TLDR
Examination of expression levels of various inflammatory and oxidative stress markers in pre-symptomatic and diseased APP/PS1KI mice added further evidence to the assumption that inflammatory processes are tightly associated with axonal degeneration and neuron loss, as is evident in the APP/ PS1KI mouse model.

Reduced IGF-1 Signaling Delays Age-Associated Proteotoxicity in Mice

TL;DR: It is found that delayed aging by IIS reduction protects the nematode C. elegans from toxicity associated with the aggregation of the Alzheimer's disease-linked human peptide, Aβ, and this indicates that the IGF signaling-regulated mechanism that protects from Aβ toxicity is conserved from worms to mammals.

Microglia, neuroinflammation, and beta-amyloid protein in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: In this article, the dual roles of microglia in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) were investigated and it was shown that microglias are involved in AD pathogenesis.

High-fat diet aggravates amyloid-beta and tau pathologies in the 3xTg-AD mouse model.

TL;DR: Low n-3:n-6 PUFA intake ratio increased insoluble tau regardless of total fat consumption, whereas high-fat diet incorporating a low n- 3: n-n- 6 PUFA ratio also increased soluble tau compared to controls.

Contribution of systemic inflammation to chronic neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: The normal homeostatic role that microglia play in signalling about systemic infections and inflammation becomes maladaptive in the aged and diseased brain and this offers a route to therapeutic intervention.

Relative expression software tool (REST©) for group-wise comparison and statistical analysis of relative expression results in real-time PCR

TL;DR: Development and application of REST is explained, the usefulness of relative expression in real-time PCR using REST is discussed and the mathematical model used is based on the PCR efficiencies and the mean crossing point deviation between the sample and control group.

Reactive microglia are positive for HLA‐DR in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease brains

TL;DR: The detected large numbers of HLA-DR-positive reactive microglia (macrophages) in the substantia nigra of all cases studied with Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism and suggest a frequent coexistence of DAT- and Parkinson-type pathology in elderly patients.

Axonopathy and transport deficits early in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Reductions in microtubule-dependent transport may stimulate proteolytic processing of β-amyloid precursor protein, resulting in the development of senile plaques and Alzheimer's disease.

Microglia Initiate Central Nervous System Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses through Multiple TLRs

TL;DR: Mouse microglia express mRNA for all of the recently identified TLRs, TLR1–9, used for recognition of bacterial and viral molecular patterns, and appear to be a unique and important component of both the innate and adaptive immune response, providing the CNS with a means to rapidly and efficiently respond to a wide variety of pathogens.

The pathogenesis of senile plaques

TL;DR: Control the local inflammatory microenvironment of SP may hold promise for slowing lesion pathogenesis, but it still remains a fundamental challenge to determine the mechanism of neurodegeneration that results in widespread neurofibrillary degeneration and eventual synaptic and neuronal loss.
