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.

Soluble Amyloid β Peptide Concentration as a Predictor of Synaptic Change in Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: Investigation revealed that Aβ40, whether in soluble or insoluble form, was a particularly useful measure for classifying ND, HPC, and AD patients compared with Aβ42, and it was found that concentrations of soluble Aβ clearly distinguished HPC from AD patients and were a strong inverse correlate of synapse loss.

A subset of NSAIDs lower amyloidogenic Aβ42 independently of cyclooxygenase activity

TL;DR: It is reported that the NSAIDs ibuprofen, indomethacin and sulindac sulphide preferentially decrease the highly amyloidogenic Aβ42 peptide (the 42-residue isoform of the amyloids-β peptide) produced from a variety of cultured cells by as much as 80%.

Perivascular microglial cells of the CNS are bone marrow-derived and present antigen in vivo.

TL;DR: Rat bone marrow chimeras and encephalitogenic, major histocompatability--restricted T-helper lymphocytes were used to show that a subset of endogenous CNS cells, commonly termed "perivascular microglial cells," is bone marrow-derived and are fully competent to present antigen to lymphocytes in an appropriately restricted manner.

Interleukin-6 in biology and medicine

TL;DR: Application of IL-6 is promising in cancer treatment as well as in treatment of radiation- or chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression and the cell biology of the intracellular events that link transduction to gene regulation is an important area, and work on these topics helps to understand such phenomena as multifunction of IL -6 and bidirectional effects of cell growth depending on the cell type.

Identification and molecular characterization of fractalkine receptor CX3CR1, which mediates both leukocyte migration and adhesion

TL;DR: Fractalkine and CX3CR1 represent new types of leukocyte trafficking regulators, performing both adhesive and chemotactic functions.
