  1. Despite growing evidence indicating the effects of cytokines, including interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNFα), and the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in Alzheimer's diseases, little is known about the signalling mechanisms that mediate its activation in response to beta-amyloid protein (Aβ).

  2. Association of interleukin-1 gene polymorphisms with Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2000-03-01 Genetics

    Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is markedly overexpressed in Alzheimer's disease.

  3. Interleukin-1 expression in different plaque types in Alzheimer's disease: significance in plaque evolution

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neuropathology and experimental neurology 1995-03-01 Risk genes beyond APOE

    The histologically apparent polymorphism of plaques containing beta-amyloid in Alzheimer's disease is thought to represent different stages in plaque evolution. beta-amyloid-immunopositive plaques were classified according to the pattern of beta-amyloid distribution (diffuse vs dense-core) and the presence or absence of dystrophic beta-amyloid precursor protein-immunopositive (beta-APP+) neurites (neuritic vs non-neuritic).
