Organoid is an ideal in vitro model with cellular heterogeneity and genetic stability when passaging. Currently, organoids are exploited as new tools in a variety of preclinical researches and applications for disease modeling, drug screening, host-microbial interactions, and regenerative therapy. Advances have been made in the establishment of nasal and olfactory epithelium organoids that are used to investigate the pathogenesis of smell-related diseases and cellular/molecular mechanism underlying the regeneration of olfactory epithelium. A set of critical genes are identified to function in cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation in olfactory epithelium organoids. Besides, nasal epithelium organoids derived from chronic rhinosinusitis patients have been established to reveal the pathogenesis of this disease, potentially applied in drug responses in individual patient. The present article reviews recent research progresses of nasal and olfactory epithelium organoids in fundamental and preclinical researches, and proposes current advances and potential future direction in the field of organoid research and application.

Background: Longitudinal population-based studies have consistently revealed an expedited cognitive decline in the elderly population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Additionally, there is a documented increased risk of developing vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease in individuals with DM2. Conversely, recent research has pointed to metformin (MET), a widely prescribed medication for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), potentially mitigating age-related cognitive dysfunction (Madhu et al.

A hallmark event in neurodegenerative diseases is represented by the misfolding, aggregation and accumulation of proteins, leading to cellular and network dysfunction preceding the development of clinical symptoms by years. Early diagnosis represents a crucial issue in the field of neuroscience as it offers the potential to utilize this therapeutic window in the future to manage disease-modifying therapy. Seed amplification assays, including Real-Time Quaking-Induced Conversion (RT-QuIC) and Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification (PMCA), have emerged in recent years as innovative techniques developed to detect minute amounts of amyloidogenic proteins.
