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.

Effects of acute prednisone administration on memory, attention and emotion in healthy human adults.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that administration of high doses of exogenous prednisone may facilitate the experience of negative emotion and shifts in frontal EEG activity, and impair some aspects of cognitive functioning in humans.

Transforming growth factor β1 and fibronectin messenger RNA in rat brain: Responses to injury and cell-type localization

TL;DR: It is suggested that microglia-macrophage associated with degenerating afferent fibres can upregulate transforming growth factor-beta 1 messenger RNA and may influence fibronectin messenger RNA synthesis in reactive astrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective expression of clusterin (SGP-2) and complement C1qB and C4 during responses to neurotoxinsin vivo andin vitro

TL;DR: Results show that elevations of clusterin messenger RNA or protein can be dissociated from each other and from cell death, and suggest that the complement system is involved in brain responses to injury.

Promoter activity of the gene encoding the beta-amyloid precursor protein is up-regulated by growth factors, phorbol ester, retinoic acid and interleukin-1.

TL;DR: It is concluded that certain growth factors and a cytokine could enhance the basal level of promoter activity of the beta APP gene, suggesting a possible participation of a growth-factor(s)-mediated transcription element in the control of gene expression of beta APP.

Brain cytokine mRNAs in anorectic rats bearing prostate adenocarcinoma tumor cells.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated mRNA profiles of feeding-modulatory cytokines and neuropeptides in specific brain regions of anorectic Lobund-Wistar rats bearing prostate adenocarcinoma tumor cells.
