This paper supports SDG 3 and 13 by showing that the rise in night-time heat due to climate change, which is particularly strong in urban areas due to the urban heat island effect, could have implications for health. The study found a significant association between night-time excess heat and risk of hospitalisation. Rapid urbanisation in low-income and middle-income countries means the numbers of people exposed to excess night-time heat will increase.

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.

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.
