This is a review looking at anti cytokine therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Psoriatic Arthritis (PSA) and Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). The review explores the similarities and differences in the clinical features, as well as treatments and cytokines involved in the development and propagation of the disease. Particular attention is paid to TNFα inhibitors IL-1ra, IL-6 and JAK kinase Inhibitors, anti IL23 and IL-12 and the new developments with anti-IL-17.

Background: Impaired Aβ clearance plays a key role in the common, late-onset AD. Anti-Aβ immunotherapies are controversial, in part because of high rates of serious side effects including edema, microhemorrhages, and siderosis, highlighting the importance of the development of alternative Aβ clearance strategy. Here, we introduce a bioinspired nanoparticle named MG-PE3 crossing the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) and clearing Aβ with no adverse effect.

Background: The impact of probiotics as gut and immunological modulator in restoring gut microbial balance and immune cells expression have generated much attention in the health sector. Its inhibitory effect on bacterial translocation and associated neural inflammatory processes has been reported. However, there is scarcity of data on its neuroprotective impact against neuroinflammation-associated neurodegeneration and memory impairment.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In Alzheimer's, abnormal Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore (mPTP) activity may contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal damage. Withanolide A, a naturally occurring compound derived from Withania somnifera, have shown potential neuroprotective effects in various neurological disorders.

Background: Global epidemiological studies involving over nine million participants have shown a 35% lower incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) in older cancer survivors compared to those without a history of cancer. This inverse relationship, consistent across recent studies with methodological controls, suggests that cancer itself, rather than cancer treatments, may offer protective factors against AD. This insight opens avenues for novel therapeutic strategies targeting early AD by harnessing cancer-associated protective factors.

Background: Dementia is a mental condition defined by a severe loss of intellectual ability that interferes with one's occupational or social activities. The rapid increase in the number of patients with dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) will result in tremendous consequences for our society and economy. Hypoxanthine is a purine compound that is implicated in the progression of AD.
