Background And Objective: Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration mediated by various molecular pathways, including inflammatory and autophagic processes. SET domain-containing lysine methyltransferase 7 (SETD7), a methyltransferase, has been implicated in OA pathology. This study investigates the expression pattern of SETD7 in OA and its role in promoting interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-induced chondrocyte injury through modulation of autophagy and inflammation.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is among the modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and ranks among the leading chronic diseases globally. It is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels and insulin resistance, which over time may impair memory performance. More so, saliva appears to be a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of AD since conventional methods appear invasive and expensive in the country.

Background: Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF15) is a TGF-beta superfamily protein upregulated during immune-mediated stress responses. Peripheral GDF15 is linked to adverse aging across organ systems including the brain. Immune dysregulation is implicated in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) pathogenesis.

Background: Studies suggest a potential link between stroke and Alzheimer's disease wherein stroke may serve as a trigger for the onset or acceleration of Alzheimer's pathogenesis as damage to the brain's blood vessels may lead to the accumulation of amyloid beta protein which is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Recent research has shown that stroke treatment may hold the key to treating Alzheimer's disease. The anti-inflammatory potentials of Cholinergic signaling are a novel therapeutic target in memory decline associated with Alzheimer's.
