Polyglycine Strands Within a Collagen Triple Helix
ABSTRACT The collagen triple helix is the most abundant protein structural motif in animals. It tolerates any amino acid in its Xaa and Yaa positions but demands glycine (Gly) at every third position, where the residue packs into the sterically forbidding core of the triple helix and donates the recurring interstrand N–H⋯OC hydrogen bond that stitches

ABSTRACT The increase in global life expectancy has resulted in a significant rise in the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease (AD), making it a critical public health burden. Therefore, there is an urgent need to create effective methods to prevent or slow down the progression of the disease.

Mesenchymal stem cell therapy is a promising approach for Alzheimer's disease, yet the optimal delivery route remains unclear. Using the 5xFAD mouse model, we performed a head‐to‐head comparison of intrathecal and intravenous transplantation of human umbilical cord–derived mesenchymal stem cells. Intrathecal delivery more effectively improved cognition,

The Maintenance of Dysmyelinated Small‐Diameter Axons by 14‐3‐3s in the Central Nervous System
Dysmyelinated small‐diameter axons are maintained in teneurin‐4 deficient mice at the age of 1 year, while axonal damage is observed. 14‐3‐3s are highly expressed and suppress the progression of the damage in these axons. ABSTRACT In the central nervous system, myelin formed around nerve axons by oligodendrocyte enables efficient conduction of action ...

The Role of Astrocytes in the Inflammatory Response in Neurodiseases
Reactive astrocyte‐mediated pathogenic mechanisms in neurodegenerative diseases Schematic representation of key astrocytic pathways contributing to pathology in the pathogenesis of AD, PD, ALS, and HD. In AD, astrocytes exhibit Aβ plaque‐associated activation characterized by GFAP/S100β upregulation, accompanied by impaired EAAT2‐mediated glutamate ...

Alzheimer's Disease: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Advances
Alzheimer's disease involves Aβ/tau aggregation, neuroinflammation, BBB leakage, gut–brain dysfunction, and mitochondrial damage, causing neuronal loss. Nanodelivery enables combined small‐molecule and targeted therapies. Disease‐modifying biologics/chemicals, including anti‐Aβ antibodies, raise safety and access concerns. Exercise, cognitive training,

Mechanochemically Programmed, Oligomer‐Selective Amyloid Assembly via Axial Rotation
Tunable axial rotation mechanically redirects amyloid assembly without chemical additives. Low rotational speeds favor fibril maturation, whereas high‐speed rotation suppresses productive fibril amplification and biases the pathway toward oligomer‐enriched assemblies.

Recombinantly produced Tobacco Mosaic Virus coat protein (TMVcp) helical rods were demonstrated to reproducibly self‐assemble into hierarchically structured macroscopic filaments, driven by a lyotropic liquid crystal (LC) intermediate phase. The results indicate anisotropic molecular alignment of the fluid phase, retention of the native secondary ...
