This study developed a novel mouse model with tamoxifen-inducible knockout of the Gnpat gene, enabling late-onset plasmalogen deficiency to investigate its role in Alzheimer's disease. The model exhibited significant plasmalogen reduction and associated behavioral and nerve function changes, providing a valuable tool for future research on plasmalogen involvement in neurodegeneration and potential therapies.

This study found that female 5XFAD mice exhibit early impairments in prefrontal-dependent cognitive functions and increased activity of prefrontal PV neurons, unlike their male counterparts. These findings suggest a potential mechanism for the higher risk of Alzheimer's disease in women, highlighting sex-specific early deregulation in the prefrontal cortex.

The study explores the use of a novel gene delivery system, AAV-aMTD-Parkin, to enhance motor and cognitive functions in animal models of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. This system improves the delivery efficiency of therapeutic proteins, potentially offering a new treatment approach for these neurodegenerative disorders.
