Congratulations! Professor Chen has been elected as a member of the Academia Europaea.



Background: Neurotrophic Factor-α1/Carboxypeptidase E (NF-α1/CPE) is a pivotal neuroprotective protein implicated in rescuing cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, its direct role in AD pathogenesis remains unexplored. Methods: We utilized the Cre/LoxP system to diminish NF-α1/CPE expression, and employed AAV-mediated overexpression of NF-α1/CPE. Results: NF-α1/CPE expression was significantly down-regulated in advanced stages of AD and with age in 5xFAD mice. Reduced NF-α1/CPE levels in the hippocampus of 5xFAD mice increased plaque....
Mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA regulation may impact the endocytosis of dopamine transporter (DAT) by influencing processes like neuronal survival, thereby contributing to the initiation and progression of Parkinson's Disease (PD). Some small molecule inhibitors or natural bioactive compounds have the potential to modulate epigenetic processes, thereby reversing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) reprogramming and abnormal differentiation, offering potential therapeutic effects for PD. Although no specific DNA modification enzyme directly regulates....
