DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours

David Capper, +171 more
- 22 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: This work presents a comprehensive approach for the DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours across all entities and age groups, and shows that the availability of this method may have a substantial impact on diagnostic precision compared to standard methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune attack: the role of inflammation in Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: As inflammation in AD primarily concerns the innate immune system — unlike in 'typical' neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and encephalitides — the concept of neuroinflammation in AD may need refinement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dendritic cells permit immune invasion of the CNS in an animal model of multiple sclerosis.

TL;DR: It is shown that APCs of the lymphoreticular system and of the CNS parenchyma are dispensable for the immune invasion of the central nervous system (CNS) and that a discrete population of vessel-associated dendritic cells (DCs) is present in human brain tissue.
