Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder marked by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. The precise molecular mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis remain uncertain, underscoring the need for further investigation to identify novel therapeutic targets. We recently demonstrated that mitochondrial calcium (Ca) overload significantly contributes to the development of AD, capable of independently driving AD-like pathology.

Neuroblastoma is the most prevalent extracranial solid tumor among children and exhibits remarkable heterogeneity. The methylation of cytosine to form 5-methylcytosine (m5C) is the primary type of modification found in DNA and RNA. The NOL1/NOP2/sun (NSUN) family, specifically NSUN1, is responsible for the methylation process and has been shown to play a key role in cell differentiation and cancer development.

Objective: Potassium voltage-gated channel sub-family A member 1 (Kv1.1), as a shaker homolog potassium channel, displays a special mechanism for posttranscriptional regulation called RNA editing. Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 2 (ADAR2) can cause abnormal editing or loss of normal editing, which results in cell damage and related diseases.

Alzheimer's disease, the leading cause of dementia globally, represents an unresolved clinical challenge due to its complex pathogenesis and the absence of effective treatments. Considering the multifactorial etiology of the disease, mainly characterized by the accumulation of amyloid β plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of tau protein, we discuss the A673V mutation in the gene coding for the amyloid precursor protein, which is associated with the familial form of Alzheimer's disease in a homozygous state. The mutation offers new insights into the molecular mechanisms of the disease, particularly regarding the contrasting roles of the A2V and A2T mutations in amyloid β peptide aggregation and toxicity.

Epilepsy is one of the oldest neurological disorders discovered by mankind. This condition is firmly coupled with unprovoked seizures stimulated by irrepressible neuroelectrical blasts. Orally taken valproate family has been employed for prophylactic management; however, oral administration is not applicable for critical scenarios, thus calling for medication routes fulfilling necessities of immediate innervation.
