Alzheimer's Disease in Africa: A Scoping Review Protocol

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The global burden of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is set to increase in the next three decades particularly because of the global increase in life expectancy. The state of AD in Africa is a cause for concern because the continent's rapid population growth and demographic transition will be major contributors to AD's increased ...

The competitive NMDA antagonist CPP protects substantia nigra neurons from MPTP-induced degeneration in primates [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons is the primary histopathological feature of Parkinson's disease. The neurotoxin MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) induces a neurological syndrome in man and non-human primates very ...

Cancer Neuroscience: Innovative Conception and Emerging Strategy of Therapy

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
In this review, we summarize nerve–cancer interactions and conclude two additional interactions, “perineural invasion” and “neuro‐microbic‐oncology.” Emphasizing the important role of nerves in tumor progression. The nervous system also contributes to the development of cancer comorbidities such as cancer depression and cognitive dysfunction.

Advances in hiPSC‐Derived Brain Organoids as a Model to Study Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 4, April 2026.
Brain organoids and assembloids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) represent a striking advance in biomedical research. These technologies allow a more accurate mimicry of the three‐dimensional cellular environment in vitro, enabling detailed investigations of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathological features, such as β‐amyloid ...
