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.

Glucocorticoid‐ and mineralocorticoid receptors in microglial cells: The two receptors mediate differential effects of corticosteroids

TL;DR: It is suggested that GR and MR mediated the opposite effects of corticosterone on the functions of microglial cells; the hormone acted as an inhibitor through GR and as an stimulator through MR.

Reduced prevalence of AD in users of NSAIDs and H2 receptor antagonists: the Cache County study.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and histamine H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) are associated with a decreased risk of AD in late life found that use of NSAIDs and aspirin were specifically associated with reduced occurrence of AD.

Transgenic expression of IFN-alpha in the central nervous system of mice protects against lethal neurotropic viral infection but induces inflammation and neurodegeneration

TL;DR: Transgenic mice generated that produce IFN-alpha1 chronically from astrocytes developed a progressive inflammatory encephalopathy, with marked calcium mineralization, meninoencephalitis, gliosis, and neurodegeneration, suggesting that IFn-alpha overproduction may be the primary factor initiating human diseases.

Increased expression of cyclooxygenases and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma in Alzheimer's disease brains.

TL;DR: Results suggest that PPARgamma activators have inhibitory effects on inflammatory events in AD brains, and several NSAIDs, such as indomethacin, inhibited COX-2 expression in glial cells.

Trophic effect of β-amyloid precursor protein on cerebral cortical neurons in culture

TL;DR: Results suggest that secreted forms of APP have trophic activity for cerebral cortical neurons in a dose-dependent manner and with a maximum effect at approximately 100 nM.
