Galectin-3 regulates microglial activation and promotes inflammation through TLR4/MyD88/NF-kB in experimental autoimmune uveitis.

TL;DR: In this article , the effect and mechanism of Galectin-3 on microglial activation and inflammation of experimental uveitis (EAU) was investigated and the specific inhibitor was intravitreally injected in EAU mice.

Sex differences in the blood–brain barrier: Implications for mental health

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide an overview of sex-specific immune, endocrine, vascular and transcriptional mediated changes that could affect neurovascular integrity and possibly contribute to the pathogenesis of mental disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglial Inflammatory-Metabolic Pathways and Their Potential Therapeutic Implication in Major Depressive Disorder

TL;DR: Various canonical pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory and metabolic pathways in microglia that may provide new therapeutic opportunities to control neuroinflammation in brain disorders are reviewed, with a strong focus on MDD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Emerging Role of Central and Peripheral Immune Systems in Neurodegenerative Diseases

TL;DR: This review highlights the emerging role of the peripheral and central immune systems in neurodegenerative diseases, as well as their interactions, and suggests that a better understanding of the emerging roles of the immune systems may improve therapeutic strategies for neurodegenersative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunomodulatory effect of protocatechuic acid on cyclophosphamide induced brain injury in rat: Modulation of inflammosomes NLRP3 and SIRT1.

TL;DR: In this article , the immunomodulatory effect of protocatechuic acid on cyclophosphamide chemotherapy drug-induced brain injury via modulation of inflammosomes NLRP3 and SIRT1 was studied.

From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain

TL;DR: In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour, which can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resting Microglial Cells Are Highly Dynamic Surveillants of Brain Parenchyma in Vivo

TL;DR: Using in vivo two-photon imaging in neocortex, it is found that microglial cells are highly active in their presumed resting state, continually surveying their microenvironment with extremely motile processes and protrusions.

A Meta-Analysis of Cytokines in Major Depression

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies measuring cytokine concentration in patients with major depression reports significantly higher concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 in depressed subjects compared with control subjects, strengthening evidence that depression is accompanied by activation of the IRS.

- 01 Dec 2013 - 
TL;DR: In addition to the APOE locus (encoding apolipoprotein E), 19 loci reached genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10−8) in the combined stage 1 and stage 2 analysis, of which 11 are newly associated with Alzheimer's disease.
