A Systematic Online Living Evidence Summary of experimental Alzheimer's disease research

Elsevier,

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, Volume 409, September 2024
Despite significant investment, effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been elusive, necessitating improved quality and reproducibility of foundational laboratory evidence; to address this, AD-SOLES, an integrated workflow of automated tools and a publicly accessible interactive dashboard, has been developed to collect, curate, and visualize in vivo experimental evidence, enhancing evidence synthesis, tracking reporting quality, and aiding researchers in locating relevant data.

Uncovering the impact and mechanisms of air pollution on eye and ear health in China

Elsevier,

iScience, Volume 27, 20 September 2024
In this study, the authors estimate the causal effect of air pollution on eye and ear health. They find that eye or ear disease possibility rises 1.48% for a 10 μg/m3 increase in four-week average PM2.5 concentration. The impacts can last about 28 weeks and will be insignificant afterward.

Intersections of Climate Change with Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health: An Overview and Evidence Map

Elsevier,

Advances in Nutrition, Volume 15, September 2024
The article systematically reviews research linking climate change to food systems, nutrition, and health (FSNH) from 2018-2023. It identifies key research gaps and presents an Evidence and Gap Map (EGM) to visualize the current landscape. Most studies focus on climate impacts on crop and livestock production, while fewer address nutrition-related health and postharvest processes. Addressing these gap is critical for developing effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategies that promote both human and planetary health.

Current Developments in Alzheimer's Disease: Developments in Alzheimer's Disease

Elsevier,

The American Journal of Medicine, Available online 27 August 2024

The present mini-commentary on Alzheimer's disease describes recently revealed pathogenic elements, evolving capabilities for identifying unusually high individual susceptibility and developing tests that predict onset preclinically to allow preventative approaches. Several potential therapies that target cellular signaling and other pathways that are abnormal in Alzheimer's disease are in early clinical trials and will be reviewed briefly.

Negative impacts of social isolation on behavior and neuronal functions are recovered after short-term social reintroduction in zebrafish

Elsevier,

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, Volume 134, 30 August 2024
This study evaluated the behavioral, physiological, and molecular effects of social isolation (SI) in adult zebrafish, and whether the animals recover such changes after their reintroduction to the social environment. The results show that SI altered social behaviors, neural activity, and serotonergic and dopaminergic signaling in zebrafish, but these changes were reversed after the animals were reintroduced to a social context for 6 days.
