New findings in the mechanism of weight loss promote the improvement of obesity-related diseases
Obesity is a global, multifactorial disease defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. Obesity is associated with several comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)andcancer. Because of their increasing prevalence, significant impacts on health and medical costs, obesity with its comorbidities has become a public health concern. Traditionally, the cause of obesity is considered an imbalance between caloric intake and energy expended. Research has shown that a weight loss between 5% and 10% is enough to induce clinically relevant improvements in health risk factors such as raised blood......

Platelet factors attenuate inflammation and rescue cognition in ageing
Identifying therapeutics to delay, and potentially reverse, age-related cognitive decline is critical in light of the increased incidence of dementia-related disorders forecasted in the growing older population. Systemic rejuvenating interventions—such as heterochronic parabiosis (in which the circulatory systems of young and aged animals are joined)—can reverse age-related impairments in neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity and cognitive function in aged mice. Reports using heterochronic parabiosis led to studies in which systemic administration of blood plasma preparations derived from young or exercised mice was demonstrated to rejuvenate the aged brain. Although the field of rejuv......

New findings on potential treatments for Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common progressive neurodegenerative disease and its incidence is expected to increase as the global population ages.Resulting from a pathophysiologic loss or degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain and the development of neuronal Lewy Bodies, idiopathic PD is associated with risk factors including aging, family history, pesticide exposure and environmental chemicals. Given that aggregated and misfolded a-synuclein (a-Syn)species are the major constituents of Lewy bodies, PD is classified as a synucleinopathy. Numerous therapies have been developed that provide meaningful symptomatic benefits for the c......

Effect of Extracellular Ribonucleic Acids on Neurovascularization in Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, affects more than 7% of the global population. The prevalence of osteoarthritis is high in individuals of advanced age (>65 years).OA is a typical degenerative disease characterized by abnormal neurovascularization. The invasion of nerves and vessels in the osteochondral junction is one of its hallmarks and is the primary reason for aggravated pain. Anti-inflammatory drug therapy and surgery are the major treatment modalities for OA. However, until recently, long-term disease remission has not been achieved, and the uncertain pathophysiological mechanisms of OA limit treatment options. Many cytokines, including semaphorins, net......

New findings in bone regeneration
Bone tissue is a hard connective tissue of the human body and is constantly reshaped throughout the life of an individual. Bone tissue exerts both supporting and protective effects and can protect fragile organs within the body.When bone defect areas are small, most bones can undergo self-healing without any treatment. However, when bone tissue suffers damage beyond its ability to repair itself, bone damage can occur. Severe bone defects can be caused by tumor resection, severe trauma, infection, congenital malformation, osteogenesis imperfecta, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis, thus requiring clinical intervention. However, despite the high incidence of bone injury, treatment se......
