Background: Research into Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathomechanisms frequently utilizes animal models with dominant mutations; however, the vast majority (>95%) of AD cases are idiopathic. Animal models with AD risk factors represent an approach with potentially greater translational validity. The predominant genetic risk factor for AD is the Apolipoprotein E ε4 (APOE4) polymorphism, with APOE4 homozygosity conferring approximately 15-fold higher risk relative to the normative APOE3/3 genotype.

Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), characterized by the accumulation of amyloid protein in the cerebral vasculature, is highly prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and, on its own, increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, cognitive impairment, and dementia. Currently, there are no effective ways to treat or prevent CAA. Ketogenic diet (KD), characterized by high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and moderate amounts of protein consumption, has gained considerable attention in recent years for its potential therapeutic use in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Chalcones have been described in the literature as promising antineoplastic compounds.
Objectives: Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the cytotoxic effect of 23 synthetic chalcones on human acute leukemia (AL) cell lines (Jurkat and K562).
Methods: Cytotoxicity assessment was performed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.

Background: Despite being the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders, there are comparatively few treatment options available to patients presenting with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The ketogenic diet has historically shown therapeutic utility in treating refractory epilepsy, an adjacent neuropsychiatric condition, in children, adolescents and adults. The following review explores preclinical and clinical literature focusing on the therapeutic potential of the ketogenic diet and exogenous ketone body supplementation in treating common neurodevelopmental disorders.

Electrochemical alcohol oxidation (EAO) represents an effective method for the production of high-value carbonyl products. However, its industrial viability is hindered by suboptimal efficiency stemming from low reaction rates. Here, we present a synergistic electrocatalysis approach that integrates an active electrode and aminoxyl radical to enhance the performance of EAO.
