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.

Interrelation of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Neurodegenerative Disease: Role of TNF

TL;DR: The dual role of TNF in promoting neurodegeneration and tissue regeneration via its two receptors is discussed, since stimulation via its second receptor, TNFR2, is neuroprotective and promotes tissue regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation, autotoxicity and Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of inflammatory stimulators in Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been investigated and some theoretical opportunities are suggested, based on intervention in the action of the above mentioned mediators.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Potential Role of the Curry Spice Curcumin in Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: A study of curcumin in patients with AD is performed to gather information on the bioavailability, safety and tolerability of this promising agent in the treatment and/or prevention of AD.

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.
