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.

A serum- and glucocorticoid-regulated 4-kilobase mRNA encodes a cyclooxygenase-related protein.

TL;DR: In analyzing the glucocorticoid effects on PGHS synthesis in C127 mouse fibroblasts, a novel 4-kilobase mRNA is detected that is related to a PGHS cDNA cloned from an ovine seminal vesicle library and encodes a 70-kDa protein that is specifically immunoprecipitated by anti-PGHS serum.

Synergistic Effects of Traumatic Head Injury and Apolipoprotein-epsilon4 in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The data imply that the biological effects of head injury may increase the risk of AD, but only through a synergistic relationship with apolipoprotein-epsilon4.

Recombinant interleukin-6 activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in humans.

TL;DR: The ability of recombinant IL-6 to stimulate the human HPA axis in patients with cancer and a good performance status, who received daily morning sc injections of 30 micrograms/kg IL- 6 for 7 consecutive days, was evaluated.

Cholinergic agonists and interleukin 1 regulate processing and secretion of the Alzheimer beta/A4 amyloid protein precursor.

TL;DR: Acetylcholine and interleukin 1, which are altered in Alzheimer disease, were shown to increase processing of the beta/A4 amyloid protein precursor via the secretory cleavage pathway.

Tumor Necrosis Factor Induces Bcl-2 and Bcl-x Expression through NFκB Activation in Primary Hippocampal Neurons

TL;DR: Findings indicate that induction of Bcl-2 and B cl-x expression through NFκB activation is involved in the neuroprotective action of TNF against hypoxia- or nitric oxide-induced injury.
