Mechanistic description

TNF-α/IL-6 inhibition is beneficial in early/prodromal AD but harmful in established disease when these cytokines support neuronal survival and repair. Cardiovascular applications target chronic inflammation without this temporal sensitivity.

Mechanism / pathway

  2. clinical neurology
