Deletion of CD14 Attenuates Alzheimer's Disease Pathology by Influencing the Brain's Inflammatory Milieu
17 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ)-containing plaques within the brain that is accompanied by a robust microglial-mediated inflammatory response. This inflammatory response is reliant upon engagement of innate immune signaling pathways involving the toll-like receptors (TLRs). Studies assessing the roles of TLRs in AD pathogenesis have yielded conflicting results. We...
