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.

Local neuroinflammation and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: Much epidemiological and limited clinical evidence suggests that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may impede the onset and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, but these drugs strike at the periphery of the inflammatory reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parallel findings in age-related macular degeneration and Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Recent findings on the shared characteristics and perspectives between AMD and AD are summarized, beginning with the mechanism of Aβ deposition and including a discussion of A β-targeted therapeutic approaches for both AD and AMD.

Genome Analyses of >200,000 Individuals Identify 58 Loci for Chronic Inflammation and Highlight Pathways that Link Inflammation and Complex Disorders.

Symen Ligthart, +286 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed two genome-wide association studies (GWASs), on HapMap and 1000 Genomes imputed data, of circulating amounts of CRP by using data from 88 studies comprising 204,402 European individuals.

Rapid cognitive improvement in Alzheimer's disease following perispinal etanercept administration.

TL;DR: Rapid cognitive improvement following perispinal etanercept may be related to amelioration of the effects of excess TNF-alpha on synaptic mechanisms in Alzheimer's disease and provides a promising area for additional investigation and therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of astrocytes in amyloid production and Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Mounting evidence suggests that astrocytes may play an additional role in AD by secreting significant quantities of Aβ and contributing to overall amyloid burden in the brain.

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.
