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.

Human neurons generate C-reactive protein and amyloid P: upregulation in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: It is reported that the mRNAs and proteins of both CRP and AP are concentrated in pyramidal neurons and are upregulated in affected areas of AD brain.

Chemokine and chemokine receptor expression in the central nervous system

TL;DR: The role of chemokines and their receptors in the normal and pathophysiological brain is summarized.

Chemokines/chemokine receptors in the central nervous system and Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Findings regarding the expression of chemokines and their receptors by CNS cells under physiological and pathological conditions are summarized and hypotheses on howChemokines may be involved in AD are put forward.

Synaptotrophic effects of human amyloid β protein precursors in the cortex of transgenic mice

TL;DR: It is suggested that APP may be important for the formation/maintenance of synapses in vivo and that its synaptotrophic effects may be critically dependent on the expression levels of different APP isoforms.

Effects of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist on the behavioral effects of lipopolysaccharide in rat.

TL;DR: Data indicate that the peripherally mediated effects of IL-1 account for a significant part of LPS-induced sickness behavior.
