Improving cognitive impairment through chronic consumption of natural compounds/extracts: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials by Long Ngo Hoang, Haesung Lee, Sook Jeong Lee

“…Additionally, a suggestive trend toward improvement in MMSE scores was observed in a subgroup analysis of 1,717 participants (pooled standardized mean difference = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.06 to 1.46, t18 = 2.27, p = 0.04).ConclusionThese findings support the potential cognitive benefits of extended (≥6 weeks) supplementation with natural compounds or extracts in individuals with MCI or AD. Further research is warranted to confirm these results and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/.…”

Chromatin remodeling in oligodendrogenesis by E. V. Antontseva, N. P. Bondar

“…Given that different parts of the central nervous system are myelinated at different stages of development and most regions contain both myelinated and unmyelinated axons, it is obvious that very precise mechanisms must exist to control the myelination of individual axons. As they go through the stages of specification and differentiation – from multipotent neuronal cells in the ventricular zone of the neural tube to mature myelinating oligodendrocytes as well as during migration along blood vessels to their destination – cells undergo dramatic changes in the pattern of gene expression. …”
