Article Synopsis
  • * The pigment lutein has shown promise as a potential treatment for NDDs by enhancing brain development, cognitive function, and neuroplasticity while displaying neuroprotective effects against conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
  • * Lutein's protective actions include reducing oxidative stress, preventing neuroinflammation, and supporting neurogenesis, suggesting it could be a valuable natural therapeutic agent for combating NDDs.

Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders characterized by neuron damage and loss. Growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43) functions in neuronal plasticity and synaptic function, but its role in prion diseases is not fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated the changes of GAP43 in the central nerve system (CNS) of several prion-infected rodent models and explored the potential relationship of GAP43 with PrP deposit and neuron loss using various methods.

Estrogens and estrogenic chemicals are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The potential toxicity of EDCs to humans and aquatic organisms has become increasingly concerning. However, at present, the potential toxic mechanisms of EDCs on neural and vascular development are still being fully investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines the effects of bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol AF (BPAF) on neurodevelopment and pancreatic cell differentiation in zebrafish embryos, focusing on changes in DNA methylation and gene expression.
  • - Zebrafish exposed to BPF and BPAF showed significant behavioral changes, increased glucose levels, and decreased insulin-related gene expression, indicating potential developmental disruptions.
  • - Findings revealed increased DNA methylation in specific genes linked to development and insulin production, suggesting that exposure to these bisphenols leads to islet dysfunction and neurodevelopmental issues in early-stage zebrafish.

Article Synopsis
  • Vascular organoids (VOs) from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) show promise as models for studying human vascular diseases and drug testing, but their effectiveness in mimicking actual human conditions needs further exploration.
  • DB-VOs derived from diabetic patients were found to have impaired function compared to non-diabetic counterparts, displaying harmful traits such as high reactive oxygen
