Background: Convergent evidence indicates that deficits in the endosomal recycling pathway underlies pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). SORL1 encodes the retromer-associated receptor SORLA that plays an essential role in recycling of AD-associated cargos such as the amyloid precursor protein and the glutamatergic AMPA receptor. Importantly, loss of function pathogenic SORL1 variants are associated with AD.

Background: Although investment in biomedical and pharmaceutical research has increased significantly over the past two decades, there are no oral disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Method: We performed comprehensive human genetic and multi-omics data analyses to test likely causal relationship between EPHX2 (encoding soluble epoxide hydrolase [sEH]) and risk of AD. Next, we tested the effect of the oral administration of EC5026 (a first-in-class, picomolar sEH inhibitor) in a transgenic mouse model of AD-5xFAD and mechanistic pathways of EC5026 in patient induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) derived neurons.

Background: In recent decades, epidemiological and experimental studies have looked into the role of pesticides, particularly the herbicide paraquat, in the development of Parkinson's disease. Horseradish tree (Moringa oleifera) is an ethnobotanical plant with lots of therapeutic potential, but there is a dearth of information on the bioactive properties of the seed alkaloid extracts.

Method: This study examined the modulatory effects of various concentrations of an alkaloid extract from the seeds of Horseradish Tree (Moringa oleifera) on the survival rate of flies exposed to paraquat, as well as certain biochemical and molecular markers related to Parkinson's disease in the heads of the flies.

Background: The impact of probiotics as gut and immunological modulator in restoring gut microbial balance and immune cells expression have generated much attention in the health sector. Its inhibitory effect on bacterial translocation and associated neural inflammatory processes has been reported. However, there is scarcity of data on its neuroprotective impact against neuroinflammation-associated neurodegeneration and memory impairment.

Background: Memory is influenced by epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression. Histone acetyltransferases (HATs), and histone deacetylases (HDACs), are two competitive enzymes regulating histone acetylation. Histone acetylation is reduced in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, and evidence has shown a synergistic regulation of HDACs and HATs activities.
