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.

Enhancement of beta-amyloid precursor protein transcription and expression by the soluble interleukin-6 receptor/interleukin-6 complex

TL;DR: Analysis of mRNA transcripts from human cortical brain tissue and cell cultures derived from fetal human brain demonstrated the presence of an alternatively spliced secreted form of the IL-6 receptor mRNA, suggesting that cells of the central nervous system may themselves be a source of sIL-6R protein.

A case‐control study of Alzheimer's disease in China

TL;DR: Data support the role of familial/genetic factors in AD, and a history of arthritis showed a significantly negative association with AD.

Cortisol Secretion and Alzheimer’s Disease Progression

TL;DR: Hypercortisolemia in AD appears related to the clinical progression of the disease, but not to aging or length of survival, according to an original cohort of 19 enrollees.
