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.

Complement gene expression in human brain: comparison between normal and Alzheimer disease cases

TL;DR: The expression of complement genes C1q, C3 and C4 in RNA extracted from temporal cortex samples of post-mortem human brain indicates that localized synthesis of some of the major complement components can occur in human brain.

Identification of Elastase as a Secretory Protease from Cultured Rat Microglia

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microglia secrete proteases, one of which was identified as elastase, the significance of this enzyme production in physiological and pathological conditions is discussed.

Neurons express proteins of the classical complement pathway in Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: The data suggest that pyramidal neurons may be a source of the complement components known to be associated with Alzheimer lesions and there was considerable variability between cases and between bands in a single case.

Brain injury and tumor necrosis factors induce calbindin D-28k in astrocytes: evidence for a cytoprotective response.

TL;DR: It is reported that brain injury, effected by systemic administration of the excitotoxin kainate or mechanical trauma, induces expression of calbindin in cells of the corpus callosum and subcortical white matter.

Mapping Histology to Metabolism: Coregistration of Stained Whole-Brain Sections to Premortem PET in Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: The poor correlation between NFT staining density and hypometabolism on FDG-PET implicates alternate mechanisms underlying the metabolic defect in AD.
