## Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves a significant inflammatory component as evidenced by the presence of elevated levels of a diverse range of proinflammatory molecules in the AD brain. These inflammatory molecules are produced principally by activated microglia, which are
The causes of neuronal dysfunction and degeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are not fully understood, but increased production of neurotoxic forms of amyloid b-peptide-42 (Ab42) seems of major importance. Large extracellular deposits of aggregated Ab42 (plaques) is a diagnostic feature of AD, bu
