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.

Cyclo-oxygenase-2 Messenger RNA Induction in Focal Cerebral Ischemia

TL;DR: The demonstration of COX-2 induction following experimental ischemia highlights the importance of this reaction and its products and by-products, for example, free radicals, in the tissue response to this insult.

Cytokines regulate expression of the type 1 interleukin-1 receptor in rat hippocampal neurons and glia

TL;DR: The expression of IL-1R1 in hippocampal neurons suggests a possible role forIL-1 in regulating neuronal function, and indicates that these neurons may be directly influenced by cytokines.

Chemical adrenalectomy reduces hippocampal damage induced by kainic acid

TL;DR: It is shown that metyrapone, which is used safely and efficaciously in other clinical contexts, might prove protective of the brain following seizure in the human, and may protect the human hippocampus after similar neurological insults.

Sulindac sulfide inhibits Ras signaling

TL;DR: It is found that sulindac sulfide strongly inhibits Ras induced malignant transformation and Ras/Raf dependent transactivation and is proposed as a lead compound in the search for novel anti-cancer drugs which directly inhibit Ras mediated cell proliferation and malignant Transformation.
