The article discusses the role of gut dysbiosis, bacterial amyloids, and metabolic diseases in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It highlights the bidirectional relationship between the gut microbiome, inflammation, and metabolic disorders, and how these interconnected pathways contribute to neurodegeneration. The review explores potential therapeutic strategies targeting the gut-brain-metabolic axis to mitigate AD progression.

World Telecommunication and Information Society Day is an annual celebration on May 17th. To raise awareness for this important topic, Elsevier presents a curated list of publicly available journal articles and book chapters to help advance #SDG9 and #SDG10 research.

Agriculture faces the increasing demands of a growing global population amid simultaneous challenges to soils from climate change and human-induced contamination. Cover plants are vital in sustainable agriculture, contributing to soil health improvement, erosion prevention, and enhanced climate resilience, but their role in contaminant management is underexplored. Herein we review the utilization of cover plants for remediating contaminants such as metals, organic pollutants, nitrate, antibiotics, antimicrobial resistance genes, plastics, and salts.

This study identified over 2,000 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid that change at different stages before Alzheimer's symptoms appear, revealing key biological processes involved in the disease. Using machine learning, the researchers developed highly accurate models to predict Alzheimer's biomarker status, clinical diagnosis, and future disease progression.
