Abstract Activation of innate immunity and deposition of blood-derived fibrin in the central nervous system (CNS) occur in autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the mechanisms that link disruption of the blood–brain...

FGF21 attenuates neurodegeneration through modulating neuroinflammation and oxidant-stress Kai Kang, Pengfei Xu, Mengxia Wang, Jian Chunyu, Xu Sun, Guiping Ren, Wei Xiao, Deshan Li Previous studies indicate that FGF21 has ability to repair nerve injury, but the specific mechanism is less...

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-29657-y Abstract Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction is associated with worse epilepsy outcomes however the underlying molecular mechanisms of BBB dysfunction remain to be elucidated. Tight junction proteins are important regulators of BBB integrity...

Could SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Be Responsible for Long-COVID Syndrome? Theoharis C. Theoharides Laboratory of Molecular Immunopharmacology and Drug Discovery, Department of Immunology, Tufts University School of Medicine Abstract SARS-CoV-2 infects cells via its spike protein binding to its...

Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to measure the concentration and the regional brain distribution of activated brain microglia/macrophages using the PET radiopharmaceutical [F-18]DPA-714 in individuals with chronic pain and fatigue suspected to be associated with...

COVID-19 induces neuroinflammation and loss of hippocampal neurogenesis Robyn Klein, Allison Soung, Cheick Sissoko, Anna Nordvig, Peter Canoll, Madeline Mariani, Xiaoping Jiang, Traci Bricker, James Goldman, Gorazd Rosoklija, Victoria Arango, Mark Underwood, John Mann, Adrianus Boon, Andrew...

Abstract Background The tryptophan–kynurenine–nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (oxidized; NAD+) pathway is closely associated with regulation of immune cells toward less inflammatory phenotypes and may exert neuroprotective effects. Investigating its regulation in central nervous system (CNS)...

Abstract Although most patients recover from acute COVID-19, some experience postacute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (PASC). One subgroup of PASC is a syndrome called “long COVID-19,” reminiscent of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome...

Performed detailed molecular and spatial analysis of the COVID-19 brain immune response Pathognomonic microglial nodules and T cell infiltration are present in COVID-19 brains Altered microglia-T cell interactions correlate with systemic measures of inflammation Vascular leakage is linked with...

Abstract The pathophysiology of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and Q fever fatigue syndrome (QFS) remains elusive. Recent data suggest a role for neuroinflammation as defined by increased expression of translocator protein (TSPO). In the present study we investigated neuroinflammation in female...

Abstract This is a significant finding not only on the Alzheimer's front. Previously, the exact role of the immune system in early-onset Alzheimer's was unclear. Early-onset Alzheimer's is one of the diseases also showing overlaps with CFS/ME. This is one of the reasons why a differential...

Interesting review of research on the impact of inflammation on the dopamine system as well as a theoretical model and computational method trying to connect it all. Could be a hypothesis as to why Abilify and dopaminergic agents have some partial efficacy in ME, even if it is temporary (so...
