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.

Increased central nervous system production of extracellular matrix components and development of hydrocephalus in transgenic mice overexpressing transforming growth factor-beta 1.

TL;DR: Astroglial overexpression of TGF-beta 1 consistently induced a strong upmodulation of the extracellular matrix proteins laminin and fibronectin in the CNS, but was not associated with obvious CNS infiltration by hematogenous cells.

Ischemic and Excitotoxic Brain Injury is Enhanced in Mice Lacking the p55 Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor

TL;DR: It is reported that neuronal damage after focal cerebral ischemia—reperfusion is significantly increased in mice lacking p55 receptors and that TNF plays a neuroprotective role after acute brain insults.
Journal Article

Isolation and characterization of amyloid P component from Alzheimer's disease and other types of cerebral amyloidosis.

TL;DR: The results indicate that AP from cerebral amyloidosis has similar biochemical properties and homologous amino terminal sequence to AP from systemic amyloidsosis; and AP is associated to a variety of brain amyloidal deposits regardless of their chemical nature.

IL-6 cytokine family and signal transduction: a model of the cytokine system

TL;DR: Many functional properties of the IL-6 family of cytokines and their receptors are general features of the cytokine system and its signal transduction mechanisms are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complement-dependent Proinflammatory Properties of the Alzheimer's Disease β-Peptide

TL;DR: It is reported that Aβ peptides directly and independently activate the alternative complement pathway as well as the classical complement pathway; trigger the formation of covalent, ester-linked complexes of Aβ with activation products of the third complement component (C3), and mediate formation of the proinflammatory C5b-9 membrane attack complex.
