Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a detrimental cellular phenomenon in the cells and is activated by the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in the ER. The unfolded protein accumulation activates the unfolded protein response (UPR), an...
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss. Increasing evidence highlights oxidative stress as a pivotal contributor to AD pathogenesis, closely associated...
The entrance of cells into a permanent state of cell cycle arrest with the ability to resist apoptosis is termed “cellular senescence”. The accumulation of senescent cells within the body can lead to tissue aging and the dysfunction of or...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms due to the loss of dopamine-producing neurons and the presence of Lewy bodies in the brain. While current treatments such as dopa...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a brain disorder that is more prevalent in developed nations and remains one of most intractable conditions so far. It is characterized by a gradual onset, a prolonged progression, and an unclear pathophysiology. At...
Background/Objectives: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that disrupts functional brain connectivity, leading to cognitive and functional decline. Electroencephalography (EEG), a noninvasive and cost-effective...
The gut microbiota (GM) communicates with the brain via biochemical signaling constituting the gut–brain axis, which significantly regulates the body’s physiological processes. The GM dysbiosis can impact the digestive system and the func...
Background/Objectives: To avoid becoming mired in prolonged deep dementia, some people seek to hasten death by advance instructions rejecting life-sustaining medical intervention (LSMI) at a point of cognitive decline they define in advance as unacce...
Introduction: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement does not generate consensus in palliative care, given the existing doubts about whether it significantly contributes to an improvement in patient outcomes such as survival, quality of...
Background/Objectives: Levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), arachidonic acid (AA), and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are higher in the brain of subjects affected by cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), compared to a health...
