Background: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, are complex and challenging due to their intricate pathophysiology and limited treatment options.

Methods: This review systematically sourced articles related to neurodegenerative diseases, neurodegeneration, quercetin, and clinical studies from primary medical databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science.

Results: Recent studies have included quercetin to impact the cellular and molecular pathways involved in neurodegeneration.

Cancer manifests as uncontrolled cell proliferation. Tankyrase, a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase member, is vital in Wnt signal transmission, making it a promising cancer therapy target. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway regulates critical biological processes like genomic stability, gene expression, energy utilization, and apoptosis.

In this study, we investigate the impact of first and second-order coupling strengths on the stability of a synchronization manifold in a Discrete FitzHugh-Nagumo (DFHN) neuron model with memristor coupling. Master Stability Function (MSF) is used to estimate the stability of the synchronized manifold. The MSF of the DFHN model exhibits two zero crossings as we vary the coupling strengths, which is categorized as class .
