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.

Expression of human apolipoprotein E reduces amyloid-β deposition in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that human apo E isoforms decrease Abeta aggregation or increase Abeta clearance relative to an environment in which mouse apo N or no apoE is present, rather than the other way around.

Chemokines in the CNS: plurifunctional mediators in diverse states.

TL;DR: The potential use of chemokines and their receptors as targets for therapeutic intervention in CNS disease might now have to be considered in the context of the broader physiological functions of these molecules.

Cellular forms and functions of brain microglia.

TL;DR: In their role as tissue macrophages, microglia are involved in immune responses, tissue transplantation, and AIDS dementia complex, as well as many other neurological mechanisms and diseases.

Induction of nitric oxide synthase activity in human astrocytes by interleukin-1β and interferon-γ

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the presence of an inducible form of NOS in human fetalastrocytes; human microglia, in turn, may control astrocyte NO production by providing IL-1β as an activating signal.

Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition prevents delayed death of CA1 hippocampal neurons following global ischemia.

TL;DR: Results suggest that COX2 activity contributes to CA1 neuronal death after global ischemia, and hippocampal prostaglandin E2 concentrations 24 h after global waschemia were decreased in drug-treated animals compared with vehicle-treated controls.
