Modulation of the TGF‐β/Smad Signaling Pathway by a Bioactive Oxidized Polygonati Rhizoma Polysaccharide Crosslinked Chitosan Hydrogel as Therapeutic Carrier for Parkinson's Disease Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An injectable, self‐healing COPRP hydrogel integrates structurally defined oxidized Polygonati rhizoma polysaccharide with carboxymethyl chitosan through dynamic Schiff‐base crosslinking. The bioactive matrix scavenges reactive oxygen species, suppresses neuroinflammation, protects dopaminergic neurons, and supports sustained levodopa release.

Neuronal deletion of the circadian clock gene Bmal1 induces cell-autonomous dopaminergic neurodegeneration

JCI Insight
Circadian rhythm dysfunction is a hallmark of Parkinson disease (PD), and diminished expression of the core clock gene Bmal1 has been described in patients with PD. BMAL1 is required for core circadian clock function but also serves nonrhythmic functions.

Bioenergetic Materials for Tissue Regeneration: Modulating Metabolism to Promote Cellular Anabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bioenergetic materials (BEMs) modulate cellular metabolism to promote tissue regeneration. Their principal mechanisms of action include metabolic substrate supplementation, metabolic enzyme modulation, organelle transfer, electrical current regulation, redox homeostasis modulation, and oxygen tension modulation.

Biofilm proficient Bacillus subtilis prevents neurodegeneration in Caenorhabditis elegans Parkinson’s disease models via PMK-1/p38 MAPK and SKN-1/Nrf2 signaling

Scientific Reports
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a no-curable neurodegenerative disease of pandemic distribution for which only palliative treatments are available. A hallmark of PD is injury to dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Here, we report that

Molecular Signatures of HIV‐Induced Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in Human Cerebral Organoids: Identification of Therapeutic Targets for NeuroHIV

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HIV preferentially infects microglia, activating IL‐17A‐driven IFN‐γ/STAT1, CEBPB, and NF‐κB signaling that converges with cGAS‐STING and Notch–NEURL1 pathways, promoting neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and synaptic impairment. cART suppresses viral replication, attenuates inflammatory signaling, and at least partially restores ...

SCTR–Expressing Astrocyte–Serotonergic Neuron Signaling Drives Sexual Dimorphism in Depression Through KAT7/H4ac–Foxc2 Epigenetic Axis in an AMPK‐Dependent Manner

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Astrocytic SCTR modulates depressive‐related phenotypes via AMPKα1, whereas lowered Mt1 blunts Megalin‐dependent AMPKα2 signaling in serotonergic neurons. Diminished AMPKα2 hinders KAT7 nuclear translocation, curtails KAT7 occupancy and H4K8ac at the Foxc2 promoter, and represses Foxc2 transcription, revealing cell‐type‐specific AMPK‐linked epigenetic ...

Developmentally Guided Differentiation of Ventral Midbrain Dopaminergic Cells Validated in Proteopathy‐Based Parkinson's Disease Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A developmentally guided protocol reproducibly specifies EN1‐positive ventral midbrain dopaminergic (vmDA) progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells and yields functional vmDA neurons. Optogenetic induction of α‐synuclein aggregation elicits selective degeneration of TH‐positive neurons in 2D cultures and 3D neurospheroids, while transplanted ...

Bacteria‐Derived 1‐Allylpiperazine Alleviates Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease Model by Promoting Autophagy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Parkinson's disease currently has no disease‐modifying therapies. In Caenorhabditis elegans, Escherichia coli E8 alleviates α‐synuclein‐provoked PD‐related defects through its bioactive metabolite 1‐ALPP, which combats PD by triggering AMPK/mTOR/HLH‐30‐dependent autophagy and suppressing α‐synuclein LLPS‐mediated fibrillization.

Proteomic insights into the biology of dopaminergic neurons

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Dopaminergic neurons, primarily located in the substantia nigra, hypothalamus, and ventral tegmental area of the brain, play crucial roles in motor control, reward, motivation, and cognition. Alterations in their function are associated with numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease, but also Schizophrenia, substance ...

Flexible Integration of Structurally Diverse Spatial Multi‐Omics With AgaeSMO

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
AgaeSMO is a versatile and robust deep learning framework for flexible cross‐integration of spatial multi‐omics data. Leveraging a GATs network with a graph attention module, it learns joint embedding across diverse modalities, enabling integration of both structurally paired (e.g., spatial transcriptome‐epigenome, transcriptome‐proteome, transcriptome‐
