Neurochemistry International, Volume 176, June 2024

This study finds that impaired cellular immune dysfunction in AD patients was significantly correlated with abnormal MRS, and neuroimmune dysfunction may contribute to the pathogenesis of AD and alter the metabolism of neurotransmitters such as aspartic acid and MI in the brains of AD patients.

Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, Volume 219, June 2024

This study identified key biochemical pathways and protein changes in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) human hippocampus, revealing increased expression of proteins VGF, GFAP, HSPB1, and APP, with UBC being most centrally involved, and highlighted the roles of four hub proteins (CD44, APP, ITGB2, APOE) linked to amyloid plaques and two (RPL24, RPS23) to neurofibrillary tangles, along with the impact of modified proteins on immune activation and synaptic disruption, uncovering potential therapeutic targets involving specific proteins, microRNAs, and transcription factors.

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, Volume 406, June 2024

This study presents an optimized method for isolating specific neuronal and glial cell populations and extracellular vesicles (EVs) from postmortem Alzheimer's disease (AD) cortical samples, demonstrating the feasibility of using a single cryopreserved brain sample to obtain RNA-seq and protein-level data, thereby enhancing understanding of neuron/glial interactions and disease progression.

eClinicalMedicine, Volume 72, June 2024

This Article supports SDG3 by evaluating sex and gender disparities in terms of risk factors, treatment uptake/completion, and virological outcomes for hepatitis C, finding differences between men and women in, for example, exposure to different risk factors and likelihood of commencing treatment. More attention is needed in research to these disparities and how they could be addressed

One Earth, Volume 7, 21 June 2024

This research emphasizes the importance of equitable governance and recognizing the leadership roles of Indigenous peoples and local communities in conservation efforts. The study suggests that more positive ecological outcomes are associated with governance structures that give Indigenous peoples and local communities equal partnership or primary control, aligning with the goals of the International Day of Indigenous Peoples to elevate their leadership roles and respect their rights and customary institutions in conservation initiatives.

Geoderma Regional, Volume 37, June 2024

By depleting soil nutrients, soil degradation (SD) threatens agricultural production and population growth in the Guinea savanna of Ghana. Awoonor et al., 2024 used multivariate statistical techniques on samples collected by using the Land Degradation Surveillance Framework (LDSF) to identify key SD processes, assess soil properties, and propose monitoring strategies. The authors highlight the need for integrated soil fertility management strategies, such as applying organic and inorganic fertilizers, to increase soil nutrient availability and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
