Upregulated PKM2 Protects Dopaminergic Neurons From Oxidative Damage Through Nrf2 Transactivation in an MPTP‐Induced Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Oxidative stress induced by MPTP promotes hnRNP A1/A2–dependent alternative splicing toward PKM2 in dopaminergic neurons. Elevated PKM2 transactivates Nrf2, enhances antioxidant gene expression, and protects neurons from oxidative damage and degeneration.

Exercise Intervention for REM Sleep Behavior Disorder in Parkinson's Disease: Mechanisms and Implications for Neurorehabilitation

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review systematically explores exercise as a multi‐target intervention for RBD, highlighting its mechanisms of action and regulatory effects on key pathophysiological processes. ABSTRACT Backgrounds REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is a prodromal non‐motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other α‐synucleinopathies, affecting approximately ...

Prion degradation pathways: Potential for therapeutic intervention

, 2015
Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders. Pathology is closely linked to the misfolding of native cellular PrP(C) into the disease-associated form PrP(Sc) that accumulates in the brain as disease progresses. Although treatments have yet to be

Networks of Indirect Contact Promote Spread of an Environmentally Transmitted Pathogen in a Highly Social Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Using behavioral observations and network simulations, we evaluate direct and indirect transmission of the MTBC pathogen M. mungi in banded mongooses. Incorporating intergroup scent marking reveals that environmentally mediated, socially directed pathways can promote spread at low transmissibility, elevating population prevalence even when direct ...
