"Genetics" is one of the main courses for the study scheme of undergraduate students in university. This paper pointed out some problems found in the teaching process according to the characteristics of "Genetics" course. At the same time, the thought on the construction of "Genetics" course were discussed concerning the reform of course contents, the improvement of teaching method, the creation of teaching CAI (computer assisted instruction), the compile of electronic edition for teaching materials, the evaluation of teaching level, the innovation of experimental contents and the methods for improving the teaching effect.

Background: Despite significant advancements in the development of blood biomarkers for AD, challenges persist due to the complex interplay of genetic and environmental risk factors in AD pathogenesis. Epigenetic processes, including non-coding RNAs and especially microRNAs (miRs), have emerged as important players in the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases. MiRs have the ability to fine-tune gene expression and proteostasis, and microRNAome profiling in liquid biopsies is gaining increasing interest since changes in miR levels can indicate the presence of multiple pathologies.

Background: Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy (CAA), characterized by the presence of amyloid β (Aβ) deposits in cerebral blood vessels has been associated with cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Vascular risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), are known to affect vascular pathology and CAA-like depositions. Furthermore, Aβ deposition in blood vessels accompanied my inflammation especially gliosis, has been reported in the transgenic AD mouse models 5xFAD and APP that express human Aβ.

The view of microglial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been shaped by two major breakthroughs in the past decade: the discovery that many of the AD susceptibility genes are preferentially expressed in microglia, and the finding that microglia exist in a variety of previously not described functional phenotypes in the aged human central nervous system. As much as these discoveries brought paradigm shifts to the field, they also revealed major gaps in our understanding of the functional consequences of both the expression of AD susceptibility genes and microglia phenotypic heterogeneity. While there is progress being made in understanding the role of individual AD susceptibility genes in microglia function and what role the different microglia phenotypes might play in disease pathogenesis in AD, the connection between these two determining factors has not been established yet.

Background: Manganese (Mn) is an essential metal that serves as a cofactor for metalloenzymes important in moderating the glutamate/glutamine cycle and other oxidative stress pathways. Typically, Mn is acquired through the diet, however, Mn overexposure can arise through drinking inadequately treated well water or inhalation of Mn-containing industrial byproducts. Mn toxicity disrupts dopaminergic neurotransmission resulting in a Parkinsonian disorder referred to as manganism.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, etiologically complex disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and neuronal damage. MS has seven categories based on disease course. Seventy to eighty percent of individuals with MS initially develop a clinical pattern with periodic relapses and remissions, called relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).
