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 amyloid precursor protein mRNAs in endothelial, neuronal and glial cells: modulation by interleukin-1.

TL;DR: A role of IL-1 in the neuronal mechanisms related to beta-amyloid protein deposition in AD is suggested, as seen in neurons, glial and endothelial cells.

Characterization of microglial reaction after middle cerebral artery occlusion in rat brain

TL;DR: The demonstration of reactive microglia indicates not only imminent ischemic neuronal damage within MCA territory but can also delineate extra‐focal disturbances, possibly reflecting subtle and transitory changes in neuronal activity.

A case-control study of dementia of the alzheimer type

TL;DR: The only major difference between patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type and controls was a significantly greater occurrence of antecedent head trauma in the patients, consistent with the literature on posttraumatic dementia but its importance is presently unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complement and cytokine gene expression in cultured microglial derived from postmortem human brains.

TL;DR: The number of cases in this study was too small to permit evaluation of microglial response according to the disease state, but the results demonstrate the potential for such studies in the future.

Molecular and Cellular Characterization of the Membrane Attack Complex, C5b-9, in Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: C5b-9 is abundantly present in Alzheimer's disease cortex, associated with neurofibrillary tangle containing neurons, dystrophic neurites within neuritic plaques, and neuropil threads, but is weakly detected, if at all, in nondemented elderly cortex under the same conditions.
