It is the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, and cases are rising exponentially. Characteristic hallmarks of PD ... -
Role of interleukin-4 in regulation of age-related inflammatory changes in the hippocampus.
(The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2005)It is well documented that long term potentiation (LTP) is impaired in the hippocampus of the aged animal. Among the changes that contribute to this impairment is an increase in hippocampal concentration of the pro-inflammatory ... -
Whole-cell but not acellular pertussis vaccines induce convulsive activity in mice: evidence of a role for toxin-induced interleukin-1 beta in a new murine model for analysis of neuronal side effects of vaccination
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001)Immunization with the whole-cell pertussis vaccine (Pw), while effective at preventing whooping cough in infants, has been associated with local, systemic, and neuronal reactions, including fevers and convulsions in children. ...
