Get your researchers after this, this sounds incredibly important.

Researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center have discovered a mechanism that triggers chronic inflammation in Alzheimer’s, atherosclerosisand type-2 diabetes.
The
results, published today in Nature Immunology, suggest a common
biochemical thread to multiple diseases and point the way to a new class
of therapies that could treat chronic inflammation in these
non-infectious diseases without crippling the immune system.
Alzheimer’s, atherosclerosis and type-2 diabetes—diseases associated
with aging and inflammation—affect more than 100 million Americans.
When the body encounters a
pathogen, it unleashes a rush of chemicals known as cytokines that draws
immune cells to the site of infection and causes inflammation.
Particulate matter in the body, such as the cholesterol crystals
associated with vascular disease and the amyloid plaques that form in
the brain in Alzheimer’s disease, can also cause inflammation but the
exact mechanism of action remains unclear. Researchers previously
thought that these crystals and plaques accumulate outside of cells, and
that macrophages—immune cells that scavenge debris in the body—induce
inflammation as they attempt to clear them.
“We’ve discovered that the mechanism causing chronic inflammation in these diseases is actually very different,” says Kathryn J. Moore, PhD,
senior author of the study and associate professor of medicine and cell
biology, Leon H. Charney Division of Cardiology at NYU Langone Medical
Center.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,294 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
