Insoluble iron deposits often exist as iron oxide nanoparticles in protein aggregates, impaired ferritin, or activated microglia and have been implicated as major causes of neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. However, no crucial evidence has been reported to support the therapeutic effects of current iron chelators on the deposition of various molecular forms of insoluble iron. We investigated the therapeutic effect of carbon ion stimulation (CIS) via a transmission beam on insoluble iron deposits, iron inclusion bodies, and the associated biological response in 5xFAD AD mouse brains. Compared with no treatment, CIS dose-dependently induced a 33-60% reduction in the amount of ferrous-containing iron species and associated inclusion bodies in the brains of AD mice. CIS induced considerable neuroinflammation downregulation and, conversely, anti-inflammatory upregulation, which was associated with improved memory and enhanced hippocampal neurogenesis. In conclusion, our results suggest that the effective degradation of insoluble iron deposits in combination with pathogenic inclusion bodies promotes AD-modifying properties and offers a potential CIS treatment option for AD.

Hybrid multicompartment artificial architectures, inherited from different compartmental systems, possess separate microenvironments that can perform different functions. Herein, a hybrid compartmentalized architecture via hybridizing ferritin nanocage (Fn) with non-aqueous droplets using aminated-modified amphiphilic gelatin (AGEL) is proposed, which enables the generation of compartmentalized emulsions with hybrid multicompartments. The resulting compartmentalized emulsions are termed "hybrasome".

(1) Background: (CE) is an -induced worldwide parasitic zoonosis and is a recognized public health and socio-economic concern. The liver is the major target organ for CE's infective form protoscolex (PSCs), which causes serious liver damage and endangers the host's life. Reports show that PSC infection causes liver cell Fe metabolism disorder and abnormal deposition of Fe in liver cells and results in liver cell death.

Studying the multiscale mechanics of bio-based composites offers unique perspectives on underlying structure-property relations. Cellular materials, such as wood, are highly organized, hierarchical assemblies of load-bearing structural elements that respond to mechanical stimuli at the microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scale. In this study, we modified oak wood with nanocrystalline ferrihydrite, a widespread ferric oxyhydroxide mineral, and characterized the resulting mechanical properties of the composite at various levels of organization.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease, and emerging evidence has shown that iron deposition, ferroptosis and epigenetic modifications are implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. However, the interplay among these factors in PD has not been fully understood. In this review, we provide an overview of the current research progress on iron metabolism, ferroptosis and epigenetic alterations associated with PD.

Fossil fuel consumption has caused petroleum shortages and increased carbon emissions, thus, utilizing renewable resources in biorefineries for biomass-derived chemical synthesis is promising. Among them, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a key alternative to terephthalic acid (PTA) for sustainable polyester production. In this work, we demonstrate an efficient approach for the simultaneous production of FDCA while utilizing CO₂ via an electrochemical approach.
