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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Relationship of microglia and astrocytes to amyloid deposits of Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: Electron microscopy data suggest that amyloid deposition may precede the activation of microglia and that HLA-DR-positive reactivemicroglia embedded in their core may be in intimate contact with amyloids fibrils.

Evidence That Tumor Necrosis Factor α Converting Enzyme Is Involved in Regulated α-Secretase Cleavage of the Alzheimer Amyloid Protein Precursor

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TACE (tumor necrosis factor α converting enzyme), a member of the ADAM family (a disintegrinand metalloprotease-family) of proteases, plays a central role in regulated α-cleavage of APP.

Ibuprofen Suppresses Plaque Pathology and Inflammation in a Mouse Model for Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen, which has been associated with reduced AD risk in human epidemiological studies, can significantly delay some forms of AD pathology, including amyloid deposition, when administered early in the disease course of a transgenic mouse model of AD.

Amyloid-associated proteins α 1 -antichymotrypsin and apolipoprotein E promote assembly of Alzheimer β-protein into filaments

TL;DR: It is reported that α,anti-chymotrypsin or apoE to the Aβ peptide promoted a 10- to 20-fold increase in filament formation, with apOE-4, the isoform recently linked to the development of late-onset Alzheimer's disease, showing the highest catalytic activity.

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) increases both in the brain and in the cerebrospinal fluid from parkinsonian patients

TL;DR: The results suggest that an immune response may occur in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic regions in Parkinson's disease and that TNF-alpha may be related, at least in part, to the neuronal degeneration.
