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.

Cellular localization of tumor necrosis factor alpha following focal cerebral ischemia in mice

TL;DR: The presence of TNFalpha immunoreactivity in neurons and nerve fibers following MCAO suggests that TNF Alpha expressed in ischemic neurons might be delivered via axonal transport, while TNF alpha immunore activity in astrocyte end-feet and ependymal cells following M CAO suggests That TNFAlpha may be involved in blood-brain barrier disruption and the initiation of inflammation in the brain.

Propentofylline in the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease and Vascular Dementia: A Review of Phase III Trials

TL;DR: Results from a drug withdrawal study suggested that propentofylline does not merely relieve dementia symptoms but slows the progression of the disease itself, and was found to provide consistent improvements over placebo in efficacy assessments for both AD and VaD patients.

Production and secretion of plasminogen in cultured rat brain microglia.

TL;DR: Results show that cultured microglia produce plasminogen and secrete it into the culture medium and that the plasmine detected in microglial conditioned medium is synthesized inmicroglia.

Neural functions of the transforming growth factors β

TL;DR: TGF-13s are potent neuroprotective agents that govern early steps in morphogenesis and phenotypic decisions and regulate astroglial cell proliferation and phenotype.
