Synthesis and Evaluation of Novel Cinnamic Acid Hybrids With Antiacetylcholinesterase, Antioxidant, and Anti‐Inflammatory Properties

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
In this work, we identified two novel pleiotropic sinapic acid derivatives with excellent anti‐acetylcholinesterase, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory properties. Alzheimer's disease, one of the most widespread neurodegenerative disorders, is known for its multifactorial nature that makes it challenging to treat.

Γ-secretase components as predictors of breast cancer outcome.

PLoS ONE, 2013
γ-secretase is a large ubiquitously expressed protease complex composed of four core subunits: presenilin, Aph1, PEN-2, and nicastrin. The function of γ-secretase in the cells is to proteolytically cleave various proteins within their transmembrane ...

Small Extracellular Vesicles from Neural Cells: Physiological and Pathological Roles, and Potential in Neurodegenerative Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 21, 5 June 2026.
Neural cell–derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as pivotal mediators in neurodegenerative diseases, exerting both pathogenic and therapeutic functions. This review synthesizes current evidence on how sEVs from distinct neural cell types regulate neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, biomarker discovery, and targeted drug delivery ...

The γ-secretase complex: from structure to function

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
One of the most critical pathological features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides that form extracellular senile plaques in the brain. Aβ is derived from β-amyloid precursor protein through sequential cleavage by β-

Designed Liquid Crystalline Nanoassemblies From Clinically Validated Polyunsaturated Lipids for Combined Antioxidant, Anti‐Apoptotic, and Neurotrophic Treatments

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 21, 5 June 2026.
Ionizable lipid nanoparticles target multiple pathological pathways in neurodegeneration. The designed self‐assembled materials undergo a pH‐triggered structural transformation from a cubosome/hexosome coexistence to a hexosome phase, enhancing intracellular delivery of a multi‐target phytochemical formulation. The antioxidant‐loaded pH‐responsive LNPs

Endoproteolysis of the ER Stress Transducer ATF6 in the Presence of Functionally Inactive Presenilins

Neurobiology of Disease, 2001
Presenilin (PS) proteins facilitate endoproteolysis of selected type I transmembrane proteins such as the Alzheimer's disease (AD) associated β-Amyloid precursor protein (βAPP) and Notch.

The Uppsala APP Mutation Promotes Wild‐Type Amyloid‐β Aggregation and Deposition In Vivo

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 33, 15 June 2026.
We investigated in vivo cross‐seeding of amyloid‐β (Aβ) isoforms in transgenic mice co‐expressing wild‐typeAβ and the Uppsala‐mutant Aβ variant (AβUpp), lacking six central residues. Weleveraged MALDI‐MS imaging and hyperspectral microscopy to follow spatio‐temporalAβ deposition.

Identification of potent inhibitors for -secretase through structure based virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulations [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2013
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in elderly persons aged above 65 years. The cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by -secretase generates peptide fragment A42, the main cause of memory and cognitive defects ...

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 35, 24 June 2026.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.

Brain and Liver Dual‐Targeting Oridonin Nanoparticles to Enhance Aβ Clearance for Alzheimer's Disease Therapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 36, 29 June 2026.
We developed a nanoparticle named OAF, which simultaneously targeted to both the brain and liver via the transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) receptor, promoting lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 1 (LRP1) expression to enhance amyloid‐beta (Aβ) clearance. In AD mice model, OAF significantly reduced Aβ deposition and cognitive impairment, while a mitigating
