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.

Inflammatory Mechanisms in Alzheimer's Disease: Inhibition of β-Amyloid-Stimulated Proinflammatory Responses and Neurotoxicity by PPARγ Agonists

TL;DR: The efficacy of NSAIDs in the treatment of AD may be a consequence of their actions on PPARγ rather than on their canonical targets the cyclooxygenases, and the efficacy of these agents in inhibiting a broad range of inflammatory responses suggestsPPARγ agonists may provide a novel therapeutic approach to AD.

Inverse association of anti‐inflammatory treatments and Alzheimer's disease: Initial results of a co‐twin control study

TL;DR: AIs have been proposed as a means of retarding the progression of AD symptoms, and these data suggest that AIs may also prevent or delay the initial onset ofAD symptoms.

Apolipoprotein E Type 4 Allele and Cerebral Glucose Metabolism in Relatives at Risk for Familial Alzheimer Disease

TL;DR: The inheritance of APOE epsilon 4 is associated with reduced cerebral parietal metabolism and increased asymmetry in non-demented relatives at risk for probable AD, and glucose metabolic measures provide a means to monitor experimental treatment responses during the early phases of the disorder.

Nitric oxide synthase and neuronal vulnerability in parkinson's disease

TL;DR: A potentially deleterious role of glial cells producing excessive levels of nitric oxide in Parkinson's disease, which may be neurotoxic for a subpopulation of dopaminergic neurons, especially those not expressing NADPH-diaphorase activity.

Interleukin 1 regulates synthesis of amyloid beta-protein precursor mRNA in human endothelial cells.

TL;DR: It is suggested that IL-1 upregulates APP gene expression in HUVEC through a pathway mediated by protein kinase C, utilizing the upstream AP-1 binding site of the APP promoter.
