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.

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.

Enhanced expression of transforming growth factor β1 in the rat brain after a localized cerebral injury

TL;DR: A role is suggested for TGF beta 1, not only in inflammation, but also in the tissue-specific glial scar formation that occurs in the CNS to help limit the pathogenesis associated with matrix deposition in the wound.

Two distinct and independent sites on IL-6 trigger gp 130 dimer formation and signalling.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that both the site 2 and site 3 IL‐ 6 variants complexed with IL‐6R alpha bind a single gp130 molecule but are unable to dimerize it, whereas the combined site 2/3 variants lose the ability to interact with gp130.

Identification of monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 in senile plaques and reactive microglia of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that MCP‐1‐related inflammatory events induced by reactive microglia contribute to the maturation of senile plaques.

Down patients: extracellular preamyloid deposits precede neuritic degeneration and senile plaques.

TL;DR: Age-related analysis of the cortical lesions in Down patients suggested that such extracellular deposits precede degenerating neurites and evolve into senile plaques, and anti-SP28 found these deposits were similar to those observed in the cerebral cortex of Alzheimer patients and non-demented individuals.
