Influenza nucleoprotein (NP)-specific T-cell receptor transgenic mice (F5) were crossed with transgenic mice expressing the cognate antigenic protein under the control of the H-2Kb promoter. Double-transgenic mice show negative selection of thymocytes at the CD4+8+TCRlo to CD4+8+TCRhi transition stage. A few CD8+ T cells, however, escape clonal deletion, and in the peripheral lymphoid organs of these mice, they exhibit low levels of the transgenic receptor and upregulated levels of the CD44 memory marker. Such cells do not proliferate upon exposure to antigen stimulation in vivo or ex vivo, however, they can develop low but detectable levels of antigen-specific cytotoxic function after stimulation in vitro in the presence of IL-2.

APP lysine 612 lactylation ameliorates amyloid pathology and memory decline in Alzheimer's disease.

Article Synopsis
- Posttranslational modification (PTM) of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), particularly lactylation, is linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its specific role is still unclear.
- Research showed reduced APP lactylation in AD patients and models, identifying lysine 612 as a key lactylation site, which affects APP processing and Aβ generation.
- A lactyl-mimicking mutant enhanced APP trafficking and reduced cognitive decline by modifying APP interactions, suggesting that targeting APP lactylation may offer new therapeutic avenues for Alzheimer's disease.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia, characterized by a complex pathogenesis that includes Aβ deposition, abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein, chronic neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. In traditional medicine, ginseng is revered as the 'king of herbs'. Ginseng has the effects of greatly tonifying vital energy, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the lungs, generating fluids and nourishing the blood, and calming the mind while enhancing intelligence.

Curcumin has been proposed as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to its ability to inhibit amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide aggregates and to destabilise pre-formed ones. Derivative 27 was synthesized to improve low-dose efficacy in the context of AD. Its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-amyloidogenic activities were evaluated in chemico, in vitro using AD and neuroinflammation cell models, and in vivo using the double-transgenic APP/PS1 mice.

Objective: To examine the effects of long-term aerobic exercise on oxidative stress and learning memory ability of APP/PS1 mice, focusing on the hippocampal Keap1, Nrf2, HO-1, and GPX4 proteins.
Methods: Thirty APP/PS1 double transgenic AD mice were randomly divided into three groups: model group, short-term exercise group, and long-term exercise group, with 10 mice in each group. Male non-transgenic mice of the same age served as the control group.

Article Synopsis
- Induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) can self-proliferate and differentiate into various neural cell types, making them a promising option for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
- A study combined valproic acid (VPA) with the reprogramming factor Sox2 to successfully convert mouse embryonic fibroblasts into iNSCs, improving the efficiency of this process.
- Transplanting these iNSCs into Alzheimer's disease model mice showed long-term survival, migration, differentiation into functional brain cells, and significant cognitive recovery, indicating their potential for therapeutic use.
