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.

Rodent models of Alzheimer's disease: Rat aβ infusion approaches to amyloid deposits

TL;DR: A beta infusion models will be a useful complement to transgenic approaches to Alzheimer's pathology by allowing one to introduce A beta and other plaque-associated factors without overexpression of potentially confounding APP domains.

Glial cell-specific mechanisms of TGF-β1 induction by IL-1 in cerebral cortex

TL;DR: Results indicate that TGF-β1 may be induced by IL-1 in all glial cells of the frontal cortex, by both autocrine and paracrine mechanisms.

Brain Uptake of Circulating Apolipoproteins J and E Complexed to Alzheimer′s Amyloid β

TL;DR: It is concluded that sA beta 1-40 binding to apo J and apo E results in significant (> 100-fold) difference in brain uptake of their respective complexes, and it is hypothesize that in normal brain apoJ facilitates sAbeta transport.

Glucocorticoids induce apoptosis in human monocytes: potential role of IL-1 beta.

TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate induction of apoptosis by GC in human monocytes, and it is conceivable that GC exert their anti-inflammatory capacity in various diseases, at least in part, by the inductionof apoptosis in monocytes.

Protease nexin-1, an antithrombin with neurite outgrowth activity, is reduced in Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: It is shown that human brain contains PN-1 and that Pn-1 activity in brains of individuals with Alzheimer disease (AD) was only 14% of control values, and results suggest that the decreases in P nxin activity and free P nXin protein are due to formation of PN -1-protease complexes.
