The article describes the development of a self-regulated multi-functional nano-modulator (siR/PIO@RP) that can intelligently navigate to the damaged blood-brain barrier and release therapeutic cargoes for synergetic Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. The nano-modulator is capable of reducing cerebral amyloid-β load, relieving neuroinflammation, and alleviating the dysfunction of the neurovascular unit, providing proof of concept that normalizing the neurovascular unit holds promise as a means of alleviating AD symptoms.

The article explores the associations between three healthy dietary patterns (DASH, aMED, and HDS) and homeostatic dysregulation (HD), a measure of aging-related physiological dysregulation, in a large prospective cohort from less-developed ethnic minority regions in China.
