Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

Increased incidence of mild cognitive impairment in long COVID patients
Abstract INTRODUCTION Though brain fog is common in Long‐coronavirus disease 2019 (Long‐COVID), the incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is unknown. METHODS In an observational cohort study, recovered COVID‐positive, Long‐COVID, and COVID‐negative subjects underwent blinded evaluation using National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) and ...

Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a very specific neuroimaging signature, but the molecular underpinnings of the strikingly selective anatomic involvement have not elucidated to date. Accordingly, a large neuroimaging study was conducted with 258 participants to evaluate associations between patterns of neurodegeneration and focal ...

Fractional Order Epidemic System of Saturated Rate of Incidence: A Neural Network Approach
The workflow depictions of the mathematical fractional order saturated rate of incidence model using the process of Levenberg–Marquardt Backpropagation neural network. The designed neural network contains 20 numbers of neurons, a sigmoid activation function, and a single hidden layer structure.

Repeated Episodes of GPP Induced by Respiratory Infections Are Mediated by Loss‐of‐Function IFIH1
ABSTRACT Background Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe and recurrent autoinflammatory disease that can be induced by a variety of factors. At present, its etiology and pathogenesis have not yet been fully elucidated. Upper respiratory tract infections are the main predisposing factor in children with GPP, and the MDA5 protein encoded by ...

Prion diseases are fatal and contagious brain disorders caused by a pathogenic prion protein (PrPSc) derived from the benign prion protein (PrPC). To date, there are no therapeutic substances to completely block prion diseases. Thus, the development of a

Plasmonics‐Enhanced Characterization of Cervid PrP (87–114) Fragment Aggregates in Solution
Multimodal nanophotonics platform combining plasmon‐enhanced imaging, label‐free SERS, and optical staining reveals new insights into the aggregation of the cervid PrP (87–114) fragment, an amyloidogenic sequence linked to chronic wasting disease susceptibility.ABSTRACTWe performed a multimodal characterisation of self‐assembled fibrillar aggregates ...

MicroRNAs in Methamphetamine: Addiction, Neurotoxicity, and Therapeutic Potential
The use of METH leads to the release of dopamine from the affected brain regions, including the nucleus accumbens (NAc), ventral tegmental area (VTA), prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus (Hip), and striatum. This triggers signals that alter miRNA expression, which in turn leads to differential expression of target genes.

Abstract Neurons depend on tightly regulated spatial proteostasis to maintain function across their extended morphology. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), traditionally known for its function in protein synthesis, folding, and trafficking, has long been recognized as a central platform for directing proteins to organelles of the secretory and endocytic ...
