This remodeling is primarily driven by cytoskeletal regulation and local protein synthesis, both of which shape spine morphology. The cytoskeleton, composed mainly of actin filaments and microtubules, provides structural integrity and plasticity to spines by tuning their dynamics. Complementing this, local protein synthesis supports spine growth and modification by enabling localized trafficking and translation of synaptic mRNAs. At a given time, stimuli elicit a cascade of synaptic events involving both cytoskeletal dynamics and localized translation that converge to orchestrate spine development. Importantly, these events are not governed solely by immediate cellular signaling; rather, it extends to include epigenetic modifiers that exert control over the spatial and temporal dynamics of spine development. Aberrant expression of such modifiers can disrupt spine development and contribute to synaptopathies-neurological disorders rooted from synaptic dysfunction. Previous research has cursorily examined how epigenetic regulation contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, lacking detailed exploration of epigenetics in individual synaptic events. However, understanding spine reprogramming and its epigenetic, underpinnings need to be deciphered. Emerging evidence suggests altered epigenetic profiles disturb the coordinated balance of synaptic machinery and its structural architecture.

This review explores the shared pathophysiological mechanisms between MetS and NDs, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance in the brain, blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction, mitochondrial damage, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and alterations in the renin-angiotensin system.

The two main hypotheses regarding AD involve the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) forming plaques and the intracellular hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, leading to the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). These processes are accompanied by neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, and eventual neuronal death. While soy foods are widely recognized for their nutritional benefits, soybean pulp (okara), the residue left over from making tofu or soybean milk, is mostly discarded as kitchen waste, despite being rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber, protein, and isoflavones. This underutilized byproduct may serve as a valuable resource for functional food development and sustainable resource use. In this study, fermented soybean pulp (FS) demonstrated neuroprotective effects. In vitro, FS at concentrations of 0.001 µg/mL and 0.01 µg/mL significantly improved cell viability in Aβ-induced HT-22 cells and reduced lipid peroxidation. Further, in vivo oral administration of FS attenuated the cognitive deficits of 5 × FAD mice, enhancing both short and long-term memory and reducing anxiety-like behaviors. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the FS-treated 5 × FAD mice group significantly reduced hippocampal amyloid plaque accumulation and gliosis. FS also upregulated the expression levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), PSD95, and synaptophysin, while preventing hippocampal neuronal loss. Mechanistically, FS may activate the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway and NF-κB-mediated inflammation through the modulation of the Akt/GSK3β signaling axis in the hippocampus. These molecular actions likely contribute to increased antioxidant enzymes and suppressed neuroinflammatory responses. Overall, this study suggests that FS has therapeutic potential for alleviating cognitive and behavioral impairments in AD.

Briefly, NSCs have shown potential in improving cognitive function and reducing AD pathology through targeted transplantation and neuroprotection; however, challenges such as optimizing transplantation protocols and ensuring effective cell integration persist. Concurrently, ESCs, with their pluripotent nature, present opportunities for modulating AD and generating therapeutic neurons, but ethical concerns and immunogenicity present significant obstacles to clinical application. Moreover, MSCs have demonstrated potential in ameliorating AD-related pathology and promoting neurogenesis, offering a more accessible alternative with fewer ethical constraints.
