Neurological disorders affect approximately one billion people worldwide, with significant disability and mortality impacts, and this review explores how Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) promote Tau fibril formation and tangles in Alzheimer's disease, and the potential role of tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) in the intercellular transport of Tau and Amyloid β proteins, suggesting that HSPGs may influence TNT formation in neurodegenerative conditions.
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.

Elsevier's 2024 Gender Equality Study Reveals 20 Years Of Progress, But Challenges Remain For Women in Research And Innovation​​

Until now, the absence of data on global building floorspace has impeded the measurement of building carbon intensity (carbon emissions per floorspace) and the identification of ways to achieve carbon neutrality for buildings. For this study, we develop a global building stock model (GLOBUS) to fill that data gap.

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

Responsible Artificial Intelligence Re-engineering the Global Public Health Ecosystem: A Humanity Worth Saving, 2024, pp 215-243

This content aligns with Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being and Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure by considering the public health opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, as well as the need for more inclusive representation in key public health topics.

This article links to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by addressing Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and Goal 13 (Climate Action), as it highlights the significant greenhouse gas emissions associated with radiotherapy, a critical component of cancer treatment. By proposing strategies to reduce the environmental impact of oncology care through sustainable practices and treatment modifications, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating health care with climate action efforts to promote both patient well-being and environmental sustainability.
