Potential Roles of Adropin in Central Nervous System: Review of Current Literature [PDF]
Adropin is a 4.9 kDa peptide that is important for maintenance of metabolic and non-metabolic homeostasis. It regulates glucose and fatty acid metabolism and is involved in endothelial cell function and endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase bioactivity ...

Metformin Restores Mitochondrial Function and Neurogenesis in POLG Patient‐Derived Brain Organoids
Patient‐derived POLG‐mutant cortical organoids reveal neuronal subtype‐specific mitochondrial and synaptic defects, with dopaminergic neurons most affected. Metformin treatment restores neuronal identity, mitochondrial function, and excitability, increased mtDNA maintenance, and reprogrammed metabolism via TCA and redox pathways.

Premutation in the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) Gene Affects Maternal Zn-milk and Perinatal Brain Bioenergetics and Scaffolding. [PDF]
Fragile X premutation alleles have 55-200 CGG repeats in the 5' UTR of the FMR1 gene. Altered zinc (Zn) homeostasis has been reported in fibroblasts from >60 years old premutation carriers, in which Zn supplementation significantly restored Zn ...

Genetic Risk Factors for Poor Cognitive Outcome Following Brain Insult—A Systematic Review
This systematic review summarizes genetic predictors of cognitive outcomes following stroke, traumatic brain injury, and other brain insults. APOE‐ε4 consistently predicts poorer cognitive recovery. Evidence for the COMT rs4680 G allele suggests adverse associations, while BDNF findings remain inconsistent.

Wnt Signaling Pathway: Biological Function, Diseases, and Therapeutic Interventions
The Wnt signaling pathway is essential for development and tissue homeostasis, while its dysregulation drives diverse diseases. This review systematically outlines its components, functions, regulators, and preclinical models, highlighting secreted frizzled‐related proteins (SFRPs) as context‐dependent, biphasic modulators.
