Research into inflammatory mechanisms that may cause damage to the
Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain has now been ongoing for nearly two
decades. Some two dozen clinical studies have strongly suggested
that conventional anti-inflammatory drugs may be useful to delay
the onset or slow the progression of the disorder. Moreover,
virtually all the major systems of the innate immune response
appear to be present, and most are upregulated, in
pathologically-vulnerable regions of the AD brain. These new
findings are described in this volume - first in overview form,
followed by chapters on topics of special interest. In many ways,
to understand AD brain inflammation, one need only review a text on
peripheral inflammation biology, leaving out the chapters on
humoral medi ators and substituting microglia for macrophages. In
several other key respects, however, AD brain inflammation is
unique, due primarily to idiosyncratic interac tions of
inflammatory mediators and mechanisms with classical AD pathology:
amyloid ~ peptide(A~) deposits and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs).
For this reason, some key concepts about the inflammation that
occurs in AD may warrant discus sion in preparation for the more
detailed chapters that follow.
