Identification of blood transcriptome modules associated with suicidal ideation in patients with major depressive disorder by Min Wang, Hailin Xiang, Jinxue Wei, Yikai Dou, Yushun Yan, Yue Du, Huanhuan Fan, Liansheng Zhao, Rongjun Ni, Xiao Yang, Xiaohong Ma

“…Additionally, three modules showed differences between MDD_nSI and HC: magenta (p = 0.009), brown (related to innate immunity and mitochondrial metabolism; p = 0.001), and turquoise (associated with energy metabolism and neurodegeneration; p = 0.005). Our findings highlight that gene expression regulation, immune response, and inflammation may be linked to SI in patients with MDD, while pathways associated with innate immunity, energy metabolism, mitochondrial function, and neurodegeneration appear to be more broadly related to MDD.…”

Ferritin as an Effective Prognostic Factor and Potential Cancer Biomarker by Katarzyna Szymulewska-Konopko, Joanna Reszeć-Giełażyn, Monika Małeczek

“…It has emerged as a biomarker not only for iron-related disorders but also for inflammatory diseases and conditions in which inflammation plays a key role, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and infection. Oxidative stress, which can cause cellular damage, is induced by reactive oxygen species generated during the Fenton reaction, activating signaling pathways associated with tumor growth and proliferation. …”

Impact of Aging in Microglia-Mediated D-Serine Balance in the CNS by Sebastián Beltrán-Castillo, Jaime Eugenín, Rommy von Bernhardi

“…Furthermore, D-serine dysregulation, in addition to affecting synaptogenesis and synaptic plasticity, appears also to potentiate NMDAR-dependent excitotoxicity, promoting neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. D-serine dysregulation promoted by microglia could have a role in age-related cognitive impairment and in the induction and progression of neurodegenerative processes like Alzheimer’s disease.…”
