE4 in depression or AD-associated prodromal depressive-like behaviors, with a focus on how its dysfunction disrupts cellular lipid homeostasis, impairs synaptic plasticity, and damages mitochondrial function. We also explored specific therapeutic strategies targeting the pathological defects of ApoE4 that enhance synaptic resilience, and utilizing conformational modulating small molecules such as EZ-482 and ALZ-801 to treat depressive symptoms in early AD. Thus, these findings indicate that ApoE4 may influence the progression of depressive phenotypes through multiple pathological pathways, making it a promising therapeutic target for treating depression comorbid with early AD."

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer-enclosed membrane vesicles secreted by diverse cell types that mediate communication between the periphery and CNS through the delivery of various bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and non-coding RNA, thereby exerting immunomodulatory functions. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that EVs contribute to immune regulation during the initiation and progression of CNS diseases by modulating pathological processes, including neuroinflammation, pro-inflammatory polarization of glial cells, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis. Previous studies have reported that exercise exerts neuroprotective effects in CNS diseases through EVs-mediated immune regulation.

This underscores the urgent need for validated and clinically applicable biomarkers. Research continues to expand our knowledge of fluid biomarkers for detecting and monitoring PD progression. Cerebrospinal fluid \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn) seed amplification assays (SAA) have emerged as highly sensitive and specific biomarkers for the diagnosis of PD. The development of less invasive procedures using biological fluids such as serum or saliva would be more practical for routine clinical use. Recent data demonstrate the presence of pathogenic \u03b1-synuclein in the serum of PD patients compared with healthy controls, detected using real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assays. Elevated ratios of pS129-\u03b1-syn and/or oligomeric \u03b1-syn to total \u03b1-syn have also been reported in PD. Future research should clarify differences in protein aggregate formation across various synucleinopathies. Promising advances toward a clinically useful blood-based diagnostic test for PD include the quantification of proteins released from neural-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), such as oligomeric and phosphorylated \u03b1-syn, tau, and disease-associated microRNAs.

Salivary EVs hold promise as a non-invasive source of PD biomarkers; however, robust validation in large, well-characterized cohorts is essential to improve the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of PD."

Accumulating evidence suggests that olfactory and visual deficits can precede overt cognitive symptoms and are closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 deposition, pathological tau phosphorylation, and disease progression. Early sensory abnormalities in AD likely arise from converging pathological processes. Among these, chronic neuroinflammation marked by microglial and astrocytic reactivity, inflammasome activation and increased pro-inflammatory mediators might play a pivotal role linking sensory-circuit injury to neurodegeneration. A coherent synthesis of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying early olfactory and visual impairment in AD remains limited, and putative molecular pathways and interventions have not been fully integrated. We aimed to identify AD-related olfactory and visual or retinal abnormalities, combine core inflammatory pathways and their interactions with amyloid-\u03b2 and tau pathology, and summarize actionable targets and candidate interventions along a \"receptor-intracellular signaling-inflammasome-effector\" axis, to inform earlier-stage detection and mechanism-guided intervention in AD."

Critically, rather than presenting all reported metabolic alterations as equivalently established, we introduce an evidence-transparency framework that systematically distinguishes the nature of supporting data-ranging from direct metabolic flux measurements (Seahorse, isotope tracing, lipidomics) and molecular correlates, to genetic/pharmacological perturbations, human tissue validation, and model-specific observations-enabling readers to independently assess the strength of each major conclusion. We further delineate aging as an active analytical dimension, demonstrating how age-related changes in mitochondrial quality control, lipid handling, redox buffering, and glial-immune crosstalk establish a permissive baseline that modifies disease-specific reprogramming trajectories. By integrating analyses of intercellular crosstalk, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and oxidative stress, we illustrate both convergent and divergent metabolic mechanisms across diseases. Finally, we critically assess therapeutic strategies targeting immunometabolism, emphasizing shared translational obstacles including target selectivity, blood-brain barrier penetration, stage-dependent efficacy, and the inherent challenge of pathway pleiotropy.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) possess considerable therapeutic potential; however, their clinical translation is constrained by insufficient bioactivity, poor targeting specificity, and uncontrolled release kinetics. Here, we present a multidimensional engineering strategy that overcomes these barriers synergistically. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-pretreated extracellular vesicles (TEVs) are enriched with anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative factors in their cargo, while Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting. A reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hyaluronic acid (HA)-phenylboronic acid (PBA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel serves as an intelligent depot for sustained, on-demand Ang-TEVs release at the lesion site.

It delivered miR-664a-3p, which suppressed PIK3CA to attenuate PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling and unleash autophagic flux, reprogramming microglia toward a reparative state that enhanced myelin debris clearance and quelled inflammation. Consequently, axonal regeneration and remyelination were markedly improved, driving significant motor recovery in SCI mice.

While the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is known to maintain blood-brain barrier integrity, its capacity to decouple the inflammation-metabolism axis remains underexplored. This study investigates whether activation of LRP1 can ameliorate LPS-induced cognitive deficits by recalibrating cerebral glucose metabolism. We utilized an integrative approach combining behavioral phenotyping with targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics to dissect the neuroprotective mechanism of SP16, a selective LRP1 agonist. Cognitive dysfunction was modeled in mice via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) LPS administration, followed by systemic intervention with intraperitoneally (i.p) injected SP16. SP16 treatment preserved cognitive function and prevented neuronal structural atrophy against the LPS injection. Mechanistically, LRP1 activation did more than suppress inflammation; it functionally modulated hippocampal insulin sensitivity and re-established redox homeostasis. Crucially, metabolomic profiling highlighted a restoration of glycolytic flux, centered on the normalization of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) levels. This metabolic reprogramming coincided with the upregulation of the M2-like reparative marker, Mrc1. Our findings identify LRP1 as a regulator that bridges metabolic health and immune resolution. By enforcing a metabolic shift via the FBP node, SP16 effectively guides microglia from a pro-inflammatory state toward tissue repair. Thus, honing in on SP16-mediated metabolic reprogramming presents an opportunity for a therapeutic intervention against neuroinflammation-associated cognitive impairment, offering a more nuanced alternative to broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories."

Here, we show that DAXX, a histone chaperone and RTE repressor, is downregulated during aging, preserves microglia homeostasis and inhibits cellular senescence. Loss of Daxx in young-adult microglia drives a reactive phenotype marked by chromatin decompaction at RTEs, loss of homeostatic markers, cell cycle re-entry and behavioral changes. This state leads to DNA damage and microglial depletion, followed by replacement with DAXX-deficient/Apoehigh microglia displaying features of senescence. Sustained induction of senescence relies on promyelocytic leukemia protein, a DAXX-interacting factor and interferon target.

The generated cell line displayed typical iPSC morphology, a normal karyotype, trilineage differentiation potential, and pluripotency-marker expression, providing a resource for investigating APOE \u03b54-associated disease mechanisms and preclinical therapeutic screening."

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

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

O-GlcNAcylation, a nutrient-sensitive post-translational modification, has emerged as a key regulator of cellular stress and inflammation, yet its role in microglial activation in AD remains unclear. We observed that hippocampal tissue from AD patients exhibits a marked reduction in O-GlcNAcylation, accompanied by enhanced pro-inflammatory M1 microglial polarization, elevated NF-\u03baB signaling, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In an LPS-induced neuroinflammation model exhibiting AD-relevant inflammatory and cognitive features, as well as in in vitro microglial cultures, LPS exposure led to a pronounced decrease in O-GlcNAcylation, particularly within Iba1-positive microglia. Systemic or in vitro treatment with glucosamine (GlcN) effectively restored O-GlcNAc levels, suppressed M1-associated inflammatory pathways, and promoted an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Mechanistically, GlcN enhanced O-GlcNAcylation of NF-\u03baB subunits p65 and c-Rel, limiting their nuclear translocation and downstream pro-inflammatory gene expression. Notably, GlcN treatment ameliorated LPS-induced memory deficits and neuronal loss in mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that O-GlcNAcylation acts as a modulatory regulator of microglial activation and neuroinflammation in AD, and that enhancing O-GlcNAcylation may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to preserve immune homeostasis and neuronal integrity."

Chronic periodontitis has emerged as a modifiable risk factor, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been proposed as important mediators of the periodontal-brain axis. Periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) release bacterial EVs enriched with virulence factors including gingipains, lipopolysaccharide, and regulatory RNAs. These vesicles can enter systemic circulation, interact with the blood-brain barrier, activate microglia, and trigger inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and NLRP3. These processes contribute to neuroinflammation, amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, and tau hyperphosphorylation, hallmarks of AD pathology. Host-derived EVs further contribute to this complex signaling network by facilitating intercellular communication and potentially propagating pathogenic proteins while also carrying protective molecules. Preclinical studies suggest that periodontal-derived vesicles can reach the hippocampus and impair cognition, while clinical studies have detected P. gingivalis DNA and gingipains in AD brain tissues. EV-associated biomarkers in blood or cerebrospinal fluid and engineered therapeutic vesicles represent promising tools for early diagnosis and intervention. Targeting oral microbial EVs may therefore offer novel avenues for AD prevention and therapy."

However, there is increasing evidence suggests that these pathological hallmarks are secondary to deeper metabolic defect in the brain. AD is progressively being recognized as a metabolic synaptic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, impaired cellular energy homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic degeneration. Synaptic plasticity is closely linked to the insulin-sensitive system of glucose utilization, mitochondrial activity, and local protein synthesis that render the synapses highly sensitive to the malfunction of the metabolic system. Recent discoveries highlight the important role of exosomes in mediating communication between neural cells by transferring regulatory miRNAs across neuronal networks. Exosomal miRNAs regulate insulin signaling, synaptic gene expression, mitochondrial function, and neuroinflammation. In AD, exosomal miRNA profiles are significantly altered, with enrichment of miR-29, miR-34a, miR-146a, and miR-21, alongside depletion of synapse-supporting miR-132. These changes contribute to insulin resistance, impaired glucose transporter trafficking, dendritic spine destabilization, and reduced expression of synaptic proteins such as PSD-95 and synaptophysin, ultimately leading to cognitive decline. Importantly, neuron-derived exosomes can cross the blood-brain barrier, making their miRNA cargo promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early AD diagnosis and precision treatment."

It functions through RNA-guided Cas nucleases, directing DNA cleavage and utilizing the native DNA repair machinery for genetic manipulations. Advances in CRISPR technology have significantly enhanced the precision and flexibility of techniques for genome editing. The enzyme Cas9's ability to cut DNA at exact site has revolutionized genome editing by enabling accurate modifications within living eukaryotic cells. This review critically examines recent developments in CRISPR-based technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, base editing, prime editing, and CRISPR-mediated gene regulation. It highlights their rising applications in ageing research, with more emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The review also discusses the major pharmacological and translational challenges that currently limit clinical applications, including inefficient tissue-specific delivery, off-target genome editing, immunogenicity, manufacturing complexity, and long-term safety concerns. Also, recent progress in both, viral and non-viral delivery methods are critically evaluated, including adeno-associated viruses, lentivirus vectors, lipid nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, exosomes, electroporation, and microinjection, is thoroughly discussed to highlight their therapeutic potential and translational limitations. Current studies indicate that CRISPR-based approaches have preclinical potential for targeting important hallmarks of ageing, particularly genomic instability, telomere attrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Other hallmarks of ageing, such as stem cell exhaustion, epigenetic modifications, and microbiome changes, are at earlier stages of development. Overall, this review describes future strategies for developing safe, precise, and clinically translatable CRISPR-based treatments to promote healthy ageing."

Microglia, the CNS resident immune cells, dynamically transition between protective and pathological states during AD progression. Recent advances in single-cell sequencing and metabolomics reveal that microglial roles extend beyond simple M1/M2 polarization. This review synthesizes these advances into a framework integrating microglial plasticity, metabolic reprogramming, and intercellular communication in AD. Methods: We reviewed recent (2020-2026) studies on microglial biology in AD, focusing on DAM (disease-associated microglia) ontogeny, metabolic reprogramming, immune checkpoints, and glial crosstalk. Results: Microglia exhibit spatiotemporal heterogeneity, shifting from protective phagocytic phenotypes (M2, DAM1/2) in early AD to pro-inflammatory and exhausted states (M1, terminal inflammatory microglia [TIM], lipid droplet-accumulating microglia [LDAM]) as pathology advances. Key pathways-TREM2/SYK phagocytosis, Piezo1 mechanotransduction, TAM (Tyro3, Axl, Mer) receptor signaling, and metabolic regulators (HK2, iron, APOE4-driven lipid metabolism)-orchestrate these transitions. Microglia also interact with astrocytes, T cells, and peripheral immune cells via IL-3, complement C3, MHC-I and MHC-II, forming glial-immune networks that modulate A\u03b2 clearance, tau propagation, and synaptic integrity. Conclusions: Precisely targeting microglial functional states, rather than broad immunosuppression, is a promising disease-modifying strategy for AD. Future therapies should integrate metabolic reprogramming, glial network regulation, and immune checkpoint modulation to preserve protective microglial phenotypes in early AD while suppressing pathological activation and exhaustion in advanced disease."

Here, we investigated the role of neutrophils in hepatic lipid deposition during early MASLD development. Neutrophils acquired extracellular fatty acids (FAs) via FATP2 and CD36 and stored them as triglycerides (TGs). These lipid-laden neutrophils (LNs) did not utilize FAs for energy production or lipid mediator synthesis but instead transferred lipid cargo to hepatocytes through extracellular vesicles (EVs). Neutrophil-derived EVs were enriched with TGs and lipid metabolism-regulating microRNAs, augmenting TG accumulation in hepatocytes. Peripheral neutrophils isolated from high-fat diet-fed mice exhibited a lipid-laden phenotype, and adoptive transfer of LNs and EVs derived from LNs increased hepatic fat accumulation in recipient mice. In patients with MASLD, circulating neutrophils showed lipid droplet accumulation with increased TGs and enrichment of lipid-associated miRNAs while plasma EVs were also enriched with TGs and lipid-associated miRNAs. Single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral immune cells identified a neutrophil subpopulation characterized by enhanced lipid-handling and EV-related gene expression.

Importantly, complications arising from microvascular dysfunction, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and chronic neuroinflammation have been implicated in driving PASC within the central nervous system (CNS), known as neuro-PASC. Notably, people with HIV (PWH), who suffer from chronic neuroinflammation, BBB impairment, and glial cell dysfunction, collectively known as neuro-HIV, are generally at higher risk of neuro-PASC. The overlap between neuro-PASC and neuro-HIV raises concerns that HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infection may exacerbate neurological dysfunctions among PWH. In this study, using an in-vitro cell culture model, we examine the effects of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 mono- and co-infection in microglia, astrocytes, and pericytes. Our results demonstrated that majority of brain cell types support SARS-CoV-2 replication, in the presence and absence of HIV infection. Furthermore, in both mono- and co-infected cells, there were varying degree of up- and downregulation of SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry factors, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, NRP1, and TRIM28, and inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2.

Nrf2 is a master controller of homeostatic functions whose activity is compromised in AD. Most pharmacological Nrf2 activators are electrophilic molecules that covalently modify cysteine residues in the thiol-rich Keap1, and many are Michael acceptors, such as low-molecular-weight (LMW) skin allergens. However, LMW allergens-induced Nrf2 activation in a pharmacological setting has only recently attracted attention, exemplified by the clinical success of Dimethyl Fumarate. Hence, we investigated, for the first time, the potential of the skin allergen Isoeugenol to activate Nrf2 and reverse selected AD hallmarks, both in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo, in AD-specific models. In\u00a0vitro studies were performed using microglia cells exposed to LPS and neuronal cells overexpressing human APP with Swedish mutation, to evaluate Isoeugenol's potential in decreasing neuroinflammation and activating the Nrf2 pathway, respectively. In\u00a0vivo studies were conducted in 10-month-old AD double-transgenic mice (APP/PS1), which were intranasally administered Isougenol. Isoeugenol's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, and its effect on mice cognition were evaluated. The results showed that Isoeugenol (1) activated Nrf2 in AD neuronal cells (likely involving AKT signaling); (2) exhibited antioxidant and Nrf2-dependent anti-inflammatory activity, which was abolished after Nrf2 silencing; (3) exhibited good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles; (4) reduced the levels of A\u03b2 peptides in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo; (5) reduced triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in treated mice; and (6) improved the memory deficits in old mice. This is the first study reporting Isoeugenol's intranasal administration, and on specific AD mice models. Overall, the results reinforce Isoeugenol as a pleiotropic molecule, with great potential for AD treatment."

In humans, even small, silent strokes can trigger these pathologies, which can spread to brain regions far beyond the infarct and persist chronically, ultimately worsening prognosis and increasing the risk for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The cause of this pathology is unknown, but reactive astrocytes and microglia are likely contributors. Here, we describe an optimized short-duration middle cerebral artery occlusion model that produces a clinically relevant small stroke mostly confined to subcortical regions, similar to many silent strokes in humans. We termed this model the mild subcortical infarct (MSCI). We then mapped the spatiotemporal extent of reactive astrocytes and microglia during the sub-acute period (1, 3, and 7\u2009days) following MSCI. We observed that reactive astrogliosis develops more rapidly and spreads more extensively, compared to the reactive microglia response following this small infarct. Microglial depletion resulted in larger infarct sizes but did not prevent reactive astrocytes. Aging mice exposed to MSCI exhibited a comparably strong response of reactive astrocytes and microglia as young mice. Lastly, reactive astrocytes persisted for at least nine months after MSCI. We propose that this mild ischemia model is valuable for examining the chronic effects of subcortical stroke. It may be especially useful for investigating the functional impact of reactive astrogliosis in regions distal from the primary injury site."

Glial cells, comprising microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, serve as key immune regulators in the central nervous system, where they are essential for maintaining ALP homeostasis, promoting proteostasis, and modulating neuroinflammatory responses. Here, we systematically review the regulatory roles of glial ALP in AD pathology, emphasizing its involvement in amyloid accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic impairment, white matter damage, and mitochondrial as well as other organelle dysfunction, and provide an in-depth analysis of key signaling pathways including TFEB, mTOR, and NLRP3. Furthermore, we outline therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring lysosomal function, regulating autophagic flux, and suppressing inflammation, along with a discussion of the multi-target regulatory potential of acupuncture and natural bioactive agents. We also highlight emerging ALP-associated biomarkers and their potential utility in early diagnosis and treatment response assessment. The objective of this review is to uncover the mechanistic interplay between glial ALP dysregulation and the pathological cascade of AD, offering a conceptual framework for the development of novel therapeutics that integrate neuroprotection with immune modulation."

Physical exercise is protective against several of these features, but how its peripheral effects produce coordinated changes in the brain remains only partly defined. Soluble exerkines explain part of this benefit, but they act individually, do not protect labile cargo such as RNA, and carry little information about their cell of origin. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer a complementary mechanism. By packaging diverse cargo within a membrane, they co-deliver several signals at once, protect labile cargo in transit, and carry a profile that partly reflects the state and origin of the releasing cell. In this review, we develop a multi-organ signaling framework in which exercise-conditioned EVs link peripheral exercise adaptation to AD-related brain pathology. We examine how exercise reshapes EV biogenesis, the circulating EV pool, and EV engagement with the neurovascular interface. We then map how exercise-conditioned EVs intersect with amyloid aggregation and clearance, tau propagation, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and synaptic and neurogenic resilience, and which tissues contribute to the exercise-responsive EV pool. Several bottlenecks keep the field at the level of association rather than causation, including cargo heterogeneity, uncertain tissue-of-origin attribution, and the gap between describing cargo and demonstrating its function. This framework outlines a realistic, staged route from current associative evidence toward clinical application, in which exercise-conditioned EVs serve first as biomarkers of exercise responsiveness and later as engineered therapeutic platforms for AD."

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) is highly enriched in central resident microglia; it is also expressed by border-associated macrophages and lesion-infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages, rather than being restricted to parenchymal microglia, acting as a key membrane receptor regulating microglial immune balance, lipid transport, lysosomal degradation and cell polarization. Existing studies demonstrate that TREM2 binds various ligands including myelin lipid debris, apolipoprotein E (APOE) and apoptotic cell components, then activates multiple DNAX-activating protein of 12\u00a0kDa (DAP12)-dependent signaling cascades: spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC\u03b32), beta-catenin and transcription factor EB (TFEB). These pathways jointly clear myelin debris, remodel cholesterol circulation, restrain pro-inflammatory microenvironment and promote oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPCs) differentiation, exerting bidirectional functions in physiological myelin homeostasis, acute injury response and chronic repair. This narrative review summarizes TREM2's gene and protein structure, ligand recognition modes and full signal transduction network. It illustrates the molecular mechanisms of TREM2 in myelin maintenance, debris clearance and regeneration, compares its distinct pathological roles in various demyelinating diseases, and concludes translational strategies including TREM2 agonism, downstream pathway intervention and biomarker exploitation. Furthermore, this narrative review analyzes unsolved core scientific issues and puts forward research routes for mechanistic research and clinical transformation, offering systematic theoretical basis for targeted drug development against demyelinating encephalopathies."

This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\n\"Discovery: Considering PubMed #41177462, intranasal S-GEVs co-functionalized with ApoE peptides may bypass the cribriform plate and target astrocytic LRP1 receptors in order to suppress NF-\u03baB and may resolve some neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's and ALS.\"\n\nThe claim is **plausible but requires gap-filling regarding the specific mention of PubMed #41177462**, as this ID is not present in the provided literature. The provided literature independently supports the mechanism: intranasal delivery platforms, ApoE peptide functionalization, LRP1 targeting, and the resulting suppression of the NF-\u03baB inflammatory axis in CNS disorders.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific literature demonstrates that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be engineered to bypass the blood-brain barrier via intranasal administration. Targeted delivery to LRP1 receptors in the brain, achieved through ligands like ApoE peptides, facilitates downstream suppression of the NF-\u03baB neuroinflammatory cascade, providing a therapeutic avenue for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nNeurodegenerative conditions such as AD and ALS are increasingly framed as systemic disorders characterized by chronic neuroinflammation. Intranasal delivery is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for direct drug transport to the brain via the nose-to-brain pathway, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and improving therapeutic efficacy. Research demonstrates that LRP1 serves as a critical signaling hub; functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). This convergence of LRP1 targeting and NF-\u03baB inhibition is supported by broad evidence across these disorders. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Targeted Engineering:** Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting.\n*   **Vesicle Versatility:** Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.\n*   **Metabolic Reprogramming:** LEVs-SIRT2-KD were readily internalized by microglia in vivo following intranasal delivery.\n*   **Cholesterol Coupling:** Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1.\n*   **Inflammatory RNA:** Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes.\n*   **Proteinopathy Neutralization:** 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.\n*   **Complement Cascade:** The complement cascade is closely related to AD-associated pathological processes; however, the precise mechanisms underlying its contributions remain incompletely elucidated.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

The mechanosensitive cation channel PIEZO1 is widely expressed in neurons, microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and endothelial cells of the CNS. It can precisely sense mechanical signals such as ECM stiffness, viscoelasticity, shear stress, and matrix protein cross-linking, and convert them into intracellular calcium signals and downstream biochemical reactions, thereby mediating the mechanobiological crosstalk between the ECM and cells and playing a key role in physiological processes such as neurodevelopment, synaptic plasticity, blood-brain barrier (BBB) homeostasis, neuroimmune regulation, and cell fate determination. In diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), ischemic stroke (IS), and multiple sclerosis (MS), abnormal stiffening or remodeling of the ECM can lead to excessive activation of PIEZO1, which, by regulating pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-\u03baB), Yes-associated protein/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (YAP/TAZ), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), exacerbates neuroinflammation, BBB disruption, myelin destruction, neuronal ferroptosis, and defective axonal regeneration. This article systematically reviews the cellular expression profile of PIEZO1 in the CNS, the ECM-mediated activation mechanisms, and downstream signaling networks. It elucidates the regulatory role of the ECM-PIEZO1 axis in both the physiological functions and typical diseases of the CNS, aiming to provide a theoretical basis and new insights for mechanobiological research into the mechanisms and targeted therapies of CNS diseases.\n\nID: 42585680\nTitle: Zexieyin formula ameliorates high-fat diet-induced cognitive impairment via pericyte-associated LRP1 modulating CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway.\nAbstract: The global rise in obesity and metabolic syndrome is increasingly recognized as a major risk factor for cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. Chronic high-fat diet (HFD) consumption disrupts blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, a pivotal pathological event that facilitates neurotoxic infiltration, neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury. Brain pericytes play a central role in maintaining BBB function and are particularly vulnerable to HFD-induced metabolic stress. Loss or dysfunction of pericytes contributes to BBB breakdown. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which is highly expressed in pericytes, is a critical regulator of neurovascular integrity; its downregulation activates the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling cascade, thereby exacerbating BBB permeability. This study aimed to investigate whether the traditional Chinese medicine formula Zexieyin Formula (ZXYF) ameliorates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting pericyte dysfunction. We hypothesized that ZXYF exerts neuroprotective effects by restoring pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, suppressing activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and consequently attenuating hippocampal neuronal damage. Both in vivo and in vitro models were employed to elucidate the underlying neurovascular mechanisms. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 16 weeks to induce cognitive impairment, followed by a 4-week intervention with ZXYF; atorvastatin (ATO) served as a positive control. Cognitive function was evaluated using a battery of behavioral tests. BBB integrity was assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blot analysis of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Cerebrovascular permeability was further evaluated using sodium fluorescein extravasation assays combined with co-localization analysis with the endothelial marker CD31. Pericyte-associated LRP1 expression in the hippocampus was examined by immunofluorescent co-localization of LRP1 with the pericyte marker PDGFR-\u03b2. Activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway in hippocampal tissue was analyzed by Western blotting. In vitro, mouse brain microvascular pericytes (MBVPs) were exposed to free fatty acids (FFA) to model metabolic stress. LRP1 expression and localization were assessed by confocal microscopy, and protein levels of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway were determined by Western blotting. An LRP1-knockdown MBVPs cell line was generated via lentiviral transduction to evaluate LRP1 dependence. HFD-fed mice exhibited pronounced cognitive deficits, which were significantly ameliorated by ZXYF treatment. TEM and Western blot analyses revealed marked BBB disruption in HFD-fed mice, characterized by ultrastructural abnormalities and reduced expression of ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Immunofluorescence demonstrated increased sodium fluorescein leakage in the hippocampus, indicating cerebrovascular damage, which was partially reversed by ZXYF. Mechanistically, confocal imaging showed a significant reduction in LRP1 expression in hippocampal pericytes of HFD-fed mice, accompanied by activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway. ZXYF intervention restored pericyte-associated LRP1 expression and suppressed pathway activation. Consistently, lentivirus-mediated LRP1 knockdown in MBVPs abolished the inhibitory effects of ZXYF on CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling, demonstrating that ZXYF-mediated pathway regulation is LRP1-dependent. This study demonstrates that ZXYF alleviates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting BBB function. ZXYF restores pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, thereby inhibiting the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and protecting hippocampal neurons. These findings identify pericytes and the LRP1/CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 axis as critical therapeutic targets in metabolic cognitive disorders and provide a novel mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective effects of traditional Chinese medicine.\n\nID: 42501172\nTitle: Glycerol-3-Phosphate Attenuates Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury via Modulation of Microglia-Mediated Neuroinflammation.\nAbstract: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe perinatal brain injury that often leads to neurological impairments in survivors. Currently, effective therapeutic strategies for HIE remain limited and require further exploration. Emerging evidence indicates that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HIE. Nevertheless, clinically effective anti-inflammatory agents specifically targeting HIE are still lacking. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is a biologically significant metabolite involved in various cellular metabolic pathways. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of G3P against hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced brain injury by modulating microglial activation. In LPS-treated microglia, G3P suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, restored mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and promoted a shift toward an anti-inflammatory microglial phenotype. In addition, G3P treatment in zebrafish showed no toxicity and significantly mitigated HI-induced oxidative stress, while suppressing both the recruitment and pro-inflammatory activation of mpeg1\u207a macrophages and lyzc\u207a neutrophils. Moreover, administration of G3P dramatically reduced infarct volume and alleviated neuronal loss in rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Y-maze and Morris water maze tests demonstrated that G3P treatment significantly enhanced spatial learning and memory in HIBD rats. Furthermore, G3P markedly reduced the hyperactivation of microglia and astrocytes in both cortical and hippocampal regions. Mechanistically, Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses revealed that G3P exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclic GMP-AMP synthase -stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signalling pathway and its downstream TBK1/the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling pathway. These findings highlight G3P as a promising therapeutic candidate for HIE.\n\nID: 42461321\nTitle: Astrocytic HMGCR-Mediated Cholesterol Alleviated Parkinson's Disease Phenotypes by Inhibiting NF-\u03baB Neuroinflammation.\nAbstract: In recent years, the association between abnormal cholesterol metabolism and Parkinson's disease (PD) has attracted considerable attention, but the specific mechanism remains controversial. First, we used Mendelian Randomization\u00a0(MR) analysis to clarify the relationship between cholesterol and PD. Subsequently, scRNA-seq and RNA-seq were used to identify the crucial role of astrocyte 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) in this process. Moreover, we verified its downstream target genes by RNA-seq, in vivo and in vitro experiments. The upstream transcriptional regulator of HMGCR was identified by database and validated by luciferase reporter and siRNA knockdown assays. The results of the MR analysis showed that low cholesterol levels may increase the risk of PD. This phenomenon was also observed in the PD mouse model. The scRNA-seq and RNA-seq results showed that astrocyte HMGCR played an important role in PD. Increasing astrocytic HMGCR alleviated cholesterol level and PD-related phenotypes. Mechanistically, astrocytic HMGCR-mediated cholesterol alleviated PD phenotypes by inhibiting Nuclear Factor Kappa-B (NF-\u03baB) neuroinflammation. Furthermore, knocking down Forkhead Box O1 (FOXO1) restored HMGCR expression and cholesterol levels, subsequently inhibiting NF-\u03baB activation. Our research indicated that the cholesterol synthesis disorder in astrocytes driven by HMGCR can exacerbate the pathogenesis of PD by promoting neuroinflammation. Targeting HMGCR in astrocytes will be a potential therapeutic approach.\n\nID: 42458512\nTitle: Targeting astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity induced by ALS/FTD-associated RNA binding proteins.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by reactive astrocytes that contribute to neuronal injury through TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43)-or fused in sarcoma (FUS)-driven neuroinflammatory signaling. Dehydrocostus lactone (DHE), a blood-brain barrier-permeable sesquiterpene lactone with established anti-inflammatory activity, represents a promising but unexplored therapeutic candidate for ALS/FTD. The therapeutic effects of DHE were evaluated in primary mouse and human astrocytes expressing ALS/FTD-associated RNA-binding protein pathology, ALS patient-derived fibroblasts, and primary cortical neurons exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. Drosophila models expressing mutant FUS or TDP-43 in glial cells were used to assess locomotor performance and survival. Molecular analyses examined nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent antioxidant responses, protein aggregation, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory mediator production. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured in patients with sporadic ALS. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy. DHE attenuated astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity and improved neuronal mitochondrial function in conditioned-medium assays. In addition, DHE reduced pathological FUS accumulation in FUS P525L-expressing astrocytes and in stress-challenged patient-derived fibroblasts. In Drosophila models, DHE significantly improved locomotor function and extended survival. Translationally, the chemokines CXCL10, CCL3, and CCL19 were elevated in plasma from patients with ALS, were induced by FUS or TDP-43 pathology in astrocytes, and were suppressed by DHE treatment, supporting the clinical relevance of the inflammatory pathways targeted by DHE. DHE mitigates astrocyte-driven neurotoxicity associated with ALS/FTD-related RNA-binding protein pathology by suppressing inflammatory signaling and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. The consistent therapeutic effects observed across mouse and human cellular models, patient-derived samples, and in vivo Drosophila models support further investigation of DHE as a potential therapeutic strategy for ALS/FTD and highlight astrocyte-mediated signaling pathways as actionable targets in neurodegenerative disease.\n\nID: 42449389\nTitle: Ferritin-ApoE nanocarrier for targeted therapy of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder in mice.\nAbstract: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody-mediated damage to astrocytes, resulting in subsequent demyelination. Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis.\n\nID: 42434808\nTitle: Brain targeting and trafficking of extracellular vesicles in central nervous system diseases: a therapeutic roadmap.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular signaling in the central nervous system (CNS) by transferring lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids among neurons, glia, endothelium, and immune cells. Brain targeting depends on a linked sequence: EV ligands and adsorbed protein coronas engage receptor modules, select endocytic routes, determine intracellular fate, and define the therapeutic readouts. These fates include lysosomal degradation, recycling, rare cytosolic delivery, or transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In disease, the same pathways can disseminate proteopathic seeds and amplify neuroinflammation. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) and LDL receptor family members, including low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), regulate tau, \u03b1-synuclein, and amyloid-\u03b2 handling. Phosphatidylserine readers and complement shape myeloid sink capture and inflammatory output. Integrin, tetraspanin, and ICAM-1 nanoclusters influence avidity, organotropism, and immune suppression. At the BBB, endothelial HSPGs, LRP1, and transferrin receptor (TfR) support receptor-mediated uptake, motivating engineered ligands such as rabies virus glycoprotein-derived peptides, Angiopep-2, and TfR binders. However, endosomal escape remains a major kinetic barrier to nucleic acid delivery. We synthesize these principles across Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, glioblastoma, and demyelinating disease, and outline design and assay standards needed to translate EV biology into safe, manufacturable CNS therapeutics.\n\nID: 42432263\nTitle: Repurposing apremilast for alzheimer's disease: multitarget modulation of cAMP\u2011PI3K/Akt-GSK\u20113\u03b2 and NF\u2011\u03baB signaling.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia worldwide, represents a growing global health challenge driven by population aging, the absence of effective disease-modifying therapies, and its inherently multifactorial pathogenesis. This pathogenesis is characterized by amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, persistent neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and synaptic dysfunction. Conventional single-target interventions have consistently failed against this complex interplay of molecular events, thereby highlighting the need for multitarget, systems pharmacology approaches capable of simultaneously modulating convergent pathways. Apremilast (APR), an FDA-approved, orally bioavailable phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor, has recently emerged as a favorable drug repurposing candidate capable of elevating intracellular cAMP and triggering a cascade of neuroprotective mechanisms. Preclinical investigations from A\u03b2-challenged neuronal cultures to high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced rodent models of AD demonstrate that APR attenuates A\u03b2-induced cytotoxicity, improves cognitive performance, and preserves neuronal and synaptic integrity. Mechanistically, APR mitigates NF-\u03baB-mediated neuroinflammation through I\u03baB\u03b1 stabilization, thereby reducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6; activates the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant defense pathway, and, via cAMP-dependent PI3K/Akt signaling, inhibits GSK-3\u03b2 to prevent tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic loss, and neuronal degeneration. This review synthesizes current mechanistic evidence supporting apremilast as a potential multitarget repurposing candidate in AD, thereby addressing key knowledge gaps in the current literature. All supporting evidence was compiled from peer-reviewed sources indexed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Guided by network pharmacology and systems biology frameworks, APR's polypharmacological profile positions it as a compelling multitarget candidate for advanced in vivo validation, human iPSC-derived neuronal studies, and AI-driven therapeutic discovery pipelines.\n\nID: 42425385\nTitle: Longifolene mitigates amyloid beta induced neurotoxicity by acting on PI3K/AKT/NF\u03baB pathway: Comprehensive in vitro, in vivo pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic studies for Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease characterized with deposition of Amyloid-\u03b2 peptide leading to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Terpenes are a broad class of natural compounds known to possess anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Longifolene (LNF), a major constituent of pine resin is a non -polar sesquiterpene possessing promising anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are pathological drivers of AD. The current work is focused on evaluating the neuroprotective potential of LNF using in vitro cell line-based and in vivo animal-based model for AD. Pre-treatment with LNF at 1, 10 and 100\u202f\u03bcM displayed significant neuroprotective potential in A\u03b21-42 induced neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cell-line. Additionally, 0.5 and 1\u202f\u03bcM of LNF significantly prevented ROS generation, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cell-line. Pharmacokinetic studies in rats showed that LNF achieved the therapeutic concentrations in brain. Further, in pharmacodynamic studies, 20 days pre-treatment and 30 days post-treatment with LNF at 10, 50 and 100\u202fmg/kg resulted in dose-dependent improvements in behavioral, biochemical and histopathological parameters in A\u03b21-42 induced AD in rats. Functional assays demonstrated that LNF brought about significant reduction in levels of AChE, TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 levels and elevation in BDNF in the rat brain. Histopathological examination of the cortex and hippocampus showed that LNF at doses of 50 and 100\u202fmg/kg markedly attenuated neuronal swelling and cortical atrophic changes, while preserving the pyramidal layer thickness in the hippocampus. Protein expression studies using Western blot analysis showed that LNF displays anti-AD activity by acting on PI3K/AKT/NF\u03baB pathway. These findings highlight LNF as a potential neuroprotective agent for AD intervention.\n\nID: 42423842\nTitle: Regulatory Effects of the PDE8B Inhibitor PF-04957325 on Cognitive Impairment and Neuroinflammation in A\u03b2-Induced Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Models.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition, chronic neuroinflammation, and dysregulation of the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway that impairs synaptic plasticity. PF-04957325 (PF), a selective PDE8B inhibitor, elevates intracellular cAMP; however, its systems-level effects and mechanisms in A\u03b2-driven AD are unclear. Here, we evaluate PF in an A\u03b21-42 mouse model and delineate its modulation of cAMP/PKA/CREB and TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB signaling.\u00a0An AD model was induced by intracerebroventricular injection of A\u03b21-42, followed by oral PF administration (0.1\u00a0mg/kg/day). Cognitive performance was evaluated with the Morris water maze. Hippocampal pathology, A\u03b2 burden, and apoptosis were assessed by H&E, immunohistochemistry, and TUNEL assays. IL-1\u03b2 and IL-6 were measured by ELISA in hippocampal tissue and BV2 supernatants. Western blotting quantified APP, p-tau, and pathway proteins. BV2 cells and si-PDE8B served to validate mechanisms in vitro.\u00a0PF significantly shortened escape latency (p\u2009<\u20090.01) and increased both platform crossings and target-quadrant dwell time (p\u2009<\u20090.01). It alleviated hippocampal neuronal injury, reduced A\u03b2 burden, and decreased TUNEL-positive cells. Molecularly, PF elevated cAMP and increased p-PKA/PKA and p-CREB/CREB ratios (p\u2009<\u20090.01), while decreasing TLR4, MyD88, and p-NF-\u03baB p65/NF-\u03baB p65 (p\u2009<\u20090.01). PF also lowered IL-1\u03b2 and IL-6 levels in hippocampal tissue and BV2 supernatants (both p\u2009<\u20090.01). In vitro, 300 nM PF phenocopied PDE8B knockdown, restoring cAMP/PKA/CREB activity and suppressing TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB activation.\u00a0PF exerts dual protective effects by activating cAMP/PKA/CREB to enhance synaptic plasticity and survival, while inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB to mitigate neuroinflammation. These findings highlight PDE8B inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy for AD.\n\nID: 42389857\nTitle: Adipokine dysregulation and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes: Implications for neurodegeneration and neuroprotective eff ects of antidiabetic therapies.\nAbstract: Neurodegeneration is accelerated by Type 2 diabetes mellitus through adipokine dysregulation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. This could link metabolic imbalance to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cognitive decline. The aim of this review is to clarify the roles of adipokines in type 2 diabetes-induced neurodegeneration, their molecular pathways, and the possible neuroprotective potential of antidiabetic agents. Literature was searched in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus for Englishlanguage articles published up to November 2025, using keywords like adipokines, diabetes mellitus, neurodegeneration, neuroinfl ammation, and antidiabetics. Results highlight those elevated levels of pro-infl ammatory adipokines, such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and resistin, together with reduced levels of neuroprotective adipokines, including adiponectin and leptin, may drive NF-kB activation, suppression of Nrf2 signaling, and amyloid and tau pathology. This is further exacerbated by oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Antidiabetic agents like metformin, GLP-1 agonists, thiazolidinediones, and SGLT2 inhibitors restore adipokine balance, enhance AMPK/PPAR\u03b3 signaling, and show cognitive benefits in mild cognitive impairment cohorts per clinical trials. In conclusion, repurposing antidiabetics via biomarker-guided multiple therapies offers disease-modifying promise for type 2 diabetes-linked neurodegeneration, necessitating large randomized controlled trials in prediabetic populations.

This study asked whether combined targeting of inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways could offer enhanced neuroprotection in an A\u03b21-42-induced rat model of AD. Tenoxicam, an oxicam-class non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with COX-linked anti-inflammatory activity, and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a natural compound known for antioxidant and Nrf2-activating properties, were selected on the basis of their complementary mechanisms; however, their combined potential in this model has not been sufficiently explored, providing the rationale for this hypothesis-driven investigation. Male Wistar rats were assigned to control, disease, standard, tenoxicam, PEITC, and combination treatment groups. Cognitive performance was evaluated using the Morris Water Maze, Y-maze, and Novel Object Recognition tests, while neuroinflammatory and oxidative stress markers, including NF-\u03baB, NLRP3, IL-1\u03b2, Nrf2, catalase, and malondialdehyde, were assessed alongside histopathological examination of hippocampal integrity and molecular docking against COX-2, NF-\u03baB, and NLRP3. A\u03b21-42 administration induced significant cognitive impairment, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal damage. Tenoxicam and PEITC improved behavioral performance, reduced inflammatory signaling, restored antioxidant defenses, and preserved hippocampal architecture, with the combination showing the most pronounced effects. These findings provide preclinical evidence that dual modulation of inflammatory and redox pathways may represent a promising multi-target approach for AD and support further evaluation of this combinatorial strategy.\n\nID: 42327778\nTitle: Neuroimmune cross-talk in Leptospira-associated acute encephalopathy syndrome.\nAbstract: The Leptospira-associated acute encephalopathy syndrome (AES) is a severe neurological complication, largely affecting the endemic regions. Unlike other classical neurotropic infections, Leptospira-induced encephalopathy is mainly induced via immune-mediated mechanisms through dysregulation of glial response and peripheral immunity. The onset of infection is marked by the invasion of early innate immune clearance. There is a substantial presence of bacteremia and elevated peripheral inflammation due to the atypical engagement of pattern recognition receptors. The enhanced circulating cytokines and endothelial dysfunction cause blood-brain barrier disruption, along with the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-\u03baB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. The subpopulations of the glial cells are the primary central nervous system (CNS) populations that undergo activation, such as microglia and astrocytes, to re-establish homeostasis. There is a positive feedback loop activation for the inflammation pathway, with exacerbated cerebral edema and neuronal dysfunction, which are characteristic of AES. The severity of neuronal parasitic disease correlated with immune dysregulation and glial activation rather than the direct Leptospira infection in the neuronal tissue. It may be proposed that the Leptospira-induced AES represents a neuroimmune disorder in which peripheral immune activation and glial-driven neuroinflammation converge to produce acute cerebral dysfunction. Understanding these interconnected pathways is essential for improving diagnosis and developing targeted therapeutic strategies for Leptospirosis/Leptospira-associated AES.\n\nID: 42242486\nTitle: The neuroprotective effect of eugenol in aluminum chloride-induced Alzheimer's rats: Insights into the role of TLR4/MyD88/NF-kB and NLRP3 inflammasome/gasdermin D signaling pathways.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation, especially involving NLRP3 inflammasome, has been recognized as a fundamental pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome activity can slow the development of AD. Eugenol, a natural phenolic compound, is known to inhibit or modulate the inflammatory response. Therefore, this study focuses on scrutinizing the potential neuroprotective effect of eugenol via the NLRP3 signaling pathway in aluminum chloride (AlCl3) elicited AD rats. Rats were split into four groups: olive oil, eugenol (50\u202fmg/kg), AlCl3 (100\u202fmg/kg), and eugenol\u00a0+\u00a0AlCl3, where rats received eugenol orally 2 weeks before and concurrently with oral induction by AlCl3 for 12 weeks. Behavioral, histopathological, and biochemical analyses were performed. Significant behavioral dysfunction, aluminum accumulation and pronounced neuronal damage were observed in AD rats. These were associated with increased hippocampal nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and amyloid beta protein 1-42 (A\u03b2 1-42) along with diminished serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels. In addition, activation of NLRP3 inflammasome pathway components concomitant with upregulation of the pyroptotic marker; gasdermin D (GSDMD) was observed. Nevertheless, eugenol administration significantly improved rats' behavioral and histological aberrations, reduced NO, MDA, aluminum, and elevated TAC levels. Eugenol modulated toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (Myd88)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) signal transduction pathway, leading to inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, inflammatory cytokines as interleukin 18 (IL-18) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1\u03b2) as well as GSDMD. Eugenol may exert neuroprotective effects against AlCl3-induced neurodegeneration by modulating NLRP3 inflammasome, pyroptosis, and TLR4/MyD88/NF-kB signaling pathways.\n\nID: 42214647\nTitle: Yeast-derived vacuoles as potential therapeutic agents for modulating neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation is a major contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, including amyloid precursor protein (APP)/amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)-associated protein expression and Tau phosphorylation. Here, we evaluated yeast-derived vacuoles as orally deliverable bio-derived vesicular structures for modulating AD-associated neuroinflammatory responses. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated C6 glioma cells, vacuoles were efficiently internalized, showed minimal cytotoxicity, reduced APP/A\u03b2-related protein and phosphorylated Tau levels, and suppressed p38 MAPK and NF-\u03baB signaling, including downstream inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. In aged C57BL/6 mice, oral vacuole administration reduced brain APP/A\u03b2-related protein, Tau, and phosphorylated Tau levels and improved histological features in the hippocampus and cortex. Although direct brain biodistribution was not detected by IVIS imaging, the observed functional changes support further investigation of vacuole-mediated gut-to-brain bioactivity. These findings suggest yeast-derived vacuoles as a promising bio-derived platform for modulating neuroinflammation in AD.\n\nID: 42212852\nTitle: LRP1 Activation Promotes Metabolic Reprogramming and Mrc1 Expression to Attenuate LPS-Induced Cognitive Deficits: An Integrated Omics Analysis.\nAbstract: Central insulin resistance and neuroinflammation act as synergistic drivers in the pathogenesis of cognitive decline. While the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is known to maintain blood-brain barrier integrity, its capacity to decouple the inflammation-metabolism axis remains underexplored. This study investigates whether activation of LRP1 can ameliorate LPS-induced cognitive deficits by recalibrating cerebral glucose metabolism. We utilized an integrative approach combining behavioral phenotyping with targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics to dissect the neuroprotective mechanism of SP16, a selective LRP1 agonist. Cognitive dysfunction was modeled in mice via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) LPS administration, followed by systemic intervention with intraperitoneally (i.p) injected SP16. SP16 treatment preserved cognitive function and prevented neuronal structural atrophy against the LPS injection. Mechanistically, LRP1 activation did more than suppress inflammation; it functionally modulated hippocampal insulin sensitivity and re-established redox homeostasis. Crucially, metabolomic profiling highlighted a restoration of glycolytic flux, centered on the normalization of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) levels. This metabolic reprogramming coincided with the upregulation of the M2-like reparative marker, Mrc1. Our findings identify LRP1 as a regulator that bridges metabolic health and immune resolution. By enforcing a metabolic shift via the FBP node, SP16 effectively guides microglia from a pro-inflammatory state toward tissue repair. Thus, honing in on SP16-mediated metabolic reprogramming presents an opportunity for a therapeutic intervention against neuroinflammation-associated cognitive impairment, offering a more nuanced alternative to broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories.\n\nID: 42200309\nTitle: Reduced SH3RF3 May Protect Against Alzheimer's Disease by Lowering Microglial Pro-Inflammatory Responses via Modulation of JNK and NFkB Signaling.\nAbstract: Understanding how high-risk individuals are protected from Alzheimer's disease (AD) may illuminate potential therapeutic targets. We identified protective genetic variants in SH3RF3/POSH2 that delayed the onset of AD among individuals carrying the PSEN1G206A mutation. SH3RF3 acts as a JNK pathway scaffold and activates NF\u03baB signaling. While the effects of SH3RF3 knockdown in human neurons were subtle, including decreased pTau S422, knockdown in human microglia significantly reduced inflammatory cytokines in response to either a viral mimic or oA\u03b242. This was associated with reduced activation of JNK and NF\u03baB pathways in response to these stimuli. Pharmacological inhibition of JNK or NF\u03baB signaling phenocopied SH3RF3 knockdown. We also found PSEN1G206A microglia had a reduced inflammatory response to oA\u03b242. Thus, further reduction of microglial inflammatory responses in PSEN1G206A mutant carriers by protective variants in SH3RF3 might reduce the link between amyloid and neuroinflammation to subsequently delay the onset of AD.\n\nID: 42199126\nTitle: Mitochondrial transfer: A comprehensive analysis of mechanistic insights, preclinical applications, and technological innovations.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial transfer, the intercellular exchange of functional mitochondria, is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and promoting tissue repair, particularly in neurological disorders associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. This review addresses the mechanisms through which mitochondrial transfer occurs, including tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, gap junction channels, and cell fusion. Mitochondrial transfer and transplantation have demonstrated positive therapeutic effects in various disease models, such as cerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Exogenous mitochondria can integrate into recipient cells, enhancing adenosine triphosphate production, restoring redox balance, and improving cellular survival under stress conditions. However, clinical translation faces significant hurdles, including immune rejection, limited recipient cell uptake capacity, a lack of standardized manufacturing protocols, and unresolved ethical concerns regarding mitochondrial sourcing. To address these challenges, cutting-edge biotechnological strategies, such as mitochondrial surface modification, nanocarrier-based delivery, biomaterial-assisted transplantation, and the use of engineered vesicles, are being developed to enhance the precision, stability, and biocompatibility of mitochondrial delivery. Furthermore, innovative approaches, including CRISPR-based genome editing, 3D-bioprinted tissue models, and artificial intelligence-assisted predictive platforms, are being explored to enhance mitochondrial function and delivery efficiency. Current strategies to harness mitochondrial transfer include pharmacological agents that enhance mitochondrial dynamics, stem cell-based delivery of healthy mitochondria, and the aforementioned bioengineered platforms. In conclusion, the integration of mitochondrial transfer as a groundbreaking treatment option for neurological disorders relies on addressing two to three fundamental challenges. These include the establishment of standardized and scalable protocols for production and quality control, formulating approaches to minimize immune reactions and improve the efficiency of mitochondrial integration, and creating a well-defined ethical and regulatory framework for sourcing and utilizing mitochondria. The primary contribution of this work lies in its integrated analysis of mechanistic insights, preclinical applications, and technological innovations, providing a consolidated roadmap for advancing mitochondrial transplantation from bench to bedside.\n\nID: 42179845\nTitle: Mesenchymal stromal/stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in brain disorders: mechanisms of repair and recovery.\nAbstract: Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) have emerged as promising cell-free therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) disorders including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), dementia, and multiple sclerosis (MS). MSC-sEVs offer advantages of low immunogenicity, ease of storage, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms by which MSC-sEVs have been reported to promote neural repair and recovery in preclinical models, through two convergent categories of action. First, MSC-sEVs exert direct neurorestorative effects, including activation of endogenous neural stem cells via Wnt/beta-catenin and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, neuroprotection through PTEN/Akt-mediated anti-apoptotic and antioxidant pathways, preservation of mitochondrial function through mitophagy regulation, and promotion of neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis through cytoskeletal remodeling and growth signaling. Second, MSC-sEVs modulate the injury microenvironment by shifting microglia and infiltrating macrophages toward anti-inflammatory phenotypes through NF-kB pathway modulation, converting reactive astrocytes to neuroprotective states, promoting angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier restoration, and enhancing oligodendrogenesis and remyelination. These effects are mediated largely through the transfer of microRNAs and other bioactive cargo to target cells at the injury site, although the relative contribution of individual cargo components remains to be fully established. We discuss how these actions address the pathophysiology of stroke, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, TBI, and MS, highlighting disease-specific mechanisms and the current gap between preclinical evidence and clinical validation. Finally, we address challenges for clinical translation, including standardization of critical quality attributes and potency assays, route-dependent biodistribution, safety considerations, and dosing optimization. We also discuss engineering strategies for enhanced efficacy, including surface modification for CNS-targeted delivery, source cell preconditioning, cargo engineering, and scaffold-based sustained release systems. Although no clinical trials have yet evaluated MSC-sEV therapy specifically for neurological disorders, the growing body of safety data from non-neurological MSC-sEV trials and the extensive clinical experience with parent MSC therapies provide a foundation for future CNS-focused studies. MSC-sEVs hold substantial potential as a cell-free approach for neurological disorders that currently lack effective regenerative therapies, although realization of this potential will require rigorous clinical validation.\n\nID: 42168490\nTitle: miR\u201116\u20115p Protects RGCs Against Retinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Modulating Astrocyte-Mediated Neuroinflammation Through the Wip1/NF-\u03baB Signaling Axis.\nAbstract: Astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation has recently been implicated as a key contributor to neurodegeneration following retinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. However, the role of miR\u201116\u20115p in this process remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the function and mechanism of miR\u201116\u20115p. TargetScan was used to predict miR-16-5p targets, which were validated by RNA pull-down. miR\u201116\u20115p expression was assessed by RT\u2011qPCR in IR retinas and in astrocytes after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Astrocyte activation, inflammatory cytokine, and Wip1/nuclear factor kappa B (NF\u2011\u03baB) signaling were examined following miR-16-5p modulation with mimics or inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis, retinal function, and morphology were evaluated. miR\u201116\u20115p was found to potentially target wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (Wip1) and decreased Wip1 expression. In IR-injured mouse retinas and OGD/R-treated astrocytes, miR\u201116\u20115p expression was significantly downregulated. This decrease was accompanied by astrocyte activation, increased TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 levels, and upregulation of Wip1 and phosphorylated NF-\u03baB p65 (p-p65). These retinal changes indicated retinal injury, characterized by increased TUNEL-positive RGCs, elevated cleaved caspase-3 levels, retinal thinning, and reduced electroretinography (ERG) amplitudes. Treatment with miR-16-5p mimics ameliorated these molecular, cellular, structural, and functional alterations, whereas miR\u201116\u20115p inhibitors exacerbated them. Collectively, miR-16-5p may protect RGCs from IR-induced apoptosis by suppressing astrocyte-mediated inflammation via the Wip1/NF-\u03baB signaling axis.\n\nID: 42163673\nTitle: P2X7 Receptor Activation Triggers a Neuroinflammatory Cascade Driving Migraine Pathophysiology: Implications for Glial Modulation and Symptom Management.\nAbstract: Migraine, a disabling neurological disorder, is increasingly recognized as being driven by neuroinflammatory processes. Purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 7 (P2X7R), an ATP-gated ion channel highly expressed in microglia, astrocytes, and neurons, has emerged as a pivotal regulator of these neuroimmune responses. This narrative review synthesizes the literature on P2X7R-mediated neuroinflammation and glial modulation in migraine. Evidence indicates that P2X7R activation triggers a cascade of pro-inflammatory events, including Pannexin-1 (PANX1) channel opening, NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome assembly, and the release of cytokines such as Interleukin-1\u03b2 (IL-1\u03b2) and Tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1). Concurrently, it activates p38 MAPK and Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling pathways, thereby amplifying glial pro-inflammatory phenotypes and facilitating key migraine phenomena like cortical spreading depression (CSD) and trigeminovascular activation. Consistently, pharmacological or genetic inhibition of P2X7R has been shown to attenuate CSD, pain behaviors, and associated cognitive deficits in animal models of migraine. The receptor's involvement is further underscored by its link to autophagy dysfunction and central sensitization, highlighting its broad role in migraine chronification. Although these findings position P2X7R as a master regulator of neuroinflammation in migraine by integrating glial activation, cytokine release, and neuronal sensitization, most supporting evidence currently derives from animal models, a crucial point to note. This limitation, alongside heterogeneity in experimental designs, underscores the need for more translational research in humans. Nonetheless, given its central role, P2X7R inhibition emerges as a promising disease-modifying therapeutic strategy, potentially by counteracting core pathophysiological drivers of migraine.\n\nID: 42161925\nTitle: O-GlcNAcylation reprograms microglial inflammatory states and attenuates Alzheimer's disease pathology.\nAbstract: Chronic neuroinflammation, primarily driven by microglia, is a hallmark and key contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. O-GlcNAcylation, a nutrient-sensitive post-translational modification, has emerged as a key regulator of cellular stress and inflammation, yet its role in microglial activation in AD remains unclear. We observed that hippocampal tissue from AD patients exhibits a marked reduction in O-GlcNAcylation, accompanied by enhanced pro-inflammatory M1 microglial polarization, elevated NF-\u03baB signaling, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In an LPS-induced neuroinflammation model exhibiting AD-relevant inflammatory and cognitive features, as well as in in vitro microglial cultures, LPS exposure led to a pronounced decrease in O-GlcNAcylation, particularly within Iba1-positive microglia. Systemic or in vitro treatment with glucosamine (GlcN) effectively restored O-GlcNAc levels, suppressed M1-associated inflammatory pathways, and promoted an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Mechanistically, GlcN enhanced O-GlcNAcylation of NF-\u03baB subunits p65 and c-Rel, limiting their nuclear translocation and downstream pro-inflammatory gene expression. Notably, GlcN treatment ameliorated LPS-induced memory deficits and neuronal loss in mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that O-GlcNAcylation acts as a modulatory regulator of microglial activation and neuroinflammation in AD, and that enhancing O-GlcNAcylation may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to preserve immune homeostasis and neuronal integrity.\n\nID: 42152587\nTitle: Intermittent Fasting Potentiates Aerobic Exercise to Reduce Hippocampal Amyloid Burden and Oxidative Stress via Suppression of NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 Signaling in an A\u03b2-Injected Rat Model.\nAbstract: NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-driven neuroinflammation contributes to Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, yet effective strategies to target this pathway are limited. We investigated whether aerobic exercise performed in a fasted state, rather than the fed state, would potentiate \u03b2-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)-dependent inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome signaling. Twenty-month-old male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups: AD, AD\u2009+\u2009intermittent fasting (ADIF), AD\u2009+\u2009aerobic exercise (ADAE), ADIF\u2009+\u2009aerobic exercise (ADIFAE), and sham-injected control (SC). AD-like pathology was induced by bilateral intrahippocampal injection of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2)1-42. The IF regimen consisted of a daily 14-h fast (06:00-20:00). Exercise consisted of moderate-intensity treadmill running (5 days/week for 4 weeks), either in the fed state or after \u223c12.5\u2009h of fasting. A\u03b2 injection impaired spatial learning and memory, elevated soluble A\u03b21-42 (sA\u03b2), malondialdehyde (MDA), NF-\u03baB, NLRP3, caspase-1, interleukin-1\u03b2 (IL-1\u03b2), and IL-18, and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the hippocampus (p\u2009 < 0.05). Both IF and exercise partially reversed cognitive impairments by reducing sA\u03b2 and oxidative stress, increasing BHB, suppressing NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 signaling, and restoring BDNF (p\u2009 < 0.05), while fasted-state exercise produced significantly larger effects than either intervention alone (p\u2009 < 0.05). Our findings suggest that performing exercise in a fasted state provides complementary metabolic, anti-inflammatory, and cognitive benefits that exceed those of either intervention alone. This combined regimen may represent a promising nonpharmacological strategy for targeting metabolic-immune and neurotrophic pathways relevant to AD progression.\n\nID: 42150247\nTitle: Multi-target Triazole-Benzopyrone hybrids modulating cholinergic dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation through GFAP/NF-\u03baB/APOE/NLRP3 axis in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative neurological disorder characterized by a deterioration in cognitive abilities, especially memory and learning. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of our agents on oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, cognitive function, and behavioral performance in an LPS-induced AD animal model and comprehensive in vitro and in vivo assays. The synthesized compounds, namely 4b, 5b, 6, 8a-d, and 11a-c, revealed acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (3.50-5.91\u202fnM) superior to that of the reference drug donepezil (6.33\u202fnM). The IC50 value of 11a the most active candidate was 3.50\u202fnM against hAChE, with a significant reduction in amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation by 70% compared to LPS-treated groups, it also reduced neuronal damage, as evidenced by histopathological analysis. Compared to LPS treated groups, 11a decreased brain GFAP, NLRP3, NF-\u03baB, APOE and MDA by 76%, 65%, 48%, 75%, and 59% respectively while increasing GSH by 81%. Molecular docking simulation, along with 100 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations conducted on the AChE-ligand complexes, demonstrated favorable conformations of ligand-protein complex throughout the simulations, predicting a dual binding to the CAS and PAS regions of the enzyme which is consistent with kinetic studies against hAChE. Moreover, the chemical stability and reactivity of the drug-target complex were evaluated using global and local reactive descriptors. These findings suggested that compound 11a possessed promising potential as a multi-target lead compound for the development of anti-Alzheimer treatments based on cholinergic, amyloidogenic, and neuroinflammation, through GFAP/NF-\u03baB/APOE/NLRP3 signaling axis.\n\nID: 42148080\nTitle: Anti-A\u03b23-10 monoclonal antibody 7B8 improves cognitive function and protects the blood-brain barrier in APP/PS1 mice by regulating the HMGB-1/RAGE/NF-\u03baB pathway.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most prevalent dementia, is primarily underpinned by the amyloid cascade hypothesis. Passive A\u03b2 immunotherapy effectively reduces cerebral A\u03b2 deposition but is limited by severe side effects, including cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), microhemorrhage, and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). Here, we investigated the efficacy and safety of a novel anti-A3-10 monoclonal antibody (7B8) in APP/PS1 double-transgenic mice, with a focus on its impacts on amyloid clearance, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. 7B8 was generated by immunizing mice with A3-10-KLH. Six-month-old APP/PS1 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 7B8 (10 mg/kg) weekly for 8 doses (7B8 group). Age-matched APP/PS1 mice treated with IgG and C57BL/6J mice served as negative and wild-type (WT) controls, respectively. One week after the final injection, behavioral tests were performed, followed by euthanasia for histological (left brain hemisphere) and biochemical (right brain hemisphere) analyses. Compared with the IgG group, the 7B8 group exhibited significantly reduced cerebral A\u03b2 deposition and improved cognitive function (both P\u00a0<\u00a00.05), comparable to the WT group. Notably, in these young 6-month-old APP/PS1 mice with early-stage amyloid deposition and minimal CAA pathology, 7B8 treatment did not increase microhemorrhage risk relative to the IgG control group (P > 0.05). Furthermore, 7B8 preserved vascular integrity by reducing perivascular A\u03b240 deposition and smooth muscle actin damage, while enhancing endothelial cell fluorescence intensity (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05). At the molecular level, 7B8 upregulated vascular LRP-1 and BBB tight junction proteins (ZO-1, CLDN-5, Occludin), and downregulated RAGE expression (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05). It also suppressed microglial and astrocytic activation, reduced levels of IL-6 and cortical TNF-\u03b1, and inhibited the HMGB-1/RAGE/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05), without affecting global TNF-\u03b1 or IL-1\u03b2 levels. 7B8 effectively alleviates cognitive impairment and clears cerebral and perivascular amyloid deposits in young APP/PS1 mice with early-stage AD pathology and minimal CAA, with no increased risk of microhemorrhage in this experimental setting. It also protects vascular structure and BBB integrity by inhibiting the HMGB-1/RAGE/NF-\u03baB-mediated neuroinflammatory response. Given the limitations of evaluating CAA-related safety in young mice, future studies using mid-aged (12-15-month-old) APP/PS1 mice with prominent CAA will be conducted to fully characterize 7B8's safety profile. These findings highlight 7B8 as a promising candidate for safe and effective AD immunotherapy, providing new insights into the development of ARIA-minimizing strategies.\n\nID: 42130461\nTitle: Gut Microbiota Dysbiosis Drives Early Alzheimer's Pathogenesis via Microglial TREM2/SYK/NF-\u03baB Signaling Axis.\nAbstract: Gut microbiota dysbiosis is implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but causal evidence and mechanisms linking it to microglial dysfunction remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether gut microbiota drives neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment via the microglial TREM2/SYK signaling axis in early AD. Using six-month-old APP/PS1 mice, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was performed between AD and wild-type mice. Cognitive function, gut microbiota composition (16S rRNA sequencing), serum metabolites, hippocampal neuroinflammation, microglial polarization, and TREM2/SYK/NF-\u03baB pathway activity were assessed. BV2 microglial cells were treated with A\u03b2 oligomers, a TREM2 agonist, or a SYK inhibitor for mechanistic validation. AD mice exhibited cognitive decline, reduced microbial diversity (e.g., decreased Bacteroidetes and Lactobacillus), and altered circulating metabolites, including decreased butyrate and elevated LPS. Their hippocampi exhibited heightened glial activation, elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6), and a shift toward pro-inflammatory activation markers (M1-associated). At the molecular level, TREM2 expression was downregulated, whereas SYK phosphorylation and NF-\u03baB activation were enhanced, concomitant with synaptic protein loss. Critically, FMT from healthy donors reversed these abnormalities and improved cognition, whereas AD microbiota induced mild pathology in wild-type mice. In vitro, TREM2 activation or SYK inhibition attenuated A\u03b2-induced M1 polarization and cytokine release in microglia. Gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes early AD pathogenesis by dysregulating the microglial TREM2/SYK/NF-\u03baB pathway, thereby driving neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction. Targeting this microbiota-signaling axis may offer novel therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 42116781\nTitle: [Effects of electroacupuncture on HMGB1/RAGE/NF-\u03baB pathway-mediated inflammatory response and reactive astrocyte in Parkinson's disease mice].\nAbstract: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1)/ receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE)/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-\u03baB) pathway-mediated neuroinflammatory response and reactive astrocyte in Parkinson's disease (PD) mice, and to explore the mechanism of EA in the prevention and treatment of PD. Thirty-six male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, and an EA group, with 12 mice in each group. The PD model was established by intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) for 7 consecutive days. From the first day of model establishment, mice in the EA group received EA at \"Baihui\" (GV20) and bilateral \"Shenshu\" (BL23), with continuous wave, frequency of 2 Hz and intensity of 2 mA, 15 min each time, once daily, for 14 days. Pole test, hanging test, and gait analysis were used to assess behavioral performance. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) positive cells in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. ELISA was used to detect \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn) content in the substantia nigra. Western blot was used to detect protein expression levels of TH, HMGB1, RAGE, NF-\u03baB, phosphorylated NF-\u03baB (p-NF-\u03baB), GFAP, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the substantia nigra. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect mRNA expression levels of HMGB1, RAGE, NF-\u03baB, GFAP, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 in the substantia nigra. Compared with the control group, the model group showed prolonged pole test time (P<0.01), decreased hanging score (P<0.01); shortened stride length and standing time (P<0.01), increased step frequency (P<0.01), and prolonged swing time (P<0.01) of bilateral forelimbs and hindlimbs; the number of TH-positive cells and TH protein expression level, as well as IL-10 protein and mRNA expression levels in the substantia nigra were decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), while \u03b1-syn content and the number of GFAP-positive cells, protein and mRNA expression levels of HMGB1, RAGE, GFAP, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6, as well as p-NF-\u03baB/NF-\u03baB and NF-\u03baB mRNA expression were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the EA group showed shortened pole test time (P<0.01), increased hanging score (P<0.05); increased stride length (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased step frequency (P<0.01), prolonged standing time (P<0.05, P<0.01), and shortened swing time (P<0.05) of bilateral forelimbs and hindlimbs; the number of TH-positive cells, TH protein level, and IL-10 protein and mRNA expression levels in the substantia nigra were increased (P<0.01, P<0.05), while \u03b1-syn content and the number of GFAP-positive cells, protein and mRNA expression levels of HMGB1, RAGE, GFAP, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6, as well as p-NF-\u03baB/NF-\u03baB and NF-\u03baB mRNA expression were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). EA can improve motor dysfunction in PD mice, protect dopaminergic (DA) neurons, and reduce \u03b1-syn protein aggregation, thereby exerting a neuroprotective effect. This effect may be related to inhibition of reactive astrocyte activation and the HMGB1/RAGE/NF-\u03baB pathway, thereby reducing neuroinflammatory responses.

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: 42610745\nTitle: Development of a FRET-Based Assay for Human Neutral Sphingomyelinase 2.\nAbstract: Neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) is a membrane-bound enzyme that hydrolyzes sphingomyelin (SM) into ceramide and phosphocholine. By generating the bioactive lipid ceramide, nSMase2 plays a critical role in cell stress responses and in regulating exosomes that package and transfer pathogenic factors, including tau protein and amyloid \u03b2. Thus, nSMase2 has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders. However, current tools to measure nSMase2 activity are limited, in particular those that could be used in therapeutic development. Here we developed a high-throughput assay to measure human nSMase2 activity. The assay uses a sphingomyelin substrate analogue with a FRET donor and acceptor pair attached to the headgroup and acyl-chain, respectively. Using recombinant human nSMase2, we sensitively detected both wild-type and mutant activity and demonstrated inhibition by the known nSMase2 inhibitor GW4869. The assay captures the major hallmarks of nSMase2 regulation by anionic lipids and displays sensitivity capable of detecting nSMase2 activity from cell lysates. Together, this assay enables rapid screening of nSMase2 inhibitors to support future therapeutic development.\n\nID: 42608768\nTitle: Exosome research and neuroimaging techniques: Visualization analysis of development trends and research hotspots.\nAbstract: In recent years, neuroimaging and exosome research have become increasingly integrated, providing new perspectives for elucidating the mechanisms of central nervous system diseases, developing non-invasive diagnostic tools, and advancing targeted therapeutic strategies. However, research in this field remains fragmented, and a systematic overview of the overall knowledge structure and cutting-edge hotspots is lacking. A total of 594 English-language articles from the Web of Science Core Collection were selected for bibliometric analysis performed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, to elucidate the current application status, development trends, and core hotspots of neuroimaging technology in exosome research. The overall publication volume in this field shows an increasing trend over time. China ranks first in the number of publications (209 articles), while the United States has the highest citation count (9623 citations) and serves as a core country in the international collaboration network. The University of California is the institution with the most publications (29 articles). High-frequency keywords include \"extracellular vesicles,\" \"exosomes,\" \"brain,\" and \"Alzheimer's disease,\" with neuroimaging primarily serving as an assessment and validation tool. The knowledge foundation focuses on mechanisms of exosome traversal across the blood-brain barrier, in vivo imaging validation (e.g., tracking using gold nanoparticle labeling), and complementary validation of exosome biomarkers with imaging (e.g., consistency between peripheral blood exosomal proteins and amyloid positron emission tomography imaging). The field has evolved from exploring drug carriers and standardizing biomarkers toward understanding mechanisms and engineering applications. High-impact application hotspots in neuroimaging include magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography tracing targeting the blood-brain barrier, multimodal dynamic monitoring with positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, early diagnosis that combines imaging technology with exosomal biomarkers (e.g., microRNA), high-resolution detection of single exosomes (e.g., imaging flow cytometry), novel imaging probes (e.g., molecular beacons and photoacoustic probes), and deep learning-assisted automatic analysis of exosomal morphology. These findings confirm that neuroimaging is gradually being recognized as an important in vivo visualization validation tool in exosome research. Current research hotspots are highly focused on targeted imaging of exosome traversal across the blood-brain barrier, multimodal molecular imaging tracing, combined diagnosis based on exosomal biomarkers and neuroimaging, highresolution imaging at the single-vesicle level, and deep learning-assisted morphological characterization of exosomes. These findings provide crucial in vivo imaging evidence for exosome-based neural repair strategies. This evidence, in turn, can accelerate the clinical translation of exosomes in neuroregenerative medicine research.\n\nID: 42608571\nTitle: Microglia activation by derepression of endogenous retroviruses drives inflammation and cellular senescence.\nAbstract: Aging-associated loss of chromatin compaction is linked to derepression of retrotransposable elements (RTEs) in mouse and human tissues. Whether such RTE transcription contributes to the microglia activation that is common in aged brains is unknown. Here, we show that DAXX, a histone chaperone and RTE repressor, is downregulated during aging, preserves microglia homeostasis and inhibits cellular senescence. Loss of Daxx in young-adult microglia drives a reactive phenotype marked by chromatin decompaction at RTEs, loss of homeostatic markers, cell cycle re-entry and behavioral changes. This state leads to DNA damage and microglial depletion, followed by replacement with DAXX-deficient/Apoehigh microglia displaying features of senescence. Sustained induction of senescence relies on promyelocytic leukemia protein, a DAXX-interacting factor and interferon target. Together, these findings highlight the importance of heterochromatin maintenance in preserving adult microglial identity and plasticity, with broader implications for brain homeostasis, healthy aging and behavior.\n\nID: 42606797\nTitle: Regenerative strategies for ALS: stem cells and extracellular vesicles.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is caused by progressive degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons. The disease is late onset, and to date, no early diagnosis is possible. Patients with ALS have a 5-year survival rate since diagnosis. Though recent studies highlighted the possible mechanisms of motor neuron degeneration in ALS, the treatment options are extremely limited. This underscores the urgent need to develop effective therapeutic strategies that can prolong patient survival and ultimately slow/halt ALS progression. Extracellular vesicles released from the degenerative milieu contribute to ALS propagation and progression by shuttling misfolded proteins, proinflammatory cytokines, and neurotoxins; thus, they could serve as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis. The advancement of stem cell-based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and the evolving understanding of extracellular vesicles as potential biotherapeutics provide a ray of hope for millions of patients suffering from neurological disorders/neurodegenerative diseases like ALS.\n\nID: 42603243\nTitle: Restoration of Neuronal Metabolism and Memory in Alzheimer's Disease by Reprogramming the Exosomal microRNA Network.\nAbstract: Historically the development of amyloid-\u03b2 plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles have been used as the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is increasing evidence suggests that these pathological hallmarks are secondary to deeper metabolic defect in the brain. AD is progressively being recognized as a metabolic synaptic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, impaired cellular energy homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic degeneration. Synaptic plasticity is closely linked to the insulin-sensitive system of glucose utilization, mitochondrial activity, and local protein synthesis that render the synapses highly sensitive to the malfunction of the metabolic system. Recent discoveries highlight the important role of exosomes in mediating communication between neural cells by transferring regulatory miRNAs across neuronal networks. Exosomal miRNAs regulate insulin signaling, synaptic gene expression, mitochondrial function, and neuroinflammation. In AD, exosomal miRNA profiles are significantly altered, with enrichment of miR-29, miR-34a, miR-146a, and miR-21, alongside depletion of synapse-supporting miR-132. These changes contribute to insulin resistance, impaired glucose transporter trafficking, dendritic spine destabilization, and reduced expression of synaptic proteins such as PSD-95 and synaptophysin, ultimately leading to cognitive decline. Importantly, neuron-derived exosomes can cross the blood-brain barrier, making their miRNA cargo promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early AD diagnosis and precision treatment.\n\nID: 42599667\nTitle: Multimodal MRI insights into hippocampal pathological changes across the Alzheimer's disease continuum: advances and challenges.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with early and progressive hippocampal pathology serving as a hallmark across the AD continuum, including subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and AD dementia. Single-modal MRI fails to fully capture multilevel hippocampal neuropathology, hindering accurate early diagnosis and prognostic prediction of AD. This narrative review summarizes recent advances in structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, quantitative susceptibility mapping, arterial spin labeling, and functional MRI for evaluating hippocampal and medial temporal lobe abnormalities in AD. These techniques provide a multifaceted characterization of AD-associated hippocampal alterations, including macroscopic atrophy, microstructural degeneration, metabolic dysregulation, aberrant iron deposition, hemodynamic dysfunction, and abnormal neuronal activity. Hippocampal damage in AD exhibits distinct subfield specificity, hemispheric asymmetry, and stage-dependent progression, modulated by A\u03b2/tau pathology, neuroinflammation, and apolipoprotein E \u03b54 genotype. Notably, multimodal imaging fusion integrated with machine learning outperforms single-modal biomarkers, significantly improving the accuracy of AD early screening, differential diagnosis, and prognostic prediction. Nevertheless, existing studies are hampered by inadequate pathological validation, limited sample sizes, unsatisfactory reproducibility, and multicenter technical heterogeneity. Multimodal MRI offers robust non-invasive evidence for exploring AD hippocampal pathophysiology. Future large-scale multicenter longitudinal studies combining artificial intelligence will advance precision diagnosis and targeted therapy for AD by clarifying the interplay among AD pathology, genetics, and heterogeneous hippocampal injury.\n\nID: 42597739\nTitle: Mental health and gut-brain crosstalk: implications for depression and Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Brain health and mental health disorders are increasingly becoming an essential priority for modern societies as they affect different parameters of life, such as brain health, quality of life, and productivity with a heavy societal and economic burden. Among mental health disorders, depression and Alzheimer disease (AD) have the higher impact on mental health globally as they are highly prevalent, cause long-term cognitive and mood deficits while they are deeply interconnected, with chronic stress raising as a risk factor and potential link between both disorders. This review focuses on the gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication network that links the gut microbiome with the central nervous system, and its role in brain malfunction and pathology related to stress, depression and AD. This intricate gut-brain crosstalk is orchestrated through top-down and bottom-up mechanisms implicating the HPA axis, the enteric nervous system as well as gut microbiota-derived metabolites, neurotransmitters, epigenetic processes and extracellular vesicles/exosomes that can contribute to depression and AD. The current work provides a comprehensive summary of evidence linking gut microbial alterations to these brain pathologies, with particular focus on lifestyle and nutrition (e.g. food, water) as critical regulators. Lastly, we explore the therapeutic potential of microbiome-targeted interventions including pro/pre/post-biotics, and trace elements (e.g. lithium and silicon). Overall, this review highlights the potential of microbiome-centered strategies as novel interventions to support mental health and wellbeing.\n\nID: 42593621\nTitle: Tau dysfunction in alzheimer's disease: molecular and cellular mechanisms, genetic modulation, and therapeutic perspectives.\nAbstract: Amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) plaque formation and tauopathy are two of several hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease. AD's widely known pathological hallmarks include extracellular amyloid-\u03b2 deposition, neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and cognitive decline. These pathological hallmarks can be explained at the neurochemical level as a loss of biochemical homeostasis in the brain. Dysregulated kinase-phosphatase signalling, altered post-translational modifications, and disrupted synaptic neurochemistry eventually push tau protein towards its pathological aggregation-prone form. Among these hallmarks, recent research has found that tau pathology plays a major role in neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Tau protein typically acts as a microtubule-stabilizing protein that helps maintain neuronal structure. In AD, pathological hyperphosphorylation, post-translational modifications, and redistribution of tau trigger its dysfunction and cytotoxicity. Pathological tau protein accumulates in neurons and undergoes a series of changes that include hyperphosphorylation, aberrant post-translational modifications, missorting, aggregation, fibrillization, and seeding as it spreads between cells. Mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 can have downstream effects on tau pathology. Variants in APOE, BIN1, PICALM, CD2AP, and TREM2 also influence tau pathology through cellular pathways including lipid metabolism, endocytic trafficking, proteostasis, and synaptic and neuroimmune mechanisms. These findings support a model in which tau dysfunction results from the convergence of molecular aberrations and genetic susceptibility within a pathological network involving amyloid-\u03b2, neuroinflammation, and synaptic failure. This review summarizes tau molecular and cellular mechanisms of tau dysfunction in AD, genetic factors regulating tau pathology, and emerging therapeutic approaches to mitigate tau-mediated neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42591319\nTitle: Biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease to differentiate normal, SCD, and MCI subjects and their correlation with cognitive function.\nAbstract: We assessed plasma biomarkers for the diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Subjects were divided into three groups: cognitively unimpaired (CU) (without subjective cognitive decline [SCD]) (n\u00a0=\u00a0113), CU with SCD (n\u00a0=\u00a0152), and mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n\u00a0=\u00a045). Plasma assays for amyloid beta (A\u03b2) 40, A\u03b242, neurofilament light chain protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and phosphorylated tau181 levels were measured using single molecule array (Simoa) technology. Neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) biomarkers were measured using the Corplex cytokine 10-Plex kit and the angiogenesis 6-Plex kit, respectively. Biomarker levels were regressed by cognitive group, age, sex, race, and apolipoprotein E apoE \u03b54 status, yielded significant positive associations between age and numerous AD, neuroinflammation, cytokine, and BBB plasma markers. Linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, race, and ApoE status, revealed significant differences between cognitive groups in levels of several plasma biomarkers and associations with age and sex. Neuroinflammation and BBB dysfunction showed significant positive associations with age across different stages of AD.\n\nID: 42588059\nTitle: Oxidative Stress in Alzheimer's Disease: Can Dietary Interventions Provide Neuroprotection?\nAbstract: Population aging is a growing problem. This process is driven not only by genetic factors but also by environmental factors, such as diet. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide, characterized by cognitive decline, synaptic dysfunction, and neuronal loss. Despite extensive research, effective disease-modifying therapies remain limited. Increasing evidence indicates that oxidative stress plays a central role in AD pathogenesis, acting as a key link between \u03b2-amyloid accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. Accordingly, dietary strategies have been proposed to mitigate these pathological processes and may represent an important component of Alzheimer's disease prevention. Moreover, emerging evidence on the gut-brain axis highlights the critical role of gut microbiota in regulating neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Dysbiosis has been associated with increased permeability of the intestinal barrier, systemic inflammation, and accelerated neurodegeneration. Dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean, DASH, and MIND diets may exert beneficial effects by simultaneously influencing antioxidant status and microbial composition. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease and evaluate the potential of dietary interventions in modulating mechanisms involved in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis and supporting cognitive health. Particular attention is given to the neuroprotective effects of dietary antioxidants, including vitamins, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which act through the reduction in reactive oxygen species, modulation of inflammatory pathways, and support of neuronal survival. Although current findings are promising, inconsistencies in clinical data indicate the need for further well-designed studies. Future research should focus on personalized nutritional strategies integrating dietary, genetic, and microbiome-related factors. Targeting oxidative stress through diet and microbiota modulation represents a promising complementary strategy for Alzheimer's disease prevention and supportive management, although further clinical studies are required to establish disease-modifying effects.\n\nID: 42587777\nTitle: Exercise as a Systemic Prevention and Management for Alzheimer's Disease: Restoring Brain-Body Homeostasis Through Metabolic, Neurovascular, Anti-Inflammatory, and Regenerative Mechanisms.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide and remains a major unmet medical challenge in aging societies. Although amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques and tau pathology are hallmark features of AD, the limited efficacy of many A\u03b2- and tau-targeted therapies suggests that AD arises from systemic and cerebral dysfunction. Aging-associated homeostatic failure-including hepatic metabolic, vascular, neuroendocrine, inflammatory, oxidative, and mitochondrial dysfunctions-promotes the accumulation of neurotoxic A\u03b2 and tau species, ultimately driving neurodegeneration and impairing endogenous neuroregeneration. Emerging evidence suggests that regular physical exercise induces metabolic, cardiovascular, and neuroendocrine adaptations, improving hepatic metabolic function, cerebral blood flow, oxygen delivery, mitochondrial activity, waste clearance pathways, and brain health. Exercise-induced musculoskeletal-brain crosstalk further contributes to these benefits through the release of myokines and extracellular vesicles, which facilitate systemic intercellular communication to regulate neurovascular function, neuroplasticity, and neuroregeneration. Collectively, these adaptations reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress while enhancing resilience across interconnected peripheral and cerebral systems. Therefore, physical exercise may represent a multifaceted preventive and therapeutic strategy capable of restoring brain-body homeostasis and mitigating AD progression. This comprehensive review discusses aging-associated systemic mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis and summarizes recent advances in the understanding of exercise-mediated protection against AD progression.\n\nID: 42586245\nTitle: Targeting the hallmarks of ageing: Pharmacological challenges and breakthroughs in CRISPR delivery systems and future prospects.\nAbstract: CRISPR has emerged as a next-generation gene-editing tool with the potential to target the molecular pathways associated with ageing and related disorders. It functions through RNA-guided Cas nucleases, directing DNA cleavage and utilizing the native DNA repair machinery for genetic manipulations. Advances in CRISPR technology have significantly enhanced the precision and flexibility of techniques for genome editing. The enzyme Cas9's ability to cut DNA at exact site has revolutionized genome editing by enabling accurate modifications within living eukaryotic cells. This review critically examines recent developments in CRISPR-based technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, base editing, prime editing, and CRISPR-mediated gene regulation. It highlights their rising applications in ageing research, with more emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The review also discusses the major pharmacological and translational challenges that currently limit clinical applications, including inefficient tissue-specific delivery, off-target genome editing, immunogenicity, manufacturing complexity, and long-term safety concerns. Also, recent progress in both, viral and non-viral delivery methods are critically evaluated, including adeno-associated viruses, lentivirus vectors, lipid nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, exosomes, electroporation, and microinjection, is thoroughly discussed to highlight their therapeutic potential and translational limitations. Current studies indicate that CRISPR-based approaches have preclinical potential for targeting important hallmarks of ageing, particularly genomic instability, telomere attrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Other hallmarks of ageing, such as stem cell exhaustion, epigenetic modifications, and microbiome changes, are at earlier stages of development. Overall, this review describes future strategies for developing safe, precise, and clinically translatable CRISPR-based treatments to promote healthy ageing.\n\nID: 42580680\nTitle: GLP-1 receptor agonists, metabolic syndrome, and Alzheimer's disease: Lessons and opportunities from the EVOKE trials.\nAbstract: Metabolic syndrome and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are increasingly recognised as interconnected, sharing vascular, metabolic and inflammatory pathways that accelerate brain ageing and cognitive decline. This review critically examines the evidence that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), initially developed for diabetes and obesity, may influence AD related pathways or reduce AD risk in metabolically vulnerable populations. Metabolic syndrome and AD related cognitive impairment share biological mechanisms including vascular damage, insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, suggesting that therapies targeting metabolic dysfunction could influence neurological outcomes. GLP-1RAs are notable for combining systemic benefits, like weight loss, improved glycaemic control, and reduced cardiovascular risk, with possible but incompletely established central nervous system effects. Experimental studies suggest that some GLP-1RAs may reduce amyloid and tau pathology, support mitochondrial function, and limit neuroinflammation, although recent preclinical studies and limited brain penetrance argue against a direct neuroprotective effect. Observational data suggest lower dementia rates among users compared with other antidiabetic treatments. However, the recent EVOKE and EVOKE + trials showed that oral semaglutide did not slow clinical progression in early symptomatic AD, despite positive biomarker effects. This highlights the challenge of translating biological plausibility into meaningful clinical benefit and refocuses attention on disease stage, target population, and mechanism. Beyond summarising evidence, this review advocates a more cautious and mechanism specific framework: preserving cognitive health may require addressing systemic metabolic dysfunction rather than targeting the brain alone. GLP-1 RAs have failed to show an effect in symptomatic AD, but their effects on metabolism might still be beneficial at earlier stages, such as the preclinical phase of AD. Future studies should determine whether earlier intervention in metabolically enriched groups can alter AD related cognitive, vascular, and biomarker trajectories.\n\nID: 42578428\nTitle: LPR-1-Mediated targeted intranasal delivery of lentinan-loaded polymeric nanocarriers for GBM therapy via modulation of apoptotic signalling.\nAbstract: To develop and evaluate a lactoferrin (Lf)-functionalized polyethylene glycol (PEG)-grafted chitosan (CS) nanocarriers (NCs) for low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1)-mediated intranasal delivery of lentinan (LNT) to enhance brain targeting and anti-glioblastoma (GBM) efficacy. Lf-LNT-PEG-CS-NCs were prepared, optimized, and characterized for particle size, entrapment efficiency, coating efficiency, and release behavior. Ex vivo permeation, cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, pharmacokinetic, and biodistribution studies were performed using U87 MG cells and Wistar rats. The optimized NCs exhibited a particle size of 205.3\u2009\u00b1\u200911\u2009nm, entrapment efficiency of 71.52\u2009\u00b1\u20090.98%, and coating efficiency of 92.42\u2009\u00b1\u20090.94%, with sustained drug release for 36\u2009h. The permeation increased by 2.86-fold, while cellular uptake reached 78.38\u2009\u00b1\u20093.76%. Treatment significantly reduced U87 MG cell viability (84.21\u2009\u00b1\u20092.75% inhibition) and induced apoptosis with 64.55\u2009\u00b1\u20092.28% G0/G1 arrest, accompanied by reduced COX-2 (55.81\u2009\u00b1\u20092.91%) and Bcl-2 (59.65\u2009\u00b1\u20091.95%) expression and increased caspase-3 (73.10\u2009\u00b1\u20092.91%). Intranasal administration achieved a CSF Cmax of 46.72\u2009\u00b1\u20093.78\u2009\u03bcg/mL and brain accumulation of 42.83\u2009\u00b1\u20092.59\u2009\u03bcg/mL. LRP-1-targeted Lf-LNT-PEG-CS-NCs significantly enhanced intranasal brain delivery, cellular uptake, and apoptotic activity of LNT, demonstrating a promising noninvasive platform for targeted GBM therapy.\n\nID: 42577281\nTitle: Neuroprotective effect of normal and modified mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes by mitigating Alzheimer's-related oxidative and inflammatory damage via Nrf2/HO-1 in SH-SY5Y cells.\nAbstract: Exosome therapy is emerging as a promising neuroprotective strategy for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We evaluated and compared whether normal exosomes (NE) and modified exosomes (ME) derived from AD rat brain extract-treated rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells possess the potential to protect SH-SY5Y cells against streptozotocin (STZ) induced toxicity. The effect of exosomes on oxidative stress, inflammation and neuronal survival was evaluated. Further, antioxidant mechanism of exosomes by nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1) signaling was explored. Cells were exposed to 5\u2009mM STZ and treated with NE and ME at an equivalent concentration of 50\u2009\u00b5g/mL. Exosomes were characterized by specific exosomal markers, CD63 and CD9. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay. Neuronal growth and survival were evaluated by measuring brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) using ELISA and neuronal nuclei (NeuN) expression using immunocytochemistry. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were determined using H2DCFDA, while inflammatory mediators, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) were quantified by ELISA. Expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 were also determined. Exosome treatment improved cell viability, reduced ROS, and lowered IL-6 and TNF-\u03b1 levels. Immunocytochemistry quantification showed increased nuclear Nrf2 and HO-1 expression in exosome-treated cells. Moreover, our data indicate that ME derived from AD rat brain extract-treated rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are more potent in protecting SH-SY5Y cells from STZ-induced oxidative stress and inflammation, possibly via Nrf2/HO-1 signaling, as compared to NE. These in vitro results support further preclinical evaluation of exosome-based strategies for AD.\n\nID: 42576814\nTitle: Exosome-based nanomedicine for neurological disorders: mechanisms, engineering, and therapeutic potential.\nAbstract: Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This review highlights recent advances in exosome biology, cargo-sorting mechanisms, and engineering strategies designed to enhance therapeutic delivery and targeting within the central nervous system. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of engineered exosomes in neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, spinal cord injury, neuropathic pain, and neuroinflammatory disorders. In addition, we discuss how exosomes compare with conventional delivery platforms and critically examine the major barriers limiting their clinical translation, including heterogeneity, scalability, reproducibility, purity, and regulatory standardization. By integrating mechanistic insights with translational perspectives, this review provides a framework for the rational design and future clinical implementation of exosome-based nanomedicines for neurological disorders. Relevant literature was identified through searches of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Publications available from database inception through [Month Year] were screened using combinations of keywords including \"exosomes,\" \"extracellular vesicles,\" \"neurological disorders,\" \"brain-targeted delivery,\" \"exosome engineering,\" \"drug delivery,\" and \"clinical trials.\" Additional relevant articles were identified through manual searches of reference lists from selected studies and recent reviews. Exosomes are tiny natural particles released by cells that act as messengers, carrying proteins and genetic material between cells. Scientists are increasingly studying these particles because they may help deliver medicines to the brain and spinal cord, where many treatments struggle to reach due to protective barriers. This review explains how exosomes are formed, how they can be modified to carry drugs or therapeutic molecules, and how they may help treat diseases affecting the nervous system, including Alzheimer\u2019s disease, Parkinson\u2019s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, and certain neuropsychiatric disorders.We also discuss the advantages of exosomes compared with conventional drug delivery systems and summarize recent advances in engineering strategies that improve their targeting abilities. Although laboratory studies have produced encouraging results, many challenges remain before exosome-based therapies can become routine treatments. These include difficulties related to large-scale production, quality control, safety, and ensuring that exosomes reach the desired tissues without causing unwanted effects.In addition, this review highlights current clinical studies and discusses the steps needed to translate these discoveries into real-world therapies. Overall, exosomes represent an exciting and rapidly evolving area of research that may contribute to the development of safer and more effective treatments for neurological disorders in the future.\n\nID: 42576610\nTitle: Myokines, Microbiota, and Neuroinflammation: Physical Activity Modulates the Gut-Brain Axis.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are increasingly recognized as disorders influenced not only by intrinsic neural pathology but also by systemic physiological networks, including the gut-brain axis. Emerging evidence highlights physical activity as a potent modulator of this bidirectional communication system, with muscle-derived signals particularly myokines, metabolites, and extracellular vesicles playing a central role. This narrative review synthesizes current knowledge on how exercise-induced molecular mediators influence gut microbiota composition, intestinal barrier integrity, immune signaling, and neuroinflammatory pathways. Findings were integrated across the disciplines of neuroscience, microbiology, and exercise physiology to evaluate mechanistic links between muscle-secreted factors and gut-mediated responses. Mechanistic links exist between muscle-secreted factors such as irisin, cathepsin B, BDNF-inducing pathways, and lactate with microbial metabolites including short-chain fatty acids. These interacting pathways demonstrate a combined impact on neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity, and the modulation of disease progression in neurodegenerative conditions. Physical activity represents a promising non-pharmacological strategy for modulating the gut-brain axis in neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding the interplay between muscle-derived signals and gut-mediated pathways may open new avenues for targeted interventions aimed at slowing or preventing neurodegenerative decline.\n\nID: 42576562\nTitle: WNT Signaling in Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms, Pathological Implications, and Therapeutic Potential.\nAbstract: The WNT signaling pathway plays a significant role in various biological processes during embryonic development, childhood, and adulthood. It is involved in neurogenesis, synapse formation, and such cognitive processes as learning and memory in the CNS. Dysregulated WNT signaling is associated with cognitive decline, synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and has been associated with diseases like leukemia and colorectal cancer. The studies show that WNT/\u03b2-catenin signaling affects the cellular, molecular, and metabolic mechanisms that promote disease progression. The WNT pathway is a potential therapeutic target because it helps maintain neuronal survival, supports the growth of new nerve cells, and enhances synaptic plasticity. WNT signaling is important for stem cell selfrenewal and differentiation. Research is being conducted on therapeutic methods targeting WNT signaling to treat neurological diseases and cancer. This review explores the connection between WNT signaling and the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. This review explores the role of WNT signaling in AD pathogenesis, with a focus on the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin pathway as a therapeutic target. It summarizes existing findings to demonstrate that WNT signaling is a context-dependent regulatory network in which a shift from protective canonical activity to dysregulated non-canonical and inflammatory pathways contributes to disease progression.\n\nID: 42571855\nTitle: Peripheral GDF15 as an early biomarker for brain disorders: A large prospective cohort study.\nAbstract: Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a stress-responsive cytokine involved in metabolic and inflammatory pathways. We examined the associations of plasma GDF15 with incident brain disorders and explored potential mediating pathways and causality. UK Biobank participants were followed for a median of 14\u00a0years. Plasma GDF15 was measured at baseline. Cox proportional hazards models assessed associations with incident brain disorders, including all-cause dementia (ACD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, stroke, and epilepsy. Mediation analyses evaluated biochemical and hematological pathways, and one-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to assess potential causal effects. Higher GDF15 levels were associated with increased risks of overall brain disorders and all examined subtypes. In continuous analyses (per 1-unit increase in log2-transformed GDF15), hazard ratios (95% CIs) were 1.54 (1.48-1.60) for overall brain disorders, 1.98 (1.80-2.17) for ACD, 1.84 (1.60-2.10) for AD, 1.37 (1.18-1.59) for PD, 1.26 (1.16-1.37) for anxiety, 1.38 (1.29-1.49) for depression, 1.40 (1.26-1.55) for sleep disorders, 1.92 (1.81-2.05) for stroke, and 1.71 (1.46-2.01) for epilepsy (all P\u00a0<\u00a00.001). Lipid- and inflammation-related markers appeared to partially mediate these associations. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) accounted for an estimated 7.51% of the association with depression and 11.47% with sleep disorders, while neutrophil count showed relatively larger mediation estimates across multiple outcomes. MR analyses did not support a direct causal effect of GDF15. Plasma GDF15 is associated with a broad range of incident brain disorders and may act partly through lipid- and inflammation-related pathways, particularly HDL-C and neutrophil count.\n\nID: 42570638\nTitle: Microglial immunometabolism in Alzheimer's disease: A stage-resolved trajectory from adaptive remodeling to the metabolic paradox.\nAbstract: Microglia are central regulators of the cellular phase of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Under chronic exposure to amyloid-\u03b2, pathological tau, and aging-associated bioenergetic decline, these cells undergo immunometabolic remodeling that may initially be adaptive. As stress persists, this remodeling can become maladaptive, marked by disordered glycolysis, disturbed lipid handling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and compensatory failure. In this review, we organize these changes as a stage-dependent trajectory from adaptive remodeling to functional decompensation. We introduce the \"metabolic paradox\" as an operational descriptor: a concurrent, same-cell mismatch between increased substrate uptake or inflammatory activation and declining bioenergetic efficiency and homeostatic function. Along this trajectory we examine neurovascular energy bottlenecks, substrate redistribution, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2)/apolipoprotein E (APOE)-dependent lipid homeostasis, mitochondrial and proteostatic collapse, and their links to persistent neuroinflammation, defective phagocytosis, aberrant synaptic pruning, and senescence-like dysfunction. We synthesize prior primary findings and stratify each major claim by evidentiary strength, avoiding the overinterpretation of model-specific results as patient-level mechanisms. Finally, we frame immunoprevention as mechanism-based, early-stage metabolic intervention to preserve homeostatic microglial function, a strategy whose clinical benefit remains a hypothesis requiring prospective testing.\n\nID: 42552042\nTitle: Brain energy crisis in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease: Nanotechnology as a therapeutic strategy.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are increasingly recognized as disorders marked not only by protein aggregation but by a sustained failure of brain energy metabolism. Years before overt cognitive or motor symptoms emerge, neurons begin to experience impaired glucose utilization, mitochondrial dysfunction, and declining ATP production. Because the brain is highly energy-dependent, even subtle metabolic disturbances can disrupt synaptic function, impair neuronal signaling, and trigger oxidative stress. As mitochondrial efficiency declines, reactive oxygen species accumulate, inflammatory pathways become chronically activated, and damaged cellular components are insufficiently cleared, creating a vicious cycle that accelerates neurodegeneration. Conventional metabolic therapies, including antioxidants and mitochondrial cofactors, have produced limited clinical success, largely due to poor penetration across the blood-brain barrier and lack of specificity for vulnerable neuronal populations and intracellular targets such as mitochondria. Nanotechnology introduces a more precise therapeutic strategy by enabling targeted delivery of metabolic modulators directly to the brain. Engineered nanocarriers can be designed to cross biological barriers, enhance drug stability, and release therapeutic agents in a controlled or stimuli-responsive manner within diseased regions. Advanced systems including polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based carriers, intranasal nano formulations, biomimetic vesicles, and catalytic nanozymes offer the ability to simultaneously modulate oxidative stress, restore mitochondrial function, and regulate neuroinflammation. By integrating delivery precision with metabolic intervention, neuro-nanomedicine shifts the therapeutic focus from symptomatic management toward addressing the underlying bioenergetic crisis. Although challenges remain in safety validation, scalability, and clinical translation, targeted nanotherapeutic strategies hold significant promise for transforming the treatment landscape of these debilitating neurodegenerative disorders.\n\nID: 42567350\nTitle: Valine modulates Alzheimer's disease risk in APOE \u03b54 carriers: evidence from two cohorts.\nAbstract: The apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) allele confers the greatest genetic risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). To identify APOE \u03b54-associated metabolic factors related to AD risk and to provide preliminary insights into their biological and nutritional context. We leveraged multi-omics analyses across two independent cohorts to characterize biomarkers associated with AD. The effects of metabolite\u00a0\u00d7\u00a0APOE \u03b54 interactions were tested on incident AD and the \u03b54-specific metabolic signatures were pinpointed. Multimodal analyses were used to test the underlying mechanisms, including neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and PET biomarkers within the A/T/N framework, as well as plasma proteomics combined with bioinformatics enrichment analyses. Across both cohorts, valine emerged as the only metabolite associated with a reduced risk of incident AD specifically among APOE \u03b54 carriers (P\u00a0<\u00a00.005). Significant interaction effects between valine and APOE \u03b54 were detected in both cohorts (P for meta-analyses\u00a0<\u00a00.005). Higher levels of valine were associated with greater total white matter and posterior cingulate cortex volumes, as well as with lower levels of CSF tau proteins. Higher valine levels also predicted a slower decline in FDG-PET metabolism. No association was found between valine and A\u03b2. Mediation analyses of plasma proteomic data suggested statistically significant mediation effects involving GFAP, NEFL, and APOE (P\u00a0<\u00a02\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010-16). Valine is a metabolite associated with lower AD risk in APOE \u03b54 carriers, with potential associations with tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation-related processes. As this was an observational study, causality cannot be inferred.\n\nID: 42562776\nTitle: Neural stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles ameliorate disease progression in the SOD1 G93A murine model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects motor neurons leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and ultimately, respiratory failure. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate intercellular communication by mimicking the functions of their parent cells. In this study, we found that repeated administration of neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (NSC-derived EVs) improved motor performance and provided protection to lumbar motor neurons, the neuromuscular junctions, and muscle morphology in the SOD1 G93A transgenic mouse model of ALS. Furthermore, by analyzing the RNA-sequencing of muscle specimens from ALS-SOD1 patients, we demonstrated that the rescue effects of NSC-derived EVs might be linked to the p53 pathway. Compared to the PBS control treatment group, both TP53 and the p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) were downregulated in the spinal cord of mice treated with NSC-derived EVs. These data provide additional knowledge for the promising use of NSC-derived EVs as a potential therapy for ALS.\n\nID: 42559224\nTitle: Genetic factors complicating recovery in patients with brain injury: Possible link between injury severity and posttraumatic neurodegeneration related to intracerebral amyloid deposition - A narrative review.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) may initiate long-term neurodegenerative processes that complicate postinjury recovery. Both severe and repetitive mild TBI are associated with dysregulated amyloid precursor protein processing and intracranial deposition of amyloid-beta (A\u03b2), a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease. The objective of the study is to summarize current evidence linking TBI with posttraumatic neurodegeneration, cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and genetically mediated susceptibility factors influencing recovery. A narrative review of relevant literature was performed with a focus on mechanisms of posttraumatic vascular amyloid deposition and the role of genetic predisposition. TBI triggers secondary injury mechanisms, including persistent neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and blood-brain barrier disruption, which promote sustained intracerebral A\u03b2 deposition and impaired clearance, which is closely associated with CAA and increased risk of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. Iatrogenic CAA represents a distinct A\u03b2-related entity with prolonged incubation and heterogeneous clinical presentation. It seems that genetic susceptibility, particularly apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (APOE\u03b54), is associated with increased amyloid burden, more severe cerebral contusions, and poorer long-term functional outcomes following TBI. TBI may accelerate neurodegenerative and amyloid-related vascular processes that adversely affect recovery. Genetic predisposition, especially APOE\u03b54, appears to modulate posttraumatic intracranial amyloid deposition and long-term outcomes, highlighting the importance of individualized risk assessment in patients with TBI.\n\nID: 42558984\nTitle: The Effectiveness Based on Optimal Dose and Administration Route, and Safety Profiles of Stem Cells and Derived Products in the Treatment of Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.\nAbstract: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of stem cell therapies for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) based on optimal dosing and administration routes, as well as the safety profiles of stem cells and their derived products. The review followed PRISMA guidelines and involved a comprehensive literature search up to October 2025, receiving ethical approval from Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and registration in PROSPERO. It utilized international databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Science Direct. The included studies comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental studies, and other interventional designs involving ALS patients treated with stem cell therapies. In total, 31 studies were analyzed, featuring 7 controlled trials with 370 participants and 24 non-controlled pre-post studies with 460 participants. Heterogeneity was evaluated using I 2 statistics, and subgroup analyses were conducted based on treatment duration and dosing. A pooled analysis (treatment group: n\u2009=\u200993; control group: n\u2009=\u200990) demonstrated a significant attenuation in the progression of disease severity, as measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS), in stem cell groups versus controls (weighted mean difference [WMD]: 8.89 95% CI: 4.12-13.67; p = 0.0003), which was beneficial for both the \u226510\u2009\u00d7\u2009106 and <10\u2009\u00d7\u2009106 dose sub-groups. However, a meta-analysis of single-arm studies in two control (pre-intervention) and intervention phases (n\u2009=\u200988) demonstrated no significant difference in progression of ALSFRS between study phases by time: month 3 (WMD: -1.27 (-3.01 to 0.47); p = 0.15), month 6 (WMD: -2.69 (-5.62 to 0.25); p = 0.07), month 9 (WMD: -1.55 (-3.49 to 0.39); p = 0.12), and month 12 (WMD: -7.59 (-13.95 to -1.26); p = 0.02). An accelerated decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) was observed during the intervention phase, with statistically significant reductions at month 3 (WMD: -10.91; 95% CI: -16.39 to -5.43; p < 0.0001) and month 6 (WMD: -15.97; 95% CI: -28.60 to -3.33; p = 0.01) compared with the pre-intervention control phase. Nevertheless, sensitivity analyses excluding studies involving high-dose mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies demonstrated that these differences were no longer statistically significant. Moreover, no significant change in progression rate was observed at month 9 (WMD: -8.10 (-18.25 to 2.06); p = 0.12). The route of MSCs administration (intrathecal [IT], intramuscular [IM], and intravenous [IV]) had no effect on the results of ALSFRS and FVC, reinforced by sensitivity analyses. Adverse events were mostly mild, with headaches most frequent in high-dose groups. Stem cell therapy for ALS appears to be safe, with preliminary evidence suggesting potential therapeutic benefit in slowing disease progression in selected patients. Nevertheless, the existing evidence base remains exploratory, and definitive conclusions regarding clinical effectiveness cannot yet be drawn. Future research should prioritize large-scale and multicenter RCTs with standardized cell manufacturing protocols and longer follow-up periods.\n\nID: 42556890\nTitle: THE ROLE OF PERIODONTITIS IN THE INITIATION AND PROGRESSION OF COGNITIVE DISORDERS: AN UMBRELLA REVIEW.\nAbstract: Cognitive disorders are a major cause of morbidity worldwide, and accumulating evidence indicates that chronic systemic inflammation may play a key role in their initiation and progression. Periodontitis, a prevalent chronic inflammatory oral disease, has been increasingly recognized as a potential risk factor for cognitive disorders. This umbrella review synthesized evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating the association between periodontitis and cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia and cognitive impairment. Following JBI methodological guidance for umbrella reviews, a comprehensive search was conducted across seven databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus) from inception to April 2025 to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the association between periodontitis and cognitive disorders in humans. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and quality appraisal using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tool. Due to heterogeneity, findings were synthesized narratively. Twenty systematic reviews and meta-analyses comprising 333 primary studies were included. Most reviews reported a significant association between periodontitis and AD or dementia. Meta-analyses consistently found increased risk estimates, with the strongest associations for severe periodontitis. Biological plausibility was supported by shared inflammatory pathways and detection of periodontal pathogens in brain tissue. However, evidence was predominantly observational, with substantial heterogeneity in diagnostic criteria. Evidence suggests a potential link between periodontitis and cognitive disorders, though results are inconsistent and causality remains unproven. Inflammatory and microbial mechanisms are proposed, but well-designed longitudinal and interventional studies with standardized criteria are needed.\n\nID: 42554989\nTitle: Impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the progression of Alzheimer's disease: A prospective cohort study.\nAbstract: BackgroundSARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with neurological sequelae and may accelerate Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression through neuroinflammation and protein aggregation. However, longitudinal evidence regarding the cognitive impact of COVID-19 in patients with AD remains scarce, and this interaction requires further clarification.ObjectiveTo explore whether COVID-19 accelerates cognitive decline in patients with AD.MethodsA total of 120 participants were enrolled, including 63 in the COVID-19 group and 57 in the non-COVID-19 group. The primary outcomes were disease decline and disease deterioration over three months, assessed using CDR-SB. Disease deterioration indicated clinically meaningful worsening, whereas disease decline captured subtler progression. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for demographic, clinical, lifestyle, genetic, and disease severity factors. Overlap-Weighted Propensity Score Matching was additionally performed to reduce confounding during the 3-month follow-up.ResultsCOVID-19 significantly increased the risk of disease decline (OR\u2009=\u200910.39, 95% CI:3.87 to 27.87, p\u2009<\u20090.001) and disease deterioration (OR\u2009=\u200910.37, 95% CI: 2.71 to 39.65, p\u2009=\u20090.001). APOE \u03b54 carrier status was associated with a higher risk of deterioration (OR\u2009=\u20091.72), while those with unknown APOE status exhibited an even greater risk (OR\u2009=\u20095.20, 95% CI:1.32 to 20.53, p\u2009=\u20090.019). Secondary analyses confirmed that COVID-19 patients experienced significantly greater increases in CDR-SB scores compared to non-COVID-19 patients.ConclusionsSARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with greater short-term cognitive worsening over a three-month period in patients with AD, underscoring its potential public health relevance and the need for early surveillance to guide timely clinical management.\n\nID: 42554250\nTitle: Early identification of vascular cognitive impairment from a multimodal perspective: a combined diagnosis from targeted cognitive assessments, imaging biomarkers, and molecular fluid biomarkers to ecological behavioral characteristics.\nAbstract: Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), the second leading cause of dementia, is characterized by heterogeneous pathophysiology and a potentially reversible early phase, underscoring the need for timely identification. This review synthesizes advances across four complementary domains - targeted cognitive assessments, imaging biomarkers, molecular fluid biomarkers, and ecological behavioral characteristics - conceptualized as the TIME framework. Emerging markers, including the peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD), oxygen extraction fraction, brain-derived extracellular vesicles, and digital gait metrics, enable the detection of microvascular injury before overt cognitive decline. Given the limitations of single modalities, we advocate for multimodal integration via machine learning to capture the disease continuum from vascular insult to clinical impairment. Establishing a standardized, pathophysiologically anchored classification system, analogous to the AT(N) framework in Alzheimer's disease, is essential to advance precision risk stratification and early intervention in VCI.\n\nID: 42553702\nTitle: Distinct brain extracellular vesicle microRNA profiles differ in frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Dementia is a syndrome caused by various diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with an estimated global prevalence of 60 million individuals. Recently, therapeutic development in the dementia field has accelerated, with the introduction of monoclonal antibody therapeutics such as Lecanemab and Donanemab. However, AD and FTD patients are still either diagnosed too late to benefit from available therapies or are misdiagnosed due to the clinical overlap between dementia subgroups making therapeutic intervention challenging. This highlights a real need to improve early diagnostic tools of neurodegenerative disease (ND) biomarkers. A potential source of such biomarkers come from small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), groups of cell-derived, lipid-bound assemblies with the capability to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and known to carry pathogenic proteins associated with AD and FTD. A known cargo of sEVs is microRNA (miRNA), regulatory molecules that post-transcriptionally silence gene expression including transcripts of autophagic systems, processes which dysfunction in dementia-causing diseases leading to toxic aggregate build-up, causing neurodegeneration. The targeting of functional machineries in macroautophagy (MA) and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) by different miRNA may vary between AD and FTD mutations, leading to potential biomarkers of disease being highlighted. Through isolating sEVs from the frontal cortex of post-mortem brain tissue of AD, FTD-MAPT, FTD-C9orf72, FTD-GRN and no-disease control patients (Manchester Brain Bank), miRNA cargoes were analysed and compared using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Seven autophagy-associated miRNA candidates (MA: miR-124-3p, miR-30a-5p, miR-128-3p; and CMA: miR-224-5p, miR-373-5p, miR-106a-3p and miR-26b-5p) were tested to identify dementia sub-group variations, used alongside small RNA-sequencing to explore broader miRNA variation within sEV populations. Of the miRNA tested miR-224-5p (P = 1.76 \u00d7 10-5) and miR-106a-3p (P = 0.033) showed significant group differences, and further significant pairwise comparison differences [miR-224-5p: AD fold change (FC) = 4.29, MAPT FC = 7.62; miR-106a-5p: AD FC = 5.59] when compared with no disease controls and other dementia subgroups, potentially showing initial diagnostic and differentiating potential. Small RNA-sequencing results revealed 8 AD, 2 FTD-GRN, 52 FTD-MAPT and 12 FTD-C9orf72 differentially expressed sEV-miRNAs when compared with no disease controls. Further direct comparisons between AD versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, and even FTD mutation versus FTD mutation-derived sEV cargoes, identified additional miRNA with differentiating capabilities. These findings demonstrate sEV-derived miRNA signatures vary across dementia sub-types and suggest potential roles of sEV cargoes in both disease diagnostics and identifying drivers of ND, such as autophagic impairments and signalling pathways.\n\nID: 42548982\nTitle: Editorial: New horizons in Alzheimer's disease research: combining cell, gene, and emerging therapies.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42545206\nTitle: Neutrophils Promote Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease Through Extracellular Vesicle-mediated Lipid Transfer.\nAbstract: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis are leading causes of chronic liver disease, yet the contribution of neutrophils to early hepatocellular lipid accumulation remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of neutrophils in hepatic lipid deposition during early MASLD development. Neutrophils acquired extracellular fatty acids (FAs) via FATP2 and CD36 and stored them as triglycerides (TGs). These lipid-laden neutrophils (LNs) did not utilize FAs for energy production or lipid mediator synthesis but instead transferred lipid cargo to hepatocytes through extracellular vesicles (EVs). Neutrophil-derived EVs were enriched with TGs and lipid metabolism-regulating microRNAs, augmenting TG accumulation in hepatocytes. Peripheral neutrophils isolated from high-fat diet-fed mice exhibited a lipid-laden phenotype, and adoptive transfer of LNs and EVs derived from LNs increased hepatic fat accumulation in recipient mice. In patients with MASLD, circulating neutrophils showed lipid droplet accumulation with increased TGs and enrichment of lipid-associated miRNAs while plasma EVs were also enriched with TGs and lipid-associated miRNAs. Single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral immune cells identified a neutrophil subpopulation characterized by enhanced lipid-handling and EV-related gene expression. These findings identify neutrophil-mediated lipid transfer via EVs as a mechanistic link between innate immune activation and hepatic lipid accumulation during early MASLD.\n\nID: 42530052\nTitle: Neurotrophic Factors in Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Neurodegeneration: A Convergent Pathophysiological and Translational Perspective.\nAbstract: Neurotrophic factors (NTFs), including nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), play a central role in neuronal survival, plasticity, and regeneration. Despite their distinct etiologies and temporal profiles, stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), converge on a common pathophysiological phenotype characterized by excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and neuronal apoptosis. Neurotrophic factors modulate these pathological cascades through tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) receptors, p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), and related signaling pathways, thereby supporting neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and synaptogenesis. Experimental evidence from preclinical models demonstrates robust beneficial effects of neurotrophin-based interventions in stroke, TBI, AD, and PD across protein, gene, and cell-based strategies. However, clinical translation remains severely limited. Early-phase clinical trials of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated GDNF and neurturin gene therapy for PD, ex vivo NGF gene therapy for AD, and BDNF gene therapy for AD have confirmed acceptable safety profiles but yielded modest or inconsistent efficacy, largely due to constraints in brain delivery, the need for invasive neurosurgical procedures, restricted target coverage, suboptimal control of expression, and marked patient heterogeneity. Consequently, the principal barrier to clinical success is not biological validity, but the lack of safe, effective and scalable delivery platforms capable of bypassing or functionally modulating the BBB. In this review we synthesize shared pathophysiological mechanisms linking stroke, TBI and NDDs; examine the biology, receptor systems, and signaling pathways of key neurotrophic factors; summarize preclinical evidence for their therapeutic potential; and critically evaluate current delivery strategies, including viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles, exosomes, cell-based therapies, small-molecule mimetics, and intranasal administration. We conclude that overcoming delivery barriers through development of improved viral and non-viral platforms, minimally invasive administration routes, controllable expression systems, and rational patient stratification based on disease stage and biomarkers will be essential to fully realize the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative potential of neurotrophin-based therapies for acute and chronic brain disorders.\n\nID: 42525165\nTitle: From astrocyte cholesterol synthesis to synaptic dysfunction: mechanisms of neuron-glia lipid coupling.\nAbstract: The brain contains a large proportion of the body's cholesterol, highlighting its importance in central nervous system function. Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis.\n\nID: 42523149\nTitle: Novel blood lncRNA biomarkers associated with clinical severity and specific cognitive dimensions in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: BackgroundDifferential expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in brain, serum, and blood show strong potential to distinguish Alzheimer's disease (AD) from healthy controls.ObjectiveTo explore whether lncRNA signatures delineate AD pathology and map to distinct, multidimensional cognitive domains, enhancing specificity in assessing AD severity and progression.MethodsWe profiled 29,603 lncRNAs transcripts in blood samples from 15 AD patients and 15 healthy controls, alongside comprehensive neuropsychological assessments. Generalized Linear Models and Predictive Power Score analyses, with statistical prioritization, identified lncRNAs associated to AD neuropsychological architecture.ResultsSeveral lncRNAs share strongly associated with cognitive performance and AD severity, mapping to genes involved in key AD-related molecular processes, including synaptic and neurotransmitter regulation (e.g., EPHB1, CHRNA4, TEAD1), protein homeostasis and A\u03b2 pathology (e.g., FBXL2, FAM221A, APP), mitochondrial function and cellular stress (e.g., VDAC3, PPT2-EGFL8), neuroinflammation and immune regulation (e.g., TEAD1, EMX2OS, LY6E-DT), epigenetic and transcriptional control (e.g., PRDM2, DLEU1, FIRRE), neuronal excitability (e.g., KCNJ14), and neuroprotection and synaptic plasticity (e.g., SIL1). Novel associations included ferroptosis, DNA stability, microtubule dynamics, and dendritic orientation (e.g., BTB3, DICER1, GNG7, IBA57, NEAT1, POT1, SRD5A3).ConclusionsWe identify candidate lncRNA signatures that may serve as potential biomarkers and enhance our understanding of the molecular basis of the cognitive architecture in AD, opening new avenues for biomarker identification and targeted therapeutic strategies development. Validation in larger, diverse cohorts is essential to confirm their mechanistic contributions to AD.\n\nID: 42521027\nTitle: The human retina in Alzheimer's disease: Pathology, mechanisms, and biomarkers.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration and synaptic dysfunction that begins decades before clinical symptoms emerge. While AD research has traditionally focused on the brain, increasing evidence suggests that the retina undergoes pathological remodeling that shares features with cerebral changes. Advances in retinal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, and hyperspectral approaches, have identified structural, vascular, and functional abnormalities in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage AD. This supports the potential utility of the retina as a non-invasive biomarker for detecting neurodegenerative processes. Furthermore, postmortem studies have demonstrated accumulation of amyloid-\u03b2 and phosphorylated tau, increased vulnerability of retinal ganglion cells (RGC), synaptic alterations in the inner plexiform layer (IPL), and significant activation of glial cells and complement-mediated inflammatory pathways. Melanopsin RGCs appear to be selectively affected, suggesting a mechanistic link between retinal pathology and the circadian or sleep disturbances commonly observed in AD. This review synthesizes human clinical data from imaging, histopathological, and proteomic studies supporting retinal involvement in AD, with emphasis on convergent mechanisms, including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, microglial activation, and synaptic degeneration. Key limitations and sources of variation in current retinal biomarker studies, including cohort heterogeneity, comorbid ocular disease, and methodological variability, are discussed, and future directions are outlined to strengthen retinal diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring of visual system dysfunction in AD.\n\nID: 42518751\nTitle: Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease-associated sensory dysfunction: mechanistic links, actionable targets and therapeutic strategies.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and major public-health challenge in aging societies worldwide. Accumulating evidence suggests that olfactory and visual deficits can precede overt cognitive symptoms and are closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 deposition, pathological tau phosphorylation, and disease progression. Early sensory abnormalities in AD likely arise from converging pathological processes. Among these, chronic neuroinflammation marked by microglial and astrocytic reactivity, inflammasome activation and increased pro-inflammatory mediators might play a pivotal role linking sensory-circuit injury to neurodegeneration. A coherent synthesis of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying early olfactory and visual impairment in AD remains limited, and putative molecular pathways and interventions have not been fully integrated. We aimed to identify AD-related olfactory and visual or retinal abnormalities, combine core inflammatory pathways and their interactions with amyloid-\u03b2 and tau pathology, and summarize actionable targets and candidate interventions along a \"receptor-intracellular signaling-inflammasome-effector\" axis, to inform earlier-stage detection and mechanism-guided intervention in AD.\n\nID: 42516873\nTitle: Emerging biomarkers for Parkinson's disease in biological fluids.\nAbstract: Early and accurate diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains a challenge, hindering the efficient recruitment of patients into clinical trials aimed at disease modification. This underscores the urgent need for validated and clinically applicable biomarkers. Research continues to expand our knowledge of fluid biomarkers for detecting and monitoring PD progression. Cerebrospinal fluid \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn) seed amplification assays (SAA) have emerged as highly sensitive and specific biomarkers for the diagnosis of PD. The development of less invasive procedures using biological fluids such as serum or saliva would be more practical for routine clinical use. Recent data demonstrate the presence of pathogenic \u03b1-synuclein in the serum of PD patients compared with healthy controls, detected using real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assays. Elevated ratios of pS129-\u03b1-syn and/or oligomeric \u03b1-syn to total \u03b1-syn have also been reported in PD. Future research should clarify differences in protein aggregate formation across various synucleinopathies. Promising advances toward a clinically useful blood-based diagnostic test for PD include the quantification of proteins released from neural-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), such as oligomeric and phosphorylated \u03b1-syn, tau, and disease-associated microRNAs. Given the role of neuroinflammation in PD pathogenesis, inflammatory biomarkers, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1(TNF-\u03b1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), are under active investigation. Furthermore, fluid biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease pathology are being explored for their potential to predict motor and cognitive decline in PD and related synucleinopathies. Salivary EVs hold promise as a non-invasive source of PD biomarkers; however, robust validation in large, well-characterized cohorts is essential to improve the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of PD.\n\nID: 42509698\nTitle: Integrating Multi-Omics and Mendelian Randomization Reveals the Role of Epstein-Barr Virus Infection in Alzheimer's Disease and the Therapeutic Potential of Resveratrol.\nAbstract: The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complex, with immune system dysregulation playing a critical role. However, the specific molecular mechanisms linking peripheral immune responses to central pathologies in AD remain unclear. This study aims to systematically screen for reliable plasma biomarkers of AD by integrating transcriptomics, Mendelian randomization (MR) of plasma proteomics, and bioinformatics analyses, and to explore their potential pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic drugs. Transcriptomic sequencing of plasma samples from three AD patients and three healthy controls was first performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and perform functional enrichment analyses. The aim of this study is to provide a preliminary indication of gene expression changes based on real patient samples for subsequent MR and bioinformatics analyses, rather than serving as confirmatory evidence. Following this, two-sample MR was performed to explore the potential causal relationship between plasma proteins and AD in genetic prediction, and MR-positive results were intersected with transcriptome DEGs to identify highconfidence targets. After that, protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, functional enrichment (GO/KEGG), and transcription factor (TF) target network analysis were conducted. Based on the KEGG pathway analysis, the causal association between antibodies related to Epstein-Barr virus and AD in genetic prediction was further evaluated. In the end, the diagnostic power of core biomarkers was validated in the GEO dataset. Potential therapeutic drugs were screened in the CTD database, followed by verification through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Our transcriptomic enrichment analysis of DEGs indicates that AD is significantly correlated with viral infection and immune and inflammatory pathways. According to the results of MR analyses, 36 plasma proteins have a causal effect on AD in genetic prediction. Among these 36 targets, two pathways are identified as enriched: \"EBV Infection\" and \"Efferocytosis\". Seven core targets are CR2, ICAM1, TAPBP, TNFAIP3, THBS1, SCARF1, and SIRPG. Also, the concentration of antibodies against EBV EBNA-1 and VCA p18 was confirmed by MR analyses to be risk factors for AD. According to drug predictions, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations, resveratrol can stabilize CR2. This study systematically identifies major plasma immune biomarkers associated with AD and proposes a mechanism by which EBV infection regulates plasma proteins CR2, TNFAIP3, and THBS1, which may affect AD risk. Resveratrol is thought to have preventive and protective effects, as predicted computationally. This study systematically identified key plasma markers associated with AD. Resveratrol is likely to become a potentially effective preventive and protective drug in the prevention and treatment of AD, providing new ideas and targets for immune intervention of AD.\n\nID: 42507332\nTitle: Disease mechanisms and translational barriers guide nanocarrier design for nose to brain delivery in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with limited disease-modifying treatment options, partly because many therapeutic agents show insufficient brain exposure and dose-limiting systemic adverse effects after conventional administration. Nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery has emerged as a non-invasive strategy to transport therapeutics to the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, thereby partially bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Recent advances in nanomedicine and biomaterial engineering have further improved this approach by enhancing drug stability, nasal residence, mucosal transport, and brain-targeting efficiency. This review examines nanocarrier-enabled N2B delivery strategies for AD from a mechanism-guided perspective, highlighting how AD-related pathological processes shape the selection of therapeutic cargos and formulation designs. We discuss recent progress in the intranasal delivery of repurposed small molecules, natural products, insulin-related agents, peptides and proteins, extracellular vesicles, antibodies, and nucleic acid-based therapeutics. We further summarize major nanocarrier and formulation platforms, including lipid-based systems, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, extracellular vesicles, in situ gels, and device-assisted delivery technologies. Particular attention is given to the design parameters that influence N2B performance, including particle size distribution/PDI, surface charge, mucus interaction, cargo protection, targeting modification, biodistribution, and deposition reproducibility. Finally, we critically evaluate the translational challenges that continue to limit clinical application, including species differences in nasal anatomy, dose-volume restrictions, device-dependent variability, limited human pharmacokinetic evidence, manufacturing complexity, long-term safety, and regulatory requirements. By integrating disease mechanisms, nanocarrier design, and translational considerations, this review provides a structured perspective for developing more rational and clinically feasible N2B nanodelivery systems for AD.\n\nID: 42505375\nTitle: Stimulus-Based ApoE Alzheimer's Disease Induction Model Using Microglia-Containing Brain Organoids for Drug Discovery.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a multifaceted progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory deficits and cognitive impairment. The disease is clinically diagnosed by the presence of \u03b2-amyloid (A\u03b2), hyperphosphorylated tau, and neurodegeneration. Animal models serve as an indispensable tool to understanding AD pathogenesis and evaluating potential therapeutic approaches. However, despite the development of more than 200 rodent models, species-specific differences limit the translational relevance. Brain organoids generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the potential to bridge the gap between transgenic mouse models and clinical trials in human patients. Herein, we describe a robust stimulus-based neuroimmune organoid model that demonstrates neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and lipid dysregulation with AD-relevant pathological markers. Using planar organoids containing neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular cells, we performed in-depth characterization of the induced AD-like phenotype using supernatant proteomic analysis, immunofluorescence staining, NfL and GFAP release, scRNAseq, bulk RNAseq, and pathway analysis both acutely (24 h) and chronically (7 days). Furthermore, we show that the induced neuroinflammation, lipid dysregulation, and neurodegeneration can be ameliorated using small molecules. This defined inducible model system presents an opportunity for drug discovery and development using a complex multicellular brain microenvironment derived from human iPSCs.\n\nID: 42500791\nTitle: Association of sTREM2 and YKL-40 With Alzheimer's Disease Progression: A Systematic Review.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation is recognized as a core feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) and chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) are fluid biomarkers of microglial and astrocytic reactivity associated with AD progression. However, their coupling to amyloid and tau pathology, stage-specific roles, and prognostic utility remain unclear. This systematic review synthesized evidence from 2021 to 2025 on associations of sTREM2 and YKL-40 with AD progression. This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore, and Web of Science were searched (Jan 2021-Dec 2025), with citation searching. Duplicates were removed using EndNote X21 (Clarivate, London, UK). Two independent reviewers screened records using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) criteria, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Original human studies measuring sTREM2 and/or YKL-40 across the AD spectrum were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to heterogeneity in study design and outcomes, a narrative synthesis was performed. Thirteen studies were included: seven on sTREM2, five on YKL-40, and one on both. Six were low risk of bias, and seven were moderate. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 showed a biphasic pattern across disease stages, with early potential neuroprotective associations and later correlation with cortical atrophy and cognitive decline. A sex-APOE \u03b54 interaction was observed, with higher levels in female carriers. YKL-40 showed weak amyloid associations but strong coupling with tau pathology and neurodegeneration, influenced by vascular risk factors. Plasma YKL-40 predicted incident dementia and cognitive decline, and serum YKL-40 differentiated early dementia from controls with good diagnostic performance. sTREM2 and YKL-40 represent biologically distinct but complementary neuroinflammatory pathways in AD. sTREM2 reflects a stage-dependent microglial response, while YKL-40 reflects tau-associated astrocytic activation modulated by vascular factors. Longitudinal studies with concurrent biomarker assessment are needed to clarify their combined prognostic value.\n\nID: 42496889\nTitle: Systems pharmacology and targeted transcriptional profiling suggest the putative neuroprotective role of Leuconostoc mesenteroides in an in vitro Alzheimer's disease model.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder driven by amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) accumulation, mitochondrial failure, and neuroinflammation. While probiotics show therapeutic potential via the gut brain axis, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of Leuconostoc mesenteroides lysate and its bioactive metabolites in an A\u03b2-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma model. SH-SY5Y cells were challenged with A\u03b2 and treated with L. mesenteroides lysate. Neuroprotective effects were evaluated via ROS accumulation, SOD1, APOE, NOS2, and mitochondrial dynamics (MFF, OPA1) using qPCR and WB. Potential mechanisms of action were explored computationally through integrated genome mining (antiSMASH 7.0), molecular docking (CB-Dock2), and systems pharmacology analysis (STRING/KEGG/R-studio) to identify candidate metabolites and host targets. L. mesenteroides lysate significantly attenuated A\u03b2-induced ROS levels and upregulated SOD1, enhancing antioxidant capacity. The lysate effectively downregulated APOE expression and restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing mitochondrial fission (MFF) and promoting fusion (OPA1). In silico analysis predected phytoene as a primary bioactive metabolite with significant theoretical binding affinity for APOE. Systems biology mapping revealed highly significant enrichment in PPAR signaling and cholesterol metabolism pathways (FDR\u2009<\u200910\u207b\u2075). Specifically, Cellular Component analysis highlighted robust interactions within protein-lipid complexes (FDR\u2009=\u20091.98e-16). L. mesenteroides lysate counteracts A\u03b2-induced neurotoxicity by modulating oxidative stress and restoring mitochondrial bioenergetics. Collectively, our findings suggest a theoretical Phytoene-PPAR-APOE signaling axis as a predictive framework for the observed cellular effects. We emphasize that phytoene represents a predicted candidate metabolite requiring future chemical characterization and biological validation.\n\nID: 42496844\nTitle: Targeting eHsp90\u03b1/GRP78 signaling-mediated endothelial barrier dysfunction in diabetic atherosclerosis: evidence from clinical and experimental studies.\nAbstract: Early detection of diabetic atherosclerosis (DAS) remains challenging, and the mechanisms underlying endothelial barrier dysfunction in this condition are not fully understood. Extracellular Hsp90\u03b1 (eHsp90\u03b1) and the ER stress marker GRP78 have been implicated in vascular injury; however, their roles in DAS remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 with DAS and explore the underlying mechanisms. We recruited patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with DAS. We then compared the levels and potential efficacies of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 between the two groups. We subsequently conducted cytological experiments and experiments with ApoE-/-\u00a0mice to further explore the underlying mechanisms involved. The serological analysis revealed that the levels of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 were significantly higher in the DAS group than in the DM group and that the eHsp90\u03b1 level was correlated with GRP78 level. The association and preliminary discriminative performance of the combination of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 levels were appeared higher than that of either marker alone. In addition, GRP78 plays a mediating role in the relationship between eHsp90\u03b1 and DAS. Furthermore, the expression of GRP78 was higher in both diabetic ApoE-/- mice and DAS patients than in control ApoE-/- mice and AS patients. Cytological experiments revealed that eHsp90\u03b1 induced endothelial barrier dysfunction mediated by ER stress via the LRP1 receptor. Our findings suggest that eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 are associated with diabetic atherosclerosis and may be associated biomarkers with potential discriminative value, although further validation is required. The eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. However, further large-scale and longitudinal studies are required to validate these findings.\n\nID: 42489538\nTitle: The interplay between impaired kidney function and hypertension in dementia: A 13-year longitudinal study.\nAbstract: BackgroundHypertension and kidney function impairment (KFI) are established risk factors for dementia and may reinforce each other. However, whether their coexistence confers excess dementia risk remains unclear.ObjectiveTo examine the multiplicative and additive interactions between hypertension and KFI in relation to incident dementia and explore potential biological pathways.MethodsWe included 218,858 dementia-free adults followed for a mean of 13.2 years. KFI was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60\u2005mL/min/1.73\u2005m2. Cox proportional hazards models assessed independent associations and multiplicative interaction, while additive interaction was evaluated using the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion (AP), and synergy index (SI). Plasma proteomic data on 2911 proteins were available for 6127 participants.ResultsHypertension was associated with dementia risk (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-1.31; p\u2009<\u20090.001), whereas KFI was not (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.94-1.11; p\u2009=\u20090.571). A significant multiplicative interaction was observed (p\u2009=\u20090.018). KFI was associated with dementia only among participants with hypertension (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.01-1.29; p\u2009=\u20090.023). A positive additive interaction was also observed (RERI, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.05-0.49; AP, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.05-0.29; SI, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.11-3.07), although it was attenuated after full adjustment. Proteomic analyses implicated immune and inflammatory pathways.ConclusionsHypertension may modify the association between impaired kidney function and dementia risk. Their coexistence may identify individuals at higher risk, but further studies are needed to confirm these findings and clarify the underlying mechanisms.\n\nID: 42614559\nTitle: Microglia-astrocyte crosstalk as a key organizing principle of Alzheimer's disease: from homeostatic cooperation to maladaptive signaling loops.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has long been framed around amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) and tau pathology, yet mounting evidence indicates that dysfunctional microglia-astrocyte crosstalk is an important, and often underappreciated, contributor to disease progression that operates alongside-rather than in place of-neuronal, vascular, and proteinopathic mechanisms. Here we propose a three-stage framework in which glial communication transitions from silent vulnerability through organized defense to maladaptive collapse. During preclinical aging, gut dysbiosis, diminished tryptophan-derived aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligands, and blood-brain barrier weakening prime glia toward inflammatory states with elevated complement tone. Upon A\u03b2 accumulation, microglia and astrocytes initially mount a compensatory response-forming reactive glial nets, containing plaques, clearing tau, and executing complement-guided synaptic pruning. However, sustained pathological burden triggers self-reinforcing loops involving the C3-C3aR axis and IL-1\u03b1/TNF-\u03b1/C1q signaling, converting the glial network into a propagation engine for tau spreading and synapse loss-the strongest correlate of cognitive decline. We discuss the tryptophan-microbiota-AHR axis as one candidate upstream modulator, while emphasizing that direct human evidence remains limited, and highlight APOE4 in exacerbating microglia-dependent synaptic phagocytosis. To support testability, we operationally define maladaptive loops and communication collapse, and specify measurable variables, fluid/imaging biomarker proxies (e.g., the sTREM2/GFAP ratio), and falsifiable predictions. This framework, presented as an integrative hypothesis rather than an established principle, argues that future therapies must combine protein-targeted approaches with restoration of glial communication homeostasis.\n\nID: 42611377\nTitle: Emerging roles of granzymes in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation: mechanistic insights and therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases are increasingly recognized as disorders shaped not only by intrinsic neuronal vulnerability, but also by chronic neuroinflammation mediated by maladaptive neuroimmune signaling. Granzymes, a family of serine proteases classically studied for their cytotoxic roles in anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity, are emerging as important mediators of central nervous system (CNS) pathology. In addition to their canonical intracellular functions, granzymes can act extracellularly to cleave the extracellular matrix (ECM), activate cell-surface receptors, disrupt epithelial barrier function, amplify inflammatory cascades, and alter glial and neuronal responses to injury. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on the roles of Granzyme A (GzmA), Granzyme B (GzmB), Granzyme H (GzmH), and Granzyme K (GzmK) in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation across diverse CNS disease and injury contexts, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). GzmB is the most extensively characterized, with evidence supporting both intracellular neurotoxicity and extracellular pathogenic functions mediated through protease-activated receptor signaling, ECM cleavage, outer blood-retina barrier disruption, angiogenesis, fibrosis, and chronic inflammation. GzmA is implicated in tau proteolysis and structural destabilization of neurons and astrocytes, while GzmK has emerged as a context-dependent regulator of neuroinflammation through PAR-1 activation, microglial modulation, and complement cascade activation. GzmH remains the least understood but may contribute to nerve injury through mechanisms that are only beginning to be defined. We also discuss endogenous and pharmacological granzyme inhibition, highlighting the therapeutic promise of selective extracellular granzyme targeting, particularly for GzmB, while emphasizing the current lack of selective inhibitors for GzmA, GzmK, and GzmH. Collectively, these findings position granzymes as underappreciated neuroimmune effectors and potential therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative diseases and CNS injury.\n\nID: 42609050\nTitle: Characterization of [18F]SMBT-1 binding substrates in Alzheimer's disease and related disorders: A postmortem biochemical and immunohistochemical study.\nAbstract: Neuroimaging studies report associations of amyloid beta (A\u03b2) positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F](S)-(2-methylpyrid-5-yl)-6-[(3-fluoro-2-hydroxy)propoxy]quinoline ([18F]SMBT-1), a novel reactive astrogliosis surrogate radiotracer with high affinity for monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Postmortem association of [18F]SMBT-1 binding with pathology of AD and non-AD tauopathies is undefined. [18F]SMBT-1 binding, [3H]Pittsburgh compound B ([3H]PiB) binding, and MAO-B activity assays in brain homogenates, with [18F]SMBT-1 autoradiography and MAO-B immunoreactivity in relation to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II), A\u03b2, phosphorylated tau, cyano-Pittsburgh compound B (cyano-PiB), and X-34 on brain sections from AD, non-AD tauopathies, and nondemented controls. [18F]SMBT-1 binding correlated with MAO-B activity and [3H]PiB binding, with highest levels in AD. [18F]SMBT-1 autoradiography corresponded to MAO-B/GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes associated with A\u03b2 deposits in plaques and vasculature, more closely than to tau pathology. [18F]SMBT-1 binding and MAO-B activity in non-AD tauopathies partially overlapped controls and AD, with MAO-B/GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes in areas with tau pathology. [18F]SMBT-1 is a promising biomarker of MAO-B reactive astrocytes in AD and non-AD tauopathies.\n\nID: 42608731\nTitle: The mitophagy-inflammasome axis: a shared pathological hub in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) represent the most prevalent chronic neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by progressive loss of neurons as a core pathological feature. Despite discrepancies in their clinical phenotypes and signature pathological proteins, accumulating evidence has validated a common molecular pathogenic mechanism: dysfunctional bidirectional crosstalk between mitophagy and inflammasomes. As the central hub of neuronal energy metabolism, mitochondrial impairment triggers the release of damage-associated molecular patterns such as reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial DNA, which in turn activate inflammasomes (e.g., NLRP3) to elicit chronic neuroinflammation. Conversely, excessive inflammasome activation suppresses mitophagy, exacerbating the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and pathological protein aggregates, and forming a pathological mitochondrial damage-inflammatory activation-autophagy inhibition cycle. Microglia and astrocytes, key immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system, act as a hub within this regulatory network. Therapeutic strategies targeting the mitophagy-inflammasome axis have achieved remarkable advancements, including mitophagy agonists, inflammasome inhibitors, and dual-target modulators. This review summarizes recent findings regarding the pathogenic roles of \u03b2-amyloid and \u03b1-synuclein in AD and PD, as well as the protective effects offered by regulating mitophagy and inflammasome activity. Furthermore, the major directions and potential hurdles in the development of targeted therapeutics are discussed, in the aim of providing insights into the novel therapeutic avenues for the treatment of both disorders.\n\nID: 42606899\nTitle: Aquaporin-4 Mediated Glymphatic Dysfunction and Neuroinflammatory Signaling in Neurodegenerative Disorders.\nAbstract: Aquaporin channels are the predominant fluid regulating channel found in the central nervous system (CNS) and plays a pivotal role in maintaining fluid and ion homeostasis, as well as regulating neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. This protein is primarily located at astrocytes endfeet within the blood cerebral barrier and other central nervous system (CNS) junctions, facilitating the movement of water in both directions, buffering potassium levels, and aiding in the clearance of interstitial solutes, along with toxic metabolites such as amyloid-\u03b2, via the glymphatic system. Changes in the expression or polarization of AQPs are implicated in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and ischemic stroke. Impaired functionality of AQPs is involved in a number of pathological processes including heightened oxidative stress, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, and neuroinflammation. Such pathways are targeted by transcription factors, including nuclear factor \u03baB (NF\u03baB), and signaling pathways, including p38 MAPK, that increase AQPs expression following the action of stressors. Furthermore, impairment of AQPs polarity suppresses glymphatic clearance and promotes toxic protein accumulation, one of the key features of Alzheimer 's disease. AQPs structural features, including its six transmembrane helices and conserved NPA motifs, are critical for function, positioning it as a putative therapeutic target. Preclinical data support the notion that modulation of AQPs activity may offer neuroprotection through restoration of homeostasis and reduction of inflammation in neurodegenerative disease. This review describes the mechanistic links between AQPs dysfunction and neurodegenerative disease, highlighting its potential and limitations as a therapeutic target for the prevention of CNS disorders.\n\nID: 42601565\nTitle: Secretome Derived from Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells as a Therapeutic Approach for Osteoarthritis: Insights from In Vitro, In Vivo, and Clinical Evidence.\nAbstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disorder characterized by articular cartilage deterioration, synovial inflammation, and progressive loss of joint function. Current treatments predominantly address symptoms without modifying structural disease progression, highlighting the need for disease-modifying strategies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), particularly umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs), exert therapeutic effects primarily through paracrine mechanisms rather than direct engraftment. The UC-MSCs secretome, comprising soluble bioactive factors and extracellular vesicles, modulates pro-inflammatory signaling, inhibits chondrocyte apoptosis, and promotes cartilage matrix biosynthesis. In vitro studies demonstrate restoration of anabolic chondrocyte phenotype, suppression of catabolic enzymes (MMP-13, ADAMTS-5), and attenuation of NF-\u03baB and MAPK pathway activation. Preclinical models show preservation of cartilage architecture, reduced synovial inflammation, and improved joint function following intra-articular administration. Early clinical investigations report reductions in pain scores and functional improvements with favorable short-term safety profiles, though evidence remains largely derived from MSCs-based rather than secretome-specific interventions. Current findings support the biological plausibility and translational potential of UC-MSCs secretome therapy; however, clinical evidence remains limited and heterogeneous. Adequately powered randomized controlled trials with standardized protocols and extended follow-up are required to establish long-term efficacy and safety.\n\nID: 42600903\nTitle: Pyroptosis in Alzheimer's disease: Mechanisms and neuroinflammatory networks.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder pathologically characterized by amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition, tau protein hyperphosphorylation, neuronal loss, and sustained neuroinflammation. In recent years, pyroptosis, a gasdermin-mediated form of inflammatory programmed cell death, has been recognized as a potential mechanism linking innate immune activation to neurodegenerative injury. This review summarizes the major molecular pathways of pyroptosis, including the canonical inflammasome-caspase-1-GSDMD pathway, the noncanonical caspase-4/5/11-GSDMD pathway, and alternative pathways involving caspase-3/GSDME and caspase-8, with a focus on their roles in the initiation, amplification, and propagation of neuroinflammation in AD. Current evidence suggests that AD-related stimuli, including A\u03b2 aggregation, tau pathology, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and lysosomal damage, can induce inflammasome activation, gasdermin cleavage, and inflammatory mediator release, thereby sustaining chronic neuroinflammation. Concurrently, microglia, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes may exhibit varying degrees of pyroptosis-related responses, contributing to impaired A\u03b2 clearance, neuronal injury, glial dysfunction, and myelin pathology, respectively. This review further summarizes potential therapeutic strategies targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome, caspases, gasdermins, natural bioactive compounds, and the gut-brain axis. Overall, pyroptosis provides a novel framework for understanding the interplay between neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in AD; however, its cell-type-specific roles, stage-dependent effects, and translational potential remain to be fully elucidated.\n\nID: 42595620\nTitle: Detection of bacterial extracellular vesicles in patients with cystic fibrosis - a pilot study.\nAbstract: Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen closely linked to Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Recent publications emphasize that an accumulation of bacterial derived extracellular vesicles within the circulation might be associated with the pathogenesis of various chronic inflammatory diseases and could potentially be used as diagnostic tool. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) were isolated and characterized via Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) from plasma samples of persons with CF (pwCF) without infection with P. aeruginosa (PsA-, n = 31), pwCF with confirmed P. aeruginosa infection (PsA+, n = 29), and control individuals (HC, n = 30). Size and concentration of bEVs were evaluated and correlated with clinical parameters. Western blot analyses were implemented to study the species-specific origin of bEVs, using lysates and reference vesicles. bEVs could be detected in all samples from both, HC and pwCF. Relative NF\u2011\u03baB induction, assessed via a TLR4 reporter assay, was significantly elevated in pwCF than in HC, with the strongest responses observed in PsA+ patients. emphasize bEV-associated activity. Surprisingly, CFTR modulator treatment (ETI) enhanced LPS concentration of bEVs in pwCF independent of P. aeruginosa colonization. Moreover, NF-kB induction correlated negatively with serum IgA levels in PsA+ patients. Direct detection of bEVs in plasma samples via Western blot was technically not possible. Our findings suggest a potential link between pulmonary P. aeruginosa colonization and increased systemic bEVs-associated activity as potential consequence of deficient mucosal barrier function. However, further research is required in order to validate our findings and to clarify the influence of ETI on bEV accumulation.\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: 42584359\nTitle: Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Elaeocarpus braceanus Alleviate DSS-Induced Ulcerative Colitis in Mice Through Multiple Pathways.\nAbstract: This study aims to isolate extracellular vesicles derived from Elaeocarpus braceanus fruits (EBDEVs) and evaluate their alleviating efficacy as nature nanoparticles against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC). EBDEVs were isolated by differential and density gradient ultracentrifugation, then characterized for morphology, size, stability, and composition. Their anti-inflammatory activity was assessed in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. In vivo, acute UC was induced in C57BL/6 mice by 2.5% DSS. Disease severity, intestinal barrier integrity, TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB pathway activation, and gut microbiota composition were evaluated. EBDEVs exhibited a typical spherical structure and were rich in bioactive components such as lipids, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Macrophages readily internalized them and significantly inhibited LPS-induced NO production. In UC mice, EBDEVs ameliorated weight loss, colon shortening, and tissue damage, while reducing serum inflammatory cytokines. EBDEVs restored intestinal barrier function by regulating tight junction proteins. Mechanistically, EBDEVs suppressed the activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB and downstream NLRP3 inflammasome inflammatory signaling cascades, and remodeled the dysregulated gut microbiota structure. EBDEVs alleviate DSS-induced UC in mice by repairing the intestinal barrier, inhibiting inflammatory pathways, and modulating gut microbiota.\n\nID: 42570838\nTitle: Dental Pulp Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Dentin-Pulp Complex Regeneration: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.\nAbstract: To systematically examine and quantitatively synthesize preclinical studies assessing the impacts of dental pulp stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (DPSC-EVs) on dentin-pulp complex (DPC) regeneration and related regenerative outcomes. Preclinical in-vitro and in-vivo studies assessing the effects of DPSC-EVs on regenerative outcomes associated with DPC regeneration, including odontogenic differentiation, immunoregulation, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, angiogenesis, and neurovascular regeneration. Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, without limitations on publication year or language. Preclinical studies assessing DPSC-EVs for DPC regeneration were selected via duplicate removal, title/abstract screening, and full-text evaluation following PRISMA guidelines. In-vitro, EV exposure upregulated BMP2 (5.2-fold), DSPP (4.9-fold), OCN (4.4-fold), DMP1 (2.7-fold), RUNX2 (2.0-fold), and ALP (2.3-fold) compared to controls. Angiogenic effect was significantly improved, with VEGF upregulated by nearly 2.5-fold and endothelial junction development by 2.9-fold. Additionally, EV treatment alleviated pro-inflammatory cytokine expression by 44% while elevating anti-inflammatory signaling almost 2.0-fold. In-vivo, EV treatment significantly enhanced odontogenic regeneration, angiogenesis, ECM formation, and neurovascular tissue development, with COL1A1 and DSPP exhibiting the highest reported regenerative outcomes. Odontogenically triggered, hypoxia-treated, and engineered EVs consistently showed superior biological functionality compared to traditional EVs. Existing preclinical evidence indicates that DPSC-EVs exhibit substantial capacity for DPC regeneration. Nonetheless, significant methodological heterogeneity and the lack of clinical evidence presently preclude conclusions concerning clinical effectiveness. Standardization of EV manufacturing, characterization, dosing, and translational assessment remains necessary before clinical implementation can be considered. Existing preclinical evidence reflects that DPSC-EVs improve several biological pathways related to DPC regeneration, such as odontogenic differentiation, angiogenesis, ECM deposition, and immunoregulation. These outcomes support continued translational research of DPSC-EVs as a promising cell-free regenerative approach; nonetheless, clinical implementation awaits validation via large-animal and human clinical studies. Open Science Framework registration number: 10.17605/OSF.IO/MTP9.\n\nID: 42570705\nTitle: Metabolic reprogramming-driven neuroimmunoregulation: Key mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities and challenges in central nervous system disorders.\nAbstract: Central nervous system (CNS) disorders are fundamentally linked to metabolic dysregulation within immune and glial cells. This review provides a systematic synthesis of immunometabolic reprogramming-encompassing glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation-in CNS-resident microglia, immunomodulatory astrocytes, and peripherally infiltrating immune cells (T cells, B cells, and neutrophils) across Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and ischemic stroke. Critically, rather than presenting all reported metabolic alterations as equivalently established, we introduce an evidence-transparency framework that systematically distinguishes the nature of supporting data-ranging from direct metabolic flux measurements (Seahorse, isotope tracing, lipidomics) and molecular correlates, to genetic/pharmacological perturbations, human tissue validation, and model-specific observations-enabling readers to independently assess the strength of each major conclusion. We further delineate aging as an active analytical dimension, demonstrating how age-related changes in mitochondrial quality control, lipid handling, redox buffering, and glial-immune crosstalk establish a permissive baseline that modifies disease-specific reprogramming trajectories. By integrating analyses of intercellular crosstalk, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and oxidative stress, we illustrate both convergent and divergent metabolic mechanisms across diseases. Finally, we critically assess therapeutic strategies targeting immunometabolism, emphasizing shared translational obstacles including target selectivity, blood-brain barrier penetration, stage-dependent efficacy, and the inherent challenge of pathway pleiotropy. This review provides a conceptually grounded framework for interpreting immunometabolic evidence, navigating the gap between correlative findings and causal mechanisms, and guiding future hypothesis-driven therapeutic design for CNS disorders.\n\nID: 42552048\nTitle: Energetic crisis, mitochondrial vulnerability and disruption of lactate shuttle in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has traditionally been characterized by amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Emerging evidence reveals that metabolic dysfunction represents a key pathological feature central to disease progression. Mitochondrial dysfunction in AD leads to impaired electron transport chain activity and reduced level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, preceding neurodegeneration and structural abnormalities in cognitive centres of the brain. Early glucose hypometabolism and lactate deprivation or interference with their utilization represent a primary bioenergetic failure driving mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation prior to the clinical manifestation of AD. While the brain relies on lactate as a prominent energy substrate, astrocytic metabolic defects lead to impaired neuronal energy homeostasis, thereby promoting neurodegeneration. In turn, this metabolic uncoupling could also be associated with defects in regenerative mechanisms by impairing adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus due to energy deprivation, accounting for memory deficits. This chapter discusses the evidence for the energetic crisis in AD, focusing on the disruption of the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS), hypometabolism of glucose, and mitochondrial vulnerability, as interconnected pathogenic mechanisms. We emphasise cerebral bioenergetic metabolic failure as a central driver of cognitive decline, arising from irreversible reactive gliosis and neuroblastosis mechanisms and highlight various therapeutic options, including restoration of ANLS to mitigate the pathogenesis and memory loss in AD.\n\nID: 42551706\nTitle: Salivary and Gingival Crevicular Fluid Extracellular Vesicles in Periodontal Diseases.\nAbstract: This review synthesizes current biomarker-mediated, mechanistic, and clinical evidence on extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) as potential diagnostic and functional regulators in periodontal diseases (PD). Preclinical and clinical studies assessing EV-related molecular signatures, biological functions, and diagnostic utilities in PD were included without restriction on publication date. Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases were searched. A narrative-scoping approach was adopted to integrate heterogeneous evidence. Findings were synthesized qualitatively owing to variability in methodologies, EV isolation methods, and analytical systems. Growing evidence supports salivary and GCF EVs as robust, non-invasive biomarkers capable of capturing real-time PD activity. EV payload reflects host-microbial interplay, immune-inflammatory signaling, and tissue remodeling mechanisms, with salivary EVs offering oral and systemic understanding, and GCF-EVs providing site-specific resolution closely linked with clinical parameters. Beyond diagnostic significance, selected EV components exhibit potential mechanistic roles in PD pathogenesis, indicating a dual function as biological mediators and biomarkers. Nevertheless, existing literature remains mainly associative, restricted by small sample size, methodological variability, and lack of standardized methods. Future research should prioritize longitudinal designs, large-scale validation, and integrated multi-omics strategies to allow predictive modeling and clinical application. Salivary and GCF EVs allow real-time, non-invasive PD identification and monitoring, outperforming conventional approaches that reflect past injury. Their systemic and site-specific insights facilitate early diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized therapy, while clinical adoption mandates standardization and large-scale validation.\n\nID: 42551536\nTitle: How do energy metabolism disorders and neuroinflammation collectively contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease?\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD), as the leading cause of dementia, poses an increasingly severe socioeconomic burden in the context of global ageing. Traditionally defined by amyloid-\u03b2 and tau pathology, it's increasingly recognized as a systems disorder in which impaired glucose metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation interact across neural cell types and disease stages. However, the interaction among these three mechanisms, their role in promoting the classical pathology of AD, and their verification in major neural cell types remains unclear. This review summarizes the alterations in glucose metabolism and mitochondrial metabolism in neurons, astrocytes and microglia in AD and their relationship with neuroinflammation, while also discussing some unaddressed questions, outlining therapeutic strategies, and future promising directions. Biomarkers that reflect disease stage and pathological status, multitarget therapeutic strategies, individualized precision medicine, and the integration of pharmacological with non-pharmacological interventions represent particularly promising directions for the future.\n\nID: 42567782\nTitle: Interleukin-6 trans-signalling as a selectively targetable driver of neurodegeneration.\nAbstract: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exerts protective and pathogenic effects in the central nervous system through distinct receptor-signalling modes. Classical signalling via membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) is often associated with homeostatic and reparative functions, whereas trans-signalling, mediated by soluble IL-6R, expands IL-6 responsiveness to gp130-expressing cells and may promote chronic inflammation. Emerging evidence implicates dysregulated IL-6 trans-signalling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Here, we review mechanisms linking IL-6 trans-signalling to immune, glial, neuronal, and vascular dysfunction in neurodegeneration. We highlight key knowledge gaps and discuss whether selective targeting of trans-signalling can limit inflammatory pathology while preserving beneficial classical IL-6 functions.\n\nID: 42562244\nTitle: Mitochondrial transfer in the tumor microenvironment: Mechanisms, immunometabolic consequences, and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial transfer has emerged as a previously underappreciated layer of intercellular communication within the tumor microenvironment. Accumulating evidence demonstrates its contribution to the metabolic and functional plasticity of both tumor and immune cells. Rather than representing a rare stochastic event, mitochondrial exchange occurs across multiple cell types-including cancer cells, stromal cells, and infiltrating immune cells-via distinct structures such as tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), gap junctions, and transient cell fusion events. In tumor cells, acquisition of exogenous mitochondria is commonly associated with enhanced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), improved metabolic adaptation, and increased tolerance to therapeutic stress. Conversely, immune cells that undergo mitochondrial depletion or receive dysfunctional mitochondria frequently display impaired bioenergetic capacity and diminished effector function, thereby contributing to immune dysfunction in the TME. Recent advances in intravital imaging, single-cell technologies, and lineage tracing have provided compelling evidence that mitochondrial transfer is a dynamic, context-dependent and often directional process. Beyond metabolic effects, mitochondrial components, particularly mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), can engage innate immune pathways including TLR9, NLRP3, and cGAS-STING, thus modulating inflammatory signaling and antitumor immunity. Overall, mitochondrial transfer functions as a bidirectional regulator of immunometabolic states in cancer, with potential either to support tumor progression or to modulate immune responses, depending on cellular context. Understanding the molecular determinants governing this process may offer opportunities to selectively target pathological mitochondrial exchange or to exploit it for therapeutic benefit in cancer immunotherapy. This comprehensive review examines the molecular mechanisms, immunological consequences, and therapeutic implications of mitochondrial transfer in cancer.\n\nID: 42561602\nTitle: Insulin resistance as a driver of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease: Mechanistic links and therapeutic approaches.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex, multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-\u03b2 plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau protein aggregates, leading to progressive cognitive decline. Growing evidence suggests that AD may also be considered a metabolic disorder closely associated with insulin resistance (IR). Impaired insulin signaling disrupts the PI3K/Akt and GSK3-\u03b2 pathways, resulting in synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and aberrant protein phosphorylation. Moreover, IR contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation within the central nervous system (CNS). These metabolic alterations, together with impaired energy homeostasis, dysregulate intracellular signaling cascades and exacerbate amyloid and tau pathology. This narrative review examines the mechanistic interplay among insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation in AD, with particular emphasis on the shared cellular pathways that underlie disease progression. In addition, it summarizes emerging therapeutic strategies targeting insulin signaling, including pharmacological insulin-sensitizing agents, incretin-based therapies, lifestyle interventions, and bioactive natural compounds. The review also highlights advances in intranasal delivery strategies, which have emerged as a promising approach for enhancing brain targeting and improving therapeutic efficacy. Despite substantial progress, the precise mechanisms linking insulin resistance to neurodegeneration remain incompletely understood. Further mechanistic and translational studies are urgently required to elucidate these interactions and advance the development of effective therapeutic interventions.\n\nID: 42560134\nTitle: Mechanisms, Biomarkers and Therapeutic Implications of Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, affecting millions of individuals and imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens. While traditional research has focused on amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles as primary pathological hallmarks, mounting evidence implicates neuroinflammation as a critical third pillar in AD pathogenesis. This review critically evaluates current understanding of neuroinflammatory mechanisms in AD, examining the complex interplay between cellular mediators, molecular pathways and environmental triggers across a temporal disease-stage framework. We explore the dual and stage-dependent roles of microglia and astrocytes, expand discussion of blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction and peripheral immune infiltration as underappreciated pathogenic contributors, and integrate emerging evidence linking neuroinflammation specifically to tau pathology and its stereotyped propagation through the brain. Diagnostic biomarkers, including translocator protein-positron emission tomography (TSPO-PET) and plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), are evaluated with explicit attention to clinical utility, technical limitations, and their relationship to established AD biomarkers. Therapeutic strategies are critically assessed with careful distinction between preclinical proof-of-concept data and available clinical evidence, and key translational challenges are highlighted throughout. The review emphasizes the need for stage-appropriate intervention windows, patient stratification by neuroinflammatory endotype, and biologically rational combination strategies. Understanding neuroinflammation's temporal and spatial dynamics offers promising but as yet insufficiently realized avenues for early intervention and disease modification in AD.\n\nID: 42558378\nTitle: Extracellular vesicles from pasteurized Akkermansia muciniphila ameliorate inflammatory bowel disease through suppression of STING-driven inflammatory signaling.\nAbstract: Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) has shown considerable potential in maintaining intestinal barrier homeostasis and regulating host inflammatory responses, both of which are commonly disrupted in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the therapeutic application of live A. muciniphila in IBD remains controversial. Interestingly, A. muciniphila-derived extracellular vesicles (AEVs) have been reported to improve intestinal barrier function, immune status, and gut microbiota composition, and may exert superior efficacy in IBD. In parallel, pasteurized A. muciniphila has been shown to retain, or even enhance, beneficial bioactivity compared with the live bacterium in certain disease settings. Here, we investigated whether extracellular vesicles derived from pasteurized A. muciniphila (PAEVs) preserve or further enhance the anti-inflammatory and barrier-protective effects of the parental bacterium. A dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse model of colitis was used to evaluate the therapeutic effects of PAEVs and AEVs. Disease severity, body weight loss, colonic histopathology, inflammatory cytokine expression, intestinal barrier integrity, inflammatory signaling pathways, and gut microbiota composition were assessed. PAEVs markedly attenuated DSS-induced colitis, as evidenced by reduced weight loss, improved colonic histology, decreased levels of TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IFN-\u03b3, and enhanced tight junction proteins. By contrast, AEVs improved only limited parameters, including Occludin expression and TNF-\u03b1 levels. Mechanistically, PAEV-mediated protection may be associated with suppression of the STING/I\u03baB/NF-\u03baB signaling axis and remodeling of the gut microbiota. These findings indicate that PAEVs effectively alleviate experimental IBD by enhancing tight junction proteins, suppressing some inflammatory cytokines, and modulating gut microbiota composition. Compared with AEVs, PAEVs exhibit broader protective effects, suggesting that extracellular vesicles derived from pasteurized A. muciniphila may represent a promising postbiotic strategy for IBD intervention. Importantly, this study offers the first systematic comparison of extracellular vesicles derived from live and pasteurized A. muciniphila, highlighting PAEVs as a distinct and potentially more effective postbiotic vesicle formulation for IBD intervention.\n\nID: 42557952\nTitle: In-Vitro Evaluation of HIV/SARS-CoV-2 Co-Infection Mediated Proteomic Changes in Astrocytes and Pericytes Reveals Altered Signaling Pathways Associated With Neurodegenerative Disorders.\nAbstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors frequently experience a wide range of symptoms known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) or long COVID. Importantly, complications arising from microvascular dysfunction, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and chronic neuroinflammation have been implicated in driving PASC within the central nervous system (CNS), known as neuro-PASC. Notably, people with HIV (PWH), who suffer from chronic neuroinflammation, BBB impairment, and glial cell dysfunction, collectively known as neuro-HIV, are generally at higher risk of neuro-PASC. The overlap between neuro-PASC and neuro-HIV raises concerns that HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infection may exacerbate neurological dysfunctions among PWH. In this study, using an in-vitro cell culture model, we examine the effects of HIV and SARS-CoV-2 mono- and co-infection in microglia, astrocytes, and pericytes. Our results demonstrated that majority of brain cell types support SARS-CoV-2 replication, in the presence and absence of HIV infection. Furthermore, in both mono- and co-infected cells, there were varying degree of up- and downregulation of SARS-CoV-2 host cell entry factors, such as ACE2, TMPRSS2, NRP1, and TRIM28, and inflammatory cytokines including IL-6, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-1\u03b2. Moreover, conditioned media collected from HIV, SARS-CoV-2, and HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infected astrocytes and pericytes were shown to be neurotoxic. Additionally, proteomic analysis has revealed a unique set of proteins significantly up/down regulated in HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infected astrocytes and pericytes. The gene set enrichment analysis of these proteins indicates dysregulation of lipid, energy, and immune metabolism pathways linked to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These in-vitro findings indicate that astrocytes and pericytes from HIV/SARS-CoV-2 co-infection exhibit altered protein expression profiles, implicating dysregulated signaling pathways associated with neurodegenerative dysfunction.\n\nID: 42552384\nTitle: A reproducible three-dimensional model of human brain tissue to investigate physiological and disease-associated microglia phenotypes.\nAbstract: Stem-cell-based in vitro models offer promising potential to elucidate human brain cell functions and interactions, but limitations in reproducibility, maturation and cell-type diversity persist. Especially, prolonged incorporation of mature microglia and studies of neuroinflammation have proven challenging. Here, we developed a human induced pluripotent stem cell-based three-dimensional cortical brain tissue model (3BTM) containing neurons, astrocytes and microglia with high reproducibility, maturity and viability. 3BTMs show morphological, functional and proteomic maturation of all cell types, leading to high similarity to their in vivo counterparts. Incorporated microglia survive for over 6 months and display mature morphology, functions and gene expression. Importantly, when engineered to model Alzheimer's disease pathology, 3BTMs recapitulate key disease hallmarks, including amyloid deposition, increased phospho-tau levels and neuroinflammation, with microglia shifting their transcriptional landscape to disease-relevant signatures. Treatment of Alzheimer's disease 3BTMs with anti-A\u03b2 immunotherapy cleared deposits and largely reversed disease signatures in glia. Together, our microglia-containing model provides a platform for studying physiological and pathological states of human brain tissue.\n\nID: 42549510\nTitle: Intranasal Administration of Isoeugenol Improves Memory Deficits in APP/PS1 Old Mice-A Role Beyond Nrf2 Activation?\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia, has no cure or effective treatment; thus, identification of disease-modifying therapeutics is crucial. Nrf2 is a master controller of homeostatic functions whose activity is compromised in AD. Most pharmacological Nrf2 activators are electrophilic molecules that covalently modify cysteine residues in the thiol-rich Keap1, and many are Michael acceptors, such as low-molecular-weight (LMW) skin allergens. However, LMW allergens-induced Nrf2 activation in a pharmacological setting has only recently attracted attention, exemplified by the clinical success of Dimethyl Fumarate. Hence, we investigated, for the first time, the potential of the skin allergen Isoeugenol to activate Nrf2 and reverse selected AD hallmarks, both in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo, in AD-specific models. In\u00a0vitro studies were performed using microglia cells exposed to LPS and neuronal cells overexpressing human APP with Swedish mutation, to evaluate Isoeugenol's potential in decreasing neuroinflammation and activating the Nrf2 pathway, respectively. In\u00a0vivo studies were conducted in 10-month-old AD double-transgenic mice (APP/PS1), which were intranasally administered Isougenol. Isoeugenol's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, and its effect on mice cognition were evaluated. The results showed that Isoeugenol (1) activated Nrf2 in AD neuronal cells (likely involving AKT signaling); (2) exhibited antioxidant and Nrf2-dependent anti-inflammatory activity, which was abolished after Nrf2 silencing; (3) exhibited good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles; (4) reduced the levels of A\u03b2 peptides in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo; (5) reduced triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in treated mice; and (6) improved the memory deficits in old mice. This is the first study reporting Isoeugenol's intranasal administration, and on specific AD mice models. Overall, the results reinforce Isoeugenol as a pleiotropic molecule, with great potential for AD treatment.\n\nID: 42541636\nTitle: The Glial Autophagy-Lysosomal-Inflammation Axis in Alzheimer's Disease: a Unifying Mechanistic Framework.\nAbstract: Recent studies suggest that impairment of the glial autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) critically contributes to the sustained neuroinflammatory response and neurodegenerative processes in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Glial cells, comprising microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, serve as key immune regulators in the central nervous system, where they are essential for maintaining ALP homeostasis, promoting proteostasis, and modulating neuroinflammatory responses. Here, we systematically review the regulatory roles of glial ALP in AD pathology, emphasizing its involvement in amyloid accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic impairment, white matter damage, and mitochondrial as well as other organelle dysfunction, and provide an in-depth analysis of key signaling pathways including TFEB, mTOR, and NLRP3. Furthermore, we outline therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring lysosomal function, regulating autophagic flux, and suppressing inflammation, along with a discussion of the multi-target regulatory potential of acupuncture and natural bioactive agents. We also highlight emerging ALP-associated biomarkers and their potential utility in early diagnosis and treatment response assessment. The objective of this review is to uncover the mechanistic interplay between glial ALP dysregulation and the pathological cascade of AD, offering a conceptual framework for the development of novel therapeutics that integrate neuroprotection with immune modulation.\n\nID: 42521030\nTitle: Is amyloid beta peptide a driver of inflammaging?\nAbstract: Inflammaging, the chronic subclinical systemic inflammation accompanying aging, represents a critical pathogenetic mechanism underlying age-related neurodegenerative diseases. While amyloid beta (A\u03b2) peptides are established contributors to neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease, their role in aging-related subclinical inflammation remains insufficiently elucidated. In humans, A\u03b2 exhibits dual functions: it supports neuronal activity, survival, and protection against neurotrauma, while also promoting inflammation and central nervous system dysfunction. This review highlights the beneficial effects of A\u03b2, including its antioxidant and antipathogenic properties, and synthesizes current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms driving A\u03b2-associated inflammaging. We structure this analysis across distinct brain cell types - microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, neurons, pericytes, and endothelial cells - and consider additional factors influencing A\u03b2-related neuroinflammation. Finally, we examine strategies to counteract the detrimental effects of A\u03b2, focusing on A\u03b2 physiological clearance via the blood-brain barrier and glymphatic system, as well as therapeutic interventions. Understanding A\u03b2-driven inflammaging mechanisms offers new therapeutic avenues for early intervention in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in genetically susceptible populations. Targeting A\u03b2-associated inflammaging reframes A\u03b2 not solely as a pathological marker but also as a context-dependent contributor to inflammatory processes during brain aging.\n\nID: 42511827\nTitle: Bovine Milk-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Ameliorate Steatohepatitis by Restoring Gut Barrier in CDA-HFD-Fed Mice.\nAbstract: Gut barrier dysfunction and portal endotoxemia contribute to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) progression through activation of hepatic inflammatory signaling. Milk-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain bioactive microRNAs and have recently attracted attention as modulators of intestinal homeostasis. This study investigated the effect of bovine milk-derived extracellular vesicles (B-mEVs) in ameliorating MASH by improving intestinal barrier function. C57BL/6J mice fed a choline-deficient amino acid-defined high-fat diet (CDA-HFD) were orally treated with B-mEVs, and therapeutic effects were evaluated. Liver histology, fibrosis, portal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels, intestinal permeability, and gut microbiota composition were evaluated. The direct effects of B-mEVs on intestinal barrier function were assessed using palmitic acid-stimulated Caco-2 cells. Small RNA sequencing and microRNA enrichment analyses were performed to characterize B-mEV cargo. B-mEV treatment attenuated hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in CDA-HFD-fed mice and reduced serum aminotransferase levels, portal LPS concentrations, hepatic macrophage accumulation, and hepatic TLR4/NF-\u03baB signaling activation. Meanwhile, B-mEVs restored intestinal tight junction proteins, including ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1, and improved intestinal permeability in vivo. In Caco-2 cells, B-mEVs attenuated palmitic acid-induced barrier dysfunction and suppressed myosin light chain kinase expression. Gut microbiota analysis revealed partial restoration of Akkermansia abundance after B-mEV administration. Furthermore, to explore the molecular basis of these protective effects, small RNA sequencing demonstrated enrichment of regulatory microRNAs, including let-7a-5p, and pathway analyses identified associations with intestinal barrier and inflammatory signaling pathways. B-mEVs ameliorated CDA-HFD-induced steatohepatitis by restoring intestinal barrier integrity and suppressing gut-derived LPS/TLR4 inflammatory signaling. These findings suggested that milk EVs may represent a novel gut-liver axis-targeted therapeutic strategy for MASH.\n\nID: 42510655\nTitle: From Inflammatory RNAs to Therapeutic Silencing: Deciphering the RNA-Inflammation Axis in Cancer and Neurodegeneration.\nAbstract: Inflammation is a critical protective response that maintains tissue homeostasis. However, persistent or dysregulated inflammation contributes significantly to the progression of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advances in RNA biology have identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, as key modulators of inflammatory signaling networks. These RNA molecules regulate key pathways such as NF-\u03baB, STAT3, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT, thereby influencing immune responses, tumor progression, neuronal survival, and cellular stress adaptation. In parallel, RNA-sensing receptors, including Toll-like receptors and RIG-I-like receptors, connect innate immune activation with chronic inflammatory pathology. Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes. In cancer, RNA-mediated feedback loops sustain tumor-promoting inflammation, metastasis, and immune evasion, whereas in neurodegenerative disorders, they contribute to glial activation, neuronal dysfunction, and progressive neuroinflammation. This review examines the mechanistic relationship between RNA dysregulation and inflammation across cancer and neurodegeneration, with particular emphasis on RNA signaling networks, exosomal communication, and targeted RNA-based therapeutics. Collectively, advances in understanding the RNA-inflammation axis may reveal new opportunities for precision diagnostics and next generation therapeutic interventions.\n\nID: 42505400\nTitle: Microglia in Alzheimer's Disease: From Homeostatic Guardians to Multifaceted Drivers of Neuropathology.\nAbstract: Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects >55 million people worldwide and lacks disease-modifying therapies. Microglia, the CNS resident immune cells, dynamically transition between protective and pathological states during AD progression. Recent advances in single-cell sequencing and metabolomics reveal that microglial roles extend beyond simple M1/M2 polarization. This review synthesizes these advances into a framework integrating microglial plasticity, metabolic reprogramming, and intercellular communication in AD. Methods: We reviewed recent (2020-2026) studies on microglial biology in AD, focusing on DAM (disease-associated microglia) ontogeny, metabolic reprogramming, immune checkpoints, and glial crosstalk. Results: Microglia exhibit spatiotemporal heterogeneity, shifting from protective phagocytic phenotypes (M2, DAM1/2) in early AD to pro-inflammatory and exhausted states (M1, terminal inflammatory microglia [TIM], lipid droplet-accumulating microglia [LDAM]) as pathology advances. Key pathways-TREM2/SYK phagocytosis, Piezo1 mechanotransduction, TAM (Tyro3, Axl, Mer) receptor signaling, and metabolic regulators (HK2, iron, APOE4-driven lipid metabolism)-orchestrate these transitions. Microglia also interact with astrocytes, T cells, and peripheral immune cells via IL-3, complement C3, MHC-I and MHC-II, forming glial-immune networks that modulate A\u03b2 clearance, tau propagation, and synaptic integrity. Conclusions: Precisely targeting microglial functional states, rather than broad immunosuppression, is a promising disease-modifying strategy for AD. Future therapies should integrate metabolic reprogramming, glial network regulation, and immune checkpoint modulation to preserve protective microglial phenotypes in early AD while suppressing pathological activation and exhaustion in advanced disease.\n\nID: 42501950\nTitle: Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome in Alzheimer's disease: Mechanistic insights and therapeutic advances.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, yet current therapies provide limited clinical benefit. Neuroinflammation, as an early and sustained driver of AD, places the NLRP3 inflammasome at the center of pathological and therapeutic focus. In this review, we synthesize recent advances in the structure, assembly, and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and evaluate its contribution to AD using evidence from human brain tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, and diverse AD animal models. Available data consistently support aberrant NLRP3 activation in AD brain, where it is closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition, tau pathology, glial reactivity, and cognitive decline. We further discuss the cell-type-specific roles of microglia and astrocytes, highlighting microglia as the principal effector cells in inflammasome-associated pathology. Mechanistically, A\u03b2 and tau converge on NLRP3 activation through interconnected pathways involving K+ efflux, lysosomal rupture, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired autophagy. Downstream IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, and gasdermin D amplify neuroinflammation and neuronal injury. We summarize emerging therapeutic strategies directly targeting its core components or downstream effectors, as well as anti-AD agents with indirect NLRP3 modulation including endogenous molecules, repurposed drugs, and natural products. Collectively, this review regards NLRP3 inflammasome as a critical inflammatory hub and a promising target for disease-modifying therapy in AD, and provide useful perspectives on AD pathogenesis and inform the development of more rational therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 42500646\nTitle: Association between Alzheimer's disease and MHC-I antigen processing and presentation pathway: a narrative review.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide and remains a major public health burden. Although amyloid-beta deposition and tau pathology are the defining pathological features of AD, increasing evidence indicates that immune dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation also contribute to disease onset and progression. However, the specific immune pathways involved in AD and their mechanistic relevance remain incompletely understood. The major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) antigen processing and presentation pathway has attracted growing attention because of its classical role in adaptive immunity and its potential functions within the central nervous system. In this narrative review, we summarize current evidence linking AD to the MHC-I, or human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I), pathway from genetic, molecular, cellular, and immunological perspectives. Available studies implicate the broader HLA region in AD susceptibility and suggest that alterations in HLA-I-related loci, antigen-processing machinery, MHC-I-associated molecules, and downstream immune responses may contribute to disease heterogeneity. At the molecular and cellular levels, changes in MHC-I molecules, antigen-processing machinery, and associated signaling pathways have been reported in microglia, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglial lineage cells. In parallel, changes involving \u03b22-microglobulin and the presence of expanded or cytotoxic like CD8+ T cells suggest that adaptive immune mechanisms may participate in AD pathology. Nevertheless, direct evidence demonstrating immune responses specific to particular antigens and restricted by HLA-I in human AD remains limited. Overall, current findings indicate that the MHC-I/HLA-I pathway may represent an important component of AD pathophysiology and contribute to disease progression by influencing immune homeostasis and cellular interactions within the central nervous system. Further studies integrating human tissue analysis, immunopeptidomics, spatial profiling, and paired T cell receptor approaches are needed to clarify its mechanistic, biomarker, and therapeutic significance.\n\nID: 42498931\nTitle: Mild Subcortical Stroke Induces Widespread Chronic Reactive Astrogliosis That Is Largely Unaffected by Microglia and Age.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke induces a plethora of pathophysiological changes, including neuroinflammation and chronic cerebrovascular dysfunction. In humans, even small, silent strokes can trigger these pathologies, which can spread to brain regions far beyond the infarct and persist chronically, ultimately worsening prognosis and increasing the risk for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The cause of this pathology is unknown, but reactive astrocytes and microglia are likely contributors. Here, we describe an optimized short-duration middle cerebral artery occlusion model that produces a clinically relevant small stroke mostly confined to subcortical regions, similar to many silent strokes in humans. We termed this model the mild subcortical infarct (MSCI). We then mapped the spatiotemporal extent of reactive astrocytes and microglia during the sub-acute period (1, 3, and 7\u2009days) following MSCI. We observed that reactive astrogliosis develops more rapidly and spreads more extensively, compared to the reactive microglia response following this small infarct. Microglial depletion resulted in larger infarct sizes but did not prevent reactive astrocytes. Aging mice exposed to MSCI exhibited a comparably strong response of reactive astrocytes and microglia as young mice. Lastly, reactive astrocytes persisted for at least nine months after MSCI. We propose that this mild ischemia model is valuable for examining the chronic effects of subcortical stroke. It may be especially useful for investigating the functional impact of reactive astrogliosis in regions distal from the primary injury site.\n\nID: 42496006\nTitle: APP/A\u03b2 Signaling Orchestrates Reactive Astrocyte Networks in Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) accumulation, neurofibrillary pathology, synaptic dysfunction, and chronic neuroinflammation, yet the mechanisms driving early, localized pathology remain elusive. While traditionally viewed through a neuron-centric lens, astrocytes express abundant amyloid precursor protein (APP)-predominantly Kunitz-type protease inhibitor (KPI)-containing isoforms-and possess the complete enzymatic machinery for APP processing and A\u03b2 clearance. Astrocytic APP is a stress-responsive signaling molecule regulated by inflammatory, metabolic, excitotoxic, and mechanical insults. Under local tissue stress, reactive astrocytes upregulate APP and shift toward amyloidogenic processing. The resulting bioactive fragments, including A\u03b2, promote astrocyte activation, disrupt homeostatic functions, and trigger feed-forward upregulation of endogenous APP. We propose that this reciprocal coupling establishes a self-reinforcing network where APP integrates local stress and diffusible A\u03b2 propagates reactive states across the astroglial syncytium. This framework positions astrocytic APP signaling as an upstream driver of localized amyloid accumulation, neuroinflammation, and sporadic AD progression.\n\nID: 42489215\nTitle: Prolonged systemic inflammation worsens impairments to astrocyte Ca2+ and functional hyperemia in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Chronic neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) alters astrocyte physiology and neurovascular unit function. AD patients frequently experience recurrent systemic inflammatory insults from comorbid conditions, which act as\u00a0\"secondary-hits\" believed to worsen cognitive decline. The impact of these secondary insults \u00a0on astrocyte-mediated neurovascular regulation remains unknown. We applied intravital two-photon microscopy to longitudinally investigate astrocytic Ca2 + dynamics and functional hyperemia during sensory stimulation in APP/PS1dE9 mice before and during secondary lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation. AD mice exhibited diminished stimulation-evoked astrocytic Ca2 + activity, while functional hyperemia remained largely preserved. LPS further suppressed astrocytic Ca2 + responses and produced temporally specific vascular alterations, with AD and wild-type mice following divergent inflammatory trajectories. Our findings provide the first in vivo longitudinal characterization of how secondary systemic inflammation disrupts astrocyte-mediated neurovascular regulation. The selective vulnerability of astrocytic Ca2 + signaling relative to vascular output implicates recurrent inflammatory insults as a clinically relevant contributor to neurovascular dysfunction in preclinical AD.\n\nID: 42489128\nTitle: Photobiomodulation of immune crosstalk rescues neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease models.\nAbstract: Peripheral immune cell infiltration and crosstalk with brain-resident cells critically drive Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated neuroinflammation, highlighting its therapeutic potential. Here, we found that photobiomodulation (PBM) markedly reduced cerebral CD8+ T cells infiltration in the cortex of AD (APP/PS1 and 3\u00d7Tg) mice, thereby improving cognition, and alleviating AD-related pathology by mitigating neuronal damage and gliosis. Immunofluorescence and transcriptomic analyses revealed that PBM inhibited the release of chemokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines from microglia, reducing endothelial adhesion molecules-mediated T cell migration. Concurrently, reduced secretion of tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1, interleukin-1\u03b1, and complement component 1q by pro-inflammatory microglia further diminished neurotoxic A1 astrocyte induction. Genetic overexpression or pharmacological inhibition further validated that PBM disrupted microglia NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasomes activation, attenuating astrocyte reactivity and T cells recruitment. These findings collectively suggest that the PBM-induced modulation of crosstalk between microglia, astrocytes, and CD8+ T cells is closely related to cognitive improvement. Reprogramming central-peripheral immune crosstalk with PBM resolves neuroinflammation and restores cognition in AD models-a translatable strategy for combating neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42488534\nTitle: Long non-coding RNAs as molecular hubs integrating inflammatory and osteogenic pathways in calcific aortic valve disease.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Among valvular pathologies, CAVD is the most prevalent and poses a growing burden on the aging population. Once considered a passive degenerative process, aortic stenosis (AS) is now understood to be an actively regulated disease characterized by progressive leaflet fibrosis, calcification, and inflammation, ultimately leading to left ventricular outflow obstruction and heart failure. Current treatment options are limited to surgical or transcatheter valve replacement, as no pharmacological therapies exist to halt or reverse disease progression. This review frames the discussion around the potential of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as therapeutic targets, rather than implying established therapies. Through the advancement of genetic manipulation techniques and their application in cardiovascular biology, non-coding RNAs have emerged as dynamic regulators of disease pathogenesis. While initial focus centered on microRNAs, recent evidence highlights lncRNAs as critical modulators of gene expression governing valvular interstitial cell (VIC) biology. LncRNAs influence key pathological processes in AS, including osteogenic differentiation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and inflammatory signaling. Furthermore, circulating lncRNAs, either freely circulating or encapsulated within extracellular vesicles, are emerging as novel mediators of intercellular communication within the valve microenvironment and represent promising candidates for diagnostic and prognostic applications, offering the potential for a liquid biopsy approach in AS management. Despite significant advancements in our understanding of non-coding RNA biology, the functional roles of specific lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of aortic stenosis remain largely unexplored. However, emerging evidence from related inflammatory pathways (e.g., NF-\u03baB, MAPK, and JAK/STAT) and other cardiovascular diseases provides a rational basis for investigating the therapeutic potential of lncRNAs in AS, without overstating current knowledge. Elucidating the precise mechanisms by which lncRNAs regulate VIC fate and valvular calcification is crucial for the development of effective targeted interventions aimed at slowing or preventing disease progression and reducing the clinical burden of AS. Key unanswered questions remain: What is the specific lncRNA signature of CAVD? How do individual lncRNAs functionally contribute to disease progression? And how can the delivery and targeting challenges associated with lncRNA-based therapeutics be overcome? This review provides a comprehensive landscape of the current developmental progression of RNA therapeutics, with a specific focus on lncRNA-based strategies as a holistic approach for treating CAVD in preclinical models. Addressing these research priorities will be essential for translating lncRNA-based strategies into clinical applications for this increasingly prevalent disease.\n\nID: 42482934\nTitle: Odoribacter splanchnicus elicits lung protection via vesicle-driven enhancement of the host Cav1-Ces1d interaction.\nAbstract: Dysregulated inflammation and barrier dysfunction are central features of acute lung injury (ALI). Mounting evidence underscores the gut-lung axis as a critical pathway in pulmonary inflammation, yet how specific commensal bacteria confer distal organ protection remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the gut commensal Odoribacter splanchnicus elicits marked protection against lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice, primarily through its extracellular vesicles (O-EVs). Depletion of O. splanchnicus exacerbated pulmonary damage and inflammatory cytokine release, whereas restoration of its abundance or administration of purified O-EVs significantly attenuated lung injury. Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses identified caveolin (Cav1) and carboxylesterase 1d (Ces1d) as critical host targets of O-EVs. We found that O-EVs were associated with enhanced Cav1-Ces1d interaction, which correlated with suppressed activation of NF-\u03baB and STAT3 signaling and decreased levels of downstream pro-inflammatory mediators (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, iNOS, SOCS3). Concurrently, O-EVs reduced leukotriene B4 (LTB4) production, indicating restraint of Ces1d-associated lipid inflammatory pathways. Lipidomic profiling revealed that O-EVs are enriched in bacterial sphingolipids and anionic phospholipids with immunomodulatory potential. Collectively, these data indicate that the gut bacterium O. splanchnicus acts as a key regulator of gut-lung axis communication, mediating anti-inflammatory protection in acute lung injury through vesicle-dependent modulation of inflammatory signaling, lipid mediators, and immune responses.\n\nID: 42479486\nTitle: Proinflammatory signaling in Ewing sarcoma is driven by retroelement activity and counteracted by reverse transcriptase inhibitors.\nAbstract: Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is a childhood malignancy driven by oncogenic fusion proteins, most commonly EWS::FLI1, and is characterized by paradoxical co-occurrence of inflammation and immunosuppression. Our study shows that LINE, SINE, and LTR/HERV endogenous retroviral elements (EREs) may drive local and systemic inflammation in EwS, and their expression is linked to EWS::FLI1. EREs are not only highly expressed in EwS tumor cells but also disseminated in extracellular vesicles (EVs), selectively targeting blood monocytes and stromal cells and inducing inflammatory responses and immunosuppressive phenotypes. We also demonstrate that some EREs, particularly LINE-1 and HERV-K, retain the ability to encode proteins and to reverse transcribe, coincident with the activation of cGAS-IFN-I, STAT3, and NF-\u03baB antiviral and proinflammatory programs in tumor cells and target monocytes. Treatment with reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors abacavir (ABC) and lamivudine (3TC) reduced RT activity, inflammatory signaling, and cytokine release, suggesting a potential strategy for overcoming systemic inflammation and immunosuppression in EwS.\n\nID: 42469846\nTitle: Metabolic reprogramming via SIRT2-deficient microglial large extracellular vesicles ameliorates alzheimer's pathology.\nAbstract: Current therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) offer only symptomatic relief, highlighting the urgent need for disease-modifying approaches capable of halting or reversing neurodegeneration. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted growing interest as therapeutic vehicles owing to their inherent capacity to bypass the blood-brain barrier and deliver complex biological cargo to the central nervous system. Here, we examined whether large EVs (LEVs) derived from microglia with stable Sirtuin-2 knockdown (SIRT2-KD) confer the neuroprotective effects associated with SIRT2 inhibition. LEVs harvested from SIRT2-KD microglia were administered intranasally to APP/PS1 mice. We assessed microglial uptake of LEVs, along with subsequent changes in cellular metabolism, migration toward amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) plaques, phagocytic activity, and downstream pathological and behavioral outcomes. Proteomic and acetylomic profiling were employed to characterize the molecular cargo of LEVs-SIRT2-KD. LEVs-SIRT2-KD were readily internalized by microglia in vivo following intranasal delivery. Uptake of these vesicles markedly enhanced microglial bioenergetics, driving coordinated upregulation of both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. This metabolic shift was accompanied by improved microglial recruitment to A\u03b2 plaques and increased phagocytic clearance. Consequently, treated mice showed reduced A\u03b2 plaque deposition, restored synaptic integrity, and reversal of cognitive deficits. Proteomic and acetylomic analyses revealed that LEVs-SIRT2-KD are selectively enriched in proteins and acetylation modifications linked to energy metabolism and phagocytic function, offering a mechanistic basis for the observed metabolic reprogramming. Together, these results identify LEVs as a critical vesicle subtype mediating the effects of SIRT2 knockdown and support a cell-free therapeutic strategy for AD centered on EVs-driven metabolic reprogramming of microglia.\n\nID: 42469634\nTitle: Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) attenuates TLR4/NF-\u03baB-mediated neuroinflammation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a candidate molecule associated with neuro-pathology.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder driven by neuroinflammation involving activated microglia and astrocytes, which accelerates the loss of motor neurons. While Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) is known for its immunomodulatory properties, its specific role in ALS pathogenesis has not been fully established. This study aimed to characterize the expression patterns and functional significance of SLPI in ALS models. The study utilized SOD1G93A mice to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of SLPI expression in the gastrocnemius muscle, lumbar spinal cord, and serum across different disease stages. In vitro functional assays were conducted using siRNA-mediated knockdown of SLPI in BV2 (microglia), MA (astrocytes), and NSC-34 (motor neurons) cell lines. Additionally, recombinant SLPI protein was applied to LPS-stimulated BV2 cells to investigate its effect on the TLR4/ NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. In SOD1G93A mice, SLPI was significantly upregulated in the gastrocnemius muscle from the pre-symptomatic stage (60 days) through the late stage (130 days). In the lumbar spinal cord, SLPI showed a transient initial increase but declined sharply by the end-stage; a similar significant reduction was observed in late-stage serum levels. In vitro, SLPI knockdown exacerbated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in all three cell types and impaired the antioxidant capacity of NSC-34 motor neurons. Mechanistically, recombinant SLPI attenuated inflammation in BV2 cells by modulating the TLR4/NF-\u03baB pathway. The dynamic changes in SLPI levels suggest its potential relevance as a candidate molecule for disease staging. Meanwhile, its protective effects in regulating inflammation suggest that it could be a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating ALS-associated neuroinflammation.\n\nID: 42467009\nTitle: Microalgae-based living biomaterials for immunoengineering: from biological functions to therapeutic systems.\nAbstract: The immune system plays a central role in maintaining physiological homeostasis and protecting against infections, cancer, and inflammatory diseases. Immunoengineering, broadly defined as the strategic design and manipulation of immune responses, has emerged as an interdisciplinary field integrating immunology, materials science, and biomedical engineering, enabling substantial advances in the precise modulation of immune function. However, conventional immunomodulatory materials-such as synthetic polymers, nanoparticles, and biologically derived matrices-generally function as passive platforms, with limited capacity to dynamically adapt to complex and evolving pathological microenvironments. To address these limitations, living biomaterials have emerged as a transformative paradigm. Among them, microalgae represent a particularly promising and versatile platform, owing to their intrinsic photosynthetic oxygen-generating capability, diverse production of bioactive metabolites, favorable biocompatibility, scalability, and amenability to genetic engineering. Microalgae can alleviate hypoxia, modulate inflammatory signaling pathways, and produce antioxidant and anti-inflammatory metabolites as well as extracellular vesicles, thereby enabling cross-kingdom communication with host systems. Recent advances have further demonstrated their integration with polymers, nanomaterials, and microbial systems to construct multifunctional biohybrid platforms for active and adaptive immune modulation. Despite rapid progress, the field remains fragmented, and a systematic framework for translating microalgae-based living biomaterials into immunomodulatory therapies is still lacking. This review provides a comprehensive overview of microalgae-derived living biomaterials for immunoengineering, including their fundamental biological characteristics and mechanisms of immune regulation, key engineering strategies (such as encapsulation, biohybridization, and genetic engineering), and emerging therapeutic applications. In addition, current challenges and future perspectives for clinical translation are critically discussed.\n\nID: 42465880\nTitle: Maternal Extracellular Vesicles During Pregnancy and Autism Risk in Children.\nAbstract: Differences in extracellular vesicles (EVs), bioactive nanoparticles involved in intercellular signaling, have been reported in those with autism. However, little is known about the association between maternal EVs during pregnancy and the likelihood of autism in offspring. This study evaluated the association of the concentration and cargo material of EVs in prenatal maternal plasma with childhood autism likelihood. Participants in the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study provided maternal plasma at 15-23 weeks' gestational age. EVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation, and concentration, mean size, CD63 levels, and RNA cargo were assessed by nanoparticle tracking analysis, ELISA, and small RNA sequencing. At 4.5-6 years of age, parents completed the Social Communication Questionnaire. Thirty-one children at high-risk for autism were matched to 31 low-risk children on sex, age, and gestational age. Differential RNA transcript analysis and over representation analysis were performed. There were no group differences in CD63 levels, mean particle size, or EV concentration (p>0.1). Nominal bin-level differences were observed at 280-290 nm and 430-440 nm before multiple-comparison correction. One hundred forty-five RNAs, including protein-coding RNAs, piRNAs, lncRNAs, miRNAs, snoRNAs, snRNAs, and tRNAs, were differentially contained, most of them downregulated in those at high risk of autism. These RNAs mapped to pathways involved in immune/inflammatory signaling, intracellular trafficking, protein turnover, and neurodevelopment. Six of the 62 (9.7%) differentially contained protein-coding RNAs overlapped with genes in the SFARI Gene database. Large studies involving individuals diagnosed with autism are needed to evaluate the role of prenatal EVs in the pathogenesis of the condition. Additionally, prenatal sampling of EVs across multiple timepoints and subsequent deconvolution to determine the source of the EVs will strengthen interpretability and veracity of our findings. These findings provide preliminary evidence that maternal prenatal EV RNA cargo is associated with childhood autism likelihood.\n\nID: 42465741\nTitle: Exercise-conditioned extracellular vesicles in Alzheimer's disease: a multi-organ signaling network linking peripheral adaptation to brain pathology.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder in which amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, tau pathology, chronic neuroinflammation, cerebrovascular impairment, and synaptic dysfunction act as interconnected rather than independent processes. Physical exercise is protective against several of these features, but how its peripheral effects produce coordinated changes in the brain remains only partly defined. Soluble exerkines explain part of this benefit, but they act individually, do not protect labile cargo such as RNA, and carry little information about their cell of origin. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer a complementary mechanism. By packaging diverse cargo within a membrane, they co-deliver several signals at once, protect labile cargo in transit, and carry a profile that partly reflects the state and origin of the releasing cell. In this review, we develop a multi-organ signaling framework in which exercise-conditioned EVs link peripheral exercise adaptation to AD-related brain pathology. We examine how exercise reshapes EV biogenesis, the circulating EV pool, and EV engagement with the neurovascular interface. We then map how exercise-conditioned EVs intersect with amyloid aggregation and clearance, tau propagation, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and synaptic and neurogenic resilience, and which tissues contribute to the exercise-responsive EV pool. Several bottlenecks keep the field at the level of association rather than causation, including cargo heterogeneity, uncertain tissue-of-origin attribution, and the gap between describing cargo and demonstrating its function. This framework outlines a realistic, staged route from current associative evidence toward clinical application, in which exercise-conditioned EVs serve first as biomarkers of exercise responsiveness and later as engineered therapeutic platforms for AD.\n\nID: 42461334\nTitle: Oral Microbial Extracellular Vesicles as Novel Mediators of Alzheimer's Pathogenesis: A Critical Review of the Periodontal-Brain Axis.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder whose origins extend beyond the brain. Chronic periodontitis has emerged as a modifiable risk factor, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been proposed as important mediators of the periodontal-brain axis. Periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) release bacterial EVs enriched with virulence factors including gingipains, lipopolysaccharide, and regulatory RNAs. These vesicles can enter systemic circulation, interact with the blood-brain barrier, activate microglia, and trigger inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and NLRP3. These processes contribute to neuroinflammation, amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, and tau hyperphosphorylation, hallmarks of AD pathology. Host-derived EVs further contribute to this complex signaling network by facilitating intercellular communication and potentially propagating pathogenic proteins while also carrying protective molecules. Preclinical studies suggest that periodontal-derived vesicles can reach the hippocampus and impair cognition, while clinical studies have detected P. gingivalis DNA and gingipains in AD brain tissues. EV-associated biomarkers in blood or cerebrospinal fluid and engineered therapeutic vesicles represent promising tools for early diagnosis and intervention. Targeting oral microbial EVs may therefore offer novel avenues for AD prevention and therapy.\n\nID: 42454195\nTitle: Stem cell extracellular vesicles for neuropsychiatric disorders and translation.\nAbstract: Neuropsychiatric disorders represent a major global health challenge due to their high prevalence, chronic disability, and substantial socioeconomic burden. Although stem cell-based therapies offer regenerative potential, their clinical application is limited by poor post-transplantation survival, restricted targeted integration, and potential tumorigenicity. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (SC-EVs), particularly exosomes, have emerged as a promising cell-free therapeutic approach. These vesicles can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exhibit high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. This review summarizes the cellular origins and biogenesis of SC-EVs and evaluates current preclinical and clinical evidence supporting their therapeutic potential. Particular attention is given to acute ischemic stroke and progressive neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In addition, the molecular mechanisms underlying their neuroprotective and regenerative effects are discussed, with a focus on modulating neuroinflammation, promoting neurogenesis, and enhancing synaptic plasticity. Finally, key advances and major challenges in the clinical translation of SC-EVs are outlined. Integrating current evidence, this review provides a framework and practical perspective for the continued development of SC-EV-based therapies for complex neurological disorders.\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: 42612874\nTitle: Nose-to-brain delivery of a novel boronated curcuminoid via cyclodextrins: Biodistribution toward potential BNCT applications in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: This study investigates the selective accumulation of a boronated monocarbonyl curcuminoid (BMAC-9) complexed with \u03b2-cyclodextrins in the amyloid-rich brain regions of APP/PS1dE9 transgenic mice, an established model of Alzheimer's disease, compared to C57BL/6 healthy mice. The goal is to develop and evaluate a novel delivery system for the boronated curcuminoid BMAC-9 and to determine whether the resulting boron concentrations in the brain, particularly in the cortex and hippocampus, which are typically enriched in amyloid plaques in patients with Alzheimer's disease, could reach levels potentially suitable for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Physicochemical characterization displayed that BMAC-9 has a logD of 3.45 at both physiological (7.4) and nasal (5.5) pH, suggesting good membrane permeability but poor aqueous solubility. To optimize delivery and facilitate blood-brain barrier (BBB) crossing, inclusion complexes were formulated using hydroxypropyl-\u03b2-cyclodextrin (HP-\u03b2-CD) and a cationic cyclodextrin polymer (TMA-poly-\u03b2-CD). These systems, exhibiting stability constants in the 103-105\u202fM-1 range, significantly enhanced drug solubility. In vitro assays on SH-SY5Y cells demonstrated low cytotoxicity at short incubation times confirming that drug release and cellular uptake depend on CD binding affinity. In vivo biodistribution analysis through boron quantification by ICP-MS in C57BL/6 mice exhibit that intranasal administration achieves effective brain targeting while reducing systemic exposure compared to the intravenous one. Interestingly, the BMAC-9/HP-\u03b2-CD complex showed selective accumulation in A\u03b2 plaque-rich brain areas only in APP/PS1dE9 transgenic mice. This selectivity is crucial for BNCT efficacy and offers a promising solution to the persistent challenge of targeted drug delivery in neurodegenerative diseases.\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: 42604096\nTitle: Evaluating inclusion of continuous multivariable cognitive scores for operational enrichment of preclinical Alzheimer's disease trials: a retrospective emulation study.\nAbstract: Prevention trials for Alzheimer's Disease face significant challenges due to the slow and uncertain rate of cognitive decline in asymptomatic, amyloid-positive individuals. Biomarker positivity alone does not guarantee clinically meaningful progression, often leaving studies underpowered. Evaluate model-based operational trial enrichment within an amyloid-positive, cognitively normal subgroup. Trained on a small cohort from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (N = 113), with external validation using baseline data of a similar small cohort from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (N = 161). Gradient-boosted decision trees estimated progression risk and projected power under alternative enrollment strategies. Predictors included neuropsychological scores, demographics, medical history, and ApoE \u03b54 genotype. The primary outcome was clinical progression to cognitive impairment within 1- and 3-year follow-up windows. In the independent testing set, the model successfully increased the effective prevalence of the outcome. The Positive Predictive Value for the 1-year window was 0.27 (a 35% relative increase over the 0.20 baseline prevalence) and 0.43 for the 3-year window (a 23% relative increase over the 0.35 baseline). Power simulations for an emulated trial (N = 500) demonstrated that this enrichment strategy consistently increased statistical power, potentially reducing the required sample size to achieve 80% power by up to 32% for small treatment effect sizes. This operational methodology functions as a screening filter to optimize event rates within a highly specific, preselected trial population.\n\nID: 42603521\nTitle: Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (HEBHMUi019-A) from a 67-year-old male Alzheimer's patient with APOE-\u03b54/\u03b54 genotype.\nAbstract: Apolipoprotein E (apoE), encoded by the polymorphic APOE gene, plays a key role in lipid transport and metabolism. The three major APOE alleles are \u03b52, \u03b53, and \u03b54, with \u03b54 being the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. We generated human induced pluripotent stem cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a 67-year-old male patient with Alzheimer's disease carrying the APOE \u03b54/\u03b54 genotype. The generated cell line displayed typical iPSC morphology, a normal karyotype, trilineage differentiation potential, and pluripotency-marker expression, providing a resource for investigating APOE \u03b54-associated disease mechanisms and preclinical therapeutic screening.\n\nID: 42601919\nTitle: Amyloid-\u03b2 modulates APOE \u03b54 effects on cognition but not on targeted structural or functional connectivity measures over 2\u202fyears in pre-dementia adults.\nAbstract: The apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet emerging evidence suggests its cognitive effects may be age- and pathology-dependent. Whether and how amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) pathology modifies the longitudinal cognitive trajectory associated with APOE \u03b54 in the pre-dementia stage remains unclear. We conducted a 2-year longitudinal study in 70 pre-dementia adults from the Alzheimer's disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), assessing APOE genotype, A\u03b2 status via positron emission tomography (PET), multi-domain cognition, structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumes, and resting-state functional connectivity of a predefined hippocampus-auditory network. Linear mixed-effects models evaluated the three-way interaction of time, APOE \u03b54 carrier status, and A\u03b2 status on longitudinal trajectories. Sensitivity and exploratory mediation analyses were performed. A significant three-way interaction (Time \u00d7 APOE \u03b54\u202f\u00d7\u202fA\u03b2 status) was observed for global cognitive decline (ADAS13: \u03b2\u202f=\u202f-4.54, p\u202f=\u202f0.001, P_FDR\u202f=\u202f0.003), indicating that A\u03b2 pathology moderates the effect of APOE \u03b54 on cognitive trajectories. Post-hoc analyses revealed that among A\u03b2-positive individuals, APOE \u03b54 carriers exhibited a slower rate of cognitive decline compared to non-carriers, whereas no such difference was evident in A\u03b2-negative individuals. This moderating effect was robust to sensitivity analyses and was consistently observed across multiple cognitive domains (MMSE, CDRSB, FAQ, MoCA; all P_FDR\u202f<\u202f0.01). However, no significant three-way interactions survived multiple comparison correction for regional brain volumes or hippocampus-auditory functional connectivity, though nominally significant trends were observed in middle temporal gyrus volume and specific temporal lobe connections. Longitudinal hippocampal atrophy did not mediate the observed association. A\u03b2 pathology modifies the longitudinal cognitive trajectory associated with APOE \u03b54 in pre-dementia adults over a 2-year period. While consistent with the antagonistic pleiotropy framework, this observation requires independent replication, and alternative explanations including cognitive reserve and survivor bias warrant careful consideration.\n\nID: 42600992\nTitle: Intranasal insulin reduces ADHD-like behaviors and neurodevelopmental deficits following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia in juvenile rats.\nAbstract: Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a leading cause of long-term neurodevelopmental impairment and is increasingly associated with a heightened risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and related behavioral abnormalities. Beyond its metabolic role, insulin functions as a neurotrophic and immunomodulatory factor in the developing brain. However, whether early enhancement of central insulin signaling can mitigate the neuroinflammatory and behavioral sequelae of HI remains unclear. Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to HI (right common carotid artery ligation followed by 90\u202fmin of 8% oxygen) at P10 and randomized to Sham\u00a0+\u00a0Vehicle, Sham\u00a0+\u00a0Insulin, HI\u00a0+\u00a0Vehicle, or HI\u00a0+\u00a0Insulin groups (n\u00a0=\u00a012 males and 12 females/group). Recombinant human insulin (rhInsulin) (50\u202f\u03bcg/day) was administered intranasally once daily from P10 to P12, and behavioral and histological outcomes were assessed at P21-P25. Neonatal HI produced persistent ADHD-like behavioral abnormalities and deficits in neurobiological outcomes. Notably, sex-specific responses were observed: males exhibited greater deficits in inattention, spatial working memory, impulsivity, adaptive social development, myelination and vascularization, whereas females showed more pronounced increases in repetitive and compulsive-like behaviors. Intranasal rhInsulin treatment significantly attenuated HI-induced behavioral deficits by 100% and increased myelination (MBP+) by 64% in cingulate white matter, restored dendritic expression (MAP2+) by 56%, and reduced astrocytes (GFAP+) by 70% in hippocampal regions, indicating suppression of chronic astrogliosis neuroinflammation. Furthermore, intranasal rhInsulin increased cerebral vascular volume by 49% and normalized vessel diameters as assessed by micro-computed tomography (microCT) imaging, suggesting enhanced neurovascular integrity. While our previous study demonstrated that intranasal rhInsulin attenuated acute brain injury, neuronal apoptosis, and short-term sensorimotor deficits following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI), its effects on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes remained unclear. The present study addresses this important knowledge gap by evaluating juvenile behavioral and neurobiological outcomes through P25, including ADHD-like behaviors, social deficits, repetitive behaviors, white matter integrity, astrogliosis, cerebrovascular development, and sex-specific treatment responses. Collectively, these findings identify central insulin signaling as a key regulator of post-HI neuroimmune and neurodevelopmental trajectories and support intranasal insulin as a promising, minimally invasive therapeutic approach to reduce the long-term neurobehavioral sequelae of neonatal brain injury.\n\nID: 42599695\nTitle: The case for FDG-PET and NaF-PET in risk stratification of mild cognitive impairment.\nAbstract: According to a recent study, integrating amyloid-PET, structural MRI, carotid Doppler ultrasound, cognitive testing, and APOE genotyping improves estimation of dementia progression in patients with mild cognitive impairment, with carotid plaque burden emerging as a dominant predictor in amyloid-\u03b2-negative cases. We agree that vascular pathology is crucial but suggest that future models consider supplementing amyloid-PET with FDG-PET, a well-validated functional marker of neuronal injury, and carotid Doppler with 18F-sodium fluoride (NaF)-PET which can detect and quantify early, active microcalcification. This could further improve risk stratification while facilitating detection of potentially modifiable disease processes.\n\nID: 42599691\nTitle: Cerebrospinal fluid glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor levels interact with APOE \u03b54 genotype to influence cognitive decline in older adults without dementia.\nAbstract: BackgroundAlthough both apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) are implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), it remains unclear whether they interact to affect cognitive decline among older adults without dementia.ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the interactive effects of APOE \u03b54 and GDNF on longitudinal cognitive decline.MethodsA total of 543 individuals (mean age 73 [\u00b17] years; 43% female) with cognitively unimpaired (CU) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were included from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Linear mixed-effects models were used to examine the contributions of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) GDNF levels and APOE \u03b54 status to longitudinal changes in cognitive measures, including the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), the 13-item Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog-13), and the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) total score.ResultsWe found that the 3-way interaction (APOE \u03b54\u2009\u00d7\u2009GDNF \u00d7 time) was significant for MMSE, CDR-SB, and ADAS-Cog-13, and of marginal significance for RAVLT total score, after adjusting for age, sex, and education. Specifically, individuals who were APOE \u03b54 carriers with low CSF GDNF levels showed the fastest rate of cognitive decline among the four groups (Low/APOE4-, High/APOE4-, Low/APOE4+, and High/APOE4+).ConclusionsAPOE \u03b54 appears to interact with CSF GDNF levels to affect longitudinal cognitive decline among older adults without dementia.\n\nID: 42595466\nTitle: Baseline Amyloid PET Centiloid Score and Risk of Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities in Patients Treated With Lecanemab.\nAbstract: Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) are a known complication of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody therapy for Alzheimer's disease. Centiloid score, derived from amyloid PET/CT, provides a quantitative assessment of baseline amyloid burden; however, its relationship with ARIA risk remains uncertain. This study evaluated whether baseline Centiloid score was associated with ARIA in patients treated with lecanemab and included a secondary exploratory analysis of regional amyloid uptake. We retrospectively identified patients treated with lecanemab within a single academic health system who underwent pretreatment florbetaben amyloid PET/CT. Centiloid scores were generated using a standardized processing pipeline. Multivariable logistic regression evaluated the association between baseline Centiloid and ARIA, adjusting for age, sex, APOE \u03b54 carrier status, and baseline cerebral microbleed presence. ARIA-H and ARIA-E subgroups were evaluated separately using Firth penalized logistic regression. A secondary Cox proportional hazards analysis accounted for unequal follow up durations. Exploratory regional analysis compared baseline amyloid uptake in regions that subsequently developed ARIA-E with that in mirrored contralateral regions. The primary analysis included 41 patients with ARIA and 72 controls who completed at least 14 lecanemab infusions without ARIA. Baseline Centiloid was not independently associated with ARIA (adjusted OR per 10-Centiloid increase, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.89-1.15]; P = .90), ARIA-H (OR, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.89-1.14]; P = .91), or ARIA-E (OR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.87-1.21]; P = .78). In the Cox analysis of 41 patients with ARIA and 100 patients without ARIA, baseline Centiloid was not associated with time to ARIA (adjusted HR, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.91-1.11]; P = .91). Among 19 patients with ARIA-E included in the regional analysis, baseline uptake was modestly greater in regions that subsequently developed ARIA-E than in mirrored contralateral regions for SUVmax (3.44 \u00b1 0.78 versus 3.25 \u00b1 0.77; P = .02) and SUVmean (2.60 \u00b1 0.56 versus 2.45 \u00b1 0.64; P = .01). Baseline global Centiloid was not independently associated with ARIA in patients treated with lecanemab. Exploratory regional analysis demonstrated modest differences in baseline amyloid uptake in regions that subsequently developed ARIA-E, warranting confirmation in larger prospective studies.\n\nID: 42595239\nTitle: Decoding TREM2: A microglial receptor governing the fate of myelin.\nAbstract: Impaired myelin integrity and defective myelin regeneration represent core pathological features shared by central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's disease (AD), ischemic cerebral white matter lesions and spinal cord injury (SCI). Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) is highly enriched in central resident microglia; it is also expressed by border-associated macrophages and lesion-infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages, rather than being restricted to parenchymal microglia, acting as a key membrane receptor regulating microglial immune balance, lipid transport, lysosomal degradation and cell polarization. Existing studies demonstrate that TREM2 binds various ligands including myelin lipid debris, apolipoprotein E (APOE) and apoptotic cell components, then activates multiple DNAX-activating protein of 12\u00a0kDa (DAP12)-dependent signaling cascades: spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC\u03b32), beta-catenin and transcription factor EB (TFEB). These pathways jointly clear myelin debris, remodel cholesterol circulation, restrain pro-inflammatory microenvironment and promote oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPCs) differentiation, exerting bidirectional functions in physiological myelin homeostasis, acute injury response and chronic repair. This narrative review summarizes TREM2's gene and protein structure, ligand recognition modes and full signal transduction network. It illustrates the molecular mechanisms of TREM2 in myelin maintenance, debris clearance and regeneration, compares its distinct pathological roles in various demyelinating diseases, and concludes translational strategies including TREM2 agonism, downstream pathway intervention and biomarker exploitation. Furthermore, this narrative review analyzes unsolved core scientific issues and puts forward research routes for mechanistic research and clinical transformation, offering systematic theoretical basis for targeted drug development against demyelinating encephalopathies.\n\nID: 42594416\nTitle: Predictive value of the Alzheimer polygenic risk score on cognitive decline in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease dementia.\nAbstract: Polygenic risk scores for Alzheimer's disease (AD-PRS) are widely used to estimate genetic susceptibility to AD, but their relationship with the rate of cognitive decline (CD) after clinical onset remains insufficiently characterized. To examine the association between AD-PRS and longitudinal CD across the AD spectrum and to evaluate the predictive contribution of individual AD-PRS variants. Large longitudinal observational study in a single-center cohort, with an external cohort to assess generalizability. Memory clinic cohort from Ace Alzheimer Center Barcelona (Ace) with external cohort using data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). The study included 7,233 patients from Ace and 863 from ADNI, with a mean follow-up of 5.4 years in Ace and 3.6 years in ADNI. A biomarker sub-cohort included 1075 participants from Ace and 569 from ADNI. CD was quantified as the annual change in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores estimated using linear mixed-effects models. Associations between AD-PRS and longitudinal MMSE trajectories were tested adjusting for clinical and sociodemographic (CSD) variables and APOE genotype. Machine learning models and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were used to evaluate the predictive relevance of individual variants. Higher AD-PRS was associated with faster CD in the full clinical cohort and in biomarker subset, independently of APOE genotype. AD-PRS was not associated with baseline MMSE. APOE \u03b54 was associated with lower baseline MMSE and faster CD only in the full clinical sample. Genetic predictors provided limited improvement beyond CSD variables, and model performance showed limited reproducibility across cohorts. AD-PRS is associated with longitudinal CD across the AD spectrum. Although polygenic burden contributes to variability in cognitive trajectories, its added predictive value beyond routinely available clinical variables remains modest.\n\nID: 42593856\nTitle: A Multidimensional Engineering Strategy Reprograms Microglia via Targeted and Sustained-Release Extracellular Vesicles for Spinal Cord Injury Repair.\nAbstract: Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces neuroinflammation predominantly mediated by microglia, thereby establishing a detrimental milieu that impedes neurological recovery. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) possess considerable therapeutic potential; however, their clinical translation is constrained by insufficient bioactivity, poor targeting specificity, and uncontrolled release kinetics. Here, we present a multidimensional engineering strategy that overcomes these barriers synergistically. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-pretreated extracellular vesicles (TEVs) are enriched with anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative factors in their cargo, while Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting. A reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hyaluronic acid (HA)-phenylboronic acid (PBA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel serves as an intelligent depot for sustained, on-demand Ang-TEVs release at the lesion site. This construct, Ang-TEVs@Gel, demonstrated robust lesion accumulation and selective microglial uptake. It delivered miR-664a-3p, which suppressed PIK3CA to attenuate PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling and unleash autophagic flux, reprogramming microglia toward a reparative state that enhanced myelin debris clearance and quelled inflammation. Consequently, axonal regeneration and remyelination were markedly improved, driving significant motor recovery in SCI mice. By integrating preconditioning, active targeting, and stimuli-responsive biomaterials, this strategy provides an elegant blueprint for engineering EV-based therapies to repair the injured central nervous system.\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: 42592812\nTitle: Proteomic signatures of protected APOE \u03b54 carriers reveal causal pathways associated with delayed Alzheimer's disease onset.\nAbstract: APOE \u03b54 is the strongest common genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet many carriers remain cognitively unimpaired into late life. We tested whether protected \u03b54-first plasma proteomics could identify proteins associated with delayed clinical onset. We analyzed harmonized Global Neurodegeneration Proteomics Consortium (GNPC) plasma proteomics. Protected \u03b54 carriers (\u03b53/\u03b54 \u226575 years; \u03b54/\u03b54 \u226565 years; Clinical Dementia Rating [CDR] score\u00a0=\u00a00; n\u00a0=\u00a0456) were compared with \u03b54 carriers with AD (n\u00a0=\u00a01096). Protein-wise models adjusted for age, sex, \u03b54 dosage, and plasma proteomic principal components. Top signals were integrated with loss-of-function burden testing and plasma/cerebrospinal fluid Mendelian randomization. Protected \u03b54 status was associated with 721 protein measures. Integrated analyses prioritized LILRA5, DBI, BPNT1, PTEN, EPHA1, and PCDH10 as \u03b54-modified candidates and OMG, SELENOW, VAT1, and TPPP3 as broader AD-related signals. TREM2 and ACE were also identified. This strategy highlights immune, synaptic, metabolic-stress, and myelin/axonal pathways that may delay AD onset.\n\nID: 42585351\nTitle: Risk factors and cognitive domain markers of progression in subjective cognitive decline.\nAbstract: BackgroundSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) is increasingly recognized in some cases as an early clinical stage in the Alzheimer's disease continuum, yet the factors that predict which individuals will progress to objective impairment remain poorly understood.ObjectiveWe evaluated risk factor differences and cognitive domain markers associated with progression in participants with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) at baseline from the NYU Alzheimer's Disease Research Center.MethodsWe included SCD non-decliners (n\u2009=\u200927), who remained stable, and decliners (n\u2009=\u200924), who progressed to mild cognitive impairment or worse, between the second to sixth yearly follow-up visits. Adjusted mixed-effects models examined group differences and associations between demographic, APOE status, psychometric test performance and comorbidities with longitudinal-decline.ResultsOverall, mean (SD) age was 67.4 (9.2) and total follow-up time was 5.1 (1.8) years. Lower education (14.9 (3.2) versus 17.3 (2.1)), Hispanic ethnicity (50.0% versus 11.0%), and hypercholesterolemia (adjusted odds ratio: 6.67) were risk factors for progression in SCD, p\u2009\u2264\u20090.05, whereas APOE status was not. Notably, SCD decliners were at increased risk for both amnestic and non-amnestic cognitive-decline with psychometric changes in memory, executive, and language domains (p\u2009<\u20090.001 for all).ConclusionsThese findings inform further work on SCD outcomes and related biomarkers, as well as preventive studies that target modifiable risk factors for SCD progression.\n\nID: 42585285\nTitle: Correlation analysis between complement proteins and Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: BackgroundThe prominent pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques and tau pathology. The complement cascade is closely related to AD-associated pathological processes; however, the precise mechanisms underlying its contributions remain incompletely elucidated.ObjectiveWe aim to investigate the changes in complement protein expression during AD progression.MethodsThis study enrolled 285 participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. Participants were classified into biomarker-defined groups based on predefined cutoff values for A\u03b242 and phosphorylated tau (P-tau). We compared cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of complement proteins (C1q, C2, C3, C4a, C5, C6, C8b, and factor B) across these subgroups. Furthermore, we explored their associations with core AD biomarkers (A\u03b242, P-tau, and T-tau) and clinical characteristics. Additionally, we investigated age-related changes in complement gene expression within the cerebral cortex of 3xTg mice using single-nucleus RNA sequencing.ResultsComplement protein levels in the CSF of A\u2009+\u2009subjects were significantly lower than those in A- subjects, and complement protein levels were positively correlated with A\u03b2 pathology. Complement protein levels were influenced by factors such as age, gender, body mass index, APOE genotype, and hypertension. Compared with control mice, the complement gene C1qa in microglia was upregulated throughout the entire pathological cycle in 3xTg AD mice.ConclusionsComplement proteins undergo significant changes during the pathogenesis of AD, and alterations in their levels may reflect early pathological changes in AD and warrant further investigation. Notably, our findings suggest that microglia may contribute to complement-mediated pathological processes associated with AD.\n\nID: 42583477\nTitle: Alzheimer's Disease DNA Methylation Index (AD-DMI) and its Association with Late-Life Cognitive Function.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is driven by genetic and epigenetic factors. A knowledge gap remains in applying DNA methylation (DNAm) to capture AD-specific signatures. We developed the AD DNA Methylation Index (AD-DMI), a brain-derived risk index constructed from 100 CpG sites identified by elastic-net logistic regression of methylation data from postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex tissue. AD-DMI was evaluated in 722 older adults, including individuals with normal cognition (NC), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and AD. AD-relevant associations were tested using generalized linear models, logistic regression, and path analyses, with applicable covariate adjustments. Higher AD-DMI scores were associated with lower global cognitive function, greater global AD neuropathologic burden, and increased odds of subjective memory complaints. AD-DMI predicted clinical diagnosis across the continuum, independent of cognition and pathology. Compared to the Cortical clock, AD-DMI showed stronger and more specific associations with both cognitive and pathological outcomes. Genes mapped to AD-DMI CpGs overlapped with eight genetic loci identified in AD genome-wide association studies, including RELN, LRP1B, and PDE9A. AD-DMI was significantly associated with increased methylation at CpGs in APOE, HOXA3, and ANK1. AD-DMI provides a biologically grounded framework for linking disease-relevant methylation changes with cognitive and pathological outcomes in AD.\n\nID: 42582950\nTitle: ABCA7-80\u00a0moderates vascular stiffness-p-tau217 association in older African Americans.\nAbstract: Compromised vascular health is increasingly linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), derived from age and blood pressure, and provides a practical, non-invasive index of vascular stiffness and overall vascular health. Older African Americans experience a disproportionate burden of vascular disease and AD. Genetic risk factors such as APOE \u03b54 and ABCA7-80 (rs115550680) further increase AD susceptibility. However, whether these genetic risks influence vascular stiffness and how that may interact with AD pathology remains unknown, especially in African Americans. A total of 143 older African Americans (mean age\u00a0=\u00a071.10\u00a0\u00b1\u00a06.83 years; 109 women) were included. We examined the effects of both ABCA7-80 and APOE \u03b54 genotypes on ePWV and plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217). All regression models controlled for sex, education, pulse pressure, waist-to-hip ratio, global cognitive status, hypertension status, and APOE genotype (APOE genotype only used for ABCA7-80 regression models). ABCA7-80 risk allele carriers exhibited higher ePWV (F (1,130)\u00a0=\u00a08.16, p\u00a0=\u00a00.005, \u03b72 p\u00a0=\u00a00.064) and higher p-tau217 levels (F (1,130)\u00a0=\u00a030.11, p\u00a0<\u00a00.001, \u03b72 p \u00a0=\u00a00.201). APOE \u03b54 allele carriers also showed higher p-tau217 levels (F (1,131)\u00a0=\u00a012.96, p\u00a0<\u00a00.001, \u03b72 p\u00a0=\u00a00.092). ABCA7-80 significantly moderated the relationship between ePWV and p-tau217 (F(1,130)\u00a0=\u00a06.58, p\u00a0<\u00a00.001), such that higher ePWV was associated with higher p-tau217 among ABCA7-80 risk carriers (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.52, t (130)\u00a0=\u00a02.69, p\u00a0=\u00a00.008). ABCA7-80 risk, but not APOE \u03b54, heightens susceptibility to the tau-related effects of compromised vascular health among older African Americans. These findings identify a genetically vulnerable subgroup in which vascular stiffness may disproportionately accelerate AD-related tau pathology and highlight vascular health as a modifiable target for reducing AD risk in African Americans.\n\nID: 42581323\nTitle: Plasticity of human microglia and brain perivascular macrophages in aging and Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Myeloid cells, including microglia and perivascular macrophages, are central to Alzheimer's disease (AD) neurobiology, yet their role remains incompletely understood. We profiled 832,505 human myeloid cells from the prefrontal cortex of 1,607 donors spanning the lifespan and showing varying degrees of AD neuropathology. We delineated six subclasses comprising 13 transcriptionally distinct subtypes and identified adaptive changes associated with aging and AD progression. Here we show that a disease-associated microglial subtype, characterized by elevated GPNMB expression and enriched for polygenic AD risk, expands with AD pathology and shows increased phagocytic activity. We identify MITF as an upstream regulator required to maintain this microglial state. Cell-cell interaction analyses prioritize APOE-SORL1 and APOE-TREM2 signaling pairs associated with disease progression. Using human and mouse models, we demonstrate that the neuroprotective effects of this microglial subtype depend on TREM2. These findings provide mechanistic insights into myeloid cell function in aging and AD, aiding therapeutic discovery.\n\nID: 42580617\nTitle: Biomarkers of chemical- and drug-induced neurotoxicity: A review of mechanistic insights and neuroprotective strategies.\nAbstract: Chemical- and drug-induced neurotoxicity remains a concern in environmental health and clinical pharmacology due to the nervous system's vulnerability and limited regeneration. This review explores biomarkers for detecting, monitoring, and mitigating neurotoxicity, and discusses underlying mechanisms. It covers neurotoxic agents like pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, pollutants, and drugs such as chemotherapeutics, immunosuppressants, and antibiotics. Despite diverse exposures, they share mechanisms like oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis, leading to neuronal injury and cognitive issues. Biomarkers-including proteins (neurofilament light chain, GFAP, UCH-L1), genetic/epigenetic tools (DNA methylation, microRNAs), metabolic markers (oxidative stress, neurotransmitter metabolites), imaging (MRI, PET), electrophysiology (EEG, ERPs), and new platforms like extracellular vesicles-provide multidimensional insights. They enable early detection and mechanistic understanding vital for neuroprotective strategies. The review highlights biomarker-guided therapies, such as antioxidants, mitochondrial stabilizers, anti-inflammatory drugs, nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes, and multimodal approaches. It emphasizes validation, standardization, and clinical integration of biomarkers to support personalized medicine. Overall, biomarkers are crucial for advancing neurotoxicity prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, bridging research and clinical practice to safeguard neural health.\n\nID: 42580438\nTitle: Current Clinical Evidence on Nose-to-Brain Drug Delivery.\nAbstract: Intranasal delivery is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for direct drug transport to the brain via the nose-to-brain pathway, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and improving therapeutic efficacy. This approach has shown potential in the treatment of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and acute psychiatric conditions, as well as in emergencies such as anxiety attacks and migraine episodes. Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine, among other drugs, have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy. In addition, FDA-approved intranasal products indicated for central nervous system disorders, including diazepam and midazolam for seizure management, and triptans for migraine, demonstrate the growing clinical relevance of intranasal drug delivery. Both preclinical and clinical studies have reported encouraging outcomes, particularly when intranasal delivery is combined with nanoformulations and specialised delivery devices designed to enhance olfactory deposition. Intranasal administration is non-invasive, painless, and may improve patient adherence while enhancing brain bioavailability. Nevertheless, further well-designed clinical studies are required to establish the long-term safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of this delivery strategy.\n\nID: 42578810\nTitle: Effects of damaged astrocytes on DNA damage and repair in human neurons: Implications for Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: BackgroundStudies suggest a strong association between astrocytes, neuronal DNA damage, elevated amyloid-\u03b2, and brain degeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD).ObjectiveThis study aimed to show whether astrocytes with damaged DNA affect human neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs) or differentiated neurons in close proximity, dependent on astrocytic APOE allele expression.MethodsImmortalized human astrocytes (hTERT) expressing APOE were treated with etoposide to induce DNA damage and co-cultured in a transwell system with human NPCs or differentiated neurons. We used western blotting and immunostaining to evaluate the DNA damage response of the NPCs and neurons.ResultsUndamaged NPCs showed increased DNA damage when co-cultured with damaged astrocytes. The astrocytic APOE genotype had little to no effect on the transcellular damage response. NPCs overexpressing the amyloid-\u03b2 protein precursor responded more robustly when co-cultured with damaged astrocytes. Differentiated neurons showed no significant changes in their DNA damage response to damaged astrocytes.ConclusionsThis study is the first to demonstrate that astrocytic DNA damage may contribute to early stages of neuronal pathology in AD by inducing a DNA damage response in vulnerable neuronal populations.\n\nID: 42577392\nTitle: Choroid plexus enlargement is negatively associated with cognitive performance in a DTI-ALPS-dependent manner.\nAbstract: Disturbances in brain fluid homeostasis are increasingly implicated in neurodegeneration. Imaging measures of structural alterations of the choroid plexus (CP) and impaired glymphatic transport have each been associated with cognitive decline, yet their potential interaction in humans remains poorly understood. We investigated the relationship between CP volume, glymphatic diffusion, and cognitive performance in 100 memory clinic patients. Diffusion tensor imaging analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) was used as an imaging proxy of glymphatic diffusion, and CP volume and WMH volume were derived from structural MRI using FastSurfer segmentation. Multivariable linear regression models examined associations between CP volume, ALPS index, and global cognitive performance measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Models were adjusted for age, sex, education, APOE \u03b54 status, WMH burden and plasma phosphorylated tau (pTau217). Interaction terms tested whether CP structure and glymphatic diffusion jointly influenced cognition. Larger CP volume was associated with lower ALPS index after adjustment for demographic and molecular covariates (\u03b2\u202f=\u202f-282.19, p\u202f=\u202f0.015). CP volume and ALPS index were not independently associated with MoCA scores; however, a significant interaction between CP volume and ALPS index was observed (\u03b2\u202f=\u202f-13,299.09, p\u202f=\u202f0.036). The association between CP volume and cognitive performance depended on DTI-ALPS, such that larger CP volumes were associated with poorer MoCA scores at higher ALPS values, whereas CP volume showed little association with cognition at lower ALPS values. This interaction improved model fit compared with main-effects models (R2 \u202f=\u202f0.31). The findings remained significant after adjusting for CSF volume and were replicated using MMSE as the outcome. Plasma pTau217 levels were strongly associated with worse cognition but did not significantly modify the CP-ALPS interaction. CP enlargement is associated with glymphatic diffusion, and its relationship with cognitive performance varies across DTI-ALPS index values. These findings suggest that interactions between CSF regulatory systems may correlate with cognitive performance in a state-dependent manner. Notably, higher ALPS values in individuals with enlarged CP may reflect compensatory or altered perivascular fluid dynamics rather than preserved glymphatic function, highlighting the complexity of interpreting diffusion-based markers of brain clearance.\n\nID: 42576582\nTitle: Dysfunctional Crosstalk in Ischemic Stroke: Exploring Network Failure and Emerging Communication Pathways.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke damages complex, interconnected communication networks in addition to causing the destructive collapse of cells. All elements of the neurovascular unit (NVU), including the often disregarded glycocalyx and invading peripheral immune cells, interact dynamically and frequently contradict one another in their pathophysiological processes, which extend beyond neurons. This paper reviews developments in intercellular communication pathways that regulate brain injury and repair after cerebral ischemia. The intricate signaling networks among neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes, and lymphocytes were comprehensively analyzed. This review goes beyond conventional viewpoints to highlight major findings, ongoing debates, and critical research gaps associated with each interaction. This study investigated the dual nature of glial responses by analyzing diverse activation states of glial cells, the mechanisms underlying blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, including glycocalyx degradation, and the complex immunoregulatory roles of lymphocyte subsets, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), regulatory B cells (Bregs), and \u03b3\u03b4 T cells. In addition to classical soluble factor signaling, emerging communication mechanisms, including extracellular vesicles (EVs), tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), and migrasomes, were investigated, and these mechanisms may be involved in ischemic pathophysiology. Contradictory data and mechanistic evidence were assessed for every communication pathway; knowledge gaps were identified, and specific experiments were proposed to resolve these uncertainties. Finally, these observations were integrated into a discussion of advanced therapeutic approaches based on network modulation. This review offers a potential framework for discovering new system-based treatment targets targeted at rewiring harmful crosstalk and fostering strong neurological recovery by characterizing ischemic stroke as a progressive failure of intercellular communication.\n\nID: 42575454\nTitle: Differential consequences of traumatic brain injury in the hippocampal hemispheres of male rats and the beneficial effect of neuropeptide Y.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a complex cascade of secondary injury mechanisms, including neurovascular dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and glial activation, which progressively contribute to long-term neurological deficits. Although the primary mechanical insult is typically unilateral, secondary pathological processes can extend beyond the impact site. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of these bilateral alterations remains poorly understood. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous neuromodulator with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising candidate for limiting secondary brain injury. Here, we characterized the bilateral hippocampal response to experimental TBI and evaluated whether early intranasal NPY administration post-TBI attenuates neurovascular and neuroinflammatory alterations while improving behavioral outcomes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a closed-head weight-drop model of TBI and treated intranasally with NPY (100\u00a0\u03bcg/animal) or vehicle 30\u00a0min after injury. Molecular, histological, and behavioral analyses were performed 48\u00a0h and 7\u00a0days post-injury. We concluded that TBI induced distinct spatiotemporal pathological responses in the hippocampi. The ipsilateral hippocampus exhibited early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and astrocytic alterations, whereas the contralateral hippocampus developed a more pronounced and sustained inflammatory response characterized by microglial activation and increased expression of inflammatory and endothelial activation markers. Early intranasal NPY administration attenuated these bilateral pathological alterations by preserving BBB integrity, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, and normalizing glial morphology. These neurobiological effects were accompanied by improvements in spatial working memory and anxiety-related behaviors. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that unilateral TBI induces distinct bilateral secondary injury responses within the hippocampus and identify early intranasal NPY administration as a promising strategy. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and establish the long-term therapeutic potential of NPY.\n\nID: 42575342\nTitle: Dramatic sex differences leading to different brain disease presentation: The requirement for sex-specific medications with ADNP/davunetide as a case study.\nAbstract: Focusing on the brain-essential gene revealed in our laboratory, activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) and its neuroprotective site, the investigational drug davunetide (NAP), we discuss ADNP regulating steroid hormone biosynthesis and sex chromosome genes coupled with sex-dependent shuttling between the nuclei and cytoplasm. Further coupled with sex-dependent transcriptional control, ADNP/davunetide cytoplasmic microtubule/Tau targeting is translated into differential sex regulation of key cellular processes including neurogenesis, synaptic function, and axonal transport, then decoded into sexual dichotomy in multicellular processes directing sex-dependent behavioral outcomes. ADNP regulation of these sex-specific processes serves as a target for davunetide intervention, toward sex-directed precision medicine, revealing sexually dichotomized neuroprotection against tauopathy risk and progression spanning from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to prodromal Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and schizophrenia, as well as the pediatric ADNP syndrome. Sex-specific intranasal bioavailability of davunetide, regulated by the estrous cycle, provides a mechanistic foundation for these differential outcomes.\n\nID: 42570992\nTitle: An ApoE-Associated Low-Inflammatory Microglial State Emerges After Inflammatory Challenge in Alzheimer's Disease Mice.\nAbstract: Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) frequently experience inflammatory insults; however, the mechanisms by which microglia respond to these challenges remain unclear. Although AD microglia have been proposed to be primed for exaggerated inflammatory responses, single-cell evidence remains limited. To investigate microglial responses to inflammation in AD, we challenged AD mouse models with intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize microglial states, along with in vivo immunostaining and in vitro models to define their features and underlying mechanisms. We found that, in response to an inflammatory challenge, microglia adopted a low-inflammatory state accompanied by elevated expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain genes. This state was associated with the phagocytosis of dystrophic neurites and was recapitulated in vitro using an efferocytosis-based model, with apolipoprotein E implicated in its underlying mechanism. In summary, we identified a distinct microglial state that provides new insights into the dynamic role of microglia in AD.\n\nID: 42570468\nTitle: Quantifying generalization error in machine learning prediction of cognitive decline.\nAbstract: Predicting cognitive decline as a continuum, from healthy age-related decline to mild cognitive impairment and dementia, enables more precise individual-level predictions. However, the practical value of such models for early intervention and prevention depends on their ability to generalize to independent cohorts, a property that is often not evaluated. This study investigated whether adding structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to non-brain data improved machine learning predictions of continuous cognitive decline and analyzed the models' generalizability. Multi-target random forest regression models predicted annual decline in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) using non-brain data, structural MRI data, or their combination from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI; N = 1237) and Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS-3; N = 662) datasets. Cross-site generalizability was evaluated. Data from ADNI and OASIS-3 were used for this study. A total of 1899 participants who had demographic, clinical, and brain imaging data from a baseline session and clinical data from at least 2 follow-up sessions were included. Baseline non-brain (demographics, clinical and neuropsychological scores, information on APOE genotype, cognitive diagnosis, health, and number of sessions before baseline) and/or structural MRI data were used to predict the yearly rate of change in CDR-SOB and MMSE scores. Including structural MRI data improved prediction of CDR-SOB and MMSE change, reaching respective R2 values of .41 and .33 in ADNI and .42 and .33 in OASIS-3. Model performance for across-dataset predictions was reduced (R2 between .18 and .35), unexplained by distributional shifts of target variables. Models using only top predictive features performed similarly to full models when tested externally (R2 between .18 and .34), suggesting predictor redundancy. Incorporating structural MRI data enhances within-dataset prediction of continuous cognitive decline, allowing for more precise individual-level prediction and advancing towards precision medicine. Even though external validation remains limited, quantifying the generalizability gap is a crucial step towards the responsible use of ML models in clinical intervention and prevention.\n\nID: 42551464\nTitle: Incidence of dementia after age 90 years and association with APOE genotype, race, and sex in the USA: the LifeAfter90 prospective cohort study.\nAbstract: Little is known about dementia incidence and its risk factors in people older than 90 years, particularly in heterogeneous populations. We evaluated dementia incidence and examined the associations of sex, race and ethnicity, and APOE genotype with dementia risk after age 90 years using data from LifeAfter90, an ongoing prospective cohort study. LifeAfter90 is a prospective cohort study that enrolled Kaiser Permanente Northern California members, who were at least 90 years old, from the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, USA. Participants were clinically evaluated every 6 months from July 17, 2018, to Nov 9, 2024, in person or remotely. Incident all-cause dementia was diagnosed by a combination of physician assessment, Clinical Dementia Rating, and a Functional Activities Questionnaire. Sex, race and ethnicity, and education were captured during in-person assessments; APOE genotyping was performed using salivary DNA. We estimated age-standardised dementia incidence rates and used age-adjusted Cox and Fine-Gray competing-risk models to study the association between sex, race and ethnicity, APOE genotype, and dementia. The Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard ratio (sHR) models treated death as a competing risk. Models were adjusted for age (time-scale) and individuals were followed until dementia diagnosis or end of follow-up. Of 1120 individuals initially available, 96 with prevalent dementia and 219 with only one clinical evaluation were excluded; 805 participants were included. Median age was 92 years (range 90-103), 494 (61%) were female, 209 (26%) Asian, 191 (24%) African American or Black, 157 (20%) Hispanic or Latinx, 228 (28%) White, and 20 (2%) from other racial or ethnic groups; 413 had APOE data. During mean follow-up of 2 years (SD 1\u00b77), 138 (17%) developed dementia and 295 (37%) died. The age-standardised incidence rate was 116\u00b782 cases per 1000 person-years (95% CI 93\u00b769-139\u00b796). In Fine-Gray models, dementia risk was higher in female than in male participants (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR] 1\u00b789, 95% CI 1\u00b730-2\u00b776) and Black than Asian participants (sHR 1\u00b775, 1\u00b707-2\u00b788), lower in APOE \u03b52 carriers than in non-carriers (sHR 0\u00b739, 0\u00b717-0\u00b788), and not significantly higher in APOE \u03b54 carriers than in non-carriers (sHR 1\u00b751, 0\u00b792-2\u00b747). No significant differences were found by education. Ethnoracial disparities in dementia risk appear to persist after 90 years, and the association between APOE \u03b54 and dementia might differ by sex. These findings reinforce the importance of dementia screening and surveillance, even among people with exceptional longevity.

No previous study has characterized APOE allele distribution among Syrian patients with AD.ObjectiveThis investigation aimed to assess the association between APOE genotypes and AD risk in a Syrian cohort.MethodsIn this case-control study, genomic DNA was extracted from 52 clinically diagnosed AD patients and 38 cognitively healthy controls. The APOE genotype was determined by direct sequencing of the rs429358 and rs7412 polymorphisms defining the \u03b52, \u03b53, and \u03b54 alleles. Genotypic and allelic frequencies were compared using Fisher's exact test, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was assessed in the controls.ResultsThe \u03b53/\u03b53 genotype was predominant in both groups (73.1% of cases, 94.7% of controls). The \u03b53/\u03b54 genotype appeared in 23.1% of AD patients but was absent among controls (Corrected OR = 12.37, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.65-233.7, p\u2009<\u20090.01). The overall \u03b54 allele frequency in patients (0.117) was significantly higher than in controls (0.000) (Corrected OR = 10.76, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.59-195.7, p\u2009<\u20090.01). The \u03b52/2, \u03b54/4, and \u03b52/4 genotypes were not detected in any participants.ConclusionsThis study is the first to investigate the prevalence of the APOE \u03b54 allele in Syrian patients with Alzheimer's disease. These results underscore the importance of investigating genetic architectures when assessing AD risk and call for larger, multi-center studies across the Middle East to elucidate the interplay between APOE variants and metabolic determinants of cognitive decline.\n\nID: 42570239\nTitle: APOE3 and APOE4 human astrocytes differentially modulate Alzheimer's disease pathology and microglial responses in chimeric mice.\nAbstract: Astrocytes and APOE are strongly implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the impact of astrocytes carrying different APOE variants on AD hallmarks remains incompletely understood. Here, we generate a chimeric model of AD by transplanting isogenic APOE3 or APOE4 human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived astrocyte progenitors into neonatal AD mice. Donor cells differentiate into human astrocytes that integrate into the cortex and display morphologies consistent with interlaminar-like astrocytes. APOE3 and APOE4 astrocytes differ in expression of APOE, which associates differentially with A\u03b2 plaques. Notably, APOE3 astrocytes are associated with reduced A\u03b2 burden, Tau pathology, and neuritic dystrophy, whereas APOE4 astrocytes exacerbate these processes. They also induce distinct microglial responses: APOE4 astrocytes enhance microglial clustering around A\u03b2 plaques and promote a disease-associated microglia-like state, whereas APOE3 astrocytes reduce clustering and support a more homeostatic profile. These findings highlight a role for human astrocytes and APOE-dependent astrocyte functions in modulating AD-related pathology.\n\nID: 42569826\nTitle: APOE and genetic risk variants influence Alzheimer's disease onset in carriers of an extra copy of APP, with and without Down syndrome.\nAbstract: An extra copy of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene causes autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD in Down syndrome (DS), but the factors underlying variability in age at onset (AAO) remain unclear. We investigated whether sporadic AD risk variants modify AAO. We analyzed clinical and genetic data from 100 APP duplication (APPdup) carriers and 957 individuals with DS. Cox models assessed associations of apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b52 and \u03b54 and the AD genetic risk score (AD-GRS; excluding APOE and chromosome 21 variants) with AAO. Mean AAO was earlier in APPdup than DS (51\u00a0\u00b1\u00a07\u00a0vs. 53\u00a0\u00b1\u00a06 years; P\u00a0=\u00a00.0005). APOE \u03b52 delayed onset (hazard ratio [HR]\u00a0=\u00a00.47, P\u00a0<\u00a00.0001), whereas APOE \u03b54 (HR\u00a0=\u00a01.5, P\u00a0=\u00a00.0003) and higher AD-GRS (HR\u00a0=\u00a01.3 per standard deviation, P\u00a0<\u00a00.0001) accelerated onset. Predicted median AAO differed by 10 years between lowest and highest genetic risk. Sporadic AD genetic risk factors are important modifiers of AAO in APPdup and DS, explaining part of the marked variability in onset.\n\nID: 42569203\nTitle: APOE Genotypes Modulate the Relationship of Hypertension With Alzheimer's Disease: Associations and Clues of Peripheral Mechanisms.\nAbstract: Gene-environment interplay contributes to the heterogeneous etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable vascular risk factor, but whether its association with AD differs across APOE genotypes remains unclear. We examined the interaction between HTN and APOE genotypes in relation to incident AD and explored plasma proteomic correlates as potential biological clues. Longitudinal data from 318,923 UK Biobank participants without dementia were analyzed; participants had a mean age of 56.24 years, an APOE \u03b54 frequency of 28.29%, and a median follow-up period of 13 years. Cox proportional hazards models with competing-risk adjustment for death were used to assess additive and multiplicative interactions between HTN and APOE genotypes. Plasma proteomic data from 34,141 participants, covering 2790 proteins, were further analyzed using mediation and bioinformatics approaches. HTN showed a significant multiplicative interaction with APOE \u03b54 status for incident AD (p < .001). The association between HTN and AD risk was strongest among APOE \u03b52 carriers, followed by \u03b533 carriers and \u03b54 carriers, with hazard ratios of 1.570, 1.213, and 1.129, respectively. Among APOE \u03b52 carriers, prosaposin and ganglioside GM2 activator significantly mediated the HTN-AD association, with mediation proportions of 10.46% and 3.37%, respectively. These proteins were enriched in sphingolipid metabolism and lysosomal function. The association between HTN and incident AD varies across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. These findings suggest genotype-dependent heterogeneity in vascular contributions to AD risk. Proteomic results should be interpreted as exploratory biological clues and require further validation. The association between hypertension and incident Alzheimer\u2019s disease differed across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. Multiplicative, but not additive, interaction supports cautious interpretation of clinical implications and does not establish absolute risk scale synergy. Exploratory plasma proteomic analyses identified PSAP-, GM2A-, and BRK1-related signals involving sphingolipid, lysosomal, and WAVE-complex biology.\n\nID: 42566020\nTitle: Effect of genetic factors on [18F]FDG PET metabolic phenotypes in dementia with Lewy bodies.\nAbstract: Neuroimaging with [18F]FDG PET can support the diagnosis of Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), but it remains unclear how genetic factors influence metabolic phenotypes. To determine whether GBA1 and APOE \u03b54 status are associated with diverging [18F]FDG PET metabolic patterns in DLB. We analyzed [18F]FDG PET scans from 43 patients with DLB stratified by GBA1 and APOE \u03b54 status, and 35 from healthy subjects. Analyses included the cingulate island sign (CIS), regions of interest, SSM/PCA disease patterns, and a machine learning multi-class model. We evaluated the similarity of the DLB patient scans in our cohort with respect to typical DLB, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD)-like patterns. APOE \u03b54 status mainly influenced the CIS, with APOE \u03b54-negative patients showing greater preservation of the DLB-typical CIS pattern (p\u2009=\u20090.03) compared to APOE \u03b54 carriers. In contrast, GBA1 status influenced global metabolic phenotype. GBA1 carriers showed a more homogeneous PD/DLB-like metabolic pattern in the machine learning model (p\u2009=\u20090.003) compared to GBA1 non-carriers, whereas the latter group demonstrated greater heterogeneity and higher expression of the AD-related metabolic pattern (p\u2009=\u20090.004). These effects were observed along a metabolic spectrum rather than as distinct clusters. APOE \u03b54 and GBA1 modulate distinct aspects of the metabolic phenotype in DLB. GBA1 non-carriers and APOE \u03b54 carriers showed a higher rate of atypical metabolic signatures, which may contribute to biological heterogeneity and increase the risk of diagnostic misclassification.\n\nID: 42565245\nTitle: A randomized phase 1b/2 trial of ABBV-916 in adults with early Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: ABBV-916, an anti-amyloid immunotherapy, was evaluated in patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD). This phase 1b/2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study consisted of two stages: multiple ascending dose (Stage A) and dose expansion (Stage B). In Stage A, patients were randomized to one of six planned cohorts to receive intravenous ABBV-916 (10\u00a0mg to 3000\u00a0mg) or placebo monthly through week 24. Assessments included amyloid PET, blood-based biomarkers, pharmacokinetics (PK), and safety. Dose selection for Stage B was to be based on results from Stage A. One hundred six patients were randomized to ABBV-916 or placebo. The 3000\u00a0mg dose was reduced to 2000\u00a0mg and subsequently to 900\u00a0mg after safety review. Dose-proportional PK were observed, and amyloid reduction was observed over 24\u00a0weeks at doses \u2265300\u00a0mg. Most adverse events were non-serious amyloid-related imaging abnormalities. The program ended before dose expansion due to business considerations. Amyloid clearance rate and safety of ABBV-916 were generally comparable to approved anti-amyloid AD therapies.

However, it remains unclear whether the existing literature tests PA at the disease stage and in the populations most likely to show benefit. This umbrella review evaluated whether associations between PA and cognitive, fluid biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes differ by apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) genotype across stages of cognitive aging, with particular attention to how study design and baseline cognitive status shape interpretation of the evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were screened for primary studies examining PA in adults classified by baseline cognitive status as cognitively unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. Primary studies reporting APOE \u03b54-stratified outcomes were extracted and qualitatively synthesized by outcome domain, cognitive stage, and study design. Of 2,100 records identified, seven systematic reviews met inclusion criteria, yielding 68 unique primary studies. Favorable associations between PA and cognitive, biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes were most often reported in observational studies of younger or cognitively unimpaired adults. Several studies suggested stronger associations among APOE \u03b54 carriers, including midlife cognitive associations, neuroimaging markers, and vascular/metabolic outcomes such as lipid profiles. In contrast, randomized controlled trials were few, generally enrolled older adults with MCI or dementia, included small APOE \u03b54 subgroups, and reported largely null or mixed genotype-specific effects. The current evidence does not establish a definitive APOE \u03b54-specific preventive effect of PA. Future studies may be most informative if they target earlier-stage, low-active, or metabolically at-risk APOE \u03b54 carriers using objective PA measures and proximal vascular, metabolic, imaging, or blood-based biomarker outcomes.\n\nID: 42561582\nTitle: Stages of objective memory impairment (SOMI) as a predictor of clinical progression in the A4 study.\nAbstract: About one third of amyloid positive, cognitively normal individuals develop mild cognitive impairment or clinical Alzheimer dementia (AD) over 5 years of follow-up. Sensitive cognitive measures, in addition to biomarkers of amyloid pathology, add to the efficiency of secondary prevention trials by identifying cognitively normal individuals at greatest risk of clinical progression. The Stages of Objective Memory Impairment (SOMI) system, based on the picture version of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with immediate recall (pFCSRT+IR), predicted clinical progression in two observational studies. Our objective was to extend SOMI's findings to clinical trials using participants from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's(A4) study. Eligible participants were cognitively normal, had a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) =0, an elevated amyloid level, the pFCSRT+IR, pTau217, and longitudinal data on the CDR. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of baseline SOMI stage for clinical progression defined by time to the first of 2 consecutive CDRs > 0 or CDR>0 at last assessment. The sample was censored at 4.5 years of follow-up. Of the 911 eligible participants, mean age was 72 years, 59% were female, 62% were APOE \u03b54 carriers, and 37% progressed over 4.5 years. Hazard ratios (HR) for progression were estimated with follow-up time as the timescale and the SOMI 0 group as the reference. The HRs for progression across SOMI stage increased from 1.48(1.15-1.92 p=.003) for SOMI-1, to 1.83 (1.32-2.54, p \u2264 0.001) for SOMI-2, and to 3.04 (1.97-4.68, p \u2264 0.001) for SOMI 3/4. SOMI remained an independent and significant predictor when pTau217 was added to the model. SOMI's risk profile in A4 was similar to prior findings in observational cohorts. SOMI provides a low-cost, non-invasive enrichment tool for identifying individuals at risk for early cognitive decline in secondary prevention trials.\n\nID: 42556769\nTitle: Mitochondria-enriched BMSC exosomes restore microglia-neuron cross-talk in Parkinson's disease via PINK1/parkin and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation drive dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson's disease (PD). While BMSC-derived small extracellular vesicles (BMSC-Exo) are neuroprotective, their ability to repair mitochondrial deficits is limited. We engineered mitochondrial-enriched sEVs (Exo-Mito) to evaluate their effects on microglia-neuron interactions in a PD-relevant model. BMSC-Exo-Mito were characterized via TEM, NTA, and immunoblotting. Their therapeutic efficacy was assessed using an MPP\u00a0+\u00a0-induced BV2/SH-SY5Y transwell co-culture model. Assessments included ROS levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP quantification, mitophagy flux, and signaling pathway analysis. Exo-Mito significantly restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing ROS, preserving membrane potential, and increasing ATP production. Mechanistically, Exo-Mito enhanced PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy and PGC-1alpha/TFAM-mediated biogenesis. In BV2 microglia, Exo-Mito suppressed the NF-kappaB/NLRP3 axis, reduced proinflammatory cytokines, and promoted M2 polarization. In SH-SY5Y cells with dopaminergic phenotype, Exo-Mito was associated with reactivated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, preserved tyrosine hydroxylase expression, and inhibited apoptosis. Functionally, Exo-Mito improved SH-SY5Y cell and restored microglial migratory capacity, showing superior efficacy to unmodified BMSC-Exo. Mitochondria-enriched BMSC sEVs protect SH-SY5Y cells by coordinating mitochondrial quality control and modulating neuroinflammation. These findings support Exo-Mito as a promising cell-free therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease.\n\nID: 42556482\nTitle: A role for apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) in the pathogenesis of depressive symptoms and Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Depression is a chronic mental disorder that is often difficult to diagnose and mostly left untreated. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a lipid transport protein that plays a central role in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins and the transport of lipids within tissues. Among its three major isoforms, only ApoE4 has a unique structural variant that confers significant neurotoxicity not present in the other two subtypes. ApoE4 not only disrupts lipid metabolism but also interferes with neuroimmune regulation and mitochondrial dynamics, thereby impairing synaptic integrity. It is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and accelerates its age of onset. Although developing depression in midlife may be a risk factor for AD, the underlying mechanisms by which ApoE4 influences depression or depression-related behaviors associated with AD remain fragmented, and systematic integrative reviews on this topic are scarce. We integrate existing evidence to elucidate the role of ApoE4 in depression or AD-associated prodromal depressive-like behaviors, with a focus on how its dysfunction disrupts cellular lipid homeostasis, impairs synaptic plasticity, and damages mitochondrial function. We also explored specific therapeutic strategies targeting the pathological defects of ApoE4 that enhance synaptic resilience, and utilizing conformational modulating small molecules such as EZ-482 and ALZ-801 to treat depressive symptoms in early AD. Thus, these findings indicate that ApoE4 may influence the progression of depressive phenotypes through multiple pathological pathways, making it a promising therapeutic target for treating depression comorbid with early AD.\n\nID: 42556435\nTitle: Extracellular vesicle-mediated immune regulation in central nervous system diseases: Mechanistic insights and exercise interventions.\nAbstract: Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are major contributors to long-term disability and cognitive impairment, with neuroinflammation and immune dysregulation closely implicated in their pathogenesis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer-enclosed membrane vesicles secreted by diverse cell types that mediate communication between the periphery and CNS through the delivery of various bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and non-coding RNA, thereby exerting immunomodulatory functions. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that EVs contribute to immune regulation during the initiation and progression of CNS diseases by modulating pathological processes, including neuroinflammation, pro-inflammatory polarization of glial cells, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis. Previous studies have reported that exercise exerts neuroprotective effects in CNS diseases through EVs-mediated immune regulation. This review summarizes and critically evaluates the biological characteristics of EVs, EV-mediated immunoregulatory mechanisms, the roles of EV-mediated immunoregulation in CNS diseases, and exercise interventions, thereby providing theoretical insights into the beneficial effects of exercise on brain health.\n\nID: 42552753\nTitle: The role of polygenic risk in Alzheimer's disease prediction for African Americans.\nAbstract: African Americans (AAs) face a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) than European Americans (EUs), yet the utility of polygenic risk scores (PRS) in AAs remains underexplored. A standardized dementia PRS was evaluated in the Chicago Health and Aging Project (n\u00a0=\u00a04336; 61% AA) for associations with ADRD and cognitive trajectories over 8.4 years. PRS predicted ADRD more strongly in EUs (c-index 0.86) than AAs (0.77); however, it conferred higher risk in AAs (hazard ratio [HR]\u00a0=\u00a01.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-1.78) compared to EU (HR\u00a0=\u00a01.13, 95% CI: 0.88-1.44). The PRS remained predictive among AAs after apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 adjustment (HR\u00a0=\u00a01.53, 95% CI: 1.03-2.27). Higher PRS associated with lower baseline cognition and faster decline (p\u00a0<\u00a00.05). PRS conferred greater ADRD risk in AAs and comparable rates of cognitive decline, despite stronger discrimination in EUs, adding to the limited knowledge of genetic contributions to ADRD risk among AAs beyond APOE \u03b54 alleles.\n\nID: 42550422\nTitle: Plasma Extracellular Vesicles from Glioblastoma Patients Affect Phenotype and Activate Receptor Tyrosine Kinases in Glioblastoma Cells.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles are important transmitters of oncogenic signals between cancer cells. Despite numerous studies of vesicles from model glioblastoma (GBM) cells, information on the effects of vesicles from GBM patients on the development of model GB cells is lacking. In this study, plasma vesicles from healthy donors (HVs) and GBM patients (GVs) were studied to affect expression of differentiation (GFAP and GLT-1) and stemness (CD9 and CD133) markers and expression and activation of the oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases EGFR and PDGFR\u03b2 in GBM cells (primary GBM011 and model U251 MG cell lines) and rat and human normal astrocytes. GVs reduced GFAP expression in GBM011 cells and stimulated GFAP and CD9 expression in U251 MG cells. GVs increased EGFR and PDGFR\u03b2 expression in both GBM cell lines and enhanced EGFR (Y1086) and PDGFR\u03b2 (Y751) phosphorylation in U251 MG cells. HVs stimulated CD9 expression in U251 MG cells and PDGFR\u03b2 expression in GBM011 cells, but decreased EGFR and PDGFR\u03b2 expression in U251 MG cells. Thus, both GVs and HVs influence the GBM phenotype and receptor tyrosine kinase activation.\n\nID: 42549659\nTitle: Lower cardiac output is a risk factor for faster cerebral atrophy over a 11-year follow-up period in APOE-\u03b54 carriers.\nAbstract: Subclinical lower cardiac output (volume of blood pumped per minute) cross-sectionally relates to smaller cerebral gray matter volumes in older adults. This study relates cardiac output to longitudinal gray matter volumes among middle-aged and older adults over an 11-year period. Linear regression (cross-sectional) and mixed effects (longitudinal) models related baseline cardiac output to gray matter volume trajectory, adjusting for demographic factors. Secondary models tested cardiac output \u00d7 apolipoprotein E (APOE) -\u03b54 status interactions. Lower cardiac output related to smaller brain volumes (p-values\u00a0<\u00a00.04) in APOE-\u03b54 positive participants only. In longitudinal models, baseline cardiac output interacted with APOE-\u03b54 status (p\u00a0=\u00a00.006). Lower baseline cardiac output related to greater increase in inferior lateral ventricle volume over time in APOE-\u03b54 carriers (p\u00a0=\u00a00.01) only. Results suggest among APOE-\u03b54 carriers, subclinical cardiac dysfunction relates to greater neurodegeneration cross-sectionally and longitudinally. However, results must be interpreted with caution and replicated.\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.

Microglia, the CNS resident immune cells, dynamically transition between protective and pathological states during AD progression. Recent advances in single-cell sequencing and metabolomics reveal that microglial roles extend beyond simple M1/M2 polarization. This review synthesizes these advances into a framework integrating microglial plasticity, metabolic reprogramming, and intercellular communication in AD. Methods: We reviewed recent (2020-2026) studies on microglial biology in AD, focusing on DAM (disease-associated microglia) ontogeny, metabolic reprogramming, immune checkpoints, and glial crosstalk. Results: Microglia exhibit spatiotemporal heterogeneity, shifting from protective phagocytic phenotypes (M2, DAM1/2) in early AD to pro-inflammatory and exhausted states (M1, terminal inflammatory microglia [TIM], lipid droplet-accumulating microglia [LDAM]) as pathology advances. Key pathways-TREM2/SYK phagocytosis, Piezo1 mechanotransduction, TAM (Tyro3, Axl, Mer) receptor signaling, and metabolic regulators (HK2, iron, APOE4-driven lipid metabolism)-orchestrate these transitions. Microglia also interact with astrocytes, T cells, and peripheral immune cells via IL-3, complement C3, MHC-I and MHC-II, forming glial-immune networks that modulate A\u03b2 clearance, tau propagation, and synaptic integrity. Conclusions: Precisely targeting microglial functional states, rather than broad immunosuppression, is a promising disease-modifying strategy for AD. Future therapies should integrate metabolic reprogramming, glial network regulation, and immune checkpoint modulation to preserve protective microglial phenotypes in early AD while suppressing pathological activation and exhaustion in advanced disease.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42505400 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42498931 for the quote: \"Reactive astrogliosis develops more rapidly and spreads more extensively, compared to the reactive microglia response following this small infarct.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

In humans, even small, silent strokes can trigger these pathologies, which can spread to brain regions far beyond the infarct and persist chronically, ultimately worsening prognosis and increasing the risk for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The cause of this pathology is unknown, but reactive astrocytes and microglia are likely contributors. Here, we describe an optimized short-duration middle cerebral artery occlusion model that produces a clinically relevant small stroke mostly confined to subcortical regions, similar to many silent strokes in humans. We termed this model the mild subcortical infarct (MSCI). We then mapped the spatiotemporal extent of reactive astrocytes and microglia during the sub-acute period (1, 3, and 7\u2009days) following MSCI. We observed that reactive astrogliosis develops more rapidly and spreads more extensively, compared to the reactive microglia response following this small infarct. Microglial depletion resulted in larger infarct sizes but did not prevent reactive astrocytes. Aging mice exposed to MSCI exhibited a comparably strong response of reactive astrocytes and microglia as young mice. Lastly, reactive astrocytes persisted for at least nine months after MSCI. We propose that this mild ischemia model is valuable for examining the chronic effects of subcortical stroke. It may be especially useful for investigating the functional impact of reactive astrogliosis in regions distal from the primary injury site.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42498931 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42549510 for the quote: \"Isoeugenol... activated Nrf2 in AD neuronal cells (likely involving AKT signaling)\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Nrf2 is a master controller of homeostatic functions whose activity is compromised in AD. Most pharmacological Nrf2 activators are electrophilic molecules that covalently modify cysteine residues in the thiol-rich Keap1, and many are Michael acceptors, such as low-molecular-weight (LMW) skin allergens. However, LMW allergens-induced Nrf2 activation in a pharmacological setting has only recently attracted attention, exemplified by the clinical success of Dimethyl Fumarate. Hence, we investigated, for the first time, the potential of the skin allergen Isoeugenol to activate Nrf2 and reverse selected AD hallmarks, both in&nbsp;vitro and in&nbsp;vivo, in AD-specific models. In&nbsp;vitro studies were performed using microglia cells exposed to LPS and neuronal cells overexpressing human APP with Swedish mutation, to evaluate Isoeugenol's potential in decreasing neuroinflammation and activating the Nrf2 pathway, respectively. In&nbsp;vivo studies were conducted in 10-month-old AD double-transgenic mice (APP/PS1), which were intranasally administered Isougenol. Isoeugenol's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, and its effect on mice cognition were evaluated. The results showed that Isoeugenol (1) activated Nrf2 in AD neuronal cells (likely involving AKT signaling); (2) exhibited antioxidant and Nrf2-dependent anti-inflammatory activity, which was abolished after Nrf2 silencing; (3) exhibited good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles; (4) reduced the levels of A\u03b2 peptides in&nbsp;vitro and in&nbsp;vivo; (5) reduced triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in treated mice; and (6) improved the memory deficits in old mice. This is the first study reporting Isoeugenol's intranasal administration, and on specific AD mice models. Overall, the results reinforce Isoeugenol as a pleiotropic molecule, with great potential for AD treatment.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42549510 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42541636 for the quote: \"Glial cells... are essential for maintaining ALP homeostasis, promoting proteostasis, and modulating neuroinflammatory responses.\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Glial cells, comprising microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, serve as key immune regulators in the central nervous system, where they are essential for maintaining ALP homeostasis, promoting proteostasis, and modulating neuroinflammatory responses. Here, we systematically review the regulatory roles of glial ALP in AD pathology, emphasizing its involvement in amyloid accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic impairment, white matter damage, and mitochondrial as well as other organelle dysfunction, and provide an in-depth analysis of key signaling pathways including TFEB, mTOR, and NLRP3. Furthermore, we outline therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring lysosomal function, regulating autophagic flux, and suppressing inflammation, along with a discussion of the multi-target regulatory potential of acupuncture and natural bioactive agents. We also highlight emerging ALP-associated biomarkers and their potential utility in early diagnosis and treatment response assessment. The objective of this review is to uncover the mechanistic interplay between glial ALP dysregulation and the pathological cascade of AD, offering a conceptual framework for the development of novel therapeutics that integrate neuroprotection with immune modulation.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42541636 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42530052 for the quote: \"Neurotrophic factors (NTFs)... play a central role in neuronal survival, plasticity, and regeneration.\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Despite their distinct etiologies and temporal profiles, stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), converge on a common pathophysiological phenotype characterized by excitotoxicity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and neuronal apoptosis. Neurotrophic factors modulate these pathological cascades through tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) receptors, p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), and related signaling pathways, thereby supporting neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and synaptogenesis. Experimental evidence from preclinical models demonstrates robust beneficial effects of neurotrophin-based interventions in stroke, TBI, AD, and PD across protein, gene, and cell-based strategies. However, clinical translation remains severely limited. Early-phase clinical trials of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated GDNF and neurturin gene therapy for PD, ex vivo NGF gene therapy for AD, and BDNF gene therapy for AD have confirmed acceptable safety profiles but yielded modest or inconsistent efficacy, largely due to constraints in brain delivery, the need for invasive neurosurgical procedures, restricted target coverage, suboptimal control of expression, and marked patient heterogeneity. Consequently, the principal barrier to clinical success is not biological validity, but the lack of safe, effective and scalable delivery platforms capable of bypassing or functionally modulating the BBB. In this review we synthesize shared pathophysiological mechanisms linking stroke, TBI and NDDs; examine the biology, receptor systems, and signaling pathways of key neurotrophic factors; summarize preclinical evidence for their therapeutic potential; and critically evaluate current delivery strategies, including viral vectors, lipid nanoparticles, exosomes, cell-based therapies, small-molecule mimetics, and intranasal administration. We conclude that overcoming delivery barriers through development of improved viral and non-viral platforms, minimally invasive administration routes, controllable expression systems, and rational patient stratification based on disease stage and biomarkers will be essential to fully realize the neuroprotective and neuroregenerative potential of neurotrophin-based therapies for acute and chronic brain disorders.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42530052 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42511827 for the quote: \"B-mEVs attenuated hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in CDA-HFD-fed mice\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Milk-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain bioactive microRNAs and have recently attracted attention as modulators of intestinal homeostasis. This study investigated the effect of bovine milk-derived extracellular vesicles (B-mEVs) in ameliorating MASH by improving intestinal barrier function. C57BL/6J mice fed a choline-deficient amino acid-defined high-fat diet (CDA-HFD) were orally treated with B-mEVs, and therapeutic effects were evaluated. Liver histology, fibrosis, portal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels, intestinal permeability, and gut microbiota composition were evaluated. The direct effects of B-mEVs on intestinal barrier function were assessed using palmitic acid-stimulated Caco-2 cells. Small RNA sequencing and microRNA enrichment analyses were performed to characterize B-mEV cargo. B-mEV treatment attenuated hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in CDA-HFD-fed mice and reduced serum aminotransferase levels, portal LPS concentrations, hepatic macrophage accumulation, and hepatic TLR4/NF-\u03baB signaling activation. Meanwhile, B-mEVs restored intestinal tight junction proteins, including ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1, and improved intestinal permeability in vivo. In Caco-2 cells, B-mEVs attenuated palmitic acid-induced barrier dysfunction and suppressed myosin light chain kinase expression. Gut microbiota analysis revealed partial restoration of Akkermansia abundance after B-mEV administration. Furthermore, to explore the molecular basis of these protective effects, small RNA sequencing demonstrated enrichment of regulatory microRNAs, including let-7a-5p, and pathway analyses identified associations with intestinal barrier and inflammatory signaling pathways. B-mEVs ameliorated CDA-HFD-induced steatohepatitis by restoring intestinal barrier integrity and suppressing gut-derived LPS/TLR4 inflammatory signaling. These findings suggested that milk EVs may represent a novel gut-liver axis-targeted therapeutic strategy for MASH.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42511827 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42505375 for the quote: \"We show that the induced neuroinflammation, lipid dysregulation, and neurodegeneration can be ameliorated using small molecules.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

The disease is clinically diagnosed by the presence of \u03b2-amyloid (A\u03b2), hyperphosphorylated tau, and neurodegeneration. Animal models serve as an indispensable tool to understanding AD pathogenesis and evaluating potential therapeutic approaches. However, despite the development of more than 200 rodent models, species-specific differences limit the translational relevance. Brain organoids generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the potential to bridge the gap between transgenic mouse models and clinical trials in human patients. Herein, we describe a robust stimulus-based neuroimmune organoid model that demonstrates neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and lipid dysregulation with AD-relevant pathological markers. Using planar organoids containing neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular cells, we performed in-depth characterization of the induced AD-like phenotype using supernatant proteomic analysis, immunofluorescence staining, NfL and GFAP release, scRNAseq, bulk RNAseq, and pathway analysis both acutely (24 h) and chronically (7 days). Furthermore, we show that the induced neuroinflammation, lipid dysregulation, and neurodegeneration can be ameliorated using small molecules. This defined inducible model system presents an opportunity for drug discovery and development using a complex multicellular brain microenvironment derived from human iPSCs.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42505375 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42580438 for the quote: \"Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine... have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy.\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

This approach has shown potential in the treatment of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and acute psychiatric conditions, as well as in emergencies such as anxiety attacks and migraine episodes. Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine, among other drugs, have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy. In addition, FDA-approved intranasal products indicated for central nervous system disorders, including diazepam and midazolam for seizure management, and triptans for migraine, demonstrate the growing clinical relevance of intranasal drug delivery. Both preclinical and clinical studies have reported encouraging outcomes, particularly when intranasal delivery is combined with nanoformulations and specialised delivery devices designed to enhance olfactory deposition. Intranasal administration is non-invasive, painless, and may improve patient adherence while enhancing brain bioavailability. Nevertheless, further well-designed clinical studies are required to establish the long-term safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of this delivery strategy.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42580438 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42521027 for the quote: \"Advances in retinal imaging... have identified structural, vascular, and functional abnormalities in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage AD.\"\n  FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

While AD research has traditionally focused on the brain, increasing evidence suggests that the retina undergoes pathological remodeling that shares features with cerebral changes. Advances in retinal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, and hyperspectral approaches, have identified structural, vascular, and functional abnormalities in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage AD. This supports the potential utility of the retina as a non-invasive biomarker for detecting neurodegenerative processes. Furthermore, postmortem studies have demonstrated accumulation of amyloid-\u03b2 and phosphorylated tau, increased vulnerability of retinal ganglion cells (RGC), synaptic alterations in the inner plexiform layer (IPL), and significant activation of glial cells and complement-mediated inflammatory pathways. Melanopsin RGCs appear to be selectively affected, suggesting a mechanistic link between retinal pathology and the circadian or sleep disturbances commonly observed in AD. This review synthesizes human clinical data from imaging, histopathological, and proteomic studies supporting retinal involvement in AD, with emphasis on convergent mechanisms, including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, microglial activation, and synaptic degeneration. Key limitations and sources of variation in current retinal biomarker studies, including cohort heterogeneity, comorbid ocular disease, and methodological variability, are discussed, and future directions are outlined to strengthen retinal diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring of visual system dysfunction in AD.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42521027 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42600992 for the quote: \"Although our previous study demonstrated that intranasal rhInsulin attenuated acute brain injury, neuronal apoptosis, and short-term sensorimotor deficits following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI), its effects on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes remained unclear.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Beyond its metabolic role, insulin functions as a neurotrophic and immunomodulatory factor in the developing brain. However, whether early enhancement of central insulin signaling can mitigate the neuroinflammatory and behavioral sequelae of HI remains unclear. Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to HI (right common carotid artery ligation followed by 90\u202fmin of 8% oxygen) at P10 and randomized to Sham&nbsp;+&nbsp;Vehicle, Sham&nbsp;+&nbsp;Insulin, HI&nbsp;+&nbsp;Vehicle, or HI&nbsp;+&nbsp;Insulin groups (n&nbsp;=&nbsp;12 males and 12 females/group). Recombinant human insulin (rhInsulin) (50\u202f\u03bcg/day) was administered intranasally once daily from P10 to P12, and behavioral and histological outcomes were assessed at P21-P25. Neonatal HI produced persistent ADHD-like behavioral abnormalities and deficits in neurobiological outcomes. Notably, sex-specific responses were observed: males exhibited greater deficits in inattention, spatial working memory, impulsivity, adaptive social development, myelination and vascularization, whereas females showed more pronounced increases in repetitive and compulsive-like behaviors. Intranasal rhInsulin treatment significantly attenuated HI-induced behavioral deficits by 100% and increased myelination (MBP+) by 64% in cingulate white matter, restored dendritic expression (MAP2+) by 56%, and reduced astrocytes (GFAP+) by 70% in hippocampal regions, indicating suppression of chronic astrogliosis neuroinflammation. Furthermore, intranasal rhInsulin increased cerebral vascular volume by 49% and normalized vessel diameters as assessed by micro-computed tomography (microCT) imaging, suggesting enhanced neurovascular integrity. While our previous study demonstrated that intranasal rhInsulin attenuated acute brain injury, neuronal apoptosis, and short-term sensorimotor deficits following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI), its effects on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes remained unclear. The present study addresses this important knowledge gap by evaluating juvenile behavioral and neurobiological outcomes through P25, including ADHD-like behaviors, social deficits, repetitive behaviors, white matter integrity, astrogliosis, cerebrovascular development, and sex-specific treatment responses. Collectively, these findings identify central insulin signaling as a key regulator of post-HI neuroimmune and neurodevelopmental trajectories and support intranasal insulin as a promising, minimally invasive therapeutic approach to reduce the long-term neurobehavioral sequelae of neonatal brain injury.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42600992 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery has emerged as a non-invasive strategy to transport therapeutics to the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, thereby partially bypassing the blood-brain barrier.\" (Source: 42507332)\n- \"Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines\" (Source: 42449389)\n- \"Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.\" (Source: 42576814)\n- \"PF exerts dual protective effects by activating cAMP/PKA/CREB to enhance synaptic plasticity and survival, while inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB to mitigate neuroinflammation.\" (Source: 42423842)\n- \"DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy.\" (Source: 42458512)\n- \"Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which is highly expressed in pericytes, is a critical regulator of neurovascular integrity;

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHE), a blood-brain barrier-permeable sesquiterpene lactone with established anti-inflammatory activity, represents a promising but unexplored therapeutic candidate for ALS/FTD. The therapeutic effects of DHE were evaluated in primary mouse and human astrocytes expressing ALS/FTD-associated RNA-binding protein pathology, ALS patient-derived fibroblasts, and primary cortical neurons exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. Drosophila models expressing mutant FUS or TDP-43 in glial cells were used to assess locomotor performance and survival. Molecular analyses examined nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent antioxidant responses, protein aggregation, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory mediator production. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured in patients with sporadic ALS. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy. DHE attenuated astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity and improved neuronal mitochondrial function in conditioned-medium assays. In addition, DHE reduced pathological FUS accumulation in FUS P525L-expressing astrocytes and in stress-challenged patient-derived fibroblasts. In Drosophila models, DHE significantly improved locomotor function and extended survival. Translationally, the chemokines CXCL10, CCL3, and CCL19 were elevated in plasma from patients with ALS, were induced by FUS or TDP-43 pathology in astrocytes, and were suppressed by DHE treatment, supporting the clinical relevance of the inflammatory pathways targeted by DHE. DHE mitigates astrocyte-driven neurotoxicity associated with ALS/FTD-related RNA-binding protein pathology by suppressing inflammatory signaling and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. The consistent therapeutic effects observed across mouse and human cellular models, patient-derived samples, and in vivo Drosophila models support further investigation of DHE as a potential therapeutic strategy for ALS/FTD and highlight astrocyte-mediated signaling pathways as actionable targets in neurodegenerative disease.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42458512 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Intranasal delivery is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for direct drug transport to the brain via the nose-to-brain pathway, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and improving therapeutic efficacy.\" (Source: 42580438)\n- \"Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1).\" (Source: 42449389)\n- \"Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.\" (Source: 42576814)\n- \"Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1\" (Source: 42525165)\n- \"DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy.\" (Source: 42458512)\n- \"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.\" (Source: 42614391)\n- \"In the lumbar spinal cord, SLPI showed a transient initial increase but declined sharply by the end-stage;

The provided literature independently supports the mechanism: intranasal delivery platforms, ApoE peptide functionalization, LRP1 targeting, and the resulting suppression of the NF-\u03baB inflammatory axis in CNS disorders.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific literature demonstrates that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be engineered to bypass the blood-brain barrier via intranasal administration. Targeted delivery to LRP1 receptors in the brain, achieved through ligands like ApoE peptides, facilitates downstream suppression of the NF-\u03baB neuroinflammatory cascade, providing a therapeutic avenue for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nNeurodegenerative conditions such as AD and ALS are increasingly framed as systemic disorders characterized by chronic neuroinflammation. Intranasal delivery is increasingly recognised as a promising strategy for direct drug transport to the brain via the nose-to-brain pathway, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and improving therapeutic efficacy. Research demonstrates that LRP1 serves as a critical signaling hub; functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). This convergence of LRP1 targeting and NF-\u03baB inhibition is supported by broad evidence across these disorders. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   **Targeted Engineering:** Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting.\n*   **Vesicle Versatility:** Exosomes are naturally occurring extracellular vesicles that have emerged as promising bio-inspired nanocarriers for the treatment of neurological disorders owing to their intrinsic biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.\n*   **Metabolic Reprogramming:** LEVs-SIRT2-KD were readily internalized by microglia in vivo following intranasal delivery.\n*   **Cholesterol Coupling:** Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1.\n*   **Inflammatory RNA:** Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes.\n*   **Proteinopathy Neutralization:** 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.\n*   **Complement Cascade:** The complement cascade is closely related to AD-associated pathological processes; however, the precise mechanisms underlying its contributions remain incompletely elucidated.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

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

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis."

Extracellular communication through astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) has received growing interest in association with astrocytopathies. However, to what extent ADEVs contribute to NMOSD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, through proteomic screening of patient-derived ADEVs, we observed an increase in apolipoprotein E (APOE)-rich ADEVs in patients with AQP4-Abs-positive NMOSD. Intracerebral injection of the APOE-mimetic peptide APOE130-149 attenuated microglial reactivity, neuroinflammation, and brain lesions in a mouse model of NMOSD. The protective effect of APOE in NMOSD pathogenesis was further established by the exacerbated lesion volume in APOE-deficient mice, which could be rescued by exogenous APOE administration. Genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. The transfusion ADEVs derived from patients with NMOSD and healthy controls also alleviated astrocyte loss, reactive microgliosis, and demyelination in NMOSD mice. The slightly larger beneficial effect of patient-derived ADEVs as compared to ADEVs from healthy controls was further augmented in APOE-/- mice. These results indicate that APOE from astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles could mediate disease-modifying astrocyte-microglia cross-talk in NMOSD."

We recruited patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with DAS. We then compared the levels and potential efficacies of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 between the two groups. We subsequently conducted cytological experiments and experiments with ApoE-/-\u00a0mice to further explore the underlying mechanisms involved. The serological analysis revealed that the levels of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 were significantly higher in the DAS group than in the DM group and that the eHsp90\u03b1 level was correlated with GRP78 level. The association and preliminary discriminative performance of the combination of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 levels were appeared higher than that of either marker alone. In addition, GRP78 plays a mediating role in the relationship between eHsp90\u03b1 and DAS. Furthermore, the expression of GRP78 was higher in both diabetic ApoE-/- mice and DAS patients than in control ApoE-/- mice and AS patients. Cytological experiments revealed that eHsp90\u03b1 induced endothelial barrier dysfunction mediated by ER stress via the LRP1 receptor. Our findings suggest that eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 are associated with diabetic atherosclerosis and may be associated biomarkers with potential discriminative value, although further validation is required. The eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. However, further large-scale and longitudinal studies are required to validate these findings."

However, effective therapeutic strategies are still lacking. Imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Given the established link between dysregulated lipid metabolism and amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) aggregation, we investigated whether chicoric acid (CA), a dietary polyphenol with reported lipid-modulating properties, could mitigate A\u03b2 pathology by modulating lipid metabolism in 5xFAD transgenic mice. In the brain, we found that CA upregulated the expression of liver X receptor Beta (LXR-\u03b2) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in 5xFAD mice. Through this pathway, it promoted apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipidation and enhanced the expression of A\u03b2-clearance proteins (IDE and LRP1). Notably, in the periphery, CA reshaped the gut microbiota in 5xFAD mice, which reduced serum neurotoxic bile acid levels and preserved the integrity of the peripheral A\u03b2 clearance system. Together, our study first demonstrated that CA globally regulated lipid homeostasis to alleviate A\u03b2 pathology by coordinating cerebral cholesterol efflux with peripheral bile acid metabolism. The findings facilitated exploring active compounds from traditional Chinese medicine that may reduce A\u03b2 deposition by targeting lipid metabolism pathways."

Interestingly, in vitro studies showed that PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations does not affect inflammation burden in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells, whereas it increases the content of exosomal miR-10b secreted by macrophages that have engulfed apoptotic cells (efferocytic macrophages). This study was aimed at investigating whether the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of PCA in arterial endothelial cells was due to the uptake of efferocytic macrophage exosomal miR-10b. A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b."

Detection of AD-related changes via blood-based biomarkers would enable critical therapeutic interventions early in disease progression.

However, the regulatory role of MSCs in inflammatory atherosclerosis and the molecular mechanisms underlying their anti-inflammatory properties have largely remained elusive. Differential ultracentrifugation was performed to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs). An ApoE knockout atherosclerotic animal model was employed to investigate the regulatory effect of MenSC-EVs on inflammatory atherosclerosis. miRNA microarray screening analyses were conducted to identify potential effectors in MenSC-EVs that play a key role in the suppression of atherosclerosis mediated by the EVs. We demonstrated the remarkable potential of MenSC-EVs in alleviating atherosclerosis through the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. miR-574-5p serves as a crucial effector molecule transported by MenSC-EVs, suppressing endothelial inflammation and promoting nitric oxide production. This regulation contributes to the attenuation of atherosclerosis by regulating the abundance of c-Rel. The miR-574-5p/c-Rel axis shows significant clinical relevance to atherosclerosis.

Franco, used in traditional medicine, contains neuroactive compounds. This study evaluated the effects of P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs in rodent models of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. EVs were isolated by differential ultracentrifugation, characterized by electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis, and their bioactive components identified by GC -MS. Uptake was assessed in PC12 cells. Behavioral and biochemical effects were tested in mice subjected to chronic restraint stress (CRS), chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia. Key outcomes included social interaction, sucrose preference, Morris water maze performance, sleep parameters, neurotransmitter levels (5-HT, GABA), and inflammatory markers. P. orientalis EVs exhibited bilayer vesicle morphology (\u223c100 nm) and contained abundant volatile compounds, particularly \u03b1-pinene. They were internalized by PC12 cells and reduced corticosterone-induced injury. In vivo, intranasal EV administration alleviated anxiety-like behaviors in CRS mice, restored sucrose preference and cognition in CUMS mice, and improved sleep onset and duration in PCPA-induced insomnia. Across models, EVs normalized serum and hippocampal 5-HT and GABA levels, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and increased TGF-\u03b2 expression. P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs exert significant anxiolytic, antidepressant, and soporific effects through multimodal mechanisms involving neurotransmitter regulation and anti-inflammatory activity.

The aim of this study was to map the distributions of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) and other synaptic proteins in the brain and the brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) of AD patients, analyze their associations with A\u03b2, tau, and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 allele, and investigate the biological role of SV2A. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of BDEVs and immunohistochemistry staining were conducted on postmortem brain samples from 57 AD patients and 48 nondemented controls.

SV2A emerged as a central hub with interactions with proteins from subnetworks related to synaptic vesicle formation and fusion. SV2A levels in brain tissues and BDEVs are reduced in AD patients, particularly in those carrying the APOE \u03b54 allele, and are correlated with A\u03b2 and tau pathologies.

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival.

APOE is involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, phospholipids and other lipids, synaptic function and neuroinflammation in the CNS. One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2). The APOE gene exists in three common isoforms: APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4, with distinct structural and functional properties. The three isoforms of APOE vary in their potential to bind and transport lipids and cholesterol, receptor affinity and clearance of A\u03b2. Among the three isoforms, APOE4 is one of the strongest risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while APOE2 exerts a protective role highlighting the functional divergence among isoforms in CNS physiology. The functions of APOE are exerted through binding of APOE with members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, including LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, and APOER2. So, approaches that potentiate the protective effects of APOE, like APOE mimetics, ABCA1 agonists, targeting APOE receptors like LDLR, LRP1, APOER2, and TREM2, might offer significant therapeutic benefits in Alzheimer's disease."

The present review article evaluated emerging A\u03b2-directed therapies, focusing on mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety, and regulatory progress. The recent approvals of lecanemab and donanemab offered the first convincing evidence that reducing A\u03b2 burden can modestly slow cognitive decline in early AD. Beyond these first-generation monoclonal antibodies, the pipeline includes next-generation antibodies with enhanced brain penetration (trontinemab), therapies designed also for presymptomatic intervention (remternetug tested for secondary prevention), and novel approaches targeting galectin-3 to disrupt A\u03b2 aggregation and neuroinflammation. Active immunotherapies like UB-311 and small molecules such as ALZ-801, avoiding amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), broaden the therapeutic horizon with potentially safer and more accessible options, but with no proven efficacy. Clinical benefits for A\u03b2-centric therapies are modest, ARIA poses ongoing safety concerns, and high costs coupled with intensive monitoring limit accessibility. Regulators have begun to restrict approval to genetically defined subgroups according to apolipoprotein E genotype, underscoring the need for precision medicine. Therefore, while A\u03b2-centric therapies are incremental, they represent essential steps toward combination and precision strategies in the treatment of AD. Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) is a growing global health problem, with no cure currently available. Most existing treatments only relieve symptoms and do not slow the underlying disease process. One of the earliest and most important biological changes in AD is the buildup of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), a protein that forms plaques in the brain. For this reason, many new drugs have been designed to remove A\u03b2 or prevent it from accumulating. In recent years, several A\u03b2-targeting therapies have shown that they can successfully reduce amyloid plaques in the brain. These include monoclonal antibodies given by infusion or injection, vaccines that stimulate the immune system, and oral drugs designed to block the formation of toxic A\u03b2 species. Some of these treatments have reached late-stage clinical trials, and a few have received regulatory approval in certain regions. However, while these drugs clearly reduce amyloid levels, their effects on memory and daily functioning are modest, especially when used after symptoms have already appeared. In addition, treatment can be associated with side effects such as brain swelling or small brain bleeds, requiring frequent medical monitoring, costly for healthcare systems. Most evidence so far comes from carefully controlled randomized clinical trials, and real-world experience remains limited. Current research is therefore shifting toward earlier treatment, including prevention in people at high risk, improved drug delivery methods, and combination approaches that also target other disease processes such as tau pathology, inflammation, and vascular or metabolic changes. New blood-based biomarkers are also making it easier to diagnose AD earlier and to select patients more precisely. Overall, A\u03b2\u2013centered therapies represent an important scientific advance, but they are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Future progress in AD treatment will depend on better understanding how amyloid may interact with other brain changes, identifying the right patients at the right time, and developing safer, more affordable, and more comprehensive therapeutic strategies."

We present a multi-compartment transcriptomic atlas of 9.6-month-old PS19 tauopathy mice compared with wild-type (WT) controls (n = 8/group), profiling cortical mRNA, cortical non-coding RNA (ncRNA), and plasma small extracellular vesicle (pEV) ncRNA. In the PS19 cortex, mRNA sequencing identified 917 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with microglial deconvolution revealing an association toward disease-associated microglia (DAM) gene signature and downregulation of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and cholesterol biosynthesis relative to WT. Cortical ncRNA profiling identified 466 differentially expressed ncRNAs, primarily circular RNAs (circRNAs; n = 331). In pEVs, 822 ncRNAs were differentially abundant, of which 657 circRNAs were identified in PS19 compared to WT mice. Cross-compartment integration suggest that pEV miRNA gene targets functionally mirrored genes involved in the brain's inflammatory and metabolic failure. We identified a preliminary candidate signature of 33 ncRNAs, including miR-5114 (up in brain, down in pEV), circ_0008242 and circ_0002153 (up in brain and pEV), and circ_0007688 (down in brain and pEV), differentially enriched across both brain and periphery in PS19 compared to WT mice. These results suggest that the pEV non-coding landscape may partially reflect central tau-mediated changes in the brain transcriptional response. This study identifies circRNAs as the most numerically perturbed ncRNA class and provides a foundation for potential peripheral indicators of central brain tau pathology."

Epidemiological studies associate physical exercise with reduced AD risk (30-45%), yet mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. Preclinical studies demonstrate that exercise-induced myokines (Irisin, BDNF, Cathepsin B) modulate AD pathology by: (1) attenuating amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)/tau accumulation, (2) suppressing neuroinflammation, and (3) enhancing synaptic plasticity. However, human exercise interventions show conflicting results influenced by APOE genotype, age, and exercise modality. Associative human data suggest that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exemplifies pleiotropy-affording neuroprotective effects in acute contexts but potentially detrimental effects in states of chronic inflammation. Therapeutic hurdles include blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, pleiotropic risks, and patient heterogeneity. Emerging concepts such as combinatorial approaches (nanocarriers, exercise mimetics) and biomarker-driven trials are proposed as hypothetical future strategies; however, these remain unvalidated and require substantial preclinical development before implemented in clinical care. This narrative review is structured around three thematic sections: mechanistic foundations of myokine neuroprotection, translational barriers to therapeutic development, and a strategic framework for future research. The muscle-brain axis represents a compelling but complex therapeutic target. Based on current preclinical and correlational human evidence, future research should prioritize mechanistic rigor, standardized biomarker validation, and clinically viable delivery strategies. Notably, several approaches discussed herein-including nanocarrier delivery systems, exercise mimetics, and combinatorial myokine cocktails-remain speculative and are presented as future research directions rather than established therapeutic interventions."

However, the mechanisms governing immune-liver crosstalk in this context remain poorly defined. Proline/serine-rich coiled-coil protein 1 (PSRC1) is a known regulator of cholesterol metabolism, but whether macrophage-derived PSRC1 influences hepatic functions via intercellular communication is unknown. The relationship between macrophage PSRC1 and hepatic PCSK9 was examined in patients with coronary artery disease and murine models. We employed AAV6-mediated macrophage-specific targeting and whole-body Psrc1\u207b/\u207b mice to evaluate cell-type-specific effects. Macrophage-hepatocyte communication was investigated using transwell systems and genetic blockade of EV secretion (sh-Rab27a). The selectivity of EV cargo loading was validated by protease protection assays and TSG101 interaction analysis. In vivo EV tracking (DiI-labeling) and ChIP-qPCR for DNMT recruitment were performed to elucidate the systemic and epigenetic mechanisms. Macrophage PSRC1 expression was significantly reduced in atherosclerotic conditions and inversely correlated with hepatic PCSK9 levels. Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models. PSRC1 was found to interact with TSG101 to promote the selective loading of MBD2 into the EV lumen, a process confirmed by protease protection. These MBD2-enriched EVs were preferentially sequestered by the liver after systemic administration. Mechanistically, transferred MBD2 functioned as an epigenetic scaffold, recruiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1/3A) to the PCSK9 promoter to drive CpG hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. In vivo, administration of MBD2-enriched EVs significantly reduced hepatic PCSK9 protein, lowered plasma cholesterol, and enhanced plaque stability in ApoE\u207b/\u207b mice. Our findings uncover a novel macrophage-liver epigenetic axis where macrophage PSRC1 controls systemic cholesterol homeostasis by regulating the EV-mediated delivery of MBD2. This \"Reader-recruits-Writer\" mechanism provides a refined understanding of immune-metabolic crosstalk and suggests that engineered EV-based MBD2 delivery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for ASCVD."

As populations age worldwide, the epidemiological burden of AD is expected to more than double by 2050, surpassing 150\u00a0million affected individuals. While genetic susceptibility, particularly the apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE4) allele, modulates individual risk, most AD cases are late-onset and shaped by complex interactions between genetic background and modifiable environmental exposures. Environmental pollution has emerged as a critical and potentially preventable contributor to this burden. The 2024 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care has identified 14 modifiable risk factors, with air pollution explicitly included. Drawing on evidence from human epidemiological cohorts, experimental animal models, and in vitro neuronal/glial systems, the present review aims to synthesize mechanistic evidence linking environmental pollutant classes to AD-relevant neuropathology. The review examines the growing body of evidence linking major categories of environmental pollutants (ambient particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and emerging contaminants including microplastics and nanoplastics) to AD risk and pathogenesis. Special attention is given to studies showing that the characteristic neuropathological features of AD may emerge in children and young adults chronically exposed to heavily polluted urban environments, which highlights critical concerns about when and how these changes develop throughout life. Shared mechanistic pathways through which environmental pollutants promote neurodegeneration are discussed, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, tau kinase dysregulation, epigenetic reprogramming, and gut-brain axis dysbiosis. The review also examines the amplifying role of biological aging on neurotoxic vulnerability and proposes a comprehensive, multi-level prevention framework addressing individual exposure reduction, clinical risk identification, and population-level policy interventions."

As extracellular vesicles may serve as potential clinical delivery devices, we hypothesized that CD146 extracellular vesicles injection could be atheroprotective. We generated and purified extracellular vesicles from mouse endothelial cells deleted or not with CD146. In vitro stimulation of macrophages with CD146 extracellular vesicles induced macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype through the STAT3/IL-10 axis, whereas CD146-negative extracellular vesicles did not have any effect. We next tracked the trafficking of labeled extracellular vesicles after intravenous injection in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice and visualized their incorporation into atheroma. After bi-weekly injections of extracellular vesicles for 6 weeks, only ApoE-/- mice treated with CD146 extracellular vesicles exhibited a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque, associated with an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. We thus propose that treatment with CD146 extracellular vesicles could constitute a novel therapeutic option for reducing atherosclerosis."

Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulated lipid metabolism is not merely a metabolic disturbance but a critical modulator of inflammatory responses driving AD pathogenesis. The brain, one of the most lipid-enriched organs, relies on tightly controlled lipid homeostasis to maintain neuronal function and synaptic integrity. Alterations in fatty acid composition, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms, lipoprotein lipase activity, and lipid-derived signaling mediators profoundly reshape microglial activation states and inflammatory cascades. Obesity, insulin resistance, and gut microbiota dysbiosis further exacerbate systemic and central lipid imbalance, amplifying neuroinflammatory signaling through cytokine networks and blood-brain barrier disruption. Notably, polyunsaturated fatty acids and lipid mediators exert dual immunomodulatory effects, influencing \u03b2-amyloid aggregation, oxidative stress, and microglial polarization.

Currently, effective treatments for VaD remain limited, underscoring the clinical significance of developing novel, multi-targeted therapeutic strategies. In recent years, more and more studies have shown the connection between lung and brain, so we used nasal administration of probiotics to observe the improvement of cognitive function in VaD rats. Because the safety of the organism is uncertain, the study develop a bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) drug delivery system that delivers the key bioactive metabolite asperuloside (ASP) by modulating the microbiota-lung-brain axis, aiming to improve brain targeting and therapeutic outcomes. The results show that nasal administration of L. salivarius significantly ameliorated cognitive impairment, mitigated neuroinflammation, restored blood-brain barrier and lung barrier function, and modulated lung flora in VaD rats. Metabolomics analysis identified ASP as the principal active metabolite, although its efficacy as a standalone agent was constrained. The EA system effectively facilitated ASP delivery to brain tissue, yielding neuroprotective and barrier-repair effects. Collectively, our study shows that L. salivarius can modulate the pathophysiological processes of VaD via the \"microbiota-lung-brain axis.\" Its EVs serve as effective vehicles for delivering active metabolites, offering a novel integrated therapeutic approach for VaD involving microbial metabolism delivery."

However, its advancement is significantly limited by the lack of effective and biocompatible targeted delivery systems. Here, we introduce mitofusin-decorated extracellular vesicles (MFNEVs) as a natural-sourced nanoplatform for efficient mitochondrial delivery of various cytoplasm-sensitive macromolecular cargos. The surface-displayed mitofusin proteins MFN1 and MFN2 direct MFNEVs to localize to mitochondria, as confirmed by confocal imaging and gel electrophoresis analysis. In both in vitro and in vivo models, siRNA-loaded MFNEVs effectively reduce the expression of mitochondrial DNA-encoded genes. Moreover, sgRNA-loaded MFNEVs can achieve CRISPR-based mitochondrial gene editing, resulting in a decreased mitochondrial DNA content. Mechanistic studies further reveal that the delivery is facilitated by the cooperation of the mitochondrial fusion machinery. These findings establish the feasibility and versatility of MFNEVs as a promising delivery solution for mitochondrial therapeutics."

Here, we advance a perspective that Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) act as active mediators bridging SARS-CoV-2 infection and neurodegenerative processes. As nanoscale messengers capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, EVs can transmit post-viral signals and orchestrate multi-target gene regulation in recipient cells through their microRNA (EV-miRNA) cargo. Our integrative analysis suggests that EV-miRNAs dysregulated in acute COVID-19, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's Disease (PD) converge on pathways governing neurovascular integrity, redox and metabolic homeostasis, and neuronal proteostasis. We propose that sustained dysregulation of these interconnected modules-driven by EV-mediated signalling-may underlie the perpetuation of neuro-PASC and accelerate neurodegeneration in susceptible individuals.

It is therefore time to move beyond the classical one protein-one disease paradigm and embrace models that explicitly incorporate heterotypic co-aggregation, mixed pathologies, and shared vulnerability pathways across age-related disorders.

No difference was observed for fraktaline, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3), and sCD40L in either cEVs or serum between SCD and control patients. Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, regression modeling, and correlations with cognitive performance, M-CSF levels in serum effectively distinguished individuals with SCD who converted to MCI from those who remained stable. Interestingly, combining M-CSF and cEVs A\u03b21-42 with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) cognitive scores provided an excellent classification for SCD converted to MCI up to 2 years prior to clinical diagnosis. Our findings support the potential value of integrating serum M-CSF levels with RAVLT performance and cEVs A\u03b21-42 concentrations into a multimodal biomarker panel for longitudinal monitoring of progressive neurocognitive impairment."

Traditional therapeutic strategies often face substantial limitations, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier, which restricts the delivery of pharmacological agents to the brain and consequently affects treatment effectiveness. In recent years, in order to enhance the efficacy of the central nervous system treatments, exosome-based approaches have gained interest. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) secreted by cells, present a feasible therapeutic strategy due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and transport bioactive molecules. Reflecting the traits of their parent cells (e.g., glioma stem cells and glioblastoma multiforme), exosomes can be isolated from body fluids, which enhances their clinical applicability. Additionally, intranasal delivery provides a non-invasive method to administer exosomes, using the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly target the brain. This method shows great promise in enhancing therapeutic efficacy for CNS disorders. However, challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance, enzymatic degradation, and limited bioavailability reduce efficacy. Advances in exosome engineering, nanocarrier systems, and novel delivery devices are under investigation to mitigate these constraints. However, clinical translation requires further research to guarantee safety, consistency, and scalability. In this context, intranasal exosome delivery holds considerable promise as a non-invasive strategy for central nervous system disorder treatment, contingent on overcoming the current biological and technical barriers."

Recent research underscores the significance of lipoproteins and the gut microbiota in the etiology of AD. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), particularly the E4 subtype, emerges as a key genetic risk factor, influencing oxidative stress, synaptic defects, glucose metabolism, and amyloid-\u03b2 clearance. Lipoprotein receptors, such as LRP-1, also influence the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, indicating potential for therapeutic applications. Novel therapies targeting lipoproteins, such as ALZ-801 and IDOL inhibitors, show promise in preclinical and clinical trials. Concurrently, the gut microbiome's impact on AD is increasingly recognized. Dysbiosis correlates with inflammation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and neurotransmitter imbalances. Gut-derived metabolites, including phenylalanine and isoleucine, promote Th1 cell activation and microglial dysfunction, exacerbating AD pathology. Interventions, like probiotics, GV-971, and polyphenols, demonstrate efficacy in restoring microbial balance and mitigating cognitive decline. Crucially, bidirectional interactions between lipoproteins and the gut microbiome are implicated in AD. ApoE genotypes influence gut microbial composition, while microbiota- derived short-chain fatty acids and endotoxins modulate lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation. These interactions, mediated via the gut-brain axis, highlight novel therapeutic avenues. Current FDA-approved AD drugs face limitations in efficacy and side effects, underscoring the need for innovative strategies targeting lipoprotein-gut microbiome crosstalk. Integrating insights into lipoprotein biology and gut microbiota dynamics may offer transformative potential for AD treatment, emphasizing combinatorial approaches to modulate these interconnected pathways. Further research is warranted to elucidate mechanistic links and translate preclinical findings into clinical applications."

Phloroglucinol, a polyphenolic antioxidant, has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in PD models but suffers from limited clinical applicability due to poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) exhibit neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties and serve as promising vehicles for targeted drug delivery across the BBB. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intranasally administered sEV-encased phloroglucinol (sEV-Phl) in a chronic MPTP rat model of PD. DPSC-derived sEV were isolated via density gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic-Light-Scattering (DLS), and CD marker expression. Phloroglucinol was encased in sEV (sEV-Phl) using sonication. Antioxidant properties were tested in vitro using an H2DCF.DA assay in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to 6-OHDA. Chronic MPTP-treated male Wistar rats received intranasal sEV-Phl, with motor and non-motor behaviours evaluated up to 4-weeks post-MPTP treatment. TH-positive neurons, neurogenesis (Ki67, BrdU and FOXA2), lipid-peroxidation, and neurotransmitter-levels were analyzed. sEV biodistribution was tracked via near-infrared imaging and localization in neuronal and glial cells was confirmed with PKH-26 labelling, with confocal-imaging further verifying localization in neuronal and glial cells. TNF-\u03b1 expression was assessed as a marker of neuroinflammation. sEV displayed high purity and homogeneity. sEV-Phl significantly reduced oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo, as indicated by decreased ROS and lipid peroxidation levels. sEV-Phl treated MPTP rats demonstrated marked improvement in motor and non-motor behaviours compared to MPTP rats. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased TH-positive neurons and enhanced neurogenesis in the SNpc of sEV-Phl-treated animals. Biodistribution studies confirmed efficient midbrain targeting of sEV, which were localized to dopaminergic-neurons, astrocytes and microglia. sEV-Phl also significantly reduced TNF-\u03b1 expression, indicating decreased neuroinflammation. This study provides the first instance of using DPSC-derived sEV as a delivery vehicle for phloroglucinol in a PD model. sEV-Phl demonstrated significant neuroprotective-effects, enhanced DA-neuron survival and neurogenesis, and reduced neuroinflammation. Intranasal delivery of sEV-Phl represents a promising non-invasive therapeutic strategy for PD, offering a dual benefit of antioxidative and neurogenic support."

OL loss is characterized by inflammation, immune cell activity, and a failure of remyelination due to oligodendrocyte dysfunction and death, ultimately leading to demyelination and axonal damage. Given their central role in maintaining CNS integrity, therapeutic strategies aimed at protecting or restoring OL function are essential. Moreover, the limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier to many therapeutic compounds remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for innovative delivery approaches. Among these, the intranasal (IN) route has emerged as a promising noninvasive strategy for targeting the CNS. Within this therapeutic framework, Transferrin (Tf), a glycoprotein involved in iron homeostasis, has been shown to promote both developmental myelination and remyelination by redistributing and delivering iron, an essential cofactor for OL maturation and oxidative metabolism. In parallel, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained increasing attention as mediators of intercellular communication and potential drug delivery vehicles to the brain, offering advantages such as minimal immunogenicity, efficient cellular uptake, and cargo protection from degradation.

In this study, the impact of drug characteristics, particularly lipophilicity, was evaluated to achieve a stable incorporation of model drugs into these lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs). This study explored the lipophilicity of flurbiprofen, a potential drug in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and its prodrug flurbiprofenaxetil across varying pH levels. Our findings highlight how flurbiprofen's lipophilicity was influenced by its protonation state, affecting its incorporation into LNPs and consequently its release behaviour under physiological conditions, while flurbiprofenaxetil showed minimal variations due to its chemical structure. We also investigated the interaction between lipoprotein mimicking nanoparticles and primary porcine brain capillary endothelial cells to improve drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Permeation studies indicated that modification with ApoE enhanced the bidirectional permeability of LNPs across the BBB through receptor-mediated transcytosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated and identified the uptake mechanism involving the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), allowing these LNPs to be recognized by the same receptors as endogenous lipoproteins. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of ApoE modified LNPs as a promising strategy for targeted drug delivery to the brain."

Of the 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2021, 3.8 million are women and 2.4 million are men. The strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD is apolipoprotein E-e4 (APOE-e4). Female APOE-e4 carriers develop AD more frequently than age-matched males and have more brain atrophy and memory loss. Consequently, biomarkers that are sensitive to biological risk factors may improve AD diagnostics and may provide insight into underlying mechanistic changes that could drive disease progression. Here, we have assessed the effects of sex and APOE-e4 on the miRNA cargo of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular vesicles (EVs) in AD. We used ultrafiltration (UF) combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to enrich CSF EVs (e.g., Flotillin+). CSF EVs were isolated from female and male AD or controls (CTLs) that were either APOE-e3,4 or -e3,3 positive (n = 7/group, 56 total). MiRNA expression levels were quantified using a custom TaqMan\u2122 array that assayed 190 miRNAs previously found in CSF, including 25 miRNAs that we previously validated as candidate AD biomarkers. We identified changes in the EV miRNA cargo that were affected by both AD and sex. In total, four miRNAs (miR-16-5p, -331-3p, -409-3p, and -454-3p) were significantly increased in AD vs. CTL, independent of sex and APOE-e4 status. Pathway analysis of the predicted gene targets of these four miRNAs with identified pathways was highly relevant to neurodegeneration (e.g., senescence and autophagy). There were also three miRNAs (miR-146b-5p, -150-5p, and -342-3p) that were significantly increased in females vs. males, independent of disease state and APOE-e4 status. We then performed a statistical analysis to assess the effect of APOE genotype in AD within each sex and found that APOE-e4 status affects different subsets of CSF EV miRNAs in females vs. males. Together, this study demonstrates the complexity of the biological factors associated with AD risk and the impact on EV miRNAs, which may contribute to AD pathophysiology."

An important role has emerged for small, non-coding RNA molecules known as microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative disorders. As epigenetic regulators, miRNAs possess the capacity to regulate and fine tune protein production by inhibiting translation. Several miRNAs, which include miR-146a, are elevated in the brain, CSF, and plasma of AD patients. miR-146a participates in pathways that regulate immune activation and has several mRNA targets which encode for proteins involved in cellular energy metabolism. An additional role for extracellular vesicles (EVs) has also emerged in the progression AD, as EVs can transfer functionally active proteins and RNAs from diseased to healthy cells. In the current study, we exposed various cell types present within the CNS to immunomodulatory molecules and observed significant upregulation of miR-146a expression, both within cells and within their secreted EVs. Further, we assessed the effects of miR-146a overexpression on bioenergetic function in primary rat glial cells and found significant reductions in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Lastly, we correlated miR-146a expression levels within various regions of the AD brain to disease staging and found significant, positive correlations. These novel results demonstrate that the modulation of miR-146a in response to neuroinflammatory stimuli may mediate the loss of mitochondrial integrity and function in cells, thereby contributing to the progression of beta-amyloid and tau pathology in the AD brain. Multiple inflammatory stimuli can upregulate miRNA-146a expression within neurons, mixed glial cells, and brain endothelial cells, which is either retained within these cells or released from them as extracellular vesicle cargo. The upregulation of miR-146a disrupts cellular bioenergetics in mixed glial cells. This mechanism may play a critical role in the neuroinflammatory response observed during Alzheimer's disease."

Some studies now link the pathway dysfunction of the EVs to apolipoprotein E gene variant (APOE \u03b54) and the risk of progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Increasing evidence indicates that these vesicles participate in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including immune regulation, tissue repair, tumor progression, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular homeostasis. Their distinctive biological properties have consequently generated considerable interest in their development as diagnostic tools, therapeutic agents, and drug-delivery platforms. Recent progress in exosome biology and biogenesis, together with technological advances in vesicle isolation, characterization, engineering, and large-scale production, has accelerated their preclinical development and early clinical translation. Nevertheless, substantial challenges-including donor-cell heterogeneity, low production yields, insufficiently standardized protocols, and regulatory uncertainty-must be addressed before widespread clinical implementation can be achieved. This narrative review integrates current knowledge of exosome biology, diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and engineering strategies. It further examines major translational barriers and outlines future priorities for advancing exosome-based technologies toward precision medicine."

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

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

Here, we isolated BDEVs from the prefrontal cortex of rats chronically exposed to morphine and performed integrated transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of EV cargo. Total RNA sequencing and unbiased proteomics identified morphine-associated changes enriched for pathways related to synaptic plasticity, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial function, and neurodegeneration. Notably, the synaptic plasticity regulator Arc was increased at the mRNA level, and the ER stress marker Hspa5 was upregulated at both transcript and protein levels. Morphine-derived BDEVs induced transcriptional alterations in na\u00efve cortical neurons, including changes in genes linked to synaptic remodeling and excitability.

These endogenous carriers offer several advantages over conventional nanocarriers, such as liposomes. These advantages include high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, making them a promising platform for targeted drug delivery. In this review, we systematically summarize the biological characteristics of exosomes, methods for their isolation and purification, strategies for drug loading (including endogenous and exogenous approaches), and surface engineering techniques (such as genetic engineering and chemical modification) to enhance targeting and therapeutic efficacy, based on a comprehensive PubMed literature search. We particularly focus on the modification of engineered exosomes as drug delivery systems in various clinical contexts, covering multiple diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue repair. Administration routes include oral, subcutaneous, intranasal, and intravenous delivery. While exosomes have shown promise in preclinical studies, challenges remain in terms of large-scale production, standardized isolation, drug loading efficiency, and safety evaluation. Herein, we aim to provide a theoretical foundation and suggest future directions for developing exosomes as a next-generation drug delivery platform."

The disease is clinically diagnosed by the presence of \u03b2-amyloid (A\u03b2), hyperphosphorylated tau, and neurodegeneration. Animal models serve as an indispensable tool to understanding AD pathogenesis and evaluating potential therapeutic approaches.

The provided literature supports the efficacy of intranasal delivery, the role of ApoE in LRP1-mediated regulation of inflammatory signaling, and the importance of metabolic rescue (including oxidative phosphorylation and lipid metabolism) in both AD and ALS.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nCurrent literature supports the conceptual framework that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can serve as biological carriers capable of bypassing the blood-brain barrier to modulate neuroinflammatory pathways. Intranasal delivery provides a rapid, non-invasive route to the central nervous system, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and first-pass metabolism. The pivotal signaling axis connecting these processes is the interaction between ApoE and LRP1. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. This is further validated by observations that genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. Furthermore, the eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. Metabolic dysfunction is a key contributor to disease pathogenesis, as imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Restoration of bioenergetics, specifically through modulation of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, is facilitated by therapeutic EV delivery, as seen in findings where uptake of these vesicles markedly enhanced microglial bioenergetics, driving coordinated upregulation of both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells.\n*   They mimicked the protective effect of recombinant ApoE3Ch on endothelial integrity by restoring \u03b2-catenin nuclear localization.\n*   Some of these differentially expressed miRNAs were associated with key AD-related comorbidities such as APOE genotype, age, and metabolic burden and were predicted to target genes within NF-\u03baB -regulated inflammatory pathways.\n*   We demonstrated the remarkable potential of MenSC-EVs in alleviating atherosclerosis through the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway.\n*   APOE \u03b54 carriers presented further reductions in SV2A levels compared with noncarriers.\n*   SeNExo penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via the apolipoprotein E and prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (APOE_LRP-1) interaction.\n*   In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons.\n*   One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2).\n*   Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Extracellular Hsp90\u03b1 (eHsp90\u03b1) and the ER stress marker GRP78 have been implicated in vascular injury; however, their roles in DAS remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 with DAS and explore the underlying mechanisms. We recruited patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with DAS. We then compared the levels and potential efficacies of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 between the two groups. We subsequently conducted cytological experiments and experiments with ApoE-/-\u00a0mice to further explore the underlying mechanisms involved. The serological analysis revealed that the levels of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 were significantly higher in the DAS group than in the DM group and that the eHsp90\u03b1 level was correlated with GRP78 level. The association and preliminary discriminative performance of the combination of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 levels were appeared higher than that of either marker alone. In addition, GRP78 plays a mediating role in the relationship between eHsp90\u03b1 and DAS. Furthermore, the expression of GRP78 was higher in both diabetic ApoE-/- mice and DAS patients than in control ApoE-/- mice and AS patients. Cytological experiments revealed that eHsp90\u03b1 induced endothelial barrier dysfunction mediated by ER stress via the LRP1 receptor. Our findings suggest that eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 are associated with diabetic atherosclerosis and may be associated biomarkers with potential discriminative value, although further validation is required. The eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. However, further large-scale and longitudinal studies are required to validate these findings.\n\nID: 42465338\nTitle: Trisomy 21 cerebral organoids exhibit Alzheimer's disease amyloid and apolipoprotein E co-pathologies.\nAbstract: Adults with Down syndrome (DS) develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain pathology by age 40 due to triplication of the Amyloid Precursor Protein ( APP ) gene on chromosome 21. Inheritance of the apolipoprotein E-e4 ( APOE4) allele of the APOE gene on chromosome 19 remains the greatest genetic risk factor for AD in the typical population, yet its role in DS-associated AD (DS-AD) neuropathogenesis in people with DS is unclear. We generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons, astrocytes, and cerebral organoids (COs) using cells from people with DS and from euploid individuals. Aged DS COs were smaller than aged euploid COs and showed robust amyloid-\u03b2 neuropathology that was positively correlated with the levels of apoE expression. We then captured extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the conditioned media of COs and observed a decrease in the levels of secreted AD-related proteins, including amyloid, contained within the EVs and in the media from which the EVs were isolated. We also identified distinct neuronal and astrocytic gene expression signatures in DS COs relative to euploid COs, including a set of genes known to interact with both APOE and APP at the gene and/or protein levels. Lastly, we determined that, despite differences in the expression levels of the specific genes involved, several common pathways were upregulated in T21 hiPSC-derived neurons, astrocytes, and COs, including apoptosis, the endolysosome, and structural stabilization pathways. Taken together, our findings provide novel insights into molecular mechanisms that may contribute to DS-AD and indicate that apoE plays an important role in the disease process.\n\nID: 42217698\nTitle: Multi-functionalized chitosan-Extracellular vesicles nanohybrid system for intranasal delivery of pApoE2 to attenuate age-related inflammation.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation in aging is a chronic, low-grade inflammatory state in the brain that worsens with age and is linked to neurodegeneration. It is characterized by elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, impaired microglial function, activated glia, and astrocytes. Higher ApoE2 expression in the brain attenuates neuroinflammation. The nano-hybrid-mediated approach was employed for effective intranasal (IN) delivery of a plasmid encoding ApoE2 (pApoE2) to investigate its effect on age-related neuroinflammation. The nanohybrid demonstrated enhanced pDNA loading (89.1%) compared to extracellular vesicles (EVs) (10.4%), was <230\u00a0nm in size, and was non-toxic to brain cells. The nanohybrid/pApoE2 complex demonstrated significantly higher (p\u00a0\u2264\u00a00.05) cellular transfection efficiency in primary astrocytes and neurons than EVs (12.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.8 and 10.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.5\u00a0ng/mg of protein, respectively). In vivo brain transfection via nanohybrid/pApoE2 showed significantly higher (p\u00a0\u2264\u00a00.05) ApoE expression across all treated groups, at 57.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a013.8\u00a0ng/mg of protein. Comparative analysis of pro-inflammatory cytokines in 3-month-old and 24-month-old mice revealed higher neuroinflammation in the older mice. The nanohybrid/pApoE2 complex-treated mice have shown a significant reduction in the TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-1\u03b2 expression in the brain, plasma, and spleen. Our study elucidates a therapeutic approach of nanohybrid-mediated IN administration of pApoE2 against inflammaging.\n\nID: 41983052\nTitle: Selenized neural stem cell exosomes for CNS trauma repair.\nAbstract: A recent study on Cell Reports Medicine by Wang et al. introduces a hybrid exosome platform - selenized neural stem cell-derived exosomes (SeNExo) - that couples the biological functionality of neural stem cell exosomes with the antioxidant power of ultrasmall nanoselenium. SeNExo crosses the blood-brain barrier via apolipoprotein E (APOE)-lipoprotein receptor-associated protein-1 (LRP1) interaction, scavenges reactive oxygen species, and restores glial-neuron homeostasis. It demonstrates potent therapeutic efficacy in both traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury mouse models. This work highlights a promising direction for engineering multifunctional, cell-free nanotherapeutics for central nervous system repair.\n\nID: 41970527\nTitle: A potential multimodal biomarker - cognitive signature associated with the conversion from subjective cognitive decline to mild cognitive impairment.\nAbstract: The disruption of key mechanisms involved in amyloid beta (A\u03b2) clearance during the early stages of dementia may contribute to the progression of cognitive decline toward irreversible brain damage. In this study, we investigated multiple immune-related pathways implicated in the management and clearance of A\u03b2 within circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and serum from individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) who later progressed to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A cytokine panel and the levels of A\u03b21-42 were quantified in both cEVs and serum from a longitudinally followed cohort of elderly with SCD, using mesoscale and Luminex technologies. We investigated associations with A\u03b2 burden, cognitive performance, APOE \u03b54 allele status, and the likelihood of conversion to MCI. In SCD patients, the concentrations of A\u03b21-42 and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) were higher, respectively, in cEVs and serum. No difference was observed for fraktaline, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3), and sCD40L in either cEVs or serum between SCD and control patients. Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, regression modeling, and correlations with cognitive performance, M-CSF levels in serum effectively distinguished individuals with SCD who converted to MCI from those who remained stable. Interestingly, combining M-CSF and cEVs A\u03b21-42 with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) cognitive scores provided an excellent classification for SCD converted to MCI up to 2 years prior to clinical diagnosis. Our findings support the potential value of integrating serum M-CSF levels with RAVLT performance and cEVs A\u03b21-42 concentrations into a multimodal biomarker panel for longitudinal monitoring of progressive neurocognitive impairment.\n\nID: 41806350\nTitle: Neuronal Extracellular Vesicles Carrying APOE Downregulate Filament Actin Polymerization Signaling to Inhibit Synapse Formation in Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Synaptic formation impairment is closely correlated with cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Emerging evidence indicates that extracellular vesicles (EVs), critical mediators of intercellular communication, are implicated in the progression of AD. However, the specific mechanisms through which neuron-derived EVs contribute to synaptic formation impairment in AD remain unexplored. In this study, we characterized EVs derived from primary neurons of APP/PS1 transgenic mice (APPNEVs) and investigated their impact on synapse formation. Transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle flow cytometry, and immunoblotting confirmed that APPNEVs and WT neuron-derived EVs (WTNEVs) had similar morphology, size, and canonical small EVs markers. We further revealed that APPNEVs significantly impaired neuronal synapse formation by downregulating synaptic proteins PSD95 and Synaptophysin (SYP), reducing total synapse number, and shifting synapse morphology toward immature states. Proteomic profiling via mass spectrometry identified APOE as a key upregulated protein in APPNEVs. Pharmacological inhibition of APOE with EZ-482 effectively prevented APPNEV-induced synaptic formation impairment, APPNEV-mediated downregulation of synaptic proteins, and the APPNEV-induced decrease in synaptic maturity. Mechanistically, APPNEVs suppressed Rac1-N-WASP-Arp2/3-mediated filament actin polymerization, a critical pathway for synaptic spine formation, which was prevented by APOE inhibition. In vivo stereotactic injection of APPNEVs into the hippocampus of WT mice further validated their detrimental effects on synaptic integrity, which were prevented by EZ-482 treatment. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that APPNEVs mediate synaptic damage via carrying APOE, providing novel insights into EV-mediated neurodegeneration in AD and highlighting APOE as a potential therapeutic target for preserving synaptic formation.\n\nID: 41772271\nTitle: Modulating LRP1 Pathways in Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanistic Insights and Emerging Therapies.\nAbstract: Globally, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia. Key symptoms include extracellular amyloid \u03b2 (A\u03b2) accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and BBB disruption. Integrative solutions are needed because conventional medicines merely relieve symptoms and cannot stop disease progression. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) plays a crucial role in A\u03b2 efflux, tau control, neuroinflammatory signaling, and neurovascular unit maintenance, making it a promising but unexplored therapeutic target. In AD and aging, LRP1 deficiency worsens clearance, vascular impairment, and neurodegeneration. Ligand-functionalized nanocarriers, antibodies, and gene manipulation show preclinical promise, but lower receptor expression, systemic off-target effects, and BBB penetration are challenges. Recent advances suggest innovative strategies, such as upregulating hepatic LRP1 for peripheral A\u03b2 storage, modulating cofactors like ANKS1A (ankyrin repeat and SAM domain containing protein 1A) for receptor trafficking, using engineered nanoparticles or extracellular vesicles as A\u03b2 decoys, preventing negative apolipoprotein E: ApoE4 and LRP1 interactions, and promoting neuroprotective pathways through LRP1 modulation. Endothelial-targeted gene therapy and dual transport rebalancing, which increases LRP1-mediated efflux and decreases RAGE-driven influx, are complementary. These precision strategies reposition LRP1 as a multifaceted therapeutic gateway rather than a clearance receptor, combining biomarker-driven patient stratification with next-generation delivery systems to transform AD disease-modifying therapies.\n\nID: 41678912\nTitle: Exosomal miR-10b derived from protocatechuic acid-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibits endothelial inflammation by targeting MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway.\nAbstract: Protocatechuic acid (PCA), a natural compound found in a variety of Chinese herbal medicines and plant foods, has been documented to inhibit atherosclerosis partially by reducing inflammation burden in arterial endothelial cells. Interestingly, in vitro studies showed that PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations does not affect inflammation burden in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells, whereas it increases the content of exosomal miR-10b secreted by macrophages that have engulfed apoptotic cells (efferocytic macrophages). This study was aimed at investigating whether the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of PCA in arterial endothelial cells was due to the uptake of efferocytic macrophage exosomal miR-10b. A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b.\n\nID: 41566550\nTitle: Plasma extracellular vesicles from APOE3 Christchurch carriers display a protective phenotype in early stages of autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: The PSEN1E280A mutation causes autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease (ADAD) with predictable onset, enabling presymptomatic studies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging biomarkers of cognitive decline, but their role in early ADAD is unclear. The rare apolipoprotein E (APOE3) Christchurch (APOE3Ch) variant delays disease onset, yet its effect on EVs is unknown. We analyzed plasma EVs from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3 carriers and non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3Ch carriers using flow cytometry, proteomics, and co-culture assays. APOE3Ch-EVs showed reduced vascular activation and inflammatory cargo linked to \u03b2-catenin signaling, higher apoE levels, and enrichment in lipid-loaded EVs. They mimicked the protective effect of recombinant ApoE3Ch on endothelial integrity by restoring \u03b2-catenin nuclear localization. In contrast, EVs from non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3 carriers displayed vascular and inflammatory signatures associated with poorer cognition and detrimental astrocyte-endothelium effects. These findings highlight APOE3Ch-EVs as modulators of vascular and inflammatory pathways with biomarker and therapeutic potential in ADAD.\n\nID: 41489760\nTitle: Circulating Vesicular Biomarkers in Alzheimer's Disease: From Mechanistic Insights to Clinical Applications.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is moving toward earlier, biology-driven diagnosis, which increases the need for blood-based markers that are reliable, scalable, and interpretable across populations. This review integrates the AT(N) framework with a maturity model for circulating biomarkers. We first describe core and largely validated plasma measures, including LC-MS or automated immunoassay A\u03b242/A\u03b240 ratios, p tau217 and p tau231, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament light, and we relate them to recent multi-stakeholder recommendations on analytical performance and regulatory status. We then summarize replicated but context-dependent markers, such as soluble TREM receptors, CHI3L1, and MCP 1, which improve risk stratification when interpreted together with amyloid and tau. A separate section examines emerging readouts that capture central nervous system (CNS) processes indirectly, focusing on neuron-enriched extracellular vesicles (EVs) and EV-carried microRNA panels. These signatures are biologically plausible and often precede symptoms, although current datasets are small, Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative (ADNI)-based, and require standardized pre-analytical handling and external validation before clinical triage can be recommended. We also discuss platform selection, comparing automated electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and single-molecule assays with LC-MS, and outline how composite plasma panels that include APOE genotype can support screen-confirm-monitor workflows in memory clinics. Finally, we propose a tiered implementation path in which genomic risk profiling and blood tests identify candidates for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or positron emission tomography (PET) studies. This shows how circulating and multi-omics biomarkers can be layered onto established plasma Amyloid beta (A\u03b2) and p tau assays to widen the measurable blood space in Alzheimer's disease.\n\nID: 41408986\nTitle: Immuno-Regulation of Brain Region-Specific Organoids Containing Isogenic Microglia-Like Cells.\nAbstract: Most brain organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) lack microglia and thus immune function. Microglia-like cells (MGCs) can be differentiated from iPSCs, while the characteristics of isogenic MGC-containing brain organoids in modeling neurodegeneration and cell-cell communications have not been well investigated. In this study, iPSC-derived MGCs are co-cultured with isogenic forebrain cortical organoids (iFCo), which are stimulated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) of brain organoids differentiated from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patient-derived iPSCs (APOE \u03b54/\u03b54 and presenilin 1). The AD EV-stimulated co-culture organoids are treated with EVs from healthy MGCs or co-culture. Differential responses of the co-cultured organoids and the MGCs to AD EVs are demonstrated. The co-cultured organoids mitigated pro-inflammatory gene expressions. EVs from healthy MGCs or co-culture reduced the expression of IL-12\u03b2, iNOS, TREM2, and CASS4, which are associated with neural inflammation and degeneration, as well as showed regulation on genes involved in microglial activation and carbon metabolism. AD EV cargo analysis by proteomics and microRNA-sequencing revealed APOE and APP proteins and microRNAs regulated pathways such as mitophagy. This study paves the way for understanding the role of microglia and brain organoids in modeling neural degeneration and the development of EV-based cell-free therapeutics for AD treatment.\n\nID: 41294837\nTitle: Neuronal Enriched Extracellular Vesicle miR-122-5p as a Potential Biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia and is often prefaced by mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Detection of AD-related changes via blood-based biomarkers would enable critical therapeutic interventions early in disease progression. Neuronal enriched extracellular vesicle (NEEV) miRNAs regulate peripheral genes as a response to early AD brain changes and hence may have biomarker potential. Plasma NEEVs were captured from plasma samples of Mexican Americans (MAs) and Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) using an antibody against the neuronal surface marker CD171. miRNAs isolated from NEEVs were sequenced and analyzed using miRDeep2/DEseq2 and QIAGEN RNA-seq portal for differential expression between cognitively impaired (CI) and cognitively unimpaired controls. hsa-miR-122-5p was significantly underrepresented in the CI group in both MAs and NHWs compared to the healthy control. Other population-specific miRNAs (MAs: hsa-miR-26a-5p, hsa-let-7f-5p, and hsa-miR-139-5p, NHWs: hsa-miR-133a-3p, hsa-miR-125b-5p, and hsa-miR-100-5p) identified may have biomarker potential in AD precision medicine. Some of these differentially expressed miRNAs were associated with key AD-related comorbidities such as APOE genotype, age, and metabolic burden and were predicted to target genes within NF-\u03baB -regulated inflammatory pathways. Together, these findings suggest that dysregulated miRNA networks may serve as a mechanistic link between comorbidity burden and AD-related neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 41234025\nTitle: Associations of lifestyle factors with amyloid pathology in persons without dementia.\nAbstract: BackgroundThe association between lifestyle factors and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathophysiology remains incompletely understood.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the association of alcohol consumption, smoking behavior, sleep quality and physical, cognitive, and social activity with cerebral amyloid pathology.MethodsFor this cross-sectional study, we selected participants from the Amyloid Biomarker Study data pooling initiative. We used generalized estimating equations to assess associations of dichotomized lifestyle measures with amyloid pathology.ResultsWe included 9171 participants with normal cognition (NC) and 2555 participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from the Amyloid Biomarker Study. Of participants with NC, 58% were women, 34% were APOE \u03b54 carrier, and 27% had amyloid pathology. Of participants with MCI, 48% were women, 47% were APOE \u03b54 carrier, and 57% had amyloid pathology. In NC, cognitively active participants were less likely to have amyloid pathology (OR\u2009=\u20090.77, 95%CI 0.66-0.89, p\u2009<\u20090.001). In MCI, participants who had ever smoked or had sleep problems were less likely to have amyloid pathology (OR\u2009=\u20090.85, 95%CI 0.73-0.99, p\u2009=\u20090.029; OR\u2009=\u20090.62, 95%CI 0.45-0.86, p\u2009=\u20090.004).ConclusionsIn NC, cognitive activity was associated with a lower frequency of amyloid pathology. In MCI, favorable lifestyle behaviors were not associated with a lower frequency of amyloid pathology. The results of the current study contribute to the broader evidence base on lifestyle and AD by further characterizing the role of lifestyle behaviors in AD pathology across different clinical stages.\n\nID: 41094553\nTitle: Extracellular vesicles derived from menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells suppress inflammatory atherosclerosis by inhibiting NF-\u03baB signaling.\nAbstract: Numerous studies have highlighted the beneficial effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in various inflammatory disorders. However, the regulatory role of MSCs in inflammatory atherosclerosis and the molecular mechanisms underlying their anti-inflammatory properties have largely remained elusive. Differential ultracentrifugation was performed to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs). An ApoE knockout atherosclerotic animal model was employed to investigate the regulatory effect of MenSC-EVs on inflammatory atherosclerosis. miRNA microarray screening analyses were conducted to identify potential effectors in MenSC-EVs that play a key role in the suppression of atherosclerosis mediated by the EVs. We demonstrated the remarkable potential of MenSC-EVs in alleviating atherosclerosis through the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. miR-574-5p serves as a crucial effector molecule transported by MenSC-EVs, suppressing endothelial inflammation and promoting nitric oxide production. This regulation contributes to the attenuation of atherosclerosis by regulating the abundance of c-Rel. The miR-574-5p/c-Rel axis shows significant clinical relevance to atherosclerosis. This study reveals that the engineering of EVs derived from MenSCs holds significant promise as a strategic clinical approach for addressing inflammatory atherosclerosis.\n\nID: 40993829\nTitle: Reduced synaptic vesicle protein 2A in extracellular vesicles and brains of Alzheimer's disease: associations with A\u03b2, tau, synaptic proteins and APOE \u03b54.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by accumulation of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques, tau neurofibrillary Tangles and synaptic dysfunction. The aim of this study was to map the distributions of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) and other synaptic proteins in the brain and the brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) of AD patients, analyze their associations with A\u03b2, tau, and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 allele, and investigate the biological role of SV2A. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of BDEVs and immunohistochemistry staining were conducted on postmortem brain samples from 57 AD patients and 48 nondemented controls. The levels of SV2A, synaptophysin (SYP), and other synaptic proteins in the brain tissues and the BDEVs, and their associations with A\u03b2, tau (phospho-tau and Braak stages), other proteins and the APOE \u03b54 allele, were analyzed. SV2A levels were significantly lower in AD patients than in nondemented controls, particularly in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. APOE \u03b54 carriers presented further reductions in SV2A levels compared with noncarriers. The SV2A levels in BDEVs and brain tissues were positively correlated with SYP levels and negatively correlated with A\u03b2 and phospho-tau levels. Reductions in SV2A were associated with decreased levels of other synaptic proteins, such as synaptotagmins, GAP43, and SNAP25. SV2A emerged as a central hub with interactions with proteins from subnetworks related to synaptic vesicle formation and fusion. SV2A levels in brain tissues and BDEVs are reduced in AD patients, particularly in those carrying the APOE \u03b54 allele, and are correlated with A\u03b2 and tau pathologies. SV2A may serve as a valuable biomarker for monitoring synaptic dysfunction and progression in AD.\n\nID: 40920927\nTitle: Microglia-to-neuron signaling links APOE4 and inflammation to enhanced neuronal lipid metabolism and network activity.\nAbstract: Microglia regulate neuronal circuit plasticity. Disrupting their homeostatic function has detrimental effects on neuronal circuit health. Neuroinflammation contributes to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), with several microglial activation genes linked to increased risk for these conditions. Inflammatory microglia alter neuronal excitability, inducing metabolic strain. Interestingly, expression of APOE4, the strongest genetic risk factor for AD, affects both microglial activation and neuronal excitability, highlighting the interplay between lipid metabolism, inflammation, and neuronal function. It remains unclear how microglial inflammatory state is conveyed to neurons to affect circuit function and whether APOE4 expression alters this intercellular communication. Here, we use a reductionist model of human iPSC-derived microglial and neuronal monocultures to dissect how the APOE genotype in each cell type independently contributes to microglial regulation of neuronal activity during inflammation. Conditioned media (CM) from LPS-stimulated microglia increased neuronal network activity, assessed by calcium imaging, with APOE4 microglial CM driving greater neuronal activity than APOE3 CM. Both APOE3 and APOE4 neurons increase network activity in response to CM treatments, while APOE4 neurons uniquely increase presynaptic puncta in response to APOE4 microglial CM. CM-derived exosomes from LPS-stimulated microglia can mediate increases to network activity. Finally, increased network activity is accompanied by increased lipid droplet (LD) metabolism, and blocking LD metabolism abolishes network activity. These findings illuminate how microglia-to-neuron communication drives inflammation-induced changes in neuronal circuit function, demonstrate a role for neuronal LDs in network activity, and support a potential mechanism through which APOE4 increases neuronal excitability.\n\nID: 40882623\nTitle: Selenized neural stem cell-derived exosomes: A neotype therapeutic agent for traumatic injuries of the central nervous system.\nAbstract: Oxidative damage and neuroinflammation are the key features of central nervous system (CNS) injury. Inspired by the neuroprotective properties of neural stem cell-derived exosomes (NExo) and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability of selenium, we develop an advanced NExo bearing ultrasmall nano-selenium (\u223c3.5 nm) via lipid-mediated nucleation (SeNExo). In addition to maintaining the biological components of NExo, the resulting SeNExo exhibits a Se-O bond that dramatically enhances its ROS-scavenging performance. SeNExo penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via the apolipoprotein E and prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (APOE_LRP-1) interaction. Through proteomics, microRNA (miRNA) omics, and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we find that SeNExo can alleviate neuronal apoptosis, restore glia homeostasis, and remodel glia-neuron networks. Therefore, SeNExo confers potent therapeutic benefits, significantly reducing cerebral lesions in a murine traumatic brain injury model. Even extending to a murine spinal cord injury model, SeNExo promotes locomotory recovery, further supporting SeNExo as a neotype and a promising therapeutic agent for treating traumatic CNS injury.\n\nID: 40870510\nTitle: From Better Diagnostics to Earlier Treatment: The Rapidly Evolving Alzheimer's Disease Landscape.\nAbstract: Background and Objectives: Over the past few years, there has been a significant shift in focus from developing better diagnostic tools to detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) earlier and initiating treatment interventions. This review will explore four main objectives: (a) the role of biomarkers in enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of AD, highlighting the major strides that have been made in recent years; (b) the role of neuropsychological testing in identifying biomarkers of AD, including the relationship between cognitive performance and neuroimaging biomarkers; (c) the amyloid hypothesis and possible molecular mechanisms of AD; and (d) the innovative AD therapeutics and the challenges and limitations of AD research. Materials and Methods: We have searched PubMed and Scopus databases for peer-reviewed research articles published in English (preclinical and clinical studies as well as relevant reviews and meta-analyses) investigating the molecular mechanisms, biomarkers, and treatments of AD. Results: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) discovered 37 loci associated with AD risk. Core 1 biomarkers (\u03b1-amyloid A\u03b242, phosphorylated tau, and amyloid PET) detect early AD phases, identifying both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, while core 2 biomarkers inform the short-term progression risk in individuals without symptoms. The recurrent failures of A\u03b2-targeted clinical studies undermine the amyloid cascade hypothesis and the objectives of AD medication development. The molecular mechanisms of AD include the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau protein, vascular dysfunction, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism dysregulation. Significant advancements in drug delivery technologies, such as focused Low-Ultrasound Stem, T cells, exosomes, nanoparticles, transferin, nicotinic and acetylcholine receptors, and glutathione transporters, are aimed at overcoming the BBB to enhance treatment efficacy for AD. Aducanumab and Lecanemab are IgG1 monoclonal antibodies that retard the progression of AD. BACE inhibitors have been explored as a therapeutic strategy for AD. Gene therapies targeting APOE using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing system are another therapeutic avenue. Conclusions: Classic neurodegenerative biomarkers have emerged as powerful tools for enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of AD. Despite the supporting evidence, the amyloid hypothesis has several unresolved issues. Novel monoclonal antibodies may halt the AD course. Advances in delivery systems across the BBB are promising for the efficacy of AD treatments.\n\nID: 40766379\nTitle: Microglia-to-neuron signaling increases lipid droplet metabolism, enhancing neuronal network activity.\nAbstract: Microglia regulate neuronal circuit plasticity.

Leveraging plasma neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), we sought to identify biomarkers of cognitive resilience and their interplay with APOE genotype. In this case-control study nested within the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), we analyzed 1130 plasma samples from 676 women in the WHI Memory Study (WHIMS)/Long Life Study (LLS), with APOE \u03b54 or \u03b53/\u03b53 genotypes. At baseline, all participants were cognitively intact and at LLS visit, 13-17\u2009years later, were classified as still cognitively intact (resilient) or having become impaired at age >\u200980 or \u2264\u200980\u2009years. We isolated NDEVs using immunoaffinity capture for the neuronal marker L1CAM and quantified AD pathogenic proteins (A\u03b242, total Tau, p181-Tau), insulin signaling (pSer312-IRS-1), TNFR1/NF\u03baB pathway mediators and targets, and mitochondrial Complex V. Linear mixed models assessed group differences, adjusting for NDEV yield, age, and education, with FDR correction. No group differences were found for A\u03b242, Tau proteins, or pS312-IRS-1. Resilient \u03b54 carriers had higher baseline levels of phosphorylated TNFR1, NF\u03baB, c-Myc, and FADD than \u03b54 carriers who eventually developed impairment at >\u200980 or \u2264\u200980\u2009years. Additionally, resilient \u03b54 carriers had higher baseline Complex V levels than \u03b54 carriers impaired at age >\u200980. Augmented neuronal TNFR1/NF\u03baB signaling and Complex V levels may promote cognitive resilience in \u03b54 carrier women. Boosting these mechanisms may have preventive and therapeutic potential against cognitive decline in this high-risk population.\n\nID: 40502793\nTitle: Unique lipid cargoes in APOE4 human brain-derived extracellular vesicles recruit cell adhesion molecules and promote tauopathy in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) carry tau filaments and promote tau transmission in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, how APOE \u03b54 allele, a key genetic risk factor for AD, may change BDEV molecular structures thereby facilitate disease progression is poorly understood. Here we report comprehensive analyses of BDEVs isolated from human E3/3 and E4/4 AD brains with a biological multi-omics approach. E4/4 BDEVs significantly enhanced tau propagation in aged human MAPT (Tau) knock-in and APP NL-G-F: Tau double knock-in mouse brains in vivo and increased neuronal uptake and excitability in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons (iNeurons) compared to E3/3 BDEVs in vitro. Notably, correlation analysis of BDEV-lipidome and proteome exhibited synergistic enrichment in unsaturated free fatty acid (FFA)18:2, a precursor of inflammatory w6 FFA, and neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1). Treatment of iNeurons with FFA 18:2 induces NCAM1 expression, recruits tau into EVs and enhance their tau seeding activity, which is blocked by NCAM1 antibody in vitro. Finally, intracerebroventricular injection of NCAM1 antibody significantly alleviated pathological tau accumulation and glial inflammation in PS19 tauopathy mouse brains, which had previously been reported to exhibit increased level of 18:2 FFA. This highlights novel pathological mechanism in tau transfer mediated by E4/4 BDEVs and emphasizes strong therapeutic potential of targeting EV molecules in AD progression.\n\nID: 40371609\nTitle: Neuroglial Advances: New Roles for Established Players.\nAbstract: Neuroglial cells perform numerous physiological functions and contribute to the pathogenesis of all diseases of the nervous system. Neuroglial neuroprotection defines the resilience of the nervous tissue to exo- and endogenous pathological challenges, while neuroglial defence determines the progression and outcome of neurological disorders. IN this paper, we overview previously unknown but recently discovered roles of various types of neuroglial cells in diverse physiological and pathological processes. First, we describe the role of ependymal glia in the regulation of cerebrospinal fluid flow from the spinal cord to peripheral tissues through the spinal nerves. This newly discovered pathway provides a highway for the CNS-body volume transmission. Next, we present the mechanism by which astrocytes control migration and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). In pre- and early postnatal CNS, OPCs migrate using vasculature (which is yet free from glia limitans perivascularis) as a pathfinder. Newly forming astrocytic perivascular endfeet signal (through semaphorin-plexin cascade) to OPCs that detach from the vessels and start to differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes. We continue the astrocyte theme by demonstrating the neuroprotective role of APOE-laden astrocytic extracellular vesicles in neuromyelitis optica. Next, we explore the link between astrocytic morphology and stress-induced depression. We discuss the critical role of astrocytic ezrin, the cytosolic linker defining terminal astrocyte arborisation and resilience to stress: overexpression of ezrin in prefrontal cortical astrocytes makes mice resistant to stress, whereas ezrin knockdown increases animals vulnerability to stress. Subsequently, we highlight the pathophysiological role of oligodendroglial lineage in schizophrenia by describing novel hypertrophied OPCs in the post-mortem patient's tissue and in a mouse model with OPCs overexpressing alternative splice variant DISC1-\u03943. These DISC1-\u03943-OPCs demonstrated overactivated Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signalling pathway and were sufficient to trigger pathological behaviours. Finally, we deliberate on the pathological role of astrocytic and microglial connexin 43 hemichannels in Alzheimer's disease and present a new formula of Cx43 hemichannel inhibitor with increased blood-brain barrier penetration and brain retention.\n\nID: 40086324\nTitle: Single cell analysis reveals that SPP1+ macrophages enhance tumor progression by triggering fibroblast extracellular vesicles.\nAbstract: Patients with liver metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) have a poor prognosis and are the leading cause of death in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but the mechanisms associated with CRC metastasis have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we obtained data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and characterized the single-cell profiles of CRC, mCRC and healthy samples at single-cell resolution, and explored the cells that influence CRC metastasis. We find that AQP1+ CRC identified as highly malignant tumor cells exhibited proliferative and metastatic characteristics. Immunosuppressive properties are present in the tumor microenvironment (TME), while NOTCH3+ Fib is identified to play a facilitating role in the metastatic colonization of CRC. Importantly, we reveal that tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) characterized by SPP1-specific high expression may be involved in TME remodeling through intercellular communication. Specifically, SPP1+ TAM mediates the generation of Fib-derived extracellular vesicle through the APOE-LRP1 axis, which in turn delivers tumor growth-promoting factors in the TME. This study deepens the understanding of the mechanism of TME in mCRC and lays the scientific foundation for the development of therapeutic regimens for mCRC patients.\n\nID: 40009460\nTitle: Uremic Toxins, CKD, and Cognitive Dysfunction.\nAbstract: Cognitive impairment involves alterations to one's cognitive status that affects everyday life. Individuals with CKD, and particularly kidney failure, experience higher rates of cognitive impairment (20%-70%) compared with the general population. The highest prevalence is described in kidney failure such that dialysis-dependent patients have twice the prevalence of age-matched controls. In the past 5 years, the number of investigations examining the \"kidney-brain axis,\" mechanisms of CKD-related cognitive impairment, and potential therapeutics have exponentially increased. This review article summarizes recent literature on direct and indirect effects of CKD-associated cognitive impairment with emphasis on uremic toxins; brain injury mechanisms; overlap between CKD-associated cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Reviewed therapeutic interventions include AST-120 (indoxyl sulfate absorbent), CH-223191 (aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist), triarylmethane-34 (Kca3.1-specific inhibitor), anakinra (IL-1R inhibitor), marimastat, exercise, supplements, and kidney transplantation. Special focus is placed on translational studies examining uremic toxin-associated pathogenic processes, including brain oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain barrier dysfunction through in vitro and in vivo models of CKD-associated brain injury. Finally, future research directions are suggested, including targeting of cellular senescence abundance with senotherapeutics and capitalizing on anti-inflammatory effects of regenerative, cell-based therapeutics ( e.g ., mesenchymal stem cells and extracellular vesicles), and use of aged murine models. Collectively, CKD-associated cognitive impairment represents a prevalent condition for which remaining knowledge gaps exist, and scientific advancements are needed to preserve cognitive function and improve the lives of individuals with CKD.\n\nID: 39841474\nTitle: Cerebral Microbleeds and Amyloid Pathology Estimates From the Amyloid Biomarker Study.\nAbstract: Baseline cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and APOE \u03b54 allele copy number are important risk factors for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) receiving therapies to lower amyloid-\u03b2 plaque levels. To provide prevalence estimates of any, no more than 4, or fewer than 2 CMBs in association with amyloid status, APOE \u03b54 copy number, and age. This cross-sectional study used data included in the Amyloid Biomarker Study data pooling initiative (January 1, 2012, to the present [data collection is ongoing]). Data from 15 research and memory clinic studies were pooled and harmonized. Participants included individuals for whom data on age, cognitive status, amyloid status, and presence of CMBs were available. Data were analyzed from October 22, 2023, to April 26, 2024. The main outcomes were age, cognitive status, amyloid status and presence, location, and number of CMBs. Presence of amyloid pathology was determined based on 42 amino acid-long form of amyloid-\u03b2 peptide (A\u03b242) levels in cerebrospinal fluid or on amyloid-positron emission tomography. Presence and, in a subset, location (lobar vs deep) and number of CMBs were determined on magnetic resonance imaging (locally with visual rating). Among 4080 participants included in the analysis, the mean (SD) age was 66.5 (8.9) years, and 2241 (54.9%) were female. A total of 2973 participants had no cognitive impairment (cognitive unimpairment [CU]), and 1107 had mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or AD dementia (ADD). One thousand five hundred and thirteen participants (37.1%) had amyloid pathology, 1368 of 3599 (38.0%) with data available were APOE \u03b54 carriers, and 648 (15.9%) had CMBs. In the CU group, amyloid pathology and APOE \u03b54 copy number were not associated with presence of any, no more than 4, or fewer than 2 CMBs but were associated with increased odds of lobar CMBs (odds ratio [OR] for amyloid,\u20091.42 [95% CI, 1.20-1.69], P < .001; OR\u2009for 2 vs 0 alleles, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.19-2.74], P\u2009=\u2009.006; OR for 1 vs 0 alleles, 1.10 [95% CI, 0.83-1.46], P\u2009=\u2009.49; and OR for 2 vs 1 allele, 1.64 [95% CI, 0.90-2.97], P\u2009=\u2009.11; overall P\u2009=\u2009.02). In the MCI-ADD group, amyloid pathology was associated with presence of any CMBs (OR,\u20091.51 [95% CI, 1.17-1.96], P = .002), no more than 4 CMBs (OR,\u20091.44 [95% CI, 1.18-1.82], P = .002), and fewer than 2 CMBs (OR 1.34 [95% CI, 1.03-1.74], P = .03) but not lobar CMBs. APOE \u03b54 copy number was associated with presence of any (OR for 2 vs 0 alleles, 1.72 [95% CI, 0.88-3.35], P\u2009=\u2009.11; OR for 1 vs 0 alleles, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.59-1.04], P\u2009=\u2009.09; and OR for 2 vs 1 allele, 2.20 [95% CI, 1.32-3.67], P\u2009=\u2009.002; overall P < .001) and no more than 4 CMBs (OR for 2 vs 0 alleles, 1.31 [95% CI, 0.64-2.68], P\u2009=\u2009.45; OR for 1 vs 0 alleles, 0.75 [95% CI, 0.54-1.04], P\u2009=\u2009.08; and OR for 2 vs 1 allele, 1.76 [95% CI, 0.97-3.19], P\u2009=\u2009.06; overall P\u2009=\u2009.03) but not with fewer than 2 or lobar CMBs. Prevalence estimates of CMBs ranged from 6% at 50 years of age in a non-APOE \u03b54 allele carrier with no amyloid pathology and no cognitive impairment to 52% at 90 years of age in an APOE \u03b54 homozygote carrier with amyloid pathology and cognitive impairment. In this cross-sectional study of 4080 participants, prevalence estimates of CMBs were associated with amyloid status, APOE \u03b54 copy number, and age. CMB prevalence estimates may help inform safety evaluations for antiamyloid clinical trials.\n\nID: 39841452\nTitle: Depressive Symptoms and Amyloid Pathology.\nAbstract: Depressive symptoms are associated with cognitive decline in older individuals. Uncertainty about underlying mechanisms hampers diagnostic and therapeutic efforts. This large-scale study aimed to elucidate the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology. To examine the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology and its dependency on age, sex, education, and APOE genotype in older individuals without dementia. Cross-sectional analyses were performed using data from the Amyloid Biomarker Study data pooling initiative. Data from 49 research, population-based, and memory clinic studies were pooled and harmonized. The Amyloid Biomarker Study has been collecting data since 2012 and data collection is ongoing. At the time of analysis, 95 centers were included in the Amyloid Biomarker Study. The study included 9746 individuals with normal cognition (NC) and 3023 participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) aged between 34 and 100 years for whom data on amyloid biomarkers, presence of depressive symptoms, and age were available. Data were analyzed from December 2022 to February 2024. Amyloid-\u03b21-42 levels in cerebrospinal fluid or amyloid positron emission tomography scans were used to determine presence or absence of amyloid pathology. Presence of depressive symptoms was determined on the basis of validated depression rating scale scores, evidence of a current clinical diagnosis of depression, or self-reported depressive symptoms. In individuals with NC (mean [SD] age, 68.6 [8.9] years; 5664 [58.2%] female; 3002 [34.0%] APOE \u03b54 carriers; 937 [9.6%] had depressive symptoms; 2648 [27.2%] had amyloid pathology), the presence of depressive symptoms was not associated with amyloid pathology (odds ratio [OR], 1.13; 95% CI, 0.90-1.40; P\u2009=\u2009.29). In individuals with MCI (mean [SD] age, 70.2 [8.7] years; 1481 [49.0%] female; 1046 [44.8%] APOE \u03b54 carriers; 824 [27.3%] had depressive symptoms; 1668 [55.8%] had amyloid pathology), the presence of depressive symptoms was associated with a lower likelihood of amyloid pathology (OR, 0.73; 95% CI 0.61-0.89; P\u2009=\u2009.001). When considering subgroup effects, in individuals with NC, the presence of depressive symptoms was associated with a higher frequency of amyloid pathology in APOE \u03b54 noncarriers (mean difference, 5.0%; 95% CI 1.0-9.0; P\u2009=\u2009.02) but not in APOE \u03b54 carriers. This was not the case in individuals with MCI. Depressive symptoms were not consistently associated with a higher frequency of amyloid pathology in participants with NC and were associated with a lower likelihood of amyloid pathology in participants with MCI. These findings were not influenced by age, sex, or education level. Mechanisms other than amyloid accumulation may commonly underlie depressive symptoms in late life.\n\nID: 39600269\nTitle: Exosomes, Endosomes, and Caveolae as Encouraging Targets with Favorable Gut Microbiota for the Innovative Treatment of Alzheimer's Diseases.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by progressive damage to specific neuronal cells, resulting in cognitive impairments. Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common types of cognitive impairments. Until recently, strategies that prevent its clinical progression have remained elusive. It has been suggested that oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury, and inflammation might lead to brain cell death in many neurological disorders. Therefore, the identification of effective neuroprotective agents is a research priority, and several autophagy-targeted bioactive compounds are promising candidate therapeutics for the prevention of brain cell damage. Some Alzheimer's disease risk genes expressed within the brain are linked to cholesterol metabolism, lipid transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, and/or caveolae formation, suggesting fruitful therapeutic targets for the treatment of cognitive impairments. Among them, a well-known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease is allelic variation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genes. APOE proteins may regulate aspects of cellular homeostasis, which is perturbed in the brain in Alzheimer's disease. Interestingly, the Apolipoprotein E \u03b54 allele (APOE4) protein is related to autophagy and to the biogenesis of caveolae, endosomes, and exosomes, processes which might consequently be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Recent research suggests that modification of the diet and/or gut-microbiota could be effective for treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases. Collectively, this research direction has the potential to improve clinical care through disease-modifying treatment strategies with benefits for patients with neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 39577706\nTitle: The LDL Receptor-Related Protein 1: Mechanisms and roles in promoting A\u03b2 efflux transporter in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: The LDL Receptor-Related Protein 1(LRP1), a member of the Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) receptor family, is a multifunctional cellular transporter and signaling receptor, this includes regulation of lipid metabolism, cell migration and signaling. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid beta (A\u03b2) in the brain is thought to be the main pathological change in Alzheimer's disease. By binding to a variety of ligands, LRP1 is involved in the internalization and degradation of A\u03b2, thereby affecting the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we discuss the main mechanisms by which LRP1 mediates A\u03b2 degradation and clearance and several current therapeutic approaches targeting LRP1. Finally, we concluded that modulating the expression level of LRP1 is an effective way to attenuate A\u03b2 deposition and ameliorate AD.

Our goal was to assess how soluble plasma biomarkers of AD pathology correlate with the number and content of EVs. Single-molecule enzyme-linked assays were used to quantify A\u03b242/40 and tau in plasma samples and neurally-derived EVs (NDEVs) from a cohort of APOE \u03b54- (n\u2009=\u2009168) and APOE \u03b54+ (n\u2009=\u200968) cognitively normal individuals and AD patients (n\u2009=\u200955). The ratio of CD56 (Neuronal cell-adhesion molecule) to CD81 signal measured by ELISA-DELFIA was used for the relative quantification of NDEVs in plasma samples. The soluble plasma A\u03b242/40 ratio is decreased in AD patients compared to cognitively normal individuals. The amount and content (A\u03b240, A\u03b242, tau) of plasma NDEVs were similar between groups. Plasma NDEVs quantity remain consistent with aging and between AD and CN individuals. However, the quantity of soluble biomarkers was negatively correlated to NDEVs number in cognitively normal individuals, while in AD patients, this correlation is lost, suggesting a shift in the mechanism underpinning the production and the release of these biomarkers in pathological conditions. Soluble plasma A\u03b242/40 ratio is the most robust biomarker to discriminate between AD patients and CN individuals, as it normalizes for the number of NDEVs. Analysis of NDEVs and their content pointed toward peculiar mechanisms of A\u03b2 release in AD. Further research on independent cohorts can confirm our findings and assess whether plasma A\u03b2 and tau need correction by NDEVs for better AD risk identification in CN populations.\n\nID: 38777335\nTitle: Apolipoprotein E2 Expression Alters Endosomal Pathways in a Mouse Model With Increased Brain Exosome Levels During Aging.\nAbstract: The polymorphic APOE gene is the greatest genetic determinant of sporadic Alzheimer's disease risk: the APOE4 allele increases risk, while the APOE2 allele is neuroprotective compared with the risk-neutral APOE3 allele. The neuronal endosomal system is inherently vulnerable during aging, and APOE4 exacerbates this vulnerability by driving an enlargement of early endosomes and reducing exosome release in the brain of humans and mice. We hypothesized that the protective effects of APOE2 are, in part, mediated through the endosomal pathway. Messenger RNA analyses showed that APOE2 leads to an enrichment of endosomal pathways in the brain when compared with both APOE3 and APOE4. Moreover, we show age-dependent alterations in the recruitment of key endosomal regulatory proteins to vesicle compartments when comparing APOE2 to APOE3. In contrast to the early endosome enlargement previously shown in Alzheimer's disease and APOE4 models, we detected similar morphology and abundance of early endosomes and retromer-associated vesicles within cortical neurons of aged APOE2 targeted-replacement mice compared with APOE3. Additionally, we observed increased brain extracellular levels of endosome-derived exosomes in APOE2 compared with APOE3 mice during aging, consistent with enhanced endosomal cargo clearance by exosomes to the extracellular space. Our findings thus demonstrate that APOE2 enhances an endosomal clearance pathway, which has been shown to be impaired by APOE4 and which may be protective due to APOE2 expression during brain aging.\n\nID: 38416841\nTitle: APOE from patient-derived astrocytic extracellular vesicles alleviates neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder in a mouse model.\nAbstract: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune astrocytopathy of the central nervous system, mediated by antibodies against aquaporin-4 water channel protein (AQP4-Abs), resulting in damage of astrocytes with subsequent demyelination and axonal damage. Extracellular communication through astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) has received growing interest in association with astrocytopathies. However, to what extent ADEVs contribute to NMOSD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, through proteomic screening of patient-derived ADEVs, we observed an increase in apolipoprotein E (APOE)-rich ADEVs in patients with AQP4-Abs-positive NMOSD. Intracerebral injection of the APOE-mimetic peptide APOE130-149 attenuated microglial reactivity, neuroinflammation, and brain lesions in a mouse model of NMOSD. The protective effect of APOE in NMOSD pathogenesis was further established by the exacerbated lesion volume in APOE-deficient mice, which could be rescued by exogenous APOE administration. Genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. The transfusion ADEVs derived from patients with NMOSD and healthy controls also alleviated astrocyte loss, reactive microgliosis, and demyelination in NMOSD mice. The slightly larger beneficial effect of patient-derived ADEVs as compared to ADEVs from healthy controls was further augmented in APOE-/- mice. These results indicate that APOE from astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles could mediate disease-modifying astrocyte-microglia cross-talk in NMOSD.\n\nID: 38187636\nTitle: Human cerebrospinal fluid single exosomes in Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases.\nAbstract: Exosomes are proposed to be important in the pathogenesis of prevalent neurodegenerative diseases. We report the first application of solid-state technology to perform multiplex analysis of single exosomes in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from the lumbar sac of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD, n=30) or Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD, n=30), as well as age-matched health controls (HCN, n=30). Single events were captured with mouse monoclonal antibodies to one of three different tetraspanins (CD9, CD63, or CD81) or with mouse (M) IgG control, and then probed with fluorescently labeled antibodies to prion protein (PrP) or CD47 to mark neuronal or presynaptic origin, as well as ADD- and PDD-related proteins: amyloid beta (A\u03b2), tau, \u03b1-synuclein, and Apolipoprotein (Apo) E. Data were collected only from captured events that were within the size range of 50 to 200 nm. Exosomes were present at approximately 100 billion per mL human CSF and were similarly abundant for CD9+ and CD81+ events, but CD63+ were only 22% to 25% of CD9+ (P<0.0001) or CD81+ (P<0.0001) events. Approximately 24% of CSF exosomes were PrP+, while only 2% were CD47+. The vast majority of exosomes were surface ApoE+, and the number of PrP-ApoE+ (P<0.001) and PrP+ApoE+ (P<0.01) exosomes were significantly reduced in ADD vs. HCN for CD9+ events only. A\u03b2, tau, and \u03b1-synuclein were not detected on the exosome surface or in permeabilized cargo. These data provide new insights into single exosome molecular features and highlight reduction in the CSF concentration of ApoE+ exosomes in patients with ADD.\n\nID: 38003448\nTitle: Potential Implications of miRNAs in the Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Therapeutics of Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex multifactorial disorder that poses a substantial burden on patients, caregivers, and society. Considering the increased aging population and life expectancy, the incidence of AD will continue to rise in the following decades. However, the molecular pathogenesis of AD remains controversial, superior blood-based biomarker candidates for early diagnosis are still lacking, and effective therapeutics to halt or slow disease progression are urgently needed. As powerful genetic regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs) are receiving increasing attention due to their implications in the initiation, development, and theranostics of various diseases, including AD. In this review, we summarize miRNAs that directly target microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), amyloid precursor protein (APP), and \u03b2-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) transcripts and regulate the alternative splicing of tau and APP. We also discuss related kinases, such as glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3\u03b2, cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), and death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1), as well as apolipoprotein E, that are directly targeted by miRNAs to control tau phosphorylation and amyloidogenic APP processing leading to A\u03b2 pathologies. Moreover, there is evidence of miRNA-mediated modulation of inflammation. Furthermore, circulating miRNAs in the serum or plasma of AD patients as noninvasive biomarkers with diagnostic potential are reviewed. In addition, miRNA-based therapeutics optimized with nanocarriers or exosomes as potential options for AD treatment are discussed.\n\nID: 37840502\nTitle: Implication of Circulating Extracellular Vesicles-Bound Amyloid-\u03b242 Oligomers in the Progression of Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: The perplex interrelation between circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposits in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is poorly understood. This study aims to 1) analyze the possible cross-linkage of the neurotoxic amyloid-\u03b2 oligomers (oA\u03b2) to the human cEVs, 2) identify cEVs corona proteins associated with oA\u03b2 binding, and 3) analyze the distribution and expression of targeted cEVs proteins in preclinical participants converted to AD 5 years later (Pre-AD). cEVs were isolated from 15 Pre-AD participants and 15 healthy controls selected from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging. Biochemical, clinical, lipid, and inflammatory profiles were measured. oA\u03b2 and cEVs interaction was determined by nanoparticle tracking analysis and proteinase K digestion. cEVs bound proteins were determined by ELISA. oA\u03b2 were trapped by cEVs and were topologically bound to their external surface. We identified surface-exposed proteins functionally able to conjugate oA\u03b2 including apolipoprotein J (apoJ), apoE and RAGE, with apoJ being 30- to 130-fold higher than RAGE and apoE, respectively. The expression of cEVs apoJ was significantly lower in Pre-AD up to 5 years before AD onset. Our findings suggest that cEVs might participate in oA\u03b2 clearance and that early dysregulation of cEVs could increase the risk of conversion to AD.\n\nID: 37730689\nTitle: Neuron-derived extracellular vesicles in blood reveal effects of exercise in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs) in blood may be used to derive biomarkers for the effects of exercise in Alzheimer's disease (AD). For this purpose, we studied changes in neuroprotective proteins proBDNF, BDNF, and humanin in plasma NDEVs from patients with mild to moderate AD participating in the randomized controlled trial (RCT) of exercise ADEX. proBDNF, BDNF, and humanin were quantified in NDEVs immunocaptured from the plasma of 95 ADEX participants, randomized into exercise and control groups, and collected at baseline and 16\u00a0weeks. Exploratorily, we also quantified NDEV levels of putative exerkines known to respond to exercise in peripheral tissues. NDEV levels of proBDNF, BDNF, and humanin increased in the exercise group, especially in APOE \u03b54 carriers, but remained unchanged in the control group. Inter-correlations between NDEV biomarkers observed at baseline were maintained after exercise. NDEV levels of putative exerkines remained unchanged. Findings suggest that the cognitive benefits of exercise could be mediated by the upregulation of neuroprotective factors in NDEVs. Additionally, our results indicate that AD subjects carrying APOE \u03b54 are more responsive to the neuroprotective effects of physical activity. Unchanged NDEV levels of putative exerkines after physical activity imply that exercise engages different pathways in neurons and peripheral tissues. Future studies should aim to expand upon the effects of exercise duration, intensity, and type in NDEVs from patients with early AD and additional neurodegenerative disorders. The Effect of Physical Exercise in Alzheimer Patients (ADEX) was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov on April 30, 2012 with the identifier NCT01681602.\n\nID: 37605307\nTitle: Role of miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p in the inflammatory pathway regulated by NF-\u03baB in experimental and human atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) prevalence has significantly increased in the last decade and atherosclerosis development is the main trigger. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression of their target and their levels are frequently altered in CVDs. By RT-qPCR, we analysed miR-9-5p, miR-15a-5p, miR-16-5p and miR-199a-3p levels in aorta from apolipoprotein knockout (ApoE-/- ) mice, an experimental model of hyperlipidemia-induced atherosclerosis, and in human aortic and carotid atherosclerotic samples. By in silico studies, Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence studies, we detected the targets of the altered miRNAs. Our results show that miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p are significantly decreased in carotid and aortic samples from patients and mice with atherosclerosis. In addition, we found an increased expression in targets of both miRNAs that participate in the inflammatory pathway of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB), such as IKK\u03b1, IKK\u03b2 and p65. In human vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the overexpression of miR-15a-5p or miR-199a-3p decreased IKK\u03b1, IKK\u03b2 and p65 protein levels as well as NF-\u03baB activation. On the other hand, miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p overexpression reduced ox-LDL uptake and the inflammation regulated by NF-\u03baB in VSMCs. Moreover, although miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p were significantly increased in exosomes from patients with advanced carotid atherosclerosis, only in the ROC analyses for miR-15a-5p, the area under the curve was 0.8951 with a p value of .0028. Our results suggest that the decrease of miR-199a-3p and miR-15a-5p in vascular samples from human and experimental atherosclerosis could be involved in the NF-\u03baB activation pathway, as well as in ox-LDL uptake by VSMCs, contributing to inflammation and progression atherosclerosis. Finally, miR-15a-5p could be used as a novel diagnostic biomarker for advanced atherosclerosis.\n\nID: 42599667\nTitle: Multimodal MRI insights into hippocampal pathological changes across the Alzheimer's disease continuum: advances and challenges.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with early and progressive hippocampal pathology serving as a hallmark across the AD continuum, including subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, and AD dementia. Single-modal MRI fails to fully capture multilevel hippocampal neuropathology, hindering accurate early diagnosis and prognostic prediction of AD. This narrative review summarizes recent advances in structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, quantitative susceptibility mapping, arterial spin labeling, and functional MRI for evaluating hippocampal and medial temporal lobe abnormalities in AD. These techniques provide a multifaceted characterization of AD-associated hippocampal alterations, including macroscopic atrophy, microstructural degeneration, metabolic dysregulation, aberrant iron deposition, hemodynamic dysfunction, and abnormal neuronal activity. Hippocampal damage in AD exhibits distinct subfield specificity, hemispheric asymmetry, and stage-dependent progression, modulated by A\u03b2/tau pathology, neuroinflammation, and apolipoprotein E \u03b54 genotype. Notably, multimodal imaging fusion integrated with machine learning outperforms single-modal biomarkers, significantly improving the accuracy of AD early screening, differential diagnosis, and prognostic prediction. Nevertheless, existing studies are hampered by inadequate pathological validation, limited sample sizes, unsatisfactory reproducibility, and multicenter technical heterogeneity. Multimodal MRI offers robust non-invasive evidence for exploring AD hippocampal pathophysiology. Future large-scale multicenter longitudinal studies combining artificial intelligence will advance precision diagnosis and targeted therapy for AD by clarifying the interplay among AD pathology, genetics, and heterogeneous hippocampal injury.\n\nID: 42593621\nTitle: Tau dysfunction in alzheimer's disease: molecular and cellular mechanisms, genetic modulation, and therapeutic perspectives.\nAbstract: Amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) plaque formation and tauopathy are two of several hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease. AD's widely known pathological hallmarks include extracellular amyloid-\u03b2 deposition, neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and cognitive decline. These pathological hallmarks can be explained at the neurochemical level as a loss of biochemical homeostasis in the brain. Dysregulated kinase-phosphatase signalling, altered post-translational modifications, and disrupted synaptic neurochemistry eventually push tau protein towards its pathological aggregation-prone form. Among these hallmarks, recent research has found that tau pathology plays a major role in neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Tau protein typically acts as a microtubule-stabilizing protein that helps maintain neuronal structure. In AD, pathological hyperphosphorylation, post-translational modifications, and redistribution of tau trigger its dysfunction and cytotoxicity. Pathological tau protein accumulates in neurons and undergoes a series of changes that include hyperphosphorylation, aberrant post-translational modifications, missorting, aggregation, fibrillization, and seeding as it spreads between cells. Mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 can have downstream effects on tau pathology. Variants in APOE, BIN1, PICALM, CD2AP, and TREM2 also influence tau pathology through cellular pathways including lipid metabolism, endocytic trafficking, proteostasis, and synaptic and neuroimmune mechanisms. These findings support a model in which tau dysfunction results from the convergence of molecular aberrations and genetic susceptibility within a pathological network involving amyloid-\u03b2, neuroinflammation, and synaptic failure. This review summarizes tau molecular and cellular mechanisms of tau dysfunction in AD, genetic factors regulating tau pathology, and emerging therapeutic approaches to mitigate tau-mediated neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42591319\nTitle: Biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease to differentiate normal, SCD, and MCI subjects and their correlation with cognitive function.\nAbstract: We assessed plasma biomarkers for the diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Subjects were divided into three groups: cognitively unimpaired (CU) (without subjective cognitive decline [SCD]) (n\u00a0=\u00a0113), CU with SCD (n\u00a0=\u00a0152), and mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n\u00a0=\u00a045). Plasma assays for amyloid beta (A\u03b2) 40, A\u03b242, neurofilament light chain protein, glial fibrillary acidic protein, and phosphorylated tau181 levels were measured using single molecule array (Simoa) technology. Neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) biomarkers were measured using the Corplex cytokine 10-Plex kit and the angiogenesis 6-Plex kit, respectively. Biomarker levels were regressed by cognitive group, age, sex, race, and apolipoprotein E apoE \u03b54 status, yielded significant positive associations between age and numerous AD, neuroinflammation, cytokine, and BBB plasma markers. Linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, race, and ApoE status, revealed significant differences between cognitive groups in levels of several plasma biomarkers and associations with age and sex. Neuroinflammation and BBB dysfunction showed significant positive associations with age across different stages of AD.\n\nID: 42570638\nTitle: Microglial immunometabolism in Alzheimer's disease: A stage-resolved trajectory from adaptive remodeling to the metabolic paradox.\nAbstract: Microglia are central regulators of the cellular phase of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Under chronic exposure to amyloid-\u03b2, pathological tau, and aging-associated bioenergetic decline, these cells undergo immunometabolic remodeling that may initially be adaptive. As stress persists, this remodeling can become maladaptive, marked by disordered glycolysis, disturbed lipid handling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and compensatory failure. In this review, we organize these changes as a stage-dependent trajectory from adaptive remodeling to functional decompensation. We introduce the \"metabolic paradox\" as an operational descriptor: a concurrent, same-cell mismatch between increased substrate uptake or inflammatory activation and declining bioenergetic efficiency and homeostatic function. Along this trajectory we examine neurovascular energy bottlenecks, substrate redistribution, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2)/apolipoprotein E (APOE)-dependent lipid homeostasis, mitochondrial and proteostatic collapse, and their links to persistent neuroinflammation, defective phagocytosis, aberrant synaptic pruning, and senescence-like dysfunction. We synthesize prior primary findings and stratify each major claim by evidentiary strength, avoiding the overinterpretation of model-specific results as patient-level mechanisms. Finally, we frame immunoprevention as mechanism-based, early-stage metabolic intervention to preserve homeostatic microglial function, a strategy whose clinical benefit remains a hypothesis requiring prospective testing.\n\nID: 42567350\nTitle: Valine modulates Alzheimer's disease risk in APOE \u03b54 carriers: evidence from two cohorts.\nAbstract: The apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) allele confers the greatest genetic risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). To identify APOE \u03b54-associated metabolic factors related to AD risk and to provide preliminary insights into their biological and nutritional context. We leveraged multi-omics analyses across two independent cohorts to characterize biomarkers associated with AD. The effects of metabolite\u00a0\u00d7\u00a0APOE \u03b54 interactions were tested on incident AD and the \u03b54-specific metabolic signatures were pinpointed. Multimodal analyses were used to test the underlying mechanisms, including neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and PET biomarkers within the A/T/N framework, as well as plasma proteomics combined with bioinformatics enrichment analyses. Across both cohorts, valine emerged as the only metabolite associated with a reduced risk of incident AD specifically among APOE \u03b54 carriers (P\u00a0<\u00a00.005). Significant interaction effects between valine and APOE \u03b54 were detected in both cohorts (P for meta-analyses\u00a0<\u00a00.005). Higher levels of valine were associated with greater total white matter and posterior cingulate cortex volumes, as well as with lower levels of CSF tau proteins. Higher valine levels also predicted a slower decline in FDG-PET metabolism. No association was found between valine and A\u03b2. Mediation analyses of plasma proteomic data suggested statistically significant mediation effects involving GFAP, NEFL, and APOE (P\u00a0<\u00a02\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010-16). Valine is a metabolite associated with lower AD risk in APOE \u03b54 carriers, with potential associations with tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation-related processes. As this was an observational study, causality cannot be inferred.\n\nID: 42554989\nTitle: Impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the progression of Alzheimer's disease: A prospective cohort study.\nAbstract: BackgroundSARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with neurological sequelae and may accelerate Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression through neuroinflammation and protein aggregation. However, longitudinal evidence regarding the cognitive impact of COVID-19 in patients with AD remains scarce, and this interaction requires further clarification.ObjectiveTo explore whether COVID-19 accelerates cognitive decline in patients with AD.MethodsA total of 120 participants were enrolled, including 63 in the COVID-19 group and 57 in the non-COVID-19 group. The primary outcomes were disease decline and disease deterioration over three months, assessed using CDR-SB. Disease deterioration indicated clinically meaningful worsening, whereas disease decline captured subtler progression. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for demographic, clinical, lifestyle, genetic, and disease severity factors. Overlap-Weighted Propensity Score Matching was additionally performed to reduce confounding during the 3-month follow-up.ResultsCOVID-19 significantly increased the risk of disease decline (OR\u2009=\u200910.39, 95% CI:3.87 to 27.87, p\u2009<\u20090.001) and disease deterioration (OR\u2009=\u200910.37, 95% CI: 2.71 to 39.65, p\u2009=\u20090.001). APOE \u03b54 carrier status was associated with a higher risk of deterioration (OR\u2009=\u20091.72), while those with unknown APOE status exhibited an even greater risk (OR\u2009=\u20095.20, 95% CI:1.32 to 20.53, p\u2009=\u20090.019). Secondary analyses confirmed that COVID-19 patients experienced significantly greater increases in CDR-SB scores compared to non-COVID-19 patients.ConclusionsSARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with greater short-term cognitive worsening over a three-month period in patients with AD, underscoring its potential public health relevance and the need for early surveillance to guide timely clinical management.\n\nID: 42505375\nTitle: Stimulus-Based ApoE Alzheimer's Disease Induction Model Using Microglia-Containing Brain Organoids for Drug Discovery.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a multifaceted progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by memory deficits and cognitive impairment. The disease is clinically diagnosed by the presence of \u03b2-amyloid (A\u03b2), hyperphosphorylated tau, and neurodegeneration. Animal models serve as an indispensable tool to understanding AD pathogenesis and evaluating potential therapeutic approaches. However, despite the development of more than 200 rodent models, species-specific differences limit the translational relevance. Brain organoids generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the potential to bridge the gap between transgenic mouse models and clinical trials in human patients. Herein, we describe a robust stimulus-based neuroimmune organoid model that demonstrates neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and lipid dysregulation with AD-relevant pathological markers. Using planar organoids containing neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular cells, we performed in-depth characterization of the induced AD-like phenotype using supernatant proteomic analysis, immunofluorescence staining, NfL and GFAP release, scRNAseq, bulk RNAseq, and pathway analysis both acutely (24 h) and chronically (7 days). Furthermore, we show that the induced neuroinflammation, lipid dysregulation, and neurodegeneration can be ameliorated using small molecules. This defined inducible model system presents an opportunity for drug discovery and development using a complex multicellular brain microenvironment derived from human iPSCs.\n\nID: 42500791\nTitle: Association of sTREM2 and YKL-40 With Alzheimer's Disease Progression: A Systematic Review.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation is recognized as a core feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) and chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) are fluid biomarkers of microglial and astrocytic reactivity associated with AD progression. However, their coupling to amyloid and tau pathology, stage-specific roles, and prognostic utility remain unclear. This systematic review synthesized evidence from 2021 to 2025 on associations of sTREM2 and YKL-40 with AD progression. This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore, and Web of Science were searched (Jan 2021-Dec 2025), with citation searching. Duplicates were removed using EndNote X21 (Clarivate, London, UK). Two independent reviewers screened records using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) criteria, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Original human studies measuring sTREM2 and/or YKL-40 across the AD spectrum were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to heterogeneity in study design and outcomes, a narrative synthesis was performed. Thirteen studies were included: seven on sTREM2, five on YKL-40, and one on both. Six were low risk of bias, and seven were moderate. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 showed a biphasic pattern across disease stages, with early potential neuroprotective associations and later correlation with cortical atrophy and cognitive decline. A sex-APOE \u03b54 interaction was observed, with higher levels in female carriers. YKL-40 showed weak amyloid associations but strong coupling with tau pathology and neurodegeneration, influenced by vascular risk factors. Plasma YKL-40 predicted incident dementia and cognitive decline, and serum YKL-40 differentiated early dementia from controls with good diagnostic performance. sTREM2 and YKL-40 represent biologically distinct but complementary neuroinflammatory pathways in AD. sTREM2 reflects a stage-dependent microglial response, while YKL-40 reflects tau-associated astrocytic activation modulated by vascular factors. Longitudinal studies with concurrent biomarker assessment are needed to clarify their combined prognostic value.\n\nID: 42496889\nTitle: Systems pharmacology and targeted transcriptional profiling suggest the putative neuroprotective role of Leuconostoc mesenteroides in an in vitro Alzheimer's disease model.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder driven by amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) accumulation, mitochondrial failure, and neuroinflammation. While probiotics show therapeutic potential via the gut brain axis, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of Leuconostoc mesenteroides lysate and its bioactive metabolites in an A\u03b2-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma model. SH-SY5Y cells were challenged with A\u03b2 and treated with L. mesenteroides lysate. Neuroprotective effects were evaluated via ROS accumulation, SOD1, APOE, NOS2, and mitochondrial dynamics (MFF, OPA1) using qPCR and WB. Potential mechanisms of action were explored computationally through integrated genome mining (antiSMASH 7.0), molecular docking (CB-Dock2), and systems pharmacology analysis (STRING/KEGG/R-studio) to identify candidate metabolites and host targets. L. mesenteroides lysate significantly attenuated A\u03b2-induced ROS levels and upregulated SOD1, enhancing antioxidant capacity. The lysate effectively downregulated APOE expression and restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing mitochondrial fission (MFF) and promoting fusion (OPA1). In silico analysis predected phytoene as a primary bioactive metabolite with significant theoretical binding affinity for APOE. Systems biology mapping revealed highly significant enrichment in PPAR signaling and cholesterol metabolism pathways (FDR\u2009<\u200910\u207b\u2075). Specifically, Cellular Component analysis highlighted robust interactions within protein-lipid complexes (FDR\u2009=\u20091.98e-16). L. mesenteroides lysate counteracts A\u03b2-induced neurotoxicity by modulating oxidative stress and restoring mitochondrial bioenergetics. Collectively, our findings suggest a theoretical Phytoene-PPAR-APOE signaling axis as a predictive framework for the observed cellular effects. We emphasize that phytoene represents a predicted candidate metabolite requiring future chemical characterization and biological validation.\n\nID: 42489531\nTitle: Biochemical modulators of synaptic plasticity: New horizons in Alzheimer's disease treatment.\nAbstract: Synaptic dysfunction is the earliest and most critical pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD), directly contributing to cognitive decline. This review provides an integrative overview of the molecular and biochemical modulators governing synaptic plasticity and their disruption in AD. We discuss how the collective impairment of A\u03b2 aggregation, tau pathology, calcium imbalance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation affects dendritic spine morphology and synaptic connectivity. Particular attention is given to neurotrophins such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor and TrkB signaling, hormonal influences, likewise glucocorticoids, estrogens, testosterone, endocannabinoid pathways, lipid and cholesterol regulators like ApoE and lipid rafts, and epigenetic mechanisms that modulate synaptic resilience. We further evaluate the therapeutic potential of pharmacological agents, including cholinesterase inhibitors, NMDA receptor modulators, and multi-target directed ligands alongside nutraceuticals such as resveratrol, curcumin, omega-3 fatty acids, Withania somnifera, and Bacopa monnieri. Emerging technologies, including iPSC-derived neuronal models, optogenetics, and advanced neuroimaging biomarkers like SV2A PET, cerebrospinal fluid/plasma neurogranin, are also highlighted for their role in elucidating and monitoring synaptic integrity. Ultimately, targeting the biochemical modulators of synaptic plasticity offers a promising avenue for AD therapy, especially through combinatorial and precision-medicine strategies aimed at restoring synaptic function and cognitive performance.\n\nID: 42478899\nTitle: The liver-brain axis: A multidimensional regulatory network implicated in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis and clinical implications.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition. The liver-brain axis underscores the central role of the liver in modulating cognitive function through multidimensional regulatory mechanisms. As a core metabolic and detoxification organ, the liver also helps maintain cerebral homeostasis via pathways including the urea cycle, antioxidant systems, ketone body metabolism, and bile acid regulation. Dysfunction of these processes may lead to ammonia accumulation, exacerbated oxidative stress, and A\u03b2 clearance, thereby accelerating the pathological progression of AD. Liver-derived factors such as apolipoprotein E (APOE), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) significantly increase the risk of AD through dual mechanisms-inhibiting A\u03b2 clearance and activating neuroinflammation, thereby directly affecting cognitive function via modulation of inflammation, metabolism, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. Neural interfaces formed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-target gland axis and the vagus nerve enable communication from the liver to the brain, with emerging evidence also supporting a reverse influence from the brain to the liver. Emerging technologies such as molecular tracing and nanocarriers provide new tools for deciphering dynamic interactions within the liver-brain axis. Liver-targeted metabolic interventions show potential for reversing cognitive impairment. Unlike previous reviews that mainly focused on single pathways, this review conceptualizes the liver-brain axis as a multidimensional regulatory network in AD. By clearly linking network nodes to potential therapeutic interventions, it provides us with a novel framework that not only describes the various mechanisms but also focuses on identifying actionable targets for disease prevention and treatment.\n\nID: 42451206\nTitle: KetoFLEX 12/3 Diet and Cognitive Health: A Precision-Nutrition Perspective on Mechanisms, Emerging Evidence, and Future Directions.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by impaired glucose metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, and progressive cognitive decline. Because currently available pharmacological therapies provide only modest symptomatic benefit, nutrition-based interventions are increasingly being explored as complementary strategies for supporting brain metabolism and cognitive resilience. The KetoFLEX 12/3 dietary pattern, developed within the ReCODE (Reversal of Cognitive Decline) program, is a plant-rich, mildly ketogenic nutrition and lifestyle framework that integrates low-glycemic nutrition, time-restricted eating, and personalized metabolic optimization. The diet emphasizes deeply pigmented non-starchy vegetables, extra-virgin olive oil, nuts and seeds, omega-3-rich seafood, and minimally processed foods while limiting refined carbohydrates, sugars, processed foods, and selected grains and dairy products. Emerging mechanistic and clinical evidence suggests that KetoFLEX 12/3 may influence several pathways relevant to AD pathophysiology, including insulin signaling, mitochondrial bioenergetics, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, autophagy, detoxification pathways, and gut-brain axis function. Observational findings from ReCODE-related studies have reported improvements in metabolic parameters, mood-related outcomes, cognitive measures, and brain volumetrics in participants adhering to multimodal precision-medicine interventions incorporating the KetoFLEX principles. Compared with traditional dietary models such as the Mediterranean or MIND diets, KetoFLEX 12/3 places greater emphasis on mild nutritional ketosis, meal timing, and metabolic personalization based on factors such as ApoE genotype and insulin sensitivity. The objective of this Perspective is to examine the mechanistic rationale, emerging evidence, limitations, and future research priorities for KetoFLEX 12/3 as a precision-nutrition framework for cognitive health in AD. Although much of the current evidence remains mechanistic, observational, or derived from multimodal intervention studies, the framework offers a biologically plausible precision-nutrition model that may inform future research and clinical investigation in cognitive decline.\n\nID: 42448663\nTitle: Integrative multi-omics reveals MHC class II-mediated neuroinflammation and systemic metabolic dysregulation as transdiagnostic drivers in major brain disorders.\nAbstract: Psychiatric, neurodevelopmental, and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bipolar disorder (BIP), major depressive disorder (MDD), and schizophrenia (SCZ), exhibit complex etiologies driven by immune and metabolic dysregulation. While distinct in their clinical onset, these conditions share overlapping molecular vulnerabilities. This study pioneers an integrative multi-omics framework, combining multi-tissue TWAS, cross-disorder pleiotropy analyses, Mendelian Randomization (MR), predictive machine learning, and BV2 microglial profiling. Crucially, our analysis uncovered a robust \"Dual-Axis\" etiological architecture. First, a systemic metabolic axis emerged as a primary driver, particularly involving FADS2-mediated lipid dysregulation and gut-brain axis interactions. This axis shares mechanisms between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, with Multi-tissue TWAS revealing peripheral contributions (e.g., liver, colon) to CNS pathology. Second, MHC Class II-mediated pathways, driven by HLA-DRA, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1, and HLA-DQA1, emerged as a transdiagnostic neuroinflammatory nexus across AD, BIP, MDD, and SCZ, orchestrating antigen presentation to CD4+ T-helper cells. To bridge these genomic findings with cellular function, BV2 microglial profiling was performed to provide a cellular-context reference specifically for the identified immune risk component. This cellular model confirmed that the immunogenetic risk burden maps to a specific proinflammatory activation state characterized by upregulated neurotoxins (Lcn2, Nos2, Ccl2) and suppressed lipid transport/phagocytosis (Apoe, Cd68). Machine learning models leveraging these signatures achieved robust predictive performance, particularly for BIP and MDD. MR analyses uncovered causal roles of immune, lipid, and microbial pathways, with shared metabolic signatures (e.g., N-acetylarginine) across disorders. Integration with traditional medicine databases linked lipid metabolism to Artemisia argyi, suggesting novel therapeutic avenues. This integrative approach redefines the molecular framework of these disorders by highlighting systemic metabolic dysregulation and strongly implicating MHC Class II-mediated neuroinflammation as two convergent drivers, advancing precision psychiatry through targeted immunotherapies and metabolic modulators.\n\nID: 42445022\nTitle: High-Throughput CETSA Identifies Small Molecule Modulators of ILT3 (LILRB4) with Functional Activity in Human iPSC-Derived Microglia for Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Immune inhibitory signaling in microglia contributes to impaired amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) clearance and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet small molecule modulators targeting these pathways remain largely unexplored. Here, we report the development of a high-throughput cellular thermal shift assay (HT-CETSA) platform for identification of small molecule binders targeting the inhibitory immune receptor ILT3 (LILRB4). Screening of \u223c40\u202f000 compounds yielded multiple validated hits, including IB15C, a submicromolar ILT3 binder identified through preliminary structure-activity relationship optimization. Orthogonal validation by microscale thermophoresis, surface plasmon resonance, docking, and site-directed mutagenesis confirmed direct and target-specific ILT3 engagement. Functionally, IB15C disrupted the ILT3-ApoE interaction and restored microglial activity in human iPSC-derived microglia, reducing SHP1/2 and NF-\u03baB signaling, suppressing IL-1\u03b2 secretion, and enhancing A\u03b2 uptake. IB15C also demonstrated favorable in vitro pharmacokinetic and safety properties, supporting further development of ILT3-targeted neuroimmune therapeutics.\n\nID: 42442909\nTitle: Crosstalk in Alzheimer's-delirium nexus: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic repurposing.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and delirium, though distinct in clinical tempo, converge mechanistically at the intersection of neurovascular dysfunction, glial activation, and metabolic collapse. This chapter explores the integrative framework of neurovascular-glia crosstalk, emphasizing how endothelial injury, astrocytic reactivity, and microglial hyperactivation collectively undermine brain energy metabolism. We highlight evidence that blood-brain barrierc (BBB) breakdown, mitochondrial insufficiency, and oxidative stress establish a \"metabolic vulnerability state\" predisposing the AD brain to delirium. Single-cell and transcriptomic analyses delineate shared molecular circuits involving MAPK, TP53, APOE, and \u03b4-secretase (LGMN)-the latter regulated by disease-relevant miRNAs such as miR-124 and miR-146a. These networks couple neuroinflammation with impaired energy dynamics, bridging chronic neurodegeneration and acute encephalopathic stress. We further discuss how tyrosine-kinase signaling, serotonergic dysregulation, and glial-vascular miscommunication coalesce into a unified pathophysiological axis. Therapeutic repurposing strategies-ranging from tyrosine kinase inhibitors (nilotinib, imatinib) to metabolic modulators (metformin, pioglitazone)-offer promising cross-disease interventions. Finally, we underscore the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) in accelerating drug repurposing through integrative omics and pathway-based reasoning. Together, these advances redefine the AD-delirium nexus as a systems-level disorder of energy and communication, opening translational avenues for precision therapeutics that restore neurovascular balance and cognitive resilience.\n\nID: 42439628\nTitle: Lymphoid-like Suppressive Microglia in Alzheimer's Disease: A New Neuroimmune Regulatory Axis?\nAbstract: Microglia are central regulators of Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis, but their roles cannot be reduced to a simple protective-versus-harmful dichotomy. Genetic, single-cell, and spatial studies have shown that Alzheimer 's-associated microglia occupy diverse disease-linked states shaped by amyloid plaques, tau pathology, lipid stress, complement activation, astrocyte signaling, aging, and immune genetic risk. Among the regulatory nodes controlling these states, SPI1, which encodes the myeloid transcription factor PU.1, has emerged as a key determinant of microglial identity and disease responsiveness. Human genetic studies suggest that reduced SPI1 expression may be protective, whereas experimental data indicate that excessive PU.1 suppression can impair essential microglial functions. This review examines the emerging concept that partial, plaque-associated reduction in PU.1 may enable a distinct lymphoid-like immunoregulatory microglial program marked by CD28 expression. Recent evidence suggests that PU.1-low CD28-positive microglia may restrain neuroinflammation and amyloid pathology, raising the possibility that Alzheimer's plaques induce not only inflammatory and phagocytic microglial responses, but also endogenous suppressive programs that limit tissue damage. We discuss this proposed PU.1/CD28 regulatory axis in relation to disease-associated microglia, TREM2-APOE signaling, complement-mediated synapse loss, antigen-presentation pathways, plaque-niche biology, and therapeutic microglial reprogramming. We also highlight major unresolved questions, including whether PU.1-low CD28-positive microglia are present and functional in human Alzheimer's disease, whether they are specific to amyloid-rich niches or extend to tau and mixed pathologies, and how such states could be safely manipulated without disrupting essential immune surveillance. We propose that lymphoid-like suppressive microglia represent a promising but still unproven framework for understanding protective neuroimmune regulation in Alzheimer's disease and for developing state-specific microglial therapies.\n\nID: 42435996\nTitle: Targeting the APOE4-driven peripheral-central immune axis: A new frontier for Alzheimer's disease therapy.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and a growing global health challenge. Despite decades of research dominated by the amyloid cascade hypothesis, single-target therapies aimed at A\u03b2 or tau have largely failed, underscoring the need for a broader framework. Emerging evidence implicates neuroimmune dysfunction as a central driver of AD pathology, with the \"peripheral-central immune axis\" emerging as a critical node. The APOE4 allele, the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD, plays a pivotal role in both central nervous system (CNS) lipid metabolism and peripheral immune homeostasis. This review synthesizes the association between APOE4 and peripheral immune dysregulation and its impact on neurodegeneration. We discuss APOE expression in CNS and peripheral immune cells, highlighting APOE4-associated alterations in monocyte/macrophage polarization, T cell subsets via IL-7/IL-7R downregulation, and gut microbiota composition. We delineate mechanisms by which APOE4 is associated with blood-brain barrier compromise, may promote conditions for immune cell trafficking, and contributes to neuroinflammation. Integrating preclinical and clinical evidence, we propose an \"APOE4-associated peripheral-central immune infiltration cascade\" as a unifying framework for understanding systemic AD pathogenesis. Finally, we review emerging therapeutic strategies targeting peripheral immunity and APOE, discussing multi-target approaches guided by APOE genotype and immune biomarkers, shifting from a CNS-centric toward a systemic immunomodulatory paradigm for precision medicine.\n\nID: 42435662\nTitle: Relative importance of blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease-specific neurodegeneration and cognitive decline.\nAbstract: Although blood-based biomarkers are now available for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD), the best biomarker for AD-specific neurodegeneration and cognitive decline remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the relative importance of four plasma biomarkers-phosphorylated tau (p-tau) 217, p-tau181, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-in AD-specific neurodegeneration and cognition. We analyzed cross-sectional data from two independent, ethnically distinct cohorts spanning the clinical spectrum from cognitively unimpaired to dementia: 150 participants from the SAMD cohort (100% Asian) and 284 participants from the ADNI cohort (94.0% White). Plasma biomarker levels were quantified using Single-Molecule Array (Simoa) assays. We employed dominance analysis to determine the hierarchical contributions of these biomarkers to AD signature regions of interest (ROI) thickness (entorhinal, inferior temporal, middle temporal, and fusiform regions), total cognition, and memory, stratified by amyloid-PET status. Three sensitivity analyses were further conducted to validate the findings across these cohorts, mitigating potential biases arising from differences in demographic characteristics and clinical severity. All analyses were adjusted for age, sex, education, and APOE \u03b54 status. The dominance hierarchy differed markedly according to the amyloid status. Plasma GFAP and p-tau217 emerged as the dominant predictors for AD signature ROI thickness and cognitive impairment in amyloid-positive participants. Specifically, GFAP demonstrated superior dominance in explaining cortical atrophy within the SAMD cohort, whereas p-tau217 was the dominant predictor in the ADNI cohort. P-tau217 generally outperformed the others in explaining total cognition and memory in the amyloid (+) group. In contrast, among amyloid (-) participants, plasma NfL showed greater explanatory power than GFAP for both neurodegeneration and cognitive decline across both cohorts. The efficacy of plasma biomarkers in reflecting AD-related neurodegeneration varies significantly depending on the presence of amyloid pathology. While GFAP and p-tau217 are robust indicators of AD-associated changes linked to plaque pathology, NfL better reflects non-specific neurodegeneration involving axonal damage. Consequently, a stratified approach based on amyloid status is essential for the optimal application of blood-based biomarkers in monitoring disease progression and evaluating therapeutic efficacy in future clinical trials and precision medicine.\n\nID: 42434808\nTitle: Brain targeting and trafficking of extracellular vesicles in central nervous system diseases: a therapeutic roadmap.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular signaling in the central nervous system (CNS) by transferring lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids among neurons, glia, endothelium, and immune cells. Brain targeting depends on a linked sequence: EV ligands and adsorbed protein coronas engage receptor modules, select endocytic routes, determine intracellular fate, and define the therapeutic readouts. These fates include lysosomal degradation, recycling, rare cytosolic delivery, or transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In disease, the same pathways can disseminate proteopathic seeds and amplify neuroinflammation. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) and LDL receptor family members, including low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), regulate tau, \u03b1-synuclein, and amyloid-\u03b2 handling. Phosphatidylserine readers and complement shape myeloid sink capture and inflammatory output. Integrin, tetraspanin, and ICAM-1 nanoclusters influence avidity, organotropism, and immune suppression. At the BBB, endothelial HSPGs, LRP1, and transferrin receptor (TfR) support receptor-mediated uptake, motivating engineered ligands such as rabies virus glycoprotein-derived peptides, Angiopep-2, and TfR binders. However, endosomal escape remains a major kinetic barrier to nucleic acid delivery. We synthesize these principles across Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, glioblastoma, and demyelinating disease, and outline design and assay standards needed to translate EV biology into safe, manufacturable CNS therapeutics.\n\nID: 42393750\nTitle: Microglial checkpoint collapse in Alzheimer's disease: a tri-axial framework for biomarker-informed neuroimmune therapy.\nAbstract: Anti-amyloid antibodies have validated amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) as a disease-relevant target in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their modest clinical effect, efficacy largely restricted to early disease, and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) indicate that A\u03b2 removal alone does not resolve the glial, lipid, and inflammatory programmes that sustain neurodegeneration. Microglia sit at the centre of this therapeutic gap. Single-nucleus and spatial profiling has resolved several AD-associated microglial states, yet state labels remain descriptive and do not explain why adaptive engagement becomes maladaptive. We frame AD-relevant microglial dysfunction as checkpoint collapse: progressive failure of regulatory nodes that coordinate lipid sensing, lysosomal competence, neuronal restraint, and inflammatory threshold control. The central nodes are TREM2-mediated lipid and apolipoprotein sensing, progranulin-associated lysosomal regulation, CX3CR1-dependent neuron-microglia restraint, and CD33/Siglec-3 inhibitory tone. When these controls destabilise, downstream pathology can be organised around three coupled effector axes: a lipid axis centred on APOE-biased cholesterol trafficking, ACSL1/DGAT2-driven lipid-droplet accumulation, and impaired lysosomal flux; an iron/ferroptosis axis involving labile iron, phospholipid peroxidation, and insufficient GPX4/FSP1 defences; and an inflammation/complement axis linking NLRP3 activation, type-I interferon signalling, and C1q/C3-dependent synaptic engulfment to tau pathology and synapse loss. White-matter injury, astrocyte-microglia crosstalk, and cGAS-STING-linked senescence are integrated as cross-axis amplifiers. This framework is proposed as a hypothesis-generating scaffold for biomarker-informed translational studies, rather than as a validated clinical stratification system. It may help organise stage-aware therapeutic hypotheses, including regulatory-node preservation in early disease, lipid-handling restoration and ferroptosis control at intermediate stages, and complement- or senescence-directed modulation in later disease. Current glial, iron, inflammatory, and imaging biomarkers remain insufficiently specific to assign individual patients reliably to discrete pathological axes in clinical practice.\n\nID: 42353831\nTitle: From Genes to Imaging Phenotypes: Radiomics and Machine Learning as Tools to Decode Molecular Pathways in Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder driven by complex interactions between genetic susceptibility, molecular pathways, and progressive brain alterations. Key genetic factors, including APOE, TREM2, and MAPT, contribute to pathological processes such as amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, tau aggregation, neuroinflammation, and synaptic dysfunction. Despite substantial advances in understanding these mechanisms, translating molecular insights into clinically accessible biomarkers remains a major challenge. Radiomics and machine learning (ML) have emerged as promising approaches for extracting high-dimensional quantitative features from medical imaging data and identifying complex patterns associated with disease processes. Radiomic features capture spatial heterogeneity and subtle characteristics of neurodegeneration that are not discernible using conventional imaging analysis. When integrated with ML, these features may serve as noninvasive surrogates of molecular activity, enabling the identification of imaging signatures associated with specific genetic backgrounds and biological pathways. This review aims to explore how radiomics and ML can bridge the gap between genetic and molecular mechanisms and in vivo imaging phenotypes in AD. We summarize current knowledge on genetic determinants and molecular pathways and discuss advances in molecular imaging, particularly tracers targeting amyloid and tau pathology. Furthermore, we analyze the emerging role of radiomics and ML in linking imaging phenotypes with underlying biological processes. This integrative framework may support improved disease stratification, early diagnosis, and prediction of therapeutic response, contributing to the development of precision medicine strategies and future theranostic approaches in Alzheimer's disease.\n\nID: 42346084\nTitle: Cholinergic Differentiation of Human iPSCs Reveals Early APOE4-Driven Dysregulation of Neuronal Markers, Synaptogenesis and Inflammatory Responses.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive memory impairment and cognitive decline. The APOE4 allele represents one of the most prominent genetic risk factors. In this study, we investigated the impact of APOE4 on the cholinergic neuronal development and on the neuronal inflammatory response to TNF-\u03b1 stimulation. To address this, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) carrying a homozygous APOE4 genotype and an isogenic APOE3 control were differentiated into cholinergic-like induced neurons (iNs) by LHX8 overexpression. APOE4 was associated with accelerated early neuronal differentiation, as reflected by earlier downregulation of the progenitor marker Nestin. However, delayed expression of synaptophysin indicated impaired synaptic maturation. Functionally, APOE3 iNs exhibited a robust but temporally regulated response to TNF-\u03b1, whereas APOE4 iNs were characterized by a delayed yet sustained induction of inflammatory signaling. Moreover, APOE4 iNs displayed an enhanced stress-associated transcriptional response at early differentiation stages. Collectively, these findings suggest that APOE4 influences both neuronal development and the timing and persistence of inflammatory responses, potentially predisposing cholinergic neurons to later dysfunction in AD.\n\nID: 42342036\nTitle: Mesenchymal stem cell secretome attenuates disease-associated microglial activation and cognitive decline in TBI-associated neuroinflammation.\nAbstract: Therapeutic options for traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain limited, in part due to injury-induced activation of microglia toward disease-associated microglia (DAM) phenotypes that contribute to persistent neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. We evaluated whether non-invasive intranasal delivery of mesenchymal stem cell secretome can enhance recovery after TBI by modulating microglial DAM signaling. Adult C57BL/6 mice underwent moderate controlled cortical impact (CCI) TBI. Adipose Stem Cell-derived Concentrated Conditioned Media (ASC-CCM) (\u223c20\u202fng protein/day, four doses) was administered intranasally, while sham and TBI controls received saline. Cognitive and memory functions assessed at 7 and 30 days post-injury showed TBI mice with impairments in learning, working, and long-term memory, while ASC-CCM-treated TBI mice performed similar to sham. These functional deficits correlated with increased astrogliosis (GFAP) and apoptosis (TUNEL), both of which were attenuated by ASC-CCM. TBI induced a time-dependent increase in astrocyte-associated APOE in the ipsilateral peri-lesion area and TYROBP in activated microglia near the impact site; ASC-CCM treatment significantly reduced both markers. Transcriptomic analysis of peri-lesion tissue at days 7 and 30 confirmed robust upregulation of DAM-associated genes (APOE, TYROBP, TREM2) after TBI, which was mitigated by intranasal ASC-CCM. Consistent with these findings, TREM2 expression in ipsilateral CD11b\u202f+\u202fCD45high cells was markedly reduced following treatment. These data show that microglial DAM signaling is a modifiable neurochemical pathway after TBI, and that intranasal delivery of ASC-CCM reduces microglial activation and improves cognitive outcomes. This strategy potentially offers a translational path to a non-invasive therapeutic for acute and chronic TBI.\n\nID: 42342012\nTitle: Differential regulation of neuroinflammation and tau pathology by apolipoprotein E3 and E4 via the mTORC1 pathway: Implications for Alzheimer's disease risk.\nAbstract: This study examined whether apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) and apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) are associated with differential neuroinflammatory and tau-related signaling in U87 MG cells, with particular focus on mTORC1-related markers relevant to Alzheimer's disease (AD). U87 MG cells were transiently transfected with apoE3-or apoE4-expressing plasmids, or transfected with apoE-targeting siRNA in the corresponding knockdown experiments. Phospho-NF-\u03baB p65 (Ser536), phospho-mTOR (Ser2448), phospho-4E-BP1 (Ser65), and phospho-tau (Ser202/Thr205) were assessed by Western blotting, and TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA levels were measured by RT-qPCR. Overexpression of both isoforms increased inflammatory and mTORC1-related signaling relative to vector control. Compared with apoE3, apoE4 overexpression was associated with higher TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA expression and higher phospho-tau levels, while differences in phospho-mTOR and phospho-4E-BP1 were not significant. Knockdown reduced these markers in both groups, with lower residual phospho-NF-\u03baB p65, TNF\u03b1, IL1\u03b2, phospho-4E-BP1, and phospho-tau levels in the apoE3-knockdown condition than in the apoE4-knockdown condition. Because apoE4 protein expression was higher than apoE3 in the transient overexpression system, between-isoform differences in the gain-of-function arm should be interpreted cautiously. These cell-based findings support an association between apoE isoforms and differential inflammatory and tau-related signaling linked to mTORC1. However, direct pharmacological or genetic validation of mTORC1 dependency was not performed, so the mechanistic relationship should be interpreted as suggestive rather than definitive.\n\nID: 42322185\nTitle: Evaluating emerging amyloid-\u03b2 centric drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: The amyloid cascade hypothesis provided a compelling rationale for Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug development, but many amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2)-targeted agents failed to show benefit. The present review article evaluated emerging A\u03b2-directed therapies, focusing on mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety, and regulatory progress. The recent approvals of lecanemab and donanemab offered the first convincing evidence that reducing A\u03b2 burden can modestly slow cognitive decline in early AD. Beyond these first-generation monoclonal antibodies, the pipeline includes next-generation antibodies with enhanced brain penetration (trontinemab), therapies designed also for presymptomatic intervention (remternetug tested for secondary prevention), and novel approaches targeting galectin-3 to disrupt A\u03b2 aggregation and neuroinflammation. Active immunotherapies like UB-311 and small molecules such as ALZ-801, avoiding amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), broaden the therapeutic horizon with potentially safer and more accessible options, but with no proven efficacy. Clinical benefits for A\u03b2-centric therapies are modest, ARIA poses ongoing safety concerns, and high costs coupled with intensive monitoring limit accessibility. Regulators have begun to restrict approval to genetically defined subgroups according to apolipoprotein E genotype, underscoring the need for precision medicine. Therefore, while A\u03b2-centric therapies are incremental, they represent essential steps toward combination and precision strategies in the treatment of AD. Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) is a growing global health problem, with no cure currently available. Most existing treatments only relieve symptoms and do not slow the underlying disease process. One of the earliest and most important biological changes in AD is the buildup of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), a protein that forms plaques in the brain. For this reason, many new drugs have been designed to remove A\u03b2 or prevent it from accumulating. In recent years, several A\u03b2-targeting therapies have shown that they can successfully reduce amyloid plaques in the brain. These include monoclonal antibodies given by infusion or injection, vaccines that stimulate the immune system, and oral drugs designed to block the formation of toxic A\u03b2 species. Some of these treatments have reached late-stage clinical trials, and a few have received regulatory approval in certain regions. However, while these drugs clearly reduce amyloid levels, their effects on memory and daily functioning are modest, especially when used after symptoms have already appeared. In addition, treatment can be associated with side effects such as brain swelling or small brain bleeds, requiring frequent medical monitoring, costly for healthcare systems. Most evidence so far comes from carefully controlled randomized clinical trials, and real-world experience remains limited. Current research is therefore shifting toward earlier treatment, including prevention in people at high risk, improved drug delivery methods, and combination approaches that also target other disease processes such as tau pathology, inflammation, and vascular or metabolic changes. New blood-based biomarkers are also making it easier to diagnose AD earlier and to select patients more precisely. Overall, A\u03b2\u2013centered therapies represent an important scientific advance, but they are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Future progress in AD treatment will depend on better understanding how amyloid may interact with other brain changes, identifying the right patients at the right time, and developing safer, more affordable, and more comprehensive therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 42318557\nTitle: Unraveling the role of HIF-1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from older patients with Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Cerebrovascular damage is increasingly recognized as an early event in the dementia continuum, occurring before typical Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathological changes. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor composed of HIF-1\u03b1 and HIF-1\u03b2 subunits which, under hypoxic conditions, dimerize and activate hypoxia response element (HRE)-containing genes. HIF-1\u03b1 has been reported to be implicated in neuroinflammation, a key feature of AD. This study evaluated HIF1A and its negative regulator HIF1AN gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 308 cognitively healthy older individuals (controls) and 83 AD patients, and their associations with gene expression of HRE-containing inflammatory genes in PBMCs and corresponding protein concentrations in plasma. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from AD patients showed lower gene expression of both HIF1A and HIF1AN compared with controls, and this reduction was associated with higher odds of AD. In the overall cohort, after adjustment for age, sex, Apolipoprotein E \u03b54 status, and diagnosis, HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1), IL-1B, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) gene expression, whereas HIF1AN gene expression was negatively associated with IL-6, IL-1B, and TREM-1 gene expression. Furthermore, HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with plasma IL-1\u03b2 and soluble TREM-1 concentrations, while HIF1AN gene expression was negatively associated with IL-10 concentrations. Overall, these findings support the use of peripheral cells to investigate HIF-1 pathway dysregulation in AD and suggest that altered HIF-1\u03b1 signaling may reflect impaired cellular responsiveness linked to neuroinflammatory processes.\n\nID: 42300696\nTitle: Plasma p-tau217 measured by the Elecsys automated immunoassay: Prospective validation in a heterogeneous memory clinic cohort.\nAbstract: BackgroundPlasma phosphorylated tau at threonine 217 (p-tau217) has emerged as a leading blood-based biomarker for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and can be measured using fully automated, random-access platforms. The Elecsys plasma p-tau217 assay requires further validation, particularly in heterogenous populations seen in memory clinics.ObjectiveTo validate plasma p-tau217 in comparison with p-tau181 and to evaluate its association with other soluble core 1 AD biomarkers, as well as markers of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation.MethodsBiobank data from two prospective blood-based biomarkers validation studies were analyzed. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) p-tau181/A\u03b242 ratio served as the reference standard for AD diagnosis. The diagnostic performance of plasma p-tau217 and p-tau181 was compared. In patients with AD, p-tau217 was further evaluated for its association with CSF (A\u03b242/A\u03b240 ratio, p-tau181, t-tau) and plasma [APOE \u03b54 protein (APOE \u03b54p), NfL (neurofilament light chain), GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein)] biomarkers.ResultsAmong 303 patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, plasma p-tau217 outperformed plasma p-tau181 (AUC 0.93 versus 0.87). By the two threshold diagnostic strategy, an upper cutoff (>0.312\u2005pg/mL, specificity 95%) and a lower cutoff (<0.177\u2005pg/mL, sensitivity 95%) were established, with 27% of cases falling into an indeterminate range. Plasma p-tau217 showed strong correlations with CSF A\u03b242/A\u03b240 and p-tau181/A\u03b242 ratios, as well as with plasma GFAP, and only moderate correlations with CSF t-tau and p-tau181, and plasma NfL.ConclusionsPlasma p-tau217 measured using Elecsys demonstrates good diagnostic performance and strong associations with other soluble Core 1 AD and neuroinflammation biomarkers.\n\nID: 42274471\nTitle: Triptolide Reduces Cholesterol Synthesis and Alleviates Neuroinflammation by Inhibiting CD33 in Alzheimer's Disease Development and Progression.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which has recently been found to be closely associated with neuroinflammation. As an anti-inflammatory drug, triptolide (TP), a natural diterpenoid from Tripterygium wilfordii, was selected in the current study for treating PS19 (tauP301S transgenic) mice, tauopathy AD mice. In addition, we have previously found that TP had the ability to reduce the level of cholesterol. However, the roles and mechanisms of TP in the above processes are not clear. To this end, we found that elevated cholesterol in serum and brain tissues upregulated the expression of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 3 (CD33), leading to the activation of SH2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1). The activation of SHP-1 inhibits the signaling pathways of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), which results in inhibition of the M2 polarization of microglia, which exacerbates neuroinflammation and cognitive decline in high-cholesterol diet (HCD)-fed mice. Conversely, TP treatment significantly inhibited the hepatic sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2)/3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) pathway, which reduced the cholesterol levels in the serum and brain. By depressing the levels of cholesterol, the axis of CD33 and SHP-1 was suppressed, which resulted in restoration of the activity of JAK1 and STAT6 pathways, leading to the transition of microglia from the M1 to the M2 phenotype. Of note, these observations demonstrate that TP alleviates the cognitive impairment of PS19 mice via depressing neuroinflammation. Altogether, our results revealed the mechanisms of TP in treating AD via CD33/SHP-1/JAK1/STAT6 pathways in a cholesterol-dependent manner.\n\nID: 42268366\nTitle: Unlocking Neuroprotection: Exercise-Induced Muscle Secretome (Myokines) as a Therapeutic Avenue Against Alzheimer's Disease Pathogenesis.\nAbstract: This review critically evaluates exercise-induced myokines as neuroprotective agents against Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is structured around three thematic sections: (1) mechanistic foundations of myokine neuroprotection, (2) translational barriers to therapeutic development, and (3) a strategic framework for future research. Epidemiological studies associate physical exercise with reduced AD risk (30-45%), yet mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. Preclinical studies demonstrate that exercise-induced myokines (Irisin, BDNF, Cathepsin B) modulate AD pathology by: (1) attenuating amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)/tau accumulation, (2) suppressing neuroinflammation, and (3) enhancing synaptic plasticity. However, human exercise interventions show conflicting results influenced by APOE genotype, age, and exercise modality. Associative human data suggest that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exemplifies pleiotropy-affording neuroprotective effects in acute contexts but potentially detrimental effects in states of chronic inflammation. Therapeutic hurdles include blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, pleiotropic risks, and patient heterogeneity. Emerging concepts such as combinatorial approaches (nanocarriers, exercise mimetics) and biomarker-driven trials are proposed as hypothetical future strategies; however, these remain unvalidated and require substantial preclinical development before implemented in clinical care. This narrative review is structured around three thematic sections: mechanistic foundations of myokine neuroprotection, translational barriers to therapeutic development, and a strategic framework for future research. The muscle-brain axis represents a compelling but complex therapeutic target. Based on current preclinical and correlational human evidence, future research should prioritize mechanistic rigor, standardized biomarker validation, and clinically viable delivery strategies. Notably, several approaches discussed herein-including nanocarrier delivery systems, exercise mimetics, and combinatorial myokine cocktails-remain speculative and are presented as future research directions rather than established therapeutic interventions.\n\nID: 42265757\nTitle: Associations of plasma metabolites with protein biomarkers linked to Alzheimer's disease pathology in the Rotterdam Study.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) and tau pathology, neuroaxonal damage, and neuroinflammation. While blood biomarkers, such as tau, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and A\u03b2 isoforms, reflect AD pathology, the systemic metabolic alterations contributing to the disease remain poorly defined. This study aims to explore associations between plasma metabolites and key protein biomarkers linked to AD pathology in a large, population-based cohort. Plasma levels of A\u03b240, A\u03b242, total-tau (t-tau), and NfL were measured using the highly sensitive Simoa NF-light and N3PA assays (Quanterix platform) among over 3,000 participants from the Rotterdam Study. Plasma metabolites were quantified using the Nightingale NMR-based (n\u2009=\u20092,871) and Metabolon MS-based (n\u2009=\u20091,491) platforms. Multivariable linear regression models, adjusted for demographic, lifestyle, and genetic factors, were applied. Analyses were stratified by sex and APOE genotype. Sensitivity analyses excluded participants with dementia, stroke, or impaired kidney function. Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins across VLDL, LDL, and HDL subclasses were positively associated with both A\u03b2 isoforms. Among them, Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in small VLDL showed the strongest association with A\u03b240 (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.168, FDR\u2009=\u20094.362e-16). Conversely, HDL cholesterol fractions showed inverse associations with A\u03b2. GlycA (\u03b2\u2009>\u20090.097, FDR\u2009<\u20092.092e-05) and creatinine (\u03b2\u2009>\u20090.253, FDR < 3.371e-24) were positively associated with all Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, while albumin was inversely related to tau (\u03b2 = -0.094, FDR\u2009=\u20091.924e-04) and NfL (\u03b2 = -0.079, FDR\u2009=\u20094.210e-05). On the Metabolon platform, S-adenosylhomocysteine (\u03b2\u2009>\u20090.206, FDR\u2009<\u20091.303e-09) was positively associated with all biomarkers, while uridine and 2'-deoxyuridine showed inverse associations with A\u03b240, t-tau, and NfL. Stratified analyses indicated stronger GlycA-tau associations in APOE \u03b52 carriers and sex-specific effects for amino acids and ApoA1. Our findings highlight metabolites involved in lipid transport, inflammation, amino acid metabolism, and methylation as being linked to AD-related protein biomarkers. These results provide novel insights into systemic metabolic pathways underlying AD and suggest that certain metabolites may serve as potential biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification in AD.\n\nID: 42265753\nTitle: Ischemic injury triggers a protective microglial phenotype in models of A\u03b2 pathology.\nAbstract: Microglia are highly plastic cells that are capable of integrating subsequent insults. As the majority of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients also show cerebrovascular pathology, we here aimed to dissect the interactions between AD and ischemic brain injury on the microglial response to amyloid beta (A\u03b2) pathology. Unexpectedly, ischemic stroke in the context of cerebral \u03b2-amyloidosis drives the emergence of a neuroprotective microglial phenotype characterized by an ApoE-enriched transcriptional state and enhanced lipid handling. These microglia promote the rapid formation of highly compact A\u03b2 plaques that are relatively inert and strikingly reminiscent of those observed in cognitively resilient AD patients. Our findings thus reveal that the microglial response to A\u03b2 pathology is not a fixed trajectory toward dysfunction, but retains a capacity for beneficial reprogramming when engaged by the appropriate stimulus. Beyond characterizing this comorbid state, our data identify specific molecular pathways, centered on ApoE, complement activation, and lysosomal processing, that may be amenable to therapeutic targeting to promote protective microglial function in AD.\n\nID: 42259955\nTitle: Aging in a highly polluted world: challenges and solutions to prevent Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder globally and a leading cause of disability and death among the elderly. As populations age worldwide, the epidemiological burden of AD is expected to more than double by 2050, surpassing 150\u00a0million affected individuals. While genetic susceptibility, particularly the apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE4) allele, modulates individual risk, most AD cases are late-onset and shaped by complex interactions between genetic background and modifiable environmental exposures. Environmental pollution has emerged as a critical and potentially preventable contributor to this burden. The 2024 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care has identified 14 modifiable risk factors, with air pollution explicitly included. Drawing on evidence from human epidemiological cohorts, experimental animal models, and in vitro neuronal/glial systems, the present review aims to synthesize mechanistic evidence linking environmental pollutant classes to AD-relevant neuropathology. The review examines the growing body of evidence linking major categories of environmental pollutants (ambient particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and emerging contaminants including microplastics and nanoplastics) to AD risk and pathogenesis. Special attention is given to studies showing that the characteristic neuropathological features of AD may emerge in children and young adults chronically exposed to heavily polluted urban environments, which highlights critical concerns about when and how these changes develop throughout life. Shared mechanistic pathways through which environmental pollutants promote neurodegeneration are discussed, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, tau kinase dysregulation, epigenetic reprogramming, and gut-brain axis dysbiosis. The review also examines the amplifying role of biological aging on neurotoxic vulnerability and proposes a comprehensive, multi-level prevention framework addressing individual exposure reduction, clinical risk identification, and population-level policy interventions.\n\nID: 42212127\nTitle: Targeting microglia-mediated neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease: mechanisms and therapeutic approaches.\nAbstract: While the recent approval of amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)-clearing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) marks a milestone in treating Alzheimer's disease (AD), their modest clinical efficacy has catalyzed a paradigm shift, underscoring the necessity of targeting complementary pathological drivers. Neuroinflammation, once considered a secondary phenomenon, is now established as a third core pathological pillar of AD, with microglia at its epicenter. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted role of microglia in AD pathogenesis and evaluates the rapidly evolving landscape of microglia-targeted therapeutic strategies. We first delineate the dynamic and dichotomous function of microglia, which act as a \"double-edged sword.\" Emerging evidence reveals a complex, three-stage functional arc: microglia are implicated in the initial seeding of A\u03b2 plaques, then transition to a neuroprotective role by containing established plaques, and finally devolve into a chronic, pro-inflammatory state that drives neurodegeneration. We then delve into the core molecular mechanisms governing this plasticity, including the pivotal Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2)-APOE signaling axis, the inhibitory receptor Cluster of Differentiation 33 (CD33), and key intracellular hubs like the NLRP3 inflammasome, which directly link genetic risk factors to microglial dysregulation. Based on this mechanistic understanding, we critically evaluate diverse therapeutic strategies, ranging from suppressing neurotoxic inflammation (e.g., TNF-\u03b1 and NLRP3 inhibitors) to enhancing protective functions (e.g., TREM2 agonism and CD33 antagonism), eliminating senescent microglia (senolytics), and utilizing advanced nanoplatforms for brain-targeted delivery. Finally, we highlight the critical role of neuroinflammatory biomarkers within the emerging ATI(N) framework for enabling precision medicine. In conclusion, targeting microglia represents a vital therapeutic avenue that moves beyond amyloid-centric approaches, where a sophisticated understanding of their stage-dependent functions is paramount for developing effective immunomodulatory therapies to alter the devastating course of AD.\n\nID: 42206051\nTitle: Lipid metabolic regulation of neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by \u03b2-amyloid deposition, tau pathology, and sustained neuroinflammation. Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulated lipid metabolism is not merely a metabolic disturbance but a critical modulator of inflammatory responses driving AD pathogenesis. The brain, one of the most lipid-enriched organs, relies on tightly controlled lipid homeostasis to maintain neuronal function and synaptic integrity. Alterations in fatty acid composition, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms, lipoprotein lipase activity, and lipid-derived signaling mediators profoundly reshape microglial activation states and inflammatory cascades. Obesity, insulin resistance, and gut microbiota dysbiosis further exacerbate systemic and central lipid imbalance, amplifying neuroinflammatory signaling through cytokine networks and blood-brain barrier disruption. Notably, polyunsaturated fatty acids and lipid mediators exert dual immunomodulatory effects, influencing \u03b2-amyloid aggregation, oxidative stress, and microglial polarization. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding how lipid metabolism modulates neuroinflammation and microglia-neuron crosstalk in AD, highlighting emerging therapeutic strategies targeting lipid-inflammation axes as promising avenues for disease modification.\n\nID: 42199314\nTitle: Preoperative APOE and Alzheimer's disease polygenic risk profiling for perioperative neurocognitive disorders.\nAbstract: Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) include postoperative delirium within 7 days after surgery, delayed neurocognitive recovery up to 30 days, and postoperative neurocognitive disorder up to 12 months. These outcomes are related, but they are not the same. They arise from the interaction of baseline brain vulnerability and perioperative stress, including inflammation, vascular instability, blood-brain barrier injury, metabolic strain, and reduced neural reserve. Preoperative genetic profiling is useful because it can estimate latent susceptibility before surgery. Among current signals, APOE is the strongest and most biologically relevant locus. At the same time, Alzheimer's disease polygenic risk scores (AD-PRS) can capture non-APOE common-variant burden across lipid transport, endosomal trafficking, innate immune signaling, complement activity, microglial regulation, mitochondrial stress, and neurovascular integrity. Recent perioperative cohort studies have begun to test preoperative APOE-based and polygenic neurocognitive risk in surgical patients. Large delirium genetics studies also show a strong signal at the APOE locus and support overlap between delirium risk and Alzheimer's disease-related common-variant architecture. These findings support an APOE-aware framework in which APOE genotype is modeled separately from non-APOE AD-PRS. In clinical use, this genomic layer should be combined with baseline cognition, frailty, vascular comorbidity, surgery-related risk, and circulating biomarkers such as neurofilament light chain. This review summarizes the loci, molecular pathways, and translational model designs that can move preoperative genomic profiling from association to perioperative risk stratification.\n\nID: 42543397\nTitle: Autonomous intranasal delivery systems for central nervous system therapeutics.\nAbstract: Intranasal delivery provides a rapid, non-invasive route to the central nervous system, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and first-pass metabolism. However, its therapeutic potential remains constrained by the nasal cavity's complex anatomy, the restricted surface area and permeability of the olfactory epithelium, and short drug residence times. Recent advances in nanotechnology and synthetic biology have enabled the development of autonomous and programmable delivery systems that can target the olfactory epithelium, enhance brain entry and sustain therapeutic release. This review highlights current strategies for engineering intranasal drug delivery vectors that can replicate or extend cellular functions to enable autonomous nose-to-brain drug delivery. These vectors include: synthetic nanoparticles that mimic essential cellular activities and allow for modular surface modification; extracellular vesicles that naturally carry therapeutic cargo and exhibit parent-cell-derived tropism; and living therapeutics, such as engineered microbes, viruses or stem cells, that respond dynamically to host environments and can be genetically programmed for precise payload production. Emphasis is placed on the modular design of functional components, host-responsive interactions tailored to anatomical and physiological cues, and the integration of programmable functions that collectively drive delivery autonomy and therapeutic efficacy. Together, these advances position intranasal delivery as a versatile platform for treating neurological disorders, offering a foundation for future translational development.\n\nID: 42535978\nTitle: New Genetic Associations Between Alzheimer's Disease and Its Key Risk Factors.\nAbstract: This study aimed to explore shared genetic architectures underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its known risk factors. Significant common variants between AD and its risk factors were identified using GWAS data. The 1000 Genomes Project genotyping data enabled the detection of linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks and haplotype structures. Functional impact assessments, protein-protein interaction analyses, pathway mapping and enrichment studies were performed. Sixteen significant variants across nine genes were associated with AD and at least one risk factor (p\u2009\u2264\u20095\u2009\u00d7\u200910-8). Genes APOE, ABCA1 and TOMM40 showed strong associations with AD (adjusted p\u2009=\u20099.75\u2009\u00d7\u200910-9). High-confidence interactions were identified among these genes, as well as APP and LRP1, within the AD pathway. Variant rs429358 (p\u2009\u2264\u20093\u2009\u00d7\u200910-15) on the APOE gene was linked to AD, metabolic syndrome (MetS), diabetes, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and ageing. Variant rs2075650 (p\u2009\u2264\u20096\u2009\u00d7\u200910-9) on TOMM40 correlated AD risk with MetS, WHR and body mass index (BMI). Variants rs483082 (p\u2009\u2264\u20092\u2009\u00d7\u200910-32) and rs71352238 (p\u2009\u2264\u20091\u2009\u00d7\u200910-11) on APOC1 and TOMM40 were associated with AD and MetS. Variants rs4420638 (p\u2009\u2264\u20092\u2009\u00d7\u200910-34) and rs1800978 (p\u2009\u2264\u20092\u2009\u00d7\u200910-9) on APOC1 and ABCA genes were associated with AD and WHR. The rs13237518 (p\u2009\u2264\u20095\u2009\u00d7\u200910-11) was associated with AD risk in diabetic patients. Furthermore, the rs4277405 (p\u2009\u2264\u20099\u2009\u00d7\u200910-20) associated AD with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Haplotypic structures were also identified for all these variants (D' and r2\u2009\u2265\u20090.8). This study identifies genetic variants and LD blocks on APOE, ABCA1, TOMM40 and APOC1 genes shared between AD and its risk factors, revealing common genetic links and potential shared susceptibility pathways.\n\nID: 42530044\nTitle: Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Delivery of VEGF and NGF Protects Dopaminergic Neurons in 6-OHDA-Induced Parkinson's Disease Models.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by motor dysfunction. No definitive methods exist to repair damaged neurons. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) are two neuroprotective agents that work synergistically. However, these large molecular proteins have difficulty crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer superior targeting and low immunogenicity, making them excellent carriers. In this study we examined the protective effects of VEGF and NGF in a cell model and evaluated the therapeutic potential of VEGF-NGF contained within EVs in PD rats. EVs were isolated using sequential differential centrifugation and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and western blotting (WB). VEGF and NGF were loaded into the EVs using a saponin-assisted method to create VEGF@EVs, NGF@EVs, and VEGF/NGF@EVs. The viability of 6-hydroxydopamine hydrochloride (6-OHDA)-induced SH-SY5Y cells was measured using the cell counting kit-8 assay before and after treatment with VEGF and NGF. Autophagy levels were assessed using WB, and the role of autophagy was further explored using the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine. Unilateral PD rat models were established via stereotactic injection of 6-OHDA into male Sprague-Dawley rats. Behavioral changes were monitored before and after treatment. Neuronal recovery, neurotransmitter levels, and autophagy levels in the rat brains were evaluated using immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and WB. VEGF/NGF@EVs significantly enhanced the viability of 6-OHDA-induced SH-SY5Y cells. A complete autophagic process was identified as essential for this protective effect. The intranasal administration of VEGF/NGF@EVs improved motor behavior in PD rats, with performance better than that of single growth factor treatments. The number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons, TH protein expression, and dopamine content were significantly increased. In addition, the level of autophagy in the rat substantia nigra was elevated. VEGF/NGF@EVs exert protective effects in both in vitro and in vivo 6-OHDA-induced PD models by promoting autophagy, demonstrating greater efficacy than either growth factor alone. By transplanting VEGF/NGF@EVs into PD rats, we showed that these vesicles can effectively cross the BBB and deliver targeted therapy to the central nervous system. This study highlights the significant potential of EV-mediated protein transplantation strategies for treating neurological disorders.\n\nID: 42525165\nTitle: From astrocyte cholesterol synthesis to synaptic dysfunction: mechanisms of neuron-glia lipid coupling.\nAbstract: The brain contains a large proportion of the body's cholesterol, highlighting its importance in central nervous system function. Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis.\n\nID: 42507332\nTitle: Disease mechanisms and translational barriers guide nanocarrier design for nose to brain delivery in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with limited disease-modifying treatment options, partly because many therapeutic agents show insufficient brain exposure and dose-limiting systemic adverse effects after conventional administration. Nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery has emerged as a non-invasive strategy to transport therapeutics to the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, thereby partially bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Recent advances in nanomedicine and biomaterial engineering have further improved this approach by enhancing drug stability, nasal residence, mucosal transport, and brain-targeting efficiency. This review examines nanocarrier-enabled N2B delivery strategies for AD from a mechanism-guided perspective, highlighting how AD-related pathological processes shape the selection of therapeutic cargos and formulation designs. We discuss recent progress in the intranasal delivery of repurposed small molecules, natural products, insulin-related agents, peptides and proteins, extracellular vesicles, antibodies, and nucleic acid-based therapeutics. We further summarize major nanocarrier and formulation platforms, including lipid-based systems, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, extracellular vesicles, in situ gels, and device-assisted delivery technologies. Particular attention is given to the design parameters that influence N2B performance, including particle size distribution/PDI, surface charge, mucus interaction, cargo protection, targeting modification, biodistribution, and deposition reproducibility. Finally, we critically evaluate the translational challenges that continue to limit clinical application, including species differences in nasal anatomy, dose-volume restrictions, device-dependent variability, limited human pharmacokinetic evidence, manufacturing complexity, long-term safety, and regulatory requirements. By integrating disease mechanisms, nanocarrier design, and translational considerations, this review provides a structured perspective for developing more rational and clinically feasible N2B nanodelivery systems for AD.\n\nID: 42469846\nTitle: Metabolic reprogramming via SIRT2-deficient microglial large extracellular vesicles ameliorates alzheimer's pathology.\nAbstract: Current therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) offer only symptomatic relief, highlighting the urgent need for disease-modifying approaches capable of halting or reversing neurodegeneration. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have attracted growing interest as therapeutic vehicles owing to their inherent capacity to bypass the blood-brain barrier and deliver complex biological cargo to the central nervous system. Here, we examined whether large EVs (LEVs) derived from microglia with stable Sirtuin-2 knockdown (SIRT2-KD) confer the neuroprotective effects associated with SIRT2 inhibition. LEVs harvested from SIRT2-KD microglia were administered intranasally to APP/PS1 mice. We assessed microglial uptake of LEVs, along with subsequent changes in cellular metabolism, migration toward amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) plaques, phagocytic activity, and downstream pathological and behavioral outcomes. Proteomic and acetylomic profiling were employed to characterize the molecular cargo of LEVs-SIRT2-KD. LEVs-SIRT2-KD were readily internalized by microglia in vivo following intranasal delivery. Uptake of these vesicles markedly enhanced microglial bioenergetics, driving coordinated upregulation of both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. This metabolic shift was accompanied by improved microglial recruitment to A\u03b2 plaques and increased phagocytic clearance. Consequently, treated mice showed reduced A\u03b2 plaque deposition, restored synaptic integrity, and reversal of cognitive deficits. Proteomic and acetylomic analyses revealed that LEVs-SIRT2-KD are selectively enriched in proteins and acetylation modifications linked to energy metabolism and phagocytic function, offering a mechanistic basis for the observed metabolic reprogramming. Together, these results identify LEVs as a critical vesicle subtype mediating the effects of SIRT2 knockdown and support a cell-free therapeutic strategy for AD centered on EVs-driven metabolic reprogramming of microglia.\n\nID: 42362005\nTitle: Apolipoprotein E in Alzheimer's disease: A review of APOE receptors, signalling pathways and therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Apolipoprotein E, a glycoprotein, is one of the strongest genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. APOE is involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, phospholipids and other lipids, synaptic function and neuroinflammation in the CNS. One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2). The APOE gene exists in three common isoforms: APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4, with distinct structural and functional properties. The three isoforms of APOE vary in their potential to bind and transport lipids and cholesterol, receptor affinity and clearance of A\u03b2. Among the three isoforms, APOE4 is one of the strongest risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while APOE2 exerts a protective role highlighting the functional divergence among isoforms in CNS physiology. The functions of APOE are exerted through binding of APOE with members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, including LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, and APOER2. So, approaches that potentiate the protective effects of APOE, like APOE mimetics, ABCA1 agonists, targeting APOE receptors like LDLR, LRP1, APOER2, and TREM2, might offer significant therapeutic benefits in Alzheimer's disease.\n\nID: 42325550\nTitle: Exosomes: A new frontier in the treatment of neurological diseases.\nAbstract: Exosomes (Exos) are an essential class of extracellular vesicles enriched with a wide range of biologically active molecules, which gives them a unique advantage in participating in intercellular signaling and communication and serving as carriers for drug delivery. Exo-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are currently hot topics in disease research. Owing to their naturally low immunogenicity, good biocompatibility, ability to penetrate the blood\u2012brain barrier (BBB), and engineered modifications, exos have significant advantages and possible applications in the treatment of nervous system diseases. Due to the serious harm of neurological diseases to human health, they have been widely studied by researchers. Exos can be administered in a variety of ways, including intranasal administration, intracranial administration, local stereotactic injection, and encapsulation in biomaterials, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, several requirements need to be met before exo-based therapies can be implemented, such as the standardization of isolation and purification techniques, an in-depth understanding of the mechanism of action, and safety assessments and regulation for clinical translation. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the biogenesis, molecular composition, function, and delivery modes of exos and their therapeutic roles and mechanisms in neurological diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and stroke) and to discuss the current challenges and future perspectives to support ongoing research and clinical applications.\n\nID: 42275483\nTitle: Intranasal Delivery of Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles Enables RNA Cargo Entry Into the Brain.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by bacteria are potent mediators of host-microbe interactions. They modulate immune responses, deliver functional molecules and influence disease progression. However, whether bacterial EVs can access the brain and functionally affect host cells remains unclear. In this study, we engineered Escherichia coli-derived EVs by electroporating Cre recombinase mRNA (Ec EVCre) and assessed their transport and functional delivery following intranasal administration. Using mT/mG reporter mice, we observed EV uptake in the olfactory epithelium and recombination-driven GFP expression in a subset of neurons in the olfactory bulb, providing proof-of-concept for the functional delivery of bacterial EV-associated mRNA into the brain. Single-cell RNA sequencing and imaging analyses of the olfactory regions revealed neuronal and immune cell subsets as key EV targets. Microfluidic biochip chamber assays with cultured sensory neurons demonstrated that EVs undergo retrograde axonal transport from neurite terminals to the soma via signalling endosomes. Pharmacological inhibition significantly impaired EV uptake, supporting the involvement of endocytic pathways. In addition to neuronal entry, we discovered that phagocytic cells, including neutrophils and macrophages, can engulf EVCre in the nasal mucosa and migrate into the brain, providing an alternative immune-mediated route for vesicle delivery. Together, these findings indicate that bacterial EVs exploit both neuronal and phagocytic pathways to deliver functional RNA cargo into the brain, providing novel insights into microbial access to the central nervous system and its implications for neuroimmune interactions.\n\nID: 42265734\nTitle: Macrophage PSRC1 attenuates atherosclerosis via extracellular vesicle-mediated MBD2 delivery to induce PCSK9 promoter methylation in hepatocytes.\nAbstract: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is driven by dysregulated lipid metabolism and chronic inflammation. However, the mechanisms governing immune-liver crosstalk in this context remain poorly defined. Proline/serine-rich coiled-coil protein 1 (PSRC1) is a known regulator of cholesterol metabolism, but whether macrophage-derived PSRC1 influences hepatic functions via intercellular communication is unknown. The relationship between macrophage PSRC1 and hepatic PCSK9 was examined in patients with coronary artery disease and murine models. We employed AAV6-mediated macrophage-specific targeting and whole-body Psrc1\u207b/\u207b mice to evaluate cell-type-specific effects. Macrophage-hepatocyte communication was investigated using transwell systems and genetic blockade of EV secretion (sh-Rab27a). The selectivity of EV cargo loading was validated by protease protection assays and TSG101 interaction analysis. In vivo EV tracking (DiI-labeling) and ChIP-qPCR for DNMT recruitment were performed to elucidate the systemic and epigenetic mechanisms. Macrophage PSRC1 expression was significantly reduced in atherosclerotic conditions and inversely correlated with hepatic PCSK9 levels. Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models. PSRC1 was found to interact with TSG101 to promote the selective loading of MBD2 into the EV lumen, a process confirmed by protease protection. These MBD2-enriched EVs were preferentially sequestered by the liver after systemic administration. Mechanistically, transferred MBD2 functioned as an epigenetic scaffold, recruiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1/3A) to the PCSK9 promoter to drive CpG hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. In vivo, administration of MBD2-enriched EVs significantly reduced hepatic PCSK9 protein, lowered plasma cholesterol, and enhanced plaque stability in ApoE\u207b/\u207b mice. Our findings uncover a novel macrophage-liver epigenetic axis where macrophage PSRC1 controls systemic cholesterol homeostasis by regulating the EV-mediated delivery of MBD2. This \"Reader-recruits-Writer\" mechanism provides a refined understanding of immune-metabolic crosstalk and suggests that engineered EV-based MBD2 delivery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for ASCVD.\n\nID: 42251801\nTitle: CD146 extracellular vesicles accumulate at atherosclerotic lesions, reducing inflammation and atheroma burden.\nAbstract: Atherosclerosis remains the most important cause of death worldwide despite an extensive therapeutic arsenal. We previously showed that CD146, an adhesion molecule expressed by endothelial cells, is harbored by macrophages in atherosclerotic plaque and allows to reduce CCL5 and subsequent inflammation. As extracellular vesicles may serve as potential clinical delivery devices, we hypothesized that CD146 extracellular vesicles injection could be atheroprotective. We generated and purified extracellular vesicles from mouse endothelial cells deleted or not with CD146. In vitro stimulation of macrophages with CD146 extracellular vesicles induced macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype through the STAT3/IL-10 axis, whereas CD146-negative extracellular vesicles did not have any effect. We next tracked the trafficking of labeled extracellular vesicles after intravenous injection in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice and visualized their incorporation into atheroma. After bi-weekly injections of extracellular vesicles for 6 weeks, only ApoE-/- mice treated with CD146 extracellular vesicles exhibited a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque, associated with an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. We thus propose that treatment with CD146 extracellular vesicles could constitute a novel therapeutic option for reducing atherosclerosis.\n\nID: 42121153\nTitle: The lung-brain axis mediates the neuroprotective effects of nasally administered L. salivarius and its EV-delivered metabolite in vascular dementia.\nAbstract: Neuroinflammation and impaired barrier function are two prominent pathological mechanisms contributing to cognitive impairment in patients with vascular dementia (VaD). Currently, effective treatments for VaD remain limited, underscoring the clinical significance of developing novel, multi-targeted therapeutic strategies. In recent years, more and more studies have shown the connection between lung and brain, so we used nasal administration of probiotics to observe the improvement of cognitive function in VaD rats. Because the safety of the organism is uncertain, the study develop a bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) drug delivery system that delivers the key bioactive metabolite asperuloside (ASP) by modulating the microbiota-lung-brain axis, aiming to improve brain targeting and therapeutic outcomes. The results show that nasal administration of L. salivarius significantly ameliorated cognitive impairment, mitigated neuroinflammation, restored blood-brain barrier and lung barrier function, and modulated lung flora in VaD rats. Metabolomics analysis identified ASP as the principal active metabolite, although its efficacy as a standalone agent was constrained. The EA system effectively facilitated ASP delivery to brain tissue, yielding neuroprotective and barrier-repair effects. Collectively, our study shows that L. salivarius can modulate the pathophysiological processes of VaD via the \"microbiota-lung-brain axis.\" Its EVs serve as effective vehicles for delivering active metabolites, offering a novel integrated therapeutic approach for VaD involving microbial metabolism delivery.\n\nID: 41934727\nTitle: Chicoric acid enhanced brain cholesterol efflux and reduced A\u03b2 pathology via LXR-ABCA1 signaling in Alzheimer's models.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most pressing public health challenges in an aging world. However, effective therapeutic strategies are still lacking. Imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Given the established link between dysregulated lipid metabolism and amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) aggregation, we investigated whether chicoric acid (CA), a dietary polyphenol with reported lipid-modulating properties, could mitigate A\u03b2 pathology by modulating lipid metabolism in 5xFAD transgenic mice. In the brain, we found that CA upregulated the expression of liver X receptor Beta (LXR-\u03b2) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in 5xFAD mice. Through this pathway, it promoted apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipidation and enhanced the expression of A\u03b2-clearance proteins (IDE and LRP1). Notably, in the periphery, CA reshaped the gut microbiota in 5xFAD mice, which reduced serum neurotoxic bile acid levels and preserved the integrity of the peripheral A\u03b2 clearance system. Together, our study first demonstrated that CA globally regulated lipid homeostasis to alleviate A\u03b2 pathology by coordinating cerebral cholesterol efflux with peripheral bile acid metabolism. The findings facilitated exploring active compounds from traditional Chinese medicine that may reduce A\u03b2 deposition by targeting lipid metabolism pathways.\n\nID: 41776544\nTitle: Intranasal administration of human mesenchymal stromal cell-derived small extracellular vesicles delays disease progression in the SOD1(G93A) mouse model.\nAbstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron loss, with no established disease-modifying therapy. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been reported to exert neuroprotective effects in models of injury and disease, acting primarily through release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). MSC-derived sEVs (MSC-sEVs) have therefore attracted attention as a potential cell-free therapeutic approach for treating neurological conditions such as ALS. Because MSC-sEVs can cross both the nasal epithelial barrier and blood-brain barrier to reach the central nervous system (CNS), intranasal administration represents an attractive approach for repeated delivery of MSC-sEVs for long-term administration. In this study, we administered bone marrow-derived MSC-sEVs or vehicle intranasally to a SOD1(G93A) transgenic mouse model of ALS; the large majority of the sEVs had surface markers for exosomes. Dosing was for three consecutive days per week beginning one day after onset of neurological symptoms and continuing until a moribund state. Neurological score and body weight were recorded daily. Although total survival time and post-onset survival duration were not significantly prolonged by MSC-sEV treatment, MSC-sEV treatment significantly delayed progression from a mild symptom phase (NeuroScore 1) to more severe symptoms (NeuroScore 2) compared with vehicle-treated controls and showed a trend toward slower weight loss. These findings indicate that intranasal administration of MSC-sEVs can delay functional deterioration and prolong the mild impairment stage in an ALS mouse model. If translatable to human patients, such preservation of neurological function could represent a clinically meaningful outcome.\n\nID: 41763347\nTitle: Potential of intranasal delivery of human mesenchymal stem cells and extracellular vesicles for stroke therapy.\nAbstract: Cerebral ischemic stroke, caused by interrupted cerebral blood flow, remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. Current FDA-approved therapies-intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and mechanical thrombectomy-are constrained by narrow time windows (4.5-24 h) and limited accessibility. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as promising candidates for neurorestoration, yet their therapeutic efficacy is hindered by poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration and systemic entrapment. Increasing evidence indicates that MSCs exert their therapeutic effects primarily through paracrine mechanisms mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), which regulate inflammation, apoptosis, neurogenesis, and angiogenesis. However, translation of EV-based therapies from bench to bedside remains limited, largely due to inefficient delivery and the invasiveness of existing routes. Intranasal (IN) administration offers a minimally invasive approach to bypass the BBB and achieve direct, repeated delivery to the brain. This review synthesizes the mechanistic foundations, preclinical progress, and translational potential of intranasal delivery of MSCs and their EVs for ischemic stroke therapy. We highlight comparative analyses of biodistribution, cellular targets, and functional outcomes across administration routes, emphasizing how route optimization governs therapeutic efficacy. Collectively, these insights establish intranasal delivery as a practical platform for next-generation, cell-free regenerative therapies targeting ischemic brain injury. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Despite extensive investigation of stem-cell-based interventions for ischemic stroke, the influence of administration route on therapeutic outcomes remains poorly defined. This review integrates preclinical and early-phase clinical findings to delineate how delivery pathways shape biodistribution, mechanistic engagement, and neurorepair efficacy of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and their derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). By contrasting conventional intravenous and intra-arterial approaches with the emerging intranasal route, this article emphasizes a non-invasive strategy capable of bypassing the blood-brain barrier, supporting multidose regimens, and sustaining localized repair. Beyond summarizing outcomes, this work clarifies mechanistic drivers-angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and immunomodulation-that can be fine-tuned through delivery design. The synthesis provides a framework for rationally optimizing cell-free hMSC-EV therapeutics and underscores the translational promise of intranasal delivery for clinical stroke management.\n\nID: 41717224\nTitle: Changes in the brain [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+] with aging and anti-aging dietary restriction.\nAbstract: Changes in brain [NADPH]/[NADP+] and [NAD+]/[NADH] may contribute to aging. Anti-aging dietary restriction (DR) and intermittent fasting (IF) alter redox states that may contribute to their longevity effects. Pyruvate/lactate and acetoacetate/beta-hydroxybutyrate are indicators of the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial [NAD+]/[NADH], respectively, while the malate/pyruvate and isocitrate/alpha-ketoglutarate are indicators of the cytoplasmic [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Using these metabolite-pair ratios as redox indicators, the C57BL/6J mouse brain showed opposite redox changes with aging to the C57BL/6N mouse brain and human brain in the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Fasting caused universal reductive shifts in the brain cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+] and mitochondrial [NAD+]/[NADH]. The reductive shift in the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] with fasting was opposite to that occurring with anti-aging ketone ester supplementation or ketogenic diet, which have been shown to cause an oxidative shift of the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH], but a reductive shift of the cerebral cortical cytoplasmic [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Several pathways that influence redox metabolism and aging are discussed, including fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, the citric acid cycle, fatty acid beta-oxidation, glutaminolysis, the malate-aspartate shuttle, the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, the citrate-pyruvate shuttle, and the citrate-alpha-ketoglutarate shuttle. Brain proteome, brain single-cell RNA-Seq, and brain-region-specific bulk RNA-Seq data sets of aging and DR were examined, focusing on the pathways listed above to determine how they might contribute to the redox changes. Intermittent fasting has been shown to induce cyclic metabolic switching that contributes to neuroprotection and other health benefits resulting in delayed aging, while cyclic reductive redox shifts, especially in mitochondria, may be a driver of the beneficial effects.\n\nID: 41652437\nTitle: Platelet-rich plasma-derived extracellular vesicles delivered niraparib for ultrasound imaging and atherosclerosis treatment.\nAbstract: Macrophage-driven oxidative stress and chronic inflammation play pivotal roles in the progression of atherosclerosis. Given the overactivation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in atherosclerosis, PARP inhibitors have potential therapeutic potential, but their efficacy is limited due to poor in vivo targeting. Platelet-rich plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs), which inherently target inflammatory sites and mitigate oxidative stress, offer a promising delivery platform. Here, we developed NGPPEVs, a nanoplatform that employs PEVs to deliver niraparib, a PARP inhibitor, followed by encapsulation of Ca(HCO\u2083)\u2082 to generate gas within cells, thereby combining targeted therapy with ultrasound imaging capabilities. In vitro, NGPPEVs significantly scavenged intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppressed pathways related to oxidative stress and cholesterol metabolism. Mechanistically, NGPPEVs suppressed foam cell formation by inhibiting the PARP1-IL-6-CD36 axis, leading to significant downregulation of the key scavenger receptor CD36. In apolipoprotein E-deficient mice fed a high-fat high-cholesterol diet, NGPPEVs demonstrated superior therapeutic efficacy, effectively reducing atherosclerotic plaque area and enhancing plaque stability. Collectively, NGPPEVs have great potential in the precise diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis.\n\nID: 41503985\nTitle: The Role of Exosomes as Endogenous Nanocarriers for Targeted Drug Delivery: Isolation, Engineering, and Clinical Progress in Neurological and Other Diseases.\nAbstract: Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that carry a variety of biomolecules, including nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, and they play a vital role in intercellular communication. These endogenous carriers offer several advantages over conventional nanocarriers, such as liposomes. These advantages include high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, making them a promising platform for targeted drug delivery. In this review, we systematically summarize the biological characteristics of exosomes, methods for their isolation and purification, strategies for drug loading (including endogenous and exogenous approaches), and surface engineering techniques (such as genetic engineering and chemical modification) to enhance targeting and therapeutic efficacy, based on a comprehensive PubMed literature search. We particularly focus on the modification of engineered exosomes as drug delivery systems in various clinical contexts, covering multiple diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue repair. Administration routes include oral, subcutaneous, intranasal, and intravenous delivery. While exosomes have shown promise in preclinical studies, challenges remain in terms of large-scale production, standardized isolation, drug loading efficiency, and safety evaluation. Herein, we aim to provide a theoretical foundation and suggest future directions for developing exosomes as a next-generation drug delivery platform.\n\nID: 41484169\nTitle: Plant-derived extracellular vesicles for itraconazole delivery across the blood-brain barrier for potential glioblastoma treatment.\nAbstract: Background A major challenge in central nervous system disorders such glioblastoma includes the presence of a blood-brain barrier which restricts the delivery of therapeutic agents to the brain, thereby limiting the effectiveness of most conventional treatments. Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification.\n\nID: 41425914\nTitle: Peripheral CHI3L1 expression is associated with APOE \u03b54 status in early-onset Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: YKL-40 (CHI3L1) is a glycoprotein secreted by reactive astrocytes and peripheral immune cells, implicated in inflammation and tissue remodeling in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While elevated CHI3L1 levels have been observed in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, its expression at the transcript level in peripheral blood - and modulation by genetic risk factors such as APOE \u03b54 - remains poorly understood. We analyzed peripheral blood CHI3L1 mRNA expression in a well-characterized cohort comprising individuals with biomarker-confirmed AD (n\u202f=\u202f34), mild cognitive impairment (MCI; n\u202f=\u202f31), and cognitively healthy controls (HC; n\u202f=\u202f21). CHI3L1 expression levels were compared across diagnostic groups and stratified by APOE \u03b54 status, age at onset (early-onset < 65\u202fyears; late-onset \u2265 65), and sex. Correlations were examined between CHI3L1 and inflammatory gene transcripts (IL1B, TNF, MMP9, LRP1, and TREM2). Peripheral CHI3L1 expression was elevated in individuals with early-onset AD (EOAD), particularly among APOE \u03b54 carriers (EOAD APOE \u03b54+, n\u202f=\u202f13 vs. EOAD APOE \u03b54-, n\u202f=\u202f8; p\u202f=\u202f0.026). Stratified analyses revealed an exploratory association between CHI3L1 expression, APOE genotype, and sex, with the highest levels observed in female \u03b54 carriers with EOAD. Across diagnostic groups, CHI3L1 levels positively correlated with transcripts of IL1B, MMP9, and LRP1, with the strongest associations again in APOE \u03b54\u202f+\u202findividuals. Notably, these effects were more pronounced in the MCI and AD groups than in healthy controls, indicating early immune activation in at-risk individuals. Our exploratory findings indicate that peripheral CHI3L1 expression may reflect APOE \u03b54-linked immune activity, with a trend toward higher expression in EOAD and in female \u03b54 carriers. The observed genotype- and sex-dependent expression patterns indicate preliminary differences in peripheral immune activity that warrant replication in larger cohorts. Peripheral CHI3L1 may thus serve as a hypothesis-generating marker of genotype-linked inflammatory phenotypes rather than a validated biomarker.\n\nID: 41399181\nTitle: Engineering exosomes for Alzheimer's disease: Multi-target therapeutic strategies from pathogenesis to clinical translation.\nAbstract: The complex pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), combined with the presence of the blood\u2012brain barrier (BBB), severely limits the effectiveness of conventional therapeutic approaches. Engineered exosomes-nanoscale extracellular vesicles of natural origin-have emerged as a promising platform for innovative AD therapy due to their excellent biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and intrinsic ability to cross the BBB. This review provides a systematic overview of the synthetic and structural biological characteristics of exosomes, with a focus on their functionalisation through physical, chemical and genetic modifications. These approaches enable the targeted loading of therapeutic cargo and the conjugation of brain-targeting peptides, thereby facilitating precise delivery to specific brain regions and offering a multi-target therapeutic strategy for AD. We further examine the potential of engineered exosomes in modulating core AD pathological pathways, including amyloid-beta deposition, tau hyperphosphorylation, neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction, and highlight their utility as an integrated delivery system for the co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents to achieve synergistic therapeutic effects. Finally, key challenges in clinical translation are addressed, such as scalable production, standardised drug loading protocols and comprehensive assessment of safety and immunogenicity. Unlike previous reviews that primarily focus on general engineering techniques, this article emphasises a rational design strategy tailored for multi-target synergistic therapy and presents a comprehensive roadmap from basic research to clinical application, thereby providing both theoretical insights and practical guidance for the development of next-generation AD treatments. KEY POINTS: A multidimensional approach combining physical, chemical, and genetic modifications equips exosomes with brain-targeted peptides, enhancing their capability for precise brain delivery in Alzheimer's disease (AD) Engineered exosomes are designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and provide stimuli-responsive release of therapeutic agents, enabling simultaneous clearance of amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, and inhibition of neuroinflammation. The transition from preclinical success to early-phase human trials is underway, with intranasal administration emerging as a promising, non-invasive method for brain drug delivery. A well-defined plan for clinical translation includes scalable Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) production, rigorous safety assessments, and biomarker-guided clinical trial design to facilitate clinical application.\n\nID: 41369342\nTitle: Orthobiologics and Peptide Therapy for Central Nervous System Repair in Neurodegenerative Conditions.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease remain the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders associated with aging and continue to lack curative treatments. Their pathophysiology is often multifaceted, encompassing protein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic neuroinflammation, synaptic degeneration, and vascular compromise. This complex landscape reduces the effectiveness of single-target pharmacological agents and underscores the need for therapies capable of acting across multiple axes. Orthobiologics and peptide-based strategies exemplify this approach. Autologous cellular alternatives such as platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirates, mesenchymal stromal cell derivatives, and extracellular vesicles deliver paracrine signals that can reprogram glia, preserve mitochondrial function, and promote synaptic and vascular repair. Peptide therapeutics, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and novel sequences targeting protein aggregation or mitochondrial pathways, provide complementary precision by engaging defined receptors and intracellular cascades. Together, these modalities converge on mechanisms central to circuit preservation rather than symptomatic relief alone. Preclinical studies across Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease demonstrate consistent neuroprotective and functional benefits, and early human trials support feasibility and safety. The translational path forward requires standardized preparation, biomarker integration, optimized delivery routes such as intranasal administration, and regulatory frameworks adapted to biologic therapies. This review synthesizes current evidence on orthobiologics and peptides in neurodegeneration, outlines safety and translational considerations, and highlights future directions, including rational combinations and biomarker-driven trials. By uniting the broad signaling capacity of orthobiologics with the precision of peptides, neurology can move beyond symptomatic care toward regenerative strategies that aim to preserve neural circuits and improve long-term outcomes in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.\n\nID: 41310241\nTitle: Advances in Intranasal Delivery of Exosomes for Central Nervous System Disorders.\nAbstract: Central nervous system disorders are major global health challenges that contribute to significant morbidity and mortality. Traditional therapeutic strategies often face substantial limitations, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier, which restricts the delivery of pharmacological agents to the brain and consequently affects treatment effectiveness. In recent years, in order to enhance the efficacy of the central nervous system treatments, exosome-based approaches have gained interest. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) secreted by cells, present a feasible therapeutic strategy due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and transport bioactive molecules. Reflecting the traits of their parent cells (e.g., glioma stem cells and glioblastoma multiforme), exosomes can be isolated from body fluids, which enhances their clinical applicability. Additionally, intranasal delivery provides a non-invasive method to administer exosomes, using the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly target the brain. This method shows great promise in enhancing therapeutic efficacy for CNS disorders. However, challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance, enzymatic degradation, and limited bioavailability reduce efficacy. Advances in exosome engineering, nanocarrier systems, and novel delivery devices are under investigation to mitigate these constraints. However, clinical translation requires further research to guarantee safety, consistency, and scalability. In this context, intranasal exosome delivery holds considerable promise as a non-invasive strategy for central nervous system disorder treatment, contingent on overcoming the current biological and technical barriers.\n\nID: 41304786\nTitle: Nanoparticle-Mediated Nose-to-Brain Delivery for Ischemic Stroke Therapy: Preclinical Insights.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke remains a major cause of mortality and long-term disability, yet current therapeutic strategies are largely limited to reperfusion approaches such as intravenous thrombolysis and thrombectomy, which are constrained by narrow treatment windows and the risk of complications. Moreover, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) severely restricts drug penetration into the injured brain, limiting the translation of promising neuroprotective agents into clinical success. Intranasal (IN) delivery has emerged as a compelling alternative route that bypasses the BBB and enables rapid access to the central nervous system through olfactory, trigeminal, and perivascular pathways. This narrative review highlights recent advances in preclinical research on IN therapeutics for ischemic stroke, ranging from small molecules and biologics to nucleic acids and cell-based therapies. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of nanotechnology, including extracellular vesicles, liposomes, and inorganic nanoparticles, which enhance drug stability, targeting, and bioavailability. Studies demonstrate that IN delivery of growth factors, cytokines, and engineered stem cells can promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis, white matter repair, and functional recovery, while nanocarriers further expand the therapeutic potential. Overall, intranasal delivery represents a promising and non-invasive strategy to overcome the limitations of conventional stroke therapies, offering new avenues for neuroprotection and regeneration that warrant further investigation toward clinical translation.\n\nID: 41294531\nTitle: Cell Membrane- and Vesicle-Based Bionic Nanodrugs: Applications in Central Nervous System Diseases and Exploration of Nasal-Cerebral Delivery.\nAbstract: Central nervous system (CNS) diseases exhibit high incidence rates, and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses a major obstacle to drug delivery. Conventional drug delivery methods not only show limited therapeutic efficacy but also cause significant side effects. Intranasal administration offers a new strategy for CNS therapy by bypassing the BBB through the unique nasal-brain pathway, while nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs) can improve drug delivery efficiency. On this basis, biomimetic drug delivery systems (BDDSs) based on cell membrane structure have been developed. The combination of nanoparticles modified by cell membranes or cell membrane-derived vesicles with carriers such as hydrogels creates a drug delivery system that utilizes a unique transnasal-to-brain pathway, opening new avenues for treating CNS disorders. This paper systematically reviews the classification, characteristics, and preparation strategies of BDDSs, while analyzing the anatomical pathways and physiological mechanisms of nasal-cerebral delivery. Furthermore, it delves into the biogenesis mechanisms of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs). For CNS disorders, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), ischemic stroke (IS), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and Parkinson's disease (PD), this paper presents diverse applications and challenges of BDDSs in nasal-cerebral delivery.\n\nID: 41279801\nTitle: Beyond the Genotype: A Multi-Omic Analysis of APOEe4's Role in Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by widespread molecular dysregulation, with the APOEe4 allele recognized as its strongest genetic risk factor. However, the mechanisms by which APOEe4 drives distinct molecular changes - whether by exacerbating pathology or triggering compensatory responses - remain incompletely understood. We generated and analyzed proteomic, epigenetic, and genetic data from post-mortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex samples of a uniquely APOEe4-enriched subset of the Religious Orders Study and Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP). Specifically, we generated DIA LC-MS proteomic data (n = 302), analyzed previously generated DNA methylation profiles from our group (n = 310), and used published whole-genome sequencing data (n = 254) to compute polygenic risk scores (PRS). In this cohort, 69% (n = 214) were APOEe4 carriers, and 19.6% (n = 42) of them showed no pathological evidence of AD based on NIA-Reagan criteria, enabling identification of APOEe4-related risk and resilience mechanisms. In the absence of AD, APOEe4 carriers exhibited lower levels of 27 proteins, suggesting early synaptic (e.g., VAMP1, SYN3, CASKIN1) and metabolic (e.g., GLUD1, PI4KA) vulnerability. By contrast, APOEe4 carriers with AD displayed marked upregulation of inflammatory and proteostatic proteins (e.g., GNAO1, AHNAK, FGG, HEBP1, APEX1, RAB4A, SLC12A5, LRP1, BAG6) and hypermethylation of cg06329447 in ELAVL4. Network analyses highlighted convergent disruptions in synaptic transmission, metabolism, and proteostasis - key pathways altered in APOEe4-associated AD. Mediation analyses identified GRIPAP1 and GSTK1 as top protein mediators (accounting for ~26-33% of APOEe4's effect), with VAMP1, CASKIN1, DPP3, SYN3, and FGG each contributing ~9-15%. ELAVL4 hypermethylation also mediated ~12% of the APOEe4 effect, linking epigenetic dysregulation to disease risk. To assess whether the identified proteins reflected broader genetic risk for AD or were specific to APOEe4, we calculated PRS both excluding and including the APOE genomic region. While the non-APOE PRS showed no association with identified molecular markers, the APOE-inclusive PRS was significantly associated with eight AD-related proteins in carriers, indicating they are not explained by polygenic risk outside of APOE. Finally, predictive modeling stratified by APOEe4 status revealed that in non-carriers, PRS most effectively classified AD (AUC = 0.73), whereas in carriers, proteomic and epigenetic markers outperformed PRS (AUC up to 0.74). Together, these findings demonstrate that APOEe4 confers AD risk through early synaptic and metabolic disruptions and later-stage inflammatory and epigenetic changes, laying the groundwork for genotype-tailored biomarker development and therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 41252430\nTitle: Nose-to-Brain Delivery of Chlorella vulgaris Extracellular Vesicles for Antidepressant Effects.\nAbstract: Current antidepressants face limitations due to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), systemic side effects and delayed onset. Here, we engineered an intranasal thermosensitive hydrogel (EVs@IN) encapsulating Chlorella vulgaris-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) for sustained nose-to-brain delivery. EVs@IN significantly enhanced nasal mucosal retention and facilitated targeted transport of EVs to the hippocampus via olfactory pathways, while minimizing pulmonary exposure and clearance. In mouse models of depression (LPS-induced and CUMS), intranasal EVs@IN elicited rapid and potent alleviation of depressive- and anxiety-like behaviours. Mechanistically, EVs modulated astrocyte phenotypic transformation, reducing the release of neurotoxic complement C3 and suppressing neuroinflammation. Concurrently, they activated the Nrf2-Pgc-1\u03b1 pathway, enhanced antioxidant defences (elevated SOD and GSH), mitigated oxidative stress and restored synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Furthermore, we demonstrated the capacity of EVs to serve as efficient drug carriers for brain delivery. EVs@IN exhibited excellent long-term biocompatibility in vivo. Our findings establish plant-derived EVs within a sustained-release intranasal platform as a promising, scalable and BBB-bypassing strategy for the rapid treatment of depression and potentially other neuropsychiatric disorders.\n\nID: 41226793\nTitle: ABC Transporters, APOE, CYP46A1, and LRP1 Gene Polymorphisms as Markers of Dementia Development in Patients with Hyperlipidemia.\nAbstract: In an aging society, solving problems associated with the diagnosis and treatment of dementia-related diseases represents a serious challenge. The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of applying molecular biology methods to test polymorphisms recognized in the global literature as potentially useful in assessing the risk of developing dementia in a group of patients with hyperlipidemia. A sample of 203 patients: 109 diagnosed with both dementia and hyperlipidemia, 94 with hyperlipidemia, and 101 individuals as an allele frequency control group-were genotyped. Additional data about cognitive decline and neuropsychological assessment were collected. Among all the studied polymorphisms, the frequency of the ABCA1 rs2230806 polymorphism differed between the analyzed groups. The GG genotype (p = 0.0002, RR = 3.22, CI = 1.63 \u00f7 6.37) and the G allele (p = 0.0007, RR = 1.53, CI = 1.19 \u00f7 1.97) were more frequent in patients diagnosed with dementia, specifically in those with Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, the GG genotype was more common in individuals with a shorter disease duration and lower scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, and consequently, with greater cognitive function deficits during early stages of the diagnostic process. ABCA1 rs2230806 genotyping is a potential marker for the early identification of dementia risk in patients with hyperlipidemia, which supports the validity of exploring options for incorporating diagnostics based on molecular biology methods.\n\nID: 41222729\nTitle: The Synergistic Role of ApoE4 and GSK3\u03b2 in Alzheimer's Disease: Pathological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by significant cognitive decline. Glycogen synthase kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3\u03b2), a key regulator in the pathological process of AD, exacerbates neuronal damage by phosphorylating tau proteins and promoting A\u03b2 production. The activity of GSK3\u03b2 is modulated by multiple signaling cascades, including the PI3K/AKT and Wnt/\u03b2-catenin transduction pathways. Furthermore, Apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (ApoE4) has been identified as a major genetic risk factor for increased susceptibility to AD. ApoE4 aggravates lipid metabolism disorders by interfering with LRP1 receptor function, inhibiting insulin signaling, and promoting the release of inflammatory factors (IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) and GSK3\u03b2. Specifically, ApoE4 may intensify the pathological process of AD by interacting with GSK3\u03b2, altering the balance of lipid metabolism in the body, regulating GSK3\u03b2 activity, and modulating neuroinflammatory responses. This article systematically reviews the synergistic mechanisms of ApoE4 and GSK3\u03b2 in AD and provides a new theoretical basis and potential intervention strategies for early diagnosis and targeted therapy of AD.\n\nID: 41177462\nTitle: Nasal-to-brain siRNA delivery based on trace amine associated receptor for improving cognitive function.\nAbstract: Gene-based therapies for central nervous system (CNS) disorders face substantial challenges in overcoming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to effectively target brain tissues. The nasal-to-brain delivery route has gained increasing attention as it bypasses the BBB, facilitating faster drug delivery to the lesion site while minimizing systemic side effects. Here, we developed a nasal-to-brain delivery system to administer small interfering RNA (siRNA) for the treatment of radiation-induced brain injury (RBI). RNA sequencing revealed that the p53 signaling pathway was predominantly enriched in the hippocampus, with significant upregulation of Alox12B expression in RBI mice. To improve the delivery of siRNA targeting Alox12B, we engineered spermidine-modified ginseng-derived extracellular vesicles (S-GEVs) nanoparticles, termed S-GEVs@siRNA. These nanoparticles leveraged the targeting capabilities of spermidine for olfactory receptor-trace amine associated receptor (TAAR), enhancing siRNA delivery and therapeutic efficacy. After intranasal administration, the nanoparticles were efficiently internalized by olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) via the olfactory nerve pathway. The nanoparticles then escaped lysosomes, releasing siRNA into the cytoplasm, leading to gene downregulation and therapeutic benefits. Our results demonstrated that the designed nanoparticles were absorbed by the ORNs labeled with the Olfactory Marker Protein (OMP) and TAAR5 and successfully entered the olfactory bulb and the brain. Treatment with these nanoparticles significantly reduced p53-mediated neuronal ferroptosis and improved synaptic function both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, S-GEVs@siRNA nanoparticles rapidly reached the olfactory bulb through TAAR-mediated endocytosis, entered hippocampal neurons, downregulated Alox12B expression, exerted neuroprotective effects, and alleviated RBI-induced cognitive dysfunction. The designed nasal-to-brain delivery system holds great promise for treating various CNS diseases.\n\nID: 41140213\nTitle: The Role of Lipoprotein and Gut Microbiome in Alzheimer's Disease: A Review of Novel Findings and Potential Applications.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is inadequately comprehended, with hypotheses implicating amyloid-\u03b2, tau pathology, mitochondrial dysfunction, and epigenetic factors. Recent research underscores the significance of lipoproteins and the gut microbiota in the etiology of AD. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), particularly the E4 subtype, emerges as a key genetic risk factor, influencing oxidative stress, synaptic defects, glucose metabolism, and amyloid-\u03b2 clearance. Lipoprotein receptors, such as LRP-1, also influence the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, indicating potential for therapeutic applications. Novel therapies targeting lipoproteins, such as ALZ-801 and IDOL inhibitors, show promise in preclinical and clinical trials. Concurrently, the gut microbiome's impact on AD is increasingly recognized. Dysbiosis correlates with inflammation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and neurotransmitter imbalances. Gut-derived metabolites, including phenylalanine and isoleucine, promote Th1 cell activation and microglial dysfunction, exacerbating AD pathology. Interventions, like probiotics, GV-971, and polyphenols, demonstrate efficacy in restoring microbial balance and mitigating cognitive decline. Crucially, bidirectional interactions between lipoproteins and the gut microbiome are implicated in AD. ApoE genotypes influence gut microbial composition, while microbiota- derived short-chain fatty acids and endotoxins modulate lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation. These interactions, mediated via the gut-brain axis, highlight novel therapeutic avenues. Current FDA-approved AD drugs face limitations in efficacy and side effects, underscoring the need for innovative strategies targeting lipoprotein-gut microbiome crosstalk. Integrating insights into lipoprotein biology and gut microbiota dynamics may offer transformative potential for AD treatment, emphasizing combinatorial approaches to modulate these interconnected pathways. Further research is warranted to elucidate mechanistic links and translate preclinical findings into clinical applications.\n\nID: 41102844\nTitle: Intranasal delivery of DPSC-derived small extracellular vesicles-encased phloroglucinol attenuates non-motor and motor deficits and promotes neurogenesis in an in vivo rat model of Parkinson's disease.\nAbstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by dopaminergic (DA) neuron degeneration in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) driven by oxidative stress, inflammation, and impaired neurogenesis. Phloroglucinol, a polyphenolic antioxidant, has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in PD models but suffers from limited clinical applicability due to poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) exhibit neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties and serve as promising vehicles for targeted drug delivery across the BBB. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intranasally administered sEV-encased phloroglucinol (sEV-Phl) in a chronic MPTP rat model of PD. DPSC-derived sEV were isolated via density gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic-Light-Scattering (DLS), and CD marker expression. Phloroglucinol was encased in sEV (sEV-Phl) using sonication. Antioxidant properties were tested in vitro using an H2DCF.DA assay in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to 6-OHDA. Chronic MPTP-treated male Wistar rats received intranasal sEV-Phl, with motor and non-motor behaviours evaluated up to 4-weeks post-MPTP treatment. TH-positive neurons, neurogenesis (Ki67, BrdU and FOXA2), lipid-peroxidation, and neurotransmitter-levels were analyzed. sEV biodistribution was tracked via near-infrared imaging and localization in neuronal and glial cells was confirmed with PKH-26 labelling, with confocal-imaging further verifying localization in neuronal and glial cells. TNF-\u03b1 expression was assessed as a marker of neuroinflammation. sEV displayed high purity and homogeneity. sEV-Phl significantly reduced oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo, as indicated by decreased ROS and lipid peroxidation levels. sEV-Phl treated MPTP rats demonstrated marked improvement in motor and non-motor behaviours compared to MPTP rats. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased TH-positive neurons and enhanced neurogenesis in the SNpc of sEV-Phl-treated animals. Biodistribution studies confirmed efficient midbrain targeting of sEV, which were localized to dopaminergic-neurons, astrocytes and microglia. sEV-Phl also significantly reduced TNF-\u03b1 expression, indicating decreased neuroinflammation. This study provides the first instance of using DPSC-derived sEV as a delivery vehicle for phloroglucinol in a PD model. sEV-Phl demonstrated significant neuroprotective-effects, enhanced DA-neuron survival and neurogenesis, and reduced neuroinflammation. Intranasal delivery of sEV-Phl represents a promising non-invasive therapeutic strategy for PD, offering a dual benefit of antioxidative and neurogenic support.\n\nID: 41090985\nTitle: The Intranasal Administration of Transferrin-Loaded Extracellular Vesicles Enhances\u00a0Remyelination.\nAbstract: Oligodendrocytes (OLs), the myelinating glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS), are impaired in demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). OL loss is characterized by inflammation, immune cell activity, and a failure of remyelination due to oligodendrocyte dysfunction and death, ultimately leading to demyelination and axonal damage. Given their central role in maintaining CNS integrity, therapeutic strategies aimed at protecting or restoring OL function are essential. Moreover, the limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier to many therapeutic compounds remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for innovative delivery approaches. Among these, the intranasal (IN) route has emerged as a promising noninvasive strategy for targeting the CNS. Within this therapeutic framework, Transferrin (Tf), a glycoprotein involved in iron homeostasis, has been shown to promote both developmental myelination and remyelination by redistributing and delivering iron, an essential cofactor for OL maturation and oxidative metabolism. In parallel, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained increasing attention as mediators of intercellular communication and potential drug delivery vehicles to the brain, offering advantages such as minimal immunogenicity, efficient cellular uptake, and cargo protection from degradation. In this review, the potential of EVs as biological carriers of molecules to promote remyelination is discussed, with a particular focus on Tf delivered via the intranasal route, as well as the cellular mechanisms underlying this internalization.\n\nID: 41089833\nTitle: Therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles derived from Platycladus Orientalis leaf in treating anxiety, depression, and insomnia.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate intercellular communication by transferring bioactive molecules. While animal-derived EVs are well studied, plant-derived EVs (plant-EVs) are emerging as stable, low-immunogenic nanocarriers with therapeutic potential. Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco, used in traditional medicine, contains neuroactive compounds. This study evaluated the effects of P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs in rodent models of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. EVs were isolated by differential ultracentrifugation, characterized by electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis, and their bioactive components identified by GC -MS. Uptake was assessed in PC12 cells. Behavioral and biochemical effects were tested in mice subjected to chronic restraint stress (CRS), chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia. Key outcomes included social interaction, sucrose preference, Morris water maze performance, sleep parameters, neurotransmitter levels (5-HT, GABA), and inflammatory markers. P. orientalis EVs exhibited bilayer vesicle morphology (\u223c100 nm) and contained abundant volatile compounds, particularly \u03b1-pinene. They were internalized by PC12 cells and reduced corticosterone-induced injury. In vivo, intranasal EV administration alleviated anxiety-like behaviors in CRS mice, restored sucrose preference and cognition in CUMS mice, and improved sleep onset and duration in PCPA-induced insomnia. Across models, EVs normalized serum and hippocampal 5-HT and GABA levels, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and increased TGF-\u03b2 expression. P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs exert significant anxiolytic, antidepressant, and soporific effects through multimodal mechanisms involving neurotransmitter regulation and anti-inflammatory activity. Intranasal administration offers an effective strategy to bypass the blood -brain barrier, supporting the translational potential of plant-EVs as novel therapeutics for psychiatric disorders.\n\nID: 41072188\nTitle: Changes in the public IgM repertoire and its idiotypic connectivity in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are prevalent neurodegenerative disorders. Early diagnosis is challenging due to the lack of definitive biomarkers and reliance on invasive procedures. Immune biomarkers, particularly those reflecting the interaction between the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral immune system, have shown promise for non-invasive detection through blood samples. This study investigates the reactivity of serum IgM and IgG from AD and FTD patients against a library of mimotopes representing public IgM reactivities in healthy donors. Serum samples from AD, FTD, and other neurodegenerative dementias (ND) and controls were tested on peptide microarrays. The samples were pooled to mitigate individual variability. The reactivity data were analyzed using graphs to represent the cross-reactivity networks. The analysis revealed distinct reactivity patterns for the studied groups. Public IgM reactivities showed significant correlations with neurodegenerative conditions, with AD and FTD exhibiting loss or gain of specific IgM reactivities. Graph analysis highlighted significant differences between disease and control groups in graph density, clustering, and assortativity parameters. Mimotopes of IgM reactivities lost in dementia, particularly in AD, exhibited significant homology to HCDR3 sequences of human antibodies. Furthermore, clusters of reactivities showed significant distinctions between AD and FTD, with IgG reactivities providing additional differentiation. Several self-proteins related to neurodegeneration proved to have sequences homologous to disease-associated mimotopes. Interestingly, the beta-propeller signature sequence YWTD found in ApoE's receptor LRP1 proved a characteristic epitope for IgG in FTD but not AD. At the same time, the respective public gM mimotope YWTDSSR coincides with a highly conserved sequence in many microorganisms and sequences found in human HCDR3. Thus, the public IgM repertoire, characterized by its broad reactivity and inherent autoreactivity, offers valuable insights into the immunological alterations in neurodegenerative diseases. The study supports the potential of IgM and IgG reactivity profiles as another compartment of non-invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and differentiating AD and FTD.\n\nID: 40972159\nTitle: Targeting the blood-brain barrier with lipoprotein-mimicking nanoparticles loaded with flurbiprofenaxetil and coated with apolipoprotein E3.\nAbstract: In previous studies, it has been demonstrated that lipoprotein-mimicking nanoparticles with a solid lipid core of cholesteryl oleate, a lecithin coating and adsorptively bound apolipoprotein E3 (ApoE) may serve as a potential vehicle for drug delivery to the central nervous system. In this study, the impact of drug characteristics, particularly lipophilicity, was evaluated to achieve a stable incorporation of model drugs into these lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs). This study explored the lipophilicity of flurbiprofen, a potential drug in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and its prodrug flurbiprofenaxetil across varying pH levels. Our findings highlight how flurbiprofen's lipophilicity was influenced by its protonation state, affecting its incorporation into LNPs and consequently its release behaviour under physiological conditions, while flurbiprofenaxetil showed minimal variations due to its chemical structure. We also investigated the interaction between lipoprotein mimicking nanoparticles and primary porcine brain capillary endothelial cells to improve drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Permeation studies indicated that modification with ApoE enhanced the bidirectional permeability of LNPs across the BBB through receptor-mediated transcytosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated and identified the uptake mechanism involving the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), allowing these LNPs to be recognized by the same receptors as endogenous lipoproteins. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of ApoE modified LNPs as a promising strategy for targeted drug delivery to the brain.\n\nID: 40933257\nTitle: Supplementation with fish oil reduces \u03b1\u03b2 42 burden and shifts \u03b1\u03b2 precursor protein processing toward non-amyloidogenic pathways in a rat model of hyperglycaemic Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: This study examines the influence of fish oil on brain amyloidogenesis in hyperglycaemic Alzheimer's disease animal models, emphasising the potential of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil to prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease. Thirty males of Wistar rats were divided into five groups: 1) control rats (NS); 2) rats supplemented with 3 g/kg of fish oil (NS+FO3); 3)\u00a0rats injected via intraperitoneal (i.p) with Streptozotocin-Lipopolysaccharide (STZ-LPS); 4)\u00a0rats injected with STZ-LPS (i.p) and supplemented with 1 g/kg of fish oil (STZ-LPS+FO1), and 5) rats injected with STZ-LPS (i.p) and supplemented with 3 g/kg of fish oil (STZ-LPS+FO3). The cerebral brain was extracted for examination, and the \u03b1\u03b2 precursor protein (APP) level was measured using an immunoassay kit, while \u03b1\u03b2 42 expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry staining. Brain amyloidosis-related genes were quantified using real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The results revealed that fish oil supplementation significantly increased APP levels and reduced \u03b1\u03b2 42 accumulations in STZ-LPS rats. Moreover, the Apolipoprotein E, \u03b54 isoform (ApoE-4) and Beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (Bace-1) genes were downregulated while the Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (Lrp-1) gene was upregulated in STZ-LPS rats treated with fish oil, thereby elucidating the impact of fish oil on diminishing \u03b1\u03b2 buildup in the brain. Therefore, this study contributes to a growing body of evidence supporting dietary interventions as adjunctive strategies for the prevention or delay of Alzheimer's disease progression in metabolic dysfunction.\n\nID: 42603494\nTitle: Extracellular vesicle lipidomics for disease diagnostics and mechanism-informed discovery.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-released nanoparticles whose lipid membranes enclose molecular cargo and contribute to vesicle stability, uptake, and biological activity. EV composition encodes and transmits biological information, reflecting cellular origin, membrane remodeling, metabolism, and disease-associated stress. This makes EV lipidomics highly relevant for diagnostics, therapeutics, mechanism-informed discovery, and emerging biotechnology. Recent advances in isolation, characterization, and lipidomics approaches are making EV lipid profiles increasingly interpretable. At the same time, low sample biomass, heterogeneity, co-isolated particles, extraction bias, and variable confidence in lipid detection, annotation, and quantification remain important design considerations. In this review, we discuss how recent EV lipidomics studies are moving beyond untargeted biomarker discovery toward mechanistic questions about membrane adaptation, cellular origin, intercellular communication, and function. We then examine applications in cancer and neurodegeneration, where recent work illustrates the biological and biotechnological potential of EV lipidomes. We argue that the next phase of EV lipidomics will require stronger integration of EV characterization, quality controls, matched biofluid comparisons, and functional assays. With rigorous analytical design, EV lipidomics is evolving into a powerful platform for mechanistic discovery, diagnostic development, and therapeutic delivery.\n\nID: 42589633\nTitle: Exosomes as Emerging Therapeutic and Diagnostic Platforms: Biological Functions, Clinical Applications, and Translational Challenges.\nAbstract: Exosomes are small membrane-bound extracellular vesicles of endosomal origin that play pivotal roles in intercellular communication by transferring proteins, lipids, metabolites, and nucleic acids. Increasing evidence indicates that these vesicles participate in diverse physiological and pathological processes, including immune regulation, tissue repair, tumor progression, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular homeostasis. Their distinctive biological properties have consequently generated considerable interest in their development as diagnostic tools, therapeutic agents, and drug-delivery platforms. Recent progress in exosome biology and biogenesis, together with technological advances in vesicle isolation, characterization, engineering, and large-scale production, has accelerated their preclinical development and early clinical translation. Nevertheless, substantial challenges-including donor-cell heterogeneity, low production yields, insufficiently standardized protocols, and regulatory uncertainty-must be addressed before widespread clinical implementation can be achieved. This narrative review integrates current knowledge of exosome biology, diagnostic and therapeutic applications, and engineering strategies. It further examines major translational barriers and outlines future priorities for advancing exosome-based technologies toward precision medicine.\n\nID: 42587777\nTitle: Exercise as a Systemic Prevention and Management for Alzheimer's Disease: Restoring Brain-Body Homeostasis Through Metabolic, Neurovascular, Anti-Inflammatory, and Regenerative Mechanisms.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide and remains a major unmet medical challenge in aging societies. Although amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques and tau pathology are hallmark features of AD, the limited efficacy of many A\u03b2- and tau-targeted therapies suggests that AD arises from systemic and cerebral dysfunction. Aging-associated homeostatic failure-including hepatic metabolic, vascular, neuroendocrine, inflammatory, oxidative, and mitochondrial dysfunctions-promotes the accumulation of neurotoxic A\u03b2 and tau species, ultimately driving neurodegeneration and impairing endogenous neuroregeneration. Emerging evidence suggests that regular physical exercise induces metabolic, cardiovascular, and neuroendocrine adaptations, improving hepatic metabolic function, cerebral blood flow, oxygen delivery, mitochondrial activity, waste clearance pathways, and brain health. Exercise-induced musculoskeletal-brain crosstalk further contributes to these benefits through the release of myokines and extracellular vesicles, which facilitate systemic intercellular communication to regulate neurovascular function, neuroplasticity, and neuroregeneration. Collectively, these adaptations reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress while enhancing resilience across interconnected peripheral and cerebral systems. Therefore, physical exercise may represent a multifaceted preventive and therapeutic strategy capable of restoring brain-body homeostasis and mitigating AD progression. This comprehensive review discusses aging-associated systemic mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis and summarizes recent advances in the understanding of exercise-mediated protection against AD progression.\n\nID: 42528139\nTitle: Lineage-tailored vesicles from human retinal ganglion-like cells drive metabolic homeostasis and bioenergetic recovery in glaucoma.\nAbstract: Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) exhibit high bioenergetic demands, rendering them vulnerable to mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic collapse during glaucomatous neurodegeneration. Therapeutic strategies capable of restoring mitochondrial homeostasis in human RGCs remain limited. We established a human retinal ganglion-like cell (RGLC) model of mitochondrial injury and evaluated neuroprotective efficacy of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from either undifferentiated BRN3B-H9 cells or differentiated lineage-tailored RGLCs. RGLC-derived sEVs (RGLC-sEVs) conferred robust neuroprotection, significantly enhancing neuronal survival, preserving neurite architecture, and mitigating mitochondrial stress following injury. These effects were reproducible in mixed retinal cultures and in an ocular hypertension mouse model of glaucoma, with neuroprotective benefits observed throughout the retinal landscape. Mechanistically, untargeted metabolomic profiling revealed extensive metabolic reprogramming involving oxidative phosphorylation, amino acid utilization, lipid metabolism, and redox regulatory pathways. In vitro tracking studies confirmed efficient uptake of sEVs by injured RGLCs, confirming effective vesicular cargo delivery under conditions that promote neuroprotection and metabolic recovery. Functional bioenergetic analysis further validated restoration of mitochondrial-glycolytic coupling and improved cellular energetic resilience. Collectively, our findings establish lineage-tailored RGLC-sEVs as a potent, cell-specific therapeutic candidate capable of reprogramming metabolic networks and restoring bioenergetic homeostasis in glaucomatous neurodegeneration, highlighting their translational potential for neuroprotective intervention in optic neuropathies.\n\nID: 42449389\nTitle: Ferritin-ApoE nanocarrier for targeted therapy of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder in mice.\nAbstract: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS), characterized by anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody-mediated damage to astrocytes, resulting in subsequent demyelination. Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis.\n\nID: 42436372\nTitle: Plasma exosomal HERV-K transcripts are increased in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.\nAbstract: Human endogenous retrovirus-K (HERV-K) reactivation is increasingly implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), with ongoing clinical trials investigating antiretroviral therapies. However, there is limited understanding of how HERV-K is trafficked in peripheral biofluids, and the role of exosomes, nano-sized extracellular vesicles, in this process remains largely unexplored. Exosomes offer a stable and cell-specific cargo reservoir that may reflect central pathogenic processes and serve as a minimally invasive biomarker source. In this study, we isolated plasma-derived exosomes from ALS patients (n\u2009=\u200921) and healthy controls (n\u2009=\u200916), and quantified exosomal HERV-K gag, env, and pol transcript levels using SYBR Green qPCR with RNase treatment and normalization to both traditional and exosome-enriched reference genes. HERV-K pol expression was significantly elevated in ALS, with fold-changes ranging from 1.59 to 1.85 (P\u2009=\u20090.037-0.051). env and gag also showed increased expression, though with greater variability. Normalization to the exosome-specific gene SOD2 provided the most consistent signal. These findings suggest that exosomal HERV-K transcripts, particularly pol, could serve as accessible biomarkers for patient stratification and treatment monitoring in HERV-K-targeted ALS trials. This work establishes proof-of-concept for using exosomal cargo to track endogenous retroviral activity in neurodegeneration and supports further investigation of liquid biopsy approaches in ALS precision medicine.\n\nID: 42397737\nTitle: STING-dependent peripheral inflammaging drives neurodegeneration via extracellular vesicles.\nAbstract: All animals age. However, aging is a heterogeneous process, and individual organisms age differently. Moreover, within the same organism, cells or organs do not age at the same speed. For instance, neurodegeneration, a hallmark of aging, generally manifests later than other peripheral aging signs. The genetic determinants of aging are not completely understood. Gain-of-function (GoF) mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2GoF) are major genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD). By analyzing PD patients and LRRK2GoF mice, we show that PD represents an accelerated aging disorder driven by STING-dependent inflammation. This inflammation begins peripherally, disrupts the blood-brain barrier, and causes dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Mechanistically, aging or LRRK2GoF causes endolysosomal decline, resulting in cytosolic self-DNA accumulation and the release of DNA-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) that activate the cGAS-STING pathway within and between cells. Our findings identify LRRK2GoF as a key driver of accelerated aging and systemic inflammaging through DNA-containing EVs, highlighting potential therapeutic targets to counteract inflammaging and neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42352907\nTitle: The Dual Role of Glial Extracellular Vesicles in Neurodegeneration: Insights from iPSC-Based Models.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as key mediators of intercellular communication in the brain, with glial cell-derived EVs increasingly recognized for their roles in maintaining brain homeostasis and contributing to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. By transferring a diverse cargo of bioactive molecules, including proteins, RNAs, and organelles, EVs influence recipient cell behavior and overall brain function. In neurodegenerative conditions, glial EVs can either propagate pathogenic signals or deliver neuroprotective and regenerative cues, depending on their cellular origin and molecular composition. This context-dependent heterogeneity highlights the need for physiologically relevant human models to investigate EVs biology. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived glial models provide a disease-relevant platform, as they recapitulate key pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). When further integrated with brain organoid platforms, these iPSC-based systems enable the generation of three-dimensional environments that closely resemble in vivo EVs dynamics. Importantly, glial EVs can modulate cellular pathways involved in neuronal survival and function. Indeed, their potential to interact with and, under specific experimental conditions, traverse the blood-brain barrier (BBB) has contributed to growing interest in their application for biomarker discovery and therapeutic development. Engineered and patient-specific EVs derived from iPSCs are emerging as promising tools for targeted, cell type-specific, therapeutic approaches, although their clinical applicability still requires further validation. This review discusses the emerging evidence supporting the dual role of iPSC-derived glial EVs in health and disease, underscores the translational potential of iPSC-based platforms for mechanistic studies, and outlines their promise as precision medicine tools for diagnostics and therapy.\n\nID: 42352265\nTitle: Intranasal Adipose-Derived MSC Extracellular Vesicles Confer Sustained Cognitive Improvement and Suppress Alzheimer's Pathology in APP/PS1 Mice.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) lacks effective disease-modifying therapies, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADMSCs) have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates. In this study, we investigated the brain biodistribution and dose-dependent effects of intranasally administered ADMSC-EVs in female APP/PS1 mice, with age-matched wild-type mice and vehicle-treated transgenic mice serving as controls. EV biodistribution was assessed using PKH26 labeling, cognitive performance was evaluated using the Morris water maze, Y-maze, and novel object recognition tests, and hippocampal amyloid pathology and plasma AD-related biomarkers were analyzed. Intranasally delivered ADMSC-EVs rapidly reached multiple brain regions, including the hippocampus, improved learning and memory performance, and reduced hippocampal amyloid-\u03b2 1-42 (A\u03b242) deposition and plaque burden. These effects followed a nonlinear dose-response pattern, with reduced efficacy at low doses and no additional benefits at high doses. Notably, partial behavioral and pathological benefits persisted after treatment cessation. Together, these findings show that intranasal ADMSC-EVs exert therapeutic effects in APP/PS1 mice and support the importance of dose optimization and post-treatment durability in the development of EV-based interventions for AD.\n\nID: 42341994\nTitle: Morphine reprograms brain-derived extracellular vesicle cargo associated with synaptic remodeling in the prefrontal cortex.\nAbstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by neurons and glia mediate intercellular communication and regulate synaptic and stress-related signaling in the brain. While chronic opioid exposure induces extensive neuroadaptations, the contribution of brain-derived EVs (BDEVs) remains poorly understood. Here, we isolated BDEVs from the prefrontal cortex of rats chronically exposed to morphine and performed integrated transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of EV cargo. Total RNA sequencing and unbiased proteomics identified morphine-associated changes enriched for pathways related to synaptic plasticity, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial function, and neurodegeneration. Notably, the synaptic plasticity regulator Arc was increased at the mRNA level, and the ER stress marker Hspa5 was upregulated at both transcript and protein levels. Morphine-derived BDEVs induced transcriptional alterations in na\u00efve cortical neurons, including changes in genes linked to synaptic remodeling and excitability. These findings suggest that BDEVs may contribute to opioid-induced neuroadaptations.\n\nID: 42304162\nTitle: Human iPSC-NSC-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Can Alleviate Alzheimer's Disease-Linked Impairments in Mitochondria, mTOR Signaling, Autophagy, and Hippocampal Neurogenesis.\nAbstract: Intranasal (IN) administrations of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neural stem cells (hNSCs) have shown promise in reducing chronic neuroinflammation mediated by microglia and astrocytes in 5x familial Alzheimer's disease (5xFAD) mice, a model for early-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). The current study rigorously investigated whether treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs could also alleviate several other neuropathological changes contributing to progressive cognitive decline. Three-month-old male and female 5xFAD mice received IN administrations of either hiPSC-NSC-EVs (~30\u2009\u00d7\u2009109/week for 2\u2009weeks) or vehicle. Two months later, the hippocampus of both male and female 5xFAD mice treated with the vehicle showed increased levels of markers of oxidative stress and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, altered expression of genes and/or proteins linked to mitochondria and autophagy, and diminished neurogenesis. In contrast, treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs restored levels of oxidative stress markers and the expression of genes and/or proteins linked to various mitochondrial complexes, mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, and mitophagy closer to na\u00efve control levels, indicating alleviation of mitochondrial impairments. These improvements were accompanied by reduced phosphorylated mTOR levels and multiple autophagy markers matching those in na\u00efve controls, suggesting a dampening of mTOR signaling and an enhancement of autophagy. Furthermore, mice treated with hiPSC-NSC-EVs showed increased hippocampal neurogenesis, associated with enhanced brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling. Overall, the results highlight that IN administrations of hiPSC-NSC-EVs in the early stages of AD can help slow the progression of multiple neuropathological changes associated with cognitive decline in 5xFAD mice and potentially AD.\n\nID: 42278575\nTitle: Integration of Transcriptional Signatures from Brain Tissue and Plasma Extracellular Vesicles of a Preclinical Tauopathy Mouse Model.\nAbstract: Tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, involve progressive neurodegeneration and sustained neuroinflammation. We present a multi-compartment transcriptomic atlas of 9.6-month-old PS19 tauopathy mice compared with wild-type (WT) controls (n = 8/group), profiling cortical mRNA, cortical non-coding RNA (ncRNA), and plasma small extracellular vesicle (pEV) ncRNA. In the PS19 cortex, mRNA sequencing identified 917 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with microglial deconvolution revealing an association toward disease-associated microglia (DAM) gene signature and downregulation of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and cholesterol biosynthesis relative to WT. Cortical ncRNA profiling identified 466 differentially expressed ncRNAs, primarily circular RNAs (circRNAs; n = 331). In pEVs, 822 ncRNAs were differentially abundant, of which 657 circRNAs were identified in PS19 compared to WT mice. Cross-compartment integration suggest that pEV miRNA gene targets functionally mirrored genes involved in the brain's inflammatory and metabolic failure. We identified a preliminary candidate signature of 33 ncRNAs, including miR-5114 (up in brain, down in pEV), circ_0008242 and circ_0002153 (up in brain and pEV), and circ_0007688 (down in brain and pEV), differentially enriched across both brain and periphery in PS19 compared to WT mice. These results suggest that the pEV non-coding landscape may partially reflect central tau-mediated changes in the brain transcriptional response. This study identifies circRNAs as the most numerically perturbed ncRNA class and provides a foundation for potential peripheral indicators of central brain tau pathology.\n\nID: 42276010\nTitle: Gut-brain axis in Alzheimer's disease: neural and immune circuits linking peripheral dysbiosis to neurodegeneration.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly conceptualized as a system-level disorder shaped by bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain. The gut-brain axis (GBA) integrates neural, immune, and metabolic signaling pathways that influence central neuroinflammation and proteopathy. Recent mechanistic studies demonstrate that gut dysbiosis alters microbial metabolite profiles, promotes microglial immunometabolic reprogramming, and facilitates amyloid and tau pathology. The vagus nerve functions as a bidirectional conduit enabling neural transmission of inflammatory signals and tau propagation directly. Emerging evidence implicates microbiota-derived extracellular vesicles as mediators of peripheral-to-central immune modulation. Human gut-brain organoid platforms now allow causal interrogation of these interactions in physiologically relevant systems. Together, these advances reframe AD as a disorder of dysregulated neural-immune communication and identify the GBA as a tractable therapeutic target.\n\nID: 42247487\nTitle: The ligand preference of LRP1 is regulated by O-glycans.\nAbstract: The family of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and LDLR-related proteins (LRPs) are endocytic receptors serving as essential regulators of multiple physiological processes including cholesterol clearance, protein reabsorption, and neuronal protein trafficking. Site-specific O-glycans modify linkers of the ligand-binding domains of LRPs. Most linker O-glycans are initiated exclusively by GALNT11, 1 of 20 polypeptide GalNAc-transferase isoenzymes. Here, we investigate the role of GALNT11 linker O-glycans in the large and widely expressed multiligand receptor LRP1. In cell models expressing LRP1 with and without GALNT11, we demonstrate that while the uptake of certain ligands such as RAP and ApoE was unaffected, uptake of neurotoxic tau and amyloid-\u03b2 was altered and in opposite directions. Characterization of LRP1 linker O-glycans indicated incomplete sialic acid capping, a feature that, in MD simulations, enabled inter- and intramolecular interactions. Our findings highlight a potential regulatory mechanism of endocytic receptors and identify the ligand repertoire of LRP1 as influenced by O-glycans, with implications for neurodegenerative disease.\n\nID: 42229832\nTitle: Engineered EV-mediated delivery of an anti-amyloid peptide provides neuroprotection in an in vitro Alzheimer's disease model.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease is driven in part by amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) aggregation, oxidative stress, and progressive neuronal dysfunction. Despite various attempts, therapeutic translation remains limited by inefficient delivery of bioactive molecules to neuronal cells. This study presents a surface-engineered extracellular vesicle (EV) platform designed for targeted peptide delivery, assessing its neuroprotective efficacy in an in vitro model of Alzheimer's disease. EVs were obtained from NIH/3T3 cells expressing Lamp2b-RVG and were surface-modified with the \u03b2-sheet breaker peptide H102 through CP05-CD63 affinity binding. ATR-FTIR, SERS Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, zeta potential measurements, and EV marker profiling demonstrated successful peptide conjugation and vesicle integrity. Aggregated A\u03b225-35 was utilized to assess neuronal toxicity in NGF-differentiated PC-12 cells. Peptide-modified EV demonstrated effective, time-dependent cellular uptake and significantly improved cell viability while decreasing membrane damage and intracellular reactive oxygen species levels in comparison to A\u03b2-treated controls. Treatment with Peptide-modified EV normalized the expression of key genes associated with Alzheimer's, such as APP, Bax, Sirt1, and Stat1, suggesting a coordinated modulation of amyloidogenic, apoptotic, oxidative, and inflammatory pathways. The results indicate that surface-engineered EVs facilitate efficient neuronal delivery of therapeutic peptides and offer multi-level cytoprotection against A\u03b2-induced neurotoxicity. This study emphasizes the capability of peptide-decorated EV as a multifunctional nanocarrier system for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.\n\nID: 42229706\nTitle: Platelet-derived extracellular vesicles as neurodegenerative disease biomarkers.\nAbstract: Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, are increasingly prevalent worldwide and have not yet been adequately diagnosed, especially because they require minimally invasive, non-invasive techniques. Although established blood-based biomarkers, such as plasma p-tau217, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and GFAP, have shown clinical utility, limitations in sensitivity and scalability remain. Platelets, anucleate cytoplasmic fragments originating from megakaryocytes, are the primary producers of extracellular vesicles in the peripheral blood. These vesicles contain disease-specific cargo, including amyloid-\u03b2, \u03b1-synuclein, tau, disease-associated glycoproteins, and microRNAs (miRNAs) derived from platelets. Recent findings suggest that the cargo of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs) may be associated with neurodegenerative changes linked to disease severity. However, validation through a prospective multicenter study is necessary. A systematic narrative review was performed by searching the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases with the keywords \"platelet-derived extracellular vesicles,\" \"platelet microvesicles,\" \"neurodegeneration,\" and \"biomarkers\" (inception through April 2026). This review discusses the biogenesis of pEV, their composition in relation to blood markers, and their pathomechanistic roles, such as platelet-mediated blood-brain barrier disruption, neuroinflammation, and misfolded protein seeding. The diagnostic evidence of pEV-associated cargo in neurodegenerative diseases is critically evaluated and contextualized with current blood markers. Key preanalytical considerations, including the selection of anticoagulants, isolation procedures, storage conditions, and the number of freeze-thaw cycles, as well as analytical considerations, such as flow cytometric calibration, single-vesicle resolution, and multiplexed platforms, are examined for their applicability in clinical laboratory settings. The emphasis is on reporting according to the MISEV and the harmonization between laboratories. The limitations of this study are the small heterogeneous cohorts, lack of preanalytical handling standardization, ex vivo platelet activation artifact, and lack of external validation.\n\nID: 42229697\nTitle: Adipose tissue as a systemic modulator of brain aging: mechanistic links between metabolism, inflammation and neurodegeneration.\nAbstract: Brain aging involves progressive declines in neuroplasticity, metabolic flexibility, cerebrovascular integrity and immune homeostasis. Although traditionally viewed as brain-intrinsic, growing evidence indicates that peripheral metabolic organs substantially influence neural aging trajectories. Among these, adipose tissue is increasingly recognized as a dynamic endocrine and immune organ capable of modulating central nervous system (CNS) structure and function across the lifespan. Epidemiological, neuroimaging and experimental studies consistently link adipose tissue dysfunction, particularly the expansion and inflammatory remodeling of visceral fat depots, to accelerated brain aging, cognitive decline and increased susceptibility to neurodegenerative disease. These relationships extend beyond conventional cardiometabolic risk, implicating adipose-derived mechanisms with direct relevance for neural aging. Chronic low-grade inflammation, impaired insulin signaling, dyslipidemia, adipokine imbalance and senescence-associated secretory activity originating in adipose tissue act on the aging brain by promoting microglial dysfunction, cerebrovascular impairment, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and synaptic vulnerability. In parallel, adipose-derived extracellular vesicles and microRNAs have been identified as direct molecular mediators of adipose-brain communication. Importantly, adipose tissue is structurally and functionally heterogeneous, and its impact on brain aging is strongly depot- and context-dependent. While dysfunctional visceral adipose tissue amplifies neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative processes, preserved subcutaneous and thermogenic depots may support brain resilience by sustaining metabolic homeostasis and neurotrophic signaling. By integrating molecular, translational and human evidence, this review frames adipose tissue as a central and modifiable systemic determinant of brain aging. Framing brain aging within a peripheral metabolic context reconciles findings across disciplines and highlights adipose-targeted interventions as promising strategies for preserving cognitive function and reducing neurodegenerative risk.\n\nID: 42227129\nTitle: [Glial Progenitor Cell Therapy Improves Mitochondrial Function in the Hippocampus of 5xFAD Mice, but Does Not Restore the Multiscale Structure of Behavioral Stress Response].\nAbstract: Cell therapy is increasingly used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including cancer, immune system disorders, and neurodegeneration. Stem cells secrete growth factors, signaling molecules, and extracellular vesicles, that can be used to treat neurological diseases and promote neuronal regeneration. Transgenic 5xFAD mice, which are a model for Alzheimer's disease (AD), were used in this study. The mice were 7 months old and received retro-orbital injections of glial progenitor cells (GPCs) once a week for 4 months. At 11 months, their behavior was analyzed using a multichannel actigraphy system. Brain tissues from the cortex, hippocampus, and midbrain were collected for postmortem analysis of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme activity. The results showed that the GPCs injection significantly improved the response of the hippocampal p2 mitochondrial fraction in 5xFAD mice to succinate, reaching a level observed in control animals. A similar trend was also observed for the cytochrome c oxidase complex. The oxygen consumption rate of mitochondria did not differ from that of clinically healthy mice after ascorbate/N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride administration. A similar decrease in the efficiency of the electron transport chain was detected in the midbrain of 5xFAD mice, but no recovery was observed after GPCs treatment. Behavioral differences between non-transgenic and transgenic groups were observed in a multiparameter analysis using the actigraphy system. The behavior of transgenic mice in the treated and untreated groups was similar, while the behavior of non-transgenic mice varied. Additional analysis of locomotor activity and transient events in particular revealed that the activity of the GPCs-treated 5xFAD mice was differed fundamentally compared to other groups. Specifically, GPCs-treated mice exhibited greater number of transitions between intermediate activity states. In contrast, untreated mice showed transitions between extreme activity states, such as from low to high activity or vice versa. These findings suggest that changes in behavior and activity of the AD mice may be associated not only with hippocampal dysfunction, but also with disruptions in midbrain structures.\n\nID: 42199009\nTitle: The emerging role of oligodendrocytes in Alzheimer's disease: Integrating bibliometric insights with molecular pathogenesis.\nAbstract: BackgroundOligodendrocytes (OLs) have received relatively limited attention in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research; however, recent studies highlight their significant role in AD pathology, particularly in neuroinflammation and myelin integrity.ObjectiveTo bibliometrically analyze oligodendrocyte research in AD.MethodsLiterature was retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus on July 8, 2025. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R-based bibliometrix were used for visualization and trend analysis.ResultsA total of 1780 publications from 1981 to 2025 were analyzed. Research output in this field grew significantly, particularly post-2010, following an exponential growth pattern consistent with Price's Law. The USA, China, and Japan were the top contributors, with the USA showing the highest number of publications. The University of California System, Harvard University, and Mayo Clinic emerged as central institutions, while influential authors included George Bartzokis, David A. Bennett, and Patrick L. McGeer. Leading journals, like Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience and Acta Neuropathologica have seen a steady increase in research contributions over the years. Keywords analysis showed that terms such as \"microbiota\", \"microglia\", \"astrocyte\", \"Alzheimer's disease\", \"neurodegeneration\", \"oligodendrocyte\" are prominently displayed, Keywords evolution analysis showed that \"exosomes\", \"extracellular vesicles\", \"white matter injury\", \"oligodendrocyte precursor cell\", \"neurodegeneration\" \"myelination\" \"machine learning\" gradually attracted attention.ConclusionsThe study illustrates a paradigm shift in AD research, from classic pathological markers to a broader understanding that includes neuroglial interactions. This trend emphasizes the role of OLs in neuroinflammation and myelin integrity, presenting new avenues for therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 42196160\nTitle: The APOA1-SNCA Axis as a Molecular Bridge Between CKD and Parkinson's Disease: A Systems Biology Model of Kidney-to-Brain Propagation via Exosomal Pathways.\nAbstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an established risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD), but the molecular mechanisms linking these two conditions remain elusive. We performed a systems biology analysis by retrieving high-confidence gene-disease associations from DisGeNET v7.0 (PD: score \u2265 0.8, EI \u2265 0.4; CKD: score \u2265 0.6, EI \u2265 0.4) and constructing a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network via STRING v11.5 (confidence \u2265 0.700). Direct \"molecular bridges\" between CKD and PD proteins were identified and validated using independent databases. To corroborate biological feasibility, candidate proteins were cross-referenced with ExoCarta and Vesiclepedia databases for exosomal localization. Functional enrichment, tissue expression, and pathway analyses were conducted. Despite zero gene overlap (64 PD genes, 17 CKD genes), the PPI network showed significant convergence (81 nodes, 280 edges, PPI enrichment p < 1.0 \u00d7 10-16). Fifteen high-confidence molecular bridges were identified, including the Apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1)-\u03b1-synuclein (SNCA) interaction (combined score 0.883), which was independently validated by IntAct. Functional enrichment revealed specific association of APOA1-SNCA with \"amyloid fiber formation\" (false discovery rate (FDR) = 0.038). Both APOA1 and SNCA are annotated as exosome components (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) ko04147) and were confirmed as consistent cargo in plasma, urine, and platelet-derived extracellular vesicles within proteomic databases (ExoCarta IDs: 335, 6622). Global pathway analysis highlighted inflammation, oxidative stress, and the advanced glycation end product (AGE)-receptor for AGE (RAGE) pathway. We propose an integrative model wherein CKD-induced dysregulation of APOA1 promotes \u03b1-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, and the co-packaging of these proteins into exosomes provides a plausible vehicle for kidney-to-brain propagation. This framework offers testable hypotheses and potential therapeutic targets for PD-CKD comorbidity.\n\nID: 42193898\nTitle: Uncovering the Secret of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Secretome: From Extracellular Vesicle Cargo to Neuroprotection.\nAbstract: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), also known as multipotent stromal cells or mesenchymal stromal cells, support cell growth and viability through the secretion of trophic factors and immunomodulatory molecules. Their secretome exerts cytoprotective effects in the brain, although the mechanisms underlying MSC-mediated neurological recovery remain poorly understood. A substantial portion of the MSC secretome is delivered via extracellular vesicles (EVs), membrane-bound particles that facilitate intercellular communication. EVs derived from MSCs of various origins exhibit therapeutic potential, and numerous studies are examining the miRNA and protein cargo contained within MSC-EVs. Despite these efforts, methodological differences across the literature and the inherent variability associated with MSC sources have limited data interpretation and identification of EV-factors which may be responsible for neuroprotection. In this study, we have reviewed proteomic, transcriptomic and lipidomic datasets from a selection of recent MSC-EV studies, to identify shared cargo components that may contribute to promoting cell repair and plasticity in brain, counteracting neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42169139\nTitle: Mitochondria transfer in neurological disorders: the key role of neuroglia.\nAbstract: Mitochondria transfer has emerged as a distinctive mechanism for intercellular communication and neuronal homeostasis. Neurones, owing to their unique bioenergetic demands, are particularly vulnerable to mitochondrial dysfunction, a shared pathogenetic feature across many neurological conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, and brain injuries. Intercellular transfer of mitochondria represents a potential adaptive mechanism rectifying compromised mitochondrial function. Neuroglial cells, especially astrocytes and microglia, frequently act as mitochondrial donors, supplying functional mitochondria to stressed neurones to restore bioenergetic capacity and influence disease trajectories. However, mitochondria transfer is intrinsically context dependent and can exert opposing effects. In addition to providing metabolic support, damaged mitochondria may also be transferred, propagating pathological signals, and exacerbating tissue injury. Moreover, in advanced disease states, mitochondrial malfunction often affects all cell types in the nervous system, including neuroglia, limiting the availability of healthy endogenous mitochondrial donors. This review critically examines mitochondria transfer in neurological diseases, with a focus on glial contribution and underlying mechanisms, and outlines key challenges and opportunities for advancing both mechanistic understanding and therapeutic translation.\n\nID: 42152645\nTitle: Extracellular Vesicles in Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms, Immunotherapy Links, and Clinical Translation.\nAbstract: Alzheimer disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and cognitive impairment. Although amyloid-\u03b2 and tau continue to serve as core biomarkers and therapeutic targets, the clinical efficacy of recent biologic agents targeting amyloid has led to a new paradigm in AD treatment. Nevertheless, emerging data show that lipid metabolism is an important and well-established aspect of AD pathophysiology rather than a new theory. Lipid processing in microglia, astrocytes, and neurons is disrupted, leading to chronic inflammation, impaired amyloid clearance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic dysfunction. This review critically analyzes how lipid accumulation and lipid droplet biology contribute to Alzheimer's disease using cellular, animal, and human studies. Special focus is placed on enzymatic regulators such as DGAT2, cholesterol transport, and neuron-glia metabolic linkages. This review synthesizes existing mechanistic and translational data to emphasize lipid dysregulation as a complementary therapeutic target and potential biomarker axis that may improve current amyloid- and taudirected therapeutic strategies.\n\nID: 42150247\nTitle: Multi-target Triazole-Benzopyrone hybrids modulating cholinergic dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation through GFAP/NF-\u03baB/APOE/NLRP3 axis in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative neurological disorder characterized by a deterioration in cognitive abilities, especially memory and learning. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of our agents on oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, cognitive function, and behavioral performance in an LPS-induced AD animal model and comprehensive in vitro and in vivo assays. The synthesized compounds, namely 4b, 5b, 6, 8a-d, and 11a-c, revealed acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (3.50-5.91\u202fnM) superior to that of the reference drug donepezil (6.33\u202fnM). The IC50 value of 11a the most active candidate was 3.50\u202fnM against hAChE, with a significant reduction in amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation by 70% compared to LPS-treated groups, it also reduced neuronal damage, as evidenced by histopathological analysis. Compared to LPS treated groups, 11a decreased brain GFAP, NLRP3, NF-\u03baB, APOE and MDA by 76%, 65%, 48%, 75%, and 59% respectively while increasing GSH by 81%. Molecular docking simulation, along with 100 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations conducted on the AChE-ligand complexes, demonstrated favorable conformations of ligand-protein complex throughout the simulations, predicting a dual binding to the CAS and PAS regions of the enzyme which is consistent with kinetic studies against hAChE. Moreover, the chemical stability and reactivity of the drug-target complex were evaluated using global and local reactive descriptors. These findings suggested that compound 11a possessed promising potential as a multi-target lead compound for the development of anti-Alzheimer treatments based on cholinergic, amyloidogenic, and neuroinflammation, through GFAP/NF-\u03baB/APOE/NLRP3 signaling axis.\n\nID: 42134309\nTitle: Bioorthogonal Click Chemistry-Enabled Enrichment of Extracellular Vesicles for Integrated Molecular and Functional Liquid Biopsy\u00a7.\nAbstract: ConspectusExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-enclosed nanoparticles released by virtually all cells, carrying protected lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and active enzymes that faithfully reflect the physiological and pathological states of their cellular origins. Tumor- and neuron-derived EVs are abundantly present in peripheral blood, even at early disease stages, and thus represent highly attractive substrates for liquid biopsy. However, the clinical translation of EV-based diagnostics has been constrained by a central challenge: the inability to selectively enrich disease-relevant EVs from a vast background of normal EVs with sufficient specificity, efficiency, and compatibility for seamless integration with downstream molecular and functional analyses. Conventional physical isolation approaches generate heterogeneous EV mixtures that dilute disease-specific signals, whereas traditional immunoaffinity capture often suffers from nonspecific interactions and low recovery due to sparse and heterogeneous antigen density on EV membranes.To overcome these limitations, our laboratory has developed a chemical biology solution utilizing the bioorthogonal inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction between trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and tetrazine (Tz). By labeling tumor or neuronal EVs in plasma with TCO-grafted antibodies and covalently immobilizing them onto Tz-functionalized substrates, our three EV enrichment platforms, namely, EV Click Chips, EV Click Beads, and EV Click MagBeads, enable rapid, irreversible, and highly specific capture of defined EV subpopulations. These click chemistry-mediated enrichment strategies reduce nonspecific binding, markedly improve capture efficiency, and preserve EV integrity, providing a robust foundation for downstream genetic, proteomic, and functional analyses. Building on this chemical biology solution, we established three complementary EV assay modalities. Platform #1, the EV Digital Scoring Assay, couples click chemistry-mediated EV enrichment with RT-digital PCR to quantify tumor-specific mRNAs or oncogenic mutations. This \"enrich-then-count\" strategy has demonstrated strong clinical utility in early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), molecular staging of prostate cancer, and detection of actionable gene alterations in pancreatic cancer and Ewing sarcoma. A refined version enables real-time HCC treatment-response monitoring, outperforming serum AFP and radiographic criteria in monitoring treatment responses. Platform #2, the EV Surface Protein Assay, uses antibody-directed click enrichment followed by immuno-PCR or RT-qPCR to quantify tumor-specific EV subpopulations. Analogous to tissue immunohistochemistry but executed in a liquid-biopsy format, this assay has shown accuracy in early detection of HCC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and epithelial ovarian cancer and supports longitudinal monitoring in prostate and thyroid cancers. Platform #3, the EV Protease Activity Assay, extends EV analysis into functional biology by measuring enzymatic activities preserved within enriched EVs. In osteosarcoma, matrix metalloproteinase activity profiles stratified localized versus metastatic disease and tracked therapeutic response. In neurology, quantifying \u03b2-secretase activity in neuronal EVs enabled highly accurate detection of early Alzheimer's disease and correlated with cognitive performance.Together, these TCO-Tz click chemistry-enabled platforms provide a modular, robust, and clinically adaptable toolkit for noninvasive EV-based diagnostics. By uniting chemical precision with biological and clinical relevance, this framework advances the broader vision of real-time, disease-specific liquid biopsy across oncology and neurodegeneration, laying the foundation for next-generation integrated diagnostic systems.\n\nID: 42120733\nTitle: Brain endothelial cell-derived extracellular vesicles (c-BEEVs) as a promising biomarker for brain vascular pathology and cognitive decline.\nAbstract: Accurate measurement of brain vascular pathology is essential for understanding its role in cognitive aging. Here we classified participants using the amyloid-tau-neurodegeneration framework in a multicenter cohort and identified cerebrospinal fluid brain endothelial-derived small extracellular vesicles (c-BEEVs) as a sensitive biomarker, which correlated with vascular risk factors and the severity of small-vessel disease. c-BEEVs showed high diagnostic performance for vascular cognitive impairment and, when combined with p-tau181, effectively distinguished vascular cognitive impairment from Alzheimer's disease. In individuals with mixed Alzheimer's disease and vascular pathology, c-BEEVs were the earliest indicators of abnormalities. It predicted cognitive decline in participants without p-tau181 pathology. To investigate the mechanistic role of c-BEEVs, we established a hypertension mouse model with elevated c-BEEVs and cognitive deficits. Brain endothelial-specific knockdown of extracellular vesicle secretion alleviated cognitive and synaptic impairment. These findings position c-BEEVs as a promising biomarker for brain vascular pathology and highlight their role in neurovascular dysfunction.\n\nID: 42113482\nTitle: Mitofusin-Decorated Extracellular Vesicles Enable Targeted Nucleic Acid Delivery to Mitochondria.\nAbstract: Mitochondria-targeted therapies hold great promise for treating metabolic syndrome, neurodegeneration, and cancers associated with mitochondrial dysfunction or genetic mutations. However, its advancement is significantly limited by the lack of effective and biocompatible targeted delivery systems. Here, we introduce mitofusin-decorated extracellular vesicles (MFNEVs) as a natural-sourced nanoplatform for efficient mitochondrial delivery of various cytoplasm-sensitive macromolecular cargos. The surface-displayed mitofusin proteins MFN1 and MFN2 direct MFNEVs to localize to mitochondria, as confirmed by confocal imaging and gel electrophoresis analysis. In both in vitro and in vivo models, siRNA-loaded MFNEVs effectively reduce the expression of mitochondrial DNA-encoded genes. Moreover, sgRNA-loaded MFNEVs can achieve CRISPR-based mitochondrial gene editing, resulting in a decreased mitochondrial DNA content. Mechanistic studies further reveal that the delivery is facilitated by the cooperation of the mitochondrial fusion machinery. These findings establish the feasibility and versatility of MFNEVs as a promising delivery solution for mitochondrial therapeutics.\n\nID: 42099804\nTitle: The choroid plexus- cerebrospinal fluid axis as a lifespan regulator of neural stem cells and circuit plasticity.\nAbstract: The choroid plexus-cerebrospinal fluid axis (ChP-CSF) functions as a dynamic signaling system that coordinates neural stem cell (NSC) behavior and neural circuit plasticity across the lifespan. Beyond its classical roles in cushioning the brain, CSF serves as a regulated conduit for growth factors, ions, extracellular vesicles, and other bioactive molecules. Emerging evidence suggests that the ChP contributes to shaping CSF composition through energy-dependent transport and state-responsive secretion. Ventricular-contacting NSCs sense CSF cues via apical endfeet and primary cilia, integrating signals to regulate their behavior. Lifespan-dependent remodeling of CSF composition and niche architecture reshapes NSC function from embryonic expansion to adult homeostasis and age-associated decline. Beyond the ventricular niche, ChP-derived factors influence circuit maturation and vulnerability to neurodegeneration. Orthodenticle homeobox 2 regulates critical period timing and neuroblast integration, whereas apolipoprotein E couples lipid metabolisms and amyloid-\u03b2 homeostasis to neurogenesis with Alzheimer's disease risk. Additional ChP-secreted proteins, including transthyretin and clusterin, further shape the extracellular proteostatic and lipid environment. Together, these findings support the view of the ChP-CSF axis as an adaptive regulator across the lifespan that integrates stem cell dynamics, circuit plasticity, and neurodegenerative susceptibility.\n\nID: 42074196\nTitle: Mitochondrial Network Dynamics in Aging: Cellular Mechanisms, Intercellular Communication, and Their Impact on Tissue Adaptability.\nAbstract: Beyond their classical role as \"cellular powerhouses\", mitochondria are increasingly recognized as dynamic and interconnected networks whose architecture, quality control, and intercellular communication influence cellular and organismal homeostasis. Mitochondrial dynamics-including fusion-fission balance, mitophagy-biogenesis coupling, intracellular organization, and intercellular transfer via tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, or transient cell fusion-contribute to tissue adaptation and functional decline during aging. Focusing on cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and the nervous system, this narrative review synthesizes current evidence describing how aging disrupts mitochondrial network integrity through altered dynamics, impaired organelle positioning and transport, reduced mitophagy, mtDNA instability, and compromised metabolic coupling between cells. These alterations propagate across tissues, limiting energetic flexibility, stress resilience, and regenerative capacity. Building on these mechanisms, we discuss a systems-level perspective in which aging is associated with progressive loss of mitochondrial network coherence rather than solely cumulative molecular damage. Within this framework, mitochondrial connectivity functions as an integrative descriptor of cellular resilience: well-organized networks counteract metabolic perturbations, whereas functionally decoupled networks amplify stress and promote maladaptive aging trajectories. Emerging evidence indicates that physiological and pharmacological interventions, including endurance exercise, caloric restriction or mimetics, fusion-supporting pathways, and mitophagy-enhancing strategies, can partially restore network organization even later in life. Molecular, cellular, and tissue-level insights are integrated to highlight mitochondrial network dynamics as both a mechanistic contributor to aging and a potentially modifiable target for future preventive and therapeutic interventions.\n\nID: 42060826\nTitle: When Viruses Talk through Extracellular Vesicles: a New Perspective on Sars-Cov-2-Induced Neurodegeneration.\nAbstract: SARS-CoV-2 infection is linked to persistent neurological symptoms Post-Acute Sequelae SARS-CoV-2 (neuro-PASC) and elevated risk of neurodegenerative disease, but molecular events connecting acute viral injury to long-term CNS dysfunction remain unclear. Here, we advance a perspective that Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) act as active mediators bridging SARS-CoV-2 infection and neurodegenerative processes. As nanoscale messengers capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, EVs can transmit post-viral signals and orchestrate multi-target gene regulation in recipient cells through their microRNA (EV-miRNA) cargo. Our integrative analysis suggests that EV-miRNAs dysregulated in acute COVID-19, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's Disease (PD) converge on pathways governing neurovascular integrity, redox and metabolic homeostasis, and neuronal proteostasis. We propose that sustained dysregulation of these interconnected modules-driven by EV-mediated signalling-may underlie the perpetuation of neuro-PASC and accelerate neurodegeneration in susceptible individuals. Viewing EVs as mechanistic agents that both transmit and amplify pathogenic cues reframes them as actionable targets for intervention and risk stratification. This perspective calls for translational frameworks that leverage EVs to illuminate, predict, and modify the trajectory of post-viral neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 42031321\nTitle: Co-aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins in age-related neurodegenerative diseases.\nAbstract: Age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and related dementias, are increasingly understood as multifactorial proteinopathies involving co-aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins such as microtubule-associated protein-Tubulin-associated unit protein (Tau), \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn), amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43). Rather than acting independently, these proteins often cross-seed, co-localize, and modulate each other's aggregation dynamics and toxicity. This review critically examines the mechanistic and pathological underpinnings of heterotypic protein co-aggregation, integrating biophysical, cellular, animal, and human data. This review further proposes a conceptual framework that views neurodegeneration as a network of interacting misfolded proteins shaped by age-related changes in lipid membranes, redox balance, proteostasis, and genetic factors. Emphasis is placed on translational opportunities: co-aggregation-specific biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and extracellular vesicles, and emerging multi-targeted therapies including immunotherapy, proteostasis modulators, and autophagy-inducing chimeras. This review also discusses the clinical implications of co-pathology in mixed dementias and overlapping disorders. It is therefore time to move beyond the classical one protein-one disease paradigm and embrace models that explicitly incorporate heterotypic co-aggregation, mixed pathologies, and shared vulnerability pathways across age-related disorders. By reframing co-aggregation as a central pathogenic mechanism, this review highlights the need for diagnostics and therapeutics that address the interconnectivity of protein misfolding in the ageing brains.\n\nID: 41997082\nTitle: Translational advances of exosomes in neurodegeneration towards precision healthcare: From biomarkers to therapeutic frontiers.\nAbstract: Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) that mediate intercellular communication and carry proteins, lipids, mRNAs, and non-coding RNAs reflective of their parental cells. Their biogenesis, molecular composition, and ability to traverse physiological barriers, including the blood-brain barrier, position exosomes as powerful candidates for biomarker development and therapeutic delivery in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). In Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and prion disorders, exosomes not only mirror pathological processes but actively participate in the propagation of misfolded proteins and neuroinflammatory signals through cell-type-specific vesicle subpopulations. This review synthesises current advances in exosome biology, cargo sorting, release mechanisms, and pathophysiological roles in the central nervous system, with emphasis on how neuron-, astrocyte-, and microglia-derived exosomes diverge in their cargo profiles and functional consequences across diseases. We highlight disease-specific exosomal signatures, including amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), tau, \u03b1-synuclein, myelin proteins, prion proteins (PrP) and regulatory microRNAs. We evaluate emerging technologies such as microfluidic isolation, single-vesicle analysis, and multi-omics profiling that are accelerating biomarker discovery, and review exosome-based therapeutic strategies, including native stem cell-derived exosomes and surface-engineered vesicles loaded with neuroprotective miRNAs, small molecules, and gene-editing cargo. We address critical unmet challenges in translating these approaches to the clinic, including scalable and standardised production, incomplete pharmacokinetic /pharmacodynamic characterisation in preclinical models, immunogenicity and off-target safety concerns, and the absence of specific regulatory guidance for EV drug products. Together, these insights highlight the transformative potential of exosomes as both precision diagnostic tools and disease-modifying therapeutic platforms for NDDs.\n\nID: 41997056\nTitle: Engineered mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles attenuate acute glaucoma-induced neuroinflammation by reprogramming microglial polarization.\nAbstract: Retinal microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is a critical driver of pathological damage in glaucoma, leading to irreversible loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Current treatments remain limited in effectively targeting and modulating this neuroinflammatory component within the retinal microenvironment. To address this, we engineered cRGD peptide-functionalized mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (cRGD-EVs) capable of actively targeting activated microglia for the localized delivery of anti-inflammatory miRNAs. After intravitreal administration, cRGD-EVs demonstrated enhanced accumulation in the retina and specific uptake by activated microglia in a rat model of retinal ischemia/reperfusion (RIR) injury. Both in vitro co-culture models and in vivo analyses confirmed the targeting efficacy and phenotypic reprogramming of microglia from a pro-inflammatory (M1) to an anti-inflammatory (M2) state. Intravitreal injection of cRGD-EVs loaded with key miRNAs (let-7c-5p, miR-21a-5p, and miR-146a-5p) significantly suppressed NF-\u03baB pathway activation and reduced the expression of downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines. Treated animals exhibited notable preservation of retinal structure, increased RGC survival, and significant recovery of visual function, as measured by electroretinography. Furthermore, in acute ocular hypertension model, cRGD-EV treatment attenuated glaucomatous neurodegeneration and improved overall retinal homeostasis. These findings highlight cRGD-EVs as a promising targeted biologic delivery system for treating neuroinflammatory components of glaucoma and potentially other retinal diseases characterized by microglial activation.\n\nID: 41995755\nTitle: Mitochondrial-Immune Dysfunction in MS: Therapeutic Potential of EV-Mediated Transfer.\nAbstract: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated disorder of the central nervous system. In this disease, mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration, axonal loss, and progressive disability. Extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated mitochondrial transfer has emerged as a promising cell-free strategy to restore mitochondrial homeostasis and modulate immune responses within the CNS. Preclinical studies, particularly in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis models, demonstrate that EV-based delivery of mitochondrial cargo improves cellular bioenergetics. In parallel, this approach reduces oxidative stress and neuroinflammation while supporting remyelination and neuroprotection. This review summarizes the mechanistic rationale, current preclinical evidence, and future translational perspectives of EV-mediated mitochondrial therapy in MS.\n\nID: 41992726\nTitle: Insights from changes in NDEV biomarkers of metabolism: Effects of PPAR\u03b3 and GLP1 receptor agonists on brain metabolism.\nAbstract: Insulin resistance (IR) is implicated in central nervous system disorders, including depression and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We analyzed biological samples from two cohorts of clinical trial participants: 1) participants with unremitted depression after six months of treatment as usual who received pioglitazone (PPAR\u03b3 agonist, N\u2009=\u200912) or placebo and 2) middle-aged participants at genetic risk for AD who received liraglutide (glucagon-like peptide 1 [GLP1] receptor agonist, N\u2009=\u200915) or placebo. These cohorts, which previously showed treatment-related improvements in peripheral IR, were used to assess the effects of pioglitazone and liraglutide on CNS insulin signaling using neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs) as biomarkers. We utilized biological samples to measure biomarkers of IR in NDEVs. Eleven Akt-mTOR pathway proteins were measured before and after 12 weeks of treatment in both groups. Participants who received pioglitazone experienced broader changes, with significant increases in GSK3\u03b2 (Ser9), mTOR (Ser2448), and RPS6 (Ser235/Ser236; all p\u2009\u2264\u20090.02) compared to placebo, and 77% of participants showed mTOR (Ser2448) response. Participants who received liraglutide demonstrated significantly increased NDEV-associated phosphorylated Akt (Ser473) and mTOR (Ser2448; p\u2009=\u20090.04 and p\u2009=\u20090.025, respectively) compared to placebo, with 40% and 30% of participants in the liraglutide group showing biomarker response in both Akt (Ser473) and mTOR (Ser2448), respectively. These effects appeared relatively independent from changes in fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentration at 120-minutes during the oral glucose tolerance test. Our findings demonstrate CNS-specific biomarker responses to both PPAR\u03b3 agonists and GLP1 receptor agonists.\n\nID: 41989517\nTitle: Exosomes in Alzheimer's disease: neuroinflammation mitigation via immune modulation and inflammatory pathway targeting.\nAbstract: Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) progression is tightly linked to neuroinflammation driven by central-peripheral immune imbalance, with microglial/astrocytic activation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and cytokine dysregulation forming a vicious cycle. Exosomes, as nanoscale extracellular vesicles, emerge as potent modulators by crossing the blood-brain barrier and delivering functional cargos (miR-146a, miR-124, TREM2, IL-10) to target immune and neuronal cells. They induce M2 microglial polarization, inhibit A1 astrocyte transformation, and balance Treg/Th17 subsets, while suppressing NF-\u03baB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6) and elevate anti-inflammatory IL-10. Additionally, exosomes enhance A\u03b2/tau clearance via promoting phagocytosis and autophagy, and repair the blood-brain barrier to mitigate peripheral immune infiltration. Derived from MSCs, immune cells, or traditional Chinese medicines, exosomes exhibit low immunogenicity and high biocompatibility, with preclinical and pilot clinical data confirming 30%\u201350% improvement in cognitive scores and 40%\u201360% reductions in cerebrospinal fluid IL-1\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6 levels in AD models and patients. These findings highlight exosomes as a multitargeted strategy to ameliorate neuroinflammation and halt AD neurodegeneration.\n\nID: 41973384\nTitle: Exploring Stem Cell Based Senotherapeutic Strategies for Targeting Cellular Senescence in Brain Aging.\nAbstract: Cellular senescence is characterized by a state of stable proliferation arrest which ultimately leads to decline in the regenerative potential of cells, tissues and organ. Several factors like oxidative stress, DNA damage, neuroinflammation, and altered proteostasis mark the onset of cellular senescence. A growing body of evidence highlights a strong association between cellular senescence and the development of neurodegenerative disorders, where the accumulation of senescent cells contribute to chronic inflammation, tissue dysfunction, and progressive neuronal degeneration. Despite significant advances in understanding brain aging, effective therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms remain limited. Over the years, targeting cellular senescence has emerged as a promising strategy in the development of senotherapeutics for age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. Stem cells and their acellular derivatives, such as the secretome, extracellular vesicles, and mitochondria, have recently emerged as promising senotherapeutic candidates. As evidenced from previous reports, cell-free components of stem cells may confer senotherapeutic benefits by delivering bioactive molecules and maintaining tissue microenvironmental homeostasis to rejuvenate the senescent cells. However, previous reviews have predominantly focussed on senotherapeutics and role of stem cells as antiaging agents. There remains a lack of integrated understanding of their role in modulating brain aging and neurodegeneration. In this review, we discuss the mechanistic role of cellular senescence in neurodegeneration contributing to brain aging and highlight emerging insights into stem cell and its acellular products as potential senotherapeutic strategies. Furthermore, we have highlighted some therapeutic strategies based on acellular products of stem cells in for combating age-associated brain dysfunction. Our manuscript uniquely provides a comprehensive essay on mechanistic insights, therapeutic convergence, and translational implications.\n\nID: 40700291\nTitle: Potential Biological and Genetic Links Between Dementia and Osteoporosis: A Scoping Review.\nAbstract: The biological mediators for the epidemiologic overlap between osteoporosis and dementia are unclear. We undertook a scoping review of clinical studies to identify genetic and biological factors linked with these degenerative conditions, exploring the mechanisms and pathways connecting both conditions. Studies selected (1) involved clinical research investigating genetic factors or biomarkers associated with dementia or osteoporosis, and (2) were published in English in a peer-reviewed journal between July 1993 and March 2025. We searched Medline Ovid, Embase, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, the Web of Science databases, Google Scholar, and the reference lists of studies following the guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Twenty-three studies were included in this review. These explored the role of the APOE polymorphism (n = 2) and the APOE4 allele (n = 13), associations between TREM2 mutation and late onset AD (n = 1), and associations between amyloid beta and bone remodeling (n = 1); bone-related biomarkers like DKK1, OPG, and TRAIL as predictors of cognitive change (n = 2); extracellular vesicles as bone-brain communication pathways (1); and the role of dementia-related genes (n = 1), AD-related CSF biomarkers (n = 1), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) (n = 1) in osteoporosis-dementia pathophysiology. Bone-related biomarkers active in the Wnt/\u03b2-Catenin pathway (Dkk1 and sclerostin) and the RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway (OPG/TRAIL ratio) present consistent evidence of involvement in AD and osteoporosis development. Reports proposing APOE4 as a causal genetic link for both osteoporosis and AD in women are not corroborated by newer observational studies. The role of A\u03b2 toxicity in osteoporosis development is unverified in a large clinical study.\n\nID: 39307629\nTitle: The multiple roles of chronic stress and glucocorticoids in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis.\nAbstract: Chronic stress and the accompanying long-term elevation of glucocorticoids (GCs), the stress hormones of the body, increase the risk and accelerate the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Signatures of AD include intracellular tau (MAPT) tangles, extracellular amyloid \u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques, and neuroinflammation. A growing body of work indicates that stress and GCs initiate cellular processes underlying these pathologies through dysregulation of protein homeostasis and trafficking, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and response to damage-associated stimuli. In this review, we integrate findings from mechanistic studies in rodent and cellular models, wherein defined chronic stress protocols or GC administration have been shown to elicit AD-related pathology. We specifically discuss the effects of chronic stress and GCs on tau pathogenesis, including hyperphosphorylation, aggregation, and spreading, amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and trafficking culminating in A\u03b2 production, immune priming by proinflammatory cytokines and disease-associated molecular patterns, and alterations to glial cell and blood-brain barrier (BBB) function.\n\nID: 38149847\nTitle: Vertical transmission of maternal DNA through extracellular vesicles associates with altered embryo bioenergetics during the periconception period.\nAbstract: The transmission of DNA through extracellular vesicles (EVs) represents a novel genetic material transfer mechanism that may impact genome evolution and tumorigenesis. We aimed to investigate the potential for vertical DNA transmission within maternal endometrial EVs to the pre-implantation embryo and describe any effect on embryo bioenergetics. We discovered that the human endometrium secretes all three general subtypes of EV - apoptotic bodies (ABs), microvesicles (MVs), and exosomes (EXOs) - into the human endometrial fluid (EF) within the uterine cavity. EVs become uniformly secreted into the EF during the menstrual cycle, with the proportion of different EV populations remaining constant; however, MVs contain significantly higher levels of mitochondrial (mt)DNA than ABs or EXOs. During the window of implantation, MVs contain an eleven-fold higher level of mtDNA when compared to cells-of-origin within the receptive endometrium, which possesses a lower mtDNA content and displays the upregulated expression of mitophagy-related genes. Furthermore, we demonstrate the internalization of EV-derived nuclear-encoded (n)DNA/mtDNA by trophoblast cells of murine embryos, which associates with a reduction in mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. These findings suggest that the maternal endometrium suffers a reduction in mtDNA content during the preconceptional period, that nDNA/mtDNA become packaged into secreted EVs that the embryo uptakes, and that the transfer of DNA to the embryo within EVs occurs alongside the modulation of bioenergetics during implantation.\n\nID: 36649440\nTitle: Brain endothelium-derived extracellular vesicles containing amyloid-beta induce mitochondrial alterations in neural progenitor cells.\nAbstract: Elevated brain deposits of amyloid beta (A\u03b240) contribute to neuropathology and cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the role of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) as an interface for the transfer of A\u03b240 from the periphery into the brain is not well characterized. In addition, a substantial population of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) resides in close proximity to brain capillaries that form the BBB. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of brain endothelium-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) containing A\u03b240 on metabolic functions and differentiation of NPCs. Endothelial EVs were derived from an in vitro model of the brain endothelium treated with 100 nM A\u03b240 or PBS. We then analyzed the impact of these EVs on mitochondrial morphology and bioenergetic disruption of NPCs. In addition, NPCs were differentiated and neurite development upon exposure to EVs was assessed using the IncuCyte Zoom live cell imaging system. We demonstrate that physiological concentrations of A\u03b240 can be transferred to accumulate in NPCs via endothelial EVs. This transfer results in mitochondrial dysfunction, disrupting crista morphology, metabolic rates, fusion and fission dynamics of NPCs, as well as their neurite development. Intercellular transfer of A\u03b240 is carried out by brain endothelium-derived EVs, which can affect NPC differentiation and induce mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to aberrant neurogenesis. This has pathological implications because NPCs growing into neurons are incorporated into cerebral structures involved in learning and memory, two common phenotypes affected in AD and related dementias.\n\nID: 36540894\nTitle: Evaluation of blood-based, extracellular vesicles as biomarkers for aging-related TDP-43 pathology.\nAbstract: Limbic predominant age related TDP-43 encephalopathy neuropathological change (LATE-NC) is a recently characterized brain disease that mimics Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinically. To date, LATE-NC is difficult to diagnose antemortem using clinical information or biomarkers. Recent studies suggest concentrations of extracellular vesicle (EVs) protein cargo derived from neuronal and glial cells may serve as useful diagnostic biomarkers for AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. TDP-43 was evaluated in neuronal (NDEVs), astrocyte (ADEVs), and microglial derived extracellular vesicles (MDEVs). EV preparations were isolated from the plasma of research subjects with autopsy-confirmed diagnoses, including many with LATE (n\u00a0=\u00a022). Quantified TDP-43 concentrations were compared to the cohort that included healthy controls, mild cognitively impairment (MCI), and AD dementia with diagnoses other than LATE-NC (n\u00a0=\u00a042). TDP-43 was significantly elevated in plasma ADEVs derived from autopsy confirmed LATE-NC subjects, with or without comorbid AD pathology. Measurable levels of TDP-43 were also detected in EV-depleted plasma; however, TDP-43 levels were not significantly different between persons with and without eventual autopsy confirmed LATE-NC. No correlation was observed between EV TDP-43 levels with cognition-based variables, sex, and APOE carrier status. Blood-based EVs, specifically measuring TDP-43 accumulation in ADEVs, may serve as a potential diagnostic tool to rapidly identify subjects who are currently living with LATE-NC.\n\nID: 36405397\nTitle: Relationships of APOE Genotypes With Small RNA and Protein Cargo of Brain Tissue Extracellular Vesicles From Patients With Late-Stage AD.\nAbstract: Variants of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene are the greatest known risk factors for sporadic Alzheimer disease (AD). Three major APOE isoform alleles, \u03b52, \u03b53, and \u03b54, encode and produce proteins that differ by only 1-2 amino acids but have different binding partner interactions. Whereas APOE \u03b52 is protective against AD relative to \u03b53, \u03b54 is associated with an increased risk for AD development. However, the role of APOE in gene regulation in AD pathogenesis has remained largely undetermined. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited particles released by cells to dispose of unwanted materials and mediate intercellular communication, and they are implicated in AD pathophysiology. Brain-derived EVs (bdEVs) could act locally in the tissue and reflect cellular changes. To reveal whether APOE genotype affects EV components in AD brains, bdEVs were separated from patients with AD with different APOE genotypes for parallel small RNA and protein profile. bdEVs from late-stage AD brains (BRAAK stages 5-6) from patients with APOE genotypes \u03b52/3 (n = 5), \u03b53/3 (n = 5), \u03b53/4 (n = 6), and \u03b54/4 (n = 6) were separated using our published protocol into a 10,000g pelleted extracellular fraction (10K) and a further purified EV fraction. Counting, sizing, and multiomic characterization by small RNA sequencing and proteomic analysis were performed for 10K, EVs, and source tissue. Comparing APOE genotypes, no significant differences in bdEV total particle concentration or morphology were observed. Overall small RNA and protein profiles of 10K, EVs, and source tissue also did not differ substantially between different APOE genotypes. However, several differences in individual RNAs (including miRNAs and tRNAs) and proteins in 10K and EVs were observed when comparing the highest and lowest risk groups (\u03b54/4 and \u03b52/3). Bioinformatic analysis and previous publications indicate a potential regulatory role of these molecules in AD. For patients with late-stage AD in this study, only a few moderate differences were observed for small RNA and protein profiles between APOE genotypes. Among these, several newly identified 10K and EV-associated molecules may play roles in AD progression. Possibly, larger genotype-related differences exist and are more apparent in or before earlier disease stages.\n\nID: 35573689\nTitle: Differential Effects of APOE Genotype on MicroRNA Cargo of Cerebrospinal Fluid Extracellular Vesicles in Females With Alzheimer's Disease Compared to Males.\nAbstract: Multiple biological factors, including age, sex, and genetics, influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Of the 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2021, 3.8 million are women and 2.4 million are men. The strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD is apolipoprotein E-e4 (APOE-e4). Female APOE-e4 carriers develop AD more frequently than age-matched males and have more brain atrophy and memory loss. Consequently, biomarkers that are sensitive to biological risk factors may improve AD diagnostics and may provide insight into underlying mechanistic changes that could drive disease progression. Here, we have assessed the effects of sex and APOE-e4 on the miRNA cargo of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular vesicles (EVs) in AD. We used ultrafiltration (UF) combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to enrich CSF EVs (e.g., Flotillin+). CSF EVs were isolated from female and male AD or controls (CTLs) that were either APOE-e3,4 or -e3,3 positive (n = 7/group, 56 total). MiRNA expression levels were quantified using a custom TaqMan\u2122 array that assayed 190 miRNAs previously found in CSF, including 25 miRNAs that we previously validated as candidate AD biomarkers. We identified changes in the EV miRNA cargo that were affected by both AD and sex. In total, four miRNAs (miR-16-5p, -331-3p, -409-3p, and -454-3p) were significantly increased in AD vs. CTL, independent of sex and APOE-e4 status. Pathway analysis of the predicted gene targets of these four miRNAs with identified pathways was highly relevant to neurodegeneration (e.g., senescence and autophagy). There were also three miRNAs (miR-146b-5p, -150-5p, and -342-3p) that were significantly increased in females vs. males, independent of disease state and APOE-e4 status. We then performed a statistical analysis to assess the effect of APOE genotype in AD within each sex and found that APOE-e4 status affects different subsets of CSF EV miRNAs in females vs. males. Together, this study demonstrates the complexity of the biological factors associated with AD risk and the impact on EV miRNAs, which may contribute to AD pathophysiology.\n\nID: 34541286\nTitle: Effect of APOE \u03b54 allele on levels of apolipoproteins E, J, and D, and redox signature in circulating extracellular vesicles from cognitively impaired with no dementia participants converted to Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: The substantial link between apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 allele and oxidative stress may underlie enhanced Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Here, we studied the impact of APOE \u03b54 on the level of apolipoproteins with antioxidant activities along with oxidative markers in circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and plasma from cognitively impaired-not demented (CIND) individuals converted to AD (CIND-AD). Apolipoproteins E, J, and D and antioxidant response markers were determined in cEVs and plasma using immunoblotting, electrochemical examination, and spectrofluorimetry. Total antioxidant capacity and apolipoprotein D levels in cEVs, as judged by regression analysis and cognitive performance correlations, allowed us to differentiate CIND APOE \u03b54 carriers from controls and to predict their progression to AD 5 years later. Our findings support the pathological redox linkage between APOE \u03b54 and AD onset and suggest the use of cEVs oxidative signature in early AD diagnosis.\n\nID: 34028667\nTitle: miR-146a Dysregulates Energy Metabolism During Neuroinflammation.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by chronic neuroinflammation and a reduction in brain energy metabolism. An important role has emerged for small, non-coding RNA molecules known as microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative disorders. As epigenetic regulators, miRNAs possess the capacity to regulate and fine tune protein production by inhibiting translation. Several miRNAs, which include miR-146a, are elevated in the brain, CSF, and plasma of AD patients. miR-146a participates in pathways that regulate immune activation and has several mRNA targets which encode for proteins involved in cellular energy metabolism. An additional role for extracellular vesicles (EVs) has also emerged in the progression AD, as EVs can transfer functionally active proteins and RNAs from diseased to healthy cells. In the current study, we exposed various cell types present within the CNS to immunomodulatory molecules and observed significant upregulation of miR-146a expression, both within cells and within their secreted EVs. Further, we assessed the effects of miR-146a overexpression on bioenergetic function in primary rat glial cells and found significant reductions in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Lastly, we correlated miR-146a expression levels within various regions of the AD brain to disease staging and found significant, positive correlations. These novel results demonstrate that the modulation of miR-146a in response to neuroinflammatory stimuli may mediate the loss of mitochondrial integrity and function in cells, thereby contributing to the progression of beta-amyloid and tau pathology in the AD brain. Multiple inflammatory stimuli can upregulate miRNA-146a expression within neurons, mixed glial cells, and brain endothelial cells, which is either retained within these cells or released from them as extracellular vesicle cargo. The upregulation of miR-146a disrupts cellular bioenergetics in mixed glial cells. This mechanism may play a critical role in the neuroinflammatory response observed during Alzheimer's disease.\n\nID: 33537405\nTitle: Apolipoprotein E4-driven effects on inflammatory and neurotrophic factors in peripheral extracellular vesicles from cognitively impaired, no dementia participants who converted to Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: In brain, extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an essential role in the neuron-glia interface and ensure the crosstalk between the brain and the periphery. Some studies now link the pathway dysfunction of the EVs to apolipoprotein E gene variant (APOE \u03b54) and the risk of progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD). To better understand the role of APOE \u03b54 in pre-clinical AD, we have determined levels of pathogenic, neurotrophic and inflammatory proteins in peripheral EVs (pEVs) and in plasma from cognitively impaired, no dementia (CIND) participants stratified upon the absence (APOE \u03b54-) or the presence (APOE \u03b54+ ) of the \u03b54 allele of APOE. Levels of 15 neurodegenerative, neurotrophic and neuroinflammatory proteins were quantified in pEVs and compared to their plasma levels from cognitively normal and CIND participants. Levels of neurotrophic and inflammatory markers were reduced in pEVs from APOE \u03b54+. The pentraxin-2/\u03b1-synuclein ratio measured in pEVs was able to predict AD 5 years before the onset among APOE \u03b54+-CIND individuals. Our findings suggest an alteration of the endosomal pathway in APOE \u03b54+ and that pEVs pentraxin-2/\u03b1-synuclein ratio could serve as a useful early biomarker\u00a0for AD susceptibility.\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.

Anti-aging dietary restriction (DR) and intermittent fasting (IF) alter redox states that may contribute to their longevity effects. Pyruvate/lactate and acetoacetate/beta-hydroxybutyrate are indicators of the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial [NAD+]/[NADH], respectively, while the malate/pyruvate and isocitrate/alpha-ketoglutarate are indicators of the cytoplasmic [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Using these metabolite-pair ratios as redox indicators, the C57BL/6J mouse brain showed opposite redox changes with aging to the C57BL/6N mouse brain and human brain in the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Fasting caused universal reductive shifts in the brain cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+] and mitochondrial [NAD+]/[NADH]. The reductive shift in the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] with fasting was opposite to that occurring with anti-aging ketone ester supplementation or ketogenic diet, which have been shown to cause an oxidative shift of the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH], but a reductive shift of the cerebral cortical cytoplasmic [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Several pathways that influence redox metabolism and aging are discussed, including fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, the citric acid cycle, fatty acid beta-oxidation, glutaminolysis, the malate-aspartate shuttle, the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, the citrate-pyruvate shuttle, and the citrate-alpha-ketoglutarate shuttle. Brain proteome, brain single-cell RNA-Seq, and brain-region-specific bulk RNA-Seq data sets of aging and DR were examined, focusing on the pathways listed above to determine how they might contribute to the redox changes. Intermittent fasting has been shown to induce cyclic metabolic switching that contributes to neuroprotection and other health benefits resulting in delayed aging, while cyclic reductive redox shifts, especially in mitochondria, may be a driver of the beneficial effects.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41717224 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42567350 for the quote: \"Mediation analyses of plasma proteomic data suggested statistically significant mediation effects involving GFAP, NEFL, and APOE.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

To identify APOE \u03b54-associated metabolic factors related to AD risk and to provide preliminary insights into their biological and nutritional context. We leveraged multi-omics analyses across two independent cohorts to characterize biomarkers associated with AD. The effects of metabolite&nbsp;\u00d7&nbsp;APOE \u03b54 interactions were tested on incident AD and the \u03b54-specific metabolic signatures were pinpointed. Multimodal analyses were used to test the underlying mechanisms, including neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and PET biomarkers within the A/T/N framework, as well as plasma proteomics combined with bioinformatics enrichment analyses. Across both cohorts, valine emerged as the only metabolite associated with a reduced risk of incident AD specifically among APOE \u03b54 carriers (P&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;0.005). Significant interaction effects between valine and APOE \u03b54 were detected in both cohorts (P for meta-analyses&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;0.005). Higher levels of valine were associated with greater total white matter and posterior cingulate cortex volumes, as well as with lower levels of CSF tau proteins. Higher valine levels also predicted a slower decline in FDG-PET metabolism. No association was found between valine and A\u03b2. Mediation analyses of plasma proteomic data suggested statistically significant mediation effects involving GFAP, NEFL, and APOE (P&nbsp;&lt;&nbsp;2&nbsp;\u00d7&nbsp;10-16). Valine is a metabolite associated with lower AD risk in APOE \u03b54 carriers, with potential associations with tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and neuroinflammation-related processes.

Nose-to-brain (N2B) delivery has emerged as a non-invasive strategy to transport therapeutics to the central nervous system through the olfactory and trigeminal pathways, thereby partially bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Recent advances in nanomedicine and biomaterial engineering have further improved this approach by enhancing drug stability, nasal residence, mucosal transport, and brain-targeting efficiency. This review examines nanocarrier-enabled N2B delivery strategies for AD from a mechanism-guided perspective, highlighting how AD-related pathological processes shape the selection of therapeutic cargos and formulation designs. We discuss recent progress in the intranasal delivery of repurposed small molecules, natural products, insulin-related agents, peptides and proteins, extracellular vesicles, antibodies, and nucleic acid-based therapeutics. We further summarize major nanocarrier and formulation platforms, including lipid-based systems, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, extracellular vesicles, in situ gels, and device-assisted delivery technologies. Particular attention is given to the design parameters that influence N2B performance, including particle size distribution/PDI, surface charge, mucus interaction, cargo protection, targeting modification, biodistribution, and deposition reproducibility. Finally, we critically evaluate the translational challenges that continue to limit clinical application, including species differences in nasal anatomy, dose-volume restrictions, device-dependent variability, limited human pharmacokinetic evidence, manufacturing complexity, long-term safety, and regulatory requirements. By integrating disease mechanisms, nanocarrier design, and translational considerations, this review provides a structured perspective for developing more rational and clinically feasible N2B nanodelivery systems for AD.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42507332 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41304786 for the quote: \"Intranasal (IN) administration offers a minimally invasive approach to bypass the BBB and achieve direct, repeated delivery to the brain.\"\n  FACT: Quote was found in context but NOT in the specific abstract mapped to ID '41304786'.\n  \n  Below is the complete, true text of ID 41304786 that you MUST read. \n  Find a valid, verbatim, character-perfect sentence inside this exact block to cite instead, or change your claim to align with what this text actually says:\n  \n  --- BEGIN ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41304786 ---\n  ID: 41304786\nTitle: Nanoparticle-Mediated Nose-to-Brain Delivery for Ischemic Stroke Therapy: Preclinical Insights.\nAbstract: Ischemic stroke remains a major cause of mortality and long-term disability, yet current therapeutic strategies are largely limited to reperfusion approaches such as intravenous thrombolysis and thrombectomy, which are constrained by narrow treatment windows and the risk of complications. Moreover, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) severely restricts drug penetration into the injured brain, limiting the translation of promising neuroprotective agents into clinical success. Intranasal (IN) delivery has emerged as a compelling alternative route that bypasses the BBB and enables rapid access to the central nervous system through olfactory, trigeminal, and perivascular pathways. This narrative review highlights recent advances in preclinical research on IN therapeutics for ischemic stroke, ranging from small molecules and biologics to nucleic acids and cell-based therapies. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of nanotechnology, including extracellular vesicles, liposomes, and inorganic nanoparticles, which enhance drug stability, targeting, and bioavailability. Studies demonstrate that IN delivery of growth factors, cytokines, and engineered stem cells can promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis, white matter repair, and functional recovery, while nanocarriers further expand the therapeutic potential.

By transferring a diverse cargo of bioactive molecules, including proteins, RNAs, and organelles, EVs influence recipient cell behavior and overall brain function. In neurodegenerative conditions, glial EVs can either propagate pathogenic signals or deliver neuroprotective and regenerative cues, depending on their cellular origin and molecular composition. This context-dependent heterogeneity highlights the need for physiologically relevant human models to investigate EVs biology. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived glial models provide a disease-relevant platform, as they recapitulate key pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). When further integrated with brain organoid platforms, these iPSC-based systems enable the generation of three-dimensional environments that closely resemble in vivo EVs dynamics. Importantly, glial EVs can modulate cellular pathways involved in neuronal survival and function. Indeed, their potential to interact with and, under specific experimental conditions, traverse the blood-brain barrier (BBB) has contributed to growing interest in their application for biomarker discovery and therapeutic development. Engineered and patient-specific EVs derived from iPSCs are emerging as promising tools for targeted, cell type-specific, therapeutic approaches, although their clinical applicability still requires further validation. This review discusses the emerging evidence supporting the dual role of iPSC-derived glial EVs in health and disease, underscores the translational potential of iPSC-based platforms for mechanistic studies, and outlines their promise as precision medicine tools for diagnostics and therapy.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42352907 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41772271 for the quote: \"LRP1 plays a crucial role in A\u03b2 efflux, tau control, neuroinflammatory signaling, and neurovascular unit maintenance, making it a promising but unexplored therapeutic target.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Key symptoms include extracellular amyloid \u03b2 (A\u03b2) accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and BBB disruption. Integrative solutions are needed because conventional medicines merely relieve symptoms and cannot stop disease progression. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) plays a crucial role in A\u03b2 efflux, tau control, neuroinflammatory signaling, and neurovascular unit maintenance, making it a promising but unexplored therapeutic target. In AD and aging, LRP1 deficiency worsens clearance, vascular impairment, and neurodegeneration. Ligand-functionalized nanocarriers, antibodies, and gene manipulation show preclinical promise, but lower receptor expression, systemic off-target effects, and BBB penetration are challenges. Recent advances suggest innovative strategies, such as upregulating hepatic LRP1 for peripheral A\u03b2 storage, modulating cofactors like ANKS1A (ankyrin repeat and SAM domain containing protein 1A) for receptor trafficking, using engineered nanoparticles or extracellular vesicles as A\u03b2 decoys, preventing negative apolipoprotein E: ApoE4 and LRP1 interactions, and promoting neuroprotective pathways through LRP1 modulation. Endothelial-targeted gene therapy and dual transport rebalancing, which increases LRP1-mediated efflux and decreases RAGE-driven influx, are complementary. These precision strategies reposition LRP1 as a multifaceted therapeutic gateway rather than a clearance receptor, combining biomarker-driven patient stratification with next-generation delivery systems to transform AD disease-modifying therapies.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41772271 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 40920927 for the quote: \"Increased network activity is accompanied by increased lipid droplet (LD) metabolism, and blocking LD metabolism abolishes network activity.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Disrupting their homeostatic function has detrimental effects on neuronal circuit health. Neuroinflammation contributes to the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), with several microglial activation genes linked to increased risk for these conditions. Inflammatory microglia alter neuronal excitability, inducing metabolic strain. Interestingly, expression of APOE4, the strongest genetic risk factor for AD, affects both microglial activation and neuronal excitability, highlighting the interplay between lipid metabolism, inflammation, and neuronal function. It remains unclear how microglial inflammatory state is conveyed to neurons to affect circuit function and whether APOE4 expression alters this intercellular communication. Here, we use a reductionist model of human iPSC-derived microglial and neuronal monocultures to dissect how the APOE genotype in each cell type independently contributes to microglial regulation of neuronal activity during inflammation. Conditioned media (CM) from LPS-stimulated microglia increased neuronal network activity, assessed by calcium imaging, with APOE4 microglial CM driving greater neuronal activity than APOE3 CM. Both APOE3 and APOE4 neurons increase network activity in response to CM treatments, while APOE4 neurons uniquely increase presynaptic puncta in response to APOE4 microglial CM. CM-derived exosomes from LPS-stimulated microglia can mediate increases to network activity. Finally, increased network activity is accompanied by increased lipid droplet (LD) metabolism, and blocking LD metabolism abolishes network activity. These findings illuminate how microglia-to-neuron communication drives inflammation-induced changes in neuronal circuit function, demonstrate a role for neuronal LDs in network activity, and support a potential mechanism through which APOE4 increases neuronal excitability.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 40920927 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42393750 for the quote: \"When these controls destabilise, downstream pathology can be organised around three coupled effector axes: a lipid axis centred on APOE-biased cholesterol trafficking.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Microglia sit at the centre of this therapeutic gap. Single-nucleus and spatial profiling has resolved several AD-associated microglial states, yet state labels remain descriptive and do not explain why adaptive engagement becomes maladaptive. We frame AD-relevant microglial dysfunction as checkpoint collapse: progressive failure of regulatory nodes that coordinate lipid sensing, lysosomal competence, neuronal restraint, and inflammatory threshold control. The central nodes are TREM2-mediated lipid and apolipoprotein sensing, progranulin-associated lysosomal regulation, CX3CR1-dependent neuron-microglia restraint, and CD33/Siglec-3 inhibitory tone. When these controls destabilise, downstream pathology can be organised around three coupled effector axes: a lipid axis centred on APOE-biased cholesterol trafficking, ACSL1/DGAT2-driven lipid-droplet accumulation, and impaired lysosomal flux; an iron/ferroptosis axis involving labile iron, phospholipid peroxidation, and insufficient GPX4/FSP1 defences; and an inflammation/complement axis linking NLRP3 activation, type-I interferon signalling, and C1q/C3-dependent synaptic engulfment to tau pathology and synapse loss. White-matter injury, astrocyte-microglia crosstalk, and cGAS-STING-linked senescence are integrated as cross-axis amplifiers. This framework is proposed as a hypothesis-generating scaffold for biomarker-informed translational studies, rather than as a validated clinical stratification system. It may help organise stage-aware therapeutic hypotheses, including regulatory-node preservation in early disease, lipid-handling restoration and ferroptosis control at intermediate stages, and complement- or senescence-directed modulation in later disease. Current glial, iron, inflammatory, and imaging biomarkers remain insufficiently specific to assign individual patients reliably to discrete pathological axes in clinical practice.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42393750 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42342012 for the quote: \"Compared with apoE3, apoE4 overexpression was associated with higher TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA expression and higher phospho-tau levels.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

U87 MG cells were transiently transfected with apoE3-or apoE4-expressing plasmids, or transfected with apoE-targeting siRNA in the corresponding knockdown experiments. Phospho-NF-\u03baB p65 (Ser536), phospho-mTOR (Ser2448), phospho-4E-BP1 (Ser65), and phospho-tau (Ser202/Thr205) were assessed by Western blotting, and TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA levels were measured by RT-qPCR. Overexpression of both isoforms increased inflammatory and mTORC1-related signaling relative to vector control. Compared with apoE3, apoE4 overexpression was associated with higher TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA expression and higher phospho-tau levels, while differences in phospho-mTOR and phospho-4E-BP1 were not significant. Knockdown reduced these markers in both groups, with lower residual phospho-NF-\u03baB p65, TNF\u03b1, IL1\u03b2, phospho-4E-BP1, and phospho-tau levels in the apoE3-knockdown condition than in the apoE4-knockdown condition. Because apoE4 protein expression was higher than apoE3 in the transient overexpression system, between-isoform differences in the gain-of-function arm should be interpreted cautiously. These cell-based findings support an association between apoE isoforms and differential inflammatory and tau-related signaling linked to mTORC1. However, direct pharmacological or genetic validation of mTORC1 dependency was not performed, so the mechanistic relationship should be interpreted as suggestive rather than definitive.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42342012 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42346084 for the quote: \"APOE4 influences both neuronal development and the timing and persistence of inflammatory responses.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

The APOE4 allele represents one of the most prominent genetic risk factors. In this study, we investigated the impact of APOE4 on the cholinergic neuronal development and on the neuronal inflammatory response to TNF-\u03b1 stimulation. To address this, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) carrying a homozygous APOE4 genotype and an isogenic APOE3 control were differentiated into cholinergic-like induced neurons (iNs) by LHX8 overexpression. APOE4 was associated with accelerated early neuronal differentiation, as reflected by earlier downregulation of the progenitor marker Nestin. However, delayed expression of synaptophysin indicated impaired synaptic maturation. Functionally, APOE3 iNs exhibited a robust but temporally regulated response to TNF-\u03b1, whereas APOE4 iNs were characterized by a delayed yet sustained induction of inflammatory signaling. Moreover, APOE4 iNs displayed an enhanced stress-associated transcriptional response at early differentiation stages. Collectively, these findings suggest that APOE4 influences both neuronal development and the timing and persistence of inflammatory responses, potentially predisposing cholinergic neurons to later dysfunction in AD.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42346084 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42318557 for the quote: \"HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1), IL-1B, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) gene expression.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor composed of HIF-1\u03b1 and HIF-1\u03b2 subunits which, under hypoxic conditions, dimerize and activate hypoxia response element (HRE)-containing genes. HIF-1\u03b1 has been reported to be implicated in neuroinflammation, a key feature of AD. This study evaluated HIF1A and its negative regulator HIF1AN gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 308 cognitively healthy older individuals (controls) and 83 AD patients, and their associations with gene expression of HRE-containing inflammatory genes in PBMCs and corresponding protein concentrations in plasma. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from AD patients showed lower gene expression of both HIF1A and HIF1AN compared with controls, and this reduction was associated with higher odds of AD. In the overall cohort, after adjustment for age, sex, Apolipoprotein E \u03b54 status, and diagnosis, HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1), IL-1B, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) gene expression, whereas HIF1AN gene expression was negatively associated with IL-6, IL-1B, and TREM-1 gene expression. Furthermore, HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with plasma IL-1\u03b2 and soluble TREM-1 concentrations, while HIF1AN gene expression was negatively associated with IL-10 concentrations. Overall, these findings support the use of peripheral cells to investigate HIF-1 pathway dysregulation in AD and suggest that altered HIF-1\u03b1 signaling may reflect impaired cellular responsiveness linked to neuroinflammatory processes.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42318557 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42304162 for the quote: \"Treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs restored levels of oxidative stress markers and the expression of genes and/or proteins linked to various mitochondrial complexes.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

The current study rigorously investigated whether treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs could also alleviate several other neuropathological changes contributing to progressive cognitive decline. Three-month-old male and female 5xFAD mice received IN administrations of either hiPSC-NSC-EVs (~30\u2009\u00d7\u2009109/week for 2\u2009weeks) or vehicle. Two months later, the hippocampus of both male and female 5xFAD mice treated with the vehicle showed increased levels of markers of oxidative stress and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, altered expression of genes and/or proteins linked to mitochondria and autophagy, and diminished neurogenesis. In contrast, treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs restored levels of oxidative stress markers and the expression of genes and/or proteins linked to various mitochondrial complexes, mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, and mitophagy closer to na\u00efve control levels, indicating alleviation of mitochondrial impairments. These improvements were accompanied by reduced phosphorylated mTOR levels and multiple autophagy markers matching those in na\u00efve controls, suggesting a dampening of mTOR signaling and an enhancement of autophagy. Furthermore, mice treated with hiPSC-NSC-EVs showed increased hippocampal neurogenesis, associated with enhanced brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling. Overall, the results highlight that IN administrations of hiPSC-NSC-EVs in the early stages of AD can help slow the progression of multiple neuropathological changes associated with cognitive decline in 5xFAD mice and potentially AD.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42304162 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42300696 for the quote: \"Plasma p-tau217 showed strong correlations with CSF A\u03b242/A\u03b240 and p-tau181/A\u03b242 ratios, as well as with plasma GFAP.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

They modulate immune responses, deliver functional molecules and influence disease progression. However, whether bacterial EVs can access the brain and functionally affect host cells remains unclear. In this study, we engineered Escherichia coli-derived EVs by electroporating Cre recombinase mRNA (Ec EVCre) and assessed their transport and functional delivery following intranasal administration. Using mT/mG reporter mice, we observed EV uptake in the olfactory epithelium and recombination-driven GFP expression in a subset of neurons in the olfactory bulb, providing proof-of-concept for the functional delivery of bacterial EV-associated mRNA into the brain. Single-cell RNA sequencing and imaging analyses of the olfactory regions revealed neuronal and immune cell subsets as key EV targets. Microfluidic biochip chamber assays with cultured sensory neurons demonstrated that EVs undergo retrograde axonal transport from neurite terminals to the soma via signalling endosomes. Pharmacological inhibition significantly impaired EV uptake, supporting the involvement of endocytic pathways. In addition to neuronal entry, we discovered that phagocytic cells, including neutrophils and macrophages, can engulf EVCre in the nasal mucosa and migrate into the brain, providing an alternative immune-mediated route for vesicle delivery. Together, these findings indicate that bacterial EVs exploit both neuronal and phagocytic pathways to deliver functional RNA cargo into the brain, providing novel insights into microbial access to the central nervous system and its implications for neuroimmune interactions.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42275483 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42274471 for the quote: \"TP treatment significantly inhibited the hepatic sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2)/3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) pathway.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

As an anti-inflammatory drug, triptolide (TP), a natural diterpenoid from Tripterygium wilfordii, was selected in the current study for treating PS19 (tauP301S transgenic) mice, tauopathy AD mice. In addition, we have previously found that TP had the ability to reduce the level of cholesterol. However, the roles and mechanisms of TP in the above processes are not clear. To this end, we found that elevated cholesterol in serum and brain tissues upregulated the expression of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 3 (CD33), leading to the activation of SH2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1). The activation of SHP-1 inhibits the signaling pathways of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), which results in inhibition of the M2 polarization of microglia, which exacerbates neuroinflammation and cognitive decline in high-cholesterol diet (HCD)-fed mice. Conversely, TP treatment significantly inhibited the hepatic sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2)/3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) pathway, which reduced the cholesterol levels in the serum and brain. By depressing the levels of cholesterol, the axis of CD33 and SHP-1 was suppressed, which resulted in restoration of the activity of JAK1 and STAT6 pathways, leading to the transition of microglia from the M1 to the M2 phenotype. Of note, these observations demonstrate that TP alleviates the cognitive impairment of PS19 mice via depressing neuroinflammation. Altogether, our results revealed the mechanisms of TP in treating AD via CD33/SHP-1/JAK1/STAT6 pathways in a cholesterol-dependent manner.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42274471 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42212127 for the quote: \"The core molecular mechanisms governing this plasticity, including the pivotal Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2)-APOE signaling axis.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Neuroinflammation, once considered a secondary phenomenon, is now established as a third core pathological pillar of AD, with microglia at its epicenter. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted role of microglia in AD pathogenesis and evaluates the rapidly evolving landscape of microglia-targeted therapeutic strategies. We first delineate the dynamic and dichotomous function of microglia, which act as a \"double-edged sword.\" Emerging evidence reveals a complex, three-stage functional arc: microglia are implicated in the initial seeding of A\u03b2 plaques, then transition to a neuroprotective role by containing established plaques, and finally devolve into a chronic, pro-inflammatory state that drives neurodegeneration. We then delve into the core molecular mechanisms governing this plasticity, including the pivotal Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2)-APOE signaling axis, the inhibitory receptor Cluster of Differentiation 33 (CD33), and key intracellular hubs like the NLRP3 inflammasome, which directly link genetic risk factors to microglial dysregulation. Based on this mechanistic understanding, we critically evaluate diverse therapeutic strategies, ranging from suppressing neurotoxic inflammation (e.g., TNF-\u03b1 and NLRP3 inhibitors) to enhancing protective functions (e.g., TREM2 agonism and CD33 antagonism), eliminating senescent microglia (senolytics), and utilizing advanced nanoplatforms for brain-targeted delivery. Finally, we highlight the critical role of neuroinflammatory biomarkers within the emerging ATI(N) framework for enabling precision medicine.

Beyond its classical roles in cushioning the brain, CSF serves as a regulated conduit for growth factors, ions, extracellular vesicles, and other bioactive molecules. Emerging evidence suggests that the ChP contributes to shaping CSF composition through energy-dependent transport and state-responsive secretion. Ventricular-contacting NSCs sense CSF cues via apical endfeet and primary cilia, integrating signals to regulate their behavior. Lifespan-dependent remodeling of CSF composition and niche architecture reshapes NSC function from embryonic expansion to adult homeostasis and age-associated decline. Beyond the ventricular niche, ChP-derived factors influence circuit maturation and vulnerability to neurodegeneration. Orthodenticle homeobox 2 regulates critical period timing and neuroblast integration, whereas apolipoprotein E couples lipid metabolisms and amyloid-\u03b2 homeostasis to neurogenesis with Alzheimer's disease risk. Additional ChP-secreted proteins, including transthyretin and clusterin, further shape the extracellular proteostatic and lipid environment. Together, these findings support the view of the ChP-CSF axis as an adaptive regulator across the lifespan that integrates stem cell dynamics, circuit plasticity, and neurodegenerative susceptibility.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42099804 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42074196 for the quote: \"Mitochondrial connectivity functions as an integrative descriptor of cellular resilience.\"\n  FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

Mitochondrial dynamics-including fusion-fission balance, mitophagy-biogenesis coupling, intracellular organization, and intercellular transfer via tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, or transient cell fusion-contribute to tissue adaptation and functional decline during aging. Focusing on cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and the nervous system, this narrative review synthesizes current evidence describing how aging disrupts mitochondrial network integrity through altered dynamics, impaired organelle positioning and transport, reduced mitophagy, mtDNA instability, and compromised metabolic coupling between cells. These alterations propagate across tissues, limiting energetic flexibility, stress resilience, and regenerative capacity. Building on these mechanisms, we discuss a systems-level perspective in which aging is associated with progressive loss of mitochondrial network coherence rather than solely cumulative molecular damage. Within this framework, mitochondrial connectivity functions as an integrative descriptor of cellular resilience: well-organized networks counteract metabolic perturbations, whereas functionally decoupled networks amplify stress and promote maladaptive aging trajectories. Emerging evidence indicates that physiological and pharmacological interventions, including endurance exercise, caloric restriction or mimetics, fusion-supporting pathways, and mitophagy-enhancing strategies, can partially restore network organization even later in life. Molecular, cellular, and tissue-level insights are integrated to highlight mitochondrial network dynamics as both a mechanistic contributor to aging and a potentially modifiable target for future preventive and therapeutic interventions.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42074196 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41997082 for the quote: \"Exosomes offer a stable and cell-specific cargo reservoir that may reflect central pathogenic processes and serve as a minimally invasive biomarker source.\"\n  FACT: Quote was found in context but NOT in the specific abstract mapped to ID '41997082'.\n  \n  Below is the complete, true text of ID 41997082 that you MUST read. \n  Find a valid, verbatim, character-perfect sentence inside this exact block to cite instead, or change your claim to align with what this text actually says:\n  \n  --- BEGIN ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41997082 ---\n  ID: 41997082\nTitle: Translational advances of exosomes in neurodegeneration towards precision healthcare: From biomarkers to therapeutic frontiers.\nAbstract: Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) that mediate intercellular communication and carry proteins, lipids, mRNAs, and non-coding RNAs reflective of their parental cells. Their biogenesis, molecular composition, and ability to traverse physiological barriers, including the blood-brain barrier, position exosomes as powerful candidates for biomarker development and therapeutic delivery in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). In Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and prion disorders, exosomes not only mirror pathological processes but actively participate in the propagation of misfolded proteins and neuroinflammatory signals through cell-type-specific vesicle subpopulations. This review synthesises current advances in exosome biology, cargo sorting, release mechanisms, and pathophysiological roles in the central nervous system, with emphasis on how neuron-, astrocyte-, and microglia-derived exosomes diverge in their cargo profiles and functional consequences across diseases. We highlight disease-specific exosomal signatures, including amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), tau, \u03b1-synuclein, myelin proteins, prion proteins (PrP) and regulatory microRNAs. We evaluate emerging technologies such as microfluidic isolation, single-vesicle analysis, and multi-omics profiling that are accelerating biomarker discovery, and review exosome-based therapeutic strategies, including native stem cell-derived exosomes and surface-engineered vesicles loaded with neuroprotective miRNAs, small molecules, and gene-editing cargo. We address critical unmet challenges in translating these approaches to the clinic, including scalable and standardised production, incomplete pharmacokinetic /pharmacodynamic characterisation in preclinical models, immunogenicity and off-target safety concerns, and the absence of specific regulatory guidance for EV drug products.

Several factors like oxidative stress, DNA damage, neuroinflammation, and altered proteostasis mark the onset of cellular senescence. A growing body of evidence highlights a strong association between cellular senescence and the development of neurodegenerative disorders, where the accumulation of senescent cells contribute to chronic inflammation, tissue dysfunction, and progressive neuronal degeneration. Despite significant advances in understanding brain aging, effective therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms remain limited. Over the years, targeting cellular senescence has emerged as a promising strategy in the development of senotherapeutics for age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. Stem cells and their acellular derivatives, such as the secretome, extracellular vesicles, and mitochondria, have recently emerged as promising senotherapeutic candidates. As evidenced from previous reports, cell-free components of stem cells may confer senotherapeutic benefits by delivering bioactive molecules and maintaining tissue microenvironmental homeostasis to rejuvenate the senescent cells. However, previous reviews have predominantly focussed on senotherapeutics and role of stem cells as antiaging agents. There remains a lack of integrated understanding of their role in modulating brain aging and neurodegeneration. In this review, we discuss the mechanistic role of cellular senescence in neurodegeneration contributing to brain aging and highlight emerging insights into stem cell and its acellular products as potential senotherapeutic strategies. Furthermore, we have highlighted some therapeutic strategies based on acellular products of stem cells in for combating age-associated brain dysfunction. Our manuscript uniquely provides a comprehensive essay on mechanistic insights, therapeutic convergence, and translational implications.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41973384 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED

However, aging is a heterogeneous process, and individual organisms age differently. Moreover, within the same organism, cells or organs do not age at the same speed. For instance, neurodegeneration, a hallmark of aging, generally manifests later than other peripheral aging signs. The genetic determinants of aging are not completely understood. Gain-of-function (GoF) mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2GoF) are major genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD). By analyzing PD patients and LRRK2GoF mice, we show that PD represents an accelerated aging disorder driven by STING-dependent inflammation. This inflammation begins peripherally, disrupts the blood-brain barrier, and causes dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Mechanistically, aging or LRRK2GoF causes endolysosomal decline, resulting in cytosolic self-DNA accumulation and the release of DNA-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) that activate the cGAS-STING pathway within and between cells. Our findings identify LRRK2GoF as a key driver of accelerated aging and systemic inflammaging through DNA-containing EVs, highlighting potential therapeutic targets to counteract inflammaging and neurodegeneration.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42397737 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Intranasal delivery provides a rapid, non-invasive route to the central nervous system,

The current study rigorously investigated whether treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs could also alleviate several other neuropathological changes contributing to progressive cognitive decline. Three-month-old male and female 5xFAD mice received IN administrations of either hiPSC-NSC-EVs (~30\u2009\u00d7\u2009109/week for 2\u2009weeks) or vehicle. Two months later, the hippocampus of both male and female 5xFAD mice treated with the vehicle showed increased levels of markers of oxidative stress and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, altered expression of genes and/or proteins linked to mitochondria and autophagy, and diminished neurogenesis. In contrast, treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs restored levels of oxidative stress markers and the expression of genes and/or proteins linked to various mitochondrial complexes, mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, and mitophagy closer to na\u00efve control levels, indicating alleviation of mitochondrial impairments. These improvements were accompanied by reduced phosphorylated mTOR levels and multiple autophagy markers matching those in na\u00efve controls, suggesting a dampening of mTOR signaling and an enhancement of autophagy. Furthermore, mice treated with hiPSC-NSC-EVs showed increased hippocampal neurogenesis, associated with enhanced brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling. Overall, the results highlight that IN administrations of hiPSC-NSC-EVs in the early stages of AD can help slow the progression of multiple neuropathological changes associated with cognitive decline in 5xFAD mice and potentially AD.\n  --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42304162 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Intranasal delivery provides a rapid, non-invasive route to the central

This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\n\"Intranasal co-administration of ApoE-functionalized extracellular vesicles (EVs) and metabolic modulators like glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) may synergistically restore glial bioenergetics and suppress LRP1-mediated NF-\u03baB inflammatory signaling in AD and ALS models.\"\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThe hypothesis posits that a combinatorial intranasal therapeutic strategy using ApoE-functionalized extracellular vesicles and metabolic substrates (specifically G3P) could target the LRP1-NF-\u03baB inflammatory axis while addressing glial bioenergetic collapse in neurodegenerative contexts. The provided literature supports the efficacy of intranasal delivery, the role of ApoE in LRP1-mediated regulation of inflammatory signaling, and the importance of metabolic rescue (including oxidative phosphorylation and lipid metabolism) in both AD and ALS.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nCurrent literature supports the conceptual framework that extracellular vesicles (EVs) can serve as biological carriers capable of bypassing the blood-brain barrier to modulate neuroinflammatory pathways. Intranasal delivery provides a rapid, non-invasive route to the central nervous system, bypassing the blood-brain barrier and first-pass metabolism. The pivotal signaling axis connecting these processes is the interaction between ApoE and LRP1. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. This is further validated by observations that genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. Furthermore, the eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. Metabolic dysfunction is a key contributor to disease pathogenesis, as imbalance in lipid homeostasis is a key driver of AD. Restoration of bioenergetics, specifically through modulation of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis, is facilitated by therapeutic EV delivery, as seen in findings where uptake of these vesicles markedly enhanced microglial bioenergetics, driving coordinated upregulation of both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n*   Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells.\n*   They mimicked the protective effect of recombinant ApoE3Ch on endothelial integrity by restoring \u03b2-catenin nuclear localization.\n*   Some of these differentially expressed miRNAs were associated with key AD-related comorbidities such as APOE genotype, age, and metabolic burden and were predicted to target genes within NF-\u03baB -regulated inflammatory pathways.\n*   We demonstrated the remarkable potential of MenSC-EVs in alleviating atherosclerosis through the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway.\n*   APOE \u03b54 carriers presented further reductions in SV2A levels compared with noncarriers.\n*   SeNExo penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via the apolipoprotein E and prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (APOE_LRP-1) interaction.\n*   In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons.\n*   One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2).\n*   Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Some studies now link the pathway dysfunction of the EVs to apolipoprotein E gene variant (APOE \u03b54) and the risk of progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD). To better understand the role of APOE \u03b54 in pre-clinical AD, we have determined levels of pathogenic, neurotrophic and inflammatory proteins in peripheral EVs (pEVs) and in plasma from cognitively impaired, no dementia (CIND) participants stratified upon the absence (APOE \u03b54-) or the presence (APOE \u03b54+ ) of the \u03b54 allele of APOE. Levels of 15 neurodegenerative, neurotrophic and neuroinflammatory proteins were quantified in pEVs and compared to their plasma levels from cognitively normal and CIND participants. Levels of neurotrophic and inflammatory markers were reduced in pEVs from APOE \u03b54+. The pentraxin-2/\u03b1-synuclein ratio measured in pEVs was able to predict AD 5 years before the onset among APOE \u03b54+-CIND individuals. Our findings suggest an alteration of the endosomal pathway in APOE \u03b54+ and that pEVs pentraxin-2/\u03b1-synuclein ratio could serve as a useful early biomarker\u00a0for AD susceptibility.",
        "34028667": "ID: 34028667\nTitle: miR-146a Dysregulates Energy Metabolism During Neuroinflammation.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by chronic neuroinflammation and a reduction in brain energy metabolism. An important role has emerged for small, non-coding RNA molecules known as microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathophysiology of many neurodegenerative disorders. As epigenetic regulators, miRNAs possess the capacity to regulate and fine tune protein production by inhibiting translation. Several miRNAs, which include miR-146a, are elevated in the brain, CSF, and plasma of AD patients. miR-146a participates in pathways that regulate immune activation and has several mRNA targets which encode for proteins involved in cellular energy metabolism. An additional role for extracellular vesicles (EVs) has also emerged in the progression AD, as EVs can transfer functionally active proteins and RNAs from diseased to healthy cells. In the current study, we exposed various cell types present within the CNS to immunomodulatory molecules and observed significant upregulation of miR-146a expression, both within cells and within their secreted EVs. Further, we assessed the effects of miR-146a overexpression on bioenergetic function in primary rat glial cells and found significant reductions in oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Lastly, we correlated miR-146a expression levels within various regions of the AD brain to disease staging and found significant, positive correlations. These novel results demonstrate that the modulation of miR-146a in response to neuroinflammatory stimuli may mediate the loss of mitochondrial integrity and function in cells, thereby contributing to the progression of beta-amyloid and tau pathology in the AD brain. Multiple inflammatory stimuli can upregulate miRNA-146a expression within neurons, mixed glial cells, and brain endothelial cells, which is either retained within these cells or released from them as extracellular vesicle cargo. The upregulation of miR-146a disrupts cellular bioenergetics in mixed glial cells. This mechanism may play a critical role in the neuroinflammatory response observed during Alzheimer's disease.",

Here, we studied the impact of APOE \u03b54 on the level of apolipoproteins with antioxidant activities along with oxidative markers in circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and plasma from cognitively impaired-not demented (CIND) individuals converted to AD (CIND-AD). Apolipoproteins E, J, and D and antioxidant response markers were determined in cEVs and plasma using immunoblotting, electrochemical examination, and spectrofluorimetry. Total antioxidant capacity and apolipoprotein D levels in cEVs, as judged by regression analysis and cognitive performance correlations, allowed us to differentiate CIND APOE \u03b54 carriers from controls and to predict their progression to AD 5 years later. Our findings support the pathological redox linkage between APOE \u03b54 and AD onset and suggest the use of cEVs oxidative signature in early AD diagnosis.",

Of the 6.2 million Americans living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2021, 3.8 million are women and 2.4 million are men. The strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD is apolipoprotein E-e4 (APOE-e4). Female APOE-e4 carriers develop AD more frequently than age-matched males and have more brain atrophy and memory loss. Consequently, biomarkers that are sensitive to biological risk factors may improve AD diagnostics and may provide insight into underlying mechanistic changes that could drive disease progression. Here, we have assessed the effects of sex and APOE-e4 on the miRNA cargo of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) extracellular vesicles (EVs) in AD. We used ultrafiltration (UF) combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to enrich CSF EVs (e.g., Flotillin+). CSF EVs were isolated from female and male AD or controls (CTLs) that were either APOE-e3,4 or -e3,3 positive (n = 7/group, 56 total). MiRNA expression levels were quantified using a custom TaqMan\u2122 array that assayed 190 miRNAs previously found in CSF, including 25 miRNAs that we previously validated as candidate AD biomarkers. We identified changes in the EV miRNA cargo that were affected by both AD and sex. In total, four miRNAs (miR-16-5p, -331-3p, -409-3p, and -454-3p) were significantly increased in AD vs. CTL, independent of sex and APOE-e4 status. Pathway analysis of the predicted gene targets of these four miRNAs with identified pathways was highly relevant to neurodegeneration (e.g., senescence and autophagy). There were also three miRNAs (miR-146b-5p, -150-5p, and -342-3p) that were significantly increased in females vs. males, independent of disease state and APOE-e4 status. We then performed a statistical analysis to assess the effect of APOE genotype in AD within each sex and found that APOE-e4 status affects different subsets of CSF EV miRNAs in females vs. males. Together, this study demonstrates the complexity of the biological factors associated with AD risk and the impact on EV miRNAs, which may contribute to AD pathophysiology.",
        "36405397": "ID: 36405397\nTitle: Relationships of APOE Genotypes With Small RNA and Protein Cargo of Brain Tissue Extracellular Vesicles From Patients With Late-Stage AD.\nAbstract: Variants of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene are the greatest known risk factors for sporadic Alzheimer disease (AD). Three major APOE isoform alleles, \u03b52, \u03b53, and \u03b54, encode and produce proteins that differ by only 1-2 amino acids but have different binding partner interactions. Whereas APOE \u03b52 is protective against AD relative to \u03b53, \u03b54 is associated with an increased risk for AD development. However, the role of APOE in gene regulation in AD pathogenesis has remained largely undetermined. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited particles released by cells to dispose of unwanted materials and mediate intercellular communication, and they are implicated in AD pathophysiology. Brain-derived EVs (bdEVs) could act locally in the tissue and reflect cellular changes. To reveal whether APOE genotype affects EV components in AD brains, bdEVs were separated from patients with AD with different APOE genotypes for parallel small RNA and protein profile. bdEVs from late-stage AD brains (BRAAK stages 5-6) from patients with APOE genotypes \u03b52/3 (n = 5), \u03b53/3 (n = 5), \u03b53/4 (n = 6), and \u03b54/4 (n = 6) were separated using our published protocol into a 10,000g pelleted extracellular fraction (10K) and a further purified EV fraction. Counting, sizing, and multiomic characterization by small RNA sequencing and proteomic analysis were performed for 10K, EVs, and source tissue. Comparing APOE genotypes, no significant differences in bdEV total particle concentration or morphology were observed. Overall small RNA and protein profiles of 10K, EVs, and source tissue also did not differ substantially between different APOE genotypes. However, several differences in individual RNAs (including miRNAs and tRNAs) and proteins in 10K and EVs were observed when comparing the highest and lowest risk groups (\u03b54/4 and \u03b52/3). Bioinformatic analysis and previous publications indicate a potential regulatory role of these molecules in AD. For patients with late-stage AD in this study, only a few moderate differences were observed for small RNA and protein profiles between APOE genotypes. Among these, several newly identified 10K and EV-associated molecules may play roles in AD progression. Possibly, larger genotype-related differences exist and are more apparent in or before earlier disease stages.",

To date, LATE-NC is difficult to diagnose antemortem using clinical information or biomarkers. Recent studies suggest concentrations of extracellular vesicle (EVs) protein cargo derived from neuronal and glial cells may serve as useful diagnostic biomarkers for AD and other neurodegenerative diseases. TDP-43 was evaluated in neuronal (NDEVs), astrocyte (ADEVs), and microglial derived extracellular vesicles (MDEVs). EV preparations were isolated from the plasma of research subjects with autopsy-confirmed diagnoses, including many with LATE (n\u00a0=\u00a022). Quantified TDP-43 concentrations were compared to the cohort that included healthy controls, mild cognitively impairment (MCI), and AD dementia with diagnoses other than LATE-NC (n\u00a0=\u00a042). TDP-43 was significantly elevated in plasma ADEVs derived from autopsy confirmed LATE-NC subjects, with or without comorbid AD pathology. Measurable levels of TDP-43 were also detected in EV-depleted plasma; however, TDP-43 levels were not significantly different between persons with and without eventual autopsy confirmed LATE-NC. No correlation was observed between EV TDP-43 levels with cognition-based variables, sex, and APOE carrier status. Blood-based EVs, specifically measuring TDP-43 accumulation in ADEVs, may serve as a potential diagnostic tool to rapidly identify subjects who are currently living with LATE-NC.",
        "36649440": "ID: 36649440\nTitle: Brain endothelium-derived extracellular vesicles containing amyloid-beta induce mitochondrial alterations in neural progenitor cells.\nAbstract: Elevated brain deposits of amyloid beta (A\u03b240) contribute to neuropathology and cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the role of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) as an interface for the transfer of A\u03b240 from the periphery into the brain is not well characterized. In addition, a substantial population of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) resides in close proximity to brain capillaries that form the BBB. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of brain endothelium-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) containing A\u03b240 on metabolic functions and differentiation of NPCs. Endothelial EVs were derived from an in vitro model of the brain endothelium treated with 100 nM A\u03b240 or PBS. We then analyzed the impact of these EVs on mitochondrial morphology and bioenergetic disruption of NPCs. In addition, NPCs were differentiated and neurite development upon exposure to EVs was assessed using the IncuCyte Zoom live cell imaging system. We demonstrate that physiological concentrations of A\u03b240 can be transferred to accumulate in NPCs via endothelial EVs. This transfer results in mitochondrial dysfunction, disrupting crista morphology, metabolic rates, fusion and fission dynamics of NPCs, as well as their neurite development. Intercellular transfer of A\u03b240 is carried out by brain endothelium-derived EVs, which can affect NPC differentiation and induce mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to aberrant neurogenesis. This has pathological implications because NPCs growing into neurons are incorporated into cerebral structures involved in learning and memory, two common phenotypes affected in AD and related dementias.",
        "37605307": "ID: 37605307\nTitle: Role of miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p in the inflammatory pathway regulated by NF-\u03baB in experimental and human atherosclerosis.\nAbstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) prevalence has significantly increased in the last decade and atherosclerosis development is the main trigger. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression of their target and their levels are frequently altered in CVDs. By RT-qPCR, we analysed miR-9-5p, miR-15a-5p, miR-16-5p and miR-199a-3p levels in aorta from apolipoprotein knockout (ApoE-/- ) mice, an experimental model of hyperlipidemia-induced atherosclerosis, and in human aortic and carotid atherosclerotic samples. By in silico studies, Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence studies, we detected the targets of the altered miRNAs. Our results show that miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p are significantly decreased in carotid and aortic samples from patients and mice with atherosclerosis. In addition, we found an increased expression in targets of both miRNAs that participate in the inflammatory pathway of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB), such as IKK\u03b1, IKK\u03b2 and p65. In human vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the overexpression of miR-15a-5p or miR-199a-3p decreased IKK\u03b1, IKK\u03b2 and p65 protein levels as well as NF-\u03baB activation. On the other hand, miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p overexpression reduced ox-LDL uptake and the inflammation regulated by NF-\u03baB in VSMCs. Moreover, although miR-15a-5p and miR-199a-3p were significantly increased in exosomes from patients with advanced carotid atherosclerosis, only in the ROC analyses for miR-15a-5p, the area under the curve was 0.8951 with a p value of .0028. Our results suggest that the decrease of miR-199a-3p and miR-15a-5p in vascular samples from human and experimental atherosclerosis could be involved in the NF-\u03baB activation pathway, as well as in ox-LDL uptake by VSMCs, contributing to inflammation and progression atherosclerosis. Finally, miR-15a-5p could be used as a novel diagnostic biomarker for advanced atherosclerosis.",

For this purpose, we studied changes in neuroprotective proteins proBDNF, BDNF, and humanin in plasma NDEVs from patients with mild to moderate AD participating in the randomized controlled trial (RCT) of exercise ADEX. proBDNF, BDNF, and humanin were quantified in NDEVs immunocaptured from the plasma of 95 ADEX participants, randomized into exercise and control groups, and collected at baseline and 16\u00a0weeks. Exploratorily, we also quantified NDEV levels of putative exerkines known to respond to exercise in peripheral tissues. NDEV levels of proBDNF, BDNF, and humanin increased in the exercise group, especially in APOE \u03b54 carriers, but remained unchanged in the control group. Inter-correlations between NDEV biomarkers observed at baseline were maintained after exercise. NDEV levels of putative exerkines remained unchanged. Findings suggest that the cognitive benefits of exercise could be mediated by the upregulation of neuroprotective factors in NDEVs. Additionally, our results indicate that AD subjects carrying APOE \u03b54 are more responsive to the neuroprotective effects of physical activity. Unchanged NDEV levels of putative exerkines after physical activity imply that exercise engages different pathways in neurons and peripheral tissues. Future studies should aim to expand upon the effects of exercise duration, intensity, and type in NDEVs from patients with early AD and additional neurodegenerative disorders. The Effect of Physical Exercise in Alzheimer Patients (ADEX) was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov on April 30, 2012 with the identifier NCT01681602.",

This study aims to 1) analyze the possible cross-linkage of the neurotoxic amyloid-\u03b2 oligomers (oA\u03b2) to the human cEVs, 2) identify cEVs corona proteins associated with oA\u03b2 binding, and 3) analyze the distribution and expression of targeted cEVs proteins in preclinical participants converted to AD 5 years later (Pre-AD). cEVs were isolated from 15 Pre-AD participants and 15 healthy controls selected from the Canadian Study of Health and Aging. Biochemical, clinical, lipid, and inflammatory profiles were measured. oA\u03b2 and cEVs interaction was determined by nanoparticle tracking analysis and proteinase K digestion. cEVs bound proteins were determined by ELISA. oA\u03b2 were trapped by cEVs and were topologically bound to their external surface. We identified surface-exposed proteins functionally able to conjugate oA\u03b2 including apolipoprotein J (apoJ), apoE and RAGE, with apoJ being 30- to 130-fold higher than RAGE and apoE, respectively. The expression of cEVs apoJ was significantly lower in Pre-AD up to 5 years before AD onset. Our findings suggest that cEVs might participate in oA\u03b2 clearance and that early dysregulation of cEVs could increase the risk of conversion to AD.",
        "38003448": "ID: 38003448\nTitle: Potential Implications of miRNAs in the Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Therapeutics of Alzheimer's Disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex multifactorial disorder that poses a substantial burden on patients, caregivers, and society. Considering the increased aging population and life expectancy, the incidence of AD will continue to rise in the following decades. However, the molecular pathogenesis of AD remains controversial, superior blood-based biomarker candidates for early diagnosis are still lacking, and effective therapeutics to halt or slow disease progression are urgently needed. As powerful genetic regulators, microRNAs (miRNAs) are receiving increasing attention due to their implications in the initiation, development, and theranostics of various diseases, including AD. In this review, we summarize miRNAs that directly target microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), amyloid precursor protein (APP), and \u03b2-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) transcripts and regulate the alternative splicing of tau and APP. We also discuss related kinases, such as glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3\u03b2, cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5), and death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1), as well as apolipoprotein E, that are directly targeted by miRNAs to control tau phosphorylation and amyloidogenic APP processing leading to A\u03b2 pathologies. Moreover, there is evidence of miRNA-mediated modulation of inflammation. Furthermore, circulating miRNAs in the serum or plasma of AD patients as noninvasive biomarkers with diagnostic potential are reviewed. In addition, miRNA-based therapeutics optimized with nanocarriers or exosomes as potential options for AD treatment are discussed.",
        "38149847": "ID: 38149847\nTitle: Vertical transmission of maternal DNA through extracellular vesicles associates with altered embryo bioenergetics during the periconception period.\nAbstract: The transmission of DNA through extracellular vesicles (EVs) represents a novel genetic material transfer mechanism that may impact genome evolution and tumorigenesis. We aimed to investigate the potential for vertical DNA transmission within maternal endometrial EVs to the pre-implantation embryo and describe any effect on embryo bioenergetics. We discovered that the human endometrium secretes all three general subtypes of EV - apoptotic bodies (ABs), microvesicles (MVs), and exosomes (EXOs) - into the human endometrial fluid (EF) within the uterine cavity. EVs become uniformly secreted into the EF during the menstrual cycle, with the proportion of different EV populations remaining constant; however, MVs contain significantly higher levels of mitochondrial (mt)DNA than ABs or EXOs. During the window of implantation, MVs contain an eleven-fold higher level of mtDNA when compared to cells-of-origin within the receptive endometrium, which possesses a lower mtDNA content and displays the upregulated expression of mitophagy-related genes. Furthermore, we demonstrate the internalization of EV-derived nuclear-encoded (n)DNA/mtDNA by trophoblast cells of murine embryos, which associates with a reduction in mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. These findings suggest that the maternal endometrium suffers a reduction in mtDNA content during the preconceptional period, that nDNA/mtDNA become packaged into secreted EVs that the embryo uptakes, and that the transfer of DNA to the embryo within EVs occurs alongside the modulation of bioenergetics during implantation.",

We report the first application of solid-state technology to perform multiplex analysis of single exosomes in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from the lumbar sac of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD, n=30) or Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD, n=30), as well as age-matched health controls (HCN, n=30). Single events were captured with mouse monoclonal antibodies to one of three different tetraspanins (CD9, CD63, or CD81) or with mouse (M) IgG control, and then probed with fluorescently labeled antibodies to prion protein (PrP) or CD47 to mark neuronal or presynaptic origin, as well as ADD- and PDD-related proteins: amyloid beta (A\u03b2), tau, \u03b1-synuclein, and Apolipoprotein (Apo) E. Data were collected only from captured events that were within the size range of 50 to 200 nm. Exosomes were present at approximately 100 billion per mL human CSF and were similarly abundant for CD9+ and CD81+ events, but CD63+ were only 22% to 25% of CD9+ (P<0.0001) or CD81+ (P<0.0001) events. Approximately 24% of CSF exosomes were PrP+, while only 2% were CD47+. The vast majority of exosomes were surface ApoE+, and the number of PrP-ApoE+ (P<0.001) and PrP+ApoE+ (P<0.01) exosomes were significantly reduced in ADD vs. HCN for CD9+ events only. A\u03b2, tau, and \u03b1-synuclein were not detected on the exosome surface or in permeabilized cargo. These data provide new insights into single exosome molecular features and highlight reduction in the CSF concentration of ApoE+ exosomes in patients with ADD.",
        "38416841": "ID: 38416841\nTitle: APOE from patient-derived astrocytic extracellular vesicles alleviates neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder in a mouse model.\nAbstract: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune astrocytopathy of the central nervous system, mediated by antibodies against aquaporin-4 water channel protein (AQP4-Abs), resulting in damage of astrocytes with subsequent demyelination and axonal damage. Extracellular communication through astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) has received growing interest in association with astrocytopathies. However, to what extent ADEVs contribute to NMOSD pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, through proteomic screening of patient-derived ADEVs, we observed an increase in apolipoprotein E (APOE)-rich ADEVs in patients with AQP4-Abs-positive NMOSD. Intracerebral injection of the APOE-mimetic peptide APOE130-149 attenuated microglial reactivity, neuroinflammation, and brain lesions in a mouse model of NMOSD. The protective effect of APOE in NMOSD pathogenesis was further established by the exacerbated lesion volume in APOE-deficient mice, which could be rescued by exogenous APOE administration. Genetic knockdown of the APOE receptor lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) could block the restorative effects of APOE130-149 administration. The transfusion ADEVs derived from patients with NMOSD and healthy controls also alleviated astrocyte loss, reactive microgliosis, and demyelination in NMOSD mice. The slightly larger beneficial effect of patient-derived ADEVs as compared to ADEVs from healthy controls was further augmented in APOE-/- mice. These results indicate that APOE from astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles could mediate disease-modifying astrocyte-microglia cross-talk in NMOSD.",
        "38777335": "ID: 38777335\nTitle: Apolipoprotein E2 Expression Alters Endosomal Pathways in a Mouse Model With Increased Brain Exosome Levels During Aging.\nAbstract: The polymorphic APOE gene is the greatest genetic determinant of sporadic Alzheimer's disease risk: the APOE4 allele increases risk, while the APOE2 allele is neuroprotective compared with the risk-neutral APOE3 allele. The neuronal endosomal system is inherently vulnerable during aging, and APOE4 exacerbates this vulnerability by driving an enlargement of early endosomes and reducing exosome release in the brain of humans and mice. We hypothesized that the protective effects of APOE2 are, in part, mediated through the endosomal pathway. Messenger RNA analyses showed that APOE2 leads to an enrichment of endosomal pathways in the brain when compared with both APOE3 and APOE4. Moreover, we show age-dependent alterations in the recruitment of key endosomal regulatory proteins to vesicle compartments when comparing APOE2 to APOE3. In contrast to the early endosome enlargement previously shown in Alzheimer's disease and APOE4 models, we detected similar morphology and abundance of early endosomes and retromer-associated vesicles within cortical neurons of aged APOE2 targeted-replacement mice compared with APOE3. Additionally, we observed increased brain extracellular levels of endosome-derived exosomes in APOE2 compared with APOE3 mice during aging, consistent with enhanced endosomal cargo clearance by exosomes to the extracellular space. Our findings thus demonstrate that APOE2 enhances an endosomal clearance pathway, which has been shown to be impaired by APOE4 and which may be protective due to APOE2 expression during brain aging.",
        "38943196": "ID: 38943196\nTitle: Comparison of plasma soluble and extracellular vesicles-associated biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease patients and cognitively normal individuals.\nAbstract: Amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) and tau are brain hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), also present in blood as soluble biomarkers or encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EVs). Our goal was to assess how soluble plasma biomarkers of AD pathology correlate with the number and content of EVs. Single-molecule enzyme-linked assays were used to quantify A\u03b242/40 and tau in plasma samples and neurally-derived EVs (NDEVs) from a cohort of APOE \u03b54- (n\u2009=\u2009168) and APOE \u03b54+ (n\u2009=\u200968) cognitively normal individuals and AD patients (n\u2009=\u200955). The ratio of CD56 (Neuronal cell-adhesion molecule) to CD81 signal measured by ELISA-DELFIA was used for the relative quantification of NDEVs in plasma samples. The soluble plasma A\u03b242/40 ratio is decreased in AD patients compared to cognitively normal individuals. The amount and content (A\u03b240, A\u03b242, tau) of plasma NDEVs were similar between groups. Plasma NDEVs quantity remain consistent with aging and between AD and CN individuals. However, the quantity of soluble biomarkers was negatively correlated to NDEVs number in cognitively normal individuals, while in AD patients, this correlation is lost, suggesting a shift in the mechanism underpinning the production and the release of these biomarkers in pathological conditions. Soluble plasma A\u03b242/40 ratio is the most robust biomarker to discriminate between AD patients and CN individuals, as it normalizes for the number of NDEVs. Analysis of NDEVs and their content pointed toward peculiar mechanisms of A\u03b2 release in AD. Further research on independent cohorts can confirm our findings and assess whether plasma A\u03b2 and tau need correction by NDEVs for better AD risk identification in CN populations.",

Signatures of AD include intracellular tau (MAPT) tangles, extracellular amyloid \u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques, and neuroinflammation. A growing body of work indicates that stress and GCs initiate cellular processes underlying these pathologies through dysregulation of protein homeostasis and trafficking, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and response to damage-associated stimuli. In this review, we integrate findings from mechanistic studies in rodent and cellular models, wherein defined chronic stress protocols or GC administration have been shown to elicit AD-related pathology. We specifically discuss the effects of chronic stress and GCs on tau pathogenesis, including hyperphosphorylation, aggregation, and spreading, amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and trafficking culminating in A\u03b2 production, immune priming by proinflammatory cytokines and disease-associated molecular patterns, and alterations to glial cell and blood-brain barrier (BBB) function.",

Abnormal accumulation of amyloid beta (A\u03b2) in the brain is thought to be the main pathological change in Alzheimer's disease. By binding to a variety of ligands, LRP1 is involved in the internalization and degradation of A\u03b2, thereby affecting the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we discuss the main mechanisms by which LRP1 mediates A\u03b2 degradation and clearance and several current therapeutic approaches targeting LRP1. Finally, we concluded that modulating the expression level of LRP1 is an effective way to attenuate A\u03b2 deposition and ameliorate AD.

Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common types of cognitive impairments. Until recently, strategies that prevent its clinical progression have remained elusive. It has been suggested that oxidative stress, mitochondrial injury, and inflammation might lead to brain cell death in many neurological disorders. Therefore, the identification of effective neuroprotective agents is a research priority, and several autophagy-targeted bioactive compounds are promising candidate therapeutics for the prevention of brain cell damage. Some Alzheimer's disease risk genes expressed within the brain are linked to cholesterol metabolism, lipid transport, endocytosis, exocytosis, and/or caveolae formation, suggesting fruitful therapeutic targets for the treatment of cognitive impairments. Among them, a well-known genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease is allelic variation of the Apolipoprotein E (APOE) genes. APOE proteins may regulate aspects of cellular homeostasis, which is perturbed in the brain in Alzheimer's disease. Interestingly, the Apolipoprotein E \u03b54 allele (APOE4) protein is related to autophagy and to the biogenesis of caveolae, endosomes, and exosomes, processes which might consequently be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. Recent research suggests that modification of the diet and/or gut-microbiota could be effective for treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases. Collectively, this research direction has the potential to improve clinical care through disease-modifying treatment strategies with benefits for patients with neurodegenerative diseases.",

Uncertainty about underlying mechanisms hampers diagnostic and therapeutic efforts. This large-scale study aimed to elucidate the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology. To examine the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology and its dependency on age, sex, education, and APOE genotype in older individuals without dementia. Cross-sectional analyses were performed using data from the Amyloid Biomarker Study data pooling initiative. Data from 49 research, population-based, and memory clinic studies were pooled and harmonized. The Amyloid Biomarker Study has been collecting data since 2012 and data collection is ongoing. At the time of analysis, 95 centers were included in the Amyloid Biomarker Study. The study included 9746 individuals with normal cognition (NC) and 3023 participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) aged between 34 and 100 years for whom data on amyloid biomarkers, presence of depressive symptoms, and age were available. Data were analyzed from December 2022 to February 2024. Amyloid-\u03b21-42 levels in cerebrospinal fluid or amyloid positron emission tomography scans were used to determine presence or absence of amyloid pathology. Presence of depressive symptoms was determined on the basis of validated depression rating scale scores, evidence of a current clinical diagnosis of depression, or self-reported depressive symptoms. In individuals with NC (mean [SD] age, 68.6 [8.9] years; 5664 [58.2%] female; 3002 [34.0%] APOE \u03b54 carriers; 937 [9.6%] had depressive symptoms; 2648 [27.2%] had amyloid pathology), the presence of depressive symptoms was not associated with amyloid pathology (odds ratio [OR], 1.13; 95% CI, 0.90-1.40; P\u2009=\u2009.29). In individuals with MCI (mean [SD] age, 70.2 [8.7] years; 1481 [49.0%] female; 1046 [44.8%] APOE \u03b54 carriers; 824 [27.3%] had depressive symptoms; 1668 [55.8%] had amyloid pathology), the presence of depressive symptoms was associated with a lower likelihood of amyloid pathology (OR, 0.73; 95% CI 0.61-0.89; P\u2009=\u2009.001). When considering subgroup effects, in individuals with NC, the presence of depressive symptoms was associated with a higher frequency of amyloid pathology in APOE \u03b54 noncarriers (mean difference, 5.0%; 95% CI 1.0-9.0; P\u2009=\u2009.02) but not in APOE \u03b54 carriers. This was not the case in individuals with MCI. Depressive symptoms were not consistently associated with a higher frequency of amyloid pathology in participants with NC and were associated with a lower likelihood of amyloid pathology in participants with MCI. These findings were not influenced by age, sex, or education level. Mechanisms other than amyloid accumulation may commonly underlie depressive symptoms in late life.",

To provide prevalence estimates of any, no more than 4, or fewer than 2 CMBs in association with amyloid status, APOE \u03b54 copy number, and age. This cross-sectional study used data included in the Amyloid Biomarker Study data pooling initiative (January 1, 2012, to the present [data collection is ongoing]). Data from 15 research and memory clinic studies were pooled and harmonized. Participants included individuals for whom data on age, cognitive status, amyloid status, and presence of CMBs were available. Data were analyzed from October 22, 2023, to April 26, 2024. The main outcomes were age, cognitive status, amyloid status and presence, location, and number of CMBs. Presence of amyloid pathology was determined based on 42 amino acid-long form of amyloid-\u03b2 peptide (A\u03b242) levels in cerebrospinal fluid or on amyloid-positron emission tomography. Presence and, in a subset, location (lobar vs deep) and number of CMBs were determined on magnetic resonance imaging (locally with visual rating). Among 4080 participants included in the analysis, the mean (SD) age was 66.5 (8.9) years, and 2241 (54.9%) were female. A total of 2973 participants had no cognitive impairment (cognitive unimpairment [CU]), and 1107 had mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or AD dementia (ADD). One thousand five hundred and thirteen participants (37.1%) had amyloid pathology, 1368 of 3599 (38.0%) with data available were APOE \u03b54 carriers, and 648 (15.9%) had CMBs.

Individuals with CKD, and particularly kidney failure, experience higher rates of cognitive impairment (20%-70%) compared with the general population. The highest prevalence is described in kidney failure such that dialysis-dependent patients have twice the prevalence of age-matched controls. In the past 5 years, the number of investigations examining the \"kidney-brain axis,\" mechanisms of CKD-related cognitive impairment, and potential therapeutics have exponentially increased. This review article summarizes recent literature on direct and indirect effects of CKD-associated cognitive impairment with emphasis on uremic toxins; brain injury mechanisms; overlap between CKD-associated cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Reviewed therapeutic interventions include AST-120 (indoxyl sulfate absorbent), CH-223191 (aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist), triarylmethane-34 (Kca3.1-specific inhibitor), anakinra (IL-1R inhibitor), marimastat, exercise, supplements, and kidney transplantation. Special focus is placed on translational studies examining uremic toxin-associated pathogenic processes, including brain oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain barrier dysfunction through in vitro and in vivo models of CKD-associated brain injury. Finally, future research directions are suggested, including targeting of cellular senescence abundance with senotherapeutics and capitalizing on anti-inflammatory effects of regenerative, cell-based therapeutics ( e.g ., mesenchymal stem cells and extracellular vesicles), and use of aged murine models. Collectively, CKD-associated cognitive impairment represents a prevalent condition for which remaining knowledge gaps exist, and scientific advancements are needed to preserve cognitive function and improve the lives of individuals with CKD.",

In this study, we obtained data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and characterized the single-cell profiles of CRC, mCRC and healthy samples at single-cell resolution, and explored the cells that influence CRC metastasis. We find that AQP1+ CRC identified as highly malignant tumor cells exhibited proliferative and metastatic characteristics. Immunosuppressive properties are present in the tumor microenvironment (TME), while NOTCH3+ Fib is identified to play a facilitating role in the metastatic colonization of CRC. Importantly, we reveal that tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) characterized by SPP1-specific high expression may be involved in TME remodeling through intercellular communication. Specifically, SPP1+ TAM mediates the generation of Fib-derived extracellular vesicle through the APOE-LRP1 axis, which in turn delivers tumor growth-promoting factors in the TME. This study deepens the understanding of the mechanism of TME in mCRC and lays the scientific foundation for the development of therapeutic regimens for mCRC patients.",

Neuroglial neuroprotection defines the resilience of the nervous tissue to exo- and endogenous pathological challenges, while neuroglial defence determines the progression and outcome of neurological disorders. IN this paper, we overview previously unknown but recently discovered roles of various types of neuroglial cells in diverse physiological and pathological processes. First, we describe the role of ependymal glia in the regulation of cerebrospinal fluid flow from the spinal cord to peripheral tissues through the spinal nerves. This newly discovered pathway provides a highway for the CNS-body volume transmission. Next, we present the mechanism by which astrocytes control migration and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). In pre- and early postnatal CNS, OPCs migrate using vasculature (which is yet free from glia limitans perivascularis) as a pathfinder. Newly forming astrocytic perivascular endfeet signal (through semaphorin-plexin cascade) to OPCs that detach from the vessels and start to differentiate into myelinating oligodendrocytes. We continue the astrocyte theme by demonstrating the neuroprotective role of APOE-laden astrocytic extracellular vesicles in neuromyelitis optica. Next, we explore the link between astrocytic morphology and stress-induced depression. We discuss the critical role of astrocytic ezrin, the cytosolic linker defining terminal astrocyte arborisation and resilience to stress: overexpression of ezrin in prefrontal cortical astrocytes makes mice resistant to stress, whereas ezrin knockdown increases animals vulnerability to stress. Subsequently, we highlight the pathophysiological role of oligodendroglial lineage in schizophrenia by describing novel hypertrophied OPCs in the post-mortem patient's tissue and in a mouse model with OPCs overexpressing alternative splice variant DISC1-\u03943. These DISC1-\u03943-OPCs demonstrated overactivated Wnt/\u03b2-catenin signalling pathway and were sufficient to trigger pathological behaviours. Finally, we deliberate on the pathological role of astrocytic and microglial connexin 43 hemichannels in Alzheimer's disease and present a new formula of Cx43 hemichannel inhibitor with increased blood-brain barrier penetration and brain retention.",

However, how APOE \u03b54 allele, a key genetic risk factor for AD, may change BDEV molecular structures thereby facilitate disease progression is poorly understood. Here we report comprehensive analyses of BDEVs isolated from human E3/3 and E4/4 AD brains with a biological multi-omics approach. E4/4 BDEVs significantly enhanced tau propagation in aged human MAPT (Tau) knock-in and APP NL-G-F: Tau double knock-in mouse brains in vivo and increased neuronal uptake and excitability in induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons (iNeurons) compared to E3/3 BDEVs in vitro. Notably, correlation analysis of BDEV-lipidome and proteome exhibited synergistic enrichment in unsaturated free fatty acid (FFA)18:2, a precursor of inflammatory w6 FFA, and neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1). Treatment of iNeurons with FFA 18:2 induces NCAM1 expression, recruits tau into EVs and enhance their tau seeding activity, which is blocked by NCAM1 antibody in vitro. Finally, intracerebroventricular injection of NCAM1 antibody significantly alleviated pathological tau accumulation and glial inflammation in PS19 tauopathy mouse brains, which had previously been reported to exhibit increased level of 18:2 FFA. This highlights novel pathological mechanism in tau transfer mediated by E4/4 BDEVs and emphasizes strong therapeutic potential of targeting EV molecules in AD progression.",

Leveraging plasma neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), we sought to identify biomarkers of cognitive resilience and their interplay with APOE genotype. In this case-control study nested within the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), we analyzed 1130 plasma samples from 676 women in the WHI Memory Study (WHIMS)/Long Life Study (LLS), with APOE \u03b54 or \u03b53/\u03b53 genotypes. At baseline, all participants were cognitively intact and at LLS visit, 13-17\u2009years later, were classified as still cognitively intact (resilient) or having become impaired at age >\u200980 or \u2264\u200980\u2009years. We isolated NDEVs using immunoaffinity capture for the neuronal marker L1CAM and quantified AD pathogenic proteins (A\u03b242, total Tau, p181-Tau), insulin signaling (pSer312-IRS-1), TNFR1/NF\u03baB pathway mediators and targets, and mitochondrial Complex V. Linear mixed models assessed group differences, adjusting for NDEV yield, age, and education, with FDR correction. No group differences were found for A\u03b242, Tau proteins, or pS312-IRS-1. Resilient \u03b54 carriers had higher baseline levels of phosphorylated TNFR1, NF\u03baB, c-Myc, and FADD than \u03b54 carriers who eventually developed impairment at >\u200980 or \u2264\u200980\u2009years. Additionally, resilient \u03b54 carriers had higher baseline Complex V levels than \u03b54 carriers impaired at age >\u200980.

Studies selected (1) involved clinical research investigating genetic factors or biomarkers associated with dementia or osteoporosis, and (2) were published in English in a peer-reviewed journal between July 1993 and March 2025. We searched Medline Ovid, Embase, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, the Web of Science databases, Google Scholar, and the reference lists of studies following the guidelines for Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Twenty-three studies were included in this review. These explored the role of the APOE polymorphism (n = 2) and the APOE4 allele (n = 13), associations between TREM2 mutation and late onset AD (n = 1), and associations between amyloid beta and bone remodeling (n = 1); bone-related biomarkers like DKK1, OPG, and TRAIL as predictors of cognitive change (n = 2); extracellular vesicles as bone-brain communication pathways (1); and the role of dementia-related genes (n = 1), AD-related CSF biomarkers (n = 1), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) (n = 1) in osteoporosis-dementia pathophysiology. Bone-related biomarkers active in the Wnt/\u03b2-Catenin pathway (Dkk1 and sclerostin) and the RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway (OPG/TRAIL ratio) present consistent evidence of involvement in AD and osteoporosis development. Reports proposing APOE4 as a causal genetic link for both osteoporosis and AD in women are not corroborated by newer observational studies.

Inflammatory microglia alter neuronal excitability, inducing metabolic strain. Interestingly, expression of APOE4, the strongest genetic risk factor for AD, affects both microglial activation and neuronal excitability, highlighting the interplay between lipid metabolism, inflammation, and neuronal function. It remains unclear how microglial inflammatory state is conveyed to neurons to affect circuit function and whether APOE4 expression alters this intercellular communication. Here, we use a reductionist model of human iPSC-derived microglial and neuronal monocultures to dissect how the APOE genotype in each cell-type independently contributes to microglial regulation of neuronal activity during inflammation. Conditioned media (CM) from LPS-stimulated microglia increased neuronal network activity, assessed by calcium imaging, with APOE4 microglial CM driving higher neuronal firing rates than APOE3 CM.

This review will explore four main objectives: (a) the role of biomarkers in enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of AD, highlighting the major strides that have been made in recent years; (b) the role of neuropsychological testing in identifying biomarkers of AD, including the relationship between cognitive performance and neuroimaging biomarkers; (c) the amyloid hypothesis and possible molecular mechanisms of AD; and (d) the innovative AD therapeutics and the challenges and limitations of AD research. Materials and Methods: We have searched PubMed and Scopus databases for peer-reviewed research articles published in English (preclinical and clinical studies as well as relevant reviews and meta-analyses) investigating the molecular mechanisms, biomarkers, and treatments of AD. Results: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) discovered 37 loci associated with AD risk. Core 1 biomarkers (\u03b1-amyloid A\u03b242, phosphorylated tau, and amyloid PET) detect early AD phases, identifying both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals, while core 2 biomarkers inform the short-term progression risk in individuals without symptoms. The recurrent failures of A\u03b2-targeted clinical studies undermine the amyloid cascade hypothesis and the objectives of AD medication development. The molecular mechanisms of AD include the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau protein, vascular dysfunction, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism dysregulation. Significant advancements in drug delivery technologies, such as focused Low-Ultrasound Stem, T cells, exosomes, nanoparticles, transferin, nicotinic and acetylcholine receptors, and glutathione transporters, are aimed at overcoming the BBB to enhance treatment efficacy for AD. Aducanumab and Lecanemab are IgG1 monoclonal antibodies that retard the progression of AD. BACE inhibitors have been explored as a therapeutic strategy for AD. Gene therapies targeting APOE using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing system are another therapeutic avenue. Conclusions: Classic neurodegenerative biomarkers have emerged as powerful tools for enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of AD. Despite the supporting evidence, the amyloid hypothesis has several unresolved issues. Novel monoclonal antibodies may halt the AD course. Advances in delivery systems across the BBB are promising for the efficacy of AD treatments.",

Inspired by the neuroprotective properties of neural stem cell-derived exosomes (NExo) and the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability of selenium, we develop an advanced NExo bearing ultrasmall nano-selenium (\u223c3.5 nm) via lipid-mediated nucleation (SeNExo). In addition to maintaining the biological components of NExo, the resulting SeNExo exhibits a Se-O bond that dramatically enhances its ROS-scavenging performance. SeNExo penetrates the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via the apolipoprotein E and prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (APOE_LRP-1) interaction. Through proteomics, microRNA (miRNA) omics, and single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we find that SeNExo can alleviate neuronal apoptosis, restore glia homeostasis, and remodel glia-neuron networks. Therefore, SeNExo confers potent therapeutic benefits, significantly reducing cerebral lesions in a murine traumatic brain injury model. Even extending to a murine spinal cord injury model, SeNExo promotes locomotory recovery, further supporting SeNExo as a neotype and a promising therapeutic agent for treating traumatic CNS injury.",

Thirty males of Wistar rats were divided into five groups: 1) control rats (NS); 2) rats supplemented with 3 g/kg of fish oil (NS+FO3); 3)\u00a0rats injected via intraperitoneal (i.p) with Streptozotocin-Lipopolysaccharide (STZ-LPS); 4)\u00a0rats injected with STZ-LPS (i.p) and supplemented with 1 g/kg of fish oil (STZ-LPS+FO1), and 5) rats injected with STZ-LPS (i.p) and supplemented with 3 g/kg of fish oil (STZ-LPS+FO3). The cerebral brain was extracted for examination, and the \u03b1\u03b2 precursor protein (APP) level was measured using an immunoassay kit, while \u03b1\u03b2 42 expression was evaluated using immunohistochemistry staining. Brain amyloidosis-related genes were quantified using real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The results revealed that fish oil supplementation significantly increased APP levels and reduced \u03b1\u03b2 42 accumulations in STZ-LPS rats. Moreover, the Apolipoprotein E, \u03b54 isoform (ApoE-4) and Beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1 (Bace-1) genes were downregulated while the Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (Lrp-1) gene was upregulated in STZ-LPS rats treated with fish oil, thereby elucidating the impact of fish oil on diminishing \u03b1\u03b2 buildup in the brain. Therefore, this study contributes to a growing body of evidence supporting dietary interventions as adjunctive strategies for the prevention or delay of Alzheimer's disease progression in metabolic dysfunction.",

In this study, the impact of drug characteristics, particularly lipophilicity, was evaluated to achieve a stable incorporation of model drugs into these lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs). This study explored the lipophilicity of flurbiprofen, a potential drug in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and its prodrug flurbiprofenaxetil across varying pH levels. Our findings highlight how flurbiprofen's lipophilicity was influenced by its protonation state, affecting its incorporation into LNPs and consequently its release behaviour under physiological conditions, while flurbiprofenaxetil showed minimal variations due to its chemical structure. We also investigated the interaction between lipoprotein mimicking nanoparticles and primary porcine brain capillary endothelial cells to improve drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Permeation studies indicated that modification with ApoE enhanced the bidirectional permeability of LNPs across the BBB through receptor-mediated transcytosis. Furthermore, we demonstrated and identified the uptake mechanism involving the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), allowing these LNPs to be recognized by the same receptors as endogenous lipoproteins. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of ApoE modified LNPs as a promising strategy for targeted drug delivery to the brain.",

The aim of this study was to map the distributions of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) and other synaptic proteins in the brain and the brain-derived extracellular vesicles (BDEVs) of AD patients, analyze their associations with A\u03b2, tau, and the apolipoprotein E (APOE) \u03b54 allele, and investigate the biological role of SV2A. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of BDEVs and immunohistochemistry staining were conducted on postmortem brain samples from 57 AD patients and 48 nondemented controls. The levels of SV2A, synaptophysin (SYP), and other synaptic proteins in the brain tissues and the BDEVs, and their associations with A\u03b2, tau (phospho-tau and Braak stages), other proteins and the APOE \u03b54 allele, were analyzed. SV2A levels were significantly lower in AD patients than in nondemented controls, particularly in the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. APOE \u03b54 carriers presented further reductions in SV2A levels compared with noncarriers. The SV2A levels in BDEVs and brain tissues were positively correlated with SYP levels and negatively correlated with A\u03b2 and phospho-tau levels. Reductions in SV2A were associated with decreased levels of other synaptic proteins, such as synaptotagmins, GAP43, and SNAP25. SV2A emerged as a central hub with interactions with proteins from subnetworks related to synaptic vesicle formation and fusion. SV2A levels in brain tissues and BDEVs are reduced in AD patients, particularly in those carrying the APOE \u03b54 allele, and are correlated with A\u03b2 and tau pathologies. SV2A may serve as a valuable biomarker for monitoring synaptic dysfunction and progression in AD.",

Early diagnosis is challenging due to the lack of definitive biomarkers and reliance on invasive procedures. Immune biomarkers, particularly those reflecting the interaction between the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral immune system, have shown promise for non-invasive detection through blood samples. This study investigates the reactivity of serum IgM and IgG from AD and FTD patients against a library of mimotopes representing public IgM reactivities in healthy donors. Serum samples from AD, FTD, and other neurodegenerative dementias (ND) and controls were tested on peptide microarrays. The samples were pooled to mitigate individual variability. The reactivity data were analyzed using graphs to represent the cross-reactivity networks. The analysis revealed distinct reactivity patterns for the studied groups. Public IgM reactivities showed significant correlations with neurodegenerative conditions, with AD and FTD exhibiting loss or gain of specific IgM reactivities. Graph analysis highlighted significant differences between disease and control groups in graph density, clustering, and assortativity parameters. Mimotopes of IgM reactivities lost in dementia, particularly in AD, exhibited significant homology to HCDR3 sequences of human antibodies. Furthermore, clusters of reactivities showed significant distinctions between AD and FTD, with IgG reactivities providing additional differentiation. Several self-proteins related to neurodegeneration proved to have sequences homologous to disease-associated mimotopes. Interestingly, the beta-propeller signature sequence YWTD found in ApoE's receptor LRP1 proved a characteristic epitope for IgG in FTD but not AD. At the same time, the respective public gM mimotope YWTDSSR coincides with a highly conserved sequence in many microorganisms and sequences found in human HCDR3. Thus, the public IgM repertoire, characterized by its broad reactivity and inherent autoreactivity, offers valuable insights into the immunological alterations in neurodegenerative diseases. The study supports the potential of IgM and IgG reactivity profiles as another compartment of non-invasive biomarkers for early diagnosis and differentiating AD and FTD.",

While animal-derived EVs are well studied, plant-derived EVs (plant-EVs) are emerging as stable, low-immunogenic nanocarriers with therapeutic potential. Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco, used in traditional medicine, contains neuroactive compounds. This study evaluated the effects of P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs in rodent models of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. EVs were isolated by differential ultracentrifugation, characterized by electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis, and their bioactive components identified by GC -MS. Uptake was assessed in PC12 cells. Behavioral and biochemical effects were tested in mice subjected to chronic restraint stress (CRS), chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and para-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA)-induced insomnia. Key outcomes included social interaction, sucrose preference, Morris water maze performance, sleep parameters, neurotransmitter levels (5-HT, GABA), and inflammatory markers. P. orientalis EVs exhibited bilayer vesicle morphology (\u223c100 nm) and contained abundant volatile compounds, particularly \u03b1-pinene. They were internalized by PC12 cells and reduced corticosterone-induced injury. In vivo, intranasal EV administration alleviated anxiety-like behaviors in CRS mice, restored sucrose preference and cognition in CUMS mice, and improved sleep onset and duration in PCPA-induced insomnia. Across models, EVs normalized serum and hippocampal 5-HT and GABA levels, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6), and increased TGF-\u03b2 expression. P. orientalis leaf-derived EVs exert significant anxiolytic, antidepressant, and soporific effects through multimodal mechanisms involving neurotransmitter regulation and anti-inflammatory activity. Intranasal administration offers an effective strategy to bypass the blood -brain barrier, supporting the translational potential of plant-EVs as novel therapeutics for psychiatric disorders.",

OL loss is characterized by inflammation, immune cell activity, and a failure of remyelination due to oligodendrocyte dysfunction and death, ultimately leading to demyelination and axonal damage. Given their central role in maintaining CNS integrity, therapeutic strategies aimed at protecting or restoring OL function are essential. Moreover, the limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier to many therapeutic compounds remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for innovative delivery approaches. Among these, the intranasal (IN) route has emerged as a promising noninvasive strategy for targeting the CNS. Within this therapeutic framework, Transferrin (Tf), a glycoprotein involved in iron homeostasis, has been shown to promote both developmental myelination and remyelination by redistributing and delivering iron, an essential cofactor for OL maturation and oxidative metabolism. In parallel, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained increasing attention as mediators of intercellular communication and potential drug delivery vehicles to the brain, offering advantages such as minimal immunogenicity, efficient cellular uptake, and cargo protection from degradation. In this review, the potential of EVs as biological carriers of molecules to promote remyelination is discussed, with a particular focus on Tf delivered via the intranasal route, as well as the cellular mechanisms underlying this internalization.",

However, the regulatory role of MSCs in inflammatory atherosclerosis and the molecular mechanisms underlying their anti-inflammatory properties have largely remained elusive. Differential ultracentrifugation was performed to isolate extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs). An ApoE knockout atherosclerotic animal model was employed to investigate the regulatory effect of MenSC-EVs on inflammatory atherosclerosis. miRNA microarray screening analyses were conducted to identify potential effectors in MenSC-EVs that play a key role in the suppression of atherosclerosis mediated by the EVs. We demonstrated the remarkable potential of MenSC-EVs in alleviating atherosclerosis through the NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. miR-574-5p serves as a crucial effector molecule transported by MenSC-EVs, suppressing endothelial inflammation and promoting nitric oxide production. This regulation contributes to the attenuation of atherosclerosis by regulating the abundance of c-Rel. The miR-574-5p/c-Rel axis shows significant clinical relevance to atherosclerosis. This study reveals that the engineering of EVs derived from MenSCs holds significant promise as a strategic clinical approach for addressing inflammatory atherosclerosis.",

Phloroglucinol, a polyphenolic antioxidant, has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in PD models but suffers from limited clinical applicability due to poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) derived from dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) exhibit neuroprotective and immunomodulatory properties and serve as promising vehicles for targeted drug delivery across the BBB. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intranasally administered sEV-encased phloroglucinol (sEV-Phl) in a chronic MPTP rat model of PD. DPSC-derived sEV were isolated via density gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic-Light-Scattering (DLS), and CD marker expression. Phloroglucinol was encased in sEV (sEV-Phl) using sonication. Antioxidant properties were tested in vitro using an H2DCF.DA assay in SH-SY5Y cells exposed to 6-OHDA. Chronic MPTP-treated male Wistar rats received intranasal sEV-Phl, with motor and non-motor behaviours evaluated up to 4-weeks post-MPTP treatment. TH-positive neurons, neurogenesis (Ki67, BrdU and FOXA2), lipid-peroxidation, and neurotransmitter-levels were analyzed. sEV biodistribution was tracked via near-infrared imaging and localization in neuronal and glial cells was confirmed with PKH-26 labelling, with confocal-imaging further verifying localization in neuronal and glial cells. TNF-\u03b1 expression was assessed as a marker of neuroinflammation. sEV displayed high purity and homogeneity. sEV-Phl significantly reduced oxidative stress both in vitro and in vivo, as indicated by decreased ROS and lipid peroxidation levels. sEV-Phl treated MPTP rats demonstrated marked improvement in motor and non-motor behaviours compared to MPTP rats. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed increased TH-positive neurons and enhanced neurogenesis in the SNpc of sEV-Phl-treated animals. Biodistribution studies confirmed efficient midbrain targeting of sEV, which were localized to dopaminergic-neurons, astrocytes and microglia. sEV-Phl also significantly reduced TNF-\u03b1 expression, indicating decreased neuroinflammation. This study provides the first instance of using DPSC-derived sEV as a delivery vehicle for phloroglucinol in a PD model. sEV-Phl demonstrated significant neuroprotective-effects, enhanced DA-neuron survival and neurogenesis, and reduced neuroinflammation. Intranasal delivery of sEV-Phl represents a promising non-invasive therapeutic strategy for PD, offering a dual benefit of antioxidative and neurogenic support.",

Recent research underscores the significance of lipoproteins and the gut microbiota in the etiology of AD. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), particularly the E4 subtype, emerges as a key genetic risk factor, influencing oxidative stress, synaptic defects, glucose metabolism, and amyloid-\u03b2 clearance. Lipoprotein receptors, such as LRP-1, also influence the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, indicating potential for therapeutic applications. Novel therapies targeting lipoproteins, such as ALZ-801 and IDOL inhibitors, show promise in preclinical and clinical trials. Concurrently, the gut microbiome's impact on AD is increasingly recognized. Dysbiosis correlates with inflammation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and neurotransmitter imbalances. Gut-derived metabolites, including phenylalanine and isoleucine, promote Th1 cell activation and microglial dysfunction, exacerbating AD pathology. Interventions, like probiotics, GV-971, and polyphenols, demonstrate efficacy in restoring microbial balance and mitigating cognitive decline. Crucially, bidirectional interactions between lipoproteins and the gut microbiome are implicated in AD. ApoE genotypes influence gut microbial composition, while microbiota- derived short-chain fatty acids and endotoxins modulate lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation. These interactions, mediated via the gut-brain axis, highlight novel therapeutic avenues. Current FDA-approved AD drugs face limitations in efficacy and side effects, underscoring the need for innovative strategies targeting lipoprotein-gut microbiome crosstalk. Integrating insights into lipoprotein biology and gut microbiota dynamics may offer transformative potential for AD treatment, emphasizing combinatorial approaches to modulate these interconnected pathways. Further research is warranted to elucidate mechanistic links and translate preclinical findings into clinical applications.",

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

Glycogen synthase kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK3\u03b2), a key regulator in the pathological process of AD, exacerbates neuronal damage by phosphorylating tau proteins and promoting A\u03b2 production. The activity of GSK3\u03b2 is modulated by multiple signaling cascades, including the PI3K/AKT and Wnt/\u03b2-catenin transduction pathways. Furthermore, Apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (ApoE4) has been identified as a major genetic risk factor for increased susceptibility to AD. ApoE4 aggravates lipid metabolism disorders by interfering with LRP1 receptor function, inhibiting insulin signaling, and promoting the release of inflammatory factors (IL-6, TNF-\u03b1) and GSK3\u03b2. Specifically, ApoE4 may intensify the pathological process of AD by interacting with GSK3\u03b2, altering the balance of lipid metabolism in the body, regulating GSK3\u03b2 activity, and modulating neuroinflammatory responses. This article systematically reviews the synergistic mechanisms of ApoE4 and GSK3\u03b2 in AD and provides a new theoretical basis and potential intervention strategies for early diagnosis and targeted therapy of AD.",

The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of applying molecular biology methods to test polymorphisms recognized in the global literature as potentially useful in assessing the risk of developing dementia in a group of patients with hyperlipidemia. A sample of 203 patients: 109 diagnosed with both dementia and hyperlipidemia, 94 with hyperlipidemia, and 101 individuals as an allele frequency control group-were genotyped. Additional data about cognitive decline and neuropsychological assessment were collected. Among all the studied polymorphisms, the frequency of the ABCA1 rs2230806 polymorphism differed between the analyzed groups. The GG genotype (p = 0.0002, RR = 3.22, CI = 1.63 \u00f7 6.37) and the G allele (p = 0.0007, RR = 1.53, CI = 1.19 \u00f7 1.97) were more frequent in patients diagnosed with dementia, specifically in those with Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, the GG genotype was more common in individuals with a shorter disease duration and lower scores on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, and consequently, with greater cognitive function deficits during early stages of the diagnostic process. ABCA1 rs2230806 genotyping is a potential marker for the early identification of dementia risk in patients with hyperlipidemia, which supports the validity of exploring options for incorporating diagnostics based on molecular biology methods.",

EVs@IN significantly enhanced nasal mucosal retention and facilitated targeted transport of EVs to the hippocampus via olfactory pathways, while minimizing pulmonary exposure and clearance. In mouse models of depression (LPS-induced and CUMS), intranasal EVs@IN elicited rapid and potent alleviation of depressive- and anxiety-like behaviours. Mechanistically, EVs modulated astrocyte phenotypic transformation, reducing the release of neurotoxic complement C3 and suppressing neuroinflammation. Concurrently, they activated the Nrf2-Pgc-1\u03b1 pathway, enhanced antioxidant defences (elevated SOD and GSH), mitigated oxidative stress and restored synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Furthermore, we demonstrated the capacity of EVs to serve as efficient drug carriers for brain delivery. EVs@IN exhibited excellent long-term biocompatibility in vivo.

However, the mechanisms by which APOEe4 drives distinct molecular changes - whether by exacerbating pathology or triggering compensatory responses - remain incompletely understood. We generated and analyzed proteomic, epigenetic, and genetic data from post-mortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex samples of a uniquely APOEe4-enriched subset of the Religious Orders Study and Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP). Specifically, we generated DIA LC-MS proteomic data (n = 302), analyzed previously generated DNA methylation profiles from our group (n = 310), and used published whole-genome sequencing data (n = 254) to compute polygenic risk scores (PRS). In this cohort, 69% (n = 214) were APOEe4 carriers, and 19.6% (n = 42) of them showed no pathological evidence of AD based on NIA-Reagan criteria, enabling identification of APOEe4-related risk and resilience mechanisms. In the absence of AD, APOEe4 carriers exhibited lower levels of 27 proteins, suggesting early synaptic (e.g., VAMP1, SYN3, CASKIN1) and metabolic (e.g., GLUD1, PI4KA) vulnerability. By contrast, APOEe4 carriers with AD displayed marked upregulation of inflammatory and proteostatic proteins (e.g., GNAO1, AHNAK, FGG, HEBP1, APEX1, RAB4A, SLC12A5, LRP1, BAG6) and hypermethylation of cg06329447 in ELAVL4. Network analyses highlighted convergent disruptions in synaptic transmission, metabolism, and proteostasis - key pathways altered in APOEe4-associated AD. Mediation analyses identified GRIPAP1 and GSTK1 as top protein mediators (accounting for ~26-33% of APOEe4's effect), with VAMP1, CASKIN1, DPP3, SYN3, and FGG each contributing ~9-15%. ELAVL4 hypermethylation also mediated ~12% of the APOEe4 effect, linking epigenetic dysregulation to disease risk. To assess whether the identified proteins reflected broader genetic risk for AD or were specific to APOEe4, we calculated PRS both excluding and including the APOE genomic region. While the non-APOE PRS showed no association with identified molecular markers, the APOE-inclusive PRS was significantly associated with eight AD-related proteins in carriers, indicating they are not explained by polygenic risk outside of APOE. Finally, predictive modeling stratified by APOEe4 status revealed that in non-carriers, PRS most effectively classified AD (AUC = 0.73), whereas in carriers, proteomic and epigenetic markers outperformed PRS (AUC up to 0.74). Together, these findings demonstrate that APOEe4 confers AD risk through early synaptic and metabolic disruptions and later-stage inflammatory and epigenetic changes, laying the groundwork for genotype-tailored biomarker development and therapeutic strategies.",

Conventional drug delivery methods not only show limited therapeutic efficacy but also cause significant side effects. Intranasal administration offers a new strategy for CNS therapy by bypassing the BBB through the unique nasal-brain pathway, while nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs) can improve drug delivery efficiency. On this basis, biomimetic drug delivery systems (BDDSs) based on cell membrane structure have been developed. The combination of nanoparticles modified by cell membranes or cell membrane-derived vesicles with carriers such as hydrogels creates a drug delivery system that utilizes a unique transnasal-to-brain pathway, opening new avenues for treating CNS disorders. This paper systematically reviews the classification, characteristics, and preparation strategies of BDDSs, while analyzing the anatomical pathways and physiological mechanisms of nasal-cerebral delivery. Furthermore, it delves into the biogenesis mechanisms of extracellular vesicles (EVs) and bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs).

Detection of AD-related changes via blood-based biomarkers would enable critical therapeutic interventions early in disease progression. Neuronal enriched extracellular vesicle (NEEV) miRNAs regulate peripheral genes as a response to early AD brain changes and hence may have biomarker potential. Plasma NEEVs were captured from plasma samples of Mexican Americans (MAs) and Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) using an antibody against the neuronal surface marker CD171. miRNAs isolated from NEEVs were sequenced and analyzed using miRDeep2/DEseq2 and QIAGEN RNA-seq portal for differential expression between cognitively impaired (CI) and cognitively unimpaired controls. hsa-miR-122-5p was significantly underrepresented in the CI group in both MAs and NHWs compared to the healthy control.

Moreover, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) severely restricts drug penetration into the injured brain, limiting the translation of promising neuroprotective agents into clinical success. Intranasal (IN) delivery has emerged as a compelling alternative route that bypasses the BBB and enables rapid access to the central nervous system through olfactory, trigeminal, and perivascular pathways. This narrative review highlights recent advances in preclinical research on IN therapeutics for ischemic stroke, ranging from small molecules and biologics to nucleic acids and cell-based therapies. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of nanotechnology, including extracellular vesicles, liposomes, and inorganic nanoparticles, which enhance drug stability, targeting, and bioavailability. Studies demonstrate that IN delivery of growth factors, cytokines, and engineered stem cells can promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis, white matter repair, and functional recovery, while nanocarriers further expand the therapeutic potential. Overall, intranasal delivery represents a promising and non-invasive strategy to overcome the limitations of conventional stroke therapies, offering new avenues for neuroprotection and regeneration that warrant further investigation toward clinical translation.",
        "41310241": "ID: 41310241\nTitle: Advances in Intranasal Delivery of Exosomes for Central Nervous System Disorders.\nAbstract: Central nervous system disorders are major global health challenges that contribute to significant morbidity and mortality. Traditional therapeutic strategies often face substantial limitations, primarily due to the blood-brain barrier, which restricts the delivery of pharmacological agents to the brain and consequently affects treatment effectiveness. In recent years, in order to enhance the efficacy of the central nervous system treatments, exosome-based approaches have gained interest. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles (30-150 nm) secreted by cells, present a feasible therapeutic strategy due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and transport bioactive molecules. Reflecting the traits of their parent cells (e.g., glioma stem cells and glioblastoma multiforme), exosomes can be isolated from body fluids, which enhances their clinical applicability. Additionally, intranasal delivery provides a non-invasive method to administer exosomes, using the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways to bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly target the brain. This method shows great promise in enhancing therapeutic efficacy for CNS disorders. However, challenges such as rapid mucociliary clearance, enzymatic degradation, and limited bioavailability reduce efficacy. Advances in exosome engineering, nanocarrier systems, and novel delivery devices are under investigation to mitigate these constraints. However, clinical translation requires further research to guarantee safety, consistency, and scalability. In this context, intranasal exosome delivery holds considerable promise as a non-invasive strategy for central nervous system disorder treatment, contingent on overcoming the current biological and technical barriers.",

Their pathophysiology is often multifaceted, encompassing protein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic neuroinflammation, synaptic degeneration, and vascular compromise. This complex landscape reduces the effectiveness of single-target pharmacological agents and underscores the need for therapies capable of acting across multiple axes. Orthobiologics and peptide-based strategies exemplify this approach. Autologous cellular alternatives such as platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow aspirates, mesenchymal stromal cell derivatives, and extracellular vesicles deliver paracrine signals that can reprogram glia, preserve mitochondrial function, and promote synaptic and vascular repair. Peptide therapeutics, including glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and novel sequences targeting protein aggregation or mitochondrial pathways, provide complementary precision by engaging defined receptors and intracellular cascades. Together, these modalities converge on mechanisms central to circuit preservation rather than symptomatic relief alone. Preclinical studies across Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease demonstrate consistent neuroprotective and functional benefits, and early human trials support feasibility and safety. The translational path forward requires standardized preparation, biomarker integration, optimized delivery routes such as intranasal administration, and regulatory frameworks adapted to biologic therapies. This review synthesizes current evidence on orthobiologics and peptides in neurodegeneration, outlines safety and translational considerations, and highlights future directions, including rational combinations and biomarker-driven trials. By uniting the broad signaling capacity of orthobiologics with the precision of peptides, neurology can move beyond symptomatic care toward regenerative strategies that aim to preserve neural circuits and improve long-term outcomes in Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.",

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

Microglia-like cells (MGCs) can be differentiated from iPSCs, while the characteristics of isogenic MGC-containing brain organoids in modeling neurodegeneration and cell-cell communications have not been well investigated. In this study, iPSC-derived MGCs are co-cultured with isogenic forebrain cortical organoids (iFCo), which are stimulated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) of brain organoids differentiated from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patient-derived iPSCs (APOE \u03b54/\u03b54 and presenilin 1). The AD EV-stimulated co-culture organoids are treated with EVs from healthy MGCs or co-culture. Differential responses of the co-cultured organoids and the MGCs to AD EVs are demonstrated. The co-cultured organoids mitigated pro-inflammatory gene expressions. EVs from healthy MGCs or co-culture reduced the expression of IL-12\u03b2, iNOS, TREM2, and CASS4, which are associated with neural inflammation and degeneration, as well as showed regulation on genes involved in microglial activation and carbon metabolism. AD EV cargo analysis by proteomics and microRNA-sequencing revealed APOE and APP proteins and microRNAs regulated pathways such as mitophagy. This study paves the way for understanding the role of microglia and brain organoids in modeling neural degeneration and the development of EV-based cell-free therapeutics for AD treatment.",

While elevated CHI3L1 levels have been observed in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, its expression at the transcript level in peripheral blood - and modulation by genetic risk factors such as APOE \u03b54 - remains poorly understood. We analyzed peripheral blood CHI3L1 mRNA expression in a well-characterized cohort comprising individuals with biomarker-confirmed AD (n\u202f=\u202f34), mild cognitive impairment (MCI; n\u202f=\u202f31), and cognitively healthy controls (HC; n\u202f=\u202f21). CHI3L1 expression levels were compared across diagnostic groups and stratified by APOE \u03b54 status, age at onset (early-onset < 65\u202fyears; late-onset \u2265 65), and sex. Correlations were examined between CHI3L1 and inflammatory gene transcripts (IL1B, TNF, MMP9, LRP1, and TREM2). Peripheral CHI3L1 expression was elevated in individuals with early-onset AD (EOAD), particularly among APOE \u03b54 carriers (EOAD APOE \u03b54+, n\u202f=\u202f13 vs. EOAD APOE \u03b54-, n\u202f=\u202f8; p\u202f=\u202f0.026). Stratified analyses revealed an exploratory association between CHI3L1 expression, APOE genotype, and sex, with the highest levels observed in female \u03b54 carriers with EOAD. Across diagnostic groups, CHI3L1 levels positively correlated with transcripts of IL1B, MMP9, and LRP1, with the strongest associations again in APOE \u03b54\u202f+\u202findividuals. Notably, these effects were more pronounced in the MCI and AD groups than in healthy controls, indicating early immune activation in at-risk individuals. Our exploratory findings indicate that peripheral CHI3L1 expression may reflect APOE \u03b54-linked immune activity, with a trend toward higher expression in EOAD and in female \u03b54 carriers. The observed genotype- and sex-dependent expression patterns indicate preliminary differences in peripheral immune activity that warrant replication in larger cohorts. Peripheral CHI3L1 may thus serve as a hypothesis-generating marker of genotype-linked inflammatory phenotypes rather than a validated biomarker.",

Moreover, the discovery of novel drugs for glioblastoma has been limited hence drug repurposing has gained traction leveraging existing drugs like itraconazole. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have potential as a natural pharmaceutical delivery system owing to their therapeutic capabilities. These PDEVs may be a good candidate for blood-brain barrier permeation due to their biomolecular composition and high drug loading efficiency of itraconazole. In this work, PDEVs isolated from aloe aborescens (aloe), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Nigella sativa seeds [black cumin seeds (BCS)] were compared in terms of their physicochemical properties, drug release kinetics, cytotoxicity, cellular uptake in glioblastoma cells and BBB permeability. Results All PDEVs displayed nanoscale sizes ranging from 103.5 to 141\u00a0nm with negative surface charge and a spherical morphological shape observed via SEM. The drug release kinetics was assessed using different mathematical models depicting the PDEVs prolonged drug release with <\u200950% releasing over 21 days. The cytotoxicity studies showed that the PDEVs resulted in a higher cell viability in the non-cancerous cell line compared to A172 glioblastoma cell line. The cellular internalization of the drug showed poor uptake of blank PDEVs compared to loaded PDEVs in glioblastoma cells. The BBB permeability test showed that ginger and aloe EVs permeated the BBB whilst BCS blank and loaded EVs did not permeate the BBB. Conclusions This delivery system improves the ability of plant-derived extracellular vesicles to cross the blood-brain barrier, addressing a key challenge in delivering treatments to the brain. Through successful encapsulation of itraconazole, it paves the way for glioblastoma treatment by repurposing itraconazole with improved efficacy and reduced side effects. Furthermore, this can be incorporated in various drug delivery vehicles depending on the route of administration and therapeutic outcome i.e. intranasal, intravenous, or oral route. Future studies focus on determining the composition of PDEVs to enable engineering strategies for next generation targeting via surface modification.",

This review integrates the AT(N) framework with a maturity model for circulating biomarkers. We first describe core and largely validated plasma measures, including LC-MS or automated immunoassay A\u03b242/A\u03b240 ratios, p tau217 and p tau231, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neurofilament light, and we relate them to recent multi-stakeholder recommendations on analytical performance and regulatory status. We then summarize replicated but context-dependent markers, such as soluble TREM receptors, CHI3L1, and MCP 1, which improve risk stratification when interpreted together with amyloid and tau. A separate section examines emerging readouts that capture central nervous system (CNS) processes indirectly, focusing on neuron-enriched extracellular vesicles (EVs) and EV-carried microRNA panels. These signatures are biologically plausible and often precede symptoms, although current datasets are small, Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative (ADNI)-based, and require standardized pre-analytical handling and external validation before clinical triage can be recommended. We also discuss platform selection, comparing automated electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and single-molecule assays with LC-MS, and outline how composite plasma panels that include APOE genotype can support screen-confirm-monitor workflows in memory clinics. Finally, we propose a tiered implementation path in which genomic risk profiling and blood tests identify candidates for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or positron emission tomography (PET) studies. This shows how circulating and multi-omics biomarkers can be layered onto established plasma Amyloid beta (A\u03b2) and p tau assays to widen the measurable blood space in Alzheimer's disease.",

These endogenous carriers offer several advantages over conventional nanocarriers, such as liposomes. These advantages include high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and the ability to cross biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier, making them a promising platform for targeted drug delivery. In this review, we systematically summarize the biological characteristics of exosomes, methods for their isolation and purification, strategies for drug loading (including endogenous and exogenous approaches), and surface engineering techniques (such as genetic engineering and chemical modification) to enhance targeting and therapeutic efficacy, based on a comprehensive PubMed literature search. We particularly focus on the modification of engineered exosomes as drug delivery systems in various clinical contexts, covering multiple diseases including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and tissue repair. Administration routes include oral, subcutaneous, intranasal, and intravenous delivery. While exosomes have shown promise in preclinical studies, challenges remain in terms of large-scale production, standardized isolation, drug loading efficiency, and safety evaluation. Herein, we aim to provide a theoretical foundation and suggest future directions for developing exosomes as a next-generation drug delivery platform.",

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging biomarkers of cognitive decline, but their role in early ADAD is unclear. The rare apolipoprotein E (APOE3) Christchurch (APOE3Ch) variant delays disease onset, yet its effect on EVs is unknown. We analyzed plasma EVs from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3 carriers and non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3Ch carriers using flow cytometry, proteomics, and co-culture assays. APOE3Ch-EVs showed reduced vascular activation and inflammatory cargo linked to \u03b2-catenin signaling, higher apoE levels, and enrichment in lipid-loaded EVs. They mimicked the protective effect of recombinant ApoE3Ch on endothelial integrity by restoring \u03b2-catenin nuclear localization. In contrast, EVs from non-MCI PSEN1E280A-APOE3 carriers displayed vascular and inflammatory signatures associated with poorer cognition and detrimental astrocyte-endothelium effects. These findings highlight APOE3Ch-EVs as modulators of vascular and inflammatory pathways with biomarker and therapeutic potential in ADAD.",

Given the overactivation of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in atherosclerosis, PARP inhibitors have potential therapeutic potential, but their efficacy is limited due to poor in vivo targeting. Platelet-rich plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs), which inherently target inflammatory sites and mitigate oxidative stress, offer a promising delivery platform. Here, we developed NGPPEVs, a nanoplatform that employs PEVs to deliver niraparib, a PARP inhibitor, followed by encapsulation of Ca(HCO\u2083)\u2082 to generate gas within cells, thereby combining targeted therapy with ultrasound imaging capabilities. In vitro, NGPPEVs significantly scavenged intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppressed pathways related to oxidative stress and cholesterol metabolism. Mechanistically, NGPPEVs suppressed foam cell formation by inhibiting the PARP1-IL-6-CD36 axis, leading to significant downregulation of the key scavenger receptor CD36. In apolipoprotein E-deficient mice fed a high-fat high-cholesterol diet, NGPPEVs demonstrated superior therapeutic efficacy, effectively reducing atherosclerotic plaque area and enhancing plaque stability. Collectively, NGPPEVs have great potential in the precise diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis.",

Interestingly, in vitro studies showed that PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations does not affect inflammation burden in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells, whereas it increases the content of exosomal miR-10b secreted by macrophages that have engulfed apoptotic cells (efferocytic macrophages). This study was aimed at investigating whether the in vivo anti-inflammatory effect of PCA in arterial endothelial cells was due to the uptake of efferocytic macrophage exosomal miR-10b. A transwell co-culture system of aortic endothelial cells with efferocytic macrophages was used to evaluate the effect of PCA on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in aortic endothelial cells. An inhibitor of exosome secretion, GW4869, was applied to confirm the role of exosomes played in the anti-inflammatory effect of PCA. The aortic endothelial cells were administrated with exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages or miR-10b mimic or antagomir to ascertain the role of miR-10b in downregulating inflammation effect of PCA. Bioinformatics analyses, loss-of- and gain-of-function assays and luciferase reporter gene assays were performed to identify targeting relationship between miR-10b and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7)/\u03b2-transducin repeat-containing protein (\u03b2-TrCP). Besides, Apoe-/- mice with advanced atherosclerotic plaques were subjected to intragastric administration of PCA and intraperitoneal injection of GW4869. The miR-10b/MAP3K7/\u03b2-TrCP/NF-\u03baB signaling pathways and inflammation indicators were determined in vivo. PCA at physiologically reachable concentrations inhibited NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in TNF-\u03b1-stimulated aortic endothelial cells co-cultured with efferocytic macrophages, in which treatment of GW4869 reversed this effect. Exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages inhibited inflammation and increased miR-10b levels in aortic endothelial cells. Mechanistically, exosomal miR-10b post-transcriptionally repressed MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, both of which promote NF-\u03baB activation. Knockdown of Map3k7 and Btrc with siRNA in aortic endothelial cells abolished the inhibitory effects of exosomes isolated from PCA-treated efferocytic macrophages on NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation. Consistently, oral administration of PCA increased miR-10b level and inhibited Map3k7 and Btrc mRNA expression as well as inflammation in aortic endothelial cells in Apoe-/- mice, all of which were abrogated by GW4869 co-treatment. Our current findings suggest that PCA could transfer exosomal miR-10b from efferocytic macrophages to endothelial cells and thus inhibit NF-\u03baB-mediated inflammation in arterial endothelial cells through repressing MAP3K7 and \u03b2-TrCP, two new targets of miR-10b.",

Anti-aging dietary restriction (DR) and intermittent fasting (IF) alter redox states that may contribute to their longevity effects. Pyruvate/lactate and acetoacetate/beta-hydroxybutyrate are indicators of the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial [NAD+]/[NADH], respectively, while the malate/pyruvate and isocitrate/alpha-ketoglutarate are indicators of the cytoplasmic [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Using these metabolite-pair ratios as redox indicators, the C57BL/6J mouse brain showed opposite redox changes with aging to the C57BL/6N mouse brain and human brain in the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Fasting caused universal reductive shifts in the brain cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] and [NADPH]/[NADP+] and mitochondrial [NAD+]/[NADH]. The reductive shift in the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH] with fasting was opposite to that occurring with anti-aging ketone ester supplementation or ketogenic diet, which have been shown to cause an oxidative shift of the cytoplasmic [NAD+]/[NADH], but a reductive shift of the cerebral cortical cytoplasmic [NADPH]/[NADP+]. Several pathways that influence redox metabolism and aging are discussed, including fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, the citric acid cycle, fatty acid beta-oxidation, glutaminolysis, the malate-aspartate shuttle, the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, the citrate-pyruvate shuttle, and the citrate-alpha-ketoglutarate shuttle. Brain proteome, brain single-cell RNA-Seq, and brain-region-specific bulk RNA-Seq data sets of aging and DR were examined, focusing on the pathways listed above to determine how they might contribute to the redox changes. Intermittent fasting has been shown to induce cyclic metabolic switching that contributes to neuroprotection and other health benefits resulting in delayed aging, while cyclic reductive redox shifts, especially in mitochondria, may be a driver of the beneficial effects.",

Current FDA-approved therapies-intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and mechanical thrombectomy-are constrained by narrow time windows (4.5-24 h) and limited accessibility. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as promising candidates for neurorestoration, yet their therapeutic efficacy is hindered by poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration and systemic entrapment. Increasing evidence indicates that MSCs exert their therapeutic effects primarily through paracrine mechanisms mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), which regulate inflammation, apoptosis, neurogenesis, and angiogenesis. However, translation of EV-based therapies from bench to bedside remains limited, largely due to inefficient delivery and the invasiveness of existing routes. Intranasal (IN) administration offers a minimally invasive approach to bypass the BBB and achieve direct, repeated delivery to the brain. This review synthesizes the mechanistic foundations, preclinical progress, and translational potential of intranasal delivery of MSCs and their EVs for ischemic stroke therapy. We highlight comparative analyses of biodistribution, cellular targets, and functional outcomes across administration routes, emphasizing how route optimization governs therapeutic efficacy. Collectively, these insights establish intranasal delivery as a practical platform for next-generation, cell-free regenerative therapies targeting ischemic brain injury. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Despite extensive investigation of stem-cell-based interventions for ischemic stroke, the influence of administration route on therapeutic outcomes remains poorly defined. This review integrates preclinical and early-phase clinical findings to delineate how delivery pathways shape biodistribution, mechanistic engagement, and neurorepair efficacy of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and their derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). By contrasting conventional intravenous and intra-arterial approaches with the emerging intranasal route, this article emphasizes a non-invasive strategy capable of bypassing the blood-brain barrier, supporting multidose regimens, and sustaining localized repair. Beyond summarizing outcomes, this work clarifies mechanistic drivers-angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and immunomodulation-that can be fine-tuned through delivery design. The synthesis provides a framework for rationally optimizing cell-free hMSC-EV therapeutics and underscores the translational promise of intranasal delivery for clinical stroke management.",

Key symptoms include extracellular amyloid \u03b2 (A\u03b2) accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and BBB disruption. Integrative solutions are needed because conventional medicines merely relieve symptoms and cannot stop disease progression. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) plays a crucial role in A\u03b2 efflux, tau control, neuroinflammatory signaling, and neurovascular unit maintenance, making it a promising but unexplored therapeutic target. In AD and aging, LRP1 deficiency worsens clearance, vascular impairment, and neurodegeneration. Ligand-functionalized nanocarriers, antibodies, and gene manipulation show preclinical promise, but lower receptor expression, systemic off-target effects, and BBB penetration are challenges. Recent advances suggest innovative strategies, such as upregulating hepatic LRP1 for peripheral A\u03b2 storage, modulating cofactors like ANKS1A (ankyrin repeat and SAM domain containing protein 1A) for receptor trafficking, using engineered nanoparticles or extracellular vesicles as A\u03b2 decoys, preventing negative apolipoprotein E: ApoE4 and LRP1 interactions, and promoting neuroprotective pathways through LRP1 modulation. Endothelial-targeted gene therapy and dual transport rebalancing, which increases LRP1-mediated efflux and decreases RAGE-driven influx, are complementary. These precision strategies reposition LRP1 as a multifaceted therapeutic gateway rather than a clearance receptor, combining biomarker-driven patient stratification with next-generation delivery systems to transform AD disease-modifying therapies.",

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been reported to exert neuroprotective effects in models of injury and disease, acting primarily through release of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). MSC-derived sEVs (MSC-sEVs) have therefore attracted attention as a potential cell-free therapeutic approach for treating neurological conditions such as ALS. Because MSC-sEVs can cross both the nasal epithelial barrier and blood-brain barrier to reach the central nervous system (CNS), intranasal administration represents an attractive approach for repeated delivery of MSC-sEVs for long-term administration. In this study, we administered bone marrow-derived MSC-sEVs or vehicle intranasally to a SOD1(G93A) transgenic mouse model of ALS; the large majority of the sEVs had surface markers for exosomes. Dosing was for three consecutive days per week beginning one day after onset of neurological symptoms and continuing until a moribund state. Neurological score and body weight were recorded daily. Although total survival time and post-onset survival duration were not significantly prolonged by MSC-sEV treatment, MSC-sEV treatment significantly delayed progression from a mild symptom phase (NeuroScore 1) to more severe symptoms (NeuroScore 2) compared with vehicle-treated controls and showed a trend toward slower weight loss. These findings indicate that intranasal administration of MSC-sEVs can delay functional deterioration and prolong the mild impairment stage in an ALS mouse model. If translatable to human patients, such preservation of neurological function could represent a clinically meaningful outcome.",

Emerging evidence indicates that extracellular vesicles (EVs), critical mediators of intercellular communication, are implicated in the progression of AD. However, the specific mechanisms through which neuron-derived EVs contribute to synaptic formation impairment in AD remain unexplored. In this study, we characterized EVs derived from primary neurons of APP/PS1 transgenic mice (APPNEVs) and investigated their impact on synapse formation. Transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle flow cytometry, and immunoblotting confirmed that APPNEVs and WT neuron-derived EVs (WTNEVs) had similar morphology, size, and canonical small EVs markers. We further revealed that APPNEVs significantly impaired neuronal synapse formation by downregulating synaptic proteins PSD95 and Synaptophysin (SYP), reducing total synapse number, and shifting synapse morphology toward immature states. Proteomic profiling via mass spectrometry identified APOE as a key upregulated protein in APPNEVs. Pharmacological inhibition of APOE with EZ-482 effectively prevented APPNEV-induced synaptic formation impairment, APPNEV-mediated downregulation of synaptic proteins, and the APPNEV-induced decrease in synaptic maturity. Mechanistically, APPNEVs suppressed Rac1-N-WASP-Arp2/3-mediated filament actin polymerization, a critical pathway for synaptic spine formation, which was prevented by APOE inhibition. In vivo stereotactic injection of APPNEVs into the hippocampus of WT mice further validated their detrimental effects on synaptic integrity, which were prevented by EZ-482 treatment. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that APPNEVs mediate synaptic damage via carrying APOE, providing novel insights into EV-mediated neurodegeneration in AD and highlighting APOE as a potential therapeutic target for preserving synaptic formation.",

Given the established link between dysregulated lipid metabolism and amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) aggregation, we investigated whether chicoric acid (CA), a dietary polyphenol with reported lipid-modulating properties, could mitigate A\u03b2 pathology by modulating lipid metabolism in 5xFAD transgenic mice. In the brain, we found that CA upregulated the expression of liver X receptor Beta (LXR-\u03b2) and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) in 5xFAD mice. Through this pathway, it promoted apolipoprotein E (ApoE) lipidation and enhanced the expression of A\u03b2-clearance proteins (IDE and LRP1). Notably, in the periphery, CA reshaped the gut microbiota in 5xFAD mice, which reduced serum neurotoxic bile acid levels and preserved the integrity of the peripheral A\u03b2 clearance system. Together, our study first demonstrated that CA globally regulated lipid homeostasis to alleviate A\u03b2 pathology by coordinating cerebral cholesterol efflux with peripheral bile acid metabolism. The findings facilitated exploring active compounds from traditional Chinese medicine that may reduce A\u03b2 deposition by targeting lipid metabolism pathways.",

In this study, we investigated multiple immune-related pathways implicated in the management and clearance of A\u03b2 within circulating extracellular vesicles (cEVs) and serum from individuals with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) who later progressed to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A cytokine panel and the levels of A\u03b21-42 were quantified in both cEVs and serum from a longitudinally followed cohort of elderly with SCD, using mesoscale and Luminex technologies. We investigated associations with A\u03b2 burden, cognitive performance, APOE \u03b54 allele status, and the likelihood of conversion to MCI. In SCD patients, the concentrations of A\u03b21-42 and macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) were higher, respectively, in cEVs and serum. No difference was observed for fraktaline, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-\u03b3), and sCD40L in either cEVs or serum between SCD and control patients. Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, regression modeling, and correlations with cognitive performance, M-CSF levels in serum effectively distinguished individuals with SCD who converted to MCI from those who remained stable. Interestingly, combining M-CSF and cEVs A\u03b21-42 with the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) cognitive scores provided an excellent classification for SCD converted to MCI up to 2 years prior to clinical diagnosis. Our findings support the potential value of integrating serum M-CSF levels with RAVLT performance and cEVs A\u03b21-42 concentrations into a multimodal biomarker panel for longitudinal monitoring of progressive neurocognitive impairment.",

Several factors like oxidative stress, DNA damage, neuroinflammation, and altered proteostasis mark the onset of cellular senescence. A growing body of evidence highlights a strong association between cellular senescence and the development of neurodegenerative disorders, where the accumulation of senescent cells contribute to chronic inflammation, tissue dysfunction, and progressive neuronal degeneration. Despite significant advances in understanding brain aging, effective therapeutic strategies targeting these mechanisms remain limited. Over the years, targeting cellular senescence has emerged as a promising strategy in the development of senotherapeutics for age-associated neurodegenerative diseases. Stem cells and their acellular derivatives, such as the secretome, extracellular vesicles, and mitochondria, have recently emerged as promising senotherapeutic candidates. As evidenced from previous reports, cell-free components of stem cells may confer senotherapeutic benefits by delivering bioactive molecules and maintaining tissue microenvironmental homeostasis to rejuvenate the senescent cells. However, previous reviews have predominantly focussed on senotherapeutics and role of stem cells as antiaging agents. There remains a lack of integrated understanding of their role in modulating brain aging and neurodegeneration. In this review, we discuss the mechanistic role of cellular senescence in neurodegeneration contributing to brain aging and highlight emerging insights into stem cell and its acellular products as potential senotherapeutic strategies. Furthermore, we have highlighted some therapeutic strategies based on acellular products of stem cells in for combating age-associated brain dysfunction. Our manuscript uniquely provides a comprehensive essay on mechanistic insights, therapeutic convergence, and translational implications.",

Exosomes, as nanoscale extracellular vesicles, emerge as potent modulators by crossing the blood-brain barrier and delivering functional cargos (miR-146a, miR-124, TREM2, IL-10) to target immune and neuronal cells. They induce M2 microglial polarization, inhibit A1 astrocyte transformation, and balance Treg/Th17 subsets, while suppressing NF-\u03baB and NLRP3 inflammasome pathways to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6) and elevate anti-inflammatory IL-10. Additionally, exosomes enhance A\u03b2/tau clearance via promoting phagocytosis and autophagy, and repair the blood-brain barrier to mitigate peripheral immune infiltration. Derived from MSCs, immune cells, or traditional Chinese medicines, exosomes exhibit low immunogenicity and high biocompatibility, with preclinical and pilot clinical data confirming 30%\u201350% improvement in cognitive scores and 40%\u201360% reductions in cerebrospinal fluid IL-1\u03b2, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6 levels in AD models and patients. These findings highlight exosomes as a multitargeted strategy to ameliorate neuroinflammation and halt AD neurodegeneration.",

We analyzed biological samples from two cohorts of clinical trial participants: 1) participants with unremitted depression after six months of treatment as usual who received pioglitazone (PPAR\u03b3 agonist, N\u2009=\u200912) or placebo and 2) middle-aged participants at genetic risk for AD who received liraglutide (glucagon-like peptide 1 [GLP1] receptor agonist, N\u2009=\u200915) or placebo. These cohorts, which previously showed treatment-related improvements in peripheral IR, were used to assess the effects of pioglitazone and liraglutide on CNS insulin signaling using neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs) as biomarkers. We utilized biological samples to measure biomarkers of IR in NDEVs. Eleven Akt-mTOR pathway proteins were measured before and after 12 weeks of treatment in both groups. Participants who received pioglitazone experienced broader changes, with significant increases in GSK3\u03b2 (Ser9), mTOR (Ser2448), and RPS6 (Ser235/Ser236; all p\u2009\u2264\u20090.02) compared to placebo, and 77% of participants showed mTOR (Ser2448) response. Participants who received liraglutide demonstrated significantly increased NDEV-associated phosphorylated Akt (Ser473) and mTOR (Ser2448; p\u2009=\u20090.04 and p\u2009=\u20090.025, respectively) compared to placebo, with 40% and 30% of participants in the liraglutide group showing biomarker response in both Akt (Ser473) and mTOR (Ser2448), respectively. These effects appeared relatively independent from changes in fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentration at 120-minutes during the oral glucose tolerance test. Our findings demonstrate CNS-specific biomarker responses to both PPAR\u03b3 agonists and GLP1 receptor agonists.",

In this disease, mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to neurodegeneration, axonal loss, and progressive disability. Extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated mitochondrial transfer has emerged as a promising cell-free strategy to restore mitochondrial homeostasis and modulate immune responses within the CNS. Preclinical studies, particularly in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis models, demonstrate that EV-based delivery of mitochondrial cargo improves cellular bioenergetics. In parallel, this approach reduces oxidative stress and neuroinflammation while supporting remyelination and neuroprotection.

Current treatments remain limited in effectively targeting and modulating this neuroinflammatory component within the retinal microenvironment. To address this, we engineered cRGD peptide-functionalized mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (cRGD-EVs) capable of actively targeting activated microglia for the localized delivery of anti-inflammatory miRNAs. After intravitreal administration, cRGD-EVs demonstrated enhanced accumulation in the retina and specific uptake by activated microglia in a rat model of retinal ischemia/reperfusion (RIR) injury. Both in vitro co-culture models and in vivo analyses confirmed the targeting efficacy and phenotypic reprogramming of microglia from a pro-inflammatory (M1) to an anti-inflammatory (M2) state. Intravitreal injection of cRGD-EVs loaded with key miRNAs (let-7c-5p, miR-21a-5p, and miR-146a-5p) significantly suppressed NF-\u03baB pathway activation and reduced the expression of downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines. Treated animals exhibited notable preservation of retinal structure, increased RGC survival, and significant recovery of visual function, as measured by electroretinography. Furthermore, in acute ocular hypertension model, cRGD-EV treatment attenuated glaucomatous neurodegeneration and improved overall retinal homeostasis. These findings highlight cRGD-EVs as a promising targeted biologic delivery system for treating neuroinflammatory components of glaucoma and potentially other retinal diseases characterized by microglial activation.",

Their biogenesis, molecular composition, and ability to traverse physiological barriers, including the blood-brain barrier, position exosomes as powerful candidates for biomarker development and therapeutic delivery in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). In Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and prion disorders, exosomes not only mirror pathological processes but actively participate in the propagation of misfolded proteins and neuroinflammatory signals through cell-type-specific vesicle subpopulations. This review synthesises current advances in exosome biology, cargo sorting, release mechanisms, and pathophysiological roles in the central nervous system, with emphasis on how neuron-, astrocyte-, and microglia-derived exosomes diverge in their cargo profiles and functional consequences across diseases. We highlight disease-specific exosomal signatures, including amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), tau, \u03b1-synuclein, myelin proteins, prion proteins (PrP) and regulatory microRNAs. We evaluate emerging technologies such as microfluidic isolation, single-vesicle analysis, and multi-omics profiling that are accelerating biomarker discovery, and review exosome-based therapeutic strategies, including native stem cell-derived exosomes and surface-engineered vesicles loaded with neuroprotective miRNAs, small molecules, and gene-editing cargo. We address critical unmet challenges in translating these approaches to the clinic, including scalable and standardised production, incomplete pharmacokinetic /pharmacodynamic characterisation in preclinical models, immunogenicity and off-target safety concerns, and the absence of specific regulatory guidance for EV drug products. Together, these insights highlight the transformative potential of exosomes as both precision diagnostic tools and disease-modifying therapeutic platforms for NDDs.",

Rather than acting independently, these proteins often cross-seed, co-localize, and modulate each other's aggregation dynamics and toxicity. This review critically examines the mechanistic and pathological underpinnings of heterotypic protein co-aggregation, integrating biophysical, cellular, animal, and human data. This review further proposes a conceptual framework that views neurodegeneration as a network of interacting misfolded proteins shaped by age-related changes in lipid membranes, redox balance, proteostasis, and genetic factors. Emphasis is placed on translational opportunities: co-aggregation-specific biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and extracellular vesicles, and emerging multi-targeted therapies including immunotherapy, proteostasis modulators, and autophagy-inducing chimeras. This review also discusses the clinical implications of co-pathology in mixed dementias and overlapping disorders. It is therefore time to move beyond the classical one protein-one disease paradigm and embrace models that explicitly incorporate heterotypic co-aggregation, mixed pathologies, and shared vulnerability pathways across age-related disorders. By reframing co-aggregation as a central pathogenic mechanism, this review highlights the need for diagnostics and therapeutics that address the interconnectivity of protein misfolding in the ageing brains.",

Here, we advance a perspective that Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) act as active mediators bridging SARS-CoV-2 infection and neurodegenerative processes. As nanoscale messengers capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, EVs can transmit post-viral signals and orchestrate multi-target gene regulation in recipient cells through their microRNA (EV-miRNA) cargo. Our integrative analysis suggests that EV-miRNAs dysregulated in acute COVID-19, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's Disease (PD) converge on pathways governing neurovascular integrity, redox and metabolic homeostasis, and neuronal proteostasis. We propose that sustained dysregulation of these interconnected modules-driven by EV-mediated signalling-may underlie the perpetuation of neuro-PASC and accelerate neurodegeneration in susceptible individuals. Viewing EVs as mechanistic agents that both transmit and amplify pathogenic cues reframes them as actionable targets for intervention and risk stratification. This perspective calls for translational frameworks that leverage EVs to illuminate, predict, and modify the trajectory of post-viral neurodegeneration.",

Mitochondrial dynamics-including fusion-fission balance, mitophagy-biogenesis coupling, intracellular organization, and intercellular transfer via tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, or transient cell fusion-contribute to tissue adaptation and functional decline during aging. Focusing on cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and the nervous system, this narrative review synthesizes current evidence describing how aging disrupts mitochondrial network integrity through altered dynamics, impaired organelle positioning and transport, reduced mitophagy, mtDNA instability, and compromised metabolic coupling between cells. These alterations propagate across tissues, limiting energetic flexibility, stress resilience, and regenerative capacity. Building on these mechanisms, we discuss a systems-level perspective in which aging is associated with progressive loss of mitochondrial network coherence rather than solely cumulative molecular damage. Within this framework, mitochondrial connectivity functions as an integrative descriptor of cellular resilience: well-organized networks counteract metabolic perturbations, whereas functionally decoupled networks amplify stress and promote maladaptive aging trajectories. Emerging evidence indicates that physiological and pharmacological interventions, including endurance exercise, caloric restriction or mimetics, fusion-supporting pathways, and mitophagy-enhancing strategies, can partially restore network organization even later in life. Molecular, cellular, and tissue-level insights are integrated to highlight mitochondrial network dynamics as both a mechanistic contributor to aging and a potentially modifiable target for future preventive and therapeutic interventions.",

Beyond its classical roles in cushioning the brain, CSF serves as a regulated conduit for growth factors, ions, extracellular vesicles, and other bioactive molecules. Emerging evidence suggests that the ChP contributes to shaping CSF composition through energy-dependent transport and state-responsive secretion. Ventricular-contacting NSCs sense CSF cues via apical endfeet and primary cilia, integrating signals to regulate their behavior. Lifespan-dependent remodeling of CSF composition and niche architecture reshapes NSC function from embryonic expansion to adult homeostasis and age-associated decline. Beyond the ventricular niche, ChP-derived factors influence circuit maturation and vulnerability to neurodegeneration. Orthodenticle homeobox 2 regulates critical period timing and neuroblast integration, whereas apolipoprotein E couples lipid metabolisms and amyloid-\u03b2 homeostasis to neurogenesis with Alzheimer's disease risk. Additional ChP-secreted proteins, including transthyretin and clusterin, further shape the extracellular proteostatic and lipid environment.

However, its advancement is significantly limited by the lack of effective and biocompatible targeted delivery systems. Here, we introduce mitofusin-decorated extracellular vesicles (MFNEVs) as a natural-sourced nanoplatform for efficient mitochondrial delivery of various cytoplasm-sensitive macromolecular cargos. The surface-displayed mitofusin proteins MFN1 and MFN2 direct MFNEVs to localize to mitochondria, as confirmed by confocal imaging and gel electrophoresis analysis. In both in vitro and in vivo models, siRNA-loaded MFNEVs effectively reduce the expression of mitochondrial DNA-encoded genes. Moreover, sgRNA-loaded MFNEVs can achieve CRISPR-based mitochondrial gene editing, resulting in a decreased mitochondrial DNA content. Mechanistic studies further reveal that the delivery is facilitated by the cooperation of the mitochondrial fusion machinery. These findings establish the feasibility and versatility of MFNEVs as a promising delivery solution for mitochondrial therapeutics.",

Thirty-six male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, and an EA group, with 12 mice in each group. The PD model was established by intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) for 7 consecutive days. From the first day of model establishment, mice in the EA group received EA at \"Baihui\" (GV20) and bilateral \"Shenshu\" (BL23), with continuous wave, frequency of 2 Hz and intensity of 2 mA, 15 min each time, once daily, for 14 days. Pole test, hanging test, and gait analysis were used to assess behavioral performance. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) positive cells in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. ELISA was used to detect \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn) content in the substantia nigra. Western blot was used to detect protein expression levels of TH, HMGB1, RAGE, NF-\u03baB, phosphorylated NF-\u03baB (p-NF-\u03baB), GFAP, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the substantia nigra. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect mRNA expression levels of HMGB1, RAGE, NF-\u03baB, GFAP, TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IL-10 in the substantia nigra. Compared with the control group, the model group showed prolonged pole test time (P<0.01), decreased hanging score (P<0.01); shortened stride length and standing time (P<0.01), increased step frequency (P<0.01), and prolonged swing time (P<0.01) of bilateral forelimbs and hindlimbs; the number of TH-positive cells and TH protein expression level, as well as IL-10 protein and mRNA expression levels in the substantia nigra were decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), while \u03b1-syn content and the number of GFAP-positive cells, protein and mRNA expression levels of HMGB1, RAGE, GFAP, TNF-\u03b1, and IL-6, as well as p-NF-\u03baB/NF-\u03baB and NF-\u03baB mRNA expression were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01).

EA can improve motor dysfunction in PD mice, protect dopaminergic (DA) neurons, and reduce \u03b1-syn protein aggregation, thereby exerting a neuroprotective effect. This effect may be related to inhibition of reactive astrocyte activation and the HMGB1/RAGE/NF-\u03baB pathway, thereby reducing neuroinflammatory responses.

Here we classified participants using the amyloid-tau-neurodegeneration framework in a multicenter cohort and identified cerebrospinal fluid brain endothelial-derived small extracellular vesicles (c-BEEVs) as a sensitive biomarker, which correlated with vascular risk factors and the severity of small-vessel disease. c-BEEVs showed high diagnostic performance for vascular cognitive impairment and, when combined with p-tau181, effectively distinguished vascular cognitive impairment from Alzheimer's disease. In individuals with mixed Alzheimer's disease and vascular pathology, c-BEEVs were the earliest indicators of abnormalities. It predicted cognitive decline in participants without p-tau181 pathology. To investigate the mechanistic role of c-BEEVs, we established a hypertension mouse model with elevated c-BEEVs and cognitive deficits. Brain endothelial-specific knockdown of extracellular vesicle secretion alleviated cognitive and synaptic impairment. These findings position c-BEEVs as a promising biomarker for brain vascular pathology and highlight their role in neurovascular dysfunction.",

Currently, effective treatments for VaD remain limited, underscoring the clinical significance of developing novel, multi-targeted therapeutic strategies. In recent years, more and more studies have shown the connection between lung and brain, so we used nasal administration of probiotics to observe the improvement of cognitive function in VaD rats. Because the safety of the organism is uncertain, the study develop a bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs) drug delivery system that delivers the key bioactive metabolite asperuloside (ASP) by modulating the microbiota-lung-brain axis, aiming to improve brain targeting and therapeutic outcomes. The results show that nasal administration of L. salivarius significantly ameliorated cognitive impairment, mitigated neuroinflammation, restored blood-brain barrier and lung barrier function, and modulated lung flora in VaD rats. Metabolomics analysis identified ASP as the principal active metabolite, although its efficacy as a standalone agent was constrained. The EA system effectively facilitated ASP delivery to brain tissue, yielding neuroprotective and barrier-repair effects. Collectively, our study shows that L. salivarius can modulate the pathophysiological processes of VaD via the \"microbiota-lung-brain axis.\" Its EVs serve as effective vehicles for delivering active metabolites, offering a novel integrated therapeutic approach for VaD involving microbial metabolism delivery.",

This study aimed to determine whether gut microbiota drives neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment via the microglial TREM2/SYK signaling axis in early AD. Using six-month-old APP/PS1 mice, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was performed between AD and wild-type mice. Cognitive function, gut microbiota composition (16S rRNA sequencing), serum metabolites, hippocampal neuroinflammation, microglial polarization, and TREM2/SYK/NF-\u03baB pathway activity were assessed. BV2 microglial cells were treated with A\u03b2 oligomers, a TREM2 agonist, or a SYK inhibitor for mechanistic validation. AD mice exhibited cognitive decline, reduced microbial diversity (e.g., decreased Bacteroidetes and Lactobacillus), and altered circulating metabolites, including decreased butyrate and elevated LPS. Their hippocampi exhibited heightened glial activation, elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6), and a shift toward pro-inflammatory activation markers (M1-associated). At the molecular level, TREM2 expression was downregulated, whereas SYK phosphorylation and NF-\u03baB activation were enhanced, concomitant with synaptic protein loss. Critically, FMT from healthy donors reversed these abnormalities and improved cognition, whereas AD microbiota induced mild pathology in wild-type mice. In vitro, TREM2 activation or SYK inhibition attenuated A\u03b2-induced M1 polarization and cytokine release in microglia. Gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes early AD pathogenesis by dysregulating the microglial TREM2/SYK/NF-\u03baB pathway, thereby driving neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction. Targeting this microbiota-signaling axis may offer novel therapeutic strategies.",
        "42134309": "ID: 42134309\nTitle: Bioorthogonal Click Chemistry-Enabled Enrichment of Extracellular Vesicles for Integrated Molecular and Functional Liquid Biopsy\u00a7.\nAbstract: ConspectusExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-enclosed nanoparticles released by virtually all cells, carrying protected lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and active enzymes that faithfully reflect the physiological and pathological states of their cellular origins. Tumor- and neuron-derived EVs are abundantly present in peripheral blood, even at early disease stages, and thus represent highly attractive substrates for liquid biopsy. However, the clinical translation of EV-based diagnostics has been constrained by a central challenge: the inability to selectively enrich disease-relevant EVs from a vast background of normal EVs with sufficient specificity, efficiency, and compatibility for seamless integration with downstream molecular and functional analyses. Conventional physical isolation approaches generate heterogeneous EV mixtures that dilute disease-specific signals, whereas traditional immunoaffinity capture often suffers from nonspecific interactions and low recovery due to sparse and heterogeneous antigen density on EV membranes.To overcome these limitations, our laboratory has developed a chemical biology solution utilizing the bioorthogonal inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction between trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and tetrazine (Tz). By labeling tumor or neuronal EVs in plasma with TCO-grafted antibodies and covalently immobilizing them onto Tz-functionalized substrates, our three EV enrichment platforms, namely, EV Click Chips, EV Click Beads, and EV Click MagBeads, enable rapid, irreversible, and highly specific capture of defined EV subpopulations. These click chemistry-mediated enrichment strategies reduce nonspecific binding, markedly improve capture efficiency, and preserve EV integrity, providing a robust foundation for downstream genetic, proteomic, and functional analyses. Building on this chemical biology solution, we established three complementary EV assay modalities. Platform #1, the EV Digital Scoring Assay, couples click chemistry-mediated EV enrichment with RT-digital PCR to quantify tumor-specific mRNAs or oncogenic mutations. This \"enrich-then-count\" strategy has demonstrated strong clinical utility in early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), molecular staging of prostate cancer, and detection of actionable gene alterations in pancreatic cancer and Ewing sarcoma. A refined version enables real-time HCC treatment-response monitoring, outperforming serum AFP and radiographic criteria in monitoring treatment responses. Platform #2, the EV Surface Protein Assay, uses antibody-directed click enrichment followed by immuno-PCR or RT-qPCR to quantify tumor-specific EV subpopulations. Analogous to tissue immunohistochemistry but executed in a liquid-biopsy format, this assay has shown accuracy in early detection of HCC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and epithelial ovarian cancer and supports longitudinal monitoring in prostate and thyroid cancers. Platform #3, the EV Protease Activity Assay, extends EV analysis into functional biology by measuring enzymatic activities preserved within enriched EVs. In osteosarcoma, matrix metalloproteinase activity profiles stratified localized versus metastatic disease and tracked therapeutic response. In neurology, quantifying \u03b2-secretase activity in neuronal EVs enabled highly accurate detection of early Alzheimer's disease and correlated with cognitive performance.Together, these TCO-Tz click chemistry-enabled platforms provide a modular, robust, and clinically adaptable toolkit for noninvasive EV-based diagnostics. By uniting chemical precision with biological and clinical relevance, this framework advances the broader vision of real-time, disease-specific liquid biopsy across oncology and neurodegeneration, laying the foundation for next-generation integrated diagnostic systems.",

Passive A\u03b2 immunotherapy effectively reduces cerebral A\u03b2 deposition but is limited by severe side effects, including cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), microhemorrhage, and amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA). Here, we investigated the efficacy and safety of a novel anti-A3-10 monoclonal antibody (7B8) in APP/PS1 double-transgenic mice, with a focus on its impacts on amyloid clearance, neuroinflammation, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. 7B8 was generated by immunizing mice with A3-10-KLH. Six-month-old APP/PS1 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 7B8 (10 mg/kg) weekly for 8 doses (7B8 group). Age-matched APP/PS1 mice treated with IgG and C57BL/6J mice served as negative and wild-type (WT) controls, respectively. One week after the final injection, behavioral tests were performed, followed by euthanasia for histological (left brain hemisphere) and biochemical (right brain hemisphere) analyses. Compared with the IgG group, the 7B8 group exhibited significantly reduced cerebral A\u03b2 deposition and improved cognitive function (both P\u00a0<\u00a00.05), comparable to the WT group. Notably, in these young 6-month-old APP/PS1 mice with early-stage amyloid deposition and minimal CAA pathology, 7B8 treatment did not increase microhemorrhage risk relative to the IgG control group (P > 0.05). Furthermore, 7B8 preserved vascular integrity by reducing perivascular A\u03b240 deposition and smooth muscle actin damage, while enhancing endothelial cell fluorescence intensity (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05). At the molecular level, 7B8 upregulated vascular LRP-1 and BBB tight junction proteins (ZO-1, CLDN-5, Occludin), and downregulated RAGE expression (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05). It also suppressed microglial and astrocytic activation, reduced levels of IL-6 and cortical TNF-\u03b1, and inhibited the HMGB-1/RAGE/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway (P\u00a0<\u00a00.05), without affecting global TNF-\u03b1 or IL-1\u03b2 levels. 7B8 effectively alleviates cognitive impairment and clears cerebral and perivascular amyloid deposits in young APP/PS1 mice with early-stage AD pathology and minimal CAA, with no increased risk of microhemorrhage in this experimental setting. It also protects vascular structure and BBB integrity by inhibiting the HMGB-1/RAGE/NF-\u03baB-mediated neuroinflammatory response. Given the limitations of evaluating CAA-related safety in young mice, future studies using mid-aged (12-15-month-old) APP/PS1 mice with prominent CAA will be conducted to fully characterize 7B8's safety profile. These findings highlight 7B8 as a promising candidate for safe and effective AD immunotherapy, providing new insights into the development of ARIA-minimizing strategies.",

The main aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of our agents on oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, cognitive function, and behavioral performance in an LPS-induced AD animal model and comprehensive in vitro and in vivo assays. The synthesized compounds, namely 4b, 5b, 6, 8a-d, and 11a-c, revealed acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (3.50-5.91\u202fnM) superior to that of the reference drug donepezil (6.33\u202fnM). The IC50 value of 11a the most active candidate was 3.50\u202fnM against hAChE, with a significant reduction in amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation by 70% compared to LPS-treated groups, it also reduced neuronal damage, as evidenced by histopathological analysis. Compared to LPS treated groups, 11a decreased brain GFAP, NLRP3, NF-\u03baB, APOE and MDA by 76%, 65%, 48%, 75%, and 59% respectively while increasing GSH by 81%. Molecular docking simulation, along with 100 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations conducted on the AChE-ligand complexes, demonstrated favorable conformations of ligand-protein complex throughout the simulations, predicting a dual binding to the CAS and PAS regions of the enzyme which is consistent with kinetic studies against hAChE. Moreover, the chemical stability and reactivity of the drug-target complex were evaluated using global and local reactive descriptors. These findings suggested that compound 11a possessed promising potential as a multi-target lead compound for the development of anti-Alzheimer treatments based on cholinergic, amyloidogenic, and neuroinflammation, through GFAP/NF-\u03baB/APOE/NLRP3 signaling axis.",

We investigated whether aerobic exercise performed in a fasted state, rather than the fed state, would potentiate \u03b2-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)-dependent inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome signaling. Twenty-month-old male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five groups: AD, AD\u2009+\u2009intermittent fasting (ADIF), AD\u2009+\u2009aerobic exercise (ADAE), ADIF\u2009+\u2009aerobic exercise (ADIFAE), and sham-injected control (SC). AD-like pathology was induced by bilateral intrahippocampal injection of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2)1-42. The IF regimen consisted of a daily 14-h fast (06:00-20:00). Exercise consisted of moderate-intensity treadmill running (5 days/week for 4 weeks), either in the fed state or after \u223c12.5\u2009h of fasting. A\u03b2 injection impaired spatial learning and memory, elevated soluble A\u03b21-42 (sA\u03b2), malondialdehyde (MDA), NF-\u03baB, NLRP3, caspase-1, interleukin-1\u03b2 (IL-1\u03b2), and IL-18, and reduced superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the hippocampus (p\u2009 < 0.05). Both IF and exercise partially reversed cognitive impairments by reducing sA\u03b2 and oxidative stress, increasing BHB, suppressing NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 signaling, and restoring BDNF (p\u2009 < 0.05), while fasted-state exercise produced significantly larger effects than either intervention alone (p\u2009 < 0.05). Our findings suggest that performing exercise in a fasted state provides complementary metabolic, anti-inflammatory, and cognitive benefits that exceed those of either intervention alone. This combined regimen may represent a promising nonpharmacological strategy for targeting metabolic-immune and neurotrophic pathways relevant to AD progression.",

Although amyloid-\u03b2 and tau continue to serve as core biomarkers and therapeutic targets, the clinical efficacy of recent biologic agents targeting amyloid has led to a new paradigm in AD treatment. Nevertheless, emerging data show that lipid metabolism is an important and well-established aspect of AD pathophysiology rather than a new theory. Lipid processing in microglia, astrocytes, and neurons is disrupted, leading to chronic inflammation, impaired amyloid clearance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic dysfunction. This review critically analyzes how lipid accumulation and lipid droplet biology contribute to Alzheimer's disease using cellular, animal, and human studies. Special focus is placed on enzymatic regulators such as DGAT2, cholesterol transport, and neuron-glia metabolic linkages. This review synthesizes existing mechanistic and translational data to emphasize lipid dysregulation as a complementary therapeutic target and potential biomarker axis that may improve current amyloid- and taudirected therapeutic strategies.",
        "42161925": "ID: 42161925\nTitle: O-GlcNAcylation reprograms microglial inflammatory states and attenuates Alzheimer's disease pathology.\nAbstract: Chronic neuroinflammation, primarily driven by microglia, is a hallmark and key contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. O-GlcNAcylation, a nutrient-sensitive post-translational modification, has emerged as a key regulator of cellular stress and inflammation, yet its role in microglial activation in AD remains unclear. We observed that hippocampal tissue from AD patients exhibits a marked reduction in O-GlcNAcylation, accompanied by enhanced pro-inflammatory M1 microglial polarization, elevated NF-\u03baB signaling, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In an LPS-induced neuroinflammation model exhibiting AD-relevant inflammatory and cognitive features, as well as in in vitro microglial cultures, LPS exposure led to a pronounced decrease in O-GlcNAcylation, particularly within Iba1-positive microglia. Systemic or in vitro treatment with glucosamine (GlcN) effectively restored O-GlcNAc levels, suppressed M1-associated inflammatory pathways, and promoted an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Mechanistically, GlcN enhanced O-GlcNAcylation of NF-\u03baB subunits p65 and c-Rel, limiting their nuclear translocation and downstream pro-inflammatory gene expression. Notably, GlcN treatment ameliorated LPS-induced memory deficits and neuronal loss in mice. Collectively, these findings suggest that O-GlcNAcylation acts as a modulatory regulator of microglial activation and neuroinflammation in AD, and that enhancing O-GlcNAcylation may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to preserve immune homeostasis and neuronal integrity.",

Purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 7 (P2X7R), an ATP-gated ion channel highly expressed in microglia, astrocytes, and neurons, has emerged as a pivotal regulator of these neuroimmune responses. This narrative review synthesizes the literature on P2X7R-mediated neuroinflammation and glial modulation in migraine. Evidence indicates that P2X7R activation triggers a cascade of pro-inflammatory events, including Pannexin-1 (PANX1) channel opening, NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome assembly, and the release of cytokines such as Interleukin-1\u03b2 (IL-1\u03b2) and Tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1). Concurrently, it activates p38 MAPK and Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling pathways, thereby amplifying glial pro-inflammatory phenotypes and facilitating key migraine phenomena like cortical spreading depression (CSD) and trigeminovascular activation. Consistently, pharmacological or genetic inhibition of P2X7R has been shown to attenuate CSD, pain behaviors, and associated cognitive deficits in animal models of migraine. The receptor's involvement is further underscored by its link to autophagy dysfunction and central sensitization, highlighting its broad role in migraine chronification. Although these findings position P2X7R as a master regulator of neuroinflammation in migraine by integrating glial activation, cytokine release, and neuronal sensitization, most supporting evidence currently derives from animal models, a crucial point to note. This limitation, alongside heterogeneity in experimental designs, underscores the need for more translational research in humans. Nonetheless, given its central role, P2X7R inhibition emerges as a promising disease-modifying therapeutic strategy, potentially by counteracting core pathophysiological drivers of migraine.",

However, the role of miR\u201116\u20115p in this process remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the function and mechanism of miR\u201116\u20115p. TargetScan was used to predict miR-16-5p targets, which were validated by RNA pull-down. miR\u201116\u20115p expression was assessed by RT\u2011qPCR in IR retinas and in astrocytes after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R). Astrocyte activation, inflammatory cytokine, and Wip1/nuclear factor kappa B (NF\u2011\u03baB) signaling were examined following miR-16-5p modulation with mimics or inhibitors in vitro and in vivo. Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis, retinal function, and morphology were evaluated. miR\u201116\u20115p was found to potentially target wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (Wip1) and decreased Wip1 expression. In IR-injured mouse retinas and OGD/R-treated astrocytes, miR\u201116\u20115p expression was significantly downregulated. This decrease was accompanied by astrocyte activation, increased TNF-\u03b1 and IL-1\u03b2 levels, and upregulation of Wip1 and phosphorylated NF-\u03baB p65 (p-p65). These retinal changes indicated retinal injury, characterized by increased TUNEL-positive RGCs, elevated cleaved caspase-3 levels, retinal thinning, and reduced electroretinography (ERG) amplitudes. Treatment with miR-16-5p mimics ameliorated these molecular, cellular, structural, and functional alterations, whereas miR\u201116\u20115p inhibitors exacerbated them. Collectively, miR-16-5p may protect RGCs from IR-induced apoptosis by suppressing astrocyte-mediated inflammation via the Wip1/NF-\u03baB signaling axis.",

Neurones, owing to their unique bioenergetic demands, are particularly vulnerable to mitochondrial dysfunction, a shared pathogenetic feature across many neurological conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, and brain injuries. Intercellular transfer of mitochondria represents a potential adaptive mechanism rectifying compromised mitochondrial function. Neuroglial cells, especially astrocytes and microglia, frequently act as mitochondrial donors, supplying functional mitochondria to stressed neurones to restore bioenergetic capacity and influence disease trajectories. However, mitochondria transfer is intrinsically context dependent and can exert opposing effects. In addition to providing metabolic support, damaged mitochondria may also be transferred, propagating pathological signals, and exacerbating tissue injury. Moreover, in advanced disease states, mitochondrial malfunction often affects all cell types in the nervous system, including neuroglia, limiting the availability of healthy endogenous mitochondrial donors. This review critically examines mitochondria transfer in neurological diseases, with a focus on glial contribution and underlying mechanisms, and outlines key challenges and opportunities for advancing both mechanistic understanding and therapeutic translation.",

MSC-sEVs offer advantages of low immunogenicity, ease of storage, and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms by which MSC-sEVs have been reported to promote neural repair and recovery in preclinical models, through two convergent categories of action. First, MSC-sEVs exert direct neurorestorative effects, including activation of endogenous neural stem cells via Wnt/beta-catenin and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, neuroprotection through PTEN/Akt-mediated anti-apoptotic and antioxidant pathways, preservation of mitochondrial function through mitophagy regulation, and promotion of neurite outgrowth and synaptogenesis through cytoskeletal remodeling and growth signaling. Second, MSC-sEVs modulate the injury microenvironment by shifting microglia and infiltrating macrophages toward anti-inflammatory phenotypes through NF-kB pathway modulation, converting reactive astrocytes to neuroprotective states, promoting angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier restoration, and enhancing oligodendrogenesis and remyelination. These effects are mediated largely through the transfer of microRNAs and other bioactive cargo to target cells at the injury site, although the relative contribution of individual cargo components remains to be fully established. We discuss how these actions address the pathophysiology of stroke, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, TBI, and MS, highlighting disease-specific mechanisms and the current gap between preclinical evidence and clinical validation. Finally, we address challenges for clinical translation, including standardization of critical quality attributes and potency assays, route-dependent biodistribution, safety considerations, and dosing optimization. We also discuss engineering strategies for enhanced efficacy, including surface modification for CNS-targeted delivery, source cell preconditioning, cargo engineering, and scaffold-based sustained release systems. Although no clinical trials have yet evaluated MSC-sEV therapy specifically for neurological disorders, the growing body of safety data from non-neurological MSC-sEV trials and the extensive clinical experience with parent MSC therapies provide a foundation for future CNS-focused studies. MSC-sEVs hold substantial potential as a cell-free approach for neurological disorders that currently lack effective regenerative therapies, although realization of this potential will require rigorous clinical validation.",

Their secretome exerts cytoprotective effects in the brain, although the mechanisms underlying MSC-mediated neurological recovery remain poorly understood. A substantial portion of the MSC secretome is delivered via extracellular vesicles (EVs), membrane-bound particles that facilitate intercellular communication. EVs derived from MSCs of various origins exhibit therapeutic potential, and numerous studies are examining the miRNA and protein cargo contained within MSC-EVs. Despite these efforts, methodological differences across the literature and the inherent variability associated with MSC sources have limited data interpretation and identification of EV-factors which may be responsible for neuroprotection. In this study, we have reviewed proteomic, transcriptomic and lipidomic datasets from a selection of recent MSC-EV studies, to identify shared cargo components that may contribute to promoting cell repair and plasticity in brain, counteracting neurodegeneration.",

We performed a systems biology analysis by retrieving high-confidence gene-disease associations from DisGeNET v7.0 (PD: score \u2265 0.8, EI \u2265 0.4; CKD: score \u2265 0.6, EI \u2265 0.4) and constructing a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network via STRING v11.5 (confidence \u2265 0.700). Direct \"molecular bridges\" between CKD and PD proteins were identified and validated using independent databases. To corroborate biological feasibility, candidate proteins were cross-referenced with ExoCarta and Vesiclepedia databases for exosomal localization. Functional enrichment, tissue expression, and pathway analyses were conducted. Despite zero gene overlap (64 PD genes, 17 CKD genes), the PPI network showed significant convergence (81 nodes, 280 edges, PPI enrichment p < 1.0 \u00d7 10-16). Fifteen high-confidence molecular bridges were identified, including the Apolipoprotein A1 (APOA1)-\u03b1-synuclein (SNCA) interaction (combined score 0.883), which was independently validated by IntAct. Functional enrichment revealed specific association of APOA1-SNCA with \"amyloid fiber formation\" (false discovery rate (FDR) = 0.038). Both APOA1 and SNCA are annotated as exosome components (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) ko04147) and were confirmed as consistent cargo in plasma, urine, and platelet-derived extracellular vesicles within proteomic databases (ExoCarta IDs: 335, 6622). Global pathway analysis highlighted inflammation, oxidative stress, and the advanced glycation end product (AGE)-receptor for AGE (RAGE) pathway. We propose an integrative model wherein CKD-induced dysregulation of APOA1 promotes \u03b1-synuclein misfolding and aggregation, and the co-packaging of these proteins into exosomes provides a plausible vehicle for kidney-to-brain propagation. This framework offers testable hypotheses and potential therapeutic targets for PD-CKD comorbidity.",

This review addresses the mechanisms through which mitochondrial transfer occurs, including tunneling nanotubes, extracellular vesicles, gap junction channels, and cell fusion. Mitochondrial transfer and transplantation have demonstrated positive therapeutic effects in various disease models, such as cerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Exogenous mitochondria can integrate into recipient cells, enhancing adenosine triphosphate production, restoring redox balance, and improving cellular survival under stress conditions. However, clinical translation faces significant hurdles, including immune rejection, limited recipient cell uptake capacity, a lack of standardized manufacturing protocols, and unresolved ethical concerns regarding mitochondrial sourcing. To address these challenges, cutting-edge biotechnological strategies, such as mitochondrial surface modification, nanocarrier-based delivery, biomaterial-assisted transplantation, and the use of engineered vesicles, are being developed to enhance the precision, stability, and biocompatibility of mitochondrial delivery. Furthermore, innovative approaches, including CRISPR-based genome editing, 3D-bioprinted tissue models, and artificial intelligence-assisted predictive platforms, are being explored to enhance mitochondrial function and delivery efficiency. Current strategies to harness mitochondrial transfer include pharmacological agents that enhance mitochondrial dynamics, stem cell-based delivery of healthy mitochondria, and the aforementioned bioengineered platforms. In conclusion, the integration of mitochondrial transfer as a groundbreaking treatment option for neurological disorders relies on addressing two to three fundamental challenges. These include the establishment of standardized and scalable protocols for production and quality control, formulating approaches to minimize immune reactions and improve the efficiency of mitochondrial integration, and creating a well-defined ethical and regulatory framework for sourcing and utilizing mitochondria. The primary contribution of this work lies in its integrated analysis of mechanistic insights, preclinical applications, and technological innovations, providing a consolidated roadmap for advancing mitochondrial transplantation from bench to bedside.",

These outcomes are related, but they are not the same. They arise from the interaction of baseline brain vulnerability and perioperative stress, including inflammation, vascular instability, blood-brain barrier injury, metabolic strain, and reduced neural reserve. Preoperative genetic profiling is useful because it can estimate latent susceptibility before surgery. Among current signals, APOE is the strongest and most biologically relevant locus. At the same time, Alzheimer's disease polygenic risk scores (AD-PRS) can capture non-APOE common-variant burden across lipid transport, endosomal trafficking, innate immune signaling, complement activity, microglial regulation, mitochondrial stress, and neurovascular integrity. Recent perioperative cohort studies have begun to test preoperative APOE-based and polygenic neurocognitive risk in surgical patients. Large delirium genetics studies also show a strong signal at the APOE locus and support overlap between delirium risk and Alzheimer's disease-related common-variant architecture. These findings support an APOE-aware framework in which APOE genotype is modeled separately from non-APOE AD-PRS. In clinical use, this genomic layer should be combined with baseline cognition, frailty, vascular comorbidity, surgery-related risk, and circulating biomarkers such as neurofilament light chain. This review summarizes the loci, molecular pathways, and translational model designs that can move preoperative genomic profiling from association to perioperative risk stratification.",

We identified protective genetic variants in SH3RF3/POSH2 that delayed the onset of AD among individuals carrying the PSEN1G206A mutation. SH3RF3 acts as a JNK pathway scaffold and activates NF\u03baB signaling. While the effects of SH3RF3 knockdown in human neurons were subtle, including decreased pTau S422, knockdown in human microglia significantly reduced inflammatory cytokines in response to either a viral mimic or oA\u03b242. This was associated with reduced activation of JNK and NF\u03baB pathways in response to these stimuli. Pharmacological inhibition of JNK or NF\u03baB signaling phenocopied SH3RF3 knockdown. We also found PSEN1G206A microglia had a reduced inflammatory response to oA\u03b242. Thus, further reduction of microglial inflammatory responses in PSEN1G206A mutant carriers by protective variants in SH3RF3 might reduce the link between amyloid and neuroinflammation to subsequently delay the onset of AD.",

Increasing evidence indicates that dysregulated lipid metabolism is not merely a metabolic disturbance but a critical modulator of inflammatory responses driving AD pathogenesis. The brain, one of the most lipid-enriched organs, relies on tightly controlled lipid homeostasis to maintain neuronal function and synaptic integrity. Alterations in fatty acid composition, apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoforms, lipoprotein lipase activity, and lipid-derived signaling mediators profoundly reshape microglial activation states and inflammatory cascades. Obesity, insulin resistance, and gut microbiota dysbiosis further exacerbate systemic and central lipid imbalance, amplifying neuroinflammatory signaling through cytokine networks and blood-brain barrier disruption. Notably, polyunsaturated fatty acids and lipid mediators exert dual immunomodulatory effects, influencing \u03b2-amyloid aggregation, oxidative stress, and microglial polarization. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding how lipid metabolism modulates neuroinflammation and microglia-neuron crosstalk in AD, highlighting emerging therapeutic strategies targeting lipid-inflammation axes as promising avenues for disease modification.",

Neuroinflammation, once considered a secondary phenomenon, is now established as a third core pathological pillar of AD, with microglia at its epicenter. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted role of microglia in AD pathogenesis and evaluates the rapidly evolving landscape of microglia-targeted therapeutic strategies. We first delineate the dynamic and dichotomous function of microglia, which act as a \"double-edged sword.\" Emerging evidence reveals a complex, three-stage functional arc: microglia are implicated in the initial seeding of A\u03b2 plaques, then transition to a neuroprotective role by containing established plaques, and finally devolve into a chronic, pro-inflammatory state that drives neurodegeneration. We then delve into the core molecular mechanisms governing this plasticity, including the pivotal Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2)-APOE signaling axis, the inhibitory receptor Cluster of Differentiation 33 (CD33), and key intracellular hubs like the NLRP3 inflammasome, which directly link genetic risk factors to microglial dysregulation. Based on this mechanistic understanding, we critically evaluate diverse therapeutic strategies, ranging from suppressing neurotoxic inflammation (e.g., TNF-\u03b1 and NLRP3 inhibitors) to enhancing protective functions (e.g., TREM2 agonism and CD33 antagonism), eliminating senescent microglia (senolytics), and utilizing advanced nanoplatforms for brain-targeted delivery. Finally, we highlight the critical role of neuroinflammatory biomarkers within the emerging ATI(N) framework for enabling precision medicine. In conclusion, targeting microglia represents a vital therapeutic avenue that moves beyond amyloid-centric approaches, where a sophisticated understanding of their stage-dependent functions is paramount for developing effective immunomodulatory therapies to alter the devastating course of AD.",

While the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is known to maintain blood-brain barrier integrity, its capacity to decouple the inflammation-metabolism axis remains underexplored. This study investigates whether activation of LRP1 can ameliorate LPS-induced cognitive deficits by recalibrating cerebral glucose metabolism. We utilized an integrative approach combining behavioral phenotyping with targeted metabolomics and transcriptomics to dissect the neuroprotective mechanism of SP16, a selective LRP1 agonist. Cognitive dysfunction was modeled in mice via intracerebroventricular (i.c.v) LPS administration, followed by systemic intervention with intraperitoneally (i.p) injected SP16. SP16 treatment preserved cognitive function and prevented neuronal structural atrophy against the LPS injection. Mechanistically, LRP1 activation did more than suppress inflammation; it functionally modulated hippocampal insulin sensitivity and re-established redox homeostasis. Crucially, metabolomic profiling highlighted a restoration of glycolytic flux, centered on the normalization of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) levels. This metabolic reprogramming coincided with the upregulation of the M2-like reparative marker, Mrc1. Our findings identify LRP1 as a regulator that bridges metabolic health and immune resolution. By enforcing a metabolic shift via the FBP node, SP16 effectively guides microglia from a pro-inflammatory state toward tissue repair. Thus, honing in on SP16-mediated metabolic reprogramming presents an opportunity for a therapeutic intervention against neuroinflammation-associated cognitive impairment, offering a more nuanced alternative to broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories.",

Here, we evaluated yeast-derived vacuoles as orally deliverable bio-derived vesicular structures for modulating AD-associated neuroinflammatory responses. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated C6 glioma cells, vacuoles were efficiently internalized, showed minimal cytotoxicity, reduced APP/A\u03b2-related protein and phosphorylated Tau levels, and suppressed p38 MAPK and NF-\u03baB signaling, including downstream inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. In aged C57BL/6 mice, oral vacuole administration reduced brain APP/A\u03b2-related protein, Tau, and phosphorylated Tau levels and improved histological features in the hippocampus and cortex. Although direct brain biodistribution was not detected by IVIS imaging, the observed functional changes support further investigation of vacuole-mediated gut-to-brain bioactivity. These findings suggest yeast-derived vacuoles as a promising bio-derived platform for modulating neuroinflammation in AD.",

It is characterized by elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, impaired microglial function, activated glia, and astrocytes. Higher ApoE2 expression in the brain attenuates neuroinflammation. The nano-hybrid-mediated approach was employed for effective intranasal (IN) delivery of a plasmid encoding ApoE2 (pApoE2) to investigate its effect on age-related neuroinflammation. The nanohybrid demonstrated enhanced pDNA loading (89.1%) compared to extracellular vesicles (EVs) (10.4%), was <230\u00a0nm in size, and was non-toxic to brain cells. The nanohybrid/pApoE2 complex demonstrated significantly higher (p\u00a0\u2264\u00a00.05) cellular transfection efficiency in primary astrocytes and neurons than EVs (12.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.8 and 10.5\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.5\u00a0ng/mg of protein, respectively).

Stem cells secrete growth factors, signaling molecules, and extracellular vesicles, that can be used to treat neurological diseases and promote neuronal regeneration. Transgenic 5xFAD mice, which are a model for Alzheimer's disease (AD), were used in this study. The mice were 7 months old and received retro-orbital injections of glial progenitor cells (GPCs) once a week for 4 months. At 11 months, their behavior was analyzed using a multichannel actigraphy system. Brain tissues from the cortex, hippocampus, and midbrain were collected for postmortem analysis of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme activity. The results showed that the GPCs injection significantly improved the response of the hippocampal p2 mitochondrial fraction in 5xFAD mice to succinate, reaching a level observed in control animals. A similar trend was also observed for the cytochrome c oxidase complex. The oxygen consumption rate of mitochondria did not differ from that of clinically healthy mice after ascorbate/N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride administration. A similar decrease in the efficiency of the electron transport chain was detected in the midbrain of 5xFAD mice, but no recovery was observed after GPCs treatment. Behavioral differences between non-transgenic and transgenic groups were observed in a multiparameter analysis using the actigraphy system. The behavior of transgenic mice in the treated and untreated groups was similar, while the behavior of non-transgenic mice varied. Additional analysis of locomotor activity and transient events in particular revealed that the activity of the GPCs-treated 5xFAD mice was differed fundamentally compared to other groups. Specifically, GPCs-treated mice exhibited greater number of transitions between intermediate activity states. In contrast, untreated mice showed transitions between extreme activity states, such as from low to high activity or vice versa. These findings suggest that changes in behavior and activity of the AD mice may be associated not only with hippocampal dysfunction, but also with disruptions in midbrain structures.",

Although traditionally viewed as brain-intrinsic, growing evidence indicates that peripheral metabolic organs substantially influence neural aging trajectories. Among these, adipose tissue is increasingly recognized as a dynamic endocrine and immune organ capable of modulating central nervous system (CNS) structure and function across the lifespan. Epidemiological, neuroimaging and experimental studies consistently link adipose tissue dysfunction, particularly the expansion and inflammatory remodeling of visceral fat depots, to accelerated brain aging, cognitive decline and increased susceptibility to neurodegenerative disease. These relationships extend beyond conventional cardiometabolic risk, implicating adipose-derived mechanisms with direct relevance for neural aging. Chronic low-grade inflammation, impaired insulin signaling, dyslipidemia, adipokine imbalance and senescence-associated secretory activity originating in adipose tissue act on the aging brain by promoting microglial dysfunction, cerebrovascular impairment, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and synaptic vulnerability. In parallel, adipose-derived extracellular vesicles and microRNAs have been identified as direct molecular mediators of adipose-brain communication. Importantly, adipose tissue is structurally and functionally heterogeneous, and its impact on brain aging is strongly depot- and context-dependent. While dysfunctional visceral adipose tissue amplifies neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative processes, preserved subcutaneous and thermogenic depots may support brain resilience by sustaining metabolic homeostasis and neurotrophic signaling. By integrating molecular, translational and human evidence, this review frames adipose tissue as a central and modifiable systemic determinant of brain aging. Framing brain aging within a peripheral metabolic context reconciles findings across disciplines and highlights adipose-targeted interventions as promising strategies for preserving cognitive function and reducing neurodegenerative risk.",

Although established blood-based biomarkers, such as plasma p-tau217, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and GFAP, have shown clinical utility, limitations in sensitivity and scalability remain. Platelets, anucleate cytoplasmic fragments originating from megakaryocytes, are the primary producers of extracellular vesicles in the peripheral blood. These vesicles contain disease-specific cargo, including amyloid-\u03b2, \u03b1-synuclein, tau, disease-associated glycoproteins, and microRNAs (miRNAs) derived from platelets. Recent findings suggest that the cargo of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles (pEVs) may be associated with neurodegenerative changes linked to disease severity. However, validation through a prospective multicenter study is necessary. A systematic narrative review was performed by searching the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases with the keywords \"platelet-derived extracellular vesicles,\" \"platelet microvesicles,\" \"neurodegeneration,\" and \"biomarkers\" (inception through April 2026). This review discusses the biogenesis of pEV, their composition in relation to blood markers, and their pathomechanistic roles, such as platelet-mediated blood-brain barrier disruption, neuroinflammation, and misfolded protein seeding. The diagnostic evidence of pEV-associated cargo in neurodegenerative diseases is critically evaluated and contextualized with current blood markers. Key preanalytical considerations, including the selection of anticoagulants, isolation procedures, storage conditions, and the number of freeze-thaw cycles, as well as analytical considerations, such as flow cytometric calibration, single-vesicle resolution, and multiplexed platforms, are examined for their applicability in clinical laboratory settings.

Despite various attempts, therapeutic translation remains limited by inefficient delivery of bioactive molecules to neuronal cells. This study presents a surface-engineered extracellular vesicle (EV) platform designed for targeted peptide delivery, assessing its neuroprotective efficacy in an in vitro model of Alzheimer's disease. EVs were obtained from NIH/3T3 cells expressing Lamp2b-RVG and were surface-modified with the \u03b2-sheet breaker peptide H102 through CP05-CD63 affinity binding. ATR-FTIR, SERS Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, zeta potential measurements, and EV marker profiling demonstrated successful peptide conjugation and vesicle integrity. Aggregated A\u03b225-35 was utilized to assess neuronal toxicity in NGF-differentiated PC-12 cells. Peptide-modified EV demonstrated effective, time-dependent cellular uptake and significantly improved cell viability while decreasing membrane damage and intracellular reactive oxygen species levels in comparison to A\u03b2-treated controls. Treatment with Peptide-modified EV normalized the expression of key genes associated with Alzheimer's, such as APP, Bax, Sirt1, and Stat1, suggesting a coordinated modulation of amyloidogenic, apoptotic, oxidative, and inflammatory pathways. The results indicate that surface-engineered EVs facilitate efficient neuronal delivery of therapeutic peptides and offer multi-level cytoprotection against A\u03b2-induced neurotoxicity. This study emphasizes the capability of peptide-decorated EV as a multifunctional nanocarrier system for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.",

Therefore, inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome activity can slow the development of AD. Eugenol, a natural phenolic compound, is known to inhibit or modulate the inflammatory response. Therefore, this study focuses on scrutinizing the potential neuroprotective effect of eugenol via the NLRP3 signaling pathway in aluminum chloride (AlCl3) elicited AD rats. Rats were split into four groups: olive oil, eugenol (50\u202fmg/kg), AlCl3 (100\u202fmg/kg), and eugenol\u00a0+\u00a0AlCl3, where rats received eugenol orally 2 weeks before and concurrently with oral induction by AlCl3 for 12 weeks. Behavioral, histopathological, and biochemical analyses were performed. Significant behavioral dysfunction, aluminum accumulation and pronounced neuronal damage were observed in AD rats. These were associated with increased hippocampal nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) and amyloid beta protein 1-42 (A\u03b2 1-42) along with diminished serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels. In addition, activation of NLRP3 inflammasome pathway components concomitant with upregulation of the pyroptotic marker; gasdermin D (GSDMD) was observed. Nevertheless, eugenol administration significantly improved rats' behavioral and histological aberrations, reduced NO, MDA, aluminum, and elevated TAC levels. Eugenol modulated toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (Myd88)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) signal transduction pathway, leading to inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, inflammatory cytokines as interleukin 18 (IL-18) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1\u03b2) as well as GSDMD. Eugenol may exert neuroprotective effects against AlCl3-induced neurodegeneration by modulating NLRP3 inflammasome, pyroptosis, and TLR4/MyD88/NF-kB signaling pathways.",

Site-specific O-glycans modify linkers of the ligand-binding domains of LRPs. Most linker O-glycans are initiated exclusively by GALNT11, 1 of 20 polypeptide GalNAc-transferase isoenzymes. Here, we investigate the role of GALNT11 linker O-glycans in the large and widely expressed multiligand receptor LRP1. In cell models expressing LRP1 with and without GALNT11, we demonstrate that while the uptake of certain ligands such as RAP and ApoE was unaffected, uptake of neurotoxic tau and amyloid-\u03b2 was altered and in opposite directions. Characterization of LRP1 linker O-glycans indicated incomplete sialic acid capping, a feature that, in MD simulations, enabled inter- and intramolecular interactions. Our findings highlight a potential regulatory mechanism of endocytic receptors and identify the ligand repertoire of LRP1 as influenced by O-glycans, with implications for neurodegenerative disease.",

We previously showed that CD146, an adhesion molecule expressed by endothelial cells, is harbored by macrophages in atherosclerotic plaque and allows to reduce CCL5 and subsequent inflammation. As extracellular vesicles may serve as potential clinical delivery devices, we hypothesized that CD146 extracellular vesicles injection could be atheroprotective. We generated and purified extracellular vesicles from mouse endothelial cells deleted or not with CD146. In vitro stimulation of macrophages with CD146 extracellular vesicles induced macrophage polarization towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype through the STAT3/IL-10 axis, whereas CD146-negative extracellular vesicles did not have any effect. We next tracked the trafficking of labeled extracellular vesicles after intravenous injection in atherosclerotic ApoE-/- mice and visualized their incorporation into atheroma. After bi-weekly injections of extracellular vesicles for 6 weeks, only ApoE-/- mice treated with CD146 extracellular vesicles exhibited a significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque, associated with an anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype. We thus propose that treatment with CD146 extracellular vesicles could constitute a novel therapeutic option for reducing atherosclerosis.",

As populations age worldwide, the epidemiological burden of AD is expected to more than double by 2050, surpassing 150\u00a0million affected individuals. While genetic susceptibility, particularly the apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE4) allele, modulates individual risk, most AD cases are late-onset and shaped by complex interactions between genetic background and modifiable environmental exposures. Environmental pollution has emerged as a critical and potentially preventable contributor to this burden. The 2024 Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care has identified 14 modifiable risk factors, with air pollution explicitly included. Drawing on evidence from human epidemiological cohorts, experimental animal models, and in vitro neuronal/glial systems, the present review aims to synthesize mechanistic evidence linking environmental pollutant classes to AD-relevant neuropathology. The review examines the growing body of evidence linking major categories of environmental pollutants (ambient particulate matter, heavy metals, pesticides, PFAS, and emerging contaminants including microplastics and nanoplastics) to AD risk and pathogenesis. Special attention is given to studies showing that the characteristic neuropathological features of AD may emerge in children and young adults chronically exposed to heavily polluted urban environments, which highlights critical concerns about when and how these changes develop throughout life. Shared mechanistic pathways through which environmental pollutants promote neurodegeneration are discussed, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, blood-brain barrier disruption, tau kinase dysregulation, epigenetic reprogramming, and gut-brain axis dysbiosis. The review also examines the amplifying role of biological aging on neurotoxic vulnerability and proposes a comprehensive, multi-level prevention framework addressing individual exposure reduction, clinical risk identification, and population-level policy interventions.",

However, the mechanisms governing immune-liver crosstalk in this context remain poorly defined. Proline/serine-rich coiled-coil protein 1 (PSRC1) is a known regulator of cholesterol metabolism, but whether macrophage-derived PSRC1 influences hepatic functions via intercellular communication is unknown. The relationship between macrophage PSRC1 and hepatic PCSK9 was examined in patients with coronary artery disease and murine models. We employed AAV6-mediated macrophage-specific targeting and whole-body Psrc1\u207b/\u207b mice to evaluate cell-type-specific effects. Macrophage-hepatocyte communication was investigated using transwell systems and genetic blockade of EV secretion (sh-Rab27a). The selectivity of EV cargo loading was validated by protease protection assays and TSG101 interaction analysis. In vivo EV tracking (DiI-labeling) and ChIP-qPCR for DNMT recruitment were performed to elucidate the systemic and epigenetic mechanisms. Macrophage PSRC1 expression was significantly reduced in atherosclerotic conditions and inversely correlated with hepatic PCSK9 levels. Macrophage-specific PSRC1 depletion alone was sufficient to recapitulate the systemic hypercholesterolemia and accelerated atherosclerosis observed in whole-body knockout models. PSRC1 was found to interact with TSG101 to promote the selective loading of MBD2 into the EV lumen, a process confirmed by protease protection. These MBD2-enriched EVs were preferentially sequestered by the liver after systemic administration. Mechanistically, transferred MBD2 functioned as an epigenetic scaffold, recruiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMT1/3A) to the PCSK9 promoter to drive CpG hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. In vivo, administration of MBD2-enriched EVs significantly reduced hepatic PCSK9 protein, lowered plasma cholesterol, and enhanced plaque stability in ApoE\u207b/\u207b mice. Our findings uncover a novel macrophage-liver epigenetic axis where macrophage PSRC1 controls systemic cholesterol homeostasis by regulating the EV-mediated delivery of MBD2. This \"Reader-recruits-Writer\" mechanism provides a refined understanding of immune-metabolic crosstalk and suggests that engineered EV-based MBD2 delivery represents a promising therapeutic strategy for ASCVD.",

As the majority of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients also show cerebrovascular pathology, we here aimed to dissect the interactions between AD and ischemic brain injury on the microglial response to amyloid beta (A\u03b2) pathology. Unexpectedly, ischemic stroke in the context of cerebral \u03b2-amyloidosis drives the emergence of a neuroprotective microglial phenotype characterized by an ApoE-enriched transcriptional state and enhanced lipid handling. These microglia promote the rapid formation of highly compact A\u03b2 plaques that are relatively inert and strikingly reminiscent of those observed in cognitively resilient AD patients. Our findings thus reveal that the microglial response to A\u03b2 pathology is not a fixed trajectory toward dysfunction, but retains a capacity for beneficial reprogramming when engaged by the appropriate stimulus. Beyond characterizing this comorbid state, our data identify specific molecular pathways, centered on ApoE, complement activation, and lysosomal processing, that may be amenable to therapeutic targeting to promote protective microglial function in AD.",

While blood biomarkers, such as tau, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and A\u03b2 isoforms, reflect AD pathology, the systemic metabolic alterations contributing to the disease remain poorly defined. This study aims to explore associations between plasma metabolites and key protein biomarkers linked to AD pathology in a large, population-based cohort. Plasma levels of A\u03b240, A\u03b242, total-tau (t-tau), and NfL were measured using the highly sensitive Simoa NF-light and N3PA assays (Quanterix platform) among over 3,000 participants from the Rotterdam Study. Plasma metabolites were quantified using the Nightingale NMR-based (n\u2009=\u20092,871) and Metabolon MS-based (n\u2009=\u20091,491) platforms. Multivariable linear regression models, adjusted for demographic, lifestyle, and genetic factors, were applied. Analyses were stratified by sex and APOE genotype. Sensitivity analyses excluded participants with dementia, stroke, or impaired kidney function. Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins across VLDL, LDL, and HDL subclasses were positively associated with both A\u03b2 isoforms. Among them, Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in small VLDL showed the strongest association with A\u03b240 (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.168, FDR\u2009=\u20094.362e-16). Conversely, HDL cholesterol fractions showed inverse associations with A\u03b2. GlycA (\u03b2\u2009>\u20090.097, FDR\u2009<\u20092.092e-05) and creatinine (\u03b2\u2009>\u20090.253, FDR < 3.371e-24) were positively associated with all Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, while albumin was inversely related to tau (\u03b2 = -0.094, FDR\u2009=\u20091.924e-04) and NfL (\u03b2 = -0.079, FDR\u2009=\u20094.210e-05). On the Metabolon platform, S-adenosylhomocysteine (\u03b2\u2009>\u20090.206, FDR\u2009<\u20091.303e-09) was positively associated with all biomarkers, while uridine and 2'-deoxyuridine showed inverse associations with A\u03b240, t-tau, and NfL. Stratified analyses indicated stronger GlycA-tau associations in APOE \u03b52 carriers and sex-specific effects for amino acids and ApoA1. Our findings highlight metabolites involved in lipid transport, inflammation, amino acid metabolism, and methylation as being linked to AD-related protein biomarkers. These results provide novel insights into systemic metabolic pathways underlying AD and suggest that certain metabolites may serve as potential biomarkers for early detection and risk stratification in AD.",

Epidemiological studies associate physical exercise with reduced AD risk (30-45%), yet mechanisms remain incompletely resolved. Preclinical studies demonstrate that exercise-induced myokines (Irisin, BDNF, Cathepsin B) modulate AD pathology by: (1) attenuating amyloid-beta (A\u03b2)/tau accumulation, (2) suppressing neuroinflammation, and (3) enhancing synaptic plasticity. However, human exercise interventions show conflicting results influenced by APOE genotype, age, and exercise modality. Associative human data suggest that Interleukin-6 (IL-6) exemplifies pleiotropy-affording neuroprotective effects in acute contexts but potentially detrimental effects in states of chronic inflammation. Therapeutic hurdles include blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, pleiotropic risks, and patient heterogeneity. Emerging concepts such as combinatorial approaches (nanocarriers, exercise mimetics) and biomarker-driven trials are proposed as hypothetical future strategies; however, these remain unvalidated and require substantial preclinical development before implemented in clinical care. This narrative review is structured around three thematic sections: mechanistic foundations of myokine neuroprotection, translational barriers to therapeutic development, and a strategic framework for future research. The muscle-brain axis represents a compelling but complex therapeutic target. Based on current preclinical and correlational human evidence, future research should prioritize mechanistic rigor, standardized biomarker validation, and clinically viable delivery strategies. Notably, several approaches discussed herein-including nanocarrier delivery systems, exercise mimetics, and combinatorial myokine cocktails-remain speculative and are presented as future research directions rather than established therapeutic interventions.",

As an anti-inflammatory drug, triptolide (TP), a natural diterpenoid from Tripterygium wilfordii, was selected in the current study for treating PS19 (tauP301S transgenic) mice, tauopathy AD mice. In addition, we have previously found that TP had the ability to reduce the level of cholesterol. However, the roles and mechanisms of TP in the above processes are not clear. To this end, we found that elevated cholesterol in serum and brain tissues upregulated the expression of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 3 (CD33), leading to the activation of SH2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1). The activation of SHP-1 inhibits the signaling pathways of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), which results in inhibition of the M2 polarization of microglia, which exacerbates neuroinflammation and cognitive decline in high-cholesterol diet (HCD)-fed mice. Conversely, TP treatment significantly inhibited the hepatic sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2)/3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) pathway, which reduced the cholesterol levels in the serum and brain. By depressing the levels of cholesterol, the axis of CD33 and SHP-1 was suppressed, which resulted in restoration of the activity of JAK1 and STAT6 pathways, leading to the transition of microglia from the M1 to the M2 phenotype. Of note, these observations demonstrate that TP alleviates the cognitive impairment of PS19 mice via depressing neuroinflammation. Altogether, our results revealed the mechanisms of TP in treating AD via CD33/SHP-1/JAK1/STAT6 pathways in a cholesterol-dependent manner.",

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

The gut-brain axis (GBA) integrates neural, immune, and metabolic signaling pathways that influence central neuroinflammation and proteopathy. Recent mechanistic studies demonstrate that gut dysbiosis alters microbial metabolite profiles, promotes microglial immunometabolic reprogramming, and facilitates amyloid and tau pathology. The vagus nerve functions as a bidirectional conduit enabling neural transmission of inflammatory signals and tau propagation directly. Emerging evidence implicates microbiota-derived extracellular vesicles as mediators of peripheral-to-central immune modulation. Human gut-brain organoid platforms now allow causal interrogation of these interactions in physiologically relevant systems.

We present a multi-compartment transcriptomic atlas of 9.6-month-old PS19 tauopathy mice compared with wild-type (WT) controls (n = 8/group), profiling cortical mRNA, cortical non-coding RNA (ncRNA), and plasma small extracellular vesicle (pEV) ncRNA. In the PS19 cortex, mRNA sequencing identified 917 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with microglial deconvolution revealing an association toward disease-associated microglia (DAM) gene signature and downregulation of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation and cholesterol biosynthesis relative to WT. Cortical ncRNA profiling identified 466 differentially expressed ncRNAs, primarily circular RNAs (circRNAs; n = 331). In pEVs, 822 ncRNAs were differentially abundant, of which 657 circRNAs were identified in PS19 compared to WT mice. Cross-compartment integration suggest that pEV miRNA gene targets functionally mirrored genes involved in the brain's inflammatory and metabolic failure. We identified a preliminary candidate signature of 33 ncRNAs, including miR-5114 (up in brain, down in pEV), circ_0008242 and circ_0002153 (up in brain and pEV), and circ_0007688 (down in brain and pEV), differentially enriched across both brain and periphery in PS19 compared to WT mice. These results suggest that the pEV non-coding landscape may partially reflect central tau-mediated changes in the brain transcriptional response. This study identifies circRNAs as the most numerically perturbed ncRNA class and provides a foundation for potential peripheral indicators of central brain tau pathology.",

The Elecsys plasma p-tau217 assay requires further validation, particularly in heterogenous populations seen in memory clinics.ObjectiveTo validate plasma p-tau217 in comparison with p-tau181 and to evaluate its association with other soluble core 1 AD biomarkers, as well as markers of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation.MethodsBiobank data from two prospective blood-based biomarkers validation studies were analyzed. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) p-tau181/A\u03b242 ratio served as the reference standard for AD diagnosis. The diagnostic performance of plasma p-tau217 and p-tau181 was compared. In patients with AD, p-tau217 was further evaluated for its association with CSF (A\u03b242/A\u03b240 ratio, p-tau181, t-tau) and plasma [APOE \u03b54 protein (APOE \u03b54p), NfL (neurofilament light chain), GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein)] biomarkers.ResultsAmong 303 patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, plasma p-tau217 outperformed plasma p-tau181 (AUC 0.93 versus 0.87).

The current study rigorously investigated whether treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs could also alleviate several other neuropathological changes contributing to progressive cognitive decline. Three-month-old male and female 5xFAD mice received IN administrations of either hiPSC-NSC-EVs (~30\u2009\u00d7\u2009109/week for 2\u2009weeks) or vehicle. Two months later, the hippocampus of both male and female 5xFAD mice treated with the vehicle showed increased levels of markers of oxidative stress and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, altered expression of genes and/or proteins linked to mitochondria and autophagy, and diminished neurogenesis. In contrast, treatment with hiPSC-NSC-EVs restored levels of oxidative stress markers and the expression of genes and/or proteins linked to various mitochondrial complexes, mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, and mitophagy closer to na\u00efve control levels, indicating alleviation of mitochondrial impairments. These improvements were accompanied by reduced phosphorylated mTOR levels and multiple autophagy markers matching those in na\u00efve controls, suggesting a dampening of mTOR signaling and an enhancement of autophagy. Furthermore, mice treated with hiPSC-NSC-EVs showed increased hippocampal neurogenesis, associated with enhanced brain-derived neurotrophic factor signaling. Overall, the results highlight that IN administrations of hiPSC-NSC-EVs in the early stages of AD can help slow the progression of multiple neuropathological changes associated with cognitive decline in 5xFAD mice and potentially AD.",

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor composed of HIF-1\u03b1 and HIF-1\u03b2 subunits which, under hypoxic conditions, dimerize and activate hypoxia response element (HRE)-containing genes. HIF-1\u03b1 has been reported to be implicated in neuroinflammation, a key feature of AD. This study evaluated HIF1A and its negative regulator HIF1AN gene expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 308 cognitively healthy older individuals (controls) and 83 AD patients, and their associations with gene expression of HRE-containing inflammatory genes in PBMCs and corresponding protein concentrations in plasma. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from AD patients showed lower gene expression of both HIF1A and HIF1AN compared with controls, and this reduction was associated with higher odds of AD. In the overall cohort, after adjustment for age, sex, Apolipoprotein E \u03b54 status, and diagnosis, HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1), IL-1B, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) gene expression, whereas HIF1AN gene expression was negatively associated with IL-6, IL-1B, and TREM-1 gene expression. Furthermore, HIF1A gene expression was positively associated with plasma IL-1\u03b2 and soluble TREM-1 concentrations, while HIF1AN gene expression was negatively associated with IL-10 concentrations. Overall, these findings support the use of peripheral cells to investigate HIF-1 pathway dysregulation in AD and suggest that altered HIF-1\u03b1 signaling may reflect impaired cellular responsiveness linked to neuroinflammatory processes.",
        "42322185": "ID: 42322185\nTitle: Evaluating emerging amyloid-\u03b2 centric drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: The amyloid cascade hypothesis provided a compelling rationale for Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug development, but many amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2)-targeted agents failed to show benefit. The present review article evaluated emerging A\u03b2-directed therapies, focusing on mechanisms, clinical efficacy, safety, and regulatory progress. The recent approvals of lecanemab and donanemab offered the first convincing evidence that reducing A\u03b2 burden can modestly slow cognitive decline in early AD. Beyond these first-generation monoclonal antibodies, the pipeline includes next-generation antibodies with enhanced brain penetration (trontinemab), therapies designed also for presymptomatic intervention (remternetug tested for secondary prevention), and novel approaches targeting galectin-3 to disrupt A\u03b2 aggregation and neuroinflammation. Active immunotherapies like UB-311 and small molecules such as ALZ-801, avoiding amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA), broaden the therapeutic horizon with potentially safer and more accessible options, but with no proven efficacy. Clinical benefits for A\u03b2-centric therapies are modest, ARIA poses ongoing safety concerns, and high costs coupled with intensive monitoring limit accessibility. Regulators have begun to restrict approval to genetically defined subgroups according to apolipoprotein E genotype, underscoring the need for precision medicine. Therefore, while A\u03b2-centric therapies are incremental, they represent essential steps toward combination and precision strategies in the treatment of AD. Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) is a growing global health problem, with no cure currently available. Most existing treatments only relieve symptoms and do not slow the underlying disease process. One of the earliest and most important biological changes in AD is the buildup of amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2), a protein that forms plaques in the brain. For this reason, many new drugs have been designed to remove A\u03b2 or prevent it from accumulating. In recent years, several A\u03b2-targeting therapies have shown that they can successfully reduce amyloid plaques in the brain. These include monoclonal antibodies given by infusion or injection, vaccines that stimulate the immune system, and oral drugs designed to block the formation of toxic A\u03b2 species. Some of these treatments have reached late-stage clinical trials, and a few have received regulatory approval in certain regions. However, while these drugs clearly reduce amyloid levels, their effects on memory and daily functioning are modest, especially when used after symptoms have already appeared. In addition, treatment can be associated with side effects such as brain swelling or small brain bleeds, requiring frequent medical monitoring, costly for healthcare systems. Most evidence so far comes from carefully controlled randomized clinical trials, and real-world experience remains limited. Current research is therefore shifting toward earlier treatment, including prevention in people at high risk, improved drug delivery methods, and combination approaches that also target other disease processes such as tau pathology, inflammation, and vascular or metabolic changes. New blood-based biomarkers are also making it easier to diagnose AD earlier and to select patients more precisely. Overall, A\u03b2\u2013centered therapies represent an important scientific advance, but they are unlikely to be sufficient on their own. Future progress in AD treatment will depend on better understanding how amyloid may interact with other brain changes, identifying the right patients at the right time, and developing safer, more affordable, and more comprehensive therapeutic strategies.",

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

Unlike other classical neurotropic infections, Leptospira-induced encephalopathy is mainly induced via immune-mediated mechanisms through dysregulation of glial response and peripheral immunity. The onset of infection is marked by the invasion of early innate immune clearance. There is a substantial presence of bacteremia and elevated peripheral inflammation due to the atypical engagement of pattern recognition receptors. The enhanced circulating cytokines and endothelial dysfunction cause blood-brain barrier disruption, along with the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-\u03baB) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. The subpopulations of the glial cells are the primary central nervous system (CNS) populations that undergo activation, such as microglia and astrocytes, to re-establish homeostasis. There is a positive feedback loop activation for the inflammation pathway, with exacerbated cerebral edema and neuronal dysfunction, which are characteristic of AES. The severity of neuronal parasitic disease correlated with immune dysregulation and glial activation rather than the direct Leptospira infection in the neuronal tissue. It may be proposed that the Leptospira-induced AES represents a neuroimmune disorder in which peripheral immune activation and glial-driven neuroinflammation converge to produce acute cerebral dysfunction. Understanding these interconnected pathways is essential for improving diagnosis and developing targeted therapeutic strategies for Leptospirosis/Leptospira-associated AES.",

While chronic opioid exposure induces extensive neuroadaptations, the contribution of brain-derived EVs (BDEVs) remains poorly understood. Here, we isolated BDEVs from the prefrontal cortex of rats chronically exposed to morphine and performed integrated transcriptomic and proteomic profiling of EV cargo. Total RNA sequencing and unbiased proteomics identified morphine-associated changes enriched for pathways related to synaptic plasticity, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial function, and neurodegeneration. Notably, the synaptic plasticity regulator Arc was increased at the mRNA level, and the ER stress marker Hspa5 was upregulated at both transcript and protein levels. Morphine-derived BDEVs induced transcriptional alterations in na\u00efve cortical neurons, including changes in genes linked to synaptic remodeling and excitability. These findings suggest that BDEVs may contribute to opioid-induced neuroadaptations.",

U87 MG cells were transiently transfected with apoE3-or apoE4-expressing plasmids, or transfected with apoE-targeting siRNA in the corresponding knockdown experiments. Phospho-NF-\u03baB p65 (Ser536), phospho-mTOR (Ser2448), phospho-4E-BP1 (Ser65), and phospho-tau (Ser202/Thr205) were assessed by Western blotting, and TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA levels were measured by RT-qPCR. Overexpression of both isoforms increased inflammatory and mTORC1-related signaling relative to vector control. Compared with apoE3, apoE4 overexpression was associated with higher TNF\u03b1 and IL1\u03b2 mRNA expression and higher phospho-tau levels, while differences in phospho-mTOR and phospho-4E-BP1 were not significant. Knockdown reduced these markers in both groups, with lower residual phospho-NF-\u03baB p65, TNF\u03b1, IL1\u03b2, phospho-4E-BP1, and phospho-tau levels in the apoE3-knockdown condition than in the apoE4-knockdown condition. Because apoE4 protein expression was higher than apoE3 in the transient overexpression system, between-isoform differences in the gain-of-function arm should be interpreted cautiously. These cell-based findings support an association between apoE isoforms and differential inflammatory and tau-related signaling linked to mTORC1. However, direct pharmacological or genetic validation of mTORC1 dependency was not performed, so the mechanistic relationship should be interpreted as suggestive rather than definitive.",

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

The APOE4 allele represents one of the most prominent genetic risk factors. In this study, we investigated the impact of APOE4 on the cholinergic neuronal development and on the neuronal inflammatory response to TNF-\u03b1 stimulation. To address this, human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) carrying a homozygous APOE4 genotype and an isogenic APOE3 control were differentiated into cholinergic-like induced neurons (iNs) by LHX8 overexpression. APOE4 was associated with accelerated early neuronal differentiation, as reflected by earlier downregulation of the progenitor marker Nestin. However, delayed expression of synaptophysin indicated impaired synaptic maturation. Functionally, APOE3 iNs exhibited a robust but temporally regulated response to TNF-\u03b1, whereas APOE4 iNs were characterized by a delayed yet sustained induction of inflammatory signaling. Moreover, APOE4 iNs displayed an enhanced stress-associated transcriptional response at early differentiation stages. Collectively, these findings suggest that APOE4 influences both neuronal development and the timing and persistence of inflammatory responses, potentially predisposing cholinergic neurons to later dysfunction in AD.",

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

By transferring a diverse cargo of bioactive molecules, including proteins, RNAs, and organelles, EVs influence recipient cell behavior and overall brain function. In neurodegenerative conditions, glial EVs can either propagate pathogenic signals or deliver neuroprotective and regenerative cues, depending on their cellular origin and molecular composition. This context-dependent heterogeneity highlights the need for physiologically relevant human models to investigate EVs biology. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived glial models provide a disease-relevant platform, as they recapitulate key pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). When further integrated with brain organoid platforms, these iPSC-based systems enable the generation of three-dimensional environments that closely resemble in vivo EVs dynamics. Importantly, glial EVs can modulate cellular pathways involved in neuronal survival and function. Indeed, their potential to interact with and, under specific experimental conditions, traverse the blood-brain barrier (BBB) has contributed to growing interest in their application for biomarker discovery and therapeutic development. Engineered and patient-specific EVs derived from iPSCs are emerging as promising tools for targeted, cell type-specific, therapeutic approaches, although their clinical applicability still requires further validation. This review discusses the emerging evidence supporting the dual role of iPSC-derived glial EVs in health and disease, underscores the translational potential of iPSC-based platforms for mechanistic studies, and outlines their promise as precision medicine tools for diagnostics and therapy.",

Key genetic factors, including APOE, TREM2, and MAPT, contribute to pathological processes such as amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, tau aggregation, neuroinflammation, and synaptic dysfunction. Despite substantial advances in understanding these mechanisms, translating molecular insights into clinically accessible biomarkers remains a major challenge. Radiomics and machine learning (ML) have emerged as promising approaches for extracting high-dimensional quantitative features from medical imaging data and identifying complex patterns associated with disease processes. Radiomic features capture spatial heterogeneity and subtle characteristics of neurodegeneration that are not discernible using conventional imaging analysis. When integrated with ML, these features may serve as noninvasive surrogates of molecular activity, enabling the identification of imaging signatures associated with specific genetic backgrounds and biological pathways. This review aims to explore how radiomics and ML can bridge the gap between genetic and molecular mechanisms and in vivo imaging phenotypes in AD. We summarize current knowledge on genetic determinants and molecular pathways and discuss advances in molecular imaging, particularly tracers targeting amyloid and tau pathology. Furthermore, we analyze the emerging role of radiomics and ML in linking imaging phenotypes with underlying biological processes. This integrative framework may support improved disease stratification, early diagnosis, and prediction of therapeutic response, contributing to the development of precision medicine strategies and future theranostic approaches in Alzheimer's disease.",

APOE is involved in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, phospholipids and other lipids, synaptic function and neuroinflammation in the CNS. One of the key functions of APOE is to bind and deliver newly synthesized cholesterol and lipids to neurons through receptor-mediated endocytosis (LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, APOER2). The APOE gene exists in three common isoforms: APOE2, APOE3, and APOE4, with distinct structural and functional properties. The three isoforms of APOE vary in their potential to bind and transport lipids and cholesterol, receptor affinity and clearance of A\u03b2. Among the three isoforms, APOE4 is one of the strongest risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, while APOE2 exerts a protective role highlighting the functional divergence among isoforms in CNS physiology. The functions of APOE are exerted through binding of APOE with members of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family, including LDLR, LRP1, VLDLR, and APOER2. So, approaches that potentiate the protective effects of APOE, like APOE mimetics, ABCA1 agonists, targeting APOE receptors like LDLR, LRP1, APOER2, and TREM2, might offer significant therapeutic benefits in Alzheimer's disease.",

This study asked whether combined targeting of inflammatory and oxidative stress pathways could offer enhanced neuroprotection in an A\u03b21-42-induced rat model of AD. Tenoxicam, an oxicam-class non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug with COX-linked anti-inflammatory activity, and phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a natural compound known for antioxidant and Nrf2-activating properties, were selected on the basis of their complementary mechanisms; however, their combined potential in this model has not been sufficiently explored, providing the rationale for this hypothesis-driven investigation. Male Wistar rats were assigned to control, disease, standard, tenoxicam, PEITC, and combination treatment groups. Cognitive performance was evaluated using the Morris Water Maze, Y-maze, and Novel Object Recognition tests, while neuroinflammatory and oxidative stress markers, including NF-\u03baB, NLRP3, IL-1\u03b2, Nrf2, catalase, and malondialdehyde, were assessed alongside histopathological examination of hippocampal integrity and molecular docking against COX-2, NF-\u03baB, and NLRP3. A\u03b21-42 administration induced significant cognitive impairment, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal damage. Tenoxicam and PEITC improved behavioral performance, reduced inflammatory signaling, restored antioxidant defenses, and preserved hippocampal architecture, with the combination showing the most pronounced effects. These findings provide preclinical evidence that dual modulation of inflammatory and redox pathways may represent a promising multi-target approach for AD and support further evaluation of this combinatorial strategy.",

This could link metabolic imbalance to Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cognitive decline. The aim of this review is to clarify the roles of adipokines in type 2 diabetes-induced neurodegeneration, their molecular pathways, and the possible neuroprotective potential of antidiabetic agents. Literature was searched in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus for Englishlanguage articles published up to November 2025, using keywords like adipokines, diabetes mellitus, neurodegeneration, neuroinfl ammation, and antidiabetics. Results highlight those elevated levels of pro-infl ammatory adipokines, such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and resistin, together with reduced levels of neuroprotective adipokines, including adiponectin and leptin, may drive NF-kB activation, suppression of Nrf2 signaling, and amyloid and tau pathology. This is further exacerbated by oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Antidiabetic agents like metformin, GLP-1 agonists, thiazolidinediones, and SGLT2 inhibitors restore adipokine balance, enhance AMPK/PPAR\u03b3 signaling, and show cognitive benefits in mild cognitive impairment cohorts per clinical trials.

Microglia sit at the centre of this therapeutic gap. Single-nucleus and spatial profiling has resolved several AD-associated microglial states, yet state labels remain descriptive and do not explain why adaptive engagement becomes maladaptive. We frame AD-relevant microglial dysfunction as checkpoint collapse: progressive failure of regulatory nodes that coordinate lipid sensing, lysosomal competence, neuronal restraint, and inflammatory threshold control. The central nodes are TREM2-mediated lipid and apolipoprotein sensing, progranulin-associated lysosomal regulation, CX3CR1-dependent neuron-microglia restraint, and CD33/Siglec-3 inhibitory tone. When these controls destabilise, downstream pathology can be organised around three coupled effector axes: a lipid axis centred on APOE-biased cholesterol trafficking, ACSL1/DGAT2-driven lipid-droplet accumulation, and impaired lysosomal flux; an iron/ferroptosis axis involving labile iron, phospholipid peroxidation, and insufficient GPX4/FSP1 defences; and an inflammation/complement axis linking NLRP3 activation, type-I interferon signalling, and C1q/C3-dependent synaptic engulfment to tau pathology and synapse loss. White-matter injury, astrocyte-microglia crosstalk, and cGAS-STING-linked senescence are integrated as cross-axis amplifiers. This framework is proposed as a hypothesis-generating scaffold for biomarker-informed translational studies, rather than as a validated clinical stratification system. It may help organise stage-aware therapeutic hypotheses, including regulatory-node preservation in early disease, lipid-handling restoration and ferroptosis control at intermediate stages, and complement- or senescence-directed modulation in later disease. Current glial, iron, inflammatory, and imaging biomarkers remain insufficiently specific to assign individual patients reliably to discrete pathological axes in clinical practice.",

However, aging is a heterogeneous process, and individual organisms age differently. Moreover, within the same organism, cells or organs do not age at the same speed. For instance, neurodegeneration, a hallmark of aging, generally manifests later than other peripheral aging signs. The genetic determinants of aging are not completely understood. Gain-of-function (GoF) mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2GoF) are major genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD). By analyzing PD patients and LRRK2GoF mice, we show that PD represents an accelerated aging disorder driven by STING-dependent inflammation. This inflammation begins peripherally, disrupts the blood-brain barrier, and causes dopaminergic neurodegeneration. Mechanistically, aging or LRRK2GoF causes endolysosomal decline, resulting in cytosolic self-DNA accumulation and the release of DNA-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) that activate the cGAS-STING pathway within and between cells. Our findings identify LRRK2GoF as a key driver of accelerated aging and systemic inflammaging through DNA-containing EVs, highlighting potential therapeutic targets to counteract inflammaging and neurodegeneration.",

Terpenes are a broad class of natural compounds known to possess anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Longifolene (LNF), a major constituent of pine resin is a non -polar sesquiterpene possessing promising anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are pathological drivers of AD. The current work is focused on evaluating the neuroprotective potential of LNF using in vitro cell line-based and in vivo animal-based model for AD. Pre-treatment with LNF at 1, 10 and 100\u202f\u03bcM displayed significant neuroprotective potential in A\u03b21-42 induced neurotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cell-line. Additionally, 0.5 and 1\u202f\u03bcM of LNF significantly prevented ROS generation, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cell-line. Pharmacokinetic studies in rats showed that LNF achieved the therapeutic concentrations in brain. Further, in pharmacodynamic studies, 20 days pre-treatment and 30 days post-treatment with LNF at 10, 50 and 100\u202fmg/kg resulted in dose-dependent improvements in behavioral, biochemical and histopathological parameters in A\u03b21-42 induced AD in rats. Functional assays demonstrated that LNF brought about significant reduction in levels of AChE, TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 levels and elevation in BDNF in the rat brain. Histopathological examination of the cortex and hippocampus showed that LNF at doses of 50 and 100\u202fmg/kg markedly attenuated neuronal swelling and cortical atrophic changes, while preserving the pyramidal layer thickness in the hippocampus. Protein expression studies using Western blot analysis showed that LNF displays anti-AD activity by acting on PI3K/AKT/NF\u03baB pathway.

This pathogenesis is characterized by amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, persistent neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and synaptic dysfunction. Conventional single-target interventions have consistently failed against this complex interplay of molecular events, thereby highlighting the need for multitarget, systems pharmacology approaches capable of simultaneously modulating convergent pathways. Apremilast (APR), an FDA-approved, orally bioavailable phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor, has recently emerged as a favorable drug repurposing candidate capable of elevating intracellular cAMP and triggering a cascade of neuroprotective mechanisms. Preclinical investigations from A\u03b2-challenged neuronal cultures to high-fat diet/streptozotocin-induced rodent models of AD demonstrate that APR attenuates A\u03b2-induced cytotoxicity, improves cognitive performance, and preserves neuronal and synaptic integrity. Mechanistically, APR mitigates NF-\u03baB-mediated neuroinflammation through I\u03baB\u03b1 stabilization, thereby reducing the release of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6; activates the Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant defense pathway, and, via cAMP-dependent PI3K/Akt signaling, inhibits GSK-3\u03b2 to prevent tau hyperphosphorylation, synaptic loss, and neuronal degeneration. This review synthesizes current mechanistic evidence supporting apremilast as a potential multitarget repurposing candidate in AD, thereby addressing key knowledge gaps in the current literature. All supporting evidence was compiled from peer-reviewed sources indexed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Guided by network pharmacology and systems biology frameworks, APR's polypharmacological profile positions it as a compelling multitarget candidate for advanced in vivo validation, human iPSC-derived neuronal studies, and AI-driven therapeutic discovery pipelines.",

Brain targeting depends on a linked sequence: EV ligands and adsorbed protein coronas engage receptor modules, select endocytic routes, determine intracellular fate, and define the therapeutic readouts. These fates include lysosomal degradation, recycling, rare cytosolic delivery, or transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In disease, the same pathways can disseminate proteopathic seeds and amplify neuroinflammation. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) and LDL receptor family members, including low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), regulate tau, \u03b1-synuclein, and amyloid-\u03b2 handling.

This study aimed to determine the relative importance of four plasma biomarkers-phosphorylated tau (p-tau) 217, p-tau181, neurofilament light chain (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-in AD-specific neurodegeneration and cognition. We analyzed cross-sectional data from two independent, ethnically distinct cohorts spanning the clinical spectrum from cognitively unimpaired to dementia: 150 participants from the SAMD cohort (100% Asian) and 284 participants from the ADNI cohort (94.0% White). Plasma biomarker levels were quantified using Single-Molecule Array (Simoa) assays. We employed dominance analysis to determine the hierarchical contributions of these biomarkers to AD signature regions of interest (ROI) thickness (entorhinal, inferior temporal, middle temporal, and fusiform regions), total cognition, and memory, stratified by amyloid-PET status. Three sensitivity analyses were further conducted to validate the findings across these cohorts, mitigating potential biases arising from differences in demographic characteristics and clinical severity. All analyses were adjusted for age, sex, education, and APOE \u03b54 status. The dominance hierarchy differed markedly according to the amyloid status. Plasma GFAP and p-tau217 emerged as the dominant predictors for AD signature ROI thickness and cognitive impairment in amyloid-positive participants. Specifically, GFAP demonstrated superior dominance in explaining cortical atrophy within the SAMD cohort, whereas p-tau217 was the dominant predictor in the ADNI cohort. P-tau217 generally outperformed the others in explaining total cognition and memory in the amyloid (+) group. In contrast, among amyloid (-) participants, plasma NfL showed greater explanatory power than GFAP for both neurodegeneration and cognitive decline across both cohorts. The efficacy of plasma biomarkers in reflecting AD-related neurodegeneration varies significantly depending on the presence of amyloid pathology. While GFAP and p-tau217 are robust indicators of AD-associated changes linked to plaque pathology, NfL better reflects non-specific neurodegeneration involving axonal damage. Consequently, a stratified approach based on amyloid status is essential for the optimal application of blood-based biomarkers in monitoring disease progression and evaluating therapeutic efficacy in future clinical trials and precision medicine.",

Despite decades of research dominated by the amyloid cascade hypothesis, single-target therapies aimed at A\u03b2 or tau have largely failed, underscoring the need for a broader framework. Emerging evidence implicates neuroimmune dysfunction as a central driver of AD pathology, with the \"peripheral-central immune axis\" emerging as a critical node. The APOE4 allele, the strongest genetic risk factor for sporadic AD, plays a pivotal role in both central nervous system (CNS) lipid metabolism and peripheral immune homeostasis. This review synthesizes the association between APOE4 and peripheral immune dysregulation and its impact on neurodegeneration. We discuss APOE expression in CNS and peripheral immune cells, highlighting APOE4-associated alterations in monocyte/macrophage polarization, T cell subsets via IL-7/IL-7R downregulation, and gut microbiota composition. We delineate mechanisms by which APOE4 is associated with blood-brain barrier compromise, may promote conditions for immune cell trafficking, and contributes to neuroinflammation. Integrating preclinical and clinical evidence, we propose an \"APOE4-associated peripheral-central immune infiltration cascade\" as a unifying framework for understanding systemic AD pathogenesis. Finally, we review emerging therapeutic strategies targeting peripheral immunity and APOE, discussing multi-target approaches guided by APOE genotype and immune biomarkers, shifting from a CNS-centric toward a systemic immunomodulatory paradigm for precision medicine.",

However, there is limited understanding of how HERV-K is trafficked in peripheral biofluids, and the role of exosomes, nano-sized extracellular vesicles, in this process remains largely unexplored. Exosomes offer a stable and cell-specific cargo reservoir that may reflect central pathogenic processes and serve as a minimally invasive biomarker source. In this study, we isolated plasma-derived exosomes from ALS patients (n\u2009=\u200921) and healthy controls (n\u2009=\u200916), and quantified exosomal HERV-K gag, env, and pol transcript levels using SYBR Green qPCR with RNase treatment and normalization to both traditional and exosome-enriched reference genes. HERV-K pol expression was significantly elevated in ALS, with fold-changes ranging from 1.59 to 1.85 (P\u2009=\u20090.037-0.051). env and gag also showed increased expression, though with greater variability. Normalization to the exosome-specific gene SOD2 provided the most consistent signal. These findings suggest that exosomal HERV-K transcripts, particularly pol, could serve as accessible biomarkers for patient stratification and treatment monitoring in HERV-K-targeted ALS trials. This work establishes proof-of-concept for using exosomal cargo to track endogenous retroviral activity in neurodegeneration and supports further investigation of liquid biopsy approaches in ALS precision medicine.",

Genetic, single-cell, and spatial studies have shown that Alzheimer 's-associated microglia occupy diverse disease-linked states shaped by amyloid plaques, tau pathology, lipid stress, complement activation, astrocyte signaling, aging, and immune genetic risk. Among the regulatory nodes controlling these states, SPI1, which encodes the myeloid transcription factor PU.1, has emerged as a key determinant of microglial identity and disease responsiveness. Human genetic studies suggest that reduced SPI1 expression may be protective, whereas experimental data indicate that excessive PU.1 suppression can impair essential microglial functions. This review examines the emerging concept that partial, plaque-associated reduction in PU.1 may enable a distinct lymphoid-like immunoregulatory microglial program marked by CD28 expression. Recent evidence suggests that PU.1-low CD28-positive microglia may restrain neuroinflammation and amyloid pathology, raising the possibility that Alzheimer's plaques induce not only inflammatory and phagocytic microglial responses, but also endogenous suppressive programs that limit tissue damage. We discuss this proposed PU.1/CD28 regulatory axis in relation to disease-associated microglia, TREM2-APOE signaling, complement-mediated synapse loss, antigen-presentation pathways, plaque-niche biology, and therapeutic microglial reprogramming. We also highlight major unresolved questions, including whether PU.1-low CD28-positive microglia are present and functional in human Alzheimer's disease, whether they are specific to amyloid-rich niches or extend to tau and mixed pathologies, and how such states could be safely manipulated without disrupting essential immune surveillance. We propose that lymphoid-like suppressive microglia represent a promising but still unproven framework for understanding protective neuroimmune regulation in Alzheimer's disease and for developing state-specific microglial therapies.",

This chapter explores the integrative framework of neurovascular-glia crosstalk, emphasizing how endothelial injury, astrocytic reactivity, and microglial hyperactivation collectively undermine brain energy metabolism. We highlight evidence that blood-brain barrierc (BBB) breakdown, mitochondrial insufficiency, and oxidative stress establish a \"metabolic vulnerability state\" predisposing the AD brain to delirium. Single-cell and transcriptomic analyses delineate shared molecular circuits involving MAPK, TP53, APOE, and \u03b4-secretase (LGMN)-the latter regulated by disease-relevant miRNAs such as miR-124 and miR-146a. These networks couple neuroinflammation with impaired energy dynamics, bridging chronic neurodegeneration and acute encephalopathic stress. We further discuss how tyrosine-kinase signaling, serotonergic dysregulation, and glial-vascular miscommunication coalesce into a unified pathophysiological axis. Therapeutic repurposing strategies-ranging from tyrosine kinase inhibitors (nilotinib, imatinib) to metabolic modulators (metformin, pioglitazone)-offer promising cross-disease interventions. Finally, we underscore the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) in accelerating drug repurposing through integrative omics and pathway-based reasoning. Together, these advances redefine the AD-delirium nexus as a systems-level disorder of energy and communication, opening translational avenues for precision therapeutics that restore neurovascular balance and cognitive resilience.",

Here, we report the development of a high-throughput cellular thermal shift assay (HT-CETSA) platform for identification of small molecule binders targeting the inhibitory immune receptor ILT3 (LILRB4). Screening of \u223c40\u202f000 compounds yielded multiple validated hits, including IB15C, a submicromolar ILT3 binder identified through preliminary structure-activity relationship optimization. Orthogonal validation by microscale thermophoresis, surface plasmon resonance, docking, and site-directed mutagenesis confirmed direct and target-specific ILT3 engagement. Functionally, IB15C disrupted the ILT3-ApoE interaction and restored microglial activity in human iPSC-derived microglia, reducing SHP1/2 and NF-\u03baB signaling, suppressing IL-1\u03b2 secretion, and enhancing A\u03b2 uptake. IB15C also demonstrated favorable in vitro pharmacokinetic and safety properties, supporting further development of ILT3-targeted neuroimmune therapeutics.",

While distinct in their clinical onset, these conditions share overlapping molecular vulnerabilities. This study pioneers an integrative multi-omics framework, combining multi-tissue TWAS, cross-disorder pleiotropy analyses, Mendelian Randomization (MR), predictive machine learning, and BV2 microglial profiling. Crucially, our analysis uncovered a robust \"Dual-Axis\" etiological architecture. First, a systemic metabolic axis emerged as a primary driver, particularly involving FADS2-mediated lipid dysregulation and gut-brain axis interactions. This axis shares mechanisms between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, with Multi-tissue TWAS revealing peripheral contributions (e.g., liver, colon) to CNS pathology. Second, MHC Class II-mediated pathways, driven by HLA-DRA, HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1, and HLA-DQA1, emerged as a transdiagnostic neuroinflammatory nexus across AD, BIP, MDD, and SCZ, orchestrating antigen presentation to CD4+ T-helper cells. To bridge these genomic findings with cellular function, BV2 microglial profiling was performed to provide a cellular-context reference specifically for the identified immune risk component. This cellular model confirmed that the immunogenetic risk burden maps to a specific proinflammatory activation state characterized by upregulated neurotoxins (Lcn2, Nos2, Ccl2) and suppressed lipid transport/phagocytosis (Apoe, Cd68). Machine learning models leveraging these signatures achieved robust predictive performance, particularly for BIP and MDD. MR analyses uncovered causal roles of immune, lipid, and microbial pathways, with shared metabolic signatures (e.g., N-acetylarginine) across disorders. Integration with traditional medicine databases linked lipid metabolism to Artemisia argyi, suggesting novel therapeutic avenues. This integrative approach redefines the molecular framework of these disorders by highlighting systemic metabolic dysregulation and strongly implicating MHC Class II-mediated neuroinflammation as two convergent drivers, advancing precision psychiatry through targeted immunotherapies and metabolic modulators.",

Our prior work identified the protective effects of the apolipoprotein E130-149 (ApoE130-149) peptide in NMOSD mice by promoting astrocyte-microglia intercellular communication. However, its therapeutic potential is restricted due to the limited penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) with systemic administration. Here, we designed a heavy-chain ferritin (HFn)-based nanocarrier containing the ApoE130-149 peptide (HFn-ApoE130-149), specifically engineered for CNS delivery. HFn-ApoE130-149 was constructed through genetic engineering by fusing the coding sequence of HFn with that of the ApoE130-149 peptide in a recombinant plasmid. An acute NMOSD mouse model was induced by transcranial co-injection of AQP4-IgG and human complement (hC) into the brain. The distribution of Cy5.5-labeled HFn-ApoE130-149 post intravenous injection was tracked using in vivo fluorescence imaging to confirm its presence in the brain and peripheral organs. Lesions in the brain were quantified using T2-weighted 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (7T-MRI). Neuropathological features of NMOSD were evaluated by immunostaining of brain sections. Neuroinflammation and immune cell infiltration were analyzed via flow cytometry. The key signaling pathways regulated by HFn-ApoE130-149 were investigated through Western blot (WB) analysis. The interaction between HFn-ApoE130-149 and its receptors was validated through co-immunoprecipitation and visualized on microglia using proximity ligation assay (PLA). Finally, the therapeutic effect on spatial learning and memory was evaluated using the Morris water maze (MWM) test. The HFn-ApoE130-149 effectively crossed the BBB, attenuated lesion progression and demyelination, as well as preserved AQP4 expression and astrocytic integrity in NMOSD mice. The treatment induced a spatial and phenotypic restructuring of the astrocytic response, notably reducing excessive astrocyte accumulation around lesions while encouraging a proliferative and reparative phenotype. Furthermore, HFn-ApoE130-149 influenced microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory state, reducing infiltration of peripheral immune cells. Mechanistically, HFn-ApoE130-149 exerted its anti-inflammatory effects through the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) -nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling axis in microglia. Functional binding of HFn-ApoE130-149 to LRP1 suppressed inhibitor of NF-\u03baB (I\u03baB\u03b1) phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting NF-\u03baB nuclear translocation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1\u03b2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1). Knocking down LRP1 reversed these effects, highlighting the importance of the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis in the nanotherapeutic's efficacy. Treatment with HFn-ApoE130-149 improved spatial learning and rescued memory deficits in NMOSD mice. This study demonstrates that the engineered nanodrug HFn-ApoE130-149 is a promising targeted therapy for alleviating NMOSD pathology by enhancing BBB penetration and suppressing neuroinflammation through the LRP1-NF-\u03baB signaling axis.",

Because currently available pharmacological therapies provide only modest symptomatic benefit, nutrition-based interventions are increasingly being explored as complementary strategies for supporting brain metabolism and cognitive resilience. The KetoFLEX 12/3 dietary pattern, developed within the ReCODE (Reversal of Cognitive Decline) program, is a plant-rich, mildly ketogenic nutrition and lifestyle framework that integrates low-glycemic nutrition, time-restricted eating, and personalized metabolic optimization. The diet emphasizes deeply pigmented non-starchy vegetables, extra-virgin olive oil, nuts and seeds, omega-3-rich seafood, and minimally processed foods while limiting refined carbohydrates, sugars, processed foods, and selected grains and dairy products. Emerging mechanistic and clinical evidence suggests that KetoFLEX 12/3 may influence several pathways relevant to AD pathophysiology, including insulin signaling, mitochondrial bioenergetics, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, autophagy, detoxification pathways, and gut-brain axis function. Observational findings from ReCODE-related studies have reported improvements in metabolic parameters, mood-related outcomes, cognitive measures, and brain volumetrics in participants adhering to multimodal precision-medicine interventions incorporating the KetoFLEX principles. Compared with traditional dietary models such as the Mediterranean or MIND diets, KetoFLEX 12/3 places greater emphasis on mild nutritional ketosis, meal timing, and metabolic personalization based on factors such as ApoE genotype and insulin sensitivity. The objective of this Perspective is to examine the mechanistic rationale, emerging evidence, limitations, and future research priorities for KetoFLEX 12/3 as a precision-nutrition framework for cognitive health in AD. Although much of the current evidence remains mechanistic, observational, or derived from multimodal intervention studies, the framework offers a biologically plausible precision-nutrition model that may inform future research and clinical investigation in cognitive decline.",

Although stem cell-based therapies offer regenerative potential, their clinical application is limited by poor post-transplantation survival, restricted targeted integration, and potential tumorigenicity. Stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (SC-EVs), particularly exosomes, have emerged as a promising cell-free therapeutic approach. These vesicles can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exhibit high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. This review summarizes the cellular origins and biogenesis of SC-EVs and evaluates current preclinical and clinical evidence supporting their therapeutic potential. Particular attention is given to acute ischemic stroke and progressive neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In addition, the molecular mechanisms underlying their neuroprotective and regenerative effects are discussed, with a focus on modulating neuroinflammation, promoting neurogenesis, and enhancing synaptic plasticity. Finally, key advances and major challenges in the clinical translation of SC-EVs are outlined. Integrating current evidence, this review provides a framework and practical perspective for the continued development of SC-EV-based therapies for complex neurological disorders.",

Dehydrocostus lactone (DHE), a blood-brain barrier-permeable sesquiterpene lactone with established anti-inflammatory activity, represents a promising but unexplored therapeutic candidate for ALS/FTD. The therapeutic effects of DHE were evaluated in primary mouse and human astrocytes expressing ALS/FTD-associated RNA-binding protein pathology, ALS patient-derived fibroblasts, and primary cortical neurons exposed to astrocyte-conditioned medium. Drosophila models expressing mutant FUS or TDP-43 in glial cells were used to assess locomotor performance and survival. Molecular analyses examined nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-dependent antioxidant responses, protein aggregation, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory mediator production. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured in patients with sporadic ALS. DHE exerted neuroprotective effects through a dual mechanism involving suppression of NF-\u03baB-dependent inflammatory signaling and activation of NRF2-mediated antioxidant pathways in astrocytes exhibiting FUS or TDP-43 proteinopathy. DHE attenuated astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity and improved neuronal mitochondrial function in conditioned-medium assays. In addition, DHE reduced pathological FUS accumulation in FUS P525L-expressing astrocytes and in stress-challenged patient-derived fibroblasts. In Drosophila models, DHE significantly improved locomotor function and extended survival. Translationally, the chemokines CXCL10, CCL3, and CCL19 were elevated in plasma from patients with ALS, were induced by FUS or TDP-43 pathology in astrocytes, and were suppressed by DHE treatment, supporting the clinical relevance of the inflammatory pathways targeted by DHE. DHE mitigates astrocyte-driven neurotoxicity associated with ALS/FTD-related RNA-binding protein pathology by suppressing inflammatory signaling and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. The consistent therapeutic effects observed across mouse and human cellular models, patient-derived samples, and in vivo Drosophila models support further investigation of DHE as a potential therapeutic strategy for ALS/FTD and highlight astrocyte-mediated signaling pathways as actionable targets in neurodegenerative disease.",

First, we used Mendelian Randomization\u00a0(MR) analysis to clarify the relationship between cholesterol and PD. Subsequently, scRNA-seq and RNA-seq were used to identify the crucial role of astrocyte 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) in this process. Moreover, we verified its downstream target genes by RNA-seq, in vivo and in vitro experiments. The upstream transcriptional regulator of HMGCR was identified by database and validated by luciferase reporter and siRNA knockdown assays. The results of the MR analysis showed that low cholesterol levels may increase the risk of PD. This phenomenon was also observed in the PD mouse model. The scRNA-seq and RNA-seq results showed that astrocyte HMGCR played an important role in PD. Increasing astrocytic HMGCR alleviated cholesterol level and PD-related phenotypes. Mechanistically, astrocytic HMGCR-mediated cholesterol alleviated PD phenotypes by inhibiting Nuclear Factor Kappa-B (NF-\u03baB) neuroinflammation. Furthermore, knocking down Forkhead Box O1 (FOXO1) restored HMGCR expression and cholesterol levels, subsequently inhibiting NF-\u03baB activation. Our research indicated that the cholesterol synthesis disorder in astrocytes driven by HMGCR can exacerbate the pathogenesis of PD by promoting neuroinflammation. Targeting HMGCR in astrocytes will be a potential therapeutic approach.",

Chronic periodontitis has emerged as a modifiable risk factor, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been proposed as important mediators of the periodontal-brain axis. Periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) release bacterial EVs enriched with virulence factors including gingipains, lipopolysaccharide, and regulatory RNAs. These vesicles can enter systemic circulation, interact with the blood-brain barrier, activate microglia, and trigger inflammatory signaling pathways such as NF-\u03baB and NLRP3. These processes contribute to neuroinflammation, amyloid-\u03b2 accumulation, and tau hyperphosphorylation, hallmarks of AD pathology. Host-derived EVs further contribute to this complex signaling network by facilitating intercellular communication and potentially propagating pathogenic proteins while also carrying protective molecules. Preclinical studies suggest that periodontal-derived vesicles can reach the hippocampus and impair cognition, while clinical studies have detected P. gingivalis DNA and gingipains in AD brain tissues. EV-associated biomarkers in blood or cerebrospinal fluid and engineered therapeutic vesicles represent promising tools for early diagnosis and intervention. Targeting oral microbial EVs may therefore offer novel avenues for AD prevention and therapy.",

Inheritance of the apolipoprotein E-e4 ( APOE4) allele of the APOE gene on chromosome 19 remains the greatest genetic risk factor for AD in the typical population, yet its role in DS-associated AD (DS-AD) neuropathogenesis in people with DS is unclear. We generated human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons, astrocytes, and cerebral organoids (COs) using cells from people with DS and from euploid individuals. Aged DS COs were smaller than aged euploid COs and showed robust amyloid-\u03b2 neuropathology that was positively correlated with the levels of apoE expression. We then captured extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the conditioned media of COs and observed a decrease in the levels of secreted AD-related proteins, including amyloid, contained within the EVs and in the media from which the EVs were isolated. We also identified distinct neuronal and astrocytic gene expression signatures in DS COs relative to euploid COs, including a set of genes known to interact with both APOE and APP at the gene and/or protein levels. Lastly, we determined that, despite differences in the expression levels of the specific genes involved, several common pathways were upregulated in T21 hiPSC-derived neurons, astrocytes, and COs, including apoptosis, the endolysosome, and structural stabilization pathways. Taken together, our findings provide novel insights into molecular mechanisms that may contribute to DS-AD and indicate that apoE plays an important role in the disease process.",

Physical exercise is protective against several of these features, but how its peripheral effects produce coordinated changes in the brain remains only partly defined. Soluble exerkines explain part of this benefit, but they act individually, do not protect labile cargo such as RNA, and carry little information about their cell of origin. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer a complementary mechanism. By packaging diverse cargo within a membrane, they co-deliver several signals at once, protect labile cargo in transit, and carry a profile that partly reflects the state and origin of the releasing cell. In this review, we develop a multi-organ signaling framework in which exercise-conditioned EVs link peripheral exercise adaptation to AD-related brain pathology. We examine how exercise reshapes EV biogenesis, the circulating EV pool, and EV engagement with the neurovascular interface. We then map how exercise-conditioned EVs intersect with amyloid aggregation and clearance, tau propagation, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and synaptic and neurogenic resilience, and which tissues contribute to the exercise-responsive EV pool. Several bottlenecks keep the field at the level of association rather than causation, including cargo heterogeneity, uncertain tissue-of-origin attribution, and the gap between describing cargo and demonstrating its function. This framework outlines a realistic, staged route from current associative evidence toward clinical application, in which exercise-conditioned EVs serve first as biomarkers of exercise responsiveness and later as engineered therapeutic platforms for AD.",

However, little is known about the association between maternal EVs during pregnancy and the likelihood of autism in offspring. This study evaluated the association of the concentration and cargo material of EVs in prenatal maternal plasma with childhood autism likelihood. Participants in the Nulliparous Pregnancy Outcomes Study provided maternal plasma at 15-23 weeks' gestational age. EVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation, and concentration, mean size, CD63 levels, and RNA cargo were assessed by nanoparticle tracking analysis, ELISA, and small RNA sequencing. At 4.5-6 years of age, parents completed the Social Communication Questionnaire. Thirty-one children at high-risk for autism were matched to 31 low-risk children on sex, age, and gestational age. Differential RNA transcript analysis and over representation analysis were performed. There were no group differences in CD63 levels, mean particle size, or EV concentration (p>0.1). Nominal bin-level differences were observed at 280-290 nm and 430-440 nm before multiple-comparison correction. One hundred forty-five RNAs, including protein-coding RNAs, piRNAs, lncRNAs, miRNAs, snoRNAs, snRNAs, and tRNAs, were differentially contained, most of them downregulated in those at high risk of autism. These RNAs mapped to pathways involved in immune/inflammatory signaling, intracellular trafficking, protein turnover, and neurodevelopment. Six of the 62 (9.7%) differentially contained protein-coding RNAs overlapped with genes in the SFARI Gene database. Large studies involving individuals diagnosed with autism are needed to evaluate the role of prenatal EVs in the pathogenesis of the condition. Additionally, prenatal sampling of EVs across multiple timepoints and subsequent deconvolution to determine the source of the EVs will strengthen interpretability and veracity of our findings. These findings provide preliminary evidence that maternal prenatal EV RNA cargo is associated with childhood autism likelihood.",

Immunoengineering, broadly defined as the strategic design and manipulation of immune responses, has emerged as an interdisciplinary field integrating immunology, materials science, and biomedical engineering, enabling substantial advances in the precise modulation of immune function. However, conventional immunomodulatory materials-such as synthetic polymers, nanoparticles, and biologically derived matrices-generally function as passive platforms, with limited capacity to dynamically adapt to complex and evolving pathological microenvironments. To address these limitations, living biomaterials have emerged as a transformative paradigm. Among them, microalgae represent a particularly promising and versatile platform, owing to their intrinsic photosynthetic oxygen-generating capability, diverse production of bioactive metabolites, favorable biocompatibility, scalability, and amenability to genetic engineering. Microalgae can alleviate hypoxia, modulate inflammatory signaling pathways, and produce antioxidant and anti-inflammatory metabolites as well as extracellular vesicles, thereby enabling cross-kingdom communication with host systems. Recent advances have further demonstrated their integration with polymers, nanomaterials, and microbial systems to construct multifunctional biohybrid platforms for active and adaptive immune modulation. Despite rapid progress, the field remains fragmented, and a systematic framework for translating microalgae-based living biomaterials into immunomodulatory therapies is still lacking. This review provides a comprehensive overview of microalgae-derived living biomaterials for immunoengineering, including their fundamental biological characteristics and mechanisms of immune regulation, key engineering strategies (such as encapsulation, biohybridization, and genetic engineering), and emerging therapeutic applications.

This study aimed to characterize the expression patterns and functional significance of SLPI in ALS models. The study utilized SOD1G93A mice to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of SLPI expression in the gastrocnemius muscle, lumbar spinal cord, and serum across different disease stages. In vitro functional assays were conducted using siRNA-mediated knockdown of SLPI in BV2 (microglia), MA (astrocytes), and NSC-34 (motor neurons) cell lines. Additionally, recombinant SLPI protein was applied to LPS-stimulated BV2 cells to investigate its effect on the TLR4/ NF-\u03baB signaling pathway. In SOD1G93A mice, SLPI was significantly upregulated in the gastrocnemius muscle from the pre-symptomatic stage (60 days) through the late stage (130 days). In the lumbar spinal cord, SLPI showed a transient initial increase but declined sharply by the end-stage; a similar significant reduction was observed in late-stage serum levels. In vitro, SLPI knockdown exacerbated pro-inflammatory cytokine production in all three cell types and impaired the antioxidant capacity of NSC-34 motor neurons. Mechanistically, recombinant SLPI attenuated inflammation in BV2 cells by modulating the TLR4/NF-\u03baB pathway. The dynamic changes in SLPI levels suggest its potential relevance as a candidate molecule for disease staging. Meanwhile, its protective effects in regulating inflammation suggest that it could be a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating ALS-associated neuroinflammation.",

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

The liver-brain axis underscores the central role of the liver in modulating cognitive function through multidimensional regulatory mechanisms. As a core metabolic and detoxification organ, the liver also helps maintain cerebral homeostasis via pathways including the urea cycle, antioxidant systems, ketone body metabolism, and bile acid regulation. Dysfunction of these processes may lead to ammonia accumulation, exacerbated oxidative stress, and A\u03b2 clearance, thereby accelerating the pathological progression of AD. Liver-derived factors such as apolipoprotein E (APOE), C-reactive protein (CRP), fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) significantly increase the risk of AD through dual mechanisms-inhibiting A\u03b2 clearance and activating neuroinflammation, thereby directly affecting cognitive function via modulation of inflammation, metabolism, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. Neural interfaces formed by the hypothalamic-pituitary-target gland axis and the vagus nerve enable communication from the liver to the brain, with emerging evidence also supporting a reverse influence from the brain to the liver. Emerging technologies such as molecular tracing and nanocarriers provide new tools for deciphering dynamic interactions within the liver-brain axis. Liver-targeted metabolic interventions show potential for reversing cognitive impairment. Unlike previous reviews that mainly focused on single pathways, this review conceptualizes the liver-brain axis as a multidimensional regulatory network in AD. By clearly linking network nodes to potential therapeutic interventions, it provides us with a novel framework that not only describes the various mechanisms but also focuses on identifying actionable targets for disease prevention and treatment.",

Our study shows that LINE, SINE, and LTR/HERV endogenous retroviral elements (EREs) may drive local and systemic inflammation in EwS, and their expression is linked to EWS::FLI1. EREs are not only highly expressed in EwS tumor cells but also disseminated in extracellular vesicles (EVs), selectively targeting blood monocytes and stromal cells and inducing inflammatory responses and immunosuppressive phenotypes. We also demonstrate that some EREs, particularly LINE-1 and HERV-K, retain the ability to encode proteins and to reverse transcribe, coincident with the activation of cGAS-IFN-I, STAT3, and NF-\u03baB antiviral and proinflammatory programs in tumor cells and target monocytes. Treatment with reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitors abacavir (ABC) and lamivudine (3TC) reduced RT activity, inflammatory signaling, and cytokine release, suggesting a potential strategy for overcoming systemic inflammation and immunosuppression in EwS.",

Mounting evidence underscores the gut-lung axis as a critical pathway in pulmonary inflammation, yet how specific commensal bacteria confer distal organ protection remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the gut commensal Odoribacter splanchnicus elicits marked protection against lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice, primarily through its extracellular vesicles (O-EVs). Depletion of O. splanchnicus exacerbated pulmonary damage and inflammatory cytokine release, whereas restoration of its abundance or administration of purified O-EVs significantly attenuated lung injury. Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analyses identified caveolin (Cav1) and carboxylesterase 1d (Ces1d) as critical host targets of O-EVs. We found that O-EVs were associated with enhanced Cav1-Ces1d interaction, which correlated with suppressed activation of NF-\u03baB and STAT3 signaling and decreased levels of downstream pro-inflammatory mediators (TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, iNOS, SOCS3). Concurrently, O-EVs reduced leukotriene B4 (LTB4) production, indicating restraint of Ces1d-associated lipid inflammatory pathways. Lipidomic profiling revealed that O-EVs are enriched in bacterial sphingolipids and anionic phospholipids with immunomodulatory potential. Collectively, these data indicate that the gut bacterium O. splanchnicus acts as a key regulator of gut-lung axis communication, mediating anti-inflammatory protection in acute lung injury through vesicle-dependent modulation of inflammatory signaling, lipid mediators, and immune responses.",

Among valvular pathologies, CAVD is the most prevalent and poses a growing burden on the aging population. Once considered a passive degenerative process, aortic stenosis (AS) is now understood to be an actively regulated disease characterized by progressive leaflet fibrosis, calcification, and inflammation, ultimately leading to left ventricular outflow obstruction and heart failure. Current treatment options are limited to surgical or transcatheter valve replacement, as no pharmacological therapies exist to halt or reverse disease progression. This review frames the discussion around the potential of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as therapeutic targets, rather than implying established therapies. Through the advancement of genetic manipulation techniques and their application in cardiovascular biology, non-coding RNAs have emerged as dynamic regulators of disease pathogenesis. While initial focus centered on microRNAs, recent evidence highlights lncRNAs as critical modulators of gene expression governing valvular interstitial cell (VIC) biology. LncRNAs influence key pathological processes in AS, including osteogenic differentiation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and inflammatory signaling. Furthermore, circulating lncRNAs, either freely circulating or encapsulated within extracellular vesicles, are emerging as novel mediators of intercellular communication within the valve microenvironment and represent promising candidates for diagnostic and prognostic applications, offering the potential for a liquid biopsy approach in AS management. Despite significant advancements in our understanding of non-coding RNA biology, the functional roles of specific lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of aortic stenosis remain largely unexplored. However, emerging evidence from related inflammatory pathways (e.g., NF-\u03baB, MAPK, and JAK/STAT) and other cardiovascular diseases provides a rational basis for investigating the therapeutic potential of lncRNAs in AS, without overstating current knowledge. Elucidating the precise mechanisms by which lncRNAs regulate VIC fate and valvular calcification is crucial for the development of effective targeted interventions aimed at slowing or preventing disease progression and reducing the clinical burden of AS. Key unanswered questions remain: What is the specific lncRNA signature of CAVD? How do individual lncRNAs functionally contribute to disease progression? And how can the delivery and targeting challenges associated with lncRNA-based therapeutics be overcome? This review provides a comprehensive landscape of the current developmental progression of RNA therapeutics, with a specific focus on lncRNA-based strategies as a holistic approach for treating CAVD in preclinical models. Addressing these research priorities will be essential for translating lncRNA-based strategies into clinical applications for this increasingly prevalent disease.",

Here, we found that photobiomodulation (PBM) markedly reduced cerebral CD8+ T cells infiltration in the cortex of AD (APP/PS1 and 3\u00d7Tg) mice, thereby improving cognition, and alleviating AD-related pathology by mitigating neuronal damage and gliosis. Immunofluorescence and transcriptomic analyses revealed that PBM inhibited the release of chemokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines from microglia, reducing endothelial adhesion molecules-mediated T cell migration. Concurrently, reduced secretion of tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1, interleukin-1\u03b1, and complement component 1q by pro-inflammatory microglia further diminished neurotoxic A1 astrocyte induction. Genetic overexpression or pharmacological inhibition further validated that PBM disrupted microglia NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasomes activation, attenuating astrocyte reactivity and T cells recruitment. These findings collectively suggest that the PBM-induced modulation of crosstalk between microglia, astrocytes, and CD8+ T cells is closely related to cognitive improvement. Reprogramming central-peripheral immune crosstalk with PBM resolves neuroinflammation and restores cognition in AD models-a translatable strategy for combating neurodegeneration.",

AD patients frequently experience recurrent systemic inflammatory insults from comorbid conditions, which act as\u00a0\"secondary-hits\" believed to worsen cognitive decline. The impact of these secondary insults \u00a0on astrocyte-mediated neurovascular regulation remains unknown. We applied intravital two-photon microscopy to longitudinally investigate astrocytic Ca2 + dynamics and functional hyperemia during sensory stimulation in APP/PS1dE9 mice before and during secondary lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation. AD mice exhibited diminished stimulation-evoked astrocytic Ca2 + activity, while functional hyperemia remained largely preserved. LPS further suppressed astrocytic Ca2 + responses and produced temporally specific vascular alterations, with AD and wild-type mice following divergent inflammatory trajectories. Our findings provide the first in vivo longitudinal characterization of how secondary systemic inflammation disrupts astrocyte-mediated neurovascular regulation. The selective vulnerability of astrocytic Ca2 + signaling relative to vascular output implicates recurrent inflammatory insults as a clinically relevant contributor to neurovascular dysfunction in preclinical AD.",

This review provides an integrative overview of the molecular and biochemical modulators governing synaptic plasticity and their disruption in AD. We discuss how the collective impairment of A\u03b2 aggregation, tau pathology, calcium imbalance, oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation affects dendritic spine morphology and synaptic connectivity. Particular attention is given to neurotrophins such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor and TrkB signaling, hormonal influences, likewise glucocorticoids, estrogens, testosterone, endocannabinoid pathways, lipid and cholesterol regulators like ApoE and lipid rafts, and epigenetic mechanisms that modulate synaptic resilience. We further evaluate the therapeutic potential of pharmacological agents, including cholinesterase inhibitors, NMDA receptor modulators, and multi-target directed ligands alongside nutraceuticals such as resveratrol, curcumin, omega-3 fatty acids, Withania somnifera, and Bacopa monnieri. Emerging technologies, including iPSC-derived neuronal models, optogenetics, and advanced neuroimaging biomarkers like SV2A PET, cerebrospinal fluid/plasma neurogranin, are also highlighted for their role in elucidating and monitoring synaptic integrity. Ultimately, targeting the biochemical modulators of synaptic plasticity offers a promising avenue for AD therapy, especially through combinatorial and precision-medicine strategies aimed at restoring synaptic function and cognitive performance.",

However, whether their coexistence confers excess dementia risk remains unclear.ObjectiveTo examine the multiplicative and additive interactions between hypertension and KFI in relation to incident dementia and explore potential biological pathways.MethodsWe included 218,858 dementia-free adults followed for a mean of 13.2 years. KFI was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60\u2005mL/min/1.73\u2005m2. Cox proportional hazards models assessed independent associations and multiplicative interaction, while additive interaction was evaluated using the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion (AP), and synergy index (SI). Plasma proteomic data on 2911 proteins were available for 6127 participants.ResultsHypertension was associated with dementia risk (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17-1.31; p\u2009<\u20090.001), whereas KFI was not (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.94-1.11; p\u2009=\u20090.571). A significant multiplicative interaction was observed (p\u2009=\u20090.018). KFI was associated with dementia only among participants with hypertension (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.01-1.29; p\u2009=\u20090.023). A positive additive interaction was also observed (RERI, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.05-0.49; AP, 0.17; 95% CI, 0.05-0.29; SI, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.11-3.07), although it was attenuated after full adjustment. Proteomic analyses implicated immune and inflammatory pathways.ConclusionsHypertension may modify the association between impaired kidney function and dementia risk. Their coexistence may identify individuals at higher risk, but further studies are needed to confirm these findings and clarify the underlying mechanisms.",

While traditionally viewed through a neuron-centric lens, astrocytes express abundant amyloid precursor protein (APP)-predominantly Kunitz-type protease inhibitor (KPI)-containing isoforms-and possess the complete enzymatic machinery for APP processing and A\u03b2 clearance. Astrocytic APP is a stress-responsive signaling molecule regulated by inflammatory, metabolic, excitotoxic, and mechanical insults. Under local tissue stress, reactive astrocytes upregulate APP and shift toward amyloidogenic processing. The resulting bioactive fragments, including A\u03b2, promote astrocyte activation, disrupt homeostatic functions, and trigger feed-forward upregulation of endogenous APP. We propose that this reciprocal coupling establishes a self-reinforcing network where APP integrates local stress and diffusible A\u03b2 propagates reactive states across the astroglial syncytium. This framework positions astrocytic APP signaling as an upstream driver of localized amyloid accumulation, neuroinflammation, and sporadic AD progression.",

Extracellular Hsp90\u03b1 (eHsp90\u03b1) and the ER stress marker GRP78 have been implicated in vascular injury; however, their roles in DAS remain unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 with DAS and explore the underlying mechanisms. We recruited patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with DAS. We then compared the levels and potential efficacies of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 between the two groups. We subsequently conducted cytological experiments and experiments with ApoE-/-\u00a0mice to further explore the underlying mechanisms involved. The serological analysis revealed that the levels of serum eHsp90\u03b1 and the ER stress marker GRP78 were significantly higher in the DAS group than in the DM group and that the eHsp90\u03b1 level was correlated with GRP78 level. The association and preliminary discriminative performance of the combination of eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 levels were appeared higher than that of either marker alone. In addition, GRP78 plays a mediating role in the relationship between eHsp90\u03b1 and DAS. Furthermore, the expression of GRP78 was higher in both diabetic ApoE-/- mice and DAS patients than in control ApoE-/- mice and AS patients. Cytological experiments revealed that eHsp90\u03b1 induced endothelial barrier dysfunction mediated by ER stress via the LRP1 receptor. Our findings suggest that eHsp90\u03b1 and GRP78 are associated with diabetic atherosclerosis and may be associated biomarkers with potential discriminative value, although further validation is required. The eHsp90\u03b1-LRP1-ER stress pathway may contribute to endothelial barrier dysfunction. However, further large-scale and longitudinal studies are required to validate these findings.",

While probiotics show therapeutic potential via the gut brain axis, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigated the neuroprotective potential of Leuconostoc mesenteroides lysate and its bioactive metabolites in an A\u03b2-induced SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma model. SH-SY5Y cells were challenged with A\u03b2 and treated with L. mesenteroides lysate. Neuroprotective effects were evaluated via ROS accumulation, SOD1, APOE, NOS2, and mitochondrial dynamics (MFF, OPA1) using qPCR and WB. Potential mechanisms of action were explored computationally through integrated genome mining (antiSMASH 7.0), molecular docking (CB-Dock2), and systems pharmacology analysis (STRING/KEGG/R-studio) to identify candidate metabolites and host targets. L. mesenteroides lysate significantly attenuated A\u03b2-induced ROS levels and upregulated SOD1, enhancing antioxidant capacity. The lysate effectively downregulated APOE expression and restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing mitochondrial fission (MFF) and promoting fusion (OPA1). In silico analysis predected phytoene as a primary bioactive metabolite with significant theoretical binding affinity for APOE. Systems biology mapping revealed highly significant enrichment in PPAR signaling and cholesterol metabolism pathways (FDR\u2009<\u200910\u207b\u2075). Specifically, Cellular Component analysis highlighted robust interactions within protein-lipid complexes (FDR\u2009=\u20091.98e-16). L. mesenteroides lysate counteracts A\u03b2-induced neurotoxicity by modulating oxidative stress and restoring mitochondrial bioenergetics. Collectively, our findings suggest a theoretical Phytoene-PPAR-APOE signaling axis as a predictive framework for the observed cellular effects. We emphasize that phytoene represents a predicted candidate metabolite requiring future chemical characterization and biological validation.",

In humans, even small, silent strokes can trigger these pathologies, which can spread to brain regions far beyond the infarct and persist chronically, ultimately worsening prognosis and increasing the risk for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The cause of this pathology is unknown, but reactive astrocytes and microglia are likely contributors. Here, we describe an optimized short-duration middle cerebral artery occlusion model that produces a clinically relevant small stroke mostly confined to subcortical regions, similar to many silent strokes in humans. We termed this model the mild subcortical infarct (MSCI). We then mapped the spatiotemporal extent of reactive astrocytes and microglia during the sub-acute period (1, 3, and 7\u2009days) following MSCI. We observed that reactive astrogliosis develops more rapidly and spreads more extensively, compared to the reactive microglia response following this small infarct. Microglial depletion resulted in larger infarct sizes but did not prevent reactive astrocytes. Aging mice exposed to MSCI exhibited a comparably strong response of reactive astrocytes and microglia as young mice. Lastly, reactive astrocytes persisted for at least nine months after MSCI. We propose that this mild ischemia model is valuable for examining the chronic effects of subcortical stroke. It may be especially useful for investigating the functional impact of reactive astrogliosis in regions distal from the primary injury site.",

Although amyloid-beta deposition and tau pathology are the defining pathological features of AD, increasing evidence indicates that immune dysregulation and chronic neuroinflammation also contribute to disease onset and progression. However, the specific immune pathways involved in AD and their mechanistic relevance remain incompletely understood. The major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) antigen processing and presentation pathway has attracted growing attention because of its classical role in adaptive immunity and its potential functions within the central nervous system. In this narrative review, we summarize current evidence linking AD to the MHC-I, or human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I), pathway from genetic, molecular, cellular, and immunological perspectives. Available studies implicate the broader HLA region in AD susceptibility and suggest that alterations in HLA-I-related loci, antigen-processing machinery, MHC-I-associated molecules, and downstream immune responses may contribute to disease heterogeneity. At the molecular and cellular levels, changes in MHC-I molecules, antigen-processing machinery, and associated signaling pathways have been reported in microglia, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglial lineage cells. In parallel, changes involving \u03b22-microglobulin and the presence of expanded or cytotoxic like CD8+ T cells suggest that adaptive immune mechanisms may participate in AD pathology. Nevertheless, direct evidence demonstrating immune responses specific to particular antigens and restricted by HLA-I in human AD remains limited. Overall, current findings indicate that the MHC-I/HLA-I pathway may represent an important component of AD pathophysiology and contribute to disease progression by influencing immune homeostasis and cellular interactions within the central nervous system. Further studies integrating human tissue analysis, immunopeptidomics, spatial profiling, and paired T cell receptor approaches are needed to clarify its mechanistic, biomarker, and therapeutic significance.",

Soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (sTREM2) and chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) are fluid biomarkers of microglial and astrocytic reactivity associated with AD progression. However, their coupling to amyloid and tau pathology, stage-specific roles, and prognostic utility remain unclear. This systematic review synthesized evidence from 2021 to 2025 on associations of sTREM2 and YKL-40 with AD progression. This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Xplore, and Web of Science were searched (Jan 2021-Dec 2025), with citation searching. Duplicates were removed using EndNote X21 (Clarivate, London, UK). Two independent reviewers screened records using the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) criteria, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Original human studies measuring sTREM2 and/or YKL-40 across the AD spectrum were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Due to heterogeneity in study design and outcomes, a narrative synthesis was performed. Thirteen studies were included: seven on sTREM2, five on YKL-40, and one on both. Six were low risk of bias, and seven were moderate. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 showed a biphasic pattern across disease stages, with early potential neuroprotective associations and later correlation with cortical atrophy and cognitive decline. A sex-APOE \u03b54 interaction was observed, with higher levels in female carriers. YKL-40 showed weak amyloid associations but strong coupling with tau pathology and neurodegeneration, influenced by vascular risk factors. Plasma YKL-40 predicted incident dementia and cognitive decline, and serum YKL-40 differentiated early dementia from controls with good diagnostic performance. sTREM2 and YKL-40 represent biologically distinct but complementary neuroinflammatory pathways in AD. sTREM2 reflects a stage-dependent microglial response, while YKL-40 reflects tau-associated astrocytic activation modulated by vascular factors. Longitudinal studies with concurrent biomarker assessment are needed to clarify their combined prognostic value.",

Currently, effective therapeutic strategies for HIE remain limited and require further exploration. Emerging evidence indicates that microglia-mediated neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of HIE. Nevertheless, clinically effective anti-inflammatory agents specifically targeting HIE are still lacking. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is a biologically significant metabolite involved in various cellular metabolic pathways. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of G3P against hypoxic-ischemic (HI)-induced brain injury by modulating microglial activation. In LPS-treated microglia, G3P suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, restored mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and promoted a shift toward an anti-inflammatory microglial phenotype. In addition, G3P treatment in zebrafish showed no toxicity and significantly mitigated HI-induced oxidative stress, while suppressing both the recruitment and pro-inflammatory activation of mpeg1\u207a macrophages and lyzc\u207a neutrophils. Moreover, administration of G3P dramatically reduced infarct volume and alleviated neuronal loss in rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Y-maze and Morris water maze tests demonstrated that G3P treatment significantly enhanced spatial learning and memory in HIBD rats. Furthermore, G3P markedly reduced the hyperactivation of microglia and astrocytes in both cortical and hippocampal regions. Mechanistically, Immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses revealed that G3P exerted anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclic GMP-AMP synthase -stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signalling pathway and its downstream TBK1/the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-\u03baB) signaling pathway. These findings highlight G3P as a promising therapeutic candidate for HIE.",

Neuroinflammation, as an early and sustained driver of AD, places the NLRP3 inflammasome at the center of pathological and therapeutic focus. In this review, we synthesize recent advances in the structure, assembly, and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and evaluate its contribution to AD using evidence from human brain tissues, cerebrospinal fluid, and diverse AD animal models. Available data consistently support aberrant NLRP3 activation in AD brain, where it is closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) deposition, tau pathology, glial reactivity, and cognitive decline. We further discuss the cell-type-specific roles of microglia and astrocytes, highlighting microglia as the principal effector cells in inflammasome-associated pathology. Mechanistically, A\u03b2 and tau converge on NLRP3 activation through interconnected pathways involving K+ efflux, lysosomal rupture, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired autophagy. Downstream IL-1\u03b2, IL-18, and gasdermin D amplify neuroinflammation and neuronal injury. We summarize emerging therapeutic strategies directly targeting its core components or downstream effectors, as well as anti-AD agents with indirect NLRP3 modulation including endogenous molecules, repurposed drugs, and natural products. Collectively, this review regards NLRP3 inflammasome as a critical inflammatory hub and a promising target for disease-modifying therapy in AD, and provide useful perspectives on AD pathogenesis and inform the development of more rational therapeutic strategies.",

However, despite the development of more than 200 rodent models, species-specific differences limit the translational relevance. Brain organoids generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the potential to bridge the gap between transgenic mouse models and clinical trials in human patients. Herein, we describe a robust stimulus-based neuroimmune organoid model that demonstrates neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and lipid dysregulation with AD-relevant pathological markers. Using planar organoids containing neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and vascular cells, we performed in-depth characterization of the induced AD-like phenotype using supernatant proteomic analysis, immunofluorescence staining, NfL and GFAP release, scRNAseq, bulk RNAseq, and pathway analysis both acutely (24 h) and chronically (7 days). Furthermore, we show that the induced neuroinflammation, lipid dysregulation, and neurodegeneration can be ameliorated using small molecules. This defined inducible model system presents an opportunity for drug discovery and development using a complex multicellular brain microenvironment derived from human iPSCs.",

Microglia, the CNS resident immune cells, dynamically transition between protective and pathological states during AD progression. Recent advances in single-cell sequencing and metabolomics reveal that microglial roles extend beyond simple M1/M2 polarization. This review synthesizes these advances into a framework integrating microglial plasticity, metabolic reprogramming, and intercellular communication in AD. Methods: We reviewed recent (2020-2026) studies on microglial biology in AD, focusing on DAM (disease-associated microglia) ontogeny, metabolic reprogramming, immune checkpoints, and glial crosstalk. Results: Microglia exhibit spatiotemporal heterogeneity, shifting from protective phagocytic phenotypes (M2, DAM1/2) in early AD to pro-inflammatory and exhausted states (M1, terminal inflammatory microglia [TIM], lipid droplet-accumulating microglia [LDAM]) as pathology advances. Key pathways-TREM2/SYK phagocytosis, Piezo1 mechanotransduction, TAM (Tyro3, Axl, Mer) receptor signaling, and metabolic regulators (HK2, iron, APOE4-driven lipid metabolism)-orchestrate these transitions. Microglia also interact with astrocytes, T cells, and peripheral immune cells via IL-3, complement C3, MHC-I and MHC-II, forming glial-immune networks that modulate A\u03b2 clearance, tau propagation, and synaptic integrity. Conclusions: Precisely targeting microglial functional states, rather than broad immunosuppression, is a promising disease-modifying strategy for AD. Future therapies should integrate metabolic reprogramming, glial network regulation, and immune checkpoint modulation to preserve protective microglial phenotypes in early AD while suppressing pathological activation and exhaustion in advanced disease.",

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

However, the specific molecular mechanisms linking peripheral immune responses to central pathologies in AD remain unclear. This study aims to systematically screen for reliable plasma biomarkers of AD by integrating transcriptomics, Mendelian randomization (MR) of plasma proteomics, and bioinformatics analyses, and to explore their potential pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic drugs. Transcriptomic sequencing of plasma samples from three AD patients and three healthy controls was first performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and perform functional enrichment analyses. The aim of this study is to provide a preliminary indication of gene expression changes based on real patient samples for subsequent MR and bioinformatics analyses, rather than serving as confirmatory evidence. Following this, two-sample MR was performed to explore the potential causal relationship between plasma proteins and AD in genetic prediction, and MR-positive results were intersected with transcriptome DEGs to identify highconfidence targets. After that, protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, functional enrichment (GO/KEGG), and transcription factor (TF) target network analysis were conducted. Based on the KEGG pathway analysis, the causal association between antibodies related to Epstein-Barr virus and AD in genetic prediction was further evaluated. In the end, the diagnostic power of core biomarkers was validated in the GEO dataset. Potential therapeutic drugs were screened in the CTD database, followed by verification through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation. Our transcriptomic enrichment analysis of DEGs indicates that AD is significantly correlated with viral infection and immune and inflammatory pathways. According to the results of MR analyses, 36 plasma proteins have a causal effect on AD in genetic prediction. Among these 36 targets, two pathways are identified as enriched: \"EBV Infection\" and \"Efferocytosis\". Seven core targets are CR2, ICAM1, TAPBP, TNFAIP3, THBS1, SCARF1, and SIRPG. Also, the concentration of antibodies against EBV EBNA-1 and VCA p18 was confirmed by MR analyses to be risk factors for AD. According to drug predictions, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations, resveratrol can stabilize CR2. This study systematically identifies major plasma immune biomarkers associated with AD and proposes a mechanism by which EBV infection regulates plasma proteins CR2, TNFAIP3, and THBS1, which may affect AD risk. Resveratrol is thought to have preventive and protective effects, as predicted computationally. This study systematically identified key plasma markers associated with AD. Resveratrol is likely to become a potentially effective preventive and protective drug in the prevention and treatment of AD, providing new ideas and targets for immune intervention of AD.",

However, persistent or dysregulated inflammation contributes significantly to the progression of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent advances in RNA biology have identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, as key modulators of inflammatory signaling networks. These RNA molecules regulate key pathways such as NF-\u03baB, STAT3, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT, thereby influencing immune responses, tumor progression, neuronal survival, and cellular stress adaptation. In parallel, RNA-sensing receptors, including Toll-like receptors and RIG-I-like receptors, connect innate immune activation with chronic inflammatory pathology. Emerging evidence further demonstrates that inflammatory RNAs participate in epigenetic regulation, intercellular communication, and inter-organ crosstalk through extracellular vesicles and exosomes. In cancer, RNA-mediated feedback loops sustain tumor-promoting inflammation, metastasis, and immune evasion, whereas in neurodegenerative disorders, they contribute to glial activation, neuronal dysfunction, and progressive neuroinflammation. This review examines the mechanistic relationship between RNA dysregulation and inflammation across cancer and neurodegeneration, with particular emphasis on RNA signaling networks, exosomal communication, and targeted RNA-based therapeutics. Collectively, advances in understanding the RNA-inflammation axis may reveal new opportunities for precision diagnostics and next generation therapeutic interventions.",

Milk-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain bioactive microRNAs and have recently attracted attention as modulators of intestinal homeostasis. This study investigated the effect of bovine milk-derived extracellular vesicles (B-mEVs) in ameliorating MASH by improving intestinal barrier function. C57BL/6J mice fed a choline-deficient amino acid-defined high-fat diet (CDA-HFD) were orally treated with B-mEVs, and therapeutic effects were evaluated. Liver histology, fibrosis, portal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels, intestinal permeability, and gut microbiota composition were evaluated. The direct effects of B-mEVs on intestinal barrier function were assessed using palmitic acid-stimulated Caco-2 cells. Small RNA sequencing and microRNA enrichment analyses were performed to characterize B-mEV cargo. B-mEV treatment attenuated hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in CDA-HFD-fed mice and reduced serum aminotransferase levels, portal LPS concentrations, hepatic macrophage accumulation, and hepatic TLR4/NF-\u03baB signaling activation. Meanwhile, B-mEVs restored intestinal tight junction proteins, including ZO-1, occludin, and claudin-1, and improved intestinal permeability in vivo. In Caco-2 cells, B-mEVs attenuated palmitic acid-induced barrier dysfunction and suppressed myosin light chain kinase expression. Gut microbiota analysis revealed partial restoration of Akkermansia abundance after B-mEV administration. Furthermore, to explore the molecular basis of these protective effects, small RNA sequencing demonstrated enrichment of regulatory microRNAs, including let-7a-5p, and pathway analyses identified associations with intestinal barrier and inflammatory signaling pathways. B-mEVs ameliorated CDA-HFD-induced steatohepatitis by restoring intestinal barrier integrity and suppressing gut-derived LPS/TLR4 inflammatory signaling. These findings suggested that milk EVs may represent a novel gut-liver axis-targeted therapeutic strategy for MASH.",

This underscores the urgent need for validated and clinically applicable biomarkers. Research continues to expand our knowledge of fluid biomarkers for detecting and monitoring PD progression. Cerebrospinal fluid \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn) seed amplification assays (SAA) have emerged as highly sensitive and specific biomarkers for the diagnosis of PD. The development of less invasive procedures using biological fluids such as serum or saliva would be more practical for routine clinical use. Recent data demonstrate the presence of pathogenic \u03b1-synuclein in the serum of PD patients compared with healthy controls, detected using real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assays. Elevated ratios of pS129-\u03b1-syn and/or oligomeric \u03b1-syn to total \u03b1-syn have also been reported in PD. Future research should clarify differences in protein aggregate formation across various synucleinopathies. Promising advances toward a clinically useful blood-based diagnostic test for PD include the quantification of proteins released from neural-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs), such as oligomeric and phosphorylated \u03b1-syn, tau, and disease-associated microRNAs. Given the role of neuroinflammation in PD pathogenesis, inflammatory biomarkers, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1(TNF-\u03b1), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), are under active investigation. Furthermore, fluid biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease pathology are being explored for their potential to predict motor and cognitive decline in PD and related synucleinopathies. Salivary EVs hold promise as a non-invasive source of PD biomarkers; however, robust validation in large, well-characterized cohorts is essential to improve the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of PD.",
        "42518751": "ID: 42518751\nTitle: Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease-associated sensory dysfunction: mechanistic links, actionable targets and therapeutic strategies.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and major public-health challenge in aging societies worldwide. Accumulating evidence suggests that olfactory and visual deficits can precede overt cognitive symptoms and are closely associated with amyloid-\u03b2 deposition, pathological tau phosphorylation, and disease progression. Early sensory abnormalities in AD likely arise from converging pathological processes. Among these, chronic neuroinflammation marked by microglial and astrocytic reactivity, inflammasome activation and increased pro-inflammatory mediators might play a pivotal role linking sensory-circuit injury to neurodegeneration. A coherent synthesis of the inflammatory mechanisms underlying early olfactory and visual impairment in AD remains limited, and putative molecular pathways and interventions have not been fully integrated. We aimed to identify AD-related olfactory and visual or retinal abnormalities, combine core inflammatory pathways and their interactions with amyloid-\u03b2 and tau pathology, and summarize actionable targets and candidate interventions along a \"receptor-intracellular signaling-inflammasome-effector\" axis, to inform earlier-stage detection and mechanism-guided intervention in AD.",

While AD research has traditionally focused on the brain, increasing evidence suggests that the retina undergoes pathological remodeling that shares features with cerebral changes. Advances in retinal imaging, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, and hyperspectral approaches, have identified structural, vascular, and functional abnormalities in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage AD. This supports the potential utility of the retina as a non-invasive biomarker for detecting neurodegenerative processes. Furthermore, postmortem studies have demonstrated accumulation of amyloid-\u03b2 and phosphorylated tau, increased vulnerability of retinal ganglion cells (RGC), synaptic alterations in the inner plexiform layer (IPL), and significant activation of glial cells and complement-mediated inflammatory pathways. Melanopsin RGCs appear to be selectively affected, suggesting a mechanistic link between retinal pathology and the circadian or sleep disturbances commonly observed in AD. This review synthesizes human clinical data from imaging, histopathological, and proteomic studies supporting retinal involvement in AD, with emphasis on convergent mechanisms, including mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, microglial activation, and synaptic degeneration. Key limitations and sources of variation in current retinal biomarker studies, including cohort heterogeneity, comorbid ocular disease, and methodological variability, are discussed, and future directions are outlined to strengthen retinal diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring of visual system dysfunction in AD.",

While amyloid beta (A\u03b2) peptides are established contributors to neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease, their role in aging-related subclinical inflammation remains insufficiently elucidated. In humans, A\u03b2 exhibits dual functions: it supports neuronal activity, survival, and protection against neurotrauma, while also promoting inflammation and central nervous system dysfunction. This review highlights the beneficial effects of A\u03b2, including its antioxidant and antipathogenic properties, and synthesizes current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms driving A\u03b2-associated inflammaging. We structure this analysis across distinct brain cell types - microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, neurons, pericytes, and endothelial cells - and consider additional factors influencing A\u03b2-related neuroinflammation. Finally, we examine strategies to counteract the detrimental effects of A\u03b2, focusing on A\u03b2 physiological clearance via the blood-brain barrier and glymphatic system, as well as therapeutic interventions. Understanding A\u03b2-driven inflammaging mechanisms offers new therapeutic avenues for early intervention in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in genetically susceptible populations. Targeting A\u03b2-associated inflammaging reframes A\u03b2 not solely as a pathological marker but also as a context-dependent contributor to inflammatory processes during brain aging.",

Generalized Linear Models and Predictive Power Score analyses, with statistical prioritization, identified lncRNAs associated to AD neuropsychological architecture.ResultsSeveral lncRNAs share strongly associated with cognitive performance and AD severity, mapping to genes involved in key AD-related molecular processes, including synaptic and neurotransmitter regulation (e.g., EPHB1, CHRNA4, TEAD1), protein homeostasis and A\u03b2 pathology (e.g., FBXL2, FAM221A, APP), mitochondrial function and cellular stress (e.g., VDAC3, PPT2-EGFL8), neuroinflammation and immune regulation (e.g., TEAD1, EMX2OS, LY6E-DT), epigenetic and transcriptional control (e.g., PRDM2, DLEU1, FIRRE), neuronal excitability (e.g., KCNJ14), and neuroprotection and synaptic plasticity (e.g., SIL1). Novel associations included ferroptosis, DNA stability, microtubule dynamics, and dendritic orientation (e.g., BTB3, DICER1, GNG7, IBA57, NEAT1, POT1, SRD5A3).ConclusionsWe identify candidate lncRNA signatures that may serve as potential biomarkers and enhance our understanding of the molecular basis of the cognitive architecture in AD, opening new avenues for biomarker identification and targeted therapeutic strategies development.

Cholesterol supports neuronal membrane structure, synapse formation, synaptic vesicle activity, receptor signaling, and myelin integrity. Because the blood-brain barrier limits the entry of peripheral lipoproteins, the brain relies mainly on local cholesterol synthesis, transport, recycling, and turnover. This review examines the mechanisms that regulate astrocyte-to-neuron cholesterol transfer and explains how defects in SREBP-dependent synthesis, ApoE lipidation, ABC transporter-mediated export, neuronal uptake, intracellular trafficking, and cholesterol turnover contribute to synaptic dysfunction and neurodegeneration. In the adult brain, astrocytes are an important source of cholesterol for neurons. Astrocytic cholesterol synthesis is regulated by sterol regulatory element-binding proteins, which control the expression of key cholesterol-biosynthetic genes. Astrocytes release cholesterol in ApoE-containing lipoprotein particles through ATP-binding cassette transporters. Neurons acquire astrocyte-derived cholesterol through LDLR/LRP1, redistribute it via NPC1/NPC2, and eliminate excess cholesterol as 24 S-hydroxycholesterol through CYP46A1. Disruption of this pathway impairs membrane organization, lipid raft signaling, synaptic function, and neuronal survival. These disturbances are associated with Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis.",

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

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

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

Glial cells, comprising microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, serve as key immune regulators in the central nervous system, where they are essential for maintaining ALP homeostasis, promoting proteostasis, and modulating neuroinflammatory responses.

These vectors include: synthetic nanoparticles that mimic essential cellular activities and allow for modular surface modification; extracellular vesicles that naturally carry therapeutic cargo and exhibit parent-cell-derived tropism; and living therapeutics, such as engineered microbes, viruses or stem cells, that respond dynamically to host environments and can be genetically programmed for precise payload production. Emphasis is placed on the modular design of functional components, host-responsive interactions tailored to anatomical and physiological cues, and the integration of programmable functions that collectively drive delivery autonomy and therapeutic efficacy. Together, these advances position intranasal delivery as a versatile platform for treating neurological disorders, offering a foundation for future translational development.",

Here, we investigated the role of neutrophils in hepatic lipid deposition during early MASLD development. Neutrophils acquired extracellular fatty acids (FAs) via FATP2 and CD36 and stored them as triglycerides (TGs). These lipid-laden neutrophils (LNs) did not utilize FAs for energy production or lipid mediator synthesis but instead transferred lipid cargo to hepatocytes through extracellular vesicles (EVs). Neutrophil-derived EVs were enriched with TGs and lipid metabolism-regulating microRNAs, augmenting TG accumulation in hepatocytes. Peripheral neutrophils isolated from high-fat diet-fed mice exhibited a lipid-laden phenotype, and adoptive transfer of LNs and EVs derived from LNs increased hepatic fat accumulation in recipient mice. In patients with MASLD, circulating neutrophils showed lipid droplet accumulation with increased TGs and enrichment of lipid-associated miRNAs while plasma EVs were also enriched with TGs and lipid-associated miRNAs. Single-cell RNA sequencing of peripheral immune cells identified a neutrophil subpopulation characterized by enhanced lipid-handling and EV-related gene expression. These findings identify neutrophil-mediated lipid transfer via EVs as a mechanistic link between innate immune activation and hepatic lipid accumulation during early MASLD.",

Nrf2 is a master controller of homeostatic functions whose activity is compromised in AD. Most pharmacological Nrf2 activators are electrophilic molecules that covalently modify cysteine residues in the thiol-rich Keap1, and many are Michael acceptors, such as low-molecular-weight (LMW) skin allergens. However, LMW allergens-induced Nrf2 activation in a pharmacological setting has only recently attracted attention, exemplified by the clinical success of Dimethyl Fumarate. Hence, we investigated, for the first time, the potential of the skin allergen Isoeugenol to activate Nrf2 and reverse selected AD hallmarks, both in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo, in AD-specific models. In\u00a0vitro studies were performed using microglia cells exposed to LPS and neuronal cells overexpressing human APP with Swedish mutation, to evaluate Isoeugenol's potential in decreasing neuroinflammation and activating the Nrf2 pathway, respectively. In\u00a0vivo studies were conducted in 10-month-old AD double-transgenic mice (APP/PS1), which were intranasally administered Isougenol. Isoeugenol's pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile, and its effect on mice cognition were evaluated. The results showed that Isoeugenol (1) activated Nrf2 in AD neuronal cells (likely involving AKT signaling); (2) exhibited antioxidant and Nrf2-dependent anti-inflammatory activity, which was abolished after Nrf2 silencing; (3) exhibited good pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles; (4) reduced the levels of A\u03b2 peptides in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo; (5) reduced triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels in treated mice; and (6) improved the memory deficits in old mice. This is the first study reporting Isoeugenol's intranasal administration, and on specific AD mice models. Overall, the results reinforce Isoeugenol as a pleiotropic molecule, with great potential for AD treatment.",

This study relates cardiac output to longitudinal gray matter volumes among middle-aged and older adults over an 11-year period. Linear regression (cross-sectional) and mixed effects (longitudinal) models related baseline cardiac output to gray matter volume trajectory, adjusting for demographic factors. Secondary models tested cardiac output \u00d7 apolipoprotein E (APOE) -\u03b54 status interactions. Lower cardiac output related to smaller brain volumes (p-values\u00a0<\u00a00.04) in APOE-\u03b54 positive participants only. In longitudinal models, baseline cardiac output interacted with APOE-\u03b54 status (p\u00a0=\u00a00.006). Lower baseline cardiac output related to greater increase in inferior lateral ventricle volume over time in APOE-\u03b54 carriers (p\u00a0=\u00a00.01) only. Results suggest among APOE-\u03b54 carriers, subclinical cardiac dysfunction relates to greater neurodegeneration cross-sectionally and longitudinally.

Despite numerous studies of vesicles from model glioblastoma (GBM) cells, information on the effects of vesicles from GBM patients on the development of model GB cells is lacking. In this study, plasma vesicles from healthy donors (HVs) and GBM patients (GVs) were studied to affect expression of differentiation (GFAP and GLT-1) and stemness (CD9 and CD133) markers and expression and activation of the oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases EGFR and PDGFR\u03b2 in GBM cells (primary GBM011 and model U251 MG cell lines) and rat and human normal astrocytes. GVs reduced GFAP expression in GBM011 cells and stimulated GFAP and CD9 expression in U251 MG cells. GVs increased EGFR and PDGFR\u03b2 expression in both GBM cell lines and enhanced EGFR (Y1086) and PDGFR\u03b2 (Y751) phosphorylation in U251 MG cells. HVs stimulated CD9 expression in U251 MG cells and PDGFR\u03b2 expression in GBM011 cells, but decreased EGFR and PDGFR\u03b2 expression in U251 MG cells.

We evaluated dementia incidence and examined the associations of sex, race and ethnicity, and APOE genotype with dementia risk after age 90 years using data from LifeAfter90, an ongoing prospective cohort study. LifeAfter90 is a prospective cohort study that enrolled Kaiser Permanente Northern California members, who were at least 90 years old, from the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento, USA. Participants were clinically evaluated every 6 months from July 17, 2018, to Nov 9, 2024, in person or remotely. Incident all-cause dementia was diagnosed by a combination of physician assessment, Clinical Dementia Rating, and a Functional Activities Questionnaire. Sex, race and ethnicity, and education were captured during in-person assessments; APOE genotyping was performed using salivary DNA. We estimated age-standardised dementia incidence rates and used age-adjusted Cox and Fine-Gray competing-risk models to study the association between sex, race and ethnicity, APOE genotype, and dementia. The Fine-Gray subdistribution hazard ratio (sHR) models treated death as a competing risk. Models were adjusted for age (time-scale) and individuals were followed until dementia diagnosis or end of follow-up. Of 1120 individuals initially available, 96 with prevalent dementia and 219 with only one clinical evaluation were excluded; 805 participants were included. Median age was 92 years (range 90-103), 494 (61%) were female, 209 (26%) Asian, 191 (24%) African American or Black, 157 (20%) Hispanic or Latinx, 228 (28%) White, and 20 (2%) from other racial or ethnic groups; 413 had APOE data. During mean follow-up of 2 years (SD 1\u00b77), 138 (17%) developed dementia and 295 (37%) died. The age-standardised incidence rate was 116\u00b782 cases per 1000 person-years (95% CI 93\u00b769-139\u00b796). In Fine-Gray models, dementia risk was higher in female than in male participants (subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR] 1\u00b789, 95% CI 1\u00b730-2\u00b776) and Black than Asian participants (sHR 1\u00b775, 1\u00b707-2\u00b788), lower in APOE \u03b52 carriers than in non-carriers (sHR 0\u00b739, 0\u00b717-0\u00b788), and not significantly higher in APOE \u03b54 carriers than in non-carriers (sHR 1\u00b751, 0\u00b792-2\u00b747). No significant differences were found by education. Ethnoracial disparities in dementia risk appear to persist after 90 years, and the association between APOE \u03b54 and dementia might differ by sex. These findings reinforce the importance of dementia screening and surveillance, even among people with exceptional longevity. National Institute on Aging.",

Traditionally defined by amyloid-\u03b2 and tau pathology, it's increasingly recognized as a systems disorder in which impaired glucose metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation interact across neural cell types and disease stages. However, the interaction among these three mechanisms, their role in promoting the classical pathology of AD, and their verification in major neural cell types remains unclear. This review summarizes the alterations in glucose metabolism and mitochondrial metabolism in neurons, astrocytes and microglia in AD and their relationship with neuroinflammation, while also discussing some unaddressed questions, outlining therapeutic strategies, and future promising directions. Biomarkers that reflect disease stage and pathological status, multitarget therapeutic strategies, individualized precision medicine, and the integration of pharmacological with non-pharmacological interventions represent particularly promising directions for the future.",

Preclinical and clinical studies assessing EV-related molecular signatures, biological functions, and diagnostic utilities in PD were included without restriction on publication date. Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases were searched. A narrative-scoping approach was adopted to integrate heterogeneous evidence. Findings were synthesized qualitatively owing to variability in methodologies, EV isolation methods, and analytical systems. Growing evidence supports salivary and GCF EVs as robust, non-invasive biomarkers capable of capturing real-time PD activity. EV payload reflects host-microbial interplay, immune-inflammatory signaling, and tissue remodeling mechanisms, with salivary EVs offering oral and systemic understanding, and GCF-EVs providing site-specific resolution closely linked with clinical parameters. Beyond diagnostic significance, selected EV components exhibit potential mechanistic roles in PD pathogenesis, indicating a dual function as biological mediators and biomarkers. Nevertheless, existing literature remains mainly associative, restricted by small sample size, methodological variability, and lack of standardized methods. Future research should prioritize longitudinal designs, large-scale validation, and integrated multi-omics strategies to allow predictive modeling and clinical application. Salivary and GCF EVs allow real-time, non-invasive PD identification and monitoring, outperforming conventional approaches that reflect past injury. Their systemic and site-specific insights facilitate early diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized therapy, while clinical adoption mandates standardization and large-scale validation.",

Years before overt cognitive or motor symptoms emerge, neurons begin to experience impaired glucose utilization, mitochondrial dysfunction, and declining ATP production. Because the brain is highly energy-dependent, even subtle metabolic disturbances can disrupt synaptic function, impair neuronal signaling, and trigger oxidative stress. As mitochondrial efficiency declines, reactive oxygen species accumulate, inflammatory pathways become chronically activated, and damaged cellular components are insufficiently cleared, creating a vicious cycle that accelerates neurodegeneration. Conventional metabolic therapies, including antioxidants and mitochondrial cofactors, have produced limited clinical success, largely due to poor penetration across the blood-brain barrier and lack of specificity for vulnerable neuronal populations and intracellular targets such as mitochondria. Nanotechnology introduces a more precise therapeutic strategy by enabling targeted delivery of metabolic modulators directly to the brain. Engineered nanocarriers can be designed to cross biological barriers, enhance drug stability, and release therapeutic agents in a controlled or stimuli-responsive manner within diseased regions. Advanced systems including polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based carriers, intranasal nano formulations, biomimetic vesicles, and catalytic nanozymes offer the ability to simultaneously modulate oxidative stress, restore mitochondrial function, and regulate neuroinflammation. By integrating delivery precision with metabolic intervention, neuro-nanomedicine shifts the therapeutic focus from symptomatic management toward addressing the underlying bioenergetic crisis. Although challenges remain in safety validation, scalability, and clinical translation, targeted nanotherapeutic strategies hold significant promise for transforming the treatment landscape of these debilitating neurodegenerative disorders.",
        "42552048": "ID: 42552048\nTitle: Energetic crisis, mitochondrial vulnerability and disruption of lactate shuttle in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has traditionally been characterized by amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Emerging evidence reveals that metabolic dysfunction represents a key pathological feature central to disease progression. Mitochondrial dysfunction in AD leads to impaired electron transport chain activity and reduced level of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, preceding neurodegeneration and structural abnormalities in cognitive centres of the brain. Early glucose hypometabolism and lactate deprivation or interference with their utilization represent a primary bioenergetic failure driving mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation prior to the clinical manifestation of AD. While the brain relies on lactate as a prominent energy substrate, astrocytic metabolic defects lead to impaired neuronal energy homeostasis, thereby promoting neurodegeneration. In turn, this metabolic uncoupling could also be associated with defects in regenerative mechanisms by impairing adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus due to energy deprivation, accounting for memory deficits. This chapter discusses the evidence for the energetic crisis in AD, focusing on the disruption of the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle (ANLS), hypometabolism of glucose, and mitochondrial vulnerability, as interconnected pathogenic mechanisms. We emphasise cerebral bioenergetic metabolic failure as a central driver of cognitive decline, arising from irreversible reactive gliosis and neuroblastosis mechanisms and highlight various therapeutic options, including restoration of ANLS to mitigate the pathogenesis and memory loss in AD.",

Especially, prolonged incorporation of mature microglia and studies of neuroinflammation have proven challenging. Here, we developed a human induced pluripotent stem cell-based three-dimensional cortical brain tissue model (3BTM) containing neurons, astrocytes and microglia with high reproducibility, maturity and viability. 3BTMs show morphological, functional and proteomic maturation of all cell types, leading to high similarity to their in vivo counterparts. Incorporated microglia survive for over 6 months and display mature morphology, functions and gene expression. Importantly, when engineered to model Alzheimer's disease pathology, 3BTMs recapitulate key disease hallmarks, including amyloid deposition, increased phospho-tau levels and neuroinflammation, with microglia shifting their transcriptional landscape to disease-relevant signatures. Treatment of Alzheimer's disease 3BTMs with anti-A\u03b2 immunotherapy cleared deposits and largely reversed disease signatures in glia.

A standardized dementia PRS was evaluated in the Chicago Health and Aging Project (n\u00a0=\u00a04336; 61% AA) for associations with ADRD and cognitive trajectories over 8.4 years. PRS predicted ADRD more strongly in EUs (c-index 0.86) than AAs (0.77); however, it conferred higher risk in AAs (hazard ratio [HR]\u00a0=\u00a01.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04-1.78) compared to EU (HR\u00a0=\u00a01.13, 95% CI: 0.88-1.44).

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

This review synthesizes advances across four complementary domains - targeted cognitive assessments, imaging biomarkers, molecular fluid biomarkers, and ecological behavioral characteristics - conceptualized as the TIME framework. Emerging markers, including the peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD), oxygen extraction fraction, brain-derived extracellular vesicles, and digital gait metrics, enable the detection of microvascular injury before overt cognitive decline. Given the limitations of single modalities, we advocate for multimodal integration via machine learning to capture the disease continuum from vascular insult to clinical impairment.

However, longitudinal evidence regarding the cognitive impact of COVID-19 in patients with AD remains scarce, and this interaction requires further clarification.ObjectiveTo explore whether COVID-19 accelerates cognitive decline in patients with AD.MethodsA total of 120 participants were enrolled, including 63 in the COVID-19 group and 57 in the non-COVID-19 group. The primary outcomes were disease decline and disease deterioration over three months, assessed using CDR-SB. Disease deterioration indicated clinically meaningful worsening, whereas disease decline captured subtler progression. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for demographic, clinical, lifestyle, genetic, and disease severity factors. Overlap-Weighted Propensity Score Matching was additionally performed to reduce confounding during the 3-month follow-up.ResultsCOVID-19 significantly increased the risk of disease decline (OR\u2009=\u200910.39, 95% CI:3.87 to 27.87, p\u2009<\u20090.001) and disease deterioration (OR\u2009=\u200910.37, 95% CI: 2.71 to 39.65, p\u2009=\u20090.001). APOE \u03b54 carrier status was associated with a higher risk of deterioration (OR\u2009=\u20091.72), while those with unknown APOE status exhibited an even greater risk (OR\u2009=\u20095.20, 95% CI:1.32 to 20.53, p\u2009=\u20090.019). Secondary analyses confirmed that COVID-19 patients experienced significantly greater increases in CDR-SB scores compared to non-COVID-19 patients.ConclusionsSARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with greater short-term cognitive worsening over a three-month period in patients with AD, underscoring its potential public health relevance and the need for early surveillance to guide timely clinical management.",

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are phospholipid bilayer-enclosed membrane vesicles secreted by diverse cell types that mediate communication between the periphery and CNS through the delivery of various bioactive molecules, including proteins, lipids, and non-coding RNA, thereby exerting immunomodulatory functions. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that EVs contribute to immune regulation during the initiation and progression of CNS diseases by modulating pathological processes, including neuroinflammation, pro-inflammatory polarization of glial cells, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and pyroptosis. Previous studies have reported that exercise exerts neuroprotective effects in CNS diseases through EVs-mediated immune regulation. This review summarizes and critically evaluates the biological characteristics of EVs, EV-mediated immunoregulatory mechanisms, the roles of EV-mediated immunoregulation in CNS diseases, and exercise interventions, thereby providing theoretical insights into the beneficial effects of exercise on brain health.",

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a lipid transport protein that plays a central role in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins and the transport of lipids within tissues. Among its three major isoforms, only ApoE4 has a unique structural variant that confers significant neurotoxicity not present in the other two subtypes. ApoE4 not only disrupts lipid metabolism but also interferes with neuroimmune regulation and mitochondrial dynamics, thereby impairing synaptic integrity. It is a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and accelerates its age of onset. Although developing depression in midlife may be a risk factor for AD, the underlying mechanisms by which ApoE4 influences depression or depression-related behaviors associated with AD remain fragmented, and systematic integrative reviews on this topic are scarce. We integrate existing evidence to elucidate the role of ApoE4 in depression or AD-associated prodromal depressive-like behaviors, with a focus on how its dysfunction disrupts cellular lipid homeostasis, impairs synaptic plasticity, and damages mitochondrial function. We also explored specific therapeutic strategies targeting the pathological defects of ApoE4 that enhance synaptic resilience, and utilizing conformational modulating small molecules such as EZ-482 and ALZ-801 to treat depressive symptoms in early AD. Thus, these findings indicate that ApoE4 may influence the progression of depressive phenotypes through multiple pathological pathways, making it a promising therapeutic target for treating depression comorbid with early AD.",

While BMSC-derived small extracellular vesicles (BMSC-Exo) are neuroprotective, their ability to repair mitochondrial deficits is limited. We engineered mitochondrial-enriched sEVs (Exo-Mito) to evaluate their effects on microglia-neuron interactions in a PD-relevant model. BMSC-Exo-Mito were characterized via TEM, NTA, and immunoblotting. Their therapeutic efficacy was assessed using an MPP\u00a0+\u00a0-induced BV2/SH-SY5Y transwell co-culture model. Assessments included ROS levels, mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP quantification, mitophagy flux, and signaling pathway analysis. Exo-Mito significantly restored mitochondrial homeostasis by reducing ROS, preserving membrane potential, and increasing ATP production. Mechanistically, Exo-Mito enhanced PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy and PGC-1alpha/TFAM-mediated biogenesis. In BV2 microglia, Exo-Mito suppressed the NF-kappaB/NLRP3 axis, reduced proinflammatory cytokines, and promoted M2 polarization. In SH-SY5Y cells with dopaminergic phenotype, Exo-Mito was associated with reactivated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, preserved tyrosine hydroxylase expression, and inhibited apoptosis. Functionally, Exo-Mito improved SH-SY5Y cell and restored microglial migratory capacity, showing superior efficacy to unmodified BMSC-Exo. Mitochondria-enriched BMSC sEVs protect SH-SY5Y cells by coordinating mitochondrial quality control and modulating neuroinflammation. These findings support Exo-Mito as a promising cell-free therapeutic strategy for Parkinson's disease.",

Periodontitis, a prevalent chronic inflammatory oral disease, has been increasingly recognized as a potential risk factor for cognitive disorders. This umbrella review synthesized evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses investigating the association between periodontitis and cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia and cognitive impairment. Following JBI methodological guidance for umbrella reviews, a comprehensive search was conducted across seven databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus) from inception to April 2025 to identify systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the association between periodontitis and cognitive disorders in humans. Two reviewers independently performed study selection, data extraction, and quality appraisal using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tool. Due to heterogeneity, findings were synthesized narratively. Twenty systematic reviews and meta-analyses comprising 333 primary studies were included. Most reviews reported a significant association between periodontitis and AD or dementia. Meta-analyses consistently found increased risk estimates, with the strongest associations for severe periodontitis. Biological plausibility was supported by shared inflammatory pathways and detection of periodontal pathogens in brain tissue. However, evidence was predominantly observational, with substantial heterogeneity in diagnostic criteria.

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

However, the therapeutic application of live A. muciniphila in IBD remains controversial. Interestingly, A. muciniphila-derived extracellular vesicles (AEVs) have been reported to improve intestinal barrier function, immune status, and gut microbiota composition, and may exert superior efficacy in IBD. In parallel, pasteurized A. muciniphila has been shown to retain, or even enhance, beneficial bioactivity compared with the live bacterium in certain disease settings. Here, we investigated whether extracellular vesicles derived from pasteurized A. muciniphila (PAEVs) preserve or further enhance the anti-inflammatory and barrier-protective effects of the parental bacterium. A dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse model of colitis was used to evaluate the therapeutic effects of PAEVs and AEVs. Disease severity, body weight loss, colonic histopathology, inflammatory cytokine expression, intestinal barrier integrity, inflammatory signaling pathways, and gut microbiota composition were assessed. PAEVs markedly attenuated DSS-induced colitis, as evidenced by reduced weight loss, improved colonic histology, decreased levels of TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, and IFN-\u03b3, and enhanced tight junction proteins. By contrast, AEVs improved only limited parameters, including Occludin expression and TNF-\u03b1 levels. Mechanistically, PAEV-mediated protection may be associated with suppression of the STING/I\u03baB/NF-\u03baB signaling axis and remodeling of the gut microbiota. These findings indicate that PAEVs effectively alleviate experimental IBD by enhancing tight junction proteins, suppressing some inflammatory cytokines, and modulating gut microbiota composition. Compared with AEVs, PAEVs exhibit broader protective effects, suggesting that extracellular vesicles derived from pasteurized A. muciniphila may represent a promising postbiotic strategy for IBD intervention. Importantly, this study offers the first systematic comparison of extracellular vesicles derived from live and pasteurized A. muciniphila, highlighting PAEVs as a distinct and potentially more effective postbiotic vesicle formulation for IBD intervention.",

The review followed PRISMA guidelines and involved a comprehensive literature search up to October 2025, receiving ethical approval from Tabriz University of Medical Sciences and registration in PROSPERO. It utilized international databases, including PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Science Direct. The included studies comprised randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental studies, and other interventional designs involving ALS patients treated with stem cell therapies. In total, 31 studies were analyzed, featuring 7 controlled trials with 370 participants and 24 non-controlled pre-post studies with 460 participants. Heterogeneity was evaluated using I 2 statistics, and subgroup analyses were conducted based on treatment duration and dosing. A pooled analysis (treatment group: n\u2009=\u200993; control group: n\u2009=\u200990) demonstrated a significant attenuation in the progression of disease severity, as measured by the ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS), in stem cell groups versus controls (weighted mean difference [WMD]: 8.89 95% CI: 4.12-13.67; p = 0.0003), which was beneficial for both the \u226510\u2009\u00d7\u2009106 and <10\u2009\u00d7\u2009106 dose sub-groups. However, a meta-analysis of single-arm studies in two control (pre-intervention) and intervention phases (n\u2009=\u200988) demonstrated no significant difference in progression of ALSFRS between study phases by time: month 3 (WMD: -1.27 (-3.01 to 0.47); p = 0.15), month 6 (WMD: -2.69 (-5.62 to 0.25); p = 0.07), month 9 (WMD: -1.55 (-3.49 to 0.39); p = 0.12), and month 12 (WMD: -7.59 (-13.95 to -1.26); p = 0.02). An accelerated decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) was observed during the intervention phase, with statistically significant reductions at month 3 (WMD: -10.91; 95% CI: -16.39 to -5.43; p < 0.0001) and month 6 (WMD: -15.97; 95% CI: -28.60 to -3.33; p = 0.01) compared with the pre-intervention control phase. Nevertheless, sensitivity analyses excluding studies involving high-dose mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies demonstrated that these differences were no longer statistically significant. Moreover, no significant change in progression rate was observed at month 9 (WMD: -8.10 (-18.25 to 2.06); p = 0.12). The route of MSCs administration (intrathecal [IT], intramuscular [IM], and intravenous [IV]) had no effect on the results of ALSFRS and FVC, reinforced by sensitivity analyses. Adverse events were mostly mild, with headaches most frequent in high-dose groups. Stem cell therapy for ALS appears to be safe, with preliminary evidence suggesting potential therapeutic benefit in slowing disease progression in selected patients. Nevertheless, the existing evidence base remains exploratory, and definitive conclusions regarding clinical effectiveness cannot yet be drawn. Future research should prioritize large-scale and multicenter RCTs with standardized cell manufacturing protocols and longer follow-up periods.",

Both severe and repetitive mild TBI are associated with dysregulated amyloid precursor protein processing and intracranial deposition of amyloid-beta (A\u03b2), a hallmark of neurodegenerative disease. The objective of the study is to summarize current evidence linking TBI with posttraumatic neurodegeneration, cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and genetically mediated susceptibility factors influencing recovery. A narrative review of relevant literature was performed with a focus on mechanisms of posttraumatic vascular amyloid deposition and the role of genetic predisposition. TBI triggers secondary injury mechanisms, including persistent neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and blood-brain barrier disruption, which promote sustained intracerebral A\u03b2 deposition and impaired clearance, which is closely associated with CAA and increased risk of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. Iatrogenic CAA represents a distinct A\u03b2-related entity with prolonged incubation and heterogeneous clinical presentation. It seems that genetic susceptibility, particularly apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (APOE\u03b54), is associated with increased amyloid burden, more severe cerebral contusions, and poorer long-term functional outcomes following TBI. TBI may accelerate neurodegenerative and amyloid-related vascular processes that adversely affect recovery. Genetic predisposition, especially APOE\u03b54, appears to modulate posttraumatic intracranial amyloid deposition and long-term outcomes, highlighting the importance of individualized risk assessment in patients with TBI.",

While traditional research has focused on amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles as primary pathological hallmarks, mounting evidence implicates neuroinflammation as a critical third pillar in AD pathogenesis. This review critically evaluates current understanding of neuroinflammatory mechanisms in AD, examining the complex interplay between cellular mediators, molecular pathways and environmental triggers across a temporal disease-stage framework. We explore the dual and stage-dependent roles of microglia and astrocytes, expand discussion of blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction and peripheral immune infiltration as underappreciated pathogenic contributors, and integrate emerging evidence linking neuroinflammation specifically to tau pathology and its stereotyped propagation through the brain. Diagnostic biomarkers, including translocator protein-positron emission tomography (TSPO-PET) and plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), are evaluated with explicit attention to clinical utility, technical limitations, and their relationship to established AD biomarkers. Therapeutic strategies are critically assessed with careful distinction between preclinical proof-of-concept data and available clinical evidence, and key translational challenges are highlighted throughout. The review emphasizes the need for stage-appropriate intervention windows, patient stratification by neuroinflammatory endotype, and biologically rational combination strategies. Understanding neuroinflammation's temporal and spatial dynamics offers promising but as yet insufficiently realized avenues for early intervention and disease modification in AD.",

Sensitive cognitive measures, in addition to biomarkers of amyloid pathology, add to the efficiency of secondary prevention trials by identifying cognitively normal individuals at greatest risk of clinical progression. The Stages of Objective Memory Impairment (SOMI) system, based on the picture version of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding Test with immediate recall (pFCSRT+IR), predicted clinical progression in two observational studies. Our objective was to extend SOMI's findings to clinical trials using participants from the Anti-Amyloid Treatment in Asymptomatic Alzheimer's(A4) study. Eligible participants were cognitively normal, had a Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) =0, an elevated amyloid level, the pFCSRT+IR, pTau217, and longitudinal data on the CDR. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess the association of baseline SOMI stage for clinical progression defined by time to the first of 2 consecutive CDRs > 0 or CDR>0 at last assessment. The sample was censored at 4.5 years of follow-up. Of the 911 eligible participants, mean age was 72 years, 59% were female, 62% were APOE \u03b54 carriers, and 37% progressed over 4.5 years. Hazard ratios (HR) for progression were estimated with follow-up time as the timescale and the SOMI 0 group as the reference. The HRs for progression across SOMI stage increased from 1.48(1.15-1.92 p=.003) for SOMI-1, to 1.83 (1.32-2.54, p \u2264 0.001) for SOMI-2, and to 3.04 (1.97-4.68, p \u2264 0.001) for SOMI 3/4. SOMI remained an independent and significant predictor when pTau217 was added to the model. SOMI's risk profile in A4 was similar to prior findings in observational cohorts. SOMI provides a low-cost, non-invasive enrichment tool for identifying individuals at risk for early cognitive decline in secondary prevention trials.",

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

Accumulating evidence demonstrates its contribution to the metabolic and functional plasticity of both tumor and immune cells. Rather than representing a rare stochastic event, mitochondrial exchange occurs across multiple cell types-including cancer cells, stromal cells, and infiltrating immune cells-via distinct structures such as tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), gap junctions, and transient cell fusion events. In tumor cells, acquisition of exogenous mitochondria is commonly associated with enhanced oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), improved metabolic adaptation, and increased tolerance to therapeutic stress. Conversely, immune cells that undergo mitochondrial depletion or receive dysfunctional mitochondria frequently display impaired bioenergetic capacity and diminished effector function, thereby contributing to immune dysfunction in the TME. Recent advances in intravital imaging, single-cell technologies, and lineage tracing have provided compelling evidence that mitochondrial transfer is a dynamic, context-dependent and often directional process. Beyond metabolic effects, mitochondrial components, particularly mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), can engage innate immune pathways including TLR9, NLRP3, and cGAS-STING, thus modulating inflammatory signaling and antitumor immunity. Overall, mitochondrial transfer functions as a bidirectional regulator of immunometabolic states in cancer, with potential either to support tumor progression or to modulate immune responses, depending on cellular context. Understanding the molecular determinants governing this process may offer opportunities to selectively target pathological mitochondrial exchange or to exploit it for therapeutic benefit in cancer immunotherapy. This comprehensive review examines the molecular mechanisms, immunological consequences, and therapeutic implications of mitochondrial transfer in cancer.",

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate intercellular communication by mimicking the functions of their parent cells. In this study, we found that repeated administration of neural stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (NSC-derived EVs) improved motor performance and provided protection to lumbar motor neurons, the neuromuscular junctions, and muscle morphology in the SOD1 G93A transgenic mouse model of ALS. Furthermore, by analyzing the RNA-sequencing of muscle specimens from ALS-SOD1 patients, we demonstrated that the rescue effects of NSC-derived EVs might be linked to the p53 pathway. Compared to the PBS control treatment group, both TP53 and the p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis (PUMA) were downregulated in the spinal cord of mice treated with NSC-derived EVs. These data provide additional knowledge for the promising use of NSC-derived EVs as a potential therapy for ALS.",

However, it remains unclear whether the existing literature tests PA at the disease stage and in the populations most likely to show benefit. This umbrella review evaluated whether associations between PA and cognitive, fluid biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes differ by apolipoprotein E \u03b54 (APOE \u03b54) genotype across stages of cognitive aging, with particular attention to how study design and baseline cognitive status shape interpretation of the evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were screened for primary studies examining PA in adults classified by baseline cognitive status as cognitively unimpaired, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. Primary studies reporting APOE \u03b54-stratified outcomes were extracted and qualitatively synthesized by outcome domain, cognitive stage, and study design. Of 2,100 records identified, seven systematic reviews met inclusion criteria, yielding 68 unique primary studies. Favorable associations between PA and cognitive, biomarker, neuroimaging, and vascular/metabolic outcomes were most often reported in observational studies of younger or cognitively unimpaired adults. Several studies suggested stronger associations among APOE \u03b54 carriers, including midlife cognitive associations, neuroimaging markers, and vascular/metabolic outcomes such as lipid profiles. In contrast, randomized controlled trials were few, generally enrolled older adults with MCI or dementia, included small APOE \u03b54 subgroups, and reported largely null or mixed genotype-specific effects. The current evidence does not establish a definitive APOE \u03b54-specific preventive effect of PA. Future studies may be most informative if they target earlier-stage, low-active, or metabolically at-risk APOE \u03b54 carriers using objective PA measures and proximal vascular, metabolic, imaging, or blood-based biomarker outcomes.",

In Stage A, patients were randomized to one of six planned cohorts to receive intravenous ABBV-916 (10\u00a0mg to 3000\u00a0mg) or placebo monthly through week 24. Assessments included amyloid PET, blood-based biomarkers, pharmacokinetics (PK), and safety. Dose selection for Stage B was to be based on results from Stage A. One hundred six patients were randomized to ABBV-916 or placebo. The 3000\u00a0mg dose was reduced to 2000\u00a0mg and subsequently to 900\u00a0mg after safety review. Dose-proportional PK were observed, and amyloid reduction was observed over 24\u00a0weeks at doses \u2265300\u00a0mg. Most adverse events were non-serious amyloid-related imaging abnormalities.

To determine whether GBA1 and APOE \u03b54 status are associated with diverging [18F]FDG PET metabolic patterns in DLB. We analyzed [18F]FDG PET scans from 43 patients with DLB stratified by GBA1 and APOE \u03b54 status, and 35 from healthy subjects. Analyses included the cingulate island sign (CIS), regions of interest, SSM/PCA disease patterns, and a machine learning multi-class model. We evaluated the similarity of the DLB patient scans in our cohort with respect to typical DLB, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD)-like patterns. APOE \u03b54 status mainly influenced the CIS, with APOE \u03b54-negative patients showing greater preservation of the DLB-typical CIS pattern (p\u2009=\u20090.03) compared to APOE \u03b54 carriers.

To identify APOE \u03b54-associated metabolic factors related to AD risk and to provide preliminary insights into their biological and nutritional context. We leveraged multi-omics analyses across two independent cohorts to characterize biomarkers associated with AD. The effects of metabolite\u00a0\u00d7\u00a0APOE \u03b54 interactions were tested on incident AD and the \u03b54-specific metabolic signatures were pinpointed. Multimodal analyses were used to test the underlying mechanisms, including neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and PET biomarkers within the A/T/N framework, as well as plasma proteomics combined with bioinformatics enrichment analyses. Across both cohorts, valine emerged as the only metabolite associated with a reduced risk of incident AD specifically among APOE \u03b54 carriers (P\u00a0<\u00a00.005). Significant interaction effects between valine and APOE \u03b54 were detected in both cohorts (P for meta-analyses\u00a0<\u00a00.005). Higher levels of valine were associated with greater total white matter and posterior cingulate cortex volumes, as well as with lower levels of CSF tau proteins.

Classical signalling via membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) is often associated with homeostatic and reparative functions, whereas trans-signalling, mediated by soluble IL-6R, expands IL-6 responsiveness to gp130-expressing cells and may promote chronic inflammation. Emerging evidence implicates dysregulated IL-6 trans-signalling in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Here, we review mechanisms linking IL-6 trans-signalling to immune, glial, neuronal, and vascular dysfunction in neurodegeneration.

Hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable vascular risk factor, but whether its association with AD differs across APOE genotypes remains unclear. We examined the interaction between HTN and APOE genotypes in relation to incident AD and explored plasma proteomic correlates as potential biological clues. Longitudinal data from 318,923 UK Biobank participants without dementia were analyzed; participants had a mean age of 56.24 years, an APOE \u03b54 frequency of 28.29%, and a median follow-up period of 13 years. Cox proportional hazards models with competing-risk adjustment for death were used to assess additive and multiplicative interactions between HTN and APOE genotypes. Plasma proteomic data from 34,141 participants, covering 2790 proteins, were further analyzed using mediation and bioinformatics approaches. HTN showed a significant multiplicative interaction with APOE \u03b54 status for incident AD (p < .001). The association between HTN and AD risk was strongest among APOE \u03b52 carriers, followed by \u03b533 carriers and \u03b54 carriers, with hazard ratios of 1.570, 1.213, and 1.129, respectively. Among APOE \u03b52 carriers, prosaposin and ganglioside GM2 activator significantly mediated the HTN-AD association, with mediation proportions of 10.46% and 3.37%, respectively. These proteins were enriched in sphingolipid metabolism and lysosomal function. The association between HTN and incident AD varies across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers. These findings suggest genotype-dependent heterogeneity in vascular contributions to AD risk. Proteomic results should be interpreted as exploratory biological clues and require further validation. The association between hypertension and incident Alzheimer\u2019s disease differed across APOE genotype strata, with the strongest relative association observed among APOE \u03b52 carriers.

Here, we generate a chimeric model of AD by transplanting isogenic APOE3 or APOE4 human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived astrocyte progenitors into neonatal AD mice. Donor cells differentiate into human astrocytes that integrate into the cortex and display morphologies consistent with interlaminar-like astrocytes. APOE3 and APOE4 astrocytes differ in expression of APOE, which associates differentially with A\u03b2 plaques. Notably, APOE3 astrocytes are associated with reduced A\u03b2 burden, Tau pathology, and neuritic dystrophy, whereas APOE4 astrocytes exacerbate these processes. They also induce distinct microglial responses: APOE4 astrocytes enhance microglial clustering around A\u03b2 plaques and promote a disease-associated microglia-like state, whereas APOE3 astrocytes reduce clustering and support a more homeostatic profile. These findings highlight a role for human astrocytes and APOE-dependent astrocyte functions in modulating AD-related pathology.",

No previous study has characterized APOE allele distribution among Syrian patients with AD.ObjectiveThis investigation aimed to assess the association between APOE genotypes and AD risk in a Syrian cohort.MethodsIn this case-control study, genomic DNA was extracted from 52 clinically diagnosed AD patients and 38 cognitively healthy controls. The APOE genotype was determined by direct sequencing of the rs429358 and rs7412 polymorphisms defining the \u03b52, \u03b53, and \u03b54 alleles. Genotypic and allelic frequencies were compared using Fisher's exact test, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was assessed in the controls.ResultsThe \u03b53/\u03b53 genotype was predominant in both groups (73.1% of cases, 94.7% of controls). The \u03b53/\u03b54 genotype appeared in 23.1% of AD patients but was absent among controls (Corrected OR = 12.37, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.65-233.7, p\u2009<\u20090.01). The overall \u03b54 allele frequency in patients (0.117) was significantly higher than in controls (0.000) (Corrected OR = 10.76, 95% CI\u2009=\u20090.59-195.7, p\u2009<\u20090.01). The \u03b52/2, \u03b54/4, and \u03b52/4 genotypes were not detected in any participants.ConclusionsThis study is the first to investigate the prevalence of the APOE \u03b54 allele in Syrian patients with Alzheimer's disease. These results underscore the importance of investigating genetic architectures when assessing AD risk and call for larger, multi-center studies across the Middle East to elucidate the interplay between APOE variants and metabolic determinants of cognitive decline.",

However, the practical value of such models for early intervention and prevention depends on their ability to generalize to independent cohorts, a property that is often not evaluated. This study investigated whether adding structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to non-brain data improved machine learning predictions of continuous cognitive decline and analyzed the models' generalizability. Multi-target random forest regression models predicted annual decline in the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SOB) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) using non-brain data, structural MRI data, or their combination from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI; N = 1237) and Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS-3; N = 662) datasets. Cross-site generalizability was evaluated. Data from ADNI and OASIS-3 were used for this study. A total of 1899 participants who had demographic, clinical, and brain imaging data from a baseline session and clinical data from at least 2 follow-up sessions were included. Baseline non-brain (demographics, clinical and neuropsychological scores, information on APOE genotype, cognitive diagnosis, health, and number of sessions before baseline) and/or structural MRI data were used to predict the yearly rate of change in CDR-SOB and MMSE scores. Including structural MRI data improved prediction of CDR-SOB and MMSE change, reaching respective R2 values of .41 and .33 in ADNI and .42 and .33 in OASIS-3. Model performance for across-dataset predictions was reduced (R2 between .18 and .35), unexplained by distributional shifts of target variables. Models using only top predictive features performed similarly to full models when tested externally (R2 between .18 and .34), suggesting predictor redundancy. Incorporating structural MRI data enhances within-dataset prediction of continuous cognitive decline, allowing for more precise individual-level prediction and advancing towards precision medicine. Even though external validation remains limited, quantifying the generalizability gap is a crucial step towards the responsible use of ML models in clinical intervention and prevention.",

Under chronic exposure to amyloid-\u03b2, pathological tau, and aging-associated bioenergetic decline, these cells undergo immunometabolic remodeling that may initially be adaptive. As stress persists, this remodeling can become maladaptive, marked by disordered glycolysis, disturbed lipid handling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and compensatory failure. In this review, we organize these changes as a stage-dependent trajectory from adaptive remodeling to functional decompensation. We introduce the \"metabolic paradox\" as an operational descriptor: a concurrent, same-cell mismatch between increased substrate uptake or inflammatory activation and declining bioenergetic efficiency and homeostatic function. Along this trajectory we examine neurovascular energy bottlenecks, substrate redistribution, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2)/apolipoprotein E (APOE)-dependent lipid homeostasis, mitochondrial and proteostatic collapse, and their links to persistent neuroinflammation, defective phagocytosis, aberrant synaptic pruning, and senescence-like dysfunction. We synthesize prior primary findings and stratify each major claim by evidentiary strength, avoiding the overinterpretation of model-specific results as patient-level mechanisms. Finally, we frame immunoprevention as mechanism-based, early-stage metabolic intervention to preserve homeostatic microglial function, a strategy whose clinical benefit remains a hypothesis requiring prospective testing.",

This review provides a systematic synthesis of immunometabolic reprogramming-encompassing glucose, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation-in CNS-resident microglia, immunomodulatory astrocytes, and peripherally infiltrating immune cells (T cells, B cells, and neutrophils) across Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and ischemic stroke. Critically, rather than presenting all reported metabolic alterations as equivalently established, we introduce an evidence-transparency framework that systematically distinguishes the nature of supporting data-ranging from direct metabolic flux measurements (Seahorse, isotope tracing, lipidomics) and molecular correlates, to genetic/pharmacological perturbations, human tissue validation, and model-specific observations-enabling readers to independently assess the strength of each major conclusion. We further delineate aging as an active analytical dimension, demonstrating how age-related changes in mitochondrial quality control, lipid handling, redox buffering, and glial-immune crosstalk establish a permissive baseline that modifies disease-specific reprogramming trajectories. By integrating analyses of intercellular crosstalk, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier integrity, and oxidative stress, we illustrate both convergent and divergent metabolic mechanisms across diseases. Finally, we critically assess therapeutic strategies targeting immunometabolism, emphasizing shared translational obstacles including target selectivity, blood-brain barrier penetration, stage-dependent efficacy, and the inherent challenge of pathway pleiotropy. This review provides a conceptually grounded framework for interpreting immunometabolic evidence, navigating the gap between correlative findings and causal mechanisms, and guiding future hypothesis-driven therapeutic design for CNS disorders.",

Preclinical in-vitro and in-vivo studies assessing the effects of DPSC-EVs on regenerative outcomes associated with DPC regeneration, including odontogenic differentiation, immunoregulation, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, angiogenesis, and neurovascular regeneration. Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, without limitations on publication year or language. Preclinical studies assessing DPSC-EVs for DPC regeneration were selected via duplicate removal, title/abstract screening, and full-text evaluation following PRISMA guidelines. In-vitro, EV exposure upregulated BMP2 (5.2-fold), DSPP (4.9-fold), OCN (4.4-fold), DMP1 (2.7-fold), RUNX2 (2.0-fold), and ALP (2.3-fold) compared to controls. Angiogenic effect was significantly improved, with VEGF upregulated by nearly 2.5-fold and endothelial junction development by 2.9-fold. Additionally, EV treatment alleviated pro-inflammatory cytokine expression by 44% while elevating anti-inflammatory signaling almost 2.0-fold. In-vivo, EV treatment significantly enhanced odontogenic regeneration, angiogenesis, ECM formation, and neurovascular tissue development, with COL1A1 and DSPP exhibiting the highest reported regenerative outcomes. Odontogenically triggered, hypoxia-treated, and engineered EVs consistently showed superior biological functionality compared to traditional EVs. Existing preclinical evidence indicates that DPSC-EVs exhibit substantial capacity for DPC regeneration. Nonetheless, significant methodological heterogeneity and the lack of clinical evidence presently preclude conclusions concerning clinical effectiveness. Standardization of EV manufacturing, characterization, dosing, and translational assessment remains necessary before clinical implementation can be considered. Existing preclinical evidence reflects that DPSC-EVs improve several biological pathways related to DPC regeneration, such as odontogenic differentiation, angiogenesis, ECM deposition, and immunoregulation. These outcomes support continued translational research of DPSC-EVs as a promising cell-free regenerative approach; nonetheless, clinical implementation awaits validation via large-animal and human clinical studies.

Although AD microglia have been proposed to be primed for exaggerated inflammatory responses, single-cell evidence remains limited. To investigate microglial responses to inflammation in AD, we challenged AD mouse models with intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and used single-cell RNA sequencing to characterize microglial states, along with in vivo immunostaining and in vitro models to define their features and underlying mechanisms. We found that, in response to an inflammatory challenge, microglia adopted a low-inflammatory state accompanied by elevated expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain genes. This state was associated with the phagocytosis of dystrophic neurites and was recapitulated in vitro using an efferocytosis-based model, with apolipoprotein E implicated in its underlying mechanism. In summary, we identified a distinct microglial state that provides new insights into the dynamic role of microglia in AD.",

We examined the associations of plasma GDF15 with incident brain disorders and explored potential mediating pathways and causality. UK Biobank participants were followed for a median of 14\u00a0years. Plasma GDF15 was measured at baseline. Cox proportional hazards models assessed associations with incident brain disorders, including all-cause dementia (ACD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, stroke, and epilepsy. Mediation analyses evaluated biochemical and hematological pathways, and one-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to assess potential causal effects. Higher GDF15 levels were associated with increased risks of overall brain disorders and all examined subtypes. In continuous analyses (per 1-unit increase in log2-transformed GDF15), hazard ratios (95% CIs) were 1.54 (1.48-1.60) for overall brain disorders, 1.98 (1.80-2.17) for ACD, 1.84 (1.60-2.10) for AD, 1.37 (1.18-1.59) for PD, 1.26 (1.16-1.37) for anxiety, 1.38 (1.29-1.49) for depression, 1.40 (1.26-1.55) for sleep disorders, 1.92 (1.81-2.05) for stroke, and 1.71 (1.46-2.01) for epilepsy (all P\u00a0<\u00a00.001). Lipid- and inflammation-related markers appeared to partially mediate these associations. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) accounted for an estimated 7.51% of the association with depression and 11.47% with sleep disorders, while neutrophil count showed relatively larger mediation estimates across multiple outcomes. MR analyses did not support a direct causal effect of GDF15. Plasma GDF15 is associated with a broad range of incident brain disorders and may act partly through lipid- and inflammation-related pathways, particularly HDL-C and neutrophil count.",

Further coupled with sex-dependent transcriptional control, ADNP/davunetide cytoplasmic microtubule/Tau targeting is translated into differential sex regulation of key cellular processes including neurogenesis, synaptic function, and axonal transport, then decoded into sexual dichotomy in multicellular processes directing sex-dependent behavioral outcomes. ADNP regulation of these sex-specific processes serves as a target for davunetide intervention, toward sex-directed precision medicine, revealing sexually dichotomized neuroprotection against tauopathy risk and progression spanning from coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to prodromal Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and schizophrenia, as well as the pediatric ADNP syndrome. Sex-specific intranasal bioavailability of davunetide, regulated by the estrous cycle, provides a mechanistic foundation for these differential outcomes.",
        "42575454": "ID: 42575454\nTitle: Differential consequences of traumatic brain injury in the hippocampal hemispheres of male rats and the beneficial effect of neuropeptide Y.\nAbstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a complex cascade of secondary injury mechanisms, including neurovascular dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and glial activation, which progressively contribute to long-term neurological deficits. Although the primary mechanical insult is typically unilateral, secondary pathological processes can extend beyond the impact site. However, the spatiotemporal evolution of these bilateral alterations remains poorly understood. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an endogenous neuromodulator with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, making it a promising candidate for limiting secondary brain injury. Here, we characterized the bilateral hippocampal response to experimental TBI and evaluated whether early intranasal NPY administration post-TBI attenuates neurovascular and neuroinflammatory alterations while improving behavioral outcomes. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to a closed-head weight-drop model of TBI and treated intranasally with NPY (100\u00a0\u03bcg/animal) or vehicle 30\u00a0min after injury. Molecular, histological, and behavioral analyses were performed 48\u00a0h and 7\u00a0days post-injury. We concluded that TBI induced distinct spatiotemporal pathological responses in the hippocampi. The ipsilateral hippocampus exhibited early blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and astrocytic alterations, whereas the contralateral hippocampus developed a more pronounced and sustained inflammatory response characterized by microglial activation and increased expression of inflammatory and endothelial activation markers. Early intranasal NPY administration attenuated these bilateral pathological alterations by preserving BBB integrity, reducing neuroinflammatory responses, and normalizing glial morphology. These neurobiological effects were accompanied by improvements in spatial working memory and anxiety-related behaviors. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that unilateral TBI induces distinct bilateral secondary injury responses within the hippocampus and identify early intranasal NPY administration as a promising strategy. Further investigation is warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and establish the long-term therapeutic potential of NPY.",

It is involved in neurogenesis, synapse formation, and such cognitive processes as learning and memory in the CNS. Dysregulated WNT signaling is associated with cognitive decline, synaptic dysfunction, neuronal loss, and has been associated with diseases like leukemia and colorectal cancer. The studies show that WNT/\u03b2-catenin signaling affects the cellular, molecular, and metabolic mechanisms that promote disease progression. The WNT pathway is a potential therapeutic target because it helps maintain neuronal survival, supports the growth of new nerve cells, and enhances synaptic plasticity. WNT signaling is important for stem cell selfrenewal and differentiation. Research is being conducted on therapeutic methods targeting WNT signaling to treat neurological diseases and cancer. This review explores the connection between WNT signaling and the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. This review explores the role of WNT signaling in AD pathogenesis, with a focus on the Wnt/\u03b2-catenin pathway as a therapeutic target. It summarizes existing findings to demonstrate that WNT signaling is a context-dependent regulatory network in which a shift from protective canonical activity to dysregulated non-canonical and inflammatory pathways contributes to disease progression.",

All elements of the neurovascular unit (NVU), including the often disregarded glycocalyx and invading peripheral immune cells, interact dynamically and frequently contradict one another in their pathophysiological processes, which extend beyond neurons. This paper reviews developments in intercellular communication pathways that regulate brain injury and repair after cerebral ischemia. The intricate signaling networks among neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes, and lymphocytes were comprehensively analyzed. This review goes beyond conventional viewpoints to highlight major findings, ongoing debates, and critical research gaps associated with each interaction. This study investigated the dual nature of glial responses by analyzing diverse activation states of glial cells, the mechanisms underlying blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, including glycocalyx degradation, and the complex immunoregulatory roles of lymphocyte subsets, such as regulatory T cells (Tregs), regulatory B cells (Bregs), and \u03b3\u03b4 T cells. In addition to classical soluble factor signaling, emerging communication mechanisms, including extracellular vesicles (EVs), tunneling nanotubes (TNTs), and migrasomes, were investigated, and these mechanisms may be involved in ischemic pathophysiology. Contradictory data and mechanistic evidence were assessed for every communication pathway; knowledge gaps were identified, and specific experiments were proposed to resolve these uncertainties. Finally, these observations were integrated into a discussion of advanced therapeutic approaches based on network modulation. This review offers a potential framework for discovering new system-based treatment targets targeted at rewiring harmful crosstalk and fostering strong neurological recovery by characterizing ischemic stroke as a progressive failure of intercellular communication.",

Emerging evidence highlights physical activity as a potent modulator of this bidirectional communication system, with muscle-derived signals particularly myokines, metabolites, and extracellular vesicles playing a central role. This narrative review synthesizes current knowledge on how exercise-induced molecular mediators influence gut microbiota composition, intestinal barrier integrity, immune signaling, and neuroinflammatory pathways. Findings were integrated across the disciplines of neuroscience, microbiology, and exercise physiology to evaluate mechanistic links between muscle-secreted factors and gut-mediated responses. Mechanistic links exist between muscle-secreted factors such as irisin, cathepsin B, BDNF-inducing pathways, and lactate with microbial metabolites including short-chain fatty acids. These interacting pathways demonstrate a combined impact on neuroprotection, synaptic plasticity, and the modulation of disease progression in neurodegenerative conditions. Physical activity represents a promising non-pharmacological strategy for modulating the gut-brain axis in neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding the interplay between muscle-derived signals and gut-mediated pathways may open new avenues for targeted interventions aimed at slowing or preventing neurodegenerative decline.",

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

We evaluated and compared whether normal exosomes (NE) and modified exosomes (ME) derived from AD rat brain extract-treated rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells possess the potential to protect SH-SY5Y cells against streptozotocin (STZ) induced toxicity. The effect of exosomes on oxidative stress, inflammation and neuronal survival was evaluated. Further, antioxidant mechanism of exosomes by nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1) signaling was explored. Cells were exposed to 5\u2009mM STZ and treated with NE and ME at an equivalent concentration of 50\u2009\u00b5g/mL. Exosomes were characterized by specific exosomal markers, CD63 and CD9. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay. Neuronal growth and survival were evaluated by measuring brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) using ELISA and neuronal nuclei (NeuN) expression using immunocytochemistry. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were determined using H2DCFDA, while inflammatory mediators, including interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-\u03b1 (TNF-\u03b1) were quantified by ELISA. Expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 were also determined. Exosome treatment improved cell viability, reduced ROS, and lowered IL-6 and TNF-\u03b1 levels. Immunocytochemistry quantification showed increased nuclear Nrf2 and HO-1 expression in exosome-treated cells. Moreover, our data indicate that ME derived from AD rat brain extract-treated rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are more potent in protecting SH-SY5Y cells from STZ-induced oxidative stress and inflammation, possibly via Nrf2/HO-1 signaling, as compared to NE.

Imaging measures of structural alterations of the choroid plexus (CP) and impaired glymphatic transport have each been associated with cognitive decline, yet their potential interaction in humans remains poorly understood. We investigated the relationship between CP volume, glymphatic diffusion, and cognitive performance in 100 memory clinic patients. Diffusion tensor imaging analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) was used as an imaging proxy of glymphatic diffusion, and CP volume and WMH volume were derived from structural MRI using FastSurfer segmentation. Multivariable linear regression models examined associations between CP volume, ALPS index, and global cognitive performance measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Models were adjusted for age, sex, education, APOE \u03b54 status, WMH burden and plasma phosphorylated tau (pTau217). Interaction terms tested whether CP structure and glymphatic diffusion jointly influenced cognition. Larger CP volume was associated with lower ALPS index after adjustment for demographic and molecular covariates (\u03b2\u202f=\u202f-282.19, p\u202f=\u202f0.015). CP volume and ALPS index were not independently associated with MoCA scores; however, a significant interaction between CP volume and ALPS index was observed (\u03b2\u202f=\u202f-13,299.09, p\u202f=\u202f0.036). The association between CP volume and cognitive performance depended on DTI-ALPS, such that larger CP volumes were associated with poorer MoCA scores at higher ALPS values, whereas CP volume showed little association with cognition at lower ALPS values. This interaction improved model fit compared with main-effects models (R2 \u202f=\u202f0.31). The findings remained significant after adjusting for CSF volume and were replicated using MMSE as the outcome. Plasma pTau217 levels were strongly associated with worse cognition but did not significantly modify the CP-ALPS interaction. CP enlargement is associated with glymphatic diffusion, and its relationship with cognitive performance varies across DTI-ALPS index values. These findings suggest that interactions between CSF regulatory systems may correlate with cognitive performance in a state-dependent manner. Notably, higher ALPS values in individuals with enlarged CP may reflect compensatory or altered perivascular fluid dynamics rather than preserved glymphatic function, highlighting the complexity of interpreting diffusion-based markers of brain clearance.",

The astrocytic APOE genotype had little to no effect on the transcellular damage response. NPCs overexpressing the amyloid-\u03b2 protein precursor responded more robustly when co-cultured with damaged astrocytes. Differentiated neurons showed no significant changes in their DNA damage response to damaged astrocytes.ConclusionsThis study is the first to demonstrate that astrocytic DNA damage may contribute to early stages of neuronal pathology in AD by inducing a DNA damage response in vulnerable neuronal populations.",

This approach has shown potential in the treatment of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and acute psychiatric conditions, as well as in emergencies such as anxiety attacks and migraine episodes. Recent clinical studies investigating intranasal formulations of rivastigmine, insulin, and olanzapine, among other drugs, have provided encouraging evidence supporting the clinical translation of this delivery strategy. In addition, FDA-approved intranasal products indicated for central nervous system disorders, including diazepam and midazolam for seizure management, and triptans for migraine, demonstrate the growing clinical relevance of intranasal drug delivery. Both preclinical and clinical studies have reported encouraging outcomes, particularly when intranasal delivery is combined with nanoformulations and specialised delivery devices designed to enhance olfactory deposition. Intranasal administration is non-invasive, painless, and may improve patient adherence while enhancing brain bioavailability. Nevertheless, further well-designed clinical studies are required to establish the long-term safety, efficacy, and clinical applicability of this delivery strategy.",

This review explores biomarkers for detecting, monitoring, and mitigating neurotoxicity, and discusses underlying mechanisms. It covers neurotoxic agents like pesticides, heavy metals, solvents, pollutants, and drugs such as chemotherapeutics, immunosuppressants, and antibiotics. Despite diverse exposures, they share mechanisms like oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis, leading to neuronal injury and cognitive issues. Biomarkers-including proteins (neurofilament light chain, GFAP, UCH-L1), genetic/epigenetic tools (DNA methylation, microRNAs), metabolic markers (oxidative stress, neurotransmitter metabolites), imaging (MRI, PET), electrophysiology (EEG, ERPs), and new platforms like extracellular vesicles-provide multidimensional insights. They enable early detection and mechanistic understanding vital for neuroprotective strategies. The review highlights biomarker-guided therapies, such as antioxidants, mitochondrial stabilizers, anti-inflammatory drugs, nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes, and multimodal approaches. It emphasizes validation, standardization, and clinical integration of biomarkers to support personalized medicine. Overall, biomarkers are crucial for advancing neurotoxicity prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, bridging research and clinical practice to safeguard neural health.",

This review critically examines the evidence that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), initially developed for diabetes and obesity, may influence AD related pathways or reduce AD risk in metabolically vulnerable populations. Metabolic syndrome and AD related cognitive impairment share biological mechanisms including vascular damage, insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, suggesting that therapies targeting metabolic dysfunction could influence neurological outcomes. GLP-1RAs are notable for combining systemic benefits, like weight loss, improved glycaemic control, and reduced cardiovascular risk, with possible but incompletely established central nervous system effects. Experimental studies suggest that some GLP-1RAs may reduce amyloid and tau pathology, support mitochondrial function, and limit neuroinflammation, although recent preclinical studies and limited brain penetrance argue against a direct neuroprotective effect. Observational data suggest lower dementia rates among users compared with other antidiabetic treatments. However, the recent EVOKE and EVOKE + trials showed that oral semaglutide did not slow clinical progression in early symptomatic AD, despite positive biomarker effects. This highlights the challenge of translating biological plausibility into meaningful clinical benefit and refocuses attention on disease stage, target population, and mechanism. Beyond summarising evidence, this review advocates a more cautious and mechanism specific framework: preserving cognitive health may require addressing systemic metabolic dysfunction rather than targeting the brain alone. GLP-1 RAs have failed to show an effect in symptomatic AD, but their effects on metabolism might still be beneficial at earlier stages, such as the preclinical phase of AD. Future studies should determine whether earlier intervention in metabolically enriched groups can alter AD related cognitive, vascular, and biomarker trajectories.",

We profiled 832,505 human myeloid cells from the prefrontal cortex of 1,607 donors spanning the lifespan and showing varying degrees of AD neuropathology. We delineated six subclasses comprising 13 transcriptionally distinct subtypes and identified adaptive changes associated with aging and AD progression. Here we show that a disease-associated microglial subtype, characterized by elevated GPNMB expression and enriched for polygenic AD risk, expands with AD pathology and shows increased phagocytic activity. We identify MITF as an upstream regulator required to maintain this microglial state. Cell-cell interaction analyses prioritize APOE-SORL1 and APOE-TREM2 signaling pairs associated with disease progression. Using human and mouse models, we demonstrate that the neuroprotective effects of this microglial subtype depend on TREM2. These findings provide mechanistic insights into myeloid cell function in aging and AD, aiding therapeutic discovery.",

Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), derived from age and blood pressure, and provides a practical, non-invasive index of vascular stiffness and overall vascular health. Older African Americans experience a disproportionate burden of vascular disease and AD. Genetic risk factors such as APOE \u03b54 and ABCA7-80 (rs115550680) further increase AD susceptibility. However, whether these genetic risks influence vascular stiffness and how that may interact with AD pathology remains unknown, especially in African Americans. A total of 143 older African Americans (mean age\u00a0=\u00a071.10\u00a0\u00b1\u00a06.83 years; 109 women) were included. We examined the effects of both ABCA7-80 and APOE \u03b54 genotypes on ePWV and plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217). All regression models controlled for sex, education, pulse pressure, waist-to-hip ratio, global cognitive status, hypertension status, and APOE genotype (APOE genotype only used for ABCA7-80 regression models). ABCA7-80 risk allele carriers exhibited higher ePWV (F (1,130)\u00a0=\u00a08.16, p\u00a0=\u00a00.005, \u03b72 p\u00a0=\u00a00.064) and higher p-tau217 levels (F (1,130)\u00a0=\u00a030.11, p\u00a0<\u00a00.001, \u03b72 p \u00a0=\u00a00.201). APOE \u03b54 allele carriers also showed higher p-tau217 levels (F (1,131)\u00a0=\u00a012.96, p\u00a0<\u00a00.001, \u03b72 p\u00a0=\u00a00.092). ABCA7-80 significantly moderated the relationship between ePWV and p-tau217 (F(1,130)\u00a0=\u00a06.58, p\u00a0<\u00a00.001), such that higher ePWV was associated with higher p-tau217 among ABCA7-80 risk carriers (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.52, t (130)\u00a0=\u00a02.69, p\u00a0=\u00a00.008). ABCA7-80 risk, but not APOE \u03b54, heightens susceptibility to the tau-related effects of compromised vascular health among older African Americans. These findings identify a genetically vulnerable subgroup in which vascular stiffness may disproportionately accelerate AD-related tau pathology and highlight vascular health as a modifiable target for reducing AD risk in African Americans.",

A knowledge gap remains in applying DNA methylation (DNAm) to capture AD-specific signatures. We developed the AD DNA Methylation Index (AD-DMI), a brain-derived risk index constructed from 100 CpG sites identified by elastic-net logistic regression of methylation data from postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex tissue. AD-DMI was evaluated in 722 older adults, including individuals with normal cognition (NC), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and AD. AD-relevant associations were tested using generalized linear models, logistic regression, and path analyses, with applicable covariate adjustments. Higher AD-DMI scores were associated with lower global cognitive function, greater global AD neuropathologic burden, and increased odds of subjective memory complaints. AD-DMI predicted clinical diagnosis across the continuum, independent of cognition and pathology. Compared to the Cortical clock, AD-DMI showed stronger and more specific associations with both cognitive and pathological outcomes. Genes mapped to AD-DMI CpGs overlapped with eight genetic loci identified in AD genome-wide association studies, including RELN, LRP1B, and PDE9A. AD-DMI was significantly associated with increased methylation at CpGs in APOE, HOXA3, and ANK1. AD-DMI provides a biologically grounded framework for linking disease-relevant methylation changes with cognitive and pathological outcomes in AD.",

EBDEVs were isolated by differential and density gradient ultracentrifugation, then characterized for morphology, size, stability, and composition. Their anti-inflammatory activity was assessed in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. In vivo, acute UC was induced in C57BL/6 mice by 2.5% DSS. Disease severity, intestinal barrier integrity, TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB pathway activation, and gut microbiota composition were evaluated. EBDEVs exhibited a typical spherical structure and were rich in bioactive components such as lipids, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Macrophages readily internalized them and significantly inhibited LPS-induced NO production. In UC mice, EBDEVs ameliorated weight loss, colon shortening, and tissue damage, while reducing serum inflammatory cytokines. EBDEVs restored intestinal barrier function by regulating tight junction proteins. Mechanistically, EBDEVs suppressed the activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-\u03baB and downstream NLRP3 inflammasome inflammatory signaling cascades, and remodeled the dysregulated gut microbiota structure. EBDEVs alleviate DSS-induced UC in mice by repairing the intestinal barrier, inhibiting inflammatory pathways, and modulating gut microbiota.",

The complement cascade is closely related to AD-associated pathological processes; however, the precise mechanisms underlying its contributions remain incompletely elucidated.ObjectiveWe aim to investigate the changes in complement protein expression during AD progression.MethodsThis study enrolled 285 participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database. Participants were classified into biomarker-defined groups based on predefined cutoff values for A\u03b242 and phosphorylated tau (P-tau). We compared cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of complement proteins (C1q, C2, C3, C4a, C5, C6, C8b, and factor B) across these subgroups. Furthermore, we explored their associations with core AD biomarkers (A\u03b242, P-tau, and T-tau) and clinical characteristics. Additionally, we investigated age-related changes in complement gene expression within the cerebral cortex of 3xTg mice using single-nucleus RNA sequencing.ResultsComplement protein levels in the CSF of A\u2009+\u2009subjects were significantly lower than those in A- subjects, and complement protein levels were positively correlated with A\u03b2 pathology. Complement protein levels were influenced by factors such as age, gender, body mass index, APOE genotype, and hypertension. Compared with control mice, the complement gene C1qa in microglia was upregulated throughout the entire pathological cycle in 3xTg AD mice.ConclusionsComplement proteins undergo significant changes during the pathogenesis of AD, and alterations in their levels may reflect early pathological changes in AD and warrant further investigation. Notably, our findings suggest that microglia may contribute to complement-mediated pathological processes associated with AD.",

Lower education (14.9 (3.2) versus 17.3 (2.1)), Hispanic ethnicity (50.0% versus 11.0%), and hypercholesterolemia (adjusted odds ratio: 6.67) were risk factors for progression in SCD, p\u2009\u2264\u20090.05, whereas APOE status was not.

        "42585680": "ID: 42585680\nTitle: Zexieyin formula ameliorates high-fat diet-induced cognitive impairment via pericyte-associated LRP1 modulating CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway.\nAbstract: The global rise in obesity and metabolic syndrome is increasingly recognized as a major risk factor for cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. Chronic high-fat diet (HFD) consumption disrupts blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, a pivotal pathological event that facilitates neurotoxic infiltration, neuroinflammation, and neuronal injury. Brain pericytes play a central role in maintaining BBB function and are particularly vulnerable to HFD-induced metabolic stress. Loss or dysfunction of pericytes contributes to BBB breakdown. Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which is highly expressed in pericytes, is a critical regulator of neurovascular integrity; its downregulation activates the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling cascade, thereby exacerbating BBB permeability. This study aimed to investigate whether the traditional Chinese medicine formula Zexieyin Formula (ZXYF) ameliorates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting pericyte dysfunction. We hypothesized that ZXYF exerts neuroprotective effects by restoring pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, suppressing activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and consequently attenuating hippocampal neuronal damage. Both in vivo and in vitro models were employed to elucidate the underlying neurovascular mechanisms. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 16 weeks to induce cognitive impairment, followed by a 4-week intervention with ZXYF; atorvastatin (ATO) served as a positive control. Cognitive function was evaluated using a battery of behavioral tests. BBB integrity was assessed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Western blot analysis of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Cerebrovascular permeability was further evaluated using sodium fluorescein extravasation assays combined with co-localization analysis with the endothelial marker CD31. Pericyte-associated LRP1 expression in the hippocampus was examined by immunofluorescent co-localization of LRP1 with the pericyte marker PDGFR-\u03b2. Activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway in hippocampal tissue was analyzed by Western blotting. In vitro, mouse brain microvascular pericytes (MBVPs) were exposed to free fatty acids (FFA) to model metabolic stress. LRP1 expression and localization were assessed by confocal microscopy, and protein levels of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway were determined by Western blotting. An LRP1-knockdown MBVPs cell line was generated via lentiviral transduction to evaluate LRP1 dependence. HFD-fed mice exhibited pronounced cognitive deficits, which were significantly ameliorated by ZXYF treatment. TEM and Western blot analyses revealed marked BBB disruption in HFD-fed mice, characterized by ultrastructural abnormalities and reduced expression of ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Immunofluorescence demonstrated increased sodium fluorescein leakage in the hippocampus, indicating cerebrovascular damage, which was partially reversed by ZXYF. Mechanistically, confocal imaging showed a significant reduction in LRP1 expression in hippocampal pericytes of HFD-fed mice, accompanied by activation of the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 pathway. ZXYF intervention restored pericyte-associated LRP1 expression and suppressed pathway activation. Consistently, lentivirus-mediated LRP1 knockdown in MBVPs abolished the inhibitory effects of ZXYF on CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling, demonstrating that ZXYF-mediated pathway regulation is LRP1-dependent. This study demonstrates that ZXYF alleviates HFD-induced cognitive impairment by targeting BBB function. ZXYF restores pericyte-associated LRP1 expression, thereby inhibiting the CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 signaling pathway, preserving BBB integrity, and protecting hippocampal neurons. These findings identify pericytes and the LRP1/CypA/NF-\u03baB/MMP-9 axis as critical therapeutic targets in metabolic cognitive disorders and provide a novel mechanistic basis for the neuroprotective effects of traditional Chinese medicine.",

It functions through RNA-guided Cas nucleases, directing DNA cleavage and utilizing the native DNA repair machinery for genetic manipulations. Advances in CRISPR technology have significantly enhanced the precision and flexibility of techniques for genome editing. The enzyme Cas9's ability to cut DNA at exact site has revolutionized genome editing by enabling accurate modifications within living eukaryotic cells. This review critically examines recent developments in CRISPR-based technologies, including Cas9, Cas12, base editing, prime editing, and CRISPR-mediated gene regulation. It highlights their rising applications in ageing research, with more emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The review also discusses the major pharmacological and translational challenges that currently limit clinical applications, including inefficient tissue-specific delivery, off-target genome editing, immunogenicity, manufacturing complexity, and long-term safety concerns. Also, recent progress in both, viral and non-viral delivery methods are critically evaluated, including adeno-associated viruses, lentivirus vectors, lipid nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, exosomes, electroporation, and microinjection, is thoroughly discussed to highlight their therapeutic potential and translational limitations. Current studies indicate that CRISPR-based approaches have preclinical potential for targeting important hallmarks of ageing, particularly genomic instability, telomere attrition, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Although amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) plaques and tau pathology are hallmark features of AD, the limited efficacy of many A\u03b2- and tau-targeted therapies suggests that AD arises from systemic and cerebral dysfunction. Aging-associated homeostatic failure-including hepatic metabolic, vascular, neuroendocrine, inflammatory, oxidative, and mitochondrial dysfunctions-promotes the accumulation of neurotoxic A\u03b2 and tau species, ultimately driving neurodegeneration and impairing endogenous neuroregeneration. Emerging evidence suggests that regular physical exercise induces metabolic, cardiovascular, and neuroendocrine adaptations, improving hepatic metabolic function, cerebral blood flow, oxygen delivery, mitochondrial activity, waste clearance pathways, and brain health. Exercise-induced musculoskeletal-brain crosstalk further contributes to these benefits through the release of myokines and extracellular vesicles, which facilitate systemic intercellular communication to regulate neurovascular function, neuroplasticity, and neuroregeneration. Collectively, these adaptations reduce chronic inflammation and oxidative stress while enhancing resilience across interconnected peripheral and cerebral systems. Therefore, physical exercise may represent a multifaceted preventive and therapeutic strategy capable of restoring brain-body homeostasis and mitigating AD progression. This comprehensive review discusses aging-associated systemic mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis and summarizes recent advances in the understanding of exercise-mediated protection against AD progression.",

This process is driven not only by genetic factors but also by environmental factors, such as diet. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide, characterized by cognitive decline, synaptic dysfunction, and neuronal loss. Despite extensive research, effective disease-modifying therapies remain limited. Increasing evidence indicates that oxidative stress plays a central role in AD pathogenesis, acting as a key link between \u03b2-amyloid accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation. Accordingly, dietary strategies have been proposed to mitigate these pathological processes and may represent an important component of Alzheimer's disease prevention. Moreover, emerging evidence on the gut-brain axis highlights the critical role of gut microbiota in regulating neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Dysbiosis has been associated with increased permeability of the intestinal barrier, systemic inflammation, and accelerated neurodegeneration. Dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean, DASH, and MIND diets may exert beneficial effects by simultaneously influencing antioxidant status and microbial composition. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the role of oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease and evaluate the potential of dietary interventions in modulating mechanisms involved in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis and supporting cognitive health. Particular attention is given to the neuroprotective effects of dietary antioxidants, including vitamins, polyphenols, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which act through the reduction in reactive oxygen species, modulation of inflammatory pathways, and support of neuronal survival. Although current findings are promising, inconsistencies in clinical data indicate the need for further well-designed studies. Future research should focus on personalized nutritional strategies integrating dietary, genetic, and microbiome-related factors. Targeting oxidative stress through diet and microbiota modulation represents a promising complementary strategy for Alzheimer's disease prevention and supportive management, although further clinical studies are required to establish disease-modifying effects.",

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.",

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).

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.",

AD's widely known pathological hallmarks include extracellular amyloid-\u03b2 deposition, neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and cognitive decline. These pathological hallmarks can be explained at the neurochemical level as a loss of biochemical homeostasis in the brain. Dysregulated kinase-phosphatase signalling, altered post-translational modifications, and disrupted synaptic neurochemistry eventually push tau protein towards its pathological aggregation-prone form. Among these hallmarks, recent research has found that tau pathology plays a major role in neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Tau protein typically acts as a microtubule-stabilizing protein that helps maintain neuronal structure. In AD, pathological hyperphosphorylation, post-translational modifications, and redistribution of tau trigger its dysfunction and cytotoxicity. Pathological tau protein accumulates in neurons and undergoes a series of changes that include hyperphosphorylation, aberrant post-translational modifications, missorting, aggregation, fibrillization, and seeding as it spreads between cells. Mutations in APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 can have downstream effects on tau pathology. Variants in APOE, BIN1, PICALM, CD2AP, and TREM2 also influence tau pathology through cellular pathways including lipid metabolism, endocytic trafficking, proteostasis, and synaptic and neuroimmune mechanisms. These findings support a model in which tau dysfunction results from the convergence of molecular aberrations and genetic susceptibility within a pathological network involving amyloid-\u03b2, neuroinflammation, and synaptic failure. This review summarizes tau molecular and cellular mechanisms of tau dysfunction in AD, genetic factors regulating tau pathology, and emerging therapeutic approaches to mitigate tau-mediated neurodegeneration.",

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) possess considerable therapeutic potential; however, their clinical translation is constrained by insufficient bioactivity, poor targeting specificity, and uncontrolled release kinetics. Here, we present a multidimensional engineering strategy that overcomes these barriers synergistically. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP)-pretreated extracellular vesicles (TEVs) are enriched with anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative factors in their cargo, while Angiopep-2 (Ang2) peptide-modified TEVs (Ang-TEVs) confer significantly enhanced microglial targeting. A reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive hyaluronic acid (HA)-phenylboronic acid (PBA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel serves as an intelligent depot for sustained, on-demand Ang-TEVs release at the lesion site. This construct, Ang-TEVs@Gel, demonstrated robust lesion accumulation and selective microglial uptake. It delivered miR-664a-3p, which suppressed PIK3CA to attenuate PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling and unleash autophagic flux, reprogramming microglia toward a reparative state that enhanced myelin debris clearance and quelled inflammation. Consequently, axonal regeneration and remyelination were markedly improved, driving significant motor recovery in SCI mice. By integrating preconditioning, active targeting, and stimuli-responsive biomaterials, this strategy provides an elegant blueprint for engineering EV-based therapies to repair the injured central nervous system.",

To examine the association between AD-PRS and longitudinal CD across the AD spectrum and to evaluate the predictive contribution of individual AD-PRS variants. Large longitudinal observational study in a single-center cohort, with an external cohort to assess generalizability. Memory clinic cohort from Ace Alzheimer Center Barcelona (Ace) with external cohort using data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). The study included 7,233 patients from Ace and 863 from ADNI, with a mean follow-up of 5.4 years in Ace and 3.6 years in ADNI. A biomarker sub-cohort included 1075 participants from Ace and 569 from ADNI. CD was quantified as the annual change in Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores estimated using linear mixed-effects models. Associations between AD-PRS and longitudinal MMSE trajectories were tested adjusting for clinical and sociodemographic (CSD) variables and APOE genotype. Machine learning models and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were used to evaluate the predictive relevance of individual variants. Higher AD-PRS was associated with faster CD in the full clinical cohort and in biomarker subset, independently of APOE genotype. AD-PRS was not associated with baseline MMSE. APOE \u03b54 was associated with lower baseline MMSE and faster CD only in the full clinical sample. Genetic predictors provided limited improvement beyond CSD variables, and model performance showed limited reproducibility across cohorts. AD-PRS is associated with longitudinal CD across the AD spectrum. Although polygenic burden contributes to variability in cognitive trajectories, its added predictive value beyond routinely available clinical variables remains modest.",

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2) is highly enriched in central resident microglia; it is also expressed by border-associated macrophages and lesion-infiltrating monocyte-derived macrophages, rather than being restricted to parenchymal microglia, acting as a key membrane receptor regulating microglial immune balance, lipid transport, lysosomal degradation and cell polarization. Existing studies demonstrate that TREM2 binds various ligands including myelin lipid debris, apolipoprotein E (APOE) and apoptotic cell components, then activates multiple DNAX-activating protein of 12\u00a0kDa (DAP12)-dependent signaling cascades: spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC\u03b32), beta-catenin and transcription factor EB (TFEB). These pathways jointly clear myelin debris, remodel cholesterol circulation, restrain pro-inflammatory microenvironment and promote oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPCs) differentiation, exerting bidirectional functions in physiological myelin homeostasis, acute injury response and chronic repair. This narrative review summarizes TREM2's gene and protein structure, ligand recognition modes and full signal transduction network. It illustrates the molecular mechanisms of TREM2 in myelin maintenance, debris clearance and regeneration, compares its distinct pathological roles in various demyelinating diseases, and concludes translational strategies including TREM2 agonism, downstream pathway intervention and biomarker exploitation. Furthermore, this narrative review analyzes unsolved core scientific issues and puts forward research routes for mechanistic research and clinical transformation, offering systematic theoretical basis for targeted drug development against demyelinating encephalopathies.",

Centiloid score, derived from amyloid PET/CT, provides a quantitative assessment of baseline amyloid burden; however, its relationship with ARIA risk remains uncertain. This study evaluated whether baseline Centiloid score was associated with ARIA in patients treated with lecanemab and included a secondary exploratory analysis of regional amyloid uptake. We retrospectively identified patients treated with lecanemab within a single academic health system who underwent pretreatment florbetaben amyloid PET/CT. Centiloid scores were generated using a standardized processing pipeline. Multivariable logistic regression evaluated the association between baseline Centiloid and ARIA, adjusting for age, sex, APOE \u03b54 carrier status, and baseline cerebral microbleed presence. ARIA-H and ARIA-E subgroups were evaluated separately using Firth penalized logistic regression. A secondary Cox proportional hazards analysis accounted for unequal follow up durations. Exploratory regional analysis compared baseline amyloid uptake in regions that subsequently developed ARIA-E with that in mirrored contralateral regions. The primary analysis included 41 patients with ARIA and 72 controls who completed at least 14 lecanemab infusions without ARIA. Baseline Centiloid was not independently associated with ARIA (adjusted OR per 10-Centiloid increase, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.89-1.15]; P = .90), ARIA-H (OR, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.89-1.14]; P = .91), or ARIA-E (OR, 1.02 [95% CI, 0.87-1.21]; P = .78). In the Cox analysis of 41 patients with ARIA and 100 patients without ARIA, baseline Centiloid was not associated with time to ARIA (adjusted HR, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.91-1.11]; P = .91). Among 19 patients with ARIA-E included in the regional analysis, baseline uptake was modestly greater in regions that subsequently developed ARIA-E than in mirrored contralateral regions for SUVmax (3.44 \u00b1 0.78 versus 3.25 \u00b1 0.77; P = .02) and SUVmean (2.60 \u00b1 0.56 versus 2.45 \u00b1 0.64; P = .01). Baseline global Centiloid was not independently associated with ARIA in patients treated with lecanemab. Exploratory regional analysis demonstrated modest differences in baseline amyloid uptake in regions that subsequently developed ARIA-E, warranting confirmation in larger prospective studies.",

Recent publications emphasize that an accumulation of bacterial derived extracellular vesicles within the circulation might be associated with the pathogenesis of various chronic inflammatory diseases and could potentially be used as diagnostic tool. Bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) were isolated and characterized via Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) from plasma samples of persons with CF (pwCF) without infection with P. aeruginosa (PsA-, n = 31), pwCF with confirmed P. aeruginosa infection (PsA+, n = 29), and control individuals (HC, n = 30). Size and concentration of bEVs were evaluated and correlated with clinical parameters. Western blot analyses were implemented to study the species-specific origin of bEVs, using lysates and reference vesicles. bEVs could be detected in all samples from both, HC and pwCF. Relative NF\u2011\u03baB induction, assessed via a TLR4 reporter assay, was significantly elevated in pwCF than in HC, with the strongest responses observed in PsA+ patients. emphasize bEV-associated activity. Surprisingly, CFTR modulator treatment (ETI) enhanced LPS concentration of bEVs in pwCF independent of P. aeruginosa colonization. Moreover, NF-kB induction correlated negatively with serum IgA levels in PsA+ patients. Direct detection of bEVs in plasma samples via Western blot was technically not possible. Our findings suggest a potential link between pulmonary P. aeruginosa colonization and increased systemic bEVs-associated activity as potential consequence of deficient mucosal barrier function. However, further research is required in order to validate our findings and to clarify the influence of ETI on bEV accumulation.",

Among mental health disorders, depression and Alzheimer disease (AD) have the higher impact on mental health globally as they are highly prevalent, cause long-term cognitive and mood deficits while they are deeply interconnected, with chronic stress raising as a risk factor and potential link between both disorders. This review focuses on the gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication network that links the gut microbiome with the central nervous system, and its role in brain malfunction and pathology related to stress, depression and AD. This intricate gut-brain crosstalk is orchestrated through top-down and bottom-up mechanisms implicating the HPA axis, the enteric nervous system as well as gut microbiota-derived metabolites, neurotransmitters, epigenetic processes and extracellular vesicles/exosomes that can contribute to depression and AD. The current work provides a comprehensive summary of evidence linking gut microbial alterations to these brain pathologies, with particular focus on lifestyle and nutrition (e.g. food, water) as critical regulators. Lastly, we explore the therapeutic potential of microbiome-targeted interventions including pro/pre/post-biotics, and trace elements (e.g. lithium and silicon). Overall, this review highlights the potential of microbiome-centered strategies as novel interventions to support mental health and wellbeing.",

Single-modal MRI fails to fully capture multilevel hippocampal neuropathology, hindering accurate early diagnosis and prognostic prediction of AD. This narrative review summarizes recent advances in structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, quantitative susceptibility mapping, arterial spin labeling, and functional MRI for evaluating hippocampal and medial temporal lobe abnormalities in AD. These techniques provide a multifaceted characterization of AD-associated hippocampal alterations, including macroscopic atrophy, microstructural degeneration, metabolic dysregulation, aberrant iron deposition, hemodynamic dysfunction, and abnormal neuronal activity. Hippocampal damage in AD exhibits distinct subfield specificity, hemispheric asymmetry, and stage-dependent progression, modulated by A\u03b2/tau pathology, neuroinflammation, and apolipoprotein E \u03b54 genotype. Notably, multimodal imaging fusion integrated with machine learning outperforms single-modal biomarkers, significantly improving the accuracy of AD early screening, differential diagnosis, and prognostic prediction. Nevertheless, existing studies are hampered by inadequate pathological validation, limited sample sizes, unsatisfactory reproducibility, and multicenter technical heterogeneity. Multimodal MRI offers robust non-invasive evidence for exploring AD hippocampal pathophysiology. Future large-scale multicenter longitudinal studies combining artificial intelligence will advance precision diagnosis and targeted therapy for AD by clarifying the interplay among AD pathology, genetics, and heterogeneous hippocampal injury.",

Linear mixed-effects models were used to examine the contributions of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) GDNF levels and APOE \u03b54 status to longitudinal changes in cognitive measures, including the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Clinical Dementia Rating - Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB), the 13-item Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale - Cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog-13), and the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) total score.ResultsWe found that the 3-way interaction (APOE \u03b54\u2009\u00d7\u2009GDNF \u00d7 time) was significant for MMSE, CDR-SB, and ADAS-Cog-13, and of marginal significance for RAVLT total score, after adjusting for age, sex, and education. Specifically, individuals who were APOE \u03b54 carriers with low CSF GDNF levels showed the fastest rate of cognitive decline among the four groups (Low/APOE4-, High/APOE4-, Low/APOE4+, and High/APOE4+).ConclusionsAPOE \u03b54 appears to interact with CSF GDNF levels to affect longitudinal cognitive decline among older adults without dementia.",

In recent years, pyroptosis, a gasdermin-mediated form of inflammatory programmed cell death, has been recognized as a potential mechanism linking innate immune activation to neurodegenerative injury. This review summarizes the major molecular pathways of pyroptosis, including the canonical inflammasome-caspase-1-GSDMD pathway, the noncanonical caspase-4/5/11-GSDMD pathway, and alternative pathways involving caspase-3/GSDME and caspase-8, with a focus on their roles in the initiation, amplification, and propagation of neuroinflammation in AD. Current evidence suggests that AD-related stimuli, including A\u03b2 aggregation, tau pathology, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and lysosomal damage, can induce inflammasome activation, gasdermin cleavage, and inflammatory mediator release, thereby sustaining chronic neuroinflammation. Concurrently, microglia, neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes may exhibit varying degrees of pyroptosis-related responses, contributing to impaired A\u03b2 clearance, neuronal injury, glial dysfunction, and myelin pathology, respectively. This review further summarizes potential therapeutic strategies targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome, caspases, gasdermins, natural bioactive compounds, and the gut-brain axis. Overall, pyroptosis provides a novel framework for understanding the interplay between neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in AD; however, its cell-type-specific roles, stage-dependent effects, and translational potential remain to be fully elucidated.",

Beyond its metabolic role, insulin functions as a neurotrophic and immunomodulatory factor in the developing brain. However, whether early enhancement of central insulin signaling can mitigate the neuroinflammatory and behavioral sequelae of HI remains unclear. Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to HI (right common carotid artery ligation followed by 90\u202fmin of 8% oxygen) at P10 and randomized to Sham\u00a0+\u00a0Vehicle, Sham\u00a0+\u00a0Insulin, HI\u00a0+\u00a0Vehicle, or HI\u00a0+\u00a0Insulin groups (n\u00a0=\u00a012 males and 12 females/group). Recombinant human insulin (rhInsulin) (50\u202f\u03bcg/day) was administered intranasally once daily from P10 to P12, and behavioral and histological outcomes were assessed at P21-P25. Neonatal HI produced persistent ADHD-like behavioral abnormalities and deficits in neurobiological outcomes. Notably, sex-specific responses were observed: males exhibited greater deficits in inattention, spatial working memory, impulsivity, adaptive social development, myelination and vascularization, whereas females showed more pronounced increases in repetitive and compulsive-like behaviors. Intranasal rhInsulin treatment significantly attenuated HI-induced behavioral deficits by 100% and increased myelination (MBP+) by 64% in cingulate white matter, restored dendritic expression (MAP2+) by 56%, and reduced astrocytes (GFAP+) by 70% in hippocampal regions, indicating suppression of chronic astrogliosis neuroinflammation. Furthermore, intranasal rhInsulin increased cerebral vascular volume by 49% and normalized vessel diameters as assessed by micro-computed tomography (microCT) imaging, suggesting enhanced neurovascular integrity. While our previous study demonstrated that intranasal rhInsulin attenuated acute brain injury, neuronal apoptosis, and short-term sensorimotor deficits following neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI), its effects on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes remained unclear. The present study addresses this important knowledge gap by evaluating juvenile behavioral and neurobiological outcomes through P25, including ADHD-like behaviors, social deficits, repetitive behaviors, white matter integrity, astrogliosis, cerebrovascular development, and sex-specific treatment responses. Collectively, these findings identify central insulin signaling as a key regulator of post-HI neuroimmune and neurodevelopmental trajectories and support intranasal insulin as a promising, minimally invasive therapeutic approach to reduce the long-term neurobehavioral sequelae of neonatal brain injury.",

Current treatments predominantly address symptoms without modifying structural disease progression, highlighting the need for disease-modifying strategies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), particularly umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs), exert therapeutic effects primarily through paracrine mechanisms rather than direct engraftment. The UC-MSCs secretome, comprising soluble bioactive factors and extracellular vesicles, modulates pro-inflammatory signaling, inhibits chondrocyte apoptosis, and promotes cartilage matrix biosynthesis. In vitro studies demonstrate restoration of anabolic chondrocyte phenotype, suppression of catabolic enzymes (MMP-13, ADAMTS-5), and attenuation of NF-\u03baB and MAPK pathway activation. Preclinical models show preservation of cartilage architecture, reduced synovial inflammation, and improved joint function following intra-articular administration. Early clinical investigations report reductions in pain scores and functional improvements with favorable short-term safety profiles, though evidence remains largely derived from MSCs-based rather than secretome-specific interventions. Current findings support the biological plausibility and translational potential of UC-MSCs secretome therapy; however, clinical evidence remains limited and heterogeneous.

Whether and how amyloid-\u03b2 (A\u03b2) pathology modifies the longitudinal cognitive trajectory associated with APOE \u03b54 in the pre-dementia stage remains unclear. We conducted a 2-year longitudinal study in 70 pre-dementia adults from the Alzheimer's disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), assessing APOE genotype, A\u03b2 status via positron emission tomography (PET), multi-domain cognition, structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volumes, and resting-state functional connectivity of a predefined hippocampus-auditory network. Linear mixed-effects models evaluated the three-way interaction of time, APOE \u03b54 carrier status, and A\u03b2 status on longitudinal trajectories. Sensitivity and exploratory mediation analyses were performed. A significant three-way interaction (Time \u00d7 APOE \u03b54\u202f\u00d7\u202fA\u03b2 status) was observed for global cognitive decline (ADAS13: \u03b2\u202f=\u202f-4.54, p\u202f=\u202f0.001, P_FDR\u202f=\u202f0.003), indicating that A\u03b2 pathology moderates the effect of APOE \u03b54 on cognitive trajectories. Post-hoc analyses revealed that among A\u03b2-positive individuals, APOE \u03b54 carriers exhibited a slower rate of cognitive decline compared to non-carriers, whereas no such difference was evident in A\u03b2-negative individuals. This moderating effect was robust to sensitivity analyses and was consistently observed across multiple cognitive domains (MMSE, CDRSB, FAQ, MoCA; all P_FDR\u202f<\u202f0.01). However, no significant three-way interactions survived multiple comparison correction for regional brain volumes or hippocampus-auditory functional connectivity, though nominally significant trends were observed in middle temporal gyrus volume and specific temporal lobe connections. Longitudinal hippocampal atrophy did not mediate the observed association. A\u03b2 pathology modifies the longitudinal cognitive trajectory associated with APOE \u03b54 in pre-dementia adults over a 2-year period. While consistent with the antagonistic pleiotropy framework, this observation requires independent replication, and alternative explanations including cognitive reserve and survivor bias warrant careful consideration.",

However, there is increasing evidence suggests that these pathological hallmarks are secondary to deeper metabolic defect in the brain. AD is progressively being recognized as a metabolic synaptic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, impaired cellular energy homeostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic degeneration. Synaptic plasticity is closely linked to the insulin-sensitive system of glucose utilization, mitochondrial activity, and local protein synthesis that render the synapses highly sensitive to the malfunction of the metabolic system. Recent discoveries highlight the important role of exosomes in mediating communication between neural cells by transferring regulatory miRNAs across neuronal networks. Exosomal miRNAs regulate insulin signaling, synaptic gene expression, mitochondrial function, and neuroinflammation. In AD, exosomal miRNA profiles are significantly altered, with enrichment of miR-29, miR-34a, miR-146a, and miR-21, alongside depletion of synapse-supporting miR-132. These changes contribute to insulin resistance, impaired glucose transporter trafficking, dendritic spine destabilization, and reduced expression of synaptic proteins such as PSD-95 and synaptophysin, ultimately leading to cognitive decline. Importantly, neuron-derived exosomes can cross the blood-brain barrier, making their miRNA cargo promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for early AD diagnosis and precision treatment.",

This makes EV lipidomics highly relevant for diagnostics, therapeutics, mechanism-informed discovery, and emerging biotechnology. Recent advances in isolation, characterization, and lipidomics approaches are making EV lipid profiles increasingly interpretable. At the same time, low sample biomass, heterogeneity, co-isolated particles, extraction bias, and variable confidence in lipid detection, annotation, and quantification remain important design considerations. In this review, we discuss how recent EV lipidomics studies are moving beyond untargeted biomarker discovery toward mechanistic questions about membrane adaptation, cellular origin, intercellular communication, and function. We then examine applications in cancer and neurodegeneration, where recent work illustrates the biological and biotechnological potential of EV lipidomes.

Biomarker positivity alone does not guarantee clinically meaningful progression, often leaving studies underpowered. Evaluate model-based operational trial enrichment within an amyloid-positive, cognitively normal subgroup. Trained on a small cohort from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (N = 113), with external validation using baseline data of a similar small cohort from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (N = 161). Gradient-boosted decision trees estimated progression risk and projected power under alternative enrollment strategies. Predictors included neuropsychological scores, demographics, medical history, and ApoE \u03b54 genotype. The primary outcome was clinical progression to cognitive impairment within 1- and 3-year follow-up windows. In the independent testing set, the model successfully increased the effective prevalence of the outcome.

The disease is late onset, and to date, no early diagnosis is possible. Patients with ALS have a 5-year survival rate since diagnosis. Though recent studies highlighted the possible mechanisms of motor neuron degeneration in ALS, the treatment options are extremely limited. This underscores the urgent need to develop effective therapeutic strategies that can prolong patient survival and ultimately slow/halt ALS progression. Extracellular vesicles released from the degenerative milieu contribute to ALS propagation and progression by shuttling misfolded proteins, proinflammatory cytokines, and neurotoxins; thus, they could serve as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis. The advancement of stem cell-based therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and the evolving understanding of extracellular vesicles as potential biotherapeutics provide a ray of hope for millions of patients suffering from neurological disorders/neurodegenerative diseases like ALS.",

This protein is primarily located at astrocytes endfeet within the blood cerebral barrier and other central nervous system (CNS) junctions, facilitating the movement of water in both directions, buffering potassium levels, and aiding in the clearance of interstitial solutes, along with toxic metabolites such as amyloid-\u03b2, via the glymphatic system. Changes in the expression or polarization of AQPs are implicated in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and ischemic stroke. Impaired functionality of AQPs is involved in a number of pathological processes including heightened oxidative stress, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, and neuroinflammation. Such pathways are targeted by transcription factors, including nuclear factor \u03baB (NF\u03baB), and signaling pathways, including p38 MAPK, that increase AQPs expression following the action of stressors. Furthermore, impairment of AQPs polarity suppresses glymphatic clearance and promotes toxic protein accumulation, one of the key features of Alzheimer 's disease. AQPs structural features, including its six transmembrane helices and conserved NPA motifs, are critical for function, positioning it as a putative therapeutic target. Preclinical data support the notion that modulation of AQPs activity may offer neuroprotection through restoration of homeostasis and reduction of inflammation in neurodegenerative disease. This review describes the mechanistic links between AQPs dysfunction and neurodegenerative disease, highlighting its potential and limitations as a therapeutic target for the prevention of CNS disorders.",
        "42608571": "ID: 42608571\nTitle: Microglia activation by derepression of endogenous retroviruses drives inflammation and cellular senescence.\nAbstract: Aging-associated loss of chromatin compaction is linked to derepression of retrotransposable elements (RTEs) in mouse and human tissues. Whether such RTE transcription contributes to the microglia activation that is common in aged brains is unknown. Here, we show that DAXX, a histone chaperone and RTE repressor, is downregulated during aging, preserves microglia homeostasis and inhibits cellular senescence. Loss of Daxx in young-adult microglia drives a reactive phenotype marked by chromatin decompaction at RTEs, loss of homeostatic markers, cell cycle re-entry and behavioral changes. This state leads to DNA damage and microglial depletion, followed by replacement with DAXX-deficient/Apoehigh microglia displaying features of senescence. Sustained induction of senescence relies on promyelocytic leukemia protein, a DAXX-interacting factor and interferon target. Together, these findings highlight the importance of heterochromatin maintenance in preserving adult microglial identity and plasticity, with broader implications for brain homeostasis, healthy aging and behavior.",
        "42608731": "ID: 42608731\nTitle: The mitophagy-inflammasome axis: a shared pathological hub in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) represent the most prevalent chronic neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by progressive loss of neurons as a core pathological feature. Despite discrepancies in their clinical phenotypes and signature pathological proteins, accumulating evidence has validated a common molecular pathogenic mechanism: dysfunctional bidirectional crosstalk between mitophagy and inflammasomes. As the central hub of neuronal energy metabolism, mitochondrial impairment triggers the release of damage-associated molecular patterns such as reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial DNA, which in turn activate inflammasomes (e.g., NLRP3) to elicit chronic neuroinflammation. Conversely, excessive inflammasome activation suppresses mitophagy, exacerbating the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and pathological protein aggregates, and forming a pathological mitochondrial damage-inflammatory activation-autophagy inhibition cycle. Microglia and astrocytes, key immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system, act as a hub within this regulatory network. Therapeutic strategies targeting the mitophagy-inflammasome axis have achieved remarkable advancements, including mitophagy agonists, inflammasome inhibitors, and dual-target modulators. This review summarizes recent findings regarding the pathogenic roles of \u03b2-amyloid and \u03b1-synuclein in AD and PD, as well as the protective effects offered by regulating mitophagy and inflammasome activity. Furthermore, the major directions and potential hurdles in the development of targeted therapeutics are discussed, in the aim of providing insights into the novel therapeutic avenues for the treatment of both disorders.",

However, research in this field remains fragmented, and a systematic overview of the overall knowledge structure and cutting-edge hotspots is lacking. A total of 594 English-language articles from the Web of Science Core Collection were selected for bibliometric analysis performed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, to elucidate the current application status, development trends, and core hotspots of neuroimaging technology in exosome research. The overall publication volume in this field shows an increasing trend over time. China ranks first in the number of publications (209 articles), while the United States has the highest citation count (9623 citations) and serves as a core country in the international collaboration network. The University of California is the institution with the most publications (29 articles). High-frequency keywords include \"extracellular vesicles,\" \"exosomes,\" \"brain,\" and \"Alzheimer's disease,\" with neuroimaging primarily serving as an assessment and validation tool. The knowledge foundation focuses on mechanisms of exosome traversal across the blood-brain barrier, in vivo imaging validation (e.g., tracking using gold nanoparticle labeling), and complementary validation of exosome biomarkers with imaging (e.g., consistency between peripheral blood exosomal proteins and amyloid positron emission tomography imaging). The field has evolved from exploring drug carriers and standardizing biomarkers toward understanding mechanisms and engineering applications. High-impact application hotspots in neuroimaging include magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography tracing targeting the blood-brain barrier, multimodal dynamic monitoring with positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, early diagnosis that combines imaging technology with exosomal biomarkers (e.g., microRNA), high-resolution detection of single exosomes (e.g., imaging flow cytometry), novel imaging probes (e.g., molecular beacons and photoacoustic probes), and deep learning-assisted automatic analysis of exosomal morphology. These findings confirm that neuroimaging is gradually being recognized as an important in vivo visualization validation tool in exosome research. Current research hotspots are highly focused on targeted imaging of exosome traversal across the blood-brain barrier, multimodal molecular imaging tracing, combined diagnosis based on exosomal biomarkers and neuroimaging, highresolution imaging at the single-vesicle level, and deep learning-assisted morphological characterization of exosomes. These findings provide crucial in vivo imaging evidence for exosome-based neural repair strategies. This evidence, in turn, can accelerate the clinical translation of exosomes in neuroregenerative medicine research.",

Postmortem association of [18F]SMBT-1 binding with pathology of AD and non-AD tauopathies is undefined. [18F]SMBT-1 binding, [3H]Pittsburgh compound B ([3H]PiB) binding, and MAO-B activity assays in brain homogenates, with [18F]SMBT-1 autoradiography and MAO-B immunoreactivity in relation to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), major histocompatibility complex II (MHC-II), A\u03b2, phosphorylated tau, cyano-Pittsburgh compound B (cyano-PiB), and X-34 on brain sections from AD, non-AD tauopathies, and nondemented controls. [18F]SMBT-1 binding correlated with MAO-B activity and [3H]PiB binding, with highest levels in AD. [18F]SMBT-1 autoradiography corresponded to MAO-B/GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes associated with A\u03b2 deposits in plaques and vasculature, more closely than to tau pathology. [18F]SMBT-1 binding and MAO-B activity in non-AD tauopathies partially overlapped controls and AD, with MAO-B/GFAP-immunoreactive astrocytes in areas with tau pathology. [18F]SMBT-1 is a promising biomarker of MAO-B reactive astrocytes in AD and non-AD tauopathies.",
        "42609405": "ID: 42609405\nTitle: The role of ECM-PIEZO1-axis-mediated mechanosensation in the central nervous system.\nAbstract: Central nervous system (CNS) diseases are characterized by high rates of disability and mortality, and their pathological progression is generally accompanied by abnormal remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and mechanical properties. The mechanosensitive cation channel PIEZO1 is widely expressed in neurons, microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and endothelial cells of the CNS. It can precisely sense mechanical signals such as ECM stiffness, viscoelasticity, shear stress, and matrix protein cross-linking, and convert them into intracellular calcium signals and downstream biochemical reactions, thereby mediating the mechanobiological crosstalk between the ECM and cells and playing a key role in physiological processes such as neurodevelopment, synaptic plasticity, blood-brain barrier (BBB) homeostasis, neuroimmune regulation, and cell fate determination. In diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), ischemic stroke (IS), and multiple sclerosis (MS), abnormal stiffening or remodeling of the ECM can lead to excessive activation of PIEZO1, which, by regulating pathways such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-\u03baB), Yes-associated protein/transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (YAP/TAZ), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), exacerbates neuroinflammation, BBB disruption, myelin destruction, neuronal ferroptosis, and defective axonal regeneration. This article systematically reviews the cellular expression profile of PIEZO1 in the CNS, the ECM-mediated activation mechanisms, and downstream signaling networks. It elucidates the regulatory role of the ECM-PIEZO1 axis in both the physiological functions and typical diseases of the CNS, aiming to provide a theoretical basis and new insights for mechanobiological research into the mechanisms and targeted therapies of CNS diseases.",
        "42610745": "ID: 42610745\nTitle: Development of a FRET-Based Assay for Human Neutral Sphingomyelinase 2.\nAbstract: Neutral sphingomyelinase 2 (nSMase2) is a membrane-bound enzyme that hydrolyzes sphingomyelin (SM) into ceramide and phosphocholine. By generating the bioactive lipid ceramide, nSMase2 plays a critical role in cell stress responses and in regulating exosomes that package and transfer pathogenic factors, including tau protein and amyloid \u03b2. Thus, nSMase2 has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders. However, current tools to measure nSMase2 activity are limited, in particular those that could be used in therapeutic development. Here we developed a high-throughput assay to measure human nSMase2 activity. The assay uses a sphingomyelin substrate analogue with a FRET donor and acceptor pair attached to the headgroup and acyl-chain, respectively. Using recombinant human nSMase2, we sensitively detected both wild-type and mutant activity and demonstrated inhibition by the known nSMase2 inhibitor GW4869. The assay captures the major hallmarks of nSMase2 regulation by anionic lipids and displays sensitivity capable of detecting nSMase2 activity from cell lysates. Together, this assay enables rapid screening of nSMase2 inhibitors to support future therapeutic development.",

Granzymes, a family of serine proteases classically studied for their cytotoxic roles in anti-viral and anti-tumor immunity, are emerging as important mediators of central nervous system (CNS) pathology. In addition to their canonical intracellular functions, granzymes can act extracellularly to cleave the extracellular matrix (ECM), activate cell-surface receptors, disrupt epithelial barrier function, amplify inflammatory cascades, and alter glial and neuronal responses to injury. In this review, we synthesize current knowledge on the roles of Granzyme A (GzmA), Granzyme B (GzmB), Granzyme H (GzmH), and Granzyme K (GzmK) in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation across diverse CNS disease and injury contexts, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), stroke, spinal cord injury (SCI), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). GzmB is the most extensively characterized, with evidence supporting both intracellular neurotoxicity and extracellular pathogenic functions mediated through protease-activated receptor signaling, ECM cleavage, outer blood-retina barrier disruption, angiogenesis, fibrosis, and chronic inflammation. GzmA is implicated in tau proteolysis and structural destabilization of neurons and astrocytes, while GzmK has emerged as a context-dependent regulator of neuroinflammation through PAR-1 activation, microglial modulation, and complement cascade activation. GzmH remains the least understood but may contribute to nerve injury through mechanisms that are only beginning to be defined. We also discuss endogenous and pharmacological granzyme inhibition, highlighting the therapeutic promise of selective extracellular granzyme targeting, particularly for GzmB, while emphasizing the current lack of selective inhibitors for GzmA, GzmK, and GzmH. Collectively, these findings position granzymes as underappreciated neuroimmune effectors and potential therapeutic targets in neurodegenerative diseases and CNS injury.",
        "42611889": "ID: 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.",
        "42612874": "ID: 42612874\nTitle: Nose-to-brain delivery of a novel boronated curcuminoid via cyclodextrins: Biodistribution toward potential BNCT applications in Alzheimer's disease.\nAbstract: This study investigates the selective accumulation of a boronated monocarbonyl curcuminoid (BMAC-9) complexed with \u03b2-cyclodextrins in the amyloid-rich brain regions of APP/PS1dE9 transgenic mice, an established model of Alzheimer's disease, compared to C57BL/6 healthy mice. The goal is to develop and evaluate a novel delivery system for the boronated curcuminoid BMAC-9 and to determine whether the resulting boron concentrations in the brain, particularly in the cortex and hippocampus, which are typically enriched in amyloid plaques in patients with Alzheimer's disease, could reach levels potentially suitable for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT). Physicochemical characterization displayed that BMAC-9 has a logD of 3.45 at both physiological (7.4) and nasal (5.5) pH, suggesting good membrane permeability but poor aqueous solubility. To optimize delivery and facilitate blood-brain barrier (BBB) crossing, inclusion complexes were formulated using hydroxypropyl-\u03b2-cyclodextrin (HP-\u03b2-CD) and a cationic cyclodextrin polymer (TMA-poly-\u03b2-CD). These systems, exhibiting stability constants in the 103-105\u202fM-1 range, significantly enhanced drug solubility. In vitro assays on SH-SY5Y cells demonstrated low cytotoxicity at short incubation times confirming that drug release and cellular uptake depend on CD binding affinity. In vivo biodistribution analysis through boron quantification by ICP-MS in C57BL/6 mice exhibit that intranasal administration achieves effective brain targeting while reducing systemic exposure compared to the intravenous one. Interestingly, the BMAC-9/HP-\u03b2-CD complex showed selective accumulation in A\u03b2 plaque-rich brain areas only in APP/PS1dE9 transgenic mice. This selectivity is crucial for BNCT efficacy and offers a promising solution to the persistent challenge of targeted drug delivery in neurodegenerative diseases.",

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.",

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.",
        "42614559": "ID: 42614559\nTitle: Microglia-astrocyte crosstalk as a key organizing principle of Alzheimer's disease: from homeostatic cooperation to maladaptive signaling loops.\nAbstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) has long been framed around amyloid-beta (A\u03b2) and tau pathology, yet mounting evidence indicates that dysfunctional microglia-astrocyte crosstalk is an important, and often underappreciated, contributor to disease progression that operates alongside-rather than in place of-neuronal, vascular, and proteinopathic mechanisms. Here we propose a three-stage framework in which glial communication transitions from silent vulnerability through organized defense to maladaptive collapse. During preclinical aging, gut dysbiosis, diminished tryptophan-derived aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligands, and blood-brain barrier weakening prime glia toward inflammatory states with elevated complement tone. Upon A\u03b2 accumulation, microglia and astrocytes initially mount a compensatory response-forming reactive glial nets, containing plaques, clearing tau, and executing complement-guided synaptic pruning. However, sustained pathological burden triggers self-reinforcing loops involving the C3-C3aR axis and IL-1\u03b1/TNF-\u03b1/C1q signaling, converting the glial network into a propagation engine for tau spreading and synapse loss-the strongest correlate of cognitive decline. We discuss the tryptophan-microbiota-AHR axis as one candidate upstream modulator, while emphasizing that direct human evidence remains limited, and highlight APOE4 in exacerbating microglia-dependent synaptic phagocytosis. To support testability, we operationally define maladaptive loops and communication collapse, and specify measurable variables, fluid/imaging biomarker proxies (e.g., the sTREM2/GFAP ratio), and falsifiable predictions. This framework, presented as an integrative hypothesis rather than an established principle, argues that future therapies must combine protein-targeted approaches with restoration of glial communication homeostasis."
