Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) still prevails and continues to increase indiscriminately throughout the 21st century, and is thus responsible for the depreciating quality of health and associated sectors. AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by a significant amassment of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles near the hippocampus, leading to the consequent loss of cognitive abilities. Conventionally, amyloid and tau hypotheses have been established as the most prominent in providing detailed insight into the disease pathogenesis and revealing the associative biomarkers intricately involved in AD progression. Nanotheranostic deliberates rational thought toward designing efficacious nanosystems and strategic endeavors for AD diagnosis and therapeutic implications. The exceeding advancements in this field enable the scientific community to envisage and conceptualize pharmacokinetic monitoring of the drug, sustained and targeted drug delivery responses, fabrication of anti-amyloid therapeutics, and enhanced accumulation of the targeted drug across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), thus giving an optimistic approach towards personalized and precision medicine. Current methods idealized on the design and bioengineering of an array of nanoparticulate systems offer higher affinity towards neurocapillary endothelial cells and the BBB. They have recently attracted intriguing attention to the early diagnostic and therapeutic measures taken to manage the progression of the disease. In this article, we tend to furnish a comprehensive outlook, the detailed mechanism of conventional AD pathogenesis, and new findings. We also summarize the shortcomings in diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic approaches undertaken to alleviate AD, thus providing a unique window towards nanotheranostic advancements without disregarding potential drawbacks, side effects, and safety concerns.

Abstract
Biomolecules play vital roles in many biological processes and diseases, making their identification crucial. Herein, we present a colorimetric sensing method for detecting biomolecules like cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH). This approach is based on a reaction system whereby colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) undergoes catalytic oxidation to form blue-colored oxidized TMB (ox-TMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), utilizing the peroxidase and catalase-mimicking activities of metal-phenolic coordination frameworks (MPNs) of Cu-TA, Co-TA, and Fe-TA nanospheres. The Fe-TA nanospheres demonstrated superior activity, more active sites and enhanced electron transport. Under optimal conditions, the Fe-TA nanospheres were used for the detection of biomolecules. When present, biomolecules inhibit the reaction between TMB and H2O2, causing various colorimetric responses at low detection limits of 0.382, 0.776 and 0.750 μM for Cys, Hcy and GSH. Furthermore, it was successfully applied to real water samples with good recovery results. The developed sensor not only offers a rapid, portable, and user-friendly technique for multi-target analysis of biomolecules at low concentrations but also expands the potential uses of MPNs for other targets in the environmental field.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder without a cure. The onset of PD symptoms corresponds to 50% loss of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons, limiting early-stage understanding of PD. To shed light on early PD development, we study time series scRNA-seq datasets of mDA neurons obtained from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell differentiation. We develop a new data integration method based on Non-negative Matrix Tri-Factorization that integrates these datasets with molecular interaction networks, producing condition-specific "gene embeddings". By mining these embeddings, we predict 193 PD-related genes that are largely supported (49.7%) in the literature and are specific to the investigated PINK1 mutation. Enrichment analysis in Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways highlights 10 PD-related molecular mechanisms perturbed during early PD development. Finally, investigating the top 20 prioritized genes reveals 12 previously unrecognized genes associated with PD that represent interesting drug targets.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an aging-associated neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies containing α-synuclein within these neurons. Oligomeric α-synuclein exerts neurotoxic effects through mitochondrial dysfunction, glial cell inflammatory response, lysosomal dysfunction and so on. α-synuclein aggregation, often accompanied by oxidative stress, is generally considered to be a key factor in PD pathology. At present, emerging evidences suggest that metabolism alteration is closely associated with α-synuclein aggregation and PD progression, and improvement of key molecules in metabolism might be potentially beneficial in PD treatment. In this review, we highlight the tripartite relationship among metabolic changes, α-synuclein aggregation, and oxidative stress in PD, and offer updated insights into the treatments of PD, aiming to deepen our understanding of PD pathogenesis and explore new therapeutic strategies for the disease.

Abstract
Rationally designing highly catalytic and stable nanozymes for metabolite monitoring is of great importance because of their huge potential in early disease diagnosis. Herein, a novel nanozyme based on hierarchically structured CuS/ZnS with a highly efficient peroxidase (POD)-mimic capability was developed and synthesized for multiple metabolite determination and recognition via the plasmon-stimulated biosensor array strategy. The designed nanozyme can simultaneously harvest plasmon triggered hot electron-hole pairs and generate photothermal properties, leading to a sharply boosted POD-mimic capability under 808 nm laser irradiation. Interestingly, because of the interaction diversity of the metabolite with POD-like nanomaterials, the unique inhibitory effect of metabolites on the POD-mimic activity could be the signal response as the differentiation. Thus, utilizing TMB as a typical chromogenic substrate in the addition of H2O2, the designed colorimetric biosensor array can produce diverse fingerprints for the three vital metabolisms (cysteine (Cys), ascorbic acid (AA), and glutathione (GSH)), which can be precisely identified by principal component analysis (PCA). Notably, a distinct fingerprint of a single metabolite with different levels and metabolite mixtures is also achieved with a detection limit of 1 μM. Most importantly, cell lysis could be effectively discriminated by the biosensor assay, implying its great potential in clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Living model systems, ranging in complexity from bacterial culture to non-human primates, are a cornerstone in disease biology research. Despite their unquestionable usefulness, the disease modelling community remains acutely aware of the challenges and limitations of any individual model. To describe our collective predicament, we often (mis)use the quote by statistician George Box, ‘All models are wrong, but some are useful’.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disorder, whose complex aetiology remains under construction. While rare variants have been associated with the monogenic PD form, most PD cases are influenced by multiple genetic and environmental aspects. Nonetheless, the pathophysiological pathways and molecular networks involved in monogenic/idiopathic PD overlap, and genetic variants are decisive in elucidating the convergent underlying mechanisms of PD. In this scenario, metabolomics has furnished a dynamic and systematic picture of the synergy between the genetic background and environmental influences that impact PD, making it a valuable tool for investigating PD-related metabolic dysfunctions. In this review, we performed a brief overview of metabolomics current research in PD, focusing on significant metabolic alterations observed in idiopathic PD from different biofluids and strata and exploring how they relate to genetic factors associated with monogenic PD. Dysregulated amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress are the critical metabolic pathways implicated in both genetic and idiopathic PD. By merging metabolomics and genetics data, it is possible to distinguish metabolic signatures of specific genetic backgrounds and to pinpoint subgroups of PD patients who could derive personalized therapeutic benefits. This approach holds great promise for advancing PD research and developing innovative, cost-effective treatments.

Abstract
Impairments in systematic and regional glucose metabolism exist in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) at every stage of the disease course, and such impairments are associated with the incidence, progression, and special phenotypes of PD, which affect each physiological process of glucose metabolism including glucose uptake, glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and pentose phosphate shunt pathway. These impairments may be attributed to various mechanisms, such as insulin resistance, oxidative stress, abnormal glycated modification, blood-brain-barrier dysfunction, and hyperglycemia-induced damages. These mechanisms could subsequently cause excessive methylglyoxal and reactive oxygen species production, neuroinflammation, abnormal aggregation of protein, mitochondrial dysfunction, and decreased dopamine, and finally result in energy supply insufficiency, neurotransmitter dysregulation, aggregation and phosphorylation of α-synuclein, and dopaminergic neuron loss. This review discusses the glucose metabolism impairment in PD and its pathophysiological mechanisms, and briefly summarized the currently-available therapies targeting glucose metabolism impairment in PD, including glucagon-likepeptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and dual GLP-1/gastric inhibitory peptide receptor agonists, metformin, and thiazoledinediones.

Cell Death Dis 2023; 14:206.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by selective death of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain and motor function impairment. Gastrointestinal issues often precede motor deficits in PD, indicating that the gut-brain axis is involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. The features of PD include both mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). PINK1 is a mitochondrial kinase involved in the recycling of defective mitochondria, and PINK1 mutations cause early-onset PD. Like PD patients, pink1 mutant Drosophila show degeneration of DA neurons and intestinal dysfunction. These mutant flies also lack vital proteins due to sustained activation of the kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (dPerk), a kinase that induces the UPR. Here, we investigated the role of dPerk in intestinal dysfunction. We showed that intestinal expression of dPerk impairs mitochondrial function, induces cell death, and decreases lifespan. We found that suppressing dPerk in the intestine of pink1-mutant flies rescues intestinal cell death and is neuroprotective. We conclude that in a fly model of PD, blocking gut-brain transmission of UPR-mediated toxicity, is neuroprotective.
