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.

The Molecular and Cellular Biology of Wound Repair

TL;DR: The book begins with a thoughtful synopsis on wound repair that has been alive, growing, and maturing for more than 10 years and sets the organizational tone for the rest of the book.

Decreased soluble interleukin-6 receptor in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Cerebrospinal fluid sIL-6R concentrations in patients with Alzheimer's disease compared to age-matched healthy subjects and individuals with at least one first degree relative with AD are investigated.

Expression of complement C4 and C9 genes by human astrocytes

TL;DR: It was shown that primary human astrocytes constitutively expressed complement C4 mRNA and protein, and that this was increased when cells are treated with interferon-gamma, but inhibited when cells were treated with Interleukin-1beta (IL-1 beta).

Proteolytic Degradation of Alzheimer's Disease Amyloid β‐Peptide by a Metalloproteinase from Microglia Cells

TL;DR: It is concluded that activated microglia cells might impair amyloid plaque formation by release of a metalloprotease that degrades soluble Aβ before polymerization.

Polyribonucleotides induce nitric oxide production by human monocyte-derived macrophages.

TL;DR: The use of Poly I:C to initiate NO production in human macrophages provides a useful tool to study the differences between the commonly used animal models and human cells and may provide insight into the pathophysiological significance of these differences.
