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.

Cyclooxygenase and inflammation in Alzheimer's disease: Experimental approaches and clinical interventions

TL;DR: New evidence that cyclooxygenase (COX) is involved in neurodegeneration along with the development of selective COX inhibitors has led to renewed interest in the therapeutic potential of NSAIDs in AD.

Phagocytosis and deposition of vascular beta-amyloid in rat brains injected with Alzheimer beta-amyloid.

TL;DR: Amyloid and lipofuscin move from the site of injection into otherwise undamaged neuropil, persist for at least 1 month and are both associated with increases in glial fibrillary acidic protein and microglia (OX-42) staining, which suggests that phagocytic cells can internalize exogenous amyloids and attempt to clear it from the central nervous system (CNS).

Microglia, scavenger receptors, and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: It is proposed that interactions of microglial scavenger receptors with fibrillar beta amyloid may stimulate the microglia to secrete apolipoprotein E and complement proteins, which may further contribute to neurotoxicity and neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease.

Macrophage phagocytosis of myelin in vitro determined by flow cytometry: phagocytosis is mediated by CR3 and induces production of tumor necrosis factor-α and nitric oxide

TL;DR: The results indicate an important role for CR3 in myelin phagocytosis in multiple sclerosis and its animal model experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and may further contribute to the overall process of demyelination during MS or EAE.

Activation of microglia in the brains of humans with heart disease and hypercholesterolemic rabbits.

TL;DR: Observations from humans and rabbits suggest that hypercholesterolemia and heart disease accelerate brain aging, and that the formation of senile plaques may be the end result of progressive microglial activation that occurs with aging.
