Thank you for the submission of your manuscript "Inhibition of the immunoproteasome strongly ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE)". We have now heard back from the three referees whom we asked to evaluate your manuscript. As you will see, the referees acknowledge that the overall topic of the manuscript is potentially interesting. However, they also raise significant conc...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. the aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of transplanted human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stromal cells (ucb-msc) derived neural progenitor cell (mdnpc) in eae, an experimental model of ms. to initiate neuronal differentiation of ucb-mscs, the pre-inductio...

The TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has well-described anti-inflammatory effects in models of autoimmune disease, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In this issue of Neuron, Aktas, Smorodchenko, and colleagues present evidence that TRAIL exerts anti-inflammatory effects, but also induces neuronal apoptosis, in EAE. This report poses the therapeutic challeng...

Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is one of the best-documented animal models of autoimmune disease. We examined the role of CD8+CD122+ regulatory T cells, which we previously identified as naturally occurring regulatory T cells that effectively regulate CD8+ T cells, in EAE. Depletion of CD8+CD122+ regulatory T cells by in vivo administration of anti-CD122 mAb resulted in persist...

Neuroendocrine-immune interactions are thought to be important in determining susceptibility to autoimmune disease. Animal studies have revealed that differences in susceptibility to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) are related to reactivity in the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. It is known that there is a close relation between neuroendocrine parameters and behavioral chara...

background: experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae) is an animal model of multiple sclerosis, which is a demyelinating and an inflammatory disease of central nervous system. recent studies have established that some molecules such as lipocaline2 (lcn2), which expresses during inflammatory conditions, play an important role in eae pathogenesis and might involve in its treatment process. r...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is known as a progressive central nervous system inflammatory disease. certain factors, such as interleukins, inflammatory cells, and oxidative stress are supposed to involve in ms etiology. because of the important role of oxidative stress, antioxidant therapy for ms has received more attention. although coenzyme q10 (coq10) acts as an antioxidant, there is ...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune inflammatory, demyelinating disease of human central nervous system. experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (eae) is the commonly used animal model of ms. calorie restriction has been found to reduce inflammation and autoimmune responses and promote neuroprotection. in this study we evaluated the effects of intermittent feeding protocol of the calorie...
