  Neurogenetics: Precision Medicine-Based Approaches to Neurological Disorders with an Emphasis on Addressing Alzheimer’s Disease and Schizophrenia

summary:
  For example, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) are a type of stem cell derived from adult cells that have the potential to develop into di�erent types of cells in the body.26 These cells are created through a process called reprogramming which involves the introduction of speci�c genes into a specialized cell to reprogram it back to a state similar to that of an embryonic stem cell. Research involving diverse populations reveals varying prevalence rates of risk genes for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) based on ethnicity, with speci�c genetic variations being linked to susceptibility in Caucasian individuals but not in African-American or Hispanic populations.4 This evidence suggests that there are larger implications in other neurogenetic diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Schizophrenia.

summary:
  While TILs e�ectively eliminate tumor cells, they can be recruited by the TME, compromising immune response e�cacy.4 Regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain immune response balance, but when recruited to the TME, they hinder T cell formation, posing a danger to immune function. Consequently, immune mechanisms originally aimed at protecting the body now facilitate TME growth.10 NK cells surveil the bloodstream for tumor cells, inhibiting metastasis.8,9 Macrophages regulate immune responses by phagocytosing pathogens and presenting antigens.

  Exploring Ethical Frontiers: A Content Analysis of Perceptions Surrounding Genetic Editing in Mental Health Treatments Over Time

summary:
  For neurological diseases, the attitudes toward genetic editing technology treatment were characterized with a positive sentiment at 0.295 for the first five years of the last decade and a positive sentiment of 0.507 for the last five years. In order to establish a connection between the perceptions and patterns in attitudes supporting or against the application of genetic editing technologies and the ethical considerations of this form of healthcare treatment, it is appropriate to hypothesize that the overall trend will exhibit a positive correlation in sentiments of various polygenic diseases as time progresses over the last decade.

As a result, the application of epigenetic therapeutics in schizophrenia treatment remains limited, despite substantial evidence supporting its promise.

  Ultimately, studies show that adolescent stress and trauma leads to significant hormonal and morphological changes in the brain that result in psychological changes such as anxiety and depressive symptoms. 2. Morphological and Psychological Effects 2.1 Amygdala The amygdala, critical for emotional reactivity and cognitive processes such as memory, possesses a high concentration of glucocorticoid receptors that causes it to be susceptible to stress.7,8 During postnatal development, the amygdala undergoes a period of rapid growth which peaks during ages 9-11 and diminishes.9 These changes highlight the importance of the amygdala in studies regarding adolescent stress and trauma.

  Exploring the Role of Senescent Cells in Neurodegenerative Pathology: A Window Into Promising Therapeutic Avenues

summary:
  Research comparing biomarkers of senescence in young and aged mouse brains has shown that senescent cells increase with age, along with a rise in SASP factor genes.1 Consequently, this contributes to decreased tissue regeneration and increased neuroinflammation, paving the way for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis. The main function of SASP is to recruit immune cells for tissue damage repair; however, an abundance of senescent cells has a negative effect on tissue restoration and leads to a chronic, low-grade inflammation called “inflammaging”.8 Activation of inflammaging results in decreased clearance of senescent cells, establishing a positive feedback mechanism that ultimately further fuels inflammaging.

summary:
  Firmicutes are important gut bacteria for metabolism and Bacteroidetes, while sometimes beneficial, overabundance of this species can be damaging for gut barriers as it degrades the mucus barriers of intestines.121 In addition, a study on lactating women found that those with higher Vitamin E intake were associated with a decrease in proteobacteria, known to contain many pathogens and cause inflammation.119 This supports the idea that Vitamin E deficiency can increase inflammatory response. Finally, microbes interact with enteroendocrine cells to release gut hormones and control appetite, nutrition absorption, and digestion.10 Given how gut microbiomes maintain proper metabolic and neurological functions, the symbiosis of host and microbes is crucial.
