Given the aging population, it is important to better understand neurodegeneration in aging healthy people and to address the increasing incidence of neurodegenerative diseases. It is imperative to apply novel strategies to identify neuroprotective therapeutics. The study of sex differences in neurodegeneration can reveal new candidate treatment targets tailored for women and men. Sex chromosome effects on neurodegeneration remain understudied and represent a promising frontier for discovery. Here, we will review sex differences in neurodegeneration, focusing on the study of sex chromosome effects in the context of declining levels of sex hormones during aging.

Article Synopsis
- Highly reactive metabolic intermediates can modify amino acid side chains, leading to non-enzymatic posttranslational modifications (nPTMs) of proteins, especially during high metabolic stress.
- Accumulation of nPTMs in long-lived proteins can affect protein structure and function, linking them to diseases like cataracts, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.
- The review emphasizes the need for detailed research on nPTMs in neurodegenerative diseases, discussing their formation, impact on cellular processes, and advocating for advanced methods to study their effects on protein aggregation.

Platelets are anucleate blood cells traditionally associated with hemostasis but now increasingly recognized for their multifaceted roles in immunity, inflammation, and tissue repair. Advances in platelet proteomics, employing high-throughput techniques such as mass spectrometry, have significantly enhanced our understanding of platelet biology and its clinical implications in transfusion medicine. Platelet proteomics offers a retrospective view of physiological and pathological changes over the platelet's 7-10-day lifespan, making it a unique tool for studying cumulative biological events.

The brain's primary immune cells, microglia, are a leading causal cell type in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Yet, the mechanisms by which microglia can drive neurodegeneration remain unresolved. Here, we discover that a conserved stress signaling pathway, the integrated stress response (ISR), characterizes a microglia subset with neurodegenerative outcomes.

Background: As Alzheimer disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) progress, individuals increasingly require assistance from unpaid, informal caregivers to support them in activities of daily living. These caregivers may experience high levels of financial, mental, and physical strain associated with providing care. CareVirtue is a web-based tool created to connect and support multiple individuals across a care network to coordinate care activities and share important information, thereby reducing care burden.
