Evaluation of inflammation-related genes polymorphisms in Mexican with Alzheimer’s disease: a pilot study

Evaluation of inflammation-related genes polymorphisms in Mexican with Alzheimer’s disease: a pilot study

Amyloid peptide is able to promote the activation of microglia and astrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and this stimulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Inflammation contributes to the process of neurodegeneration and therefore is a key factor in the development of AD. Some of th...
