Neuroinflammation is a burgeoning area of interest in academia and biopharma, with a broadly acknowledged role in many central nervous system (CNS) disorders. However, there is little agreement on the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie the manifestations of neuroinflammation in the CNS compartment and how neuroinflammation operates as a driver and also as a consequence of disease in the brain. Moreover, another unclear area is how to translate increased understanding of the mechanisms that underlie neuroinflammation and its manifestations in the CNS to therapeutics. To address these gaps in understanding mechanisms and how to translate that understanding into therapeutics, the Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop on March 20-21, 2017, bringing together key leaders in the field from industry, academia, and governmental agencies to explore the role and mechanisms of neuroinflammation in a variety of CNS diseases. The workshop also considered strategies to advance the identification and validation of biomarkers of neuroinflammation that could accelerate development of therapies, bringing much-needed treatments to patients with disorders ranging from neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) to neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
Due to injuries sustained in sports and in combat, interest in traumatic brain injury (TBI) has never been greater. This book will fulfill a gap in understanding of what is occurring in the brain following injury that can subsequently be detected in biological fluids and imaging.
This book explores the recent advances in the techniques and platforms used in biomarker research that have revolutionized the way we study, diagnose, and treat brain injury conditions. The contributors describe different biomarker studies pertaining to brain injury and other neurological disorders and analyze the different models and technologies used to identify these biological markers. The book includes findings from "Omics research" that have been utilized to decipher and identify such biomarkers. It discusses protein, microRNA, and altered gene profiles and reviews neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and prion and Alzheimer’s disease.
This volume presents recent data on the latest achievements in new and emerging technologies for biomarkers and for innovations in their assessment. The chapters cover topics such as activation of microglia and macrophages in neurodegenerative diseases; oxidative stress and cellular dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases; TSPO PET imaging as a biomarker of neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disorders; and imaging biomarkers in Huntington's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Neurodegenerative Diseases Biomarkers: Towards Translating Research to Clinical Practice is a valuable resource for both experimental and clinical experts in the field of neurodegenerative diseases who are looking to expand their knowledge of novel biomarkers in different types of neurodegenerative diseases.
Inflammation is a central mechanism in many neurological diseases, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, and brain trauma as well as meningitis and contributes to the generation of pain. We are now beginning to understand the impact of the immune system on different nervous system functions and diseases, ranging from damage through tolerance to modulation and repair.This book discusses some of the more common neuro-inflammatory diseases. Topics covered include multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis and Susac syndrome. Comprehensive review of the latest developments in neuroinflammation Includes contributions from leading authorities

Despite decades of research, Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains poorly understood and without effective treatment or prevention. The presence of amyloid beta and tau pathology together is thought to result in neurodegeneration, or the loss of synapses and neurons, but the mechanism by which the two interact to produce this neurodegeneration is unknown. Recent data suggest an interplay between inflammation and iron dysregulation in the pathogenesis of AD that may be a key component of AD pathology. Most of this work, however, has lacked the simultaneous analysis of iron, inflammation, and hallmark AD pathology, necessary to elucidate the mechanistic link between iron and neurodegeneration in AD. To address this gap and deliver iron as a biomarker for AD, we have developed a novel, multimodal ex vivo imaging pipeline, integrating novel correlative MR-histology tools with advanced microscopy, including electron microscopy and x-ray microscopy techniques, to interrogate iron deposition and oxidation state in human brain tissue in situ. We have additionally implemented a novel prospective motion correction system for high-field MRI to enable ultra-high-resolution human brain imaging and facilitate the translation of our ex vivo findings to the patient setting. While the initial application of these tools has been to validate iron as a biomarker of neuroinflammation in AD, we have developed a broadly applicable set of imaging tools with the potential to molecularly validate and translate MRI-based biomarkers across tissue types and diseases.
