Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition in aging populations with no effective therapy available. Recent research has focused on reducing the toxic amyloid beta aggregates and oxidative stress, which are closely associated with AD. Medicinal plants, such as Sideritis scardica (SS), have shown neuroprotective effects against AD. We investigated the antioxidant and neuroprotective potential of eight solvent fractions derived from SS and found that most fractions were rich in phenolics and flavonoids, with significant antioxidant activity. Four SS extracts were able to partially restore cell viability in A beta(25-35)-treated neuroblastoma cells, indicating their neuroprotective properties. These extracts contained neuroprotective substances like apigenin, myricetin-3-galactoside, and ellagic acid. The findings suggest that specific SS mixtures have potential for the development of herbal drugs and functional food products to alleviate AD symptoms.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is an incurable type of dementia in the elderly, and our understanding of its etiology and pathogenesis is limited. However, several hypotheses related to risk factors have been proposed, and plant-derived dietary polyphenols have been shown to have protective effects against neurodegenerative diseases. This review summarizes the regulatory effects of these polyphenols on AD-related molecular mechanisms and discusses the issue of bioavailability and potential improvements, aiming to encourage further research.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common form of dementia characterized by memory decline, cognitive impairment, and several pathological changes in the brain. Oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles in the development of AD. Green tea and its active compound EGCG have shown potential therapeutic effects in modulating AD through their antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. EGCG can regulate inflammatory processes, reduce protein aggregation, and promote neuronal survival pathways, making it a suitable candidate for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders involving oxidative stress and inflammation.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and is responsible for 60-70% of cases. The number of people with dementia is expected to triple by 2050 due to an aging population. Currently, there are only symptomatic treatments available, making it crucial to develop novel therapeutic strategies to prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. This mini-review focuses on the understanding of Alzheimer's disease pathobiology and discusses current immunomodulating therapies targeting amyloid-beta protein.

Summary: Recent evidences suggest a rise in global cases of dementia, with Alzheimer's disease being the leading cause. Quercetin, a flavonoid, has shown potential therapeutic benefits including neuroprotective effects. This study evaluates the neuroprotective effect of orally administered quercetin with memantine in albino Wistar rats after induction of neurotoxicity. The results demonstrate that the treatment of quercetin with memantine improves behavioral parameters, reduces oxidative stress, inhibits amyloid-beta plaque formation, and enhances the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a difficult to treat progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of amyloid beta (A beta) plaques in the brain. A beta interacts with various receptors on the plasma membrane and mediates signaling pathways that contribute to the development of AD. Despite ongoing research, there are currently no effective medications for AD. This review discusses the importance of A beta in the pathogenesis of AD, recent progress in targeting A beta-related receptors and compounds, and the challenges and opportunities in developing effective therapies for AD.

Summary: Researchers developed polymeric nanomicelles capable of passing through the blood-brain barrier to deliver specific antibodies to the brain. The administration of 6H4 antibody fragments in polymeric nanomicelles for 10 weeks significantly reduced the amounts of toxic A beta species in the brain and inhibited the formation of A beta plaques. Behavioral analysis also showed an improvement in spatial reference memory in mice with Alzheimer's disease.

Summary: A novel GI-related miRNA signature (GIMiSig) was developed to stratify gastric cancer patients into distinct risk groups, with different survival outcomes and immunotherapy efficacy. The high-risk group showed decreased UBQLN4 expression, higher immune cell accumulation, lower TTN mutation frequency, worse immunotherapy efficacy, and cancer-associated pathways, while the low-risk group exhibited UBQLN4 overexpression, lower immune cell fraction, higher TTN mutation frequency, better response to immunotherapy, and GI-related pathways. The results may provide new clues for improving gastric cancer outcomes.

The results showed that the chemical modification increased the fraction of micropores, specific surface area, and changed the surface properties of biochar. The experiment also revealed that biochar pretreated with alkali exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity for copper ions. A conceptual model identifying the mechanisms of copper adsorption on sapropel-based biosorbent was proposed.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
