The microtubule-dynamin binding inhibitor peptide PHDP5 rescues spatial learning and memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease model mice

Elsevier,

Brain Research, Volume 1838, 1 September 2024

The study demonstrates that the peptide PHDP5, which inhibits dynamin-MT interaction, can rescue impaired endocytosis and synaptic transmission caused by tau in presynaptic terminals. When administered intranasally to Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice, PHDP5 significantly improved learning and memory, suggesting its potential as a candidate for human AD therapy.

A Systematic Online Living Evidence Summary of experimental Alzheimer's disease research

Elsevier,

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, Volume 409, September 2024

Despite significant investment, effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been elusive, necessitating improved quality and reproducibility of foundational laboratory evidence; to address this, AD-SOLES, an integrated workflow of automated tools and a publicly accessible interactive dashboard, has been developed to collect, curate, and visualize in vivo experimental evidence, enhancing evidence synthesis, tracking reporting quality, and aiding researchers in locating relevant data.

Societal Impact of Recycling Waste into Composite Materials

Elsevier,

Societal Impacts, Volume 4, December 2024, 100082

This study explores the social impact of recycling human hair, waste face masks, and RMG waste into composite fields, which will help to reduce environmental pollution and global warming, achieve sustainability, develop a circular economy, and deter climate change. In contrast to societal impacts, the scalability, cost-effectiveness, and long-term durability of composites will not be an issue since the cost of waste is tiny, composite's strengths are higher than some natural fiber-reinforced composites, and those wastes can also be used to fabricate hybrid composites as cheap constituents.

The projected impact of the inflation reduction act's climate provisions on cardiovascular and respiratory outcomes

Elsevier, American Journal of Preventive Cardiology, Volume 19, September 2024
This study used the Energy Policy Simulator to project the health benefits of the US achieving its 2030 NDC greenhouse gas reduction targets by 205. Results indicate significant reductions in adverse health outcomes, uncluding thousands of avoided asthma attacks, heart attacks, hospitalizations, respiratory issues, lost workdays, and deaths - particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, who are expected to experience the largest relative health benefits.

Uncovering the impact and mechanisms of air pollution on eye and ear health in China

Elsevier,

iScience, Volume 27, 20 September 2024

In this study, the authors estimate the causal effect of air pollution on eye and ear health. They find that eye or ear disease possibility rises 1.48% for a 10 μg/m3 increase in four-week average PM2.5 concentration. The impacts can last about 28 weeks and will be insignificant afterward.

Intersections of Climate Change with Food Systems, Nutrition, and Health: An Overview and Evidence Map

Elsevier,

Advances in Nutrition, Volume 15, September 2024

The article systematically reviews research linking climate change to food systems, nutrition, and health (FSNH) from 2018-2023. It identifies key research gaps and presents an Evidence and Gap Map (EGM) to visualize the current landscape. Most studies focus on climate impacts on crop and livestock production, while fewer address nutrition-related health and postharvest processes. Addressing these gap is critical for developing effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategies that promote both human and planetary health.
