Inflammation and Alzheimer's disease.

TLDR
By better understanding AD inflammatory and immunoregulatory processes, it should be possible to develop anti-inflammatory approaches that may not cure AD but will likely help slow the progression or delay the onset of this devastating disorder.

Chronic brain inflammation results in cell loss in the entorhinal cortex and impaired LTP in perforant path-granule cell synapses.

TL;DR: Chronic neuroinflammation produced by chronic infusion of lipopolysaccharide into the fourth ventricle for 4 weeks upon the induction and maintenance of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, a well-characterized model of cellular synaptic plasticity results in the loss of pyramidal cells within layers II and III of the entorhinal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Positron emission tomography imaging of neuroinflammation.

TL;DR: A profile of active disease emerges that matches some of the typical distribution patterns known from structural neuroimaging techniques, but additionally shows involvement of brain regions linked through neural pathways, in the context of cell-based in vivo neuropathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Active invasion of Porphyromonas gingivalis and infection-induced complement activation in ApoE-/- mice brains.

TL;DR: Results show that the oral pathogen P. gingivalis was able to access the ApoE-/- mice brain and thereby contributed to complement activation with bystander neuronal injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for systemic immune system alterations in sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sALS)

TL;DR: In this article, the degree of activation was directly related to the rate of sALS disease progression and other parameters of T-cell activation and immune globulin levels showed similar disease associated changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amyloid β-peptide1–42 alters tight junction protein distribution and expression in brain microvessel endothelial cells

TL;DR: It is suggested that Aβ 1–42 effects on tight junction protein complexes may alter blood–brain barrier integrity and contribute to the neuropathological sequelae of Alzheimer's disease.

Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis as a mechanism of action for aspirin-like drugs

TL;DR: Experiments with guinea-pig lung suggest that some of the therapeutic effects of sodium salicylate and aspirin-like drugs are due to inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins.
Journal ArticleDOI

TGF-beta signal transduction.

TL;DR: The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family of growth factors control the development and homeostasis of most tissues in metazoan organisms and mutations in these pathways are the cause of various forms of human cancer and developmental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

An endotoxin-induced serum factor that causes necrosis of tumors

TL;DR: It is proposed that TNF mediates endotoxin-induced tumor necrosis, and that it may be responsible for the suppression of transformed cells by activated macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokines — Chemotactic Cytokines That Mediate Inflammation

TL;DR: This review introduces the burgeoning family of cytokines, with special emphasis on their role in the pathophysiology of disease and their potential as targets for therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Antidiabetic Thiazolidinedione Is a High Affinity Ligand for Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ (PPARγ)

TL;DR: It is reported that thiazolidinediones are potent and selective activators of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily recently shown to function in adipogenesis, and raised the intriguing possibility that PPARγ is a target for the therapeutic actions of this class of compounds.
