Onset and Progression in Inherited ALS Determined by Motor Neurons and Microglia

TL;DR: Onset and progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis represent distinct disease phases defined by mutant action within different cell types to generate non–cell-autonomous killing of motor neurons; these findings validate therapies, including cell replacement, targeted to the non-neuronal cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uncoupling the Proinflammatory from the Immunosuppressive Properties of Tumor Necrosis Factor (Tnf) at the P55 TNF Receptor Level Implications for Pathogenesis and Therapy of Autoimmune Demyelination

TL;DR: A dual role for TNF is revealed in this study in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a mouse model for MS, and blocking the function of the p55 TNFR in autoimmune demyelination may inhibit the noxious proinflammatory activities of TNF without compromising its immunosuppressive properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oligodendrocyte Apoptosis and Primary Demyelination Induced by Local TNF/p55TNF Receptor Signaling in the Central Nervous System of Transgenic Mice: Models for Multiple Sclerosis with Primary Oligodendrogliopathy

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aberrant local TNF/p55TNF receptor signaling in the central nervous system can have a potentially major role in the aetiopathogenesis of MS demyelination, particularly in MS subtypes in which oligodendrocyte death is a primary pathological feature.
