Late-life depression and risk of vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease: systematic review and meta-analysis of community-based cohort studies

TL;DR: Late-life depression is associated with an increased risk for all-cause dementia, vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and the present results suggest that it will be valuable to design clinical trials to investigate the effect of late- life depression prevention on risk of dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory Response in the CNS: Friend or Foe?

TL;DR: Altered mutual regulation of p53 protein, a major tumor suppressor, and NF-κB, the major regulator of inflammation, seems to be crucial for the shift from beneficial to detrimental effects of neuroinflammatory reactions in neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Gut Microbiome Alterations and Inflammation-Driven Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease—a Critical Review

TL;DR: The inflammatory-infectious hypothesis of AD, with the great role of the gut microbiome, starts to gently push into the shadow the amyloid cascade hypothesis that has dominated for decades.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disease-modifying properties of long-term lithium treatment for amnestic mild cognitive impairment: randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The notion that lithium has disease-modifying properties with potential clinical implications in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroprotective effects of lithium: implications for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.

TL;DR: The neurobiological properties of lithium are revisited in light of the available evidence of its neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties, and the rationale for its use in the treatment and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases is discussed.
