Activation of AMPK by GLP-1R Agonists Mitigates Alzheimer-Related Phenotypes in Transgenic Mice

I. Research Background and Scientific Question Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, with pathological features mainly including neuronal loss, neurofibrillary tangles, and senile plaques (mainly formed by amyloid-β [Aβ] deposition). According to statistics, the number of AD patients continues to rise each...

The Role of Diabetes and Age in Early Coronary Revascularization Among 'Stable' Patients with Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes

Academic Background Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) is a common cardiovascular disease, particularly among diabetic patients, whose incidence and mortality rates are significantly higher than those of non-diabetic patients. Although current clinical guidelines recommend early (within 24 hours) coronary revascularization ...

Cycling Alpha Cells in Regenerative Drug-Treated Human Pancreatic Islets May Serve as Key Beta Cell Progenitors

Academic Background Diabetes is a global health issue affecting over 500 million people. Both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) share the common feature of a significant reduction in the number of functional insulin-secreting beta cells. Therefore, restoring or increasing beta cell mass is considered a key strategy in diabetes treatme...
