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 component C1q modulates the phagocytosis of Abeta by microglia.

TL;DR: Mechanisms which interfere with the binding of C1q to Abeta may be of therapeutic value both through inhibition of the inflammatory events resulting from complement activation and via altered access of Abeta sites necessary for ingestion by microglia.

Microglial activation in early stages of amyloid beta protein deposition.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that microglial reactions are absent in the early stages of Aβ deposition, and it occurs during the transition from diffuse to primitive plaques, when amounts of A β deposits and the degree of neuritic changes increase.

Immunohistochemical localization of vitronectin, its receptor and beta-3 integrin in Alzheimer brain tissue

TL;DR: The results indicate that the vitronectin receptor of microglia is associated with a beta-chain different from beta 3, but that beta 3 is expressed by some platelets in brain capillaries.

Demonstration of CRP immunoreactivity in brains of Alzheimer's disease: immunohistochemical study using formic acid pretreatment of tissue sections

TL;DR: Positive immunostaining by anti-CRP antibodies was clearly recognized in senile plaques (SP) in the pretreated tissue sections, with very weak Immunostaining in non-treated sections, which may suggest that the formation process of SP includes an acute-phase inflammatory state.

Interleukin-6 as a neurotrophic factor for promoting the survival of cultured catecholaminergic neurons in a chemically defined medium from fetal and postnatal rat midbrains.

TL;DR: Interleukin-6 (IL-6, human recombinant) promoted the survival of catecholaminergic neurons from fetal and postnatal rat midbrains as assessed by an immunohistochemical staining for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in culture using a chemically defined medium.
