About the e-Class

Neuroinflammation is an immune response activated by glial cells in the central nervous system, usually occurring in response to stimuli such as nerve injury, infection, and toxins, or under the effects of autoimmunity. Neuroinflammation is closely associated with the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and multiple sclerosis. Recent studies have found that neuroinflammation has become the third major pathological feature of AD after amyloid-β deposition and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), and inflammatory response plays a key role in the occurrence and development of AD.
