Mechanistic description

Low-level TNF-α/IL-6 signaling is essential for synaptic scaling and homeostatic plasticity in AD brains attempting compensation. Complete inhibition disrupts these adaptive mechanisms while cardiovascular function doesn’t require synaptic modulation.

Mechanism / pathway

  1. TNFRSF1B
  2. clinical neurology
