Tau proteins and senescent Cells: Targeting aging pathways in Alzheimer's disease.

Brain Res

December 2024

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, Northern Border University, Rafha 91911, Saudi Arabia; Center for Health Research, Northern Border University, Arar, Saudi Arabia.

Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a serious neurodegenerative condition caused by the build-up of tau proteins and amyloid-β, resulting in cognitive decline and neuronal death.
  • Recent research suggests that aging processes, such as tau dysregulation and an increase in senescent cells, contribute to the disease's progression by triggering inflammation and damaging brain cells.
  • Potential treatments for AD aim to target both tau proteins and senescent cells using therapies like tau-directed drugs, senolytics to eliminate senescent cells, and agents that modify the harmful effects of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).

Pyrolysis can be a convenient way to produce oils and gases simultaneously, as well as hydrocarbons and even crude petrochemicals. It can also be used to produce energy from a waste plastic mixture (WPM). To ascertain the kinetics parameters at the heating rates of 5, 10, 20, and 50 °C min, various kinetic models, including (a) model-fitting and (b) model-free, which are further separated into isothermal and non-isothermal categories, have been selected.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is considered the most common type of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) as it holds 90 % of HNSCC cases that arise from multiple locations in the oral cavity. The last three decades witnessed little progress in the diagnosis and treatment of OSCC the aggressive tumor. However, in-depth knowledge about OSCC's pathogenesis, staging & grading, hallmarks, and causative factors is a prime requirement in advanced diagnosis and treatment for OSCC patients.

Non-coding RNAs in Parkinson's disease: Regulating SNCA and alpha-synuclein aggregation.

Pathol Res Pract

September 2024

Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, College of Pharmacy, Northern Border University, Rafha 91911, Saudi Arabia; Center for Health Research, Northern Border University, Arar, Saudi Arabia.

Article Synopsis
  • Parkinson's disease (PD) is linked to increased levels of alpha-synuclein proteins due to elevated expression of the SNCA gene, which leads to motor and cognitive decline.
  • Non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs, miRNAs, and siRNAs) play significant roles in regulating SNCA expression and alpha-synuclein aggregation, influencing the disease's progress.
  • The review suggests that targeting these small RNAs could open new avenues for developing therapeutic interventions to reduce alpha-synuclein accumulation in PD.

Bacterial histidine kinase (BHK) is a constituent of the two-component signaling (TCS) pathway, which is responsible for the regulation of a number of processes connected to bacterial pathogenicity, virulence, biofilm development, antibiotic resistance, and bacterial persistence. As BHK regulation is diverse, inhibitors can be developed, such as antibiotic synergists, bacteriostatic/bactericidal agents, virulence inhibitors, and biofilm inhibitors. Inhibition of essential BHK has always been an amenable strategy due to the conserved binding sites of the domains across bacterial species and growth dependence.

Harnessing pyroptosis for lung cancer therapy: The impact of NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Pathol Res Pract

August 2024

Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Bioscience, and Nursing, MAHSA University, Jenjarom, Selangor 42610, Malaysia.

Lung cancer is still a global health challenge in terms of high incidence, morbidity, and mortality. Recent scientific studies have determined that pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death, can be identified as a potential lung cancer therapeutic target. The NLRP3 inflammasome acts as a critical mediator in this process and, upon activation, activates multiprotein complex formation as well as caspase-1 activation.
