TNEA Regulates Hippocampal Oscillation by Improving Inhibitory Synaptic Plasticity to Ameliorates Cognitive Impairment in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TNEA improves cognition in 5xFAD mice by modulating parvalbumin‐positive interneurons in hippocampal CA1. TNEA enhances gamma oscillations during rest and theta power during novel object recognition, restoring excitation/inhibition balance. These findings support TNEA as a minimally invasive therapy for Alzheimer's disease.

PACS‐2 Mitigates NPSC Apoptosis and Intervertebral Disc Degeneration by Preserving MAM Integrity via the SP1/LRRK2/Mfn2 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the role of PACS‐2 in IDD, demonstrating that it suppresses the nuclear translocation of SP1, thereby downregulating its downstream target LRRK2. This reduces LRRK2‐mediated ubiquitination and degradation of Mfn2 through the JNK pathway, preserving MAM integrity and promoting NPSC survival.
