Retinal biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease: insights from transgenic mouse models [PDF]
In this paper, we use the retina as a window into the central nervous system and in particular to assess changes in the retinal tissue associated with the Alzheimer’s disease.

Central Nervous System Viral Diseases
The nervous system has multiple intrinsic defenses against viral infection, including the blood–brain barrier. Yet, the postmitotic nature of neurons creates a uniquely vulnerable environment susceptible to irreversible damage. Various viruses can infect the different cell types within the central nervous system, neurons, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes ...

Day/night variations of myeloid and lymphoid cell subsets in the murine inguinal lymph node
The circadian system is involved in the temporal regulation of the immune system. Our study reveals that two innate immune populations, NKT cells and neutrophils, predominate at the beginning of the day in healthy mice, highlighting how the time of day influences immune responses.

Psychiatric Presentation of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: A Case Study [PDF]
Creutefeldt-Jakob disease is a fatal degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. The variability of its prodromal psychiatric and neurologic manifestation often obscures the diagnosis. This paper reports a case that illustrates the complexity of

Pathogenic Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene variants in tumors of non‐NF1 patients and role of R1276
Somatic variants of the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene occur across neoplasms without clinical manifestation of the disease NF1. We identified emerging somatic pathogenic NF1 variants and hotspots, for example, at the arginine finger 1276. Those missense variants provide fundamental information about neurofibromin's role in cancer.

Systemic and central nervous system metabolic alterations in Alzheimer’s disease
Background Metabolic alterations, related to cerebral glucose metabolism, brain insulin resistance, and age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, play an important role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on both the systemic and central nervous system level.
