Authors: Piya Roshan , Shrestha Anil , Pradhan Manisha , Amatya Shirish Prasad , Shrestha Aimi , Poudel Sangeeta
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Anesthesiologists play an important role in the management of peri-operative risk and the perception of patients towards anesthesia and the role of anesthesiologists are often underestimated. Newer initiatives are required to increase communication with patients and educate them about the importance of anesthesia during surgery. The study aims to assess perception in relation to education level and patients’ previous exposure to anesthesia about anesthesia and the role of the anesthesiologist.

Method: A cross-sectional, predesigned Nepali questionnaire-based study was conducted after approval from the Institutional Review Committee (IRC), Patan Academy of Health Sciences. A total of386 above 14 years old hospital admitted patients undergoing elective surgery in different departments of Patan Hospital were included. Data was collected during the pre-anesthetic evaluation one day before surgery. Perception of patients in relation to educational level and previous exposure to surgery and chi-square test was done at p<0.05 statistically significant.

Result: Among 386 participants, 246(63.4%)participants had no previous anesthetic exposure and showed significant difference on perception about the meaning of anaesthesia and administration of anesthetic medicine among patients with previous exposure of anaesthesia and without. Among participants,38(9.8%) were uneducated and awareness about anesthesia and different techniques of anesthesia was poor. Only 193 (50%) participants knew that anesthetic medicine is given by anesthesiologist and 131 (33.9%) knew that anaesthesiologist were responsible for controlling vital signs during surgery. Study revealed poor knowledge regarding the role of anesthesiologist and showed a statistically significant difference in educational level of patient.

Conclusion: Perception on anesthesia and role of anaesthesiologist was less in relation to educational level and previous exposure to anesthetic among study participants.
The role of class III peroxidases in lignification of axial organs of Zinnia under copper stress

Published: November 2022

The effect of copper ions (100 and 200 μM CuSO4) in a long-term experiment on the activity of class III peroxidases and PRX gene expression level in the root and stem of juvenile zinnia plants was studied. It was found that an increase in the content of copper ions in the root system was accompanied by the rise of hydrogen peroxide, which led to the growth of the activity of neutral guaiacol peroxidase (GPO) and acid benzidine peroxidase (BPO). The relative number of PRX gene transcripts also increased in the root that caused additional lignification, especially, Klason lignin. In the stem, the copper content in the experimental plants was comparable to the control level. An increase in the activity of peroxidases contributed to a decrease in the amount of hydrogen peroxide in this organ and was accompanied by a compensatory rise in the lignin content. The increase of the expression level of PRX gene suggests its role in the formation of plant resistance to the prolonged impact of copper ions due to enhanced lignification of cell walls.
Symbiotic genes of legumes detected by transcriptomic analysis
Authors: Zorin E.A. , Zhukov V.A.
Published: November 2022

Legumes form symbioses with nodule bacteria (NB) and arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi(AM). The formation of symbioses increases the resistance of plants to stress and contributes to obtaining a stable harvest even in conditions of global climate change. The study of the molecular basis of symbioses formed by legumes is necessary to increase the effectiveness of these symbioses when they are used in modern agriculture. Previously, individual regulatory genes (so-called Sym genes) controlling some stages of symbiosis development were studied for model legumes using mutation analysis. Currently, high throughput sequencing technologies allow us to study a complete set of genes encoding the "molecular symbiosis machine" and necessary for ensuring the metabolic integration of symbionts. Among them, there are genes encoding nodulins (from the “nodule”), proteins specific for legume-rhizobial symbiosis (LRS), and mycorrhizins specific for arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis. The products of genes whose expression is induced during the development of both LRS and AMS are called symbiosins. The genes encoding symbiosins, nodulins and mycorrhizins have been studied on the model legumes Medicago truncatula Gaertn., Lotus japonicus (Regel.) K. Larsen and Glycine max (L.) Merr., while the symbiosis-specific genes of non-model legumes, as well as the features of their expression, have not been sufficiently studied to date. The use of transcriptomics approaches (i.e., the study of the entire set of expressed genes, the so-called transcriptome) makes it possible to fill this knowledge gap. In this paper, we have summarized the results of research of the expression of the above groups of genes in legumesin recent years.
Developing an Anti-Biased, Anti-Racist Stance in Second Language Teacher Education Programs

Published: November 2022

Addressing race/racism and colonialism in French as a second language (FSL) education is essential to preparing culturally responsive teachers and meeting the Ministry mandate to teach students equitably and with respect. This article describes whether, and if so, how, candidates are being prepared to disrupt colonial ideologies and practices with data from a three-year project on FSL teacher preparation in two Ontario faculties of education. Interviews were conducted with professors and teacher candidates. Using a critical qualitative approach to identify emerging themes, the study applied an anti-biased, anti-racist (ABAR) lens to identify racialized power inequities that can form across French languages, cultures, and marginalized groups, oppressive common-sense principles, and systemic influences around three main themes: teaching culture and promoting intercultural competence; addressing equity, inclusion, and racism explicitly; and Whiteness, Eurocentrism, and representation in FSL. Findings indicate that while programs have begun to integrate equity, inclusion, interculturality, and the representation of the global francophonie, there is a pressing need for more preparation and training for professors and teacher candidates to develop critical equity skills that lead to their becoming culturally responsive teachers. Practical strategies and theory building through collaborative research are needed to support educators in taking up an ABAR stance in FSL teacher education programs.
Наступність у системі «коледж-університет» при підготовці майбутніх учителів початкових класів на засадах праксеологічого підходу
Authors: Dzhanda Galina
Published: November 2022

У статті розглянуто питання наступності при підготовці майбутніх учителів початкових класів на засадах праксеологічого підходу у системі «коледж-університет». Основною метою дослідження було обрано – визначення можливостей забезпечення наступності навчання в умовах у визачній системі. Було поставлено завдання даного дослідження: проаналізувати та конкретизувати особливості неперервної освіти у системі «коледж-університет»; визначити основні шляхи забезпечення наступності освіти в досліджуваній системі. Для досягнення мети було використано комплекс методів: теоретичні; емпіричні; методи математичної статистики. Визначено, що поняття «наступності» розглядали багато науковців і з психологічної та педагогічної точки зору. Ми дійшли висновку, що «наступність» слід розуміти як регулятор переходу людини від одного етапу його розвитку до іншого, що забезпечує міцність зв’язку одиниць різних рівнів. У працях науковців подано модель забезпечення й досягнення наступності в ступеневій ланці освіти, яку складають: методологічні основи; теоретичні основи; створення інформаційного середовища; аналіз ефективності впливу принципів наступності; діагностування наступності.

У нашому експерименті ми впроваджували принцип наступності використовуючи навчальні дисципліни «Українська мова за професійним спрямуванням» (вивчається в коледжі) та «Методика навчання мовно-літературної освітньої галузі (українська мова) (вивчається в університеті). Вони цілком забезпечують поєднання нoвиx фopм opгaнiзaцiï i cпocoбiв дiяльнocтi зi cтapими. Врахування внутріпредметних зв’язків дозволяє орієнтуватися в розвитку знань, умінь і навичок не тільки на попередній етап навчання, але й на ті знання, уміння, навички, які зв’язані з одиницею мови, яку вивчають в інших розділах курсу.

Таким чином пpинцип наступності впливає на гoтoвнicть випycкникiв кoлeджy дo освітнього процесу в університеті. Його використання забезпечує формування професійності майбутнього фахівця.

Authors: Casadei Eliza Bachega
Published: November 2022

O objetivo do presente artigo é mapear algumas das operações enunciativas presentes na convocação ao consumo de paternidades bem-sucedidas em perfis autobiográficos do Instagram para pais cuidadores. Trata-se de produções culturais em que os discursos sobre modelos de sucesso da identidade masculina são materializados e reproduzidos e, portanto, atuam na construção de um tipo específico de “pai cuidador” que está em constante negociação com os discursos sobre masculinidade hegemônica. Nosso principal interesse reside em observar a quais modelos discursivos de masculinidade esse pai-cuidador responde e que tipo de relacionamento ele estabelece com a masculinidade hegemônica.

Published: November 2022

Students must own motivation as a driver of the learning process in order to improve their learning outcomes. This study aims to compare students’ motivation and learning outcomes using the GI and STAD models. The study adopted a quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group design. Given that the research population was 40 students who took education management courses, the sampling technique used was saturated sampling where all populations were used as research samples. Class A (GI model) and B (STAD model) each amounted to 20. This study used a questionnaire instrument to measure learning motivation and a description test to measure learning outcomes. Prior to the usage of the test, a trial was conducted to determine its validity and reliability. The results of the descriptive analysis obtained almost the same mean, STAD (3.27) and GI (3.01) learning motivations had a difference of 0.26, while the mean STAD (82.75) and GI (80.15) learning outcomes had a difference of 2.60. The prerequisite test, which shows motivation data and learning outcomes, are normally distributed and homogeneous. Testing the hypothesis with the Paired Sample T-Test revealed a small difference in student motivation and learning outcomes in the application of the GI and STAD models. In conclusion, it can be surmised that STAD and GI models can improve student motivation and learning outcomes. Therefore, STAD and GI models can be used in learning, especially in education management courses.

Pyrite cinders, waste products of pyrite concentrate processing by firing to produce sulfuric acid, can serve as raw materials for the extraction of precious, ferrous, and non-ferrous metals. The paper considers the possibilities of obtaining non-ferrous metal concentrate from pyrite cinders by sulfuric acid leaching. This operation is one of the stages in the integrated technology. To increase the extraction of non-ferrous metals during leaching, the method of preliminary chemical activation was used. Chemical activation was carried out in a solution containing 40-120 g/dm3 NaНCO3 at temperatures of 90-230 ° C and a duration of 30-300 minutes. Sulfuric acid leaching of pyrite cinder after activation was carried out in H2SO4 solutions with a concentration of 5-20 % at a temperature of 60 ° C, duration of 30 minutes, and pulp density of 33 %. To determine the optimal conditions for the sulfuric acid leaching of pyrite cinders, a mathematical planning method was used, which allows to assess with a high degree of reliability the influence of the main factors (temperature, pulp density, the concentration of the solution NaHCO3 and duration) and predict an increase in the efficiency of the process by analyzing the numerical values of the regression equations. As a result of sulfuric acid leaching of pyrite cinders after preliminary chemical activation under optimal conditions determined by a mathematical model, the extraction of iron and non-ferrous metals into a solution is 10-15% higher than without activation.

Suggestions on University-led Lifelong Education Model for Seniors: Comparative Analysis of European U3As
Authors:   Korean Society of Educational Gerontology, Lee Romee , Park Seong-Hie
Published: November 2022

As the baby-boomer generation of Korea is incorporated into the elderly population, personal needs for self-development and the demands for building a democratic community are growing. Lifelong education for seniors needs to be shifted from the paradigm of leisure and welfare to the paradigm of lifelong education, led by universities or equivalent educational organizations, that supports the awareness, growth, and social participation of the senior citizen. Considering this issue, this study is to present possible models for establishing university-led lifelong education system for seniors in Korea.
Therefore, this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the literature on the history of U3A development, educational goals, operating system, learner characteristics, and educational contents on the UK and Germany and to present a Korean university-led lifelong education model for seniors and suggestions for its implementation. As a result, the Korean model was presented in four different models: Continental U3A model application, university platform provision, expert provision, and British U3A model application. The suggested directions of Korean U3A are: first, universities and other organizations need to be involved and offer learners quality education and certificates afterwards. Second, the educational goals and contents of education need to be structured for the expansion of social capital of seniors and therefore community development.
A Systematic Review on the Learning of Middle-Aged Women in Korea: From the Multi-Stage Life Perspective
Authors:   Korean Society of Educational Gerontology, Ha Jiyoung , Lee Romee , Heo Gyeong Mi
Published: November 2022

This study aims to analyze the Korean studies on the learning experiences of middle-aged women from the multi-stage life approach. The women in selected 66 studies feature different experiences and educational needs of the women who are different from those of the previous generation. Through systematic review as a research method, general trends of the studies, the learning characteristics of the learners, the challenges and obstacles in learning and the suggestions addressed by the researchers of these studies were explored. As a result of the analysis, three key problems of the studies were derived. First, the transformative learning theory as a major theoretical perspective chosen in many studies tends to be problematic to be a explanatory lens of understanding middle-aged women as learners due to possible bias in the participant selection. Second, the learning experiences of the women are generally reported as ‘delayed experiences’ which may obscure the existence of previous learning experiences. Third, challenges and obstacles experienced in the learning process were mainly reported in the field of formal education, but the solutions suggested by the researchers are largely limited to individual efforts. Based on these critiques, suggestions were presented to build a robust lifelong education environment for middle-aged adults including these women.
Reframing silence: Insights into language learners’ thoughts about silence and speaking-related anxiety
Authors: Maher Kate
Published: November 2022

For some language learners, feeling too nervous to speak in the target language in the classroom can generate an array of negative thoughts; from frustration due to missed speaking practice opportunities to anxiety over their language skills (Curry, Maher, Peeters, 2020). Using King's (2014; King Smith, 2017) cognitive-behavioural model of silent L2 learners' anxiety, this paper examines the relationship between language learners' anxiety and in-class silent behaviour in the context of a Japanese university EFL classroom. Forty-five semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 participants who felt that anxiety limited their in-class oral participation. Initially, almost all the participants attributed their silence and speaking anxiety to a lack of linguistic ability, such as insufficient vocabulary or poor pronunciation. However, more potent underlying factors were revealed during the reframing exercise, suggesting that anxiety related to social performance and interpersonal relationships with peers also triggered their silent behaviours.
Investigating Indian ESL Learners’ Silent Behaviour in Response to Oral Tasks in Online and Offline Classes
Authors: Lakshmi Suvarna , Mutyala Udaya , Reddy Ramamuni
Published: November 2022

As teachers and researchers, we are intrigued by learner silence and wonder how to understand silence in the classroom, particularly when silence prevails as we request a response to an oral task. In Indian ESL contexts, reasons for learner silence are less investigated as it is considered juxtaposed to classroom interaction. This study explored reasons for undergraduate level learner silence in online and offline language classrooms in relation to teacher questioning. It further tried to surface the reasons for learners’ silent behaviour. Though the nature of the study is qualitative, as the data collected is from 125 students, it is quantified. The implications of the study suggest that online and offline teachers focus on the quality of speaking tasks in the classroom with a better understanding of learners’ silent behaviour and prudent planning of classroom interaction activities resulting in effective learning.
Problems of criminal law sciences in the context of the unification of scientific specialties (In memory of Viktor V. Luneev)
Authors: Tsvetkov Yuri A.
Published: November 2022

The article discusses the methodological and organizational problems of combining the legal sciences of the anti-criminal cycle into an enlarged specialty 5.1.4. “Criminal Law Sciences”. The main risks for the development of sciences within the framework of the combined specialty are predicted. The prospects of overcoming the crisis of these sciences, which became the subject of controversy between V.V. Lunev, V.N. Kudryavtsev, A.V. Naumov, and continues to remain so between a new generation of scientists, are assessed. The difficulties and ambiguity of various options for constructing the hierarchy of criminal law sciences are indicated. The expediency and timeliness of combining the sciences of the anti-criminal cycle is determined in the context of the problem of the unevenness of their development, as well as contradictions between the views of supporters of various concepts of the development of these sciences.

Authors: Sokolov Aleksandr Yu.
Published: November 2022

The article considers the modern legal policy in the antimonopoly sphere in terms of the establishment and application of administrative coercion measures. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the effectiveness of the antimonopoly policy of the state depends on the state of development of administrative enforcement tools, since administrative enforcement measures provide prevention, suppression of anticompetitive actions, punishment of perpetrators. The aim is to determine the content, objectives of legal policy and factors that reduce the quality of its implementation in this direction. Strategic planning in the antimonopoly sphere is analyzed and critically evaluated, insufficient specification of prospects for improving administrative-preventive and administrative-preventive mechanisms, considered as key instruments of antimonopoly policy, is revealed.

Complementary foods are complementary foods given to infants after the age of 6 months. If complementary feeding is given too early (before the age of 6 months) it will reduce the consumption of breast milk and the baby can experience digestive disorders. On the other hand, if complementary foods are given too late, the baby will be malnourished, if it occurs for a long time. Early childhood babies are very susceptible to bacteria that cause diarrhea, especially in an environment that lacks hygiene and poor sanitation. Looking at the results , there needs to be more attention from Integrated Healthcare Center cadres in improving services, especially regarding the provision of appropriate complementary feeding.

The Effects of Institutional Transformations on the Russian Doctoral Education Performance
Authors: Bednyi B. I. , Rybakov N. V. , Zhuchkova S. V.
Published: November 2022

Currently, enhancement of doctoral education performance is becoming one of the central tasks for state policy in the field of science and education. In 2013–2015 Russian doctoral education experienced radical transformations aimed to increase the performance of doctoral programs and enhance the quality of dissertations. First, doctoral education moved towards the structured (educational) model. Second, norms and rules of the work of dissertation boards changed significantly. The purpose of this study is to explore how these reforms affected the performance of doctoral education. The empirical base for the study comprises the data on dissertations defense of graduates of 2018 at 12 Russian universities (N=1022), which were collected by the authors using the web scraping technique. The main findings obtained from the analysis of these data are threefold. First, time-to-degree has increased with most of the dissertations now being defended only after the completion of the programs. Second, in social sciences, this delay of defense has intensified abnormally (80% of dissertation in this field are defended after the program completion). Third, the actual performance, i.e., one that takes into account dissertations defended after the program completion, has decreased significantly in social sciences and humanities. These results show that the traditional practice to evaluate performance based on the proportion of graduates who defend their dissertations during the normative period of time does not reflect the reality. To made adequate managerial decisions regarding doctoral education, it is necessary to arrange the monitoring of dynamics of dissertations that are defended after the program completion both on institution and state levels.

BACKGROUND: Propofol is an anesthetic agent and can impede the progression of human diseases. Circular RNA (circRNA) circ_0003645 has been identified to promote the development of atherosclerosis (AS). This study aimed at the functional mechanism of propofol and circ_0003645 in AS. METHODS: AS cell model was established by treatment of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Cell viability or apoptosis detection was performed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry. Circ_0003645, microRNA-149-3p (miR-149-3p) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 7 (TRAF7) levels were determined by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Inflammatory cytokines were examined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Protein analysis was conducted by western blot. The interaction of miR-149-3p and circ_0003645 or TRAF7 was analyzed using dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. RESULTS: Treatment of ox-LDL inhibited cell viability and enhanced apoptosis in HUVECs to establish the AS cell model. Propofol protected against cell viability inhibition and apoptosis promotion in AS cell model. Circ_0003645 expression was downregulated by propofol in AS cell model. Propofol alleviated cell apoptosis and inflammation by decreasing the circ_0003645 level. Circ_0003645 targeted miR-149-3p, and circ_0003645/miR-149-3p axis was involved in the functional regulation of propofol. TRAF7 was the target of miR-149-3p. Inhibition of miR-149-3p affected the function of propofol by upregulating the TRAF7 expression. Circ_0003645 sponged miR-149-3p to induce the upregulation of TRAF7 following propofol treatment. CONCLUSION: It has been suggested that propofol acted as an inhibitor against the ox-LDL-induced cell injury by the circ_0003645/miR-149-3p/TRAF7 axis.

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND:

Monitoring of the macrocirculation during surgery provides limited information on the quality of organ perfusion.

OBJECTIVE:

We investigated the feasibility of perioperative microcirculatory measurements in children.

METHODS:

Sublingual microvessels were visualized by handheld videomicroscopy in 11 children (19 mo – 10 yrs) undergoing surgery > 120 min at four time points: T0) after induction of anesthesia; T1) before end of anesthesia, T2) 6 h post surgery and T3) 24 h post surgery.

RESULTS:

Measurements were feasible in all children at T0 and T1. At T2 and T3, imaging was restricted to 6 and 4 infants, respectively, due to respiratory compromise and missing cooperation. The capillary density was reduced at T1 compared to T0 (8.1 mm/mm2 [4.0-17.0] vs. 10.6 mm/mm2 [5.1-19.3]; p = 0.01), and inversely related to norepinephrine dose (Pearson r = -0.65; p = 0.04). Microvascular flow and serum glycocalyx makers Syndecan-1 and Hyaluronan increased significantly from T0 to T1.

CONCLUSION:

Perioperative microcirculatory monitoring in children requires a high amount of personal and logistic resources still limiting its routine use. Major surgery is associated with microvascular alterations and glycocalyx perturbation. The possible consequences on patient outcome need further evaluation. Efforts should concentrate on the development of next generation devices designed to facilitate microcirculatory monitoring in children.
An effective feature selection method for type 2 diabetes mellitus detection using gene expression data
Authors: Middha Karuna , Mittal Apeksha
Published: November 2022

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) detection is a chronic disease, which is caused due to the insulin disorder. Moreover, the decreased secretion of insulin increased the blood glucose level, thereby the human body cannot respond with the high glucose level. The T2DM sufferers do not produce enough insulin, or it resists insulin. The symptoms of T2DM disease are increased hunger, thirst, fatigue, frequent urination and blurred vision, and in some cases, there are no symptoms. The commonly utilized treatments of T2DM are exercise, diet, insulin therapy and medication. In this paper, the Competitive Multi-Verse Rider Optimizer (CMVRO)-based hybrid deep learning scheme is devised for T2DM detection. The hybrid deep learning involves two classifiers, such as Rider based Neural Network (RideNN) and Deep Residual Network (DRN). Moreover, the comparative analysis of T2DM detection is done by comparing various feature selection approaches, such as Tanimoto similarity, Chi square (Chi-2), Fisher Score (FS), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) for T2DM detection. Amongst these, the tanimoto similarity feature selection approach attained the better performance with respect to the testing accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 0.932, 0.932 and 0.914, correspondingly.
Goal model structuring based on semantic correlation of user reviews
Authors: Ren Shuaicai , Nakagawa Hiroyuki , Tsuchiya Tatsuhiro
Published: November 2022

User review is a crucial component of open mobile app market, such as the Google Play Store. These markets allow users to submit reviews for downloaded apps. By analyzing these reviews, app developers can find new or missing features. However, owing to the huge number of reviews, this manual process is time-consuming and unscalable. An automatic method for user review clustering and goal-model identification has been proposed. However, this method limits the numbers of sub-goals in the goal model. To address this, we propose a comprehensive user review clustering method. This method comprises two components. One is a latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model, which clusters user reviews into several topics. The other is a distance-based clustering algorithm, which is an improved version of the existing clustering method.
Functional aspect resonance matrices for fraud analysis
Authors: Yamamoto Shuichiro
Published: November 2022

As the socio technological has complex resonant relationship, the resonance coupling of functions is necessary to analyze. Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) has been used to investigate the resonance couplings by using aspects to connect each other. There have been proposed two types of matrix representations of FRAM to exhaustively analyze the coupling between functions. However, inter relationship between matrices is no been clarified. In this paper, we propose another new matrix representation of FRAM as well as compare these three types of matrix representations by using connectivity tuple notation between functions. The result shows the equivalence of FRAM matrix representations. The applicability of the proposed matrix representation to the fraud incident analysis is also clarified by a case study.
BACE2: A Promising Neuroprotective Candidate for Alzheimer’s Disease

Published: November 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia that affects millions of predominantly elderly individuals worldwide. Despite intensive research over several decades, controversies still surround the etiology of AD and the disease remains incurable. Meanwhile, new molecular players of the central amyloid cascade hypothesis have emerged and among these is a protease known as β-site APP cleavage enzyme 2 (BACE2). Unlike BACE1, BACE2 cleaves the amyloid-β protein precursor within the Aβ domain that accordingly prevents the generation of Aβ42 peptides, the aggregation of which is commonly regarded as the toxic entity that drives neurodegeneration in AD. Given this non-amyloidogenic role of BACE2, it is attractive to position BACE2 as a therapeutic target for AD. Indeed, several groups including ours have demonstrated a neuroprotective role for BACE2 in AD. In this review, we discuss emerging evidence supporting the ability of BACE2 in mitigating AD-associated pathology in various experimental systems including human pluripotent stem cell-derived cerebral organoid disease models. Alongside this, we also provide an update on the identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms occurring in the BACE2 gene that are linked to increased risk and earlier disease onset in the general population. In particular, we highlight a recently identified point mutation on BACE2 that apparently leads to sporadic early-onset AD. We believe that a better understanding of the role of BACE2 in AD would provide new insights for the development of viable therapeutic strategies for individuals with dementia.
