Cinnamon extract has been reported to have positive effects in fruit fly and mouse models for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, cinnamon contains numerous potential active compounds that have not been individually evaluated. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of cinnamaldehyde, a known putative active compound in cinnamon, on the lifespan and healthspan of models for Alzheimer's disease, which overexpress A and MAPT (Tau). We found that cinnamaldehyde significantly improved the lifespan of both AD and non-AD flies. Cinnamaldehyde also improved the healthspan of AD flies overexpressing the Tau protein by improving climbing ability, evaluated by rapid iterative negative geotaxis (RING), and improving short-term memory, evaluated by a courtship conditioning assay. Cinnamaldehyde had no positive impact on the healthspan of AD flies overexpressing the A protein.

Mental disorders are complex illnesses with multifactorial etiologies involving genetic and environmental components. This review focuses on cellular models derived from the olfactory epithelium as a promising tool to study the molecular mechanisms of some neuropsychiatric diseases. The authors consider cell lines allowing the identification of potential biomarkers and pathogenetic mechanisms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and Alzheimer's disease.

Colony-stimulating factor-1-receptor (CSF1R) inhibitors have been widely used to rapidly deplete microglia from the brain, allowing the remaining microglia population to self-renew and repopulate. These new-born microglia are thought to be "rejuvenated" and have been shown to be beneficial in several disease contexts and in normal aging. Their role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is thus of great interest as they represent a potential disease-modifying therapy.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the metabolic syndromes that is associated with cognitive deficit, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) like pathology due to impaired insulin-signalling in the brain, oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Nanotechnology is one of the most promising techniques for targeting the brain. However, the toxicity of metal nanoparticles is one of the biggest challenges to be studied.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder. It causes progressive degeneration of the nervous system, affecting the cognitive ability of the human brain. Over the past two decades, neuroimaging data from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans has been increasingly used in the study of brain pathology related to the birth and growth of AD.
