Association of Cerebral Amyloid-beta Aggregation With Cognitive Functioning in Persons Without Dementia [PDF]
Importance: Cerebral amyloid-beta aggregation is an early event in Alzheimer disease (AD). Understanding the association between amyloid aggregation and cognitive manifestation in persons without dementia is important for a better understanding of the ...

Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

Neuroglobin is a heme protein of which increased levels provide neuroprotection against amyloid proteinopathy and hemorrhagic damage. These cellular stressors involve the promotion of ferroptosis—an iron-dependent, lipid peroxide-accreting form of ...

Inflammatory components in human Alzheimer's disease and after active amyloid-β42 immunization
Inflammatory processes are important in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and in response to amyloid-β immunotherapy. We investigated the expression of multiple inflammatory markers in the brains of 28 non-immunized patients with Alzheimer's ...

Pro-domain removal in ASP-2 and the cleavage of the amyloid precursor are influenced by pH. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: One of the signatures of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of aggregated amyloid protein, Abeta, in the brain. Abeta arises from cleavage of the Amyloid Precursor protein by beta and gamma secretases, which present attractive candidates

Glaucoma is increasingly understood as a neurodegenerative disorder shaped by sleep and circadian physiology, not intraocular pressure alone. Sleep loss and obstructive sleep apnea suppress BDNF–TrkB neurotrophic signaling, impair sleep‐dependent glymphatic clearance, and trigger microglial neuroinflammation and vascular insult at the optic nerve head,

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy
This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

40 years of CEPARM: transforming amyloidosis related to transthyretin from neglect to recognition
Variant transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PN) and cardiomyopathy (ATTRv-CM), formerly known as familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP), is a severe, progressive disorder caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.
