Early intraneuronal amyloid triggers neuron-derived inflammatory signaling in APP transgenic rats and human brain

Abstract excerpt

Chronic inflammation during Alzheimer's disease (AD) is most often attributed to sustained microglial activation in response to amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque deposits and cell death. However, cytokine release and microgliosis are consistently observed in AD transgenic animal models devoid of such pathologies, bringing into question the underlying processes that may be at play during the earliest AD-related immune...
