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.

Cellular immune reactivity within the CNS

TL;DR: Using autoaggressive rat T lymphocyte lines specific for defined protein components of peripheral or central myelin to study lymphocyte migration and antigen recognition within the nervous system suggests that the nervoussystem is constantly patrolled by low numbers of activated T cells.

Role of transforming growth factor-beta in the development of the mouse embryo.

TL;DR: Using immunohistochemical methods, the role of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) in the development of the mouse embryo is investigated and its ability to control both synthesis and degradation of both structural and adhesion molecules of the extracellular matrix is discussed.

Cyclo-Oxygenase-2 Gene Expression in Neurons Contributes to Ischemic Brain Damage

TL;DR: Cerebral ischemia leads to upregulation of COX-2 message, protein, and reaction products in the injured hemisphere, and the rationale for neuroprotective strategies employing COx-2 inhibitors is provided.

Scavenger receptor-mediated adhesion of microglia to β-amyloid fibrils

TL;DR: It is reported that class A scavenger receptors mediate adhesion of rodent microglia and human monocytes to β-amyloid fibril-coated surfaces leading to secretion of reactive oxygen species and cell immobilization.

Glial‐Neuronal Interactions in Alzheimer's Disease: The Potential Role of a ‘Cytokine Cycle’ in Disease Progression

TL;DR: The hypothesis that chronic activation of glial inflammatory processes, arising from genetic or environmental insults to neurons and accompanied by chronic elaboration of neuroactive glia‐derived cytokines and other proteins, sets in motion a cytokine cycle of cellular and molecular events with neurodegenerative consequences is advanced.
