The cranial meninges: anatomic considerations.

TL;DR: A thorough discussion of the protective covering of the brain including the dura, arachnoid, and pia is provided on both gross and microscopic levels, with an attempt to include issues of clinical relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physiological basis for neuroimmunomodulation.

TL;DR: The immunomodulating role of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides and the possible endocrine functions of lymphocytes are described and it is suggested that a complete regulatory loop between immune and neuro‐endocrine systems exists.

Haemopoietic biglycan produced by brain cells stimulates growth of microglial cells.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the haemopoietic biglycan plays an important role in generating brain-specific circumstances for development of microglial/monocytic cells in the brain.

Detection of AIDS virus in macrophages in brain tissue from AIDS patients with encephalopathy.

TL;DR: The identity of an important cell type that supports replication of the AIDS retrovirus in brain tissue was determined in two affected individuals and these cells were mononucleated and multinucleated macrophages that actively synthesized viral RNA and produced progeny virions in the brains of the patients.

F4/80, a monoclonal antibody directed specifically against the mouse macrophage

TL;DR: Immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that the antigen F4/80 is part of a component of Mr 160000 which is synthesized by the MΦ and, at least in part, exposed on the cell surface.

The AIDS dementia complex: II. Neuropathology

TL;DR: The AIDS dementia complex is established as a distinct clinical and pathological entity and, together with accumulating virological evidence, suggests that it is caused by direct LAV/HTLV‐III brain infection.
