In this study, we explored the critical role of autophagy in AD pathology using a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced AD model in Wistar rats. The experimental groups included sham, STZ-induced AD, and STZ + MCC950-treated animals.

The wild-type was procured from IIB culture bank and subsequently enhanced through UV-radiation and Nitrous acid treatments. The resulting mutant strain was subjected to further optimization for heightened enzyme production via solid-state fermentation.

- The study focused on how psycho-trauma and perceived social support affect coping strategies in young adults aged 18-28 in Pakistan and Afghanistan, investigating various demographic factors like gender and education.
- Data was collected from 352 participants using standardized questionnaires, revealing significant negative correlations between psycho-trauma and both perceived social support and problem-focused coping strategies.
- Gender differences were noted, with men favoring problem-focused coping and women leaning towards emotion-focused coping, while various demographic factors influenced coping mechanisms.
