Background: Progranulin (PGRN), a glycoprotein secreted by microglia and neurons, regulates lysosomal function, neuroinflammation, and has neurotrophic effects. Variants in the granulin gene (GRN) that cause a reduction of PGRN in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The sortilin receptor (SORT1) on neurons and microglia regulates PGRN degradation.

Background: The risk of cognitive decline in cancer survivors may be increased by platinum-based chemotherapy. Evidence indicates that physical exercise has a potential to reduce chemotherapy-related toxicity. The aim of this study was to assess effects of a 6-month aerobic-strength training on cognitive functions, metabolic flexibility, anthropometric parameters and physical fitness in testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) survivors, treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.

Background: Disease-modifying therapies targeting the diverse pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including neuroinflammation, represent potentially important and novel approaches. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity and has an established safety profile. Semaglutide may have a disease-modifying, neuroprotective effect in AD through multimodal mechanisms including neuroinflammatory, vascular, and other AD-related processes.

Background: Whether pathophysiological factors differ between males and females with irritable bowel syndrome-diarrhea (IBS-D) remains to be tested. To better understand potential sex differences, males with IBS-D were compared to naturally cycling females and to females with IBS-D taking hormonal contraception on plasma levels of cytokines and gut microbiome characteristics.
Methods: Males and females with Rome III IBS-D completed questionnaires and kept a daily symptom diary for 28 days.
