Objectives: To examine the trajectories of cognitive impairment and transport restriction over time and the interrelation between these trajectories among older adults.

Methods: Group-based trajectory modeling was used on the longitudinal National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) over 11 years from 2011 to 2021, among 5753 participants, stratified by age in 2011 to three groups of 65-74 years, 75-84 years, and 85 years and above.

Results: For transport restrictions, these trajectory groups were: (1) a majority with no restrictions, (2) low and increasing or stable, and (3) moderate or high and decreasing. The overall pattern was largely consistent across the three age groups, with the older group showing a higher predicted likelihood of transport restrictions compared to the younger group. For each of the three age groups, there were two cognitive impairment trajectories including (1) low and (2) increasing cognitive impairment. The proportions of increasing cognitive impairment were 12.3% among the 65-74 years old, 27.3% among the 75-84 years old, and 40.4% among the 85 years and above old. Compared with those with no transport restriction, the other two trajectories with either low or moderate transport restrictions were more likely to belong to increasing cognitive impairment. The odds ratio was 3.06 (95% CI 2.0-4.68) for low & increasing transport restrictions versus 1.57 (95% CI 0.96-2.56) for moderate & decreasing transport restrictions among 65-74 years old. The odds ratio was 2.38 (95% CI 1.68-3.38) for low & increasing transport restrictions versus 1.88 (95% CI 1.39-2.55) for moderate & decreasing transport restrictions among 75-84 years old.

Conclusions: Cognitive impairment was more likely to co-occur with those with low and increasing transport restrictions than with those with moderate and decreasing transport restrictions. Addressing transport restriction among older adults holds the potential to ameliorate cognitive outcomes.

Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional molecules that induce selective protein degradation by linking an E3 ubiquitin ligase enzyme to a target protein. This approach allows scope for targeting "undruggable" proteins, and several PROTACs have reached the stage of clinical candidates. However, the roles of cellular transmembrane transporters in PROTAC uptake and efflux remain underexplored.

ABC transporter activity is affected by the size of lipid nanodiscs.

FEBS Lett

January 2025

Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, School of Natural Sciences, University of California Merced, CA, USA.

Lipid nanodiscs have become a widely used approach for studying membrane proteins thanks to several advantages they offer. They have been especially useful for studying ABC transporters, despite the growing concern about the possible restriction of the conformational changes of the transporters due to the small size of the discs. Here, we performed a systematic study to determine the effect of the nanodisc size on the ATPase activity of model ABC transporters from human, plant, and bacteria.

Yes-associated protein (YAP) activation confers resistance to chemotherapy and targeted therapy. Methionine participates in cellular processes by converting to methyl donor for the methylation of DNA, RNA and protein. However, it remains unclear whether methionine affects drug resistance by influencing YAP activity.

Early prediction of acute kidney injury (AKI) may provide a crucial opportunity for AKI prevention. To date, no prediction model targeting AKI among general hospitalized patients in developing countries has been published. Here we show a simple, real-time, interpretable AKI prediction model for general hospitalized patients developed from a large tertiary hospital in China, which has been validated across five independent, geographically distinct, different tiered hospitals.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent advancements in orally-targeted nanostrategies using multiple nutraceuticals show promise for ulcerative colitis therapy, improving patient compliance and effectiveness despite challenges like poor solubility and gastrointestinal retention.
  • The study introduces nanoparticles crafted from quaternary ammonium chitosan and succinic acid-modified γ-cyclodextrin, with egg white-derived peptides enhancing the delivery and bioavailability of hydrophobic curcumin.
  • Findings indicate that these nanoparticles significantly increase cellular absorption and oral bioavailability, support colonic microenvironment interactions, and promote intestinal health through improved amino acid metabolism.
