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.

LDL receptor-related protein, a multifunctional ApoE receptor, binds secreted beta-amyloid precursor protein and mediates its degradation.

TL;DR: It is shown that the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) is responsible for the endocytosis of secreted APP and this data link in a single metabolic pathway two molecules strongly implicated in the pathophysiology of AD.

Aging renders the brain vulnerable to amyloid beta-protein neurotoxicity.

TL;DR: This article showed that microinjection of plaque-equivalent concentrations of fibrillar, but not soluble, Abeta in the aged rhesus monkey cerebral cortex results in profound neuronal loss, tau phosphorylation and microglial proliferation.

An important role for the chemokine macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha in the pathogenesis of the T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that MIP-1 alpha plays an important role in directing the chemoattraction of mononuclear inflammatory cells in the T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, EAE.

Myeloperoxidase-generated reactive nitrogen species convert LDL into an atherogenic form in vitro

TL;DR: Results identify MPO-generated reactive nitrogen species as a physiologically plausible pathway for converting LDL into an atherogenic form.
