Published: August 2024

IgE is induced by the presence of IL-4 by class switching from IgM through IgG1 to IgE. IL-21 inhibits the IgE class switch by induction of Blimp1 leading to Stat6 and AID downregulation, and plasmablast/plasma cell differentiation.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent cause of dementia accounting for an estimated 60% to 80% of cases. Despite advances in the research field, developing truly effective therapies for AD symptoms remains a major challenge. Sweet almond contain nutrients that have the potential of combating age-related brain dysfunction, by improving learning, memory and neurocognitive performance.

Background: Human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived brain organoids patterned towards the cerebral cortex are valuable models of interactions occurring in vivo in cortical tissue. We and others have used these cortical organoids to model dominantly inherited FTD-tau. While these studies have provided essential insights, cortical organoid models have yet to reach their full potential.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of amyloid beta proteins to form plaques and the aggregation of hyperphosphorylated tau to form neurofibrillary tangles. Human fibroblast (SH-SY5Y) cells endogenously express Tau, and the expression is further amplified upon differentiation into neuronal cells, making it a cell model of Alzheimer's disease. Nigella sativa oil (NSO) contains 50% thymoquinone and has been used in the treatment of various nervous system disorders.

Deakin University, Geelong, VIC, Australia.

Background: Reliable treatment approaches for addressing early cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are currently lacking. Given the multifactorial nature of AD, therapeutic strategies need to focus on disease-specific biochemical pathways. Given the significance of metabolic pathways in cognitive impairment, it is essential to investigate alternative disease modifiers capable of targeting multiple metabolic pathways, such as phytochemicals.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in childhood. Patients who present with metastatic disease at diagnosis or relapse have a very poor prognosis, and this has not changed over the past four decades. The Wnt signaling pathway plays a role in regulating osteogenesis and is implicated in OS pathogenesis.
