Identification of an altered gut microbiome and the protective effect of microbiome changer in prion diseases

Veterinary Research
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

A Phase‐Resolved Geometric Deep Learning Framework Maps Structural Determinants of Disease‐Associated Protein Aggregation and Guides Suppressor Design

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.
SKALE 2.0 maps disease‐associated protein aggregation as a phase‐resolved structural process, linking mutation‐induced geometric perturbations to nucleation, elongation, and suppressor design. Across neurodegenerative proteins, the framework reveals cryptic aggregation vulnerabilities, separates phase‐concordant and phase‐switching mutations, and ...

α‐Synuclein Aggregate‐Disassembling Compounds Prolong Survival in a Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
All‐D peptides that bind monomeric α‐synuclein shift the aggregation equilibrium, dismantle pathogenic fibrils, and suppress seeding activity in vitro and in cells. In a Parkinson's disease mouse model, treatment delays disease progression and extends survival, supporting direct aggregate disassembly as a disease‐modifying therapeutic strategy for ...

Insights Into Aggregation‐Delayed Phenotype of Dictyostelium discoideum

Cell Biology International, Volume 50, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Dictyostelium discoideum is a cellular model that has been widely used in cell signal research focusing on different cellular and developmental processes. The unique lifecycle of these cells—which involves switching between vegetative and development phases—makes Dictyostelium a reliable model for investigations in this field.

Folding and fibril formation of prions [PDF]

Prions diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative disorders called the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), which include bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle, scrapie in sheep and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans ...

Exosomal PSMD1 Derived From Dental Pulp Mesenchymal Stem Cells Promotes Microglial M2 Polarization to Alleviate Spinal Cord Injury

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
DPMSCs‐derived exosomal PSMD1 stimulates M2 polarization through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway. DPMSCs‐derived exosomal PSMD1 indirectly acts on NE‐4C cells. DPMSCs‐derived exosomal PSMD1 ameliorates SCI in a mouse model. ABSTRACT Background Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their cargo contribute to the protective properties of MSCs in ...

Microglia and neuroinflammation: An in‐depth analysis from functional diversity to disease mechanisms

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
1. Microglial functions arise from dynamic, context‐dependent programs rather than fixed M1/M2 phenotypes. 2. Inflammatory, interferon‐responsive, phagocytic/lipid‐metabolic and repair‐associated programs coexist across disease stages and brain regions. 3.

Reversing brain aging: Targeting energy metabolism in endogenous neural stem cells

Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 5, September 2026.
Mechanism of endogenous neural stem cells (eNSCs) energy metabolism disorder leading to brain aging and targeted eNSCs intervention strategies (By biorender). The disorder of energy metabolism of eNSCs can lead to their resting and aging, and eventually lead to brain aging.

A Personal Perspective on Metalloprotein Structure and the Future of Macromolecular X‐Ray Crystallography

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, Volume 73, Issue 9, Page 1243-1250, September 2026.
While X‐ray crystallography has been the primary method for determining the structures of metalloproteins, cryoEM has taken over this role, illustrated by [4Fe4S]‐cluster containing proteins deposited in the Protein Data Bank. What will be the role for X‐ray crystallography as cryoEM and machine learning methods dominate the initial structural analysis?
