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.

Structural and functional features of central nervous system lymphatic vessels

TL;DR: In searching for T-cell gateways into and out of the meninges, functional lymphatic vessels lining the dural sinuses are discovered, which may call for a reassessment of basic assumptions in neuroimmunology and sheds new light on the aetiology of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases associated with immune system dysfunction.

Mechanisms underlying inflammation in neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: There is evidence for a remarkable convergence in the mechanisms responsible for the sensing, transduction, and amplification of inflammatory processes that result in the production of neurotoxic mediators in neurodegenerative diseases.

COX-2 inhibitors

TL;DR: The demonstration that inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis via a cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme was central to both the therapeutic and toxic effects of aspirin and non-aspirin NSAIDs appeared to establish the principle of no gain without pain, but this link may have been broken by drugs that selectively inhibit the inducible COX-2 enzyme.

Cytotoxicity of microglia

TL;DR: Interference with the microglial activation or the productions of cytotoxic metabolites by microglia may offer new therapeutic opportunities for the prevention of neuronal cell death in CNS disease.

Transglutaminases: multifunctional cross-linking enzymes that stabilize tissues.

TL;DR: The amino acid sequences of factor XIII, TGC, and TGK establish them as a homologous gene family and also reveal a striking homology to the erythrocyte membrane protein, band 4.2.

Adult neurogenesis is regulated by adrenal steroids in the dentate gyrus

TL;DR: The results indicate that the rate of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the adult rat is dependent upon the levels of circulating adrenal steroids.

Clinical trial of indomethacin in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Indomethacin appeared to protect mild to moderately impaired Alzheimer's disease patients from the degree of cognitive decline exhibited by a well-matched, placebo-treated group.
