Suppression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by selective blockade of encephalitogenic T-cell infiltration of the central nervous system
Article Abstract:
Results show that blockade of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, during myelin basic protein or peptide or encephalitogenic T cells induced disease. Data indicate that the RAGE inhibition significantly reduceses central nervous sysem infiltration by immune and inflammatory cells.

RAGE mediates amyloid-beta peptide transport across the blood-brain barrier and accumulation in brain
Article Abstract:
The upshot of amyloid-beta cells transport across the blood-brain-barrier is illustrated. The development of cerebral amyloidosis has targeted the vascular rage for inhibiting pathogenic consequences of A-beta-vascular interactions.
