Alzheimer disease: Amyloid peptide controversies and challenges of anti-Aβ immunotherapy

Elsevier,

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Volume 392, August 2025
This review discusses the dual role of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While Aβ accumulation is a hallmark of AD pathology, soluble Aβ also plays a neuroprotective role in regulating synaptic plasticity and memory. The review explores the potential of anti-Aβ immunotherapy as a treatment strategy, highlighting the need to balance targeting toxic Aβ species while preserving the physiological functions of Aβ.`

Balancing Environmental Sustainability and Nutrition: Dietary Climate Impact in Relation to Micronutrient Intake and Status in a Swedish Cohort

Elsevier,

Current Developments in Nutrition, Volume 9, August 2025
The study demonstrates that adopting more climate-friendly diets, which typically involve reduced animal-based food consumption and lower absolute micronutrient intakes, does not substantially increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies for most nutrients. These findings underscore the importance of assessing both dietary intake and actual nutrient status when evaluating the nutritional consequences of sustainable eating patterns, supporting the potential health and environmental benefits of shifting toward climate-friendly diets.
