β-glucan-loaded nano-niosomes ameliorate spatial and associative memory impairment in a D-galactose-induced aging rat model via modulation of microglial pyroptosis and autophagy

β-glucan-loaded nano-niosomes exert neuroprotective effects through the simultaneous modulation of autophagy dysfunction and microglial-mediated inflammation, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative conditions. However, translation to human clinical practice remains uncertain and should be addressed in future studies using human-relevant models and early-phase clinical trials.
