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.

Peripheral markers in testing pathophysiological hypotheses and diagnosing Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The use of peripheral tissues, particularly of cultured skin fibroblasts derived from AD patients, could complement studies of autopsy samples and provide a useful tool with which to investigate such dynamic processes as signal transduction systems, ionic homeostasis, oxidative metabolism, and APP processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Invasion of hematopoietic cells into the brain of amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice.

TL;DR: Immunological and ultrastructural phenotyping revealed that macrophages and T-cells accounted for a significant portion of these ameboid-like invading cells, suggesting that hematopoietic cells invade the brain in response to cerebral amyloidosis may hold an unrecognized therapeutic potential.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does Alzheimer's disease begin in the brainstem?

TL;DR: In this article, a novel pathogenetic scheme of Alzheimer's disease progression was proposed based on these findings of differential susceptibility and anatomical connectivity, and the authors speculated that cumulative oxidative damage may be the main cause of DRN alterations, as the age is the main risk factor for sporadic AD.

Th17 Cell-Mediated Neuroinflammation Is Involved in Neurodegeneration of Aβ1-42-Induced Alzheimer’s Disease Model Rats

TL;DR: Th17 cells, a subpopulation of CD4+ T cells with high proinflammation, participate in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration of AD by release of proinflammatory cytokines and by direct action on neurons via Fas/FasL apoptotic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seizures and Epilepsy in Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: It is concluded that the literature on seizures and epilepsy in AD, including diagnosis, risk factors, and response to treatment suffers from methodological limitations and gaps.

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.

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.
