In species that regenerate the injured spinal cord, the ependymal region is a source of new cells and a prominent coordinator of regeneration. In mammals, cells at the ependymal region proliferate in normal conditions and react after injury, but in ...

Regulatory T cells decrease C3-positive reactive astrocytes in Alzheimer-like pathology
Background Increasing evidence supports a key role for peripheral immune processes in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), highlighting an intricate interplay between brain resident glial cells and both innate and adaptive peripheral immune ...

PPARs in Neuroinflammation [PDF]
Welcome to this special issue of PPAR Research dedicated to “PPARs in Neuroinflammation.” The central nervous system (CNS) was once thought to be an immune-privileged site void of significant inflammation. However, it is now clear that activated peripheral immune cells are capable or entering and functioning within the CNS. In addition, resident immune

ApoE is the major lipid and cholesterol carrier in the CNS. There are three major human polymorphisms, apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4, and the genetic expression of APOE4 is one of the most influential risk factors for the development of late-onset Alzheimer's ...

Neuroinflammation in Friedreich’s Ataxia
Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene frataxin, encoding for a mitochondrial protein involved in iron handling and in the biogenesis of iron−sulphur clusters, and leading to progressive nervous system damage.

Estrogens, Neuroinflammation, and Neurodegeneration [PDF]
Inflammatory activation of microglia is a hallmark of several disorders of the central nervous system. In addition to protecting the brain against inflammatory insults, microglia are neuroprotective and play a significant role in maintaining neuronal connectivity, but the prolongation of an inflammatory status may limit the beneficial functions of ...

Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Increasing evidence suggests that Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis is not restricted to the neuronal compartment, but includes strong interactions with immunological mechanisms in the brain. Misfolded and aggregated proteins bind to pattern recognition receptors on microglia and astroglia, and trigger an innate immune response characterised by release ...

Background The risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is modulated by genetic and environmental factors. Early-life stress (ELS) exposure during critical periods of brain development can impact later brain function and health, including increasing ...
