  4. 7. Role of cytokines in experimental neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders

    Author : Xing-Mei Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Altered expression of cytokines in response to body injury has diverse actions that can exacerbate, mediate, reduce or inhibit neuronal and myelin damage as well as influence the disease development in a variety of nervous system disorders, such as Alzheimer s disease (AD), multiple sclerosis and Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS).
