    Department of Rheumatology, University of Goteborg, Goteborg, Sweden
    Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord 15:207-11. 2003
    ..The intrathecal TNF-alpha levels were related to the clinical symptoms of dementia, as well as to intrathecal levels of sulfatide, a marker of white matter degradation, and of neurofilament, a marker of neuronal degeneration...

    Elisabeth Tarkowski
    Department of Rheumatology, Section of Neurology and Neurochemistry, University of Goteborg, S 413 46 Goteborg, Sweden
    Brain Res Bull 61:255-60. 2003
    ..Our results, which show for the first time strikingly increased CSF levels of TNF-alpha but not of TNF-beta, IL-1beta or IL-6 in AD and VAD, may form a conceptual framework for further studies of neuroprotective mechanisms in dementias...

    E Tarkowski
    Department of Rheumatology, University of Goteborg, Sweden
    Acta Neurol Scand 103:166-74. 2001
    ..It is suggested that GM-CSF once secreted induces programmed cell death in the brain tissue of patients with dementia...

    E Tarkowski
    Department of Rheumatology, Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Goteborg, Guldhedsgatan 10, S 413 46 Goteborg, Sweden
    Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord 12:314-7. 2001
    ..Our study demonstrates a decreased production of the anti-inflammatory compound IL-1ra, suggesting a propensity towards inflammation in patients with AD...

    Elisabeth Tarkowski
    Department of Rheumatology, University of Goteborg, Goteborg, Sweden
    Neurobiol Aging 23:237-43. 2002
    ..In addition, we show in AD and VAD an intrathecal production of TGF-beta, a cytokine exerting on one hand anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties, but on the other promoting amyloidogenesis...

    Neurobiol Aging 24:707-14. 2003
    ..The positive correlation between preoperative TNF-alpha and sulfatide levels in the CSF suggest that intrathecal TNF-alpha may contribute to the damage of the white matter known to occur in patients with NPH...
