Review on the study of active peptides in AD and PD, deals with role of inflamation, synaptic plasticity, and other learning, memory and cognitive functions related to AD
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.
