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.

Immune system associated antigens expressed by cells of the human central nervous system.

TL;DR: Using unfixed tissue and free-floating immunohistochemistry, profuse immunoreactivity is shown for these immune antigens in white and gray matter samples from normal and Alzheimer's disease patients.

gp130, a Shared Signal Transducing Receptor Component for Hematopoietic and Neuropoietic Cytokines

TL;DR: Most of the receptors for soluble factors functioning in the hematopoietic system belong to the class I cytokine receptor family, and these receptors often share common signal transducing receptor components in the same family, which explains the functional redundancy of cytokines.
Journal ArticleDOI

AIDS and the brain: is there a chemokine connection?

TL;DR: The existence of chemokine receptors on neurons suggests that chemokines might regulate neuronal functions physiologically and the importance of this direct interaction with neurons in vivo and its relevance in the pathogenesis of AIDS-related dementia still needs to be established.

Interleukin-8 receptor B immunoreactivity in brain and neuritic plaques of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: The results demonstrate for the first time IL-8RB immunoreactivity in the central nervous system and imply a new role for this receptor outside the hematopoietic system.

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 gene expression by glial cells. Differential mechanisms of inhibition by IL-10 and IL-6.

TL;DR: The results suggest that IL-10 affects ICAM-1 expression at the translational and/or post-translational level, and bothIL-10 and IL-6 can inhibit ICAM -1 expression by glial cells, although they do so by contrasting mechanisms.
