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.

Inflammatory markers in AD and MCI patients with different biomarker profiles.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that inflammatory processes might be involved in early stages of AD, even before Abeta and tau changes are present in CSF of MCI patients.

Clinical aspects of inflammation in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Central nervous system inflammation may predate the development of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in AD and may prove to be a more sensitive marker of prodromal AD.

Inflammation occurs early during the Aβ deposition process in TgCRND8 mice

TL;DR: The early kinetics of brain amyloid deposition and its associated inflammation in an early onset transgenic mouse model of AD (TgCRND8) harboring the human amyloids precursor protein gene with the Indiana and Swedish mutations are reported.
Journal Article

Immune processes in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease - a potential role for microglia and nitric oxide.

TL;DR: Inflammation initiated by neuronal damage in the striatum and the substantia nigra in PD may aggravate the course of the disease, and treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs may act to slow progression of PD.

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.

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.

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.

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.
