Chronic neuroinflammation, microglial activation and elevated levels of brain interleukin (IL)-1 characterize infectious, neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases, as well as exposure to stressful conditions. Our studies suggest that blockade of IL-1 signaling by various methods, including intra-hippocampal transplantation of neural precursor cells with transgenic over-expression of IL-1 receptor antagonist (picture on the right), can improve illness-associated emotional and cognitive disturbances. |
