However, its usability can be hindered by age-related sensory, motor, and cognitive changes, which may contribute to anxiety, disorientation, and reduced task engagement. In this narrative review, we examine the challenges older adults face with IVR and explore strategies to optimize its design for this population. These challenges include negative attitudes, sensory and motor limitations, and cognitive decline, all of which influence interaction with virtual environments. Based on these insights, we discuss design considerations such as self-paced interactions, simplified control mechanisms, task-relevant visual and auditory adjustments, and structured training protocols to enhance engagement. Additionally, we highlight strategies to minimize cognitive load and physical discomfort, supporting the development of IVR applications that are both effective and accessible for aging populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":93862,"journal":{"name":"Ageing research reviews","volume":" ","pages":"102771"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144082746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the evolution of cardiovascular diseases, the accumulation of angiotensin II and advanced glycation end products can lead to the excessive activation of the RAGE/TLR4-JNK1/2 pathway, which subsequently triggers ferritinophagy, clockophagy, and enhanced p53 activity, ultimately leading to cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. It is evident that deeply unraveling the specific mechanisms in this field and comprehensively evaluating potential drugs and therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway is crucial for improving the status of cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. However, our current understanding of this pathway's specific molecular biological mechanisms in the process of cardiomyocyte ferroptosis remains limited. In light of this, this paper first comprehensively reviews the historical context of ferroptosis research, compares the similarities and differences between ferroptosis and other standard modes of cell death, elucidates the core mechanisms of ferroptosis and its close connection with heart failure, aiming to establish a basic cognitive framework for readers on ferroptosis and its role in heart failure. Subsequently, the paper delves into the pivotal role of the RAGE/TLR4-JNK1/2 pathway in cardiomyocyte ferroptosis and its intricate molecular biological regulatory network. Furthermore, it systematically integrates various therapeutic approaches aimed at inhibiting RAGE, TLR4, and JNK1/2 activity to alleviate cardiomyocyte ferroptosis, encompassing RNA interference technology, gene knockout techniques, small molecule inhibitors, natural active ingredients, as well as traditional Chinese and Western medicines, with the ultimate goal of forging new avenues and strategies for the prevention and treatment of heart failure.</p>","PeriodicalId":93862,"journal":{"name":"Ageing research reviews","volume":" ","pages":"102770"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144060809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The RELN-COLBOS variant enhances interactions with the apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (ApoER2) and very-low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), which are associated with delayed AD onset and progression. These findings were validated in a transgenic mouse model. Reelin is involved in neurodevelopment, neurogenesis, and neuronal plasticity. The evidence accumulated thus far has demonstrated that the Reelin pathway links apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4), amyloid-β (Aβ), and tubulin-associated unit (Tau), which are key proteins that have been implicated in AD pathogenesis.
