Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Strong evidence exists indicating that chronic neuroinflammation contributes to the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A major focus of AD-associated research has been amyloid-beta (Abeta) protein deposits. Vaccination with Abeta stimulates phagocytosis of Abeta in transgenic mouse models of AD, leading to clearance of the deposits. Similar vaccination in humans with AD has, however, led to meningoencephalitis in some cases. The difference probably depends on the initial level of brain inflammation, which is much higher in bona fide AD in humans than in the transgenic mice. Because both pro- and anti-inflammatory activation of immune cells are possible, stimulating the phagocytic action of microglia while simultaneously stimulating anti-inflammatory activity might be beneficial in AD.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
