In Silico Structure-Guided Design of Peptide Candidates Targeting γ-Secretase Subunit Assembly. (PubMed, Proteins)
Thus, seven γ-secretase inhibitor candidates with favorable affinity scores capable of providing stable interactions and thereby having the potential to disrupt the APH1:PS1 assembly were identified. This approach, which overcomes the challenges of targeting the transmembrane catalytic domain, is based on the inhibition of subunit assembly and presents promising candidates for future experimental studies.

TNFRSF21 Orchestrates Epithelial Keratinization and Tight Junction Integrity in Periodontitis-Associated Oral Mucosal Repair. (PubMed, Front Biosci (Landmark Ed))
Our findings indicate that TNFRSF21 is a pivotal regulator of epithelial keratinization and tight junction integrity in oral epithelial keratinocytes. Targeting TNFRSF21 may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to restore oral epithelial function.

Neuroprotective Effects of Molecular Hydrogen via Oxidative Stress and Neuroinflammation Regulation in a 5xFAD Mouse Model. (PubMed, Antioxidants (Basel))
In the hippocampus, H2 upregulated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), attenuated nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activation, reduced the BAX/BCL-2 ratio, preserved neuronal nuclei (NEUN) expression, and decreased hippocampal Aβ42 burden. Collectively, these findings indicate that H2 inhalation confers multi-faceted neuroprotection in 5xFAD mice by restoring redox homeostasis, suppressing inflammation, improving mitochondrial function, and limiting Aβ accumulation.

Modulating tumor-associated macrophages through APP-CD74 blockade with IL4R-exosomes synergizes with PD-1 inhibition in gastric cancer. (PubMed, NPJ Precis Oncol)
Strikingly, its combination with the immune checkpoint inhibitor Nivolumab synergistically boosted antitumor immunity and reshaped the immunosuppressive TME. These findings uncover the APP-CD74 axis as a novel immunoregulatory pathway in GC and provide a nanotherapeutic strategy leveraging macrophage plasticity to overcome immune resistance and enhance immunotherapeutic efficacy.

Uncovering the Independent Role of Lipid Peroxidation in Osteoporosis Through an Integrated Bibliometric and Bioinformatics Analysis. (PubMed, Mediators Inflamm)
This study is the first to integrate bibliometric and bioinformatics methods, revealing the macro-level trends in OP-ATG research and the molecular mechanisms underlying OP-LP crossover. It successfully identified five key OP-LP targets, providing a new perspective for understanding OP mechanisms and developing targeted therapies.

Arsenic Promotes Intracellular Aβ(1-42) Accumulation via Enhanced APP but Reduced NEP Expression, and Indirectly Stimulates Extracellular Aβ Aggregation through AChE Induction in Differentiated SH-SY5Y Cells. (PubMed, Biol Trace Elem Res)
Overall, arsenic promotes intracellular Aβ(1-42) accumulation, possibly through the upregulation of APP and a decrease in the Aβ-degrading enzyme, NEP, and extracellular Aβ aggregation by AChE upregulation. As both Aβ intracellular accumulation and extracellular aggregation play pivotal roles in AD, our findings may provide insightful mechanistic links between arsenic and AD.

Estetrol Enhances Mitochondrial Bioenergetics and Neurite Outgrowth in Cellular Models of Alzheimer's Disease. (PubMed, Cells)
Furthermore, E4 modulated the expression of key mitochondrial genes, specifically upregulating the phosphate carrier SLC25A23 while downregulating the complex I subunit NDUFA1. In conclusion, E4 improves mitochondrial health and supports neuronal integrity via a multi-receptor mechanism, highlighting its potential as a safe neuroprotective therapy for AD.

A Novel Competing Endogenous RNA Linked to Dysregulated Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease. (PubMed, Cells)
These findings support a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) model in which LIMASI sequesters pro-inflammatory miRNAs to modulate neuroinflammatory gene networks. Together, our data identify LIMASI as a putative ceRNA strongly associated with AD-related neuroinflammation and suggest that targeting LIMASI may represent a novel strategy to attenuate neuroinflammatory signaling and potentially slow AD-associated neurodegeneration.

Inhibiting AP2M1-mediated GluA2 endocytosis by G2CT peptide ameliorates synaptic and memory deficits in Alzheimer's Disease. (PubMed, Neuropharmacology)
Furthermore, G2CT rescues cognitive deficits in male and female 5×FAD AD mouse models, without detectable alterations in amyloid precursor protein processing or amyloid-beta (Aβ) production under the experimental conditions used. These findings identify the GluA2-AP2M1 interaction as a critical mechanism of early synaptic dysfunction and highlight a therapeutic strategy for AD that acts downstream of amyloid-β signaling and ameliorates synaptic and cognitive deficits without altering amyloid pathology.

Metabolic reallocation in spinal cord oligodendrocytes drives chronic pain via neuronal β-amyloid production. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Deleting the lysosomal lipid hydrolase NAAA in oligodendrocytes prevents both injury-induced Aβ production and chronic pain development. The findings identify an unexpected mechanistic link between chronic pain and Alzheimer's-like neurodegeneration, positioning Aβ as a target for therapeutic intervention.
