One Earth, Volume 7, 16 August 2024

This One Earth Research Article shows how increasing urbanization & land use change is contributing to warmer temperatures at regional and continental scales. The results have important implications regarding the need for climate mitigation and adaptation (SDG 13), urban planning (SDG 11) and the terrestrial biosphere (SDG 15).

The article presents the development of a novel fusion delivery platform called AAV-aMTD-Parkin, which combines a hydrophobic cell-penetrating peptide sequence with the DNA sequences of AAV and Parkin. This innovative approach has demonstrated significant improvements in cell and tissue permeability, leading to the restoration of motor and cognitive function in animal models of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).

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.

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.
