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.

Mitochondrial DNA deletions in human brain: regional variability and increase with advanced age.

TL;DR: Changes in the accumulation of the common 4977 nucleotide pair (np) deletion in the cortex, putamen and cerebellum suggest that somatic mtDNA deletions might contribute to the neurological impairment often associated with ageing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglia and cytokines in neurological disease, with special reference to AIDS and Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The results suggest that microglial activation in AD may be secondary to neurodegeneration and that, once activated, microglia may participate in a local inflammatory cascade that promotes tissue damage and contributes to amyloid formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 1 of the central nervous system is produced by ameboid microglia.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the proliferation of astroglia in specific brain regions may be regulated by the signaled release of IL-1 from activated microglial cells.

MR-based hippocampal volumetry in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: The contention that MR-based HF volumetric measurements are accurate in differentiating DAT patients from cognitively normal elderly individuals may be a useful adjunct in making the clinical diagnosis of DAT.
